Strength training…with love

Who needs chocolates? Who needs flowers? Who even needs Tiffany’s*? Not me, not when I’ve got the two very best loves of my life, every day of my life … yep, I’m all romantic like that 😉

However, that Coach NZ, she’s all hardcore. No days off for Valentine’s Day, oh no, today we were back at it with strength training, but she did note it was strength training with love day!

• 2 p.m. BG before: 6.4
• Temp. basal: none
• 3 sets 12 lunges
• 3 sets squats
• 3 sets calf raises

Laughing squats

We do pushups together in this family.

And when mama needs a little added encouragement with her pushups, the boy is right there.

“Look Mama, I can do the side planks too!”

And a post-workout, Valentine’s reward by way of America’s Test Kitchen recipe for chewy brownies = yu-um!!!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!

* Don’t get me wrong, Tiffany’s is always nice :D*
