127 Days to go!!

Just finished Chest at the gym. Short workout since I teach tonight. I have back tomorrow and then Friday is my "active rest" day weightlifting, wise. I don't lift again until late Sat. afternoon. I like to think I'm doing a pretty nice job taking care of myself! I eat my meals every two hours, supplement accordingly, ice if necessary, get a massage (when possible), take Epsom salt bath and go to bed at 10! I'm fully aware that my muscles need rest (that's when they grow, Right!) and over-training is the last thing I want to happen. I'm basically 17 weeks out and ALL IS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I'm happy with my progress thus far and will changing my workouts if I feel I'm not recovered from the previous session.

P.S. I LOVE TO LIFT!!! Yeahhhh.

Legs, Legs, Legs

This morning I worked my legs SO hard! It was intense, I'm really happy with how it went! After lifting, I did HIIT on the Stair Mill and just about couldn't walk afterwards- my legs were JELLO!!! :) I gotta say I love that feeling! Come Wednesdays, my week just flies by, and, it's packed with fitness! I have chest & Turbo Kick tomorrow, Core Central/Hi-Lo & Gymnastics on Thursday (oh yeah, and back) and Friday I do a long bike ride, no lifting. I just watched Ms. Fitness World on FSN and it definitely pumps me up and makes me work hard! I know my goal seems "lofty" but I'm confident! It's helpful that so many people believe in me, too! :) :) :)

It's the Weekend.....

Well, almost.....I have 6 appointments this morning, then I'm heading to the gym for shoulders & back...........and over an hour of cardio. Maybe I'll split it up and do a bike ride in the evening. The rest of my week (thurs. fri) went pretty well! I have some mini goals for the next couple days. I need to finish all my water (sounds easy......not so much) practice my straddle holds with the pushup bars, complete all cardio, go to yoga, stretch, stretch, stretch and practice splits. Also, I need to do some hydrotherapy on my sore spots......ouch! And lastly, prep. all my meals for next week........What's 8 times 5? A lot of freakin' meals........:)
Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next week I'm taking progress pix.....oohhh goodness.....

Turbo Wednesdays

Alright, if I could continue with the pace I was at today.....wow, I'd really be getting somewhere! :) I woke up and did fasted HIIT on the treadmill. Worked until 2pm, hit the gym for Chest, came home and napped, went back and taught 1 hr. of TurboKick. WONDERFUL class, so much fun, 20 people there! Tomorrow I will do more HIIT in the morning, work again until 2pm, go teach at 4:30, and then go to Gymnastics at 7pm! I'm LOVING Gymnastics. Last week I was practicing round off back handsprings, handstands, straddle jumps, and the rest of the required moves for my routine. I stocked up on fish today......yipee......who knew I (of all picky people) would end up eating asparagus and cod???...........my parents will be so proud......:) :) :) tee hee hee.

Liberty Lake Loop

AWESOME!!! Today my leg workout consisted of a three HOUR hike in Liberty Lake. Just b-e-a-utiful!! :) There were two or three Serious inclines that really fatigued the legs. I didn't eat as often as I was suppose to, but I wasn't too far off. Tomorrow is bi/tri's and I'm subbing an hour long step class which will almost cover cardio for the day. We hope to start biking a lot in the evenings...the weather is Finally staying nice consistently! Yeahhhhh! Love it!

138 DAYS OUT!!!!!!!

Wow. I can't believe I'm really doing this. I anticipate that I have quite the adventure in front of me. I'm hoping to keep *and share* this blog to help keep me motivated and on track. I look forward to posting my progress and hopefully all my successes!! :)
Much love to all, please stay tuned!
