Bikini Body Momma Day 5
Today I was supposed to wake up early and complete Day 5, however, I was so zonked from doing a complete overhaul to my bedroom from 8pm - 12:30am that I slept right thr9ough my alarm. My Plan B was to complete it tonight, but I ended up shopping at two thrifty stores, make a return to Marshals, and hit the general store for some much needed household maintenance items. 

20 Thursday:

Today again I passed on working out in the morning.  I was zonked with another late night and thought I'll workout after my chiropractor appt.  I cleaned up a bit before heading upstairs and was really procrastinating the idea of working out since by then it was 8pm and it was getting close to bedtime.  I ended up laying in bed for 20 minutes thinking about working out and then when I saw 8:20pm I had felt a rush of instance to get up and just get dressed.  so I did.  I went downstairs and warmed up on the elliptical for about 10 minutes then headed to my room where I had loads of space {since my bedroom overhaul} to workout and so lead to completing Day AND ALSO writing my workout days on my dry erase calender board.  I even command stripped it to the wall above my dresser and left a dry erase marker close by so I can cross of each day.
