Shapeover thoughts

Is anyone else having trouble adapting to the time change? I woke up almost an hour later than usual because of the light.  Good thing I hadn’t planned on the gym today! I am very lucky in that I don’t have to wake up to an alarm, but I do tend to pretty much wake [...]

Giant sets and fast talking

I had my pumpkin protein drink (half before and half after), which is my [...]

This week’s focus is drop sets. What this [...]

Runnin’ and ramblings

Thanks for the nice comments yesterday about my flashback fat feelings.  It just nice sometimes to admit to these things and know you aren’t alone.  So, I hit the gym for run day today.  I set the treadmill at 5.5 mph and just chugged it out while listening to my player.  I had downloaded Casandra [...]

Well, the scale shows nothing lost for the month, and from the before pics only about 3 pounds on the scale, but noticeable body changes. These first shots were taken in the summer, but I had on the same outfit for comparison. The hard workouts are paying [...]
