The weather was so great here yesterday. It got up to 68 degrees with very little wind and lots of sun. It really amazes me just how much the weather affects my moods. My friend, Christy and I, decided to take advantage of the warmth and her recently healed back and do some outdoor cardio. We decided to go to the park which has a mile and a half climb to the entrance. The work was great but the company was better! We always have a good conversation. Christy is a therapist so I am just waiting for her to figure out I’m mental, JK(: After our walk we sat on top of the hill and looked down over the town and watched the hawks circle overhead. It was very uplifting!!

Today will be leg day in the gym, yipee!! I know I’ve mentioned it before but several years ago I used to think that lifting as heavy as possible would give me the best body. I would work out with 10 45 plates, I think thats 500#’s or so, on the leg press. Now I’ve learned from experience that a lighter weght with a faster pace is better for me to get the burn that tells me I’m working the desired muscles. The leg press to me is good to use everyonce in a while but I think it is one that some use for pride reasons because you can push so much weight on it. I know not everyone shares the same opinion as me but I don’t want to be super muscular. I appreciate all types of physiques but I have decided that I prefer me with a tight, toned, curvy build. Some people seem to think their opinion is the only one; they see any opinion that is different as an indication that their opinion is being called "wrong". I’m not saying my opinion is RIGHT, just right for me and if you don’t happen to share that opinion…good for you. I want the freedom to make my own choices so I try to give others the freedom to have their own. I see peoples blogs all the time putting down others because of plastic surgery or not wanting to be a super muscular female or wanting to be one, to me that is just a person with low self esteem who can’t handle anyone’s opinion that is different than their own, because if it’s not the same, they must be saying I’m wrong. Wouldn’t it be boring if we all had to be the same?!?

Enough rambling for now! Enjoy your Monday!!
