A Few Good Things & Workouts of the Week

Dudes. My arms are like limp noodles right now - I put myself through a doozy of an arm workout this afternoon. I'm still trying to recover, while simultaneously trying not to sob because I know that my arms are going to be even more sore and useless over the next 2 days. #RecoveryTimeCanBiteMyButt.

I've been so productive today - scrubbing our tub till it looked like Ajax was here (holler if you get the reference), finishing up a collage that I began yesterday, washing tons of dishes and bleaching the bejesus out of our kitchen counters (coffee rings: #takethattakethattakethat), kicking ass at the gym, AND just finishing one of those yummy orange honey banana smoothies. AND IT'S NOT EVEN 5PM YET.

So to keep this productivity going, I thought I'd post this blog with lots of recent pictures from around Vancouver, plus all of my workouts from the past week. Enjoy!
