Expect Bar Crawl was Siriusly Awesome!

Good morning witches and wizards! I hope you are all doing fantastic! On Saturday, October 13, I went to a Harry Potter Bar Crawl! It was tons of fun! I wore my HP gear of course (what I could find)😀! I wore a Harry Potter snuggle as a robe 😂! Definitely need to get a robe! Tons of people dressed up! There were Harry Potter themed drinks, and we got wands! I was in nerd heaven! Siriusly loved this event 😏💖!

A few pictures from the bar crawl! I loved it! 💛😀

Monday 10/08/2018: Legs and Cardio

Went for a morning run. I did 5 miles and felt like I could do another, so it made me motivated to sign up for a 10k in December! I've never done one before, but for the first time, I feel like I could! I also signed up for a 10 mile run in March. If all goes well, I'll sign up for a half marathon, which I've always wanted to do, but never felt like I could! In the afternoon, I did 30 minutes of cardio on the stairclimber!

My leg routine was:

4 sets: (1st set 10 reps, 2nd set 8 reps, 3rd set 6 reps, 4th set 6 reps)
Squat Machine: 160lb, 200lb, 240lb, 280lb, 300lb x 4 reps
Leg Curl: 70lb, 80lb, 90lb, 90lb
Leg Extension: (all sets 12 reps) plate 11, plate 13, plate 15, plate 15
Leg Curl: 70lb, 80lb, 90lb, 90lb
Abs

I don't know how much weight the leg extensions are, but here is a picture to show it!

New personal best on this squat machine! I think I could have done more though!

Tuesday 10/09/2018: Cardio Kickboxing
There was a new girl in class, and she told me that she kept looking at me thinking she needed to keep up and it inspired her 😊! She also said my arms were goals and that's why she was doing this, to get in shape. I've never gotten complimented randomly like that on my arms before! It made me feel good, especially because upper body isn't what I feel great at, so I'm glad there is progress!

Friday 10/19/18-Sunday 10/19/18: Rest
I went to my Alma Mater's homecoming weekend and had tons of fun! I hung out with some old friends as well as new ones! :) It was a great, fun weekend!

I am ready to get back into gear this week. I weighed myself Friday 10/19 and was at 132lbs. At least it finally stopped going up. I am going to work on a new meal plan, but the calorie goal will be the same at 1200. I am going to try to incorporate more running too!

Love Harry Potter!!! Also, love this quote!

Until next time,
