Update on a football Saturday!

It’s Saturday! That means my rear end is glued to the chaise lounge in front of our big screen TV! Right now, the Tennessee Vols (my husband’s favorite team) is playing the Florida Gators, and so far in the first quarter holding their own against the mighty Gators. My Georgia Bulldogs are [...]

Eyes on the Prize

I am so excited.  I sent in my progress pictures this weekend to my Bombshell Coach, Shannon, and nervously awaited the verdict.  I felt like I have given 110%, despite being hampered by my bad knees (more on those in a minute), but I was still concerned whether she thought I had made progress along [...]

Tuesday Update, Carb Depletion in Progress

Hi Everybody!
I can’t believe how great I feel, and how much energy I have!  I noticed the phenomenon last night when I had a big salad for my post workout meal along with a simple shake of water, Sun Warrior vanilla protein, cinnamon and L-glutamine.  No sugars at all, and very little fat, just what [...]

T-minus 5 Days and Counting

Well the crazy pre-contest week diet has begun.   I am still a bit uncertain about what to do exactly, but I am feeling better about it.  I have been studying standard contest diets and just figuring out how to substitute raw foods in the protocol to achieve the same results.  Thank GOD for Sun Warrior [...]

T-Minus 10 days and Counting

OK, it’s getting closer.  I am really getting into some serious diet stuff now.  As I told you before, this is an experiment for me, so I am trying to document my results.  I am focusing on getting as many greens into my body as I can, and keeping the good fats up for now, [...]

Crybabies

I worked shoulders so hard tonight that it was hard to lift my arms to make our post workout green smoothies!   I am so proud of my dear husband.  He has gotten so motivated and is really working out hard.  And he is pushing me even harder, which is great!   It seems to have finally [...]

Back from the land of no internet!

Hi Everybody!
I just got back in from visiting my parents in Georgia today, amid the worst winter storm we have seen here in balmy South Carolina in a long time.  My mother had to have a preventive measure done to help protect her heart.  She had an ICD installed, which is a combo defibrillator/pacemaker.   As [...]

Wonderful Day!

I had a great birthday party last night! I feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many dear friends.  Here are some pictures from the party last night:
 
You can see my Macadamia/White Chocolate/Strawberry Cheezecake on the right, and the regular cake on the left.   I even had decidedly non-health-nut people coming up to me [...]

Defiant Cookie Monster

Wow, has this ever been a busy couple of days!  It’s now way after midnight, and I just had to at least get in a little blogging before bedtime!   Yesterday was really unusual for a Sunday.  Since we are trying so hard to finish the home we are building for our clients to move in at [...]
