Wednesday Weigh-In – I Meet (& Beat) My Weight Loss Goal!
In early January of this year I was at 146 lbs and still wanting to lose at least 11 more pounds to meet my goal weight of 135lbs that I had set for myself. My weight has been steadily and slowly declining up until this point. I actually went through a period of about 2 [...]
Memorial Weekend 2009: 1 Workout, My Bridal Shower, A Picnic & Memorials
This was one of the best weekends I’ve had in a very long time. Definitely not a lot of working out involved, but I’ll be back on track this week. It’s good to take a break sometimes! Before I get into everything else, here’s the small workout I did get it on Saturday:
5/19 & 5/20 Workout: Cardio
These past 2 days I have just done some cardio. I like to take a break from the weights every now and then for about a week. Next week I’ll be on them again and then probably won’t take a break from them until after our wedding. It’s only a LITTLE over 2 months away! [...]
5/16 Workout: Chest, Abs & Cardio
Today was kind of a disappointing day. I did my chest workout, the ab workout I’ve been doing and then some cardio. All was going great until my last set of flat bench. My fiance’ wanted me to try for 105 two times since I did 100 lbs the week prior. I failed. I had [...]

5/15 Workout: Legs, Abs & Cardio
I finally got a good workout in today! I concentrated mostly on abs and cardio, but I did work on my quads a little bit too. I really wanted pizza for dinner tonight so I did a longer cardio session than I normally do. I use MyFitnessPal.com to track my calories – it’s a free [...]
5/14 Workout: Cardio
After having a rest day, I was really ready for a great workout today and I didn’t get one. My kids were being monsters. All I got in was a 10-minute cardio session. I was doing my 5-minute warmup and the kids started acting up so I just kept going on the treadmill for as [...]

5/12 Workout: Biceps, Triceps, Shoulders & Cardio
I actually dreaded today’s workout. I really detest arm day. I just find it incredibly boring. Once I got into it though, the time flew by. I did things a little differently today in that I did cardio before strength training. I probably won’t do it like that on days where I work legs or [...]
5/11 Workout: Back & Abs
My abs were burning yesterday from the ab workout I did on Saturday. They felt better today so I decided to do another ab workout. I’m planning on doing ab workouts 3 times per week. In addition to abs, I also did back today. I’m so happy to be back to a normal (for me) [...]
5/9 Workout: Chest & Abs
Okay, so I have to admit that I am sick of the BodyForLife program. I’m not a fan of the upper/lower/cardio splits so I have decided to go back to my old way of doing things and that is to do cardio at least 3 days per week and then have a 5 or 6-day [...]
I’m a Student Again…But For What? =)

I know that my studies and the new, more in-depth knowledge I’m about to gain will help me to provide my blog readers with even more content about workout programs, nutrition [...]
My All-Time Favorite Piece of Ab Exercise Equipment
There are many different kinds of ab exercise equipment available but don’t feel like you need to have everything. I only have 1 piece of ab exercise equipment and that is my ab straps. Ab straps are used for performing hanging leg or knee raises – one of my favorite ab exercises! The ab straps [...]
5/3 Upper Body Workout
Image via Wikipedia Today I did a similar upper body workout to what I have been doing, but I added more sets to my bench press because my goal is to be able to bench my body weight. The details will be outlined in the routine below: Flat Bench Press – 40# x 12 reps [...]
