It was time to switch up the routine…so I wandered around my gym and checked out a few machines I’ve been ignoring.  The gym seems to be going through a major reorganization and they’ve moved a lot of the equipment around, so this was the best time to try a few new ones out. 

I’ve been trying to find a machine that I’m comfortable with that works the abs…..because….I HATE wallowing around on the floor!!  I continued my little march around the gym when I stumbled upon what will be my new best friend!!  What is it called?….The Ultimate Ab Machine….of course! 

How does it work?  Sit in the seat …. slip your feet behind the little padded bar ….. set the weight where you want it to be, then reach up to the two handles on each side of your head.  Pull down on the handles and crunch up with your knees.  Woo Hoo….feel the burn baby!!  If I don’t have a flatter stomach with this little puppy then I honestly don’t know what else to do…

"We’re having a heat wave….having a heat wave…"

Finally….!! My weekend has already started. 

Friday:  a trip for accupuncture.  I know that doesn’t sound promising, but I feel great and ready to have some good workouts and weekend.

Saturday:  In the morning I’ll be up bright and early to power cycle, weights….and then a glorious day in the sun!  I have so much I want to do in my yard that I’ll be busy for a couple of days.

Sunday:  Only a quick run….another day outside…and maybe a nice bike ride.  The evening will be hardcore abs before bedtime…:)

The big news is that I’m very pleased with my diet.  I’ve managed to stay on a very clean eating regime the last few days. Maybe a few too many almonds…but hey….a girls gotta have fun…;)  I still never feel hungry but am sticking to 5-6 small snack/meals/protein shakes. The only time I honestly feel hungry is first thing in the morning…after that it’s just a matter of reminding myself to eat at certain times. We’ll see how things go over the next couple of weeks and make a few adjustments when needed.

Have a great weekend everyone….summer is HERE…

In recent days I have really struggled with my diet. I could blame it on a multitude of things, but I’m trying to take responsibility for my actions and basically kick my ass back into gear.  Yes, I had a cheat day on the weekend, I LOVE chicken enchiladas….mmm…mmm…mmm.  Chips and salsa….I was a good girl and only drank water!…  

My problem the last couple of days has been a bit of fatigue..my willpower just breaks down. I’ve gone for weeks without drinking a Pepsi and what did I do? Yep, you guessed it…I headed straight for the vending machine to get my caffeine fix. I get totally disgusted with myself when I do this, ugh..~~:9

What I would give for a chef to cook all my meals for me!  It’s just me…dreaming.   My usual routine is to eat out at lunch time, (I just have to get away from my office for a bit) but I’m thinking I need to change my routine and start packing a lunch for awhile.  I eat pretty clean at these restaurants, but could probably do a lot better if I focus on a bag lunch for awhile.  As tired as I’ve been…maybe I should just take a nap a lunch time instead.

Let me say…right now!!  My team rocks!! Our season looks like it’s going to be so much fun.  We just won our 6th straight game this evening…..Our stats are 6-0….woo hoo!! 

We had heavy rains this morning but the field dried out enough to play this evening….the sun even came out!  As long as we can stay injury free I think we’ve got a good chance of an excellent season. 

This woman can still hit a ball and had about 10 RBI’s today….not bad, eh?
