As of now I have a 4-5 day split, shoulder-biceps, triceps-chest, back-abs, leg day. would i be screwing up if i add an extra day to legs? for ex: calves-quads one day and hams-glutes the next? of course keeping a min. of two days of rest every week? or is it best to do my legs on one day alone? i lift pretty heavy on leg day, it’s just that when i started seperating my arm days i started seeing awesome results and i want to try the same for legs…

So training is going well. The past few weeks have been amazing in the gym, mostly because I finally forced myseelf to put the new (and awesome) gym on post to good use. I’m not as self-concious as I used to be…just pull my hoodie up and turn up my headphones.Since I started eating a bit more (clean, of course), lifting heavier and dropping back on cardio, the fat is slowly dropping off and muscle is starting to show through….so I’m more than happy to add another day in the gym to my usual 4 day a week training (usually omitting mondays)…..this time taking my sweet damn time and at least a half hour in the steam room afterwards given that i don’t work tomorrow….can’t wait.

so i had a temporary lapse in my cardio program….make that a two and a half week break….the damn gym is under construction and the temp. gym has only 2 little fans to cover everyone…..they’re out of their damn mind…until i find the balls to go back there i’ll just hope that the tan i’ll be getting at the beach this weekend will cover the cellulite creeping up on my saddlebags…..

but in all fairness, i’m eating slightly less the make up for the fact that i’m not climbing 35 minutes of stairs in a sauna…

….p.s…..gig is hot;)

i just read that if i lift too heavy when i bench press that my implants will more than likely shift…..anyone else heard this?

So things are calming down after the death of my grampa….I’ve been seeing friends and actually spending more time with them than at home lately. I’ve also been seeing this guy who decided he wants to start lifting with me, which is awesome because I could really use the support. I’ve also started bringing my own meals over to his house because otherwise I would be pigging out on pringles and chocolate, given that was all he would keep in his cabinets. He also has dumbbells that are twice as heavy as what I used at home, so I’m planning on using those until I can afford another set of my own.

More good news is that I’m feeling my way through finding some sort of balance between moving ahead in life and taking care of myself. It’s a slow process but the more I realize how far I’ve come from where I was 17 months ago, the more I want to live a good life and not let anything get in my way.

My best friend has asked me to help her train for the summer. I’m really nervous about that because though I’m taking online courses soon for my training certification, I don’t have enough confidence in myself to give someone else advice. I want to help her, and I’m putting together a begginners plan for her today, I hope I can make this as enjoyable and fulfilling for her as it is for me and that she doesn’t give up. Like I said, she’s my best friend and I want her to be healthy and strong, just wish me luck.

I’ll be back soon….hope everyone had a good weekend

so the situation is the same…i spent all day yesterday either with my  mother or locked in my room….and i’m embarassed to tell you how many cigarettes i smoked…on top of that i did manage to get an upper body/abs workout in there…though i don’t think i ate enough during the day because i woke up (after taking melatonin) anhour after i went to bed with this crazy anxiety and the urge to just eat something….now i’m bloated and i couldn’t really care less to be honest….it’s keeping my mind off things, though i don’t expect any of this to hit me until tomorrow’s funeral, i’m just trying to stay busy.

anyhow, i’m completely out of protein powder and shakes are my (and i beleive everyone else’s) way to get around having to put any thought into a meal…i have no way to get any until thursday…..i DO however have a backup powder, which tastes like complete ass….anyone know how i can make it taste better???? that is, without adding chocolate syrup like my ex husband would do…….

So perhaps I’m being selfish,  but my grandfather just passed away this morning, and the plan is that nobody in the family is going to work until after the funeral on Wed. Which leaves me two days of cardio this week….I don’t mind this at all given the situation, but I DO have a photoshoot coming up this weekend and I would like to kick things up a notch….should I just put more effort into my lifting? Do some extra cardio Thurs and Fri? I  need help because this is the only thing keeping me from falling apart in this trying time here…

i still have the flu….i did get a kick ass full body workout yesterday, so i’m letting myself relax today, this bug is killing me, especially after working all day ahhhhh(that’s me screaming in misery)

I just got such a great workout…my arms are still shaking! This is the first time since I left for vacation that I’ve had such a good lifting session, and I feel great. The only problem is that I’m still fighting off the flu, so my appetite is completely gone thanks to lots of nausea. I’m forcing down a yummy protein shake as we speak, so I think I’ll be ok. Hope everyone is going well, I look forward to hearing from some of you.
