Monday Manjoyment!

Goodness Gracious.

Happy Monday Y'All! I'm baaaccck!!! I am SOOOO sorry for being a MISSING IN ACTION BLOGGER! As you know, I was in NYC for business last week and brought all of my equipment for videos EXCEPT my camcorder DUH!!!! So, then Wednesday was busy, I helped to co-host a #GNO chat on Twitter Tuesday night and then Thursday I spent ALL DAY IN LA GUARDIA AIRPORT. OMG I was about to lose my mind. Left my hotel at 8am, Got home at 8:21pm. I was so drained. And then, I had to get up the next morning and hop in a car and drive 2.5 hours to Galena for a family get-away for my Dad's birthday. Just got home Sunday evening and today has been me attempting to catch a breath and BEGIN attempting to catch up on everything! LOL

So I chose Justin Timberlake for tonight's Manolicious episode because he's really become someone that has it GOIN ON. The man can dance, sing, and clearly workout. Plus he's funny and a great actor. I dig it. The only "flaw" I see maybe is when he lets that hair grow a bit and then the young nSync visuals come back to my mind like this:

And that makes me instantly UNCOMFORTABLE. 

Moving on- so anyway, I'm back. Did some good staying active workouts while I was gone. Went for a killer power-walk/sprint runs for an hour each morning with my sister, hopefully that makes up for a lamea** early start to the week. OY. I gotta gotta gotta get my groove going when I travel. I cannot let another week go when I'm on the road and the workouts become the last thing I schedule. NO WAY. Unacceptable. 

So, here is one of my fav Justin tunes on my iPod:

LOVE the extended version, it has a way cool ending. 

So sad that they aren't dating anymore. I thought they were a cute as heck couple and loved that they worked out together. Anyway, I've been running again, just a little bit here and there, but I'm liking it. Taking my body a bit to adjust to running again- holy crap my shins and calves were dying this weekend! But I'm all for it.

This morning's workout was GSP Rushfit Core Conditioning:

I really need to work him into my boyfriend rotation. He clearly also should be a Monday Manjoyment feature. Anyway, where was I? Great workout, and I did a Sweaty-As-Heck post-workout vlog (will share tomorrow) where I review the workout in a bit more detail. These workouts are AWESOME. The instructor is VERY detailed in his teaching and is never condescending or "know-it-all" in his guidance. Each DVD has 45 minutes of custom instruction then a 45 minute workout! HELLO!! I'm so glad I bought it. Today's workout was awesome, I did the stretch after adding 100 Walking Lunges at the end and I burned 425 calories. 

Love that song. Obviously Madonna has still not grasped the power of social media in that her videos are all "Embedding Disabled" #FAIL. Why is this such a stretch people? Sharing is power! FREE publicity. DUH!!!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you ever do "Two-A-Days"? or just do a split type routine where you do cardio one part of the day and another workout like Yoga at night??

Now. I must leave you children and go for my evening run, because I feel like it. I'm NOT stepping into over-training zone, but I am interested in sometimes doing an evening workout when my schedule permits and I feel like it.
