Happy Valentine’s Day!

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and I wasn’t expecting anything since my anniversary is so close (it’s the 12th).

However, much to my suprise these arrived at work yesterday:

a nice suprise!

My walk home was also a suprise yesterday.  I was really jazzed because I had scored a great seat on the northbound subway.  The train left the station and as it did I noticed something-a strange smell.  Like a burning tires type of strange smell.  At the next station the train stopped and the smell intensified-I turned around and saw several personnel running towards the front of the train.  I had to make a decision-give up my seat or sit tight.

I got off the train. Glad I did…the platform was filled with smoke.  I exited the station which was also filling up with smoke.  Yay-a 35 minute walk home.  The only good part was that I was able to add those activity points on my Weight Watchers Tracker.  I couldn’t understand why so many people did NOT get off the train.  Maybe they were jazzed about their seats too?

We had made a commitment to working out last night too and we stuck to it.  We were the only ones there (after all it was Valentine’s Day).  The entire workout was a kettlebell workout-Greg from Strengthbox must have known how to lure me in, I got to use a pink kettlebell.  Smart!  Afterwards, the best gift of all:

OoOoOo what's inside? Spoiler alert-read the outside of the box, people.

MY pink kettlebell!

 

Here I sit today-very sore.  But completely satisfied with my Valentine’s Day!

How was YOUR Valentine’s Day?

      I agree!

      I decided I am going to work on the exercises we did last night everyday. Not to the point of exhaustion-but just to improve technique.
