Hi GUYS!

I PUSHED PLAY AT THE GYM TODAY.
FUNNY STORY..
SO I DID MY CARDIO FIRST AS SOON AS I got to there. Stayed on for about 30 minutes.My plan was to spend another 30 minutes doing legs. Instead I did about 20 before I almost fell flat on my face in front of EVERYBODY in the gym. By the grace of god I got my balance at the last minute. The wires from my headphones got tangled in with the handle on the adductor machine getting caught up around my leg causing me to trip. In order to stop my fast approach to the ground… the headphone wires snatched away from the speakers what was in my ears causing it to SNATCH out of my ears with a LOUD snap. There went the headphones!!!! I couldn’t hear out of them anymore. Dang it! Now I have to buy more. OH well. At least I didn’t fall. The worse part of it was the lady behind me said rather LOUDLY…"ARE YOU OK"!!!! All I could say was "YEAH, I’M FINE" with an embarrased smile. Since my headphones were broken and I was embarrased as HECK I decided to call it a day and head on home. I ended up being at the gym for 51 minutes. Not bad but my goal was to stay 60 minutes.
On that note….I WORKED OUT AND ATE CLEAN TODAY.
GOTTA RUN.
I AM COOKING MY VALENTINES DINNER. IT IS A HEALTHY SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN MADE WITH SPLENDA AND NATURAL JUICES PINEAPPLE CHUNKS. I AM HAVING SAUTEED VEGGIES WITH IT. i CAN’T WAIT TO EAT. I’M STARVING!!!

Today was basicly a high intensity training day mixed in with a upper body circut.  First I got on the treadmil and did hills on an incline for 30 minutes. From there I did Lat pulldowns@ 60 lbs for 15 reps about 3 sets, the row machine at 50 lbs for 15 reps really focusing on my form and on the muscle I was trying to hit. I went back and forth with those for about 3 sets too. The last set I dropped the weight and went to failure. I was feeling it in my lats and middle back area.  From there I did the peck deck for a few sets. I think I used 45 lbs on those until My chest muscles were shaking. That machine makes me feel like such a bad ass!!! Then I worked on my abs. That is truly my weak area. I need to spend more time working on my abs but I HATE it. I get a few sets done and I am threw. Anyways, I did about 2 or 3 sets of 30 reps on the weighted ab machine @ about 60 lbs. I really focused on using my abs to move the weight. Really felt the "burn" when I went really slowly and imagined my abs working. From there I did hanging leg raises. About 1 set of 50 reps broken down 20,10,15,10. Ok I guess that would be more than 50 but I just did it until I didn’t have correct form. After that I cooled my butt down and went home. I a all itchy as I type this and so ready for the shower.

Off to the showers!

Hey y’all.
I just got back from the gym. It was packed in there. GEEZE!!! I only stayed 45 minutes and did cardio only…..
15 minutes on the eliptical and then I went over to the recumbant bikes and rode that for another 15 minutes. I wanted to finish up on the legs doing a small circut of leg extentions and leg curls.

G’night all!
C ya in the AM!

Things have gone back to normal for the most part. I am finally dong my workouts again. Mostly at home…. but at least they are getting done. Of course I have gained some weight since the holidays but I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I have more time on my hands becouse I have gone to part time at work. That gives me more time to work on putting myself back on the list. For some time now I have NOT been on the list of priorities. Everything else started coming first and I came last. NO MORE for that. I want to be fine and sexy for summer. If I don’t try to tighten up now then when the sun peaks his head out I will still be fat and fluffy and can’t fit into any of my hot and sexy clothes. I am starting out with my workout DVD’s for the first few weeks then I will up my game and hit the gym at least 3 times a week. I mean I have been paying for my memberships and only have been getting there half the time. No more wasting money….No more wasting time making excuses. I am going back to logging in my meals. Drinking my protein and eating clean. No more fast food. I can make better food than any resturant! I am back to taking my pictures and posting my acheivements and accountability! I am back to keeping a food journal.  It is a new year, and a new day! Time to create a new me!
