PV Body Review and KOMBUCHA!

FINALS. ARE. OVER. Still a few loose ends to wrap up here with my clients before school is officially over for the semester, but the worst is done. Half way done with law school. Surreal. I'm so incredibly grateful over the past months to have a found a wonderful balance where I have not let school take over my life. I have continued to take care of myself first and find ways to maintain mental and physical stability. It feels good to end the semester knowing that, even if I didn't achieve some desired level of academic "success," my semester was a successful one. I walked home from my last final yesterday, jamming out to this, and found my first PV Body order sitting on my doorstep! If you're not familiar with PV Body, check out my previous post.

Here's what I got! Sorry for some poor picture quality here - I was in a rush to get to the gym!

THUMBHOLES ARE MY FAVORITE!!

SO CUTE. All the stuff I got is really high quality. I wore my new shirt to lift today, and I can say it is by far the best workout shirt I've ever owned (I even like it better than my Under Armour!). 

After going to bed early last night and having no alarm set this morning, I awoke refreshed around 8:00am. I walked into my kitchen to find this!

VITAMIX!!!

My hubby had woken up at 3:00am to get it out and put a bow on it to surprise me this morning. It's an early Christmas presents from my in-laws - how fantastic! I have so many plans to make mad delicious creations with this thing. Just wait and see. [For those of you who don't know what a Vitamix is, it's basically the best high powered blender on the market that can turn even the toughest foods, e.g. kale, into pure juice.]

I felt awesome at my workout this morning after taking the last 2 days off because of exams. My body needed the rest and I kicked ASS in the gym. I was finally able to do stiff leg deadlifts again after 2 weeks off, and my hamstring is feeling good. I'm still planning on taking my week off of lifting entirely (or at least 3-5 days) while I do my juice fast, in order to get my body back to 100%. 

After my workout, I refueled with my usual powerbowl...

....and some KOMBUCHA! Can you believe? This was my first time EVER having Kombucha, but certainly not the last. I'm actually pretty upset at this point that no one ever told me how delicious it is. Check out the health benefits here. 

It was the perfect way to rehydrate and get something a little sweet after my lunch. Try it! 

Tomorrow will be my last personal training session, so I'll be redoing all my measurements, body fat percentage, etc. with my trainer. I'm nervous but excited! I'll see how vulnerable I'm feeling, and maybe let you all in on the good (or bad...) news. 

Cheers,
