Working. It.

Ahhh...let me just tell you how great my back and biceps feel right now...and just how sore they're going to be tomorrow! When I said I was going to bring the heat today, well, I did. Can I just tell you first that my favorite body part of a woman is her back? I don't know why, but there's just something about a long toned back. Well, I worked mine today and will be expecting good results sooner than later! I felt so good in the gym today that I kept adding exercises to do. Trust me, that doesn't happen often. There have been a day or two when I've cheated myself by not doing push-ups or by doing fewer lunges. I'm just really pumped about this announcement that I'll be making soon, so I'm pushing myself extra hard!


To get ready for Monday (the start of Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer), I bought some stuff. Check out my new gloves:

I'll review them once I get them in and start using them. If you can't tell, I'm totally into the whole black and pink thing right now. I also bought an instrument to measure my body fat % and BMI. It received pretty good reviews on Amazon. I decided to buy my own, because my gym doesn't take body fat % and the base gym's instrument is broken. Here it is:

I will review it as well when it comes in. Since I'm starting all over on my program, I bought a new workout log. I use this to keep track of my sets, reps, and weight. Plus, I can look back and see how much weight I've increased. For example, back in January my weight was 35 lbs (3 sets of 12) for wide grip pulldown. Today I got up to 60 lbs for the same exercise and same sets/reps. Here is a page from my logbook today:







Tomorrow I'm going to hit the gym before Gavin's soccer game. I'll be working on abs and shoulders and I LOVE shoulders. I used to hate them and dread those workout days, but now, it's one of my favorite days. Arnold press...here I come!


Hope you all have a wonderful Friday evening. Hopefully, you can plan some time to get outside and get active this weekend!
