I'm a mom. I get busy. I don’t always have enough time for my friends, but when the time comes for a girls weekend I immediately get excited and nervous at the same time. I know there will be laughs, fun, food, drinks, drinks and drinks…yes that is drinks, said three times. SO, with that being said, how can you get in a sweat when going on a vacation with your friends? Just do it together! You might have to drag someone to do it with you or they might have to drag you, but hold each other accountable to get a little exercise before you go and make memories that, in my case, you don’t always fully remember. The idea is to enjoy your life, without being to caught up on having a piece of pizza or a margarita every now and again. Don’t over do it and don’t miss out on life because you are too tight about your diet. That’s the great thing about macros, you can make it fit and have fun at the same time.
This weekend we all traveled to the DC area to visit our friend Val, who actually didn’t know we were coming, so, thanks for having us Val, even though you had no choice in the matter. Thanks also to my amazingly strong friends Kimmie and Jordan for joining me in the pics. Most of all I have to thank sweet Carson, Val’s son, for joining in on all the fun and getting in some wheelbarrows and planks with us.
Here is the workout we did. Do it with your friends, spouse, kids…whatever, just do it! We did ours around a high school track, but you could certainly do it in a park or just someones yard. Have fun y’all!
