Sweat?!? Why, yes! Thank You!
Random Blog…from my random mind!
So… I was at the gym the other day, doing my "arm day". I always warm up with some cardio before I begin my lifting… and when I exercise… I do this thing called "sweating" I mean… I dunno… most human bodies do it when being pushed into a fat-loss or cardiovascular state… SOOO call me crazy, but I rather enjoy the feeling of a little sweat bead trickling down the middle of my back. Means Im working, dammit!
Well… as I was in the weight room working these extreme guns that I have :0) a couple of young girls looked at me in disgust and were talking amongst themselves, and I assumed it was obviously about me. Now I had my headphones on, so I paused the music to see if I could hear what they were saying. And they were pretty much saying I had "arms like a man" and "why would you want to look like that?" and "Lookhow sweaty she is, its all down her back, like totally ew!!!" So I did what any hot tempered Italian girl would do… I took off my earphones, looked directly at both of them, and said "Ummmm… I can hear you. Im right here. Now do you have something you would like to ask me??? Like how to put some gorgeous muscle on your very non-muscular bodies?" **pause, them just looking at me in shock** "No??? Didn’t really think so, so thanks for not talking about me. Have a good day" They just kind of looked at eachother and at me and muttered a sorry and left quickly. I guess im pretty bad-ass. hahaha!
So in my quest for ripped up abs, I revamped my entire workout regimen, and i have to say I am definitely reaping the benefits. My legs are looking better, my arms are developing nicely, my butt is taken on a new life (being italian, its always been my seller… but now it just gets so many more stares! hahaha!), my abs are definitey coming in (slowly but surely) and I have hardly ANY cellulite, which used to be a major problem for me seeing i weighed almost 180pds!
My new favorite workout day, is "back day". I see results very quickly on my upper body (usually, and sans the gut, lol) and I have just gotten really strong very quickly. Im in the middle of loosing fat so I can see whats underneath all of this, and what REALLY needs to be worked on. "Cause the muscle is here, baby! Now I just need to show it!" HAHA!
Well, thats enough of my very ADD rant and rave.
Have a Good Day And Train Hard!

"Totally ew"?? LOL! I think I could not have helped but say the same! Your pictures are great but I was wanting to see your man arms. LOL! (or at least what they thought were man arms…) Keep it up!

I see pods of girls like that from time to time in the gym. Just… I don’t know? They kind of chat it up and sometimes sit at a machine and lazily work through some sets (never, ever freeweights though - don’t want to get huge!).
They’re usually young, so their ramped up metabolism takes care of the calories - for now.
