Keeping Up With Kim : Workouts and Ice Cream

Great combo right? Well that was the highlight of my Thursday.

Thursdays include my 2 favorite workout classes at the gym. The first is a cardio mix class that includes step, kickboxing and some weights. The second is a standard weight training class. After the 2 solid hours I am spent! The instructor is the most intense woman and I love her classes. It took me awhile to finally get myself to start going to them because of how intense she is, but now after a year of regularly attending I am always wanting more! It really means a lot when she pays me a compliment on my efforts in front of the class. When she sees a person working hard on any level she takes notice which is really motivating!

There comes a point where all of a sudden my body just starts pouring sweat. Gross yes, but so good at the same time.

However, as long as I have been going, these high intensity workouts send my blood sugar for a ride. Before the classes began (and after bfast) I was 175 which is perfect for working out. However afterward was a different story....

Yikes.. But as Ryan says...

It's crazy how every type of workout will have a different affect, but I just gotta deal. Things got better by bar time...

Now onto that ice cream I mentioned.

Dinner was at the Cheesecake Factory again and this time I just couldn't resist one of my favorite desserts. Here are some snap shots from dinner.

Appetizers: spinach and artichoke dip and some lettuce wraps.

Chop salad, yum!

And my favorite....

I very easily could have eaten it all, but mom and I split it. As the saying goes... YOLO ...

The night ended with watching one of my favorites. The Sex and the City movie was on e! which meant I was up til 11, way past my bedtime. (It is actually on again now as I write this, win!).

I love the messages is this movie. If it is meant to be it will be, true love and friendship. I LOVE the scene where Carrie is in those gorgeous dresses for the Vogue shoot.
