Pink Eye, Really?

What a bummer!  I'm not quarantined in my bedroom, not to be let out except under emergency situations.  Haha, just kidding.  I do have pink eye though, and I'm trying not to touch anything or anyone.  Frustrating!  I did have to get out of the house this afternoon though, not being able to stand sitting in bed all day, especially when I FEEL fine - silly eyes!  So I went and watched Josha and Mindy belly dance for awhile and then Josha and I did tris and bis (will do chest tomorrow).  Then we went to our actual belly dancing class tonight for almost two hours.  Man, that was a blast!  It was amazing to learn new choreography - I've missed it so so so much!  Can't wait for next week! 

Shortened, but DONE

Well, I can hardly move today (thank you sprints) and so Josha and I shortened our work out (back, shoulders, triceps, biceps).  We had a great work out though, and I went up on most of my weight!  My arms were definitely jello like when we left.  Looking forward to the weekend being here, and having some free food tomorrow!  MMMMM!

Poo-free and sore! and TODAY (updated!)

Well yesterday marked one week of being poo-free and I thought I'd share a picture of my hair, which I LOVE!  It's soft and wavy and wonderful!

We did upper body today, and I worked really hard.  Went up on all of my weights except shoulders, which I've grown to HATE.  Just because every exercise uses them, and I am exhausted by the time we get around to them.  They're really not that bad, just frustrating.  Everything else was fantastic!  

Hope your day was GREAT!

GREAT arms day!!!

Had a wonderful workout this afternoon.  I feel myself getting stronger and stronger every time I lift, and it is so great!  My arms are super shaky now, and boy oh boy are my legs SORE from yesterday!  We also belly danced, which I LOVE.  Something about that really clears my mind and makes me feel absolutely great.  Oh yeah and we did abs in between sets at the gym.  All in all it was a fantastic day!  And I know I'm gonna be feeling it tomorrow!

Legs of Jello!

First off, Happy Easter to everyone!  It's been a great last couple of days here in CO, GORGEOUS weather!  Just got back in from doing legs, and man oh man!  My legs are so jelly-like.  Those triple drop sets are KILLER!  This is what our work out looked like:

squats: 140x12, 150x10, 160x10, 170x10 with 3 sets of 10 on calves at 150, 160, and 170

then came those triple drop sets(tds): leg extensions 40x10, 20x10, 10x8, 40x8, 20x8, 10x8 - let me just say YEOW!!!!!!!  then tds on hamstring curls 17.5x10, 15x10, 12.5x8, 17.5x8, 15x8, 12.5x8.

Really ladies, I strongly suggest this maximum growth program, it's SO much work and it SO pays off!

Maybe I can talk Josha into taking pictures tonight.  We'll see!  Hope your Easter was great!

What a day!

Skied this morning, went all the way to the top!  Didn't come crashing down - woohoo!!!!!  Lifted this afternoon: chest, shoulders, bis and tris.  Worked HARD, arms feel a little like jello.  Good work out.  Good day.  Ready for a free Easter weekend, though we will likely do legs tomorrow or Sunday.  All I can think is mmmm chocolate! :-D

Skiing!

Went skiing today for cardio.  Nice work out!  Beautiful day here; the weather is spectacular.  Cool breeze, sun shining, good if you're in long sleeves, snow everywhere.  What a great place we live!

Done done done!

Two days of work down!  Work out for the day complete.  Eats on.  Hooray for today!

Another day down!

Today was great.  Upper body was a good, hard work out.  I went up on almost all my weights (yippy!)  It's great getting stronger and stronger.  But I mean, I am a super hero, what else do you expect?!?!  Eats were good today too, and speaking of eats, I'm HUNGRY!  Now to food!

Legs DONE!

Josha and I just did our lower body work out.  I don't remember much of it, we were having some pretty great conversation throughout, made it go by super fast.  Still have a bit of a cold, but its just all the yucky stuff in my lungs; it'll be gone soon enough! Looking forward to an on track week full of excellent work outs to post about!  And maybe even some cardio one day!  :-D

We did it!

We worked out yesterday despite our illness and rocked it out!  My arms and legs have gained a lot of definition these past two months, and I'm loving it!  Starting to feel better today, but will probably skip cardio.  Maybe we'll go for a walk instead.  It's so refreshing here!

Sick!

We are sick over here, just head colds, but annoying ones!  My throat is all kinds of in pain and my body feels achey.  No fever though.  Lots of hot tea and rest is in order over the next day or so, and lots of Zicam - it's never failed me before!  Still planning on doing our upper body work out tomorrow: chest, shoulders, triceps, biceps.  I won't let this get me down! :-D

Oh OW

Well, the past few work outs have been HARD and painful... AND WONDERFUL!  I'm loving this follow-up! I've been super sore the last week, hooray for progress!  That's all for now!

The results are in!

Alright here are the stats, pictures to come eventually, I promise!

What a weekend!

Well, it was a great weekend!  We had a ton of fun skiing and snowmobiling!  Justin was around a lot, which was fun too! :-D We did some serious playing of the Wii, which really is way more of a work out than you think.  I promised pictures, so here ya go!  

Josha and I started cross-country skiing on Friday and went out again on Saturday - I am STILL sore!  My entire backside hurts, but in a good way! We're about to go belly dance for awhile and then we will do our strength test tonight, so look for an update soon!  And pictures, hopefully!
