And just one day away from Thursday! See, I have a countdown going because after Thursday's classes my weekend begins. I am making a road-trip down to SoFla, aka "home sweet home"... or just South Florida. I can't wait to see the familia, I haven't seen them in way too long :) OH yeah, I am also going down for a law school open-house! I am a bit anxious about it because this is one of the schools I am hoping to get into (fingers-crossed). I just hope the weather gets better, it has been raining here all day today and I don't want to have to drive in the rain :( ... But enough of my rant.
Yesterday, was weight training day w/ Rusty! (fourth week). I must admit these weight training sessions have seriously gotten me out of my exercise rut! Since I started to incorporate weight training to my workouts I have seen great results :)

- *Cardio Interval on Treadmill*
- 5 minute warm up
- Run 2 mins. @ speed 5.5 - 6.5
- Run 1 min. @ speed 7.0- 8.0
- Repeat step 2 & 3, 3-4 times.
- 5 minute cool down
I do this workout 3x's a week, but each week I change the weight training exercises. However, the cardio interval has remained the same I have just increased the speed as the weeks go by. The other 2-3 days I focus on cardio: spinning, running, or playing tennis!
Doesn't all that work deserve a treat? ;)
Tonight Rusty invited me to some YogurTopia!
Such a cute place :)
Our FroYos! Of-course mine is the one on the left since I gave up chocolate for Lent :) I had some vanilla yogurt w/ bananas and strawberries.
Great Hump-Day Treat :) What are your favorite fro-yo toppings?
I love DIY froyo! I like to add a lot of fruit, a little mochi, and a chocolate-covered pretzel.
