Yikes!Did glutes and Hams with my workout partner ,Lauren and our trainer Ed.No butts about it,we nailed them good.I got up this morning to go to the gym and well they really hurt.That’s what we were trying to do make them listen.and they are.Great workout.Keep hitting them like that and I’ll have the ass of 18 yr old again.yeha

Yah baby! Here we go ,Great chest and tri workout.Focus ,you got it 1 more .I’m ready to rock  got the mind set.Let’s gooo

Just focus girl It will come You have the determination the dicipline.Now all you need is a little patience.Keep the goal in sight.The pay off  is so worth it.

I thought I was prepared for the after show blues but I guess I’m not.I find myself the past  couple of days kinda floudering about.I know that I need to gain more muscle,but I really like being lean.Is there a way to have both?I’m trying to figure out what to add to my diet without adding a layer of fat as well.The Holidays are coming I need to have  my path mapped out so I don’t screw up.

I was at the gym this morning.I had a geat shoulder and ab workout.(Did the push-up s That Amy Suds suggested) I’ll keep at that.While I was working out ,some of the regulars were asking ?’s about diet and such.They were very complimentary.Not that I need  that to make or break the day.I think I’m my own best critic knowing when I’m getting too lean or to thick,but then I move to a different area of the gym and I get you need to eat girl your way too thin!Mind you I just came off a show last weekend"So I am lean but not too skinny by any means It’s funny how people will put their opinions out there even when theres no reason to give one.I think I have a positive self-image.I’m 42 with 3 kids.LOVE working out ,love what I have built at this point,and I am so looking forward to see what I can do in the next year.It’s exciting to know that I have the  ability to make such changes.I need to like what I see in the mirror.And I DO

This morning, on my way home from the gym I was thinking how it is that I will reach knew goals,how will I keep myelf feeling excited about working out.And then I thought , first look how far you have come .In the last 2 yrs alone my body has been thru so much. Fitness has been what has kept my mind focusing on moving forward.The gym and the friendships I have made there is what has kept my mind off the bad shit.My body is strong and I am grateful .I need to Remember without my health I cannot move forward.Stop getting angry about slow progress.Map out the knew road to get to the next level.And  remember to stop and be proud of how far I have come.

Time to take a look at where I want to be next year at this time and how I’m going to get there.Definately have to evaluate my diet and figure out what I need to do for lean muscle gain, decide what to do about cardio.Here I come Oxygen

There’s always next time, And we learn from our mistakes.Timing off on the carb load .I came in flat as could be couldn’t even get a pump.I knew I was screwed before I got out there.Either way it’s a win I reached my goal of 9% body fat and got out there in those crazy 5 inch heels. .Look to see whats on for next season and work my ass off.

Getting nervous,I hate that!But the thoughts of being on the stage in the little bikini and those super HIGH heels(YIKES).I’ve worked really hard and didn’t cheat at all on my diet.so know matter what happens I’ve already won.workouts are still going strong.Stopped cardio yesturday.Ed (my trainer)said no more .I was not going to argue LOL(yay!NO cardio).Just pose ,pose ,pose next couple of days.

To cold for me!New England-It’s that time of the year ."I know"but32 degrees this morning when I went to the gym.Yikes!I’ve never done a show this time of the year ,I’ve always have done spring and summer shows.Low body fat in New England in Oct ,not a good idea "Note To Self"TO cold for me.
