Being Unstoppable. What’s stopping you?

What an incredible week. That 20 minute weight workout was a real departure from the past for a couple reasons -
1.) I didn’t have the “right” attire. I left my sneakers at home, so I just worked out in my flip-flops. Guess what? I still got a good workout!
2.) It was completely spontaneous. The yoga instructor yesterday was a no-show. It didn’t bug me that I got up for the 7:00am class and they didn’t show up. I would be there anyway. It just threw off my workout. I had a nice breakfast date instead with my SO. By late afternoon it was nagging at me that I hadn’t worked out, and had no plans to. QA needed another build and I had to hang out to verify it, so I decided the time would be best spent at the gym.
Here’s the 20 minute workout:
Dumbbell Squats: 15 x 20lb (2 sets)
Lunges: 12 x 12lb (2 sets)
Glute Machine: 15 x 50lb
Leg Extension: 15 x 50lb
Upright Row on cable machine: 15 at setting 6
Tricep Pressdown: 15 at setting 5
I ended the night having dinner at Zorba’s with 2 dear friends, followed by a phone call catching up with my brother and his wife.
This weekend 2 members of my family are reuniting after not speaking or seeing each for 5 or 6 years. I can’t believe it! I’m so happy to be a part of it.
