Monday-October 26, 2009-GREAT FIRST WORKOUT of new cycle!
I enjoyed my first workout of the new cycle. Using the lower and slower reps has really allowed me to work my body better. Today, I worked my arms and shoulders and YES, I’m actually feeling a little sore, which I LIKE! LOL! 
Doing 6 x 12 reps of SLOW chin-ups was pretty intense as well!
Taking the week off allowed me to really appreciate the benefits of being able to take 2 hours out of an otherwise busy day to have to yourself. It has turned out to be some of my best thinking time! I’m working on a book and great ideas come to me, especially during my runs. Today’s run was not too bad considering the week off! I was able to complete 2 miles in 15:12. I could have pushed harder and will do so on my runs!
I’m working hard on keeping the diet clean. Last week, feeling a little sorry for myself, I overindulged. This week I’m more grounded and accepting of the fact that right now, I’m not employed. I’ve concentrated my efforts on helping out my mother and keeping my Grandmother as stable and comfortable as possible. I’m feeling that a positive change for me is coming out of this situation! I appreciate those BodySpace friends who have provided kind and encouraging words.
I wish everyone a great week of workouts and that you continue to get closer to your health and fitness goals!

book ideas can also be herbally inspired. all my best blog ideas come after herbal supplementation and on long runs, but then I always forget about them before they get on paper. lifestyle issues I guess.

LOL! Just what kind of herbal supplementation are you talking about?…I guess I work better herb free!
