Who wants a piece of me?

You know how yesterday was supposed to be bagel day, but wasn’t?  Well, John had said to me that he didn’t know if he could wait until Sunday, so we had a plan to get up and bike to Coffee Planet this morning (on Thursday).  Normally I lift on Tues/Thurs mornings, so I figured I [...]

Fit Female Stage 3B

New lifting day.  You are getting all kinds of lifting posts this week

I was not sore at all from Tuesday’s workout, but part of that is new moves and lighter weights.  Today was the second part of this month’s stage, so without further ado:

On to Stage 3B

Exercise Set/rep/weight 1. Prone [...]

Pi Day and pushups!

Happy Pi Day!  3/14. A celebration of the circle and its irrational number.

How about a circle for breakfast?

Bagel – showcasing pi with the diameter and circumference references!  Learning – it’s what’s for breakfast.

Wednesday bagels are one of my 10% meals of the week.  It was a gorgeous and sunny morning [...]

Female Body Breakthrough

 

 

So, this is my new program! The Female Body Breakthrough by Rachel Cosgrove.  I got this book on kindle reader and I have to say that it really fits right in with my philosophy on eating *and* lifting! It also helps that her husband was one of the co-authors on NROLW, [...]

Noodle arms and nagging

Eeek!  Winter is back.  It was so cold this morning.  I think it was somewhere around 8 degrees.  I had to scrape the car windshield to go to the gym today.  I had half of my protein drink before the workout waiting for the car to warm up a little.   This is 30 grams [...]

Signs of spring!

Hello Drop Sets

Just a straight up workout post today.  I didn’t feel like taking pictures.

Week 3 of the 28 Day Shapeover! The one thing I don’t like about doing programs that have a time length is that I realizes how fast time really goes by. It’s scary sometimes.

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

No snacking weekend!

I was up early on a Saturday morning to do my strength workout.  I wasn’t intending on getting up early, but I just woke up, so I was at the gym at 7 a.m. on a Saturday.  No life, I tell you…

Incline Dumbbell Press 3 sets of [...]

Eating discipline is hard

Another spring winter day. In the mid 40s today. After last winter, it is kind of nice not getting feet and feet of snow, but I do have to say this is weird, weird weather.

I didn’t even have to warm up the car to go to the gym this morning. Today was lower body [...]
