Well friends, I have been officially snowed in for 24 hours. I live in south Charlotte, NC and we had almost a foot of snow.
When I got home yesterday, Marty was in a trance watching the snow.
I decided to get glamorous, duh. I put on my finest cotton PJ pants that are two sizes too big, a long black and grey cami, and a sweatshirt that has a nice big stain on it. Not to mention my hair has not been washed in two days, no makeup except for a little mascara that did not get washed off the night before, and the purple rubberband holding my hair in a ponytail is from my asparagus. #TheHotMessExpress
I was able to spend a lot of the afternoon working, on two different computers, with a cat that wanted a lot of attention. So that was fun.
Later in the evening I was going crazy and I needed to exercise. However, I had to get creative and improvise. Here is what I came up with, ha...
I moved some of my furniture and made a clear spot so I could get to work.
And I don't know what the hell happened or what exactly I did, but it was an awesome work out. I did it for an hour and 20 minutes. I was drenched is sweat when I finished.
I started with a 13 minute warm up doing "mini suicides". I would then do jump squats, burpees, mountain climbers, kickboxing cardio movies, walking lunges, ran in place - I literally just MOVED. Oh and I also did the Wop dance, Cupid Shuffle, and Cha Cha Slide. Ha!
It definitely was "The Hot Mess Express Workout" (my theme) but it worked. I blasted my music and moved my body.
I am way sore from it!

Earlier today, I walked was able to walk across the street to Earthfare to get a couple of goodies to last me. Thank you Earthfare for being open!
Around 3PM, the sun finally decided to make an appearance! It melted a lot of the snow, but unfortunately, it will all be turning to ice tonight.
I wanted to go to the gym, but it was closed. My apartment gym was so crowded that nothing was available for use. Thus, I did my home workout again. Man that damn work out is tough. Like I said, no excuses, baby! If you want it, you get it.
I have to be at work at 10 AM tomorrow. Hopefully it will not be too icy, say a little prayer for me. Stay warm you guys and have a great weekend!
wow, you guys are getting pummeled with snow! stay safe and warm!

ReplyDeletehope you are able to go out and get some food!!!
If I were snowed in, I'd be doing the exact same things as you ;) Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it make you want to visit the Midwest so you can experience that snowstorm craziness EVERY year? Haha. I'm glad you're holding up well and way to improvise with the at-home workout! Still kicking so much butt!!! Also, I think Apollo and Luigi would like a play date with Marty. I think they'd be BFFs if they ever got the chance ; ).
ReplyDeletegirl I loved the video!!!! cutest voice ever!!! haha. OH and I LOVE the asparagus pony tail holder!! u are hilarious!!! stay warm!!!
ReplyDeletewe're getting snow too it sucks so bad. I'm so over this snow.
ReplyDeleteHahah that picture of Marty is awesome and it's even more awesome that the rubber band in your hair is from the asparagus!
ReplyDeleteBeing snowed in doesn't sound too fun, hopefully you are able to get out of the house soon. That picture of Marty cracks me up! You definitely don't look like a hot mess, if I looked that good without washing my hair for a couple of days and lounging around in pajamas I would be one happy girl. Plus you have the cutest voice, I love it! I wish I had an accent!
ReplyDeleteWe got 5 inches of snow last night in like a 2 hour window. It was so beautiful and we went out and played in it. Now it is melting and I am at work. boo!
ReplyDeletePS - You are too cute in your video! Look at you being a fitness bad ass in your apartment!
Wow that is a lot of snow for the south. It is snowing here and i am hoping they let us go since it is coming down really hard. Seriously though let's talk about how cute your accent is, girl!!
ReplyDeleteThe hot mess express is the best, especially when you're snowed in!
ReplyDeleteLove your creativity! Sometimes the best workouts are "non-workouts!" :)
ReplyDeleteBeing snowed in sucks. I live in Minnesota so I'm used to the massive amounts of snow, but even though we are prepared, a heavy snowfall even gets us down - sometimes. Way to stick it out! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, look how beautiful you look while being comfy and "fancy" lol
ReplyDeleteMarty is looking adorable watching the snow fall!
Bahahaha... I love that you used an asparagus band!
ReplyDeleteHey Girl- thanks for the super sweet comments on my blog post.
ReplyDeleteGood job getting it in your exercise where ever you can! I've been known to do that a time or two. Good luck getting to work- stay safe!
Super cool look! Stay safe! and I admire you for getting your exercise in this cold too!
ReplyDeleteNo excuses love it and I live next to UNC Charlotte so I was stuck in the house too :)
ReplyDeletethis makes me feel extremely spoiled living in AZ it's in the 80's here.. stay warm!!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say how much I love the fact that you used the rubber and from the asparagus to hold up your hair. Too funny! Way to keep the working out through all this weather, the snow always slows me down.
ReplyDeleteI love all the snow, but it's official... we have no clue how to handle the snow in Alabama! Ha! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! I'm all about working out at home :)
ReplyDeleteI love the sight of snow as long as distance can come with it hehe! & your kitty I so want him! I love how fluffy he is...
ReplyDeleteLook at all of that snow! And in Charlotte no less. Ugh I bet it's just a mess down there and no one is out and about! Hopefully you have some nicer weather coming soon!
