I hope that you have been enjoying your weekend so far! My weekend has been really wonderful. Friday, I received a very fun package from my MIL that contained an adorable embroidered Itzy’s Kitchen bag, along with some new Itzy’s Kitchen dish towels. Love them!
I also baked up some muffins to bring to the other instructors at our Body Pump launch. I used Jessie’s High Fiber Double Chocolate Muffin recipe and this ginormous muffin mold. (BTW- I am still blind photographing, so I apologize for the pictures):
The only change I made to her recipe was to cut back on the sugar a bit and use half rolled oats, half oat bran vs. all oat bran. The outcome was super fudgy and amazing. Thank you Jessie!!
Friday night, we went out to eat with friends and then attended a graduation party. We had a blast. Saturday morning was exercise filled! My Mom came down to Charleston to take my Body Step class and then to attend our Body Pump Launch. The launch was AWESOME! Here are some pictures

Biceps:

Abs:
Instructors! We were supposed to do a summer theme…but we didn’t end up all getting the message…so we had no theme instead haha (I’m in the pink top/black skirt):
After the launch, my adorable Mama & I met Josh at Charleston’s Cafe (heaven) for brunch:
The rest of the day has been spent starting to learn my Body Step choreography (launch coming up soon), doing work around the house, and relaxing with Josh & Frank.
Dinner was a hodge podge for me. For Josh, I cooked up some scallops topped with everyday seasoning & red pepper in a little olive oil & butter.
I threw it on top of some rice and served it with corn on the cob and unpictured watermelon and yogurt:
How has your weekend been???

I finally got back to Body Pump on Thurs and the instructor did 5 of the tracks from 74! I liked some more than others but it was good! I need to get back into a regular Pump schedule.
We launched 74 last night. We went with a Beach Theme. It was fun. Def the most challenging release yet. In my opinion! Love it!
Haven't posted about it yet, but I did post just a few pics on my blog.
I just found your blog from your guest post on Meals & Moves. Your blog is so cute and I want to dog-nap your english bulldog. OMG, he is SO cute!
I just did the Body Pump 74 this morning for the first time. I always died on the lunge track! :)
