I went to a new gym today, and checked it out for about an hour.

I’ve never done Crossfit, but i’ve done the high intensity circuit type training before, and I think once i’m fully recovered i’m going to do it! I’ll probably only do it every other day, but I want to still lift and lifting weights is a passion of mine.

I think it will be good cardio, and also help to add alot more lean muscle to my body which is something I need. I need to bring down my legs and tighten my glutes big time!

I can’t wait to get over this training slump due to recovering. I really want to bring a much leaner toned package to my next show. I pray that the judges will see the improvements I have in store for them!

 Happy training to all! Hope all is well with my fellow bodyspacers!

I’ve spent the last two weeks feeling down about my newest obstacles. I practically woke up on the Monday after my show with pain in my wrist. I’ve been dealing with what I thought were just shin splints along the anterior portion of my left and right legs along my shins.

 So i went to the orthopedic docs at the hospital I work at and was told I have tendonitis in my left wrist and both of my legs. Turns out after some x-rays were done that I have stress fractures instead of what I thought were shin splints. Due to high impact activites. Flash backs of running 8 miles a day on top of a crap load of cardio ran through my head as he told me this.One of my bones in my left leg is inflammed as well! Can you believe that? ugh. This was NOT what I wanted to hear b/c I was in the midst of getting ready for jr. nationals in SC. I cried for almost 3 days.

 It meant alot to me to compete in SC, hence the emotional reaction. But I’m ok I suppose, about it now. I’ve been training for quite some time, and I really haven’t had any true down time per say. SO I’m just accepting it for what it is, and am really looking forward to competing again whenever that is. lol. Hopefully I’ll be cleared to work out soon…I’m praying for another week or two? They said it could be months for the stress fractures, but I hope other wise. Irregardless, I can still supplement cardio for swimming right?

 I really really really look forward to getting back in the gym so I can present a much leaner package at my next show! So please, keep me in your prayers for a speedy recovery and extra motivation!

Thanks guys!
