Shannon’s More Fire BodyBlog

yesterday morning i got p and thought i heard rain drops, nah, couldn’t be, so i started to get dressed. thought i heard some more rain, so i looked out the window, well what? sprinkles? by the time i got from the window to the doors, it was POURING!! so the walk was cancelled for yesterday morning. i didn’t sleep well the night before, so i swiftly, and rather promptly jumped back in bed. hit the gym later to do some abs and calves, had a good day.

In this life, we sometimes have ups and downs….many thanks to the ups, and they say that the downs are there, and if they don’t kill you, can only make you stronger. Kinda like being in the gym. Ms Rn- many thanks. I am headed off to the gym now, back and shoulders, been doing some major cleaning, so i am a bit sweaty already, maybe i should jump in the shower before i go….so i can get hot and sweaty all over again…lolbut this afternoon has been a Robert Nesta Marley afternoon, been pumping the tunes- irie!!! lol I’m out, will post more later- peace and love- thanks Ms Rn.

In the process of starting and writing this blog, there have been people that have come and gone. I really hope that it simply means that they are not online that much and that everything is going well in their lives. I know that life can get rough at times, but keep going, you may be wounded, but time will heal, the road may get lonely, you may be shaken, but still stand, weary, but press on, long nights- many tears; dark days, no sun in teh sky? Still you must rise- yolanda adams. (the song is playing on the radio as i type ) So to all those you may once have been online,I hope that all is well, just said a little prayer for you-Ms Rn, thanks for being there, keep doing your thing baby!!

I made a post just now and thought I had the link there, but apparently I didn’t do something right- so here is the video :

Here in Bermuda, the Night of Champions show, as it is known as, is soon approaching. The level of performance and execution has been taken up  to the next level, body fat is dropping, and so are jaws. My big brother- past trainer- Carmichael Bryan, is training 11 people for the show. Yeah, yu read it right- 11!! (well this is at the time of the typing of this piece…lol ) They all happen to be female, and in fact, without his expertise, the show would not be worth going to as his clients are the bulk of te show. The show here isn’t that big as you may have figured out. But…nonetheless, Carmichael is the best, the trainer REALLY knows his stuff man. Remember to check his site- www.carmichaelbryan.com. In the meantime, check the clip of one his female bodybuilders. By the way, the clip was taken by Carmichaek and enhanced by yours truly… yes i have a lil but of skillZZZZZ!! lol so here it is…if you need him to help you with your training, check the site, if you need me to produce a video, hit me on here….lol he he he (i won’t charge as much as Speilburg, so no worries…:))

my news is kinda good and bad all wrapped up into one..here goes..i have a lot on my mind, too much, trying to sort life out u know? so as a result of that, my run this morning was crazy phenomenal!! I find that when I feel like this, I can run and run and run- it felt so good to just let it out. On the bad side, this afternoon, I had to force myself to have a good workout, it didn’t flow like the one this morning, so it was good, but i felt down…tomorrow is another day though- i’ll keep on trucking- got to!!

so i went into the gym armed with my deadly summer soca spinning mix. did calves first, and after that went into the spinning room, turned the lights down reeeaaaaally low, plugged up the ipod checked the volume and tehn hopped on the bike and let it GO!!!!!! IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!!!!! the songs were PERFECT!!!!!! song after song just kept me going as if i were riding in the tour de france or something. it felt so good. while spinning i was thinking….cha, if only this could last forever….remember my post a few weeks ago, the one about time pausing, the world stopping just for me? well, that was it again, i didn’t really feel like stopping. the sweat was pouring, the pedals spinning, my head bobbing, fingers tapping- it was toooo sweeet!!!! so i had a great spinning session alll on my lonesome- if ya wanna join me, let me know… there were plenty of bikes left over…lol so, in the spirit of the soca….i can’t say never give up tonight, tonight iit is…we not giving up!!!!!!!

more fire!!

I am on my way to the gym, but I have been inspired by my morning spinning class to come up with my own soca spinning mix. So I, along with the help of a few downloads, have hooked up a summer soca spinning mix. WHOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!! I am going to be in the little spinning room by myself and my music- so if  you some music faintly playing in the background whereever you are, it’s not your radio, or the radio next door- it is my summer soca mix, cause um gonna be crankin it!!!!!!! I’m out- will post how it went!!

so after nearly a week of not exercising- i hit it in the same routine with legs today. legs, nothing says "welcome back" like a good ol leg workout- lol it was good though, i hit it hard,  to be honest- i did two sets of lunges instead of three, but just for this week, and they weere at the end of the workout- so those two were counted for bonus for today. lol
