Wow, did we ever kill legs today!  I am already sore, but that’s partly because I was doing plyometric leg exercises last night for my cardio intervals, so my legs were already pre-exhausted.  I still got my heavy leg press, though!
Leg Workout:

Warmup on recumbent bike for 12 minutes
Leg press:  4 sets:  1 medium intensity with [...]

I am back from visiting my parents and being a farm girl for the last few days.  You can take the girl out of the country, but you sure can’t take the country out of the girl!  I do love the farm, waking up to a gorgeous sunrise glistening over the dewy pastures and the [...]

This will be my last post for a couple of days.  There are big changes happening with my blog.  I am having it moved to become a self-hosted blog and website, which is very exciting because I will be able to do many more powerful things with the site.  But I am a complete novice [...]

I am so psyched up!  I think I am finally growing my rear end and legs a bit.  I put on a pair of jeans today that I had quit wearing because they were so big they wouldn’t stay up on me.   And they are the really low hipster-type jeans so it’s hard to wear [...]

Hi Everybody!  Sorry so long between posts.  We had a wonderful trip to Georgia to visit my family for my niece’s birthday (and mine too–more on that in a minute).   My parents don’t have a computer, and although I did get to use my sister’s computer briefly I had no time to put together a [...]

Look how cute these pictures are!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I saw these on a Facebook application tonight, and had to share them with you!   I just loved that they had ‘Raw’ in them, plus the cute kitties.  I am a kitty freak, for sure.  I love cats, especially Jukebox, my big fat white kitty. 
I had the privilege today of [...]

Sorry I missed yesterday.  When I dragged myself in the house last night, I could barely hold my eyes open.  I had to crash.  I didn’t even stay on Crack-book–I mean Face Book–for very long.   That is the most addictive thing I have encountered in a long time.  It has been incredible reconnecting with people [...]

I saw the greatest quote yesterday: “Baby steps spark miracles. Miracles do not spark baby steps. Take action. The only miracles that can’t reach you are the ones you wait around for.”
I took a few baby steps today. I taught my first living foods class. It was a blessing and a wonderful experience. For some [...]
