I just got back from the gym and had a really great workout!  I usually workout at home but on the days when the kids are at their dad’s I try to get to the gym with Chad.  I LOVE working out with him because he is so intense and that really pushes me to do my best and lift as heavy as I can.  Plus- he is the sexiest man on the planet and it is like a little reward to be able to watch him punish himself in the gym when I am resting between sets.  Talk about a turn on!

Today I did chest, back and shoulders.  Right now I am trying to hit each body part twice a week.  One day I am doing total body and then doing a 3 day split the rest of the week. 

I had a personal best doing 1 arm rows with 50lb db’s.  I started out with 30 for 15 reps, than 35 for 12 reps, 40 for 10 reps, 45 for 8 reps and then 50 for 5 reps.  I’m not sure my form was the greatest on that last set but I DID IT!

For chest I really rocked it doing 3 sets of 8 reps with 95 lb bb.  It was really tough!

All in all I worked those three muscle groups for almost 1.5 hours and did many sets of many exercises!  I was so wiped at the end that I could hardly walk out of there.  I finished with about 15 minutes of intense plyo intervals to get my heart rate up there. 

God do I love to work out hard like that!

For years I have wanted to have the body of my dreams.  I have half-assed the effort to achieve this.  I love to work out and lift heavy- that isn’t where I struggle.  I have to clean up my diet and I have to do it now!  I just turned 37 last week.  I remember when my goal was to have my best body EVER by the time I was 30.  That was a long long time ago. 

I feel that I have gotten a whole new lease on life and now is the best time EVER to begin this journey.  I have FINALLY found the love of my life after all these years and am happier than I have ever been.  He is the most amazing man and fully supports me in this journey.  He is taking a similar journey himself and we are going to be able to share this together! 

I feel that I finally know who I am, what I want and how to get that.  I have taken control of my life after many years of basically just surviving.  I feel ALIVE and stronger than I have ever been (both mentally and physically). 

I am so excited to get to know like minded people here on BB.com.  I am pumped and ready to see just how far I can take this with the right attitude, mindset, drive, passion and determination.  ALL of which I feel I have and am ready to harness. 

So- for my first post here and the beginning of my new life I say- Fasten your seat belts kids because HERE WE GO!  Who’s with me?
