Some weeks I love Wednesday and other weeks I hate it.  I’m indifferent this week but I thought a midweek giveaway would be perfect, whether you’re happy it’s Wednesday or bummed that it’s only Wednesday.

To enter the giveaway you must “like” Coffee, Cake and Cardio on Facebook and answer today’s question on my facebook page.  The question is, ” If you’re ever having a slow/down week, what helps you to turn it around?”.  Once you have “liked” the page and have left a comment on the facebook page, please leave a comment at the bottom of this blog post saying you have done so.  This will enter you in for a chance to win today’s giveaway item.

So what is the giveaway item you might ask….

Starbucks Card

A $20 STARBUCKS GIFT CARD!

When I’m having a tough/busy/long week, working out and a specialty drink from Starbucks often help to bring a smile to my face.  Last night I was pretty sleepy but I knew that my workout would turn things around.  I did Jillian Michaels’ Body Revolution Workout 8 for the first time and I LOVED it!  I mean love, love, loved it!  It totally turned my day around.

Workout 8 consisted of…

  • Knees to elbow (side bends)
  • Swimmers
  • Cobra
  • Surfer get ups (I need to work on these… I have decided that I would suck at surfing)
  • Cable walks
  • Squat row
  • Bridge dumbbell lat pulls (I LOVED THESE)
  • Cable crossover pulls (again, loved these)
  • Deadlift hammer curls
  • buttkick with curl (awesome)
  • Pendulum lunge with curl
  • Thrusts
  • Jump rope with weights
  • Crescent flies (awesome)
  • Warrior 3 (I need to work on this move)
  • Rockstar jumps
  • Good morning holds
  • Bicycle crunch with cable (awkward)
  • Suicides (LOVE!!)

I left the workout feeling awesome and with a whole new attitude.  You can check out my post workout video here.  After my workout I headed over to Neal’s, had a yummy dinner, and then booked our honeymoon train tickets with Neal.  It’s hard to believe that two months from today we’ll be headed to Europe for our honeymoon!  Can’t wait!

Well I hope y’all have a wonderful Wednesday.  Don’t forget to enter the giveaway!!
