For real this time...
Ok Ladies....I posted here a while back and then my schedule went haywire. Today I am starting SL 5x5 for really real! I have been reading up on tips and techniques, and was able to get under a bar for squats on my last gym day (which took away a lot of the anxiety I was feeling). Would it be beneficial for me to do the A…

I'm so geeked out.....................................
I am excited to the point of geeking out about this challange. The prospect of being closer to 200 (if not under) is thrilling to me. It has been the kick in the pants I needed to get my butt back to the gym for the first time in over a month last night (I became the queen of excuses...tired, sick, had to clean, working…

I'm looking forward to adding zumba, aerobics, and yoga back into my life on monday - I took an exercise break while allowing myself some time to deal with carb withdrawl after cutting out my daily pasta binge. So I totally feel like I am on the up and up and have a…
