brand spankin’ new!

July 31, 2011

I feel like a proud new mama.

And it has nothing to do with a baby – believe me.

For the past few months, I have been working with Ryan @ No More Bacon on a redesign for Clean Eating Chelsey. And when I say I have been working with him, I mean he’s done all the work. Ryan was the brains behind the new look, and I could not be more thrilled with the outcome! He was so easy to work with and very quick in getting things done – I definitely recommend him for any of your blog related needs! Thanks again Ryan!

Everyone’s subscriptions and Google readers should have been updated automatically, but if you’re still having trouble seeing the new site, go ahead and update your readers of click on the RSS feed tab (the orange one underneath my picture) to see the new place!

Don’t even ask me why I am putting up pictures of lemons in this post. I just felt like they look refreshing.

And since I am so excited, my endorphins are rising even though it’s supposed to be a rest day today. Instead of actually going out and ruining my rest day, I figured I could share with you the workouts I have done in the last week. Ready?

Sunday: “I Love Cupcakes Circuit” (only 2 times, not three – that girl is intense)

Monday: 4 mile run

Tuesday: Full body weight workout

>Wednesday: 3 mile run

Thursday: 15 minutes Stairmaster and lower body heavy weights

Friday: 3 mile run (with Charlie!) and a BodyRock TV workout

Saturday: 75 minute Hot Vinyasa class (aka: the best class of my life – I left soaking wet)

Sunday: Rest

My workouts this week were a little more intense as for the past two previous weeks I wasn’t really working out much due to my two trips. It felt good to get back in the swing of things!

Unless my rest day rubs off on me, you’ll have a fun new recipe coming your way tonight!

Question: What is the hardest workout you’ve done in the last week?

Looks great Chelsey :)

I did a 5k run yesterday - I started running 2 weeks ago and that was my longest yet. Tough!

Love the new look!!!!! Very chic. :) On Thursday night I did 10 minutes of jumping rope (different variations, like straddles and slaloms, etc.) then a circuit like this: 10 clapping push ups, 10 arm raise push ups, 90 second plank, 45 second side planks on both sides, 32 crescent kicks, alternating legs, 32 horse pushes, alternating legs, 32 lunge jumps, and 8 front,side,out kicks on each leg. *Repeat once.* Can’t wait for the recipe tonight!!! :)

The new site looks amazing!! I’m jealous. Really.

I went on a 6 mile run yesterday and it was not my easiest. I expected to feel wiped out all day, but I actually felt fine.
