Either my muscles were really tired or the routine was harder because I am WIPED OUT!!  I worked chest/shoulders/tris today and they are feeling it…which is a good thing   Shoulder day always gives me a boost.  I watch myself in the mirror and to see the muscles in my shoulders that I have built up always makes me feel good.  I love my upper body so it’s great to see some of my work paying off.  I also flexed my legs in the mirror and I must say…they look pretty good.  I can see a big chunk of my quads and some of my hamstring.  The fat in my inner thigh is barely a pinch.  My calves are all muscle but they have been and that’s due to running.  I am very happy with the progress I am making and want to keep heading in the right direction.  My eating has been much better and more consistent.  I’m loving my vegetarian diet and it has done wonders for my belly.

There has been a call for help with the Junior High Cross Country team and my name is being passed on!  I’m super excited.  I would LOVE to get involved with the program and especially with the younger kids so proper techniques can be taught earlier.  Cross your fingers for me

I’m picking Jillian Michaels new book up at the library today after work.    She has a body that I covet so I’m interested to read what she says.  She has said she eats 2000 cals a day and only works out 2-3 days in the gym.  She HATES working out but does it for the benefits LOL.  She doesn’t like running but totes it as the best cardio for everyone.  It will be an interesting book.  It’s her new one on hormones and your metabolism.
