Drop It, Drop It Low Girl

You read that title right! Today was filled with tons of squats and high cardio, while watching Law and Order SVU of course! Yesterday I felt a little discouraged about my progress because I’ve been eating very clean and have been hitting the gym hard.  I’m pretty sure that fueled the fire for today’s workout and that’s not always a bad thing. After having a comforting talk with Ryan, I had to remind myself that progress is a slow process and for the two and a half weeks that I’ve been doing my blog I have seen progress; just not in the parts of my body that I want. I read somewhere that it takes 21 days to develop a habit, and while I’m not at 21 days just yet, I do feel a sense of improvement. Even small victories are worth celebrating. So celebrate those victories with this workout. If you need to put on Big Booty Radio on Pandora for this butt droppin' workout, go right ahead! J
