total body workout Archives

Since coming back from Miami this weekend, Vishnu and I have been talking a lot about making better use of our time. We came to the realization that we’re not taking advantage of the opportunities that come our way nearly as much as we thought we were. We already have some fun plans in the works!

In other news this week, I think I overload our meal plan. When I’m making new-to-me dishes, I always forget about leftovers. I’m hoping this means we don’t need to buy too many groceries next week.

Ok, enough chit chat, let’s move on to this week’s Three Things Thursday…

(1) International Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT!!!

Vishnu and I are driving to Orlando on Saturday and spending the entire day at Epcot! In addition to experiencing the normal attractions, we’ll also get to sample some amazing food at the International Food and Wine Festival that’s going on right now! I CAN’T FREAKING WAIT!

I’ve been to Disney World and Universal Studios but have yet to visit Epcot. I can already see myself reverting back to my inner eight year old. Fun times!

Oh and I plan to Snapchat all the fun, so feel free to follow along (username –> myinnershakti)!

(2) Total Body Strength Workout

I did this workout on Monday and was sore for the next couple of days! If you’re looking for a great total body strength workout to add to your rotation, I highly recommend this one. It’s a winner!

(3) St. Petersburg Weather

If you’ve been reading MIS for the last few months, you know that the weather has been terrible. Rain, mugginess, humidity, more rain, etc.

Well, it looks like things are finally taking a turn for the better. The weather this week has been, dare I say, perfect! It’s still a little too hot for my taste, but there’s a nice breeze and the sunshine is so refreshing! My short lunchtime walks have me really looking forward to the next few months.

Well, that’s all I have today. Have a great Thursday!

If you’re a blogger, write a post and link back to one or all of the hostesses: Raj from Pink Chai Living, Nisha from Love Laugh Mirch, or Salma from The Write Balance. Then share a link to your post (not your blog’s home page).

Funny story of the day – I was scheduling a work meeting yesterday afternoon and totally scheduled it for Wednesday morning not realizing it WAS Wednesday. I then stared at my Outlook calendar for a few seconds because I couldn’t believe the work week was half way over. Say what?!

Anyways, let’s just get to my three random things for the week before I share more embarrassing stories!

(1) Vishnu’s parents and brother are visiting this weekend

Niel gets in tonight, and my in-laws get in tomorrow evening. Unfortunately, Vishnu’s working 7a-7p both Saturday and Sunday. We’ll make the most of their time here though, even when Vishnu’s at work! Can’t wait to see them.

(2) This total body workout from Tone It Up kicked my butt.

I repeated this sequence three times through, and it felt like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest. In a good way of course!

(3) 2015 Summer reading list update

I’m still reading The Poisonwood Bible, a book that wasn’t even on my original list. And it’s taking me forever, I know. The book is over 550 pages (dense pages I should say), and it didn’t really grab my attention until about 100 pages in. I’m hoping it’ll be more of a page turner now that the story is going somewhere.

To be completely honest, I almost gave up on this book. After confessing this to Vishnu (who insisted for almost 10 years that I read it in the first place), he knowingly nodded. When I asked him how long it would take for something to happen, he said to wait until after page 300. Then it gets really good he said. Well, I’m at 110 and it’s getting better so here goes nothing.

And as far as that Summer reading list goes, it’s looking more like a Fall reading list now.

Well, that’s all I have today. I’ll be back tomorrow with a VERY delicious recipe (involving chocolate!).
