Friends Don't Let Friends Skip Leg Day!

Today was a cold, rainy Monday and to make it worse I had to go to the dentist. Actually… I like the dentists, but only because my dentist has gorgeous blue eyes. It was extremely difficult to get out of bed this morning and I almost opted out on skipping my workout- curling up in bed watching TV sounded much better than a leg workout. However, after lying in bed an hour after my alarm had already gone off, I realized that the gym would probably be less packed because it was pouring out. And I was right! I had the gym to myself with the exception of some guy in a SPAM shirt working on upper body.  Every time I hear the word spam I think of 50 First Dates- Spam and Reese’s!)  It was perfect; I flew through my workout and came out with jell-o legs. 

 Side note: My lower back has been giving me some trouble the past few days so I decided to skip out on squats with the bar and keep the weight for the other squats light.  If you notice you are in some pain whether it came from exercising, sleeping wrong or just random, give that area time to recover! You wouldn't want to irritate it more than it already is! Anyways, overall it was a good Monday with a great workout and no cavities! (woop!)
