Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs, and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells can't. But you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper can. And you discover that the person you thought you were is NO match for the one you really are.

Back In The Saddle Again

Monday morning again.  After a week with my kids sick and then a week of my body purging everything it didn't think it needed to be inside me, I am glad to be back at shredding fat.  This morning I:

Worked on my arms.

15 lateral lifts - 5lbs
15 curls - 12.5lbs
15 mowers(?) - 10lbs
15 flys - 12.5lbs
12 curl up/hammer down - 12.5lbs
15 tricep drops - 7.5lbs (yes, I'm making up my own names because I can't remember what it's called)
15 pushups
12 curls -12.5lbs
12 tricep extensions - 7.5lbs

50 squat run - 5lbs

2 mile interval run (treadmill)

Weights and Running.  What more is there?  Okay.  There is a lot more, but I sure do love Lifting.  It's strengthening not just to the body, but to the mind as well.  It's like giving myself a boost of energy and declaring "I can do ANYTHING."  I think I will keep up the strength training.

So, a while ago I mentioned that I was going to try to Eat Clean.  I bought the Cookbook and the Family and Kids version of the plan.  I have read both books and think they are great.  I haven't been able taken the time to really implement the eating habits into my family life, but soon.  I'm working on baby steps.  My first real change is buying 100% whole wheat tortillas.  They were really good this morning on my breakfast burrito.  This week I have planned a couple of meals out of the cookbook.  Here's hoping it all goes well.
