so apparently, just because i decided that its spring…doesnt mean that mother nature agrees! that damn bitch made it snow   well this morning i braved the horrible weather and went to the gym anyway…i’m so glad that i did! i had all the weights to myself…the other 4 people there were doing cardio i felt much better this week, than i did last week. my hip feels awesome and i was able to hit legs heavy and hard…and i was feeling it for a few days! my foreams have still been a little bothersome but it wasnt so bad…well, at least not bad enough to slow me down!

a few weeks ago, i felt that i kinda hit a plateau so i thought i’d try increasing my calories in hopes of jumpstarting my metabolism. i figured i may have been undereating, but now i’ve gained a few pounds. to be honest, i havent weighed myself but i can tell just by looking in the mirror. i’m not getting too crazy about it though…hey, its still winter so i’m all bundled up i’m hoping that i just put on a little muscle so when i do cut my calories again, i’ll look even better!

so not only did i get a great workout at the gym, but when i came home i took brody out to play in the snow! wow…that was intense! who knew chasing after my dog in the snow would kick my ass…now that was HIIT! i was exhaused

stay warm…spring is right around the corner!

hey all! i hope everyone had a great valentines day…i hope you gave lots and received lots of love training wise i had a kinda rough week. my left hip has been bothering me for a few days…i dont know what i did to it, i just woke up one morning and it hurt. of course, considering my high pain tolerance i worked out right through the pain…maybe im a badass or just an idiot i just went light with my legs…still hit them just not very heavy. the good news is, i woke up today and it felt great! so i cant wait to hit my legs heavy and hard!!!! so while my hips feelin good…my forearms are killing me!!! they were a little tight all week but no biggie…until today. i went to the gym for back and bis, while training my back, my forearms bothering me but when i went to hit bis…the pain was horrible!!! i actually had to ease up on my training, it hurt so bad! i cant really describe the feeling, its not DOMS, its more of a pain than a soreness…sorness good, pain bad! tomarrow is my rest day, so hopefully that will help.

on a much brighter note…spring has offically started (for me anyway)! pitchers and catchers have started spring training and i’m getting ready for an exciting 2008 phillies season! i have to admit…i’ve been obsessed with the whole clemens steroid drama. i was glued to the hearings and espn…i cant help it, kinda like a car accident. i think clemens is lying his ass off and he looked like a fool but having said that i’m ready to move on and get the focus back on the field. so, hopefully the only baseball news i hear is trades, injuries, rotations and line-ups. well, heres to the start of spring…yippee….its FINALLY here  

i feel fabulous…oh Superpump250, where have you been all my life??? i have read so much about it but i never thought i really need it. well, after seeing SOOOO much positive feedback…i decided i would give it a try! OMFG…I LOVE IT!!!! i have had the most amazing workouts EVER!!! i’ve increased weight and reps…are ya feeling my excitement!!! wow—i dont even know how i managed without it. i always look forward going to the gym but now i countdown the minutes until i get to go i just love it and i’m so excited to see the progress i will make with it!!! so, if anyone isnt sure if they should try it or not…i say do it! i’m all about the fruit punch…maybe its because i havent had fruit punch since i was like 10, but damn…its delicious!!!

my life is finally back to normal…woo hoo! my brother came up on sunday and picked his doggy up, so my house is finally calm again. my kitty can walk around the house again…its nice not to see him sitting on the fridge all day! now, i can give my litle angel the undivided attention he is used to today we danced and sang to johnny cash…it felt good to not have any fighting or jealously. yes, i sing and dance with my dog…i’m a dork but i love him
