Good afternoon! How are you all doing with the time change? It always takes me a while to get used to it, but I’m happy that it will stay light out longer.
Yesterday
Yesterday afternoon, my mom watched the kids for a while so Danny and I could go out and look for bedroom furniture. We’re trying to find a whole new bedroom set, and so far I haven’t found anything that I loved.
We looked at a lot of complete bedroom sets, but I don’t know if I like all the matchy matchy sets. I love this bedroom that I found on Pinterest:
So far, I can’t find exactly what I want so, the search continues! If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them.
While we were out, we stopped at Whole Foods for lunch and some more carrot cake Clif bars.
Planks
The plank-a-day challenge is going great. Danny and I are improving each day. Yesterday was day #10. Danny’s plank was 1 minute and 55 seconds.
My plank was 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
I used Marlene’s trick and listened to music while doing my plank. I think it really worked because I lasted 5 seconds longer than the day before!
Today’s Workout
- BodyPump – 60 minutes
- Plank Day #11 – 2 minutes 51 seconds
- 2.1 miles treadmill, walked/jogged
I did the plank after BodyPump today so it was really hard. I made it one second longer than yesterday and that was a struggle. My whole body was shaking after a minute, but the music really helps.
Breakfast
I had a small protein fruit smoothie this morning.
In my smoothie:
- 1/2 cup frozen peaches
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 scoop white chocolate Designer Whey protein powder
- 3 ounces Trop50 orange juice

Have a great afternoon!
- Know any good places for bedroom furniture?
- What does your bedroom look like? Favorite thing in your bedroom?
- Any workout today? Plank time?
Shoot. I didn’t plank this morning. I’ll have to remember tonight–thanks for the reminder.
I won’t even try to give bedroom decorating a shot. I’m the worst decorator ever, and have no idea what I’m doing. I’ll leave that for other commenters. 
Im not very good either – that’s why I need all the help I can get!
How fun, looking for bedroom furniture. We got ours Classic Oak, but I think they’ve since closed. Maybe look at Pier 1. I love the paint color we have on the walls and ceiling, and the rich color of the furniture (cherry), it’s so relaxing. Didn’t workout today, not feeling my best, but better than yesterday. Hopefully tomorrow!
Im going to check Pier 1 – we have one really close! Hope you feel better!
I’m not sure where you’ve looked already- but when I shopped for living room furniture last summer, I had some luck at Ashely & The Room Place. I also love Dania, and some stuff at Ikea isn’t bad.
If you wanted to look online I really like Home Decorators and Ballard.
You can also have some luck at the Crate & Barrel outlet if you go on the right day, and there is a Restoration Hardware outlet in Kenosha that I’ve heard good things about.
I work in a similar industry and love to shop!
We did check Ashley and The Room Place - I liked a few things, but nothing I feel in love with. I’m so picky! I didn’t even know that Crate and Barrel had an outlet! I’m going to have to look into that – thanks!
I think I have a smoothie addiction. That looks delicious
Favorite places? Crate and Barrel, Ikea, and Pier 1.
Great stores – we’ll have to check them out!
Ive planked every day….I cannot get past 1:29….Okay I am putting this out there, I will hold plank for 1:30 today!!!! oh yes, it must be done
You’re doing great – you’ll get there!!

Good job!! And 4 seconds over!
I agree that bedroom was gorgeous! Pottery Barns has some beautiful stuff to pick from. Have fun shopping!
I’ll have to check Pottery Barn too – thanks
I love the upholstered headboards that are so popular now! My bedroom furniture is about 22 years old and very Victorian looking but my husband loves it. Ikea has some affordable furniture so does Crate and Barrel. Good luck!!
I need to go check out Ikea! I love the upholstered headboards too – just trying to find one I love that isn’t too expensive!
our furniture looks like we are in college..all mismatched..one day I want a new couch
I hate doing planking. Good luck on furniture hunting
Starting my planks tonight! I’m hoping to get to 3 mins by the end of the month. I’m looking forward to the challenge.
Awesome
