Happy weekend! Happy October! (<—wow, seriously?!?) How’s everyone doing today?
I don’t know about you, but I zonked out on the couch last night before 10:00 even hit. Between just being plain tired and the two beers I had with dinner, I was downright exhausted.
Luckily, that meant early to bed = early to rise, so I got a nice early head start on today’s workout. Today brought me to Day 13 of the challenge, which included the Xtreme Cardio Kickboxing + Recovery Upper Body. I really love when the workouts combine the cardio with the weights afterward. It’s the perfect formula for a sweaty mess…mwahaha.
During my workout, I also had an audience…
I think he likes to keep an eye on me to make sure I don’t end up dropping any weights on my face or something. Either way, he’s the only one who gets to be in the living room during my workouts. I always make Jay stay in another room until I finish; otherwise, I just feel like a big tool the entire time I’m punching/kicking/panting/etc.
Post workout, it was breakfast time, and today I went the quick and easy route: cereal + coffee.
Today’s cereal combo was complete with Quaker Oatmeal Squares, Tj’s Multigrain O’s, Erewhon Rice Twice, banana slices, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. It never fails!
And as a side note, I thought I’d also give you guys a quick update on the candy corn. Remember when I first posted about it? Well I told you that I’d let ya’ll know when the bag was finished…we’re getting close! 
Jay and I have a few things on the agenda today, so it’s time to get movin’. Hope everyone’s weekend is off to a great start!
Questions for the Morning:
How do you feel about people other people being around you while you work out (either at home or at the gym)?
How long would a bag of candy corn last in your home?

I’m the same way… I’m not a fan of people watching me workout – especially certain kinds of workouts. If I’m just lifting weights or running I don’t mind, but kickboxing or circuit training or Zumba-ish type workouts, I’d rather be hidden.
I also kick my husband out of the living room when I’m doing my workouts!

At the gym, I don’t care, because everyone else is working out, too. At home, unless I’m doing a workout game thingy on the Wii (like boxing, tennis, or dancing), I don’t like anyone to watch.
Before I started Weight Watchers, a bag of candy corn would probably have made it 2, maybe 3 days. Now, I’d say a week, maybe 2, depending on the kids (they get treats for being extra good)
Last weekend, I was taking a Zumba class at our gym, and for the brief moment that my husband peeked in on me, I got so shy and embarrassed! I don’t know why I don’t mind when complete strangers see me dancing around like a food, but when the person who knows me best and loves me most watched me, different story. So strange. And believe me, he’s seen me do completely goofy stuff before!
I couldn’t bring myself to buy a bag of candy corn this year… which is a testament to how much I love it and can mow through a bag like it’s the lawn.
“food”= FOOL. Oops.
Obviously I have “food” on the brain.
that’s so funny because i am the exact same way with Matt when i work out. he is not allowed in the room. haha. i again feel a little silly punching and kicking around. he use to do a video with me and it always made me laugh because i thought he looked so silly. another reason why i guess i always had him leave!
my dog kinda gives me weird looks too though. <3

A few days ago I posted about my first candy corn purchase of the season. Will (my boyfriend) literally had to hide the bag from me!

Candy corn is definitely a weakness of mine in the Fall. I have a cute pumpkin bowl that I keep filled with it- although it doesn’t stay full very long
Maria@La_Piattini recently posted..September Goals Update
Well when I go to the gym, there is obviously an audience so I just have to deal with that..but at home is when I can really go to town and not care about how I look.
I workout in the basement of my dad’s house now but I do remember when I had a roommate it would be super awkward because she would come into the living room where I was working out and start to talk to me…and even sit down and read a magazine in the room or something…really?? So after that happening a couple of times I made sure to workout when she was at work haha.
Let me look like a goof doing cardio dance by myself please!
Also, you gotta get the candy corn with the pumpkins! For some reason the pumpkins taste better…
I love candy corn! I am not sure how long a bag would last, I would probably grab a handful every time I passed! If I am trying a new workout for the first time I don’t really like people watching me. But I feel like people around a gytm is good motivation to push yourself harder!

Candy corn (especially mellocremes) don’t stand a chance in our house! If I don’t have Dave hide the bag right away, then it’s all downhill from there! Definitely my all time favorite candy
…. AUTUMN MIX CANDY CORN has somehow found its way into my heart, my home, and my belly. And you know it’s only the beginning of a sugar-filled October
I love it! Finish off that candy corn with a smile 
and be proud that your bag lasted longer than the 48 hours mine did.

We have 2 things in common: #1- I fell asleep on the couch at 9:30 last night..and woke up to my fiance making fun of me for going to sleep earlier on the weekend than during the week:/ #2- I refuse to work out in front of my fiance, especially when I do Tracy Anderson’s dance cardio…I only do that workout when he is out of the house haha:)
I totally agree that no one can watch when I do workout videos. I feel like the biggest tool ever. I’m fine with people being around at the gym though!
Candy corn wouldn’t last very long at my house. I love it mixed with peanuts for a salty/sweet combo!!
Abby @ Abz ‘n’ Oats recently posted..September Goal Check In
I honestly prefer to be by myself when I work out. Especially when I run. One of my anniversary gifts to my husband this summer was going on a 5 mile run together. It was the first time I had ever run with anyone other than myself. I enjoyed it much more than I expected, but still prefer to run alone.

candy corn wud not last at all at my house! its soo good!
i feel strange when people watch me exercise but when animals do i dont mind!!
Lizzie recently posted..awesome TUNES (:
first of all, i love your fall decorations!! so festive. and bag of candy corn would probably last less than 48 hours in my apartment (i have minimal will power)…
also, i try not to feel self-conscious if i have an audience watching me work out, but while i’m dancing i’m kind of used to having people peer into the windows during class. sometimes it motivates me! have a great weekend

I like my space when I’m working out. If i’m taking a fitness class it doesn’t bother me unless you are up my butt with a bunch of space in other areas. Or if someone takes the treadmill right next to me when there are so many more open! Other than that, it’s not something I can really avoid!
If I work out at home I don’t like my hubby to be around but I don’t mind having the kids around me since they are still young. In the gym it doesn’t bother me cause I put my ipod on and get into workout mode. As for those candies, in my house hubby would sit down and eat the bag in one serving but I don’t like them so that’s ok with me.
I don’t mind people being around me if they are working out too..like at the gym. But if my boyfriend is just around watching I’m not a big fan!
I don’t mind people being around me, as long as they aren’t just standing there staring or anything
I cannot believe its October already! Where did September go?! It is my favorite month too!
I am not a candy corn fan so it might last awhile around here, I am still trying to get through the Costco sized bag of Jelly Belly I got for Easter.
Lindsey recently posted..Foodie Friday!
I’m the same. I like to blend in at the gym. At home, unless you’re working out with me, I’d rather be on my own.
I love BodyRock workouts but don’t think I could do those at the gym as I’m sure it would draw attention when people try figuring what I’m doing with the different move and interval timer, etc. Have a great weekend, Courtney!
i hate having people watch me work out! it makes me feel so weird. i do not like it at all. haha I don’t blame you for having him stay in a different room. :p

Ahhh I hate having people watch me work out! I always feel like such a goof doing workout videos!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake recently posted..My Favorites
I really don’t mind anyone watching me … except if I do Yoga … I do not want anyone around mostly because it is my time … I also like running alone … time to think and really to choose the mood on every run.
As for the candy corn … the bag would last months … I don’t think I have ever tried one … (I am sorry) … it was just a candy we did not grow up with … however if you give me a BAG of halloween packaged MILK DUDS … well, that would be another story … have to hide them from myself. I could honestly eat them all in one day.
Happy weekend!

Candy does not last long in my household. I literally can down an entire package of sour patch kids in a day!

sad to admit this, but a bag of candy corn didn’t even last a night in my apartment this week…between my 4 roommates + hungry boyfriends, that poor bag didn’t even stand a chance! it was the candy corn that had the pumpkins in it too so it was extra tempting
When I’m working out at home, it’s awkward to have other people in the room…but of course it’s not a big of a deal at the gym.
Mary @ Bites and Bliss recently posted..October 5
I’m the same with workout DVDs…no one is allowed in the room during! Candy corn would last forever at our place…we’re more of a chocolate family
Khushboo recently posted..Week 1 recap
I don’t mind working out with others around at the gym etc but when it comes to home workouts, especially DVDs, I get weirded out. I usually even close the blinds in case someone comes to the door! Talk about paranoid!
I absolutely love candy corn…I would give a bag about 4 days in my house!!
Amanda @ Let Me Be Whats Underneath recently posted..Holding grudges?
I hate that feeling that someone is watching me work out! I’m a lot more comfortable at the gym than I used to be (I’ve quit caring what other people think!), but whenever I’m working out in the living room no one can look! haha

When I do a quick strength training workout at home it’s usually in our main living are where my bf is watching tv. I don’t really care with him being there, but sometimes he can be distracting…like by trying to “coach” me or making farting noises while I do square haha.
I. Love. Candy. Corn. It wold last maybe a week
