3/11 Workout: Biceps, Triceps & Cardio
For some reason my triceps were really sore today. I must have used them more than I thought yesterday during my ab workout. Whoooops! I still did pretty well even though they were so sore – I raised the weight 5 pounds and still did 12 reps (last week I did 15 reps with less [...]
3 Weight Training Supplements that are Worth the Money
Before I get haggled about recommending any use of weight training supplements, I will say that fitness and/or weight loss goals can be made without the use of supplements. However, the supplements I’m about to tell you about are all natural. I’m not talking about fat blockers, thermogenic fat burners, carb blockers or any of [...]
3/9 Workout: Chest and Back
Today’s workout pissed me off. I don’t know why but the past 3 weeks I’ve been flat benching 85# and it feels as if it’s getting harder each week. Shouldn’t that be the opposite?? Usually that happens to be the case, but not as of late. I feel like I’m stuck at 85 pounds. Today [...]
Is Your Body Bikini-Ready?
Spring is right around the corner now and Summer will be here before you know it! During the cooler months of the year, your body has been covered up with warm clothing. Removing those layers now might just reveal a body that isn’t quite worthy of that new swimsuit you’ve been eyeballing. Now isn’t the [...]
3/7 Workout: Heavy Legs!
Another heavy leg day! I had to skip working out yesterday and did legs today instead. I plan on doing some cardio tomorrow since everything got twisted around this weekend. My legs are way too tired now to have even attempted a run at doing some cardio today too.
My husband picked up the squat rack [...]

3/2 Workout: Chest & Back
Today’s chest and back workout felt pretty tough. I’m not sure if it was because I did legs Sunday instead of Saturday and lost an extra day of rest, or if it was because we started a little later than normal. It was probably a combination of both, but I really struggled with my flat [...]
2/26 & 2/28: Cardio & Heavy Legs Workout
MY LEGS ARE TIRED!!!!!! When I sit down I feel like I’m sitting on my butt and have NO legs at all underneath. I pushed myself really hard today and it feels great. Normally I would’ve done my strength training workout yesterday, but we had our new bedroom furniture delivered and we had to finish [...]
2/21 & 2/23 Workouts: Cardio, Chest and Back
I feel like it’s been too long since I’ve written a post here. That’s probably mostly because I forgot to post my cardio workout from Sunday. (the one I swear I almost died from!) It was pretty crazy and I was so happy when I was done, but my body felt weird for a good [...]
2/20 Workout: 100 Pound Deadlifts! (Heavy Legs and Shoulders)
Today was heavy leg day followed up with a shoulder workout. I’ve decided that I’m going to start a new workout split next week, but I haven’t quite figured out exactly what yet. I’ll work on it tomorrow and Monday. I think I’ll probably keep the Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday split for strength training but I’m gonna switch [...]
2/13 & 2/14 Workouts: Heavy Legs, Shoulders & Cardio
Happy Valentine’s Day! <3 I did a heavy leg workout and a shoulder workout yesterday and then today I did a steady state cardio workout. I don’t do cardio on leg day – it gets to be too much for my legs, especially when I’m lifting heavy like I have been lately. So…I’m completely kosher [...]
2/11 Workout: Chest, Triceps & 600 Calories Worth of Cardio
Today’s workout was a little tough. I’ve had some kind of stomach flu since Tuesday night and some horrible abdominal cramping to go along with it. Today has been quite a bit better, but I still haven’t been eating as much as I normally would on a workout day. For this reason, I felt weak [...]
2/7 & 2/9 Workouts: Steady Cardio, Back, Biceps & HIIT
I completely forgot to post my cardio workout that I did Sunday morning, so I’ll just include it in this post with today’s workout.
I took an updated back photo today. I chose to not wear a sports bra in the pic like I normally do so I could see my whole back instead of parts [...]
How Pop Singer Pink Stays in Shape
I’ve always been a huge fan of P!nk’s music. I remember listening to her CDs in my car on the way to school in senior high and my feelings haven’t changed, I still love her music. Another thing I love about her is her body. She always seems to be in superb shape. I admire [...]
2/6 Workout: Heavy Legs & Shoulders
This leg and shoulders workout took a lot outta me today! I did heavy legs again this week and I followed that up with shoulders. I was going to do weighted crunches afterwards but my arms (more specifically my shoulders) were too tired. I felt I wasn’t performing them properly because I wasn’t strong enough [...]
I Finally Made the Switch to Skim Milk – Here’s Why
I honestly don’t know what in the world took me so long. Growing up, I was always drinking 1% or 2% milk. As I began learning about nutrition, I vowed to only drink 1% milk, which I have done for the last 3 years. Eventually I did want to make the switch to Skim milk [...]
2/4 Workout: Chest, Triceps & Cardio
Today was chest & triceps day followed with steady state cardio. I always get excited about chest day. I like the bench press – it’s always been one of my favorite exercises.
I decided to up the weight 5 pounds this week and was still able to perform 5 reps. That’s right in the 4 to [...]
How to Eat Healthy on Super Bowl Sunday
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, or USDA, Super Bowl Sunday is only second to Thanksgiving as the highest food consumption day by Americans. Isn’t that crazy? I had no idea, but I suppose it does kind of make sense!
If you think about it, Super Bowl parties usually consist of a meat for [...]
2/2 Workout: Back, Biceps & Cardio
Today I was able to get another great workout in! My goal was to do back and biceps for strength training and then to do a cardio workout that consisted of both high-intensity interval training (HIIT) followed immediately by steady state cardio. I aimed to do 10 minutes of HIIT and at least 10 minutes [...]
1/30 & 1/31 Workouts: Heavy Legs, Abs & Cardio
This post is a compilation of the workouts I did yesterday and today. I had a huge Christmas party to go to yesterday and before that started I had to go grocery shopping and then get my workout in. I had planned on doing abs yesterday, but I decided to do them today just before [...]
