celebration and todays workout

-
just finished upper body and abs.
I did
12.10.8.6 and 24 for burnouts on bicep and chest
I need to go up to 25lbs on bis and chest but dont want to do that on the exercise ball which is what i am using instead of the bench right now... next workout i will move the bench inside :)
4 sets of 14 on shoulder flies with burnouts
4 sets of 14 on tricep with burnouts

I also did abs.. 2 sets on the ball and 2 sets of planks... will do a few more sets in a few :)

Before i lifted I walked 2 miles inside the gym while our track team ran inside. I was walking with a friend who last longer legs than me and she kept me going fast. I havent walked that fast that far in like 5 years :) LOL

I will run on the treadmill tomorrow depending on how my foot feels.. if its not good i will figure out something for cardio ... pushups? laying bicycles? dunno.. maybe hula on the wii :)

eats were good today :)
and..
i havent had a soda since Jan 3rd! getting close to a month with NO sodas :) yippeee..

watched the biggest loser while i was lifting tonight... that show makes me wanna workout :)

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

Happy to say I am not very saddle sore from the bike ride last night.. think this ole tush is getting use to riding again:) it was nice to get up this morning and get to workout.. I did three b's .. squats, leg extensions, dead lift, leg curls, bi curls and then I decided to throw in some abs cause I didnt do them last night.. :) I am feeling stronger and stronger and that feels nice. I am also getting leaner.. today I notice above my knee caps was CUT!.. I am not going to complain here.. because getting rid of fat is getting rid of fat.. but why.. I ask you .. does it come off my knee caps, and my shoulders instead of my baby belly or my bottom? .. its just not really that funny but I cant help but laugh.. what do to.. but to keep going.. and some day I will have the nice lean increadably cut knee knees I have always dreamed of. :) hehe.. Happy friday! taking the kids swimming today.. first time this summer. have to run and get suits for them.. they keep growing out of theirs! ho...

Beautiful Monday and Weekend food hangover

-
it was a beautiful morning at the track.. temp in the 50s and no wind! I walked a mile with a friend, then walked jogged 1.5 for total of 2.5 miles this morning.. We came home and I did some burpies with the boys then planks, leg lifts, sit ups, and leg side raises. Those burpies are hard.. I am so sloooooow at them.. but i managed 5. This weekend was free for eating.. I gave that meat a try and its interesting how my tummy reacted..I also had a few cokes.. Isnt it funny how when you dont drink them for a while and then start drinking them again they dont taste near as good as you remember :) anyway.. I am back to veggin it today and looking forward to some green smoothies as soon as i go buy some more spinach :) I am so happy to be seeing muscle showing up in my legs again and really hope this means burning off the fat is not far behind :) I am off to make some breakfast.. decisions decisions.. whole wheat or oatmeal? hummmm
