Happy day after Halloween!  How’s your sugar headache?  Hopefully you were able to refrain from too much candy.  We only had two, yes two, trick-or-treaters this year so we have way too much sweet stuff sitting around the house.   We actually just threw away some candy from last year!  I guess my sweet tooth can’t  be that bad if candy has lasted the entire year without getting eaten.

This week I have changed up my normal full body workouts to muscle specific.  I really wanted to focus on the muscle groups because I feel like I have been a little lazy at the gym lately.  My favorite workout was this leg workout.  It definitely challenged me and left me a little sore.  You know it was a good leg workout when sitting on the toilet is a struggle!  Enjoy you workout!
