I did three sets of 12 reps of each of the following circuits:
- squats, 15 lbs
- bent-over row, 5 lbs
- overhead press, 5 lbs
- upright row, 5 lbs
- tricep kickbacks, 5lbs
- bicep curl, 10 lbs
- leg extensions, 80 lbs
- leg curls, 60 lbs
- pushups (on my knees...'cause I'm weak)
- plank, 30 seconds
- back extensions
- traditional crunches
- medicine ball twists, 10 lbs
- reverse crunches
Whew! I compiled the exercises from my Women's Health Big Book of Exercises, and going into the gym with a plan definitely helped. Overall, it took me about an hour, including a ten-minute easy warmup on the elliptical and a bit of stretching at the end.

For breakfast, I made myself another bowl of smoothie cereal!
First, I blended a frozen banana with a cup of almond milk, a scoop of vanilla rice protein and a pinch of xanthan gum. I poured it into a bowl, then added some frozen raspberries and a few handfuls of Kashi GoLean cereal.
All mixed up:
It was a nice, cool breakfast for this already hot morning. I'm loving this heat wave! My outfit is warm-weather appropriate, as well:
Awkward pose. Let me see you bounce right to left and let your shoulder lean!

- Black and gold belt: Bebe, also swiped from my mom's closet

Hope you have a wonderful day!
