    Happy Thursday! 4 clients this morning and 4 tonight! Today is the last day of school for the year for my DD! She's ready for Christmas Break. Have to return some window treatments I got because for some reason even though the model number is the same as the one I purchased a couple of days before, there's an obvious difference in how it filters light.

    Strength: arms- barbell curl, preacher curl, close grip bench, lying tricep extensions. 4x12,10,8,6

    Hey guys! I’m finally over this cough...yay!! I have gained a couple of pounds back from not working out. My eating is out of control! My in laws were in town for my sons birthday the past few days a there was a lot of eating out. I tried choosing good things but still went over calories. We surprised my son for his bday by taking him to see Star Wars as soon as he got off the bus Wednesday. It was sooo good!!! Also we bought a new puppy for Christmas. It won’t be ready to come home until Jan 3rd. Lots of things going on. My in laws bought my daughter 3 things we also bought her for Christmas so tomorrow I have to return and find new things for her. I will get back on the wagon after Christmas because between all the birthday cake, the chocolate chip cookies I made for Santa from scratch and the seafood gumbo I’m making tomorrow, I will need to be in the gym religiously!! Merry Christmas everyone!

    Hey everyone! Even though I’ve been feeling better with the bronchitis gone, I still haven’t made it to the gym. Been busy with things and I’ve had issues with high blood pressure. I had a horrible episode yesterday (migraine, sweaty, shakey, nauseated). I took my blood pressure and it was very high in the scary range. My whole family is on blood pressure meds and I refuse to be one of them. I have been primarily focusing on my eating to try to lower my blood pressure naturally this past week. I feel like I need to get this under control a bit before lifting again. I’ve already seen results in my weight loss from changing my diet. I will start posting on this thread again when I start lifting again. There’s something about this thread that makes me want to get serious about lifting and I love that. Y’all keep me motivated even though I haven’t stuck with it yet. I know I’ll get there just like you all have. It’s just taking me longer. Keep up all the great work! I’ll be back hopefully soon.

    Happy Monday! Happy New Year!!! Today is the start of 2018 and another stab at resolution for many people to lose weight!

    Talk about a great workout along with realife way to defend yourself!!!! I've done BJJ and my BIL is an instructor, so I know how fun it can be. Too bad he lives too far away from me to do it with him everyday.
