If my posting becomes monotonous then I am doing great!  worked out last night but missed my cardio, I ran out of time.  But I did upper body and ate good.  Today I am going lower body and I am going to do light cardio after.  My diet today is :

Oatmeal with protein for breakfast, water and a cup of coffee, snack was pastashios, lunch was chicken, spinach, mushrooms, a small amount of sunflower seeds, with balsamic vinegar and EVOO…snack is gonna be a protein bar then sweet potatoes before I leave work because dinner wont be until 6…protein shake after workout and hopefully talipia for dinner.(If I can talk my best friend into putting it in the oven while we go for our 3 mile run) .  She is the best…I am sure she will.

I am making good progess!  Cardio is definitely increasing and weights are gonna be going up!  I love muscle memory! 

I took a 5 month break from August to regroup and figure out what I wanted to do.  I did not work out too much for those months.  I started my training diet last week and finally started working out yesterday.  I know I am now back for good.  I started some new supplements and took my measurements.  I should see progress a lot sooner this time because when I started my journey over a year ago I was not taking anything not even vitamins and my cardio was sporadic.  I am stocked now.  I am trying out a full body workout that I did last year along with cardio.  My goal is to work out 3 - 4 times a week following my full body work out  3 days and then on the 4th day doing a concentration day of a bodypart of my choice.  I also am putting an order in for the suspension training straps.  I really liked these when I was training.  So I might change my training when those come.  My goal is also to get up and do cardio in the am.  I did this today and I felt as though I could run a marathon it makes such a difference.  I just need to get my ass out of bed.  I plan on rewarding myself for every morning I get up and do this too motivate.  I will put a certain amount of money aside every time and then buy myself something when I reach a month.  after a month i should be able to continue since it takes that long to create a habit!  haha

Well, I thought I would get a lot done today, but I have spent my Sunday in front of the computer.  I opened up a Myspace account and "pimped it out"  haha… I never got a run or a workout in!  I hate to admit it, but I am looking forward to the start of school soI can get back into old routines. It was a beautiful day for a run too…just cool enough to push harder than normal and I blew it!  Maybe tomorrow will be the same and I can try again…

I’m back with my trainer!  I worked out with her Monday and will continue twice a week until the fundage runs out.   I don’t plan on doing any competitions though…only look like I do.  I am splitting up me workouts to 4 days a week day 1 upper day 2 lower then day off and then day 1 and day 2 and then weekend…I have never done this type before, so we will see how it goes.

Well it has been awhile since I have typed.  I am working out every day or maybe I skip  a day here and there.  I do one body part a day.  I am working out in my basement currently and I hate it.  I just don’t feel I have the same drive as I do in the gym.   Anyone struggle  with this?  I also can only do all free weights  and have a pulley system.  I am finally figured out my routines except quads.  If anyone has a good freeweight quad routine I would love if you can share it.  My shoulder is getting a lot better.  I am now taking a Shaklee joint health supplement and I swear it is rebuilding the cartilidge even though dr’s say it is impossible…I have actually switched to all Shaklee supplements and I have never felt better.  My diet has been better, but I am aware of what I am eating and my weight is staying the same.  I am also still running a lot.  I run at least 3 miles 3-4 times a week and I am trying to increase to a 10k by Labor Day.  I don’t see this being too hard.  I am really looking forward to it.  I also have a few training sessions left with my trainer from  June I am going to use up the next couple weeks.

I am excited for today…we look forward to this run every year over the bridges of cleveland…I hope the rain stays away until after the race!!  I will not place,  but it is a great run to do!

MRI didn’t show anything and my shoulder is not hurting as bad as it was 3 months ago.  I think it is healing.  I did pull ups today and it hurt for a little bit only.  I am also sleeping better.  I went running today and am going to rework my workout exercises tonight…

So I finally went tot he dr today…I was diagnosed with a  labral tear…anyone have this?  I could repair it with surgery that would take months to heal or I can live through it and come up with a different shoulder workout that dowan’t involve military presses and any straight up lifting above my head…  looking for help on this one everyone!!!PLEASE!!  My shoulders are starting to shrink…

On a lighter note I ran 5 miles the other day and I have never done that before!

I have been using my gym membership but not working out 5 days a week.  I combine my workouts though so I am doing all body parts.  I had a friend who is a trainer tell me I need to work on my shoulders, but since my left arm is still hurt I can’t really focus on this.  I have a dr appointment monday so I will find out more next week.  I have been slacking on my cardio a bit and I have noticed around my mis section not  as lean as I was a month ago.  I know the more I continue to push myself the more I will do.  This is excellent for me so far because I have never been motivated to workout on my own and so far I am doing it!  I will start posting my workouts soon.  I need to get a little more organized.
