Tomorrow i'm back at the gym, weights and cardio will be a part of my life once more!! It has been very hard for me, i think the worse part was feeling  sluggish. Can't wait, my bag is packed. :)

So it's Thursday and i'm on the home stretch i've been very restless and can't wait to return to the gym. I feel mushy, even though i'm not, i feel gross, even though i'm not, what i am is antsy. Lucky for me i have a fosterling to care for, for 1 month, a 4 month old kitten. The funny part is i have never owned a cat in my life so everything is new!! This is what i have learned about kittens/cats, always tie your hair back, unless you want your face to look like a stratching post ( i have... Go to BodyBlog

After reading a few articles on the importance of taking a full recovery week from weights, i also read that no cardio is also advised. So here i sit bored trying to figure out how i'm going to spend my mornings for an entire week. I hate this!!!!! My body better thank me, with heavier weights.

Since i have decided not to lift any weights this coming week,  let me rephrase that, since my body has decided not to let me lift weights this coming week, i have to find a way to still stay connected at the gym, (me bad) so my plan is to do my cardio classes and yoga after to stretch out all my kinks. This week is going to be sooo hard :( I would love to hear some ways that others fill in that free time when you give your body a rest.  Hoping i will come back... Go to BodyBlog

...this woman comes up to me and starts talking about my arms, blah blah blah the conversation ended up being how she was in better shape then me and how i wasn't very cut. What!! So i excused myself and continued shopping only to bump into her again and she starts up again about my arms, asking me how heavy i can lift. I think maybe she was stalking me lol. This was one crazy lady. So my question is, is it ever ok to punch someone in the nose? lol!

Over the years of cross training with many different fitness activities, i have learned the importance of staying limber. I'm at that age you know where waking up in the morning can cause creaking, stiffness and popping, so i had to find a book to help with stretching. Off to the library i went and i found the perfect book to keeping me limber or maybe i should say limber for me. The book is called The Body in Action by Sarah Key. Here is some info about the book. Whether you suffer from aches,... Go to BodyBlog

Listening to my lower body and taking all of next week off from weights. Had a killer leg workout today, maybe too much :(  Ice, heat, both? Anyone else ever overdo it? I know my body will thank me, that being said i'm going to miss my workouts. Heal and grow muscles how i love you!! lol! How is everyone doing with their workouts?

Today i had an amazing training session. 3 sets 4 reps unassisted tricep dips woohoo!!! Feeling mighty strong :)

Today, i again learned an important lesson about loving yourself. I'm not sure if guys have the same problem as we women do, or if guys just don't talk about it.  So the story goes like this. A friend of mine told me that my hair is too long. Ok, it wasn't said that nicely it was more like, "you're not going to keep your hair that long are you?" don't forget to add the little tone of disgust. Actually i was going to keep it this length and maybe grow it a bit longer, and if...

Thanks to everyone who gave me advice on a mans brain, and what comes out of their mouths, lol! So todays topic is about another mans brain. One of the personal trainers at the local gym i work out at said he could fix me up with something to make my training easier. SAY WHAT!!! and me being so oblivious to what he said asked him what he meant. "You know" making an injection motion with his fingers. OMG!! never in a million years would i ever think i would get offered something, let... Go to BodyBlog
