Plan for the week

Channing Tatum

Originally, I thought I'd go swimming today or maybe go for a run, but then I had the chance to go watch Channing Tatum in "The Vow" and all thoughts left my head....until I saw his abs and then all I wanted to do was suck my own in. 


Actually, I did decide to take today as a rest day in more ways than one. I wanted to rest my body as well as prepare my mind for the busy week ahead.  


I thought it might help for me to write out my week's workouts in order to hit prime motivation!
