Happy Pump Day


Hello lovelies, I hope you're having an awesome 'pump day'. That's muscle pump, not shoes ladies, but yes, a hot pair of heels would be perfect to top off this day. :) After a solid workout, my baby cooked up a massive set of NY strips and popped open a glass of cabernet to celebrate my new job as a Print Account Manager. Woot Woot! I'm super pumped to get started next week!! 

My interview was stellar and the team was so easy to talk to. It wasn't the type of interview with a 5 page list of behavior based questions from a panel. Whew. I have landed jobs in the past with a long interview, but really, who wants to go through that with every applicant? I was warmly greeted by two enthusiastic ladies who were actually a bit skeptical of hiring a new member, but they warmed up to me quickly. We chatted for a bit and I asked questions about the facility, which skills they were looking for in a new print manager, which projects they were working on and what were some of their major problems and concerns that I could help address. We had a very candid conversation and I did answer their questions about my strengths, my organizational skills, and how I dealt with customer issues. Overall, it was a very open, informative, and relaxed conversation. The team I'll be working with is supportive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Can't wait to get back to it. 

In the meantime, I burned off some energy with today's workout. My body is starting to reel from the long workouts I've been putting in and I need to get back to time saving workouts to suit my schedule. I kept this one to an hour while jamming out to the House Music Playlist I posted. So let's get pumped and get to work ladies! :)

Diva Legs Workout

Happy Monday Ya'll!   I hope you had a lovely weekend and you're as pumped as I am for today's workout. I absolutely could not wait to get to the gym today. After visualizing my workout and jamming to my girl Tina Turner and Beyonce, I nearly tripped over myself to get out the door with protien shaker, banana, and playlist in hand.  This is a solid leg workout for you. Its challenging and hits all areas of the leg. I definitely felt shakey and a bit giraffe-legged once I hit the weights so I threw in some pushups and pullups to let my legs recover a bit. Check it out:  But wait a second honey, we're just gettin' started! Finish off with this Tina Turner Leg Routine and Shake a tail featha!

Weekend Recap: Bike Rides, Puppies, and Mimosas!

Saturday Morning Bike Rides What a gorgeous weekend! Saturday morning Andrew and I loaded up our road bikes and headed to downtown Houston to ride the Bayou Trails. The trails wind around the water way for miles with paths for runners, cyclists, groups of walkers and parents with strollers to explore with a lovely view of the skyline. I tend to throw the hammer down on a ride and I managed to go for it a few times, but I think I might have to save that for another time. I'm sure I surprised a few runners on the narrower trails, but I couldn't help myself. After a long ride, we cruised over to an open field where the city was hosting a a small Picnic in the Park with Badminton, hoola hoops, bag toss, live music, and a few food vendors.  Not a bad start to the Weekend.  Surprise honey!  Still excited from our ride, we headed to Petsmart for their adoption Saturdays to meet our new dog Marley! We immediately fell in love with him--just look at that face! He'...
