Made it to the gym by 10:30AM….not due to any fault of my own…had a busy weekend at work and I was up at 6AM keying in dictation from my cases! Was hoping to be done by 8AM, but had more than I thought.
Once I got to the gym, to my surprised it was unusually crowded. In fact too crowded for a Monday morning….well, looks like the New Years’ Resolution crowd has arrived. I wish them the best of luck….but I sure will be glad when they get out of my way!!

I had to play catch-up today due to missing yesterday! It wasn’t a total lost of a day….I painted for 4 hrs. which I realized to be a challenging workout in itself….physically and mentally!!!! Talk about being patient and staying in the lines…….and my shoulder was killing me by the time I was finished due to all the rolling!!!!
Here’s today’s workout…..felt pretty good. I’m not lifting super heavy…keeping it at reps of 12. So I really have to go nice and slow and hold the contraction to get a good burn!

Today’s workout was short and sweet! My mood was kind of blah (I’ll contribute that too all that carbs I ate today and of course mother nature!)….I’m convinced that my up/down moods have everything to do w/ my period!! Anywho, just have to be proactive and deal w/ it.

I dunno what’s wrong w/ me!! All day I was looking forward to my leg workout…then I get to the gym and it’s like pulling teeth. I’m just dragging. WTF…..i tell you, I think I need to see my gyno doc…my moods seem to be all over the place and it just doesn’t make any sense to me!!! Maybe I have PMS or something…..this has been the hardest thing for me!! I don’t remember it being this hard in the past!! I managed to get it done!!! In the end, that’s all that really matters. I just miss the enjoyment of lifting. This up and down crap is getting on my nerves….one day I’m on the top of the world the next day it takes all I got not to walk out of the gym.
Stiff Legs 4×25
