It's been a CRAZY few weeks, which explains why I haven't been able to post much more than what routines I've been done. September was a ridiculous work month - damn the end of the fiscal year! We had a deadline to move our entire application from those servers to these servers, which I was primarily in charge of. Thank Zeus it went off mostly without a hitch, and they seem to be running along just swimmingly now!
Of course right after I did that I toddled off to Munich for Oktoberfest, and let's be honest -- there wasn't a *ton* of exercising going on there. I did manage to walk a few miles every day though, that counts, right? Right!
I have to be in another bikini in t-minus 11 days, which means I'm going to make working out a priority this and next week. It'll be tough -- I've got a wedding to attend this weekend and it's BF and my anniversary, but I think I can work off the beer weight in time. To get started: a biking and toning workout originally inspired by ToneItUp's 'Itty Bitty Bikini Cardio'; at this point I feel like I've amped it up to the millionth degree, so I almost consider it allllll mine.

Totally crushed it! I thought I would struggle because of all the crap I've been doing for the past couple days, plus I haven't done level 16 in... oh... about forever, but the first two circuits were awesome! The third didn't go so well, which I why I dropped down the resistance for the second time through. But even on my 'normal' resistance I pushed and got higher distances than usual - horray!
My only fail on the day was that I had intended to do some ab work after my cardio, but I was just too exhausted. I'll have to fit in in another day! Must be done!
The day after my legs were unsurprisingly sore, so I'll focus on upper body.
