Hi! Did everyone have a great Valentine’s day? I didn’t do anything. I think it’s a silly holiday (I’m one of those people) because I think if you’re in a relationship, you can show someone you love them every day. And if not, you can cry that you’re single every day. Ha ha.
My roommate did get me a balloon with a pack of gum attached to the end. How cute!
And my mom sent me a text of when she was bored and drew this. She’s talented.
I just had to get a little festive, and of course I painted my nails with a Valentine’s theme. Love the pink.
Anyway, this week started body split training and I am loooving it! The first few weeks of Body Earned is all full-body circuits, and then it moves into body part splits which I LOVE.
You know how I’ve been trying to build muscle? Well after over 5 weeks of ZERO cardio, I added it back in on Monday!
I thought I was going to die, but surprisingly I felt stronger and faster. Heck yes! Another surprise? My legs were SO SORE the next day. Just from sprints. How crazy is that?
They were sore all the way up until leg day. And then I died even more, and they are still sore. At least I like the feeling 
I’m weird.
I am in LOVE with this shirt I ordered!!! I got it on a website called Skreened if anyone wants to get it and be my twin. I know you want to!
Last but not least, I’m pretty sure this will always be one of my favorite breakfasts.
Have a great Friday!!
Have you ever gotten sore from cardio?
Do you like celebrating Valentine’s day?

5 weeks of no cardio would definitely make that first day back a tough one!! I’m glad you survived and then kicked butt enough to wear that shirt while doing squats! Pretty epic, not gonna lie. Your mom is too cute. Homemade cards are the best. Have a great Friday!

I did not do anything special yesterday, either. I am with you on the silliness of Valentine’s Day. But then again, maybe I am just a little bitter that I am single!
LOVE that shirt. That is so awesome!!

Haha omigosh that shirt absolutely killed me. Love it! And I’ve definitely been sore from cardio before – even sometimes going for an extended, fast-paced walk leaves my legs sore!

I’m not a big valentine’s fan either! It’s definitely a hallmark holiday! I’m not a big fan of cardio so I definitely don’t do it often but when I do I find that strength training has definitely make me stronger with cardio too!

omg i LOVE that shirt. it’s very you. i was born with a baby butt and i feel like it’ll always be that way haha. but i still squat and work with what i got!
but it still helps me when my mind is telling me DO MORE CARDIO to know that a fit girl like you took a chunk of time off from it!
you seriously continue to inspire me with your lack of cardio. i know, i know, no comparison traps. i read your post
i definitely get sore whenever i run since i so rarely run. it makes me hurt a lot in my hammies!

I honestly only do about 15-20 min of cardio tops when I do it!! I’d much rather lift weights
I get sore from cardio allllll the time. Any time I go for a longer run, or do some arm movement in spin class (I guess that’s more strength though) I wake up sore. It usually goes away by mid day though, I haven’t been all day sore from running in a while. I miss those days! Still loving that shirt..
How sweet! That shirt is awesome. Loooove it.
Oh yes, I’ve been sore from cardio before most definitely! Especially hills during spin! Those can leave me dying for days.
Love your nails girl!!! I’m so intrigued by the workout plan. I really need to look into it after bootcamp. You getting ripped girl!

So…that shirt in black is definitely sitting in my shopping cart right now…:-D I definitely want it, but I think I need to find another one that I like to make the international shipping free worth it (damn shipping to Canada). But I will gladly be your twin once I get it though :-p
And cardio can definitely leave me sore! Especially if I’m been avoiding it for a while, that first workout back to it = leg death the following day.

I think Valentine’s day is silly, too, but I did enjoy feeling loved by my bf yesterday. He makes me feel that way everyday though.
LOVE your shirt! And yes, I definitely will feel sore after reincorporating sprints, or any new exercise. I started dancing again this week, and my neck even hurts. But I love feeling sore, too!

After a break from cardio, it always feels SO good to get back into it! I’ve been sick all week and it’s driving me crazy becuase I just want to RUN!

I’ve been sore from cardio before; its weird!!
I’m sort of indifferent to Valentine’s Day..don’t love it don’t hate it!
Loving the look of your OIAJ though..always way better eaten out of a jar

Hahahaha oh my gosh I LOVE that shirt!
And yes I totally get sore from cardio! I actually tried running last week for the first time in months and I only lasted like 20 minutes of running/walking because of knee pain, but I was still so sore the next day!

I am not huge on Valentine’s Day either, even when I was not single I didn’t pay it too much attention. I am seriously loving both that shirt and that breakfast!

Hi this is my first time commenting – I came here from Brittany in ittybitsofbalance
juz wana say how impressed i am with ur muscles
i’m going to my first weightlifting class next Tue (i’ve lifted a bit on my own, but it’d be nice to have a coach who pushes me) – super pumped!
ps. i am eating the exact same breakfast!! OIJC in sunflower butter. Yummmmm
Thank you so much!!
That shirt is awesome! I’m really digging fitness/word tanks lately. I bought my best friend a black one for Christmas that said “Beastmode” in sparkly gold lettering and had a bright pink bow on the straps in the back… now I want one, too!

Cardio only leaves me sore if I do crazy sprints! Sometimes on a super long run I’ll be a bit sore too, especially if there are a lot of hills. I am in loooooove with that shirt. I might have to get one soon!!

I kinda like that DOMS feeling too, it make me feel like I actually did something/really worked out! Haha.
LOVE the shirt! I’ll happily be your twin!
I’ve barely done any cardio over the past few months, but my new plan has me doing sprints 1-2 days/week. I completed my first round this weekend, and DAMN, I’m sore! Like you, I love the feeling, though!
Hope you had a great weekend, Brittany! <3

Ha! Funny shirt.
I’m not bold enough to wear it, but it’s certainly eye-catching.
