Did everyone exercise today? I did, but I'll tell you, it was hard. I did my favorite yoga class and then I got on the Peloton for a 30 minute ride. I tried a new instructor though and I could not STAND her. Which sounds fairly dramatic but there is nothing quite like doing something hard that requires sweating and physical exertion and at the same time being intensely annoyed by the person who is supposedly motivating you. Ugh, horrible. I pushed thru though and I DID feel better afterwards though, that's the good news. I love the Peloton, it's amazing if anyone is on the fence about getting one. It's super convenient, great cardio, and I love that you can tailor your rides unlike when you actually go to a spin class. I never want to get on for more than 45 minutes (20-30 is perfect), so committing to an entire 60 min spin class sounds horrible. The key though is finding instructors that you like, because some of them are very colorful and very stylized, so you just have to find your compatible style. The instructor today kept making the heart sign with her two hands, and she said 'I love you' way so many times I wanted to box her.
I will note though, that forcing myself to exercise more than normal felt really good after it was done. I'm ready to hit it again because this week is all about getting strong and pushing thru the lethargy.
Also, reminder to all...Mother's Day is coming soon (5/10). You still have time to find something and have it shipped with time to spare. Also, I will just note, that if you have a daughter-in-law who is a mother, YES, do buy her a gift. No, my mother in law never does this, but I think it's an incredibly sweet gesture to honor the mother of your grandchildren so when I do in fact have a daughter-in-law, I'm definitely doing it!! I also love to send little gifts to girlfriends because mamas everywhere should be celebrated! Today we're doing 30% off all jewelry, so it's easy to find something small and special for the mamas you love (code: mama)--and of course we wrap and ship it for free! Easy right?
