So, when I walked in to FitNation this morning, one of the guys that lifts there on a regular basis said "man, it looks like you gained a ton of muscle!" I haven't been going to FitNation over the last few weeks so many thought I had just stopped training (they don't know me at all). But, it's hard for me to tell what is noticeable from one point to another. I do know that I have gained a ton of strength, so I guess with that comes muscle. The thing is though, I don't want to be a complete muscle bound chick. I want to slim down more but still have a ton of muscle. That is currently in progress and I know that it's not something that happens overnight. <<<< I typed that line only to remind myself of this fact. :-)
I kinda think I killed leg day this morning! I didn't get started as early as I wanted to but I got there. Flying solo wasn't so bad. I mean that's what I was doing before D.F.C. but I truly miss training with them on the regular (hope they are fairing well without me-LOL). I was able to get through the entire leg routine but had a slight scare when I got to the lunges. I did 6 sets of squats (2 warm ups) and it went well. Since I didn't have a spot I kept the weight at 200#. Now, the lunges... I felt that sciatic thing every time I lunged with my left leg. So, after the first set I contemplated if I should continue. I am no where near a punk, but I am not for being injured either. However, I know what this pain is and I made the decision to lunge right through it. You know what? By the third set, the pain was gone. I'm really happy about this because I have a 5k to run tomorrow. Calf WORK!!!, Leg press, extensions, and hami curls went great. I considered doing a bonus set of deadlifts but decided I will wait on that as planned. I have to say that the lunges were by far the most taxing movement for me. They got my heart rate up and I was sweating buckets! It makes me want to do them more often just for the hell of it (habitual deviator). I won't though. I'm going to stick to the plan.
Speaking of plans, I have been working on a couple of projects that I will hopefully be able to share with you soon. In exploring, researching, and planning these things, I have learned that there are endless opportunities out there. You just have to do the leg work to seize those opportunities. I am one that hates to talk about what they are going to do. I usually JUST DO IT! The more you sit around and talk about it, the longer it takes to get it done, and you increase the risk of letting an opportunity pass you by. So, you will soon hear about a project that D.F.C. has in the works, along with other really cool things I'm involved in. So, keep your eyes focused. I truly believe in everything I involve myself in so I have no doubt that each project will be SUPER DOPE!
Well that's all I have for today. My intention is to post again on Saturday, however...I am trying to have a LIFE (wink, wink). Until next time, go find your PEACE!!! Find what gives you COMPLETE and UTTER JOY and drown yourself in it. Life is WAY too short to be miserable or unhappy, but all that is up to you and no one else. You deserve it.
