  • Dead Liftin’ workout

    So as tired as I was from going out last night – and as hard as my little internal monster voice tried to talk me out of going to group training this morning – I went. My ‘other’ voice said “it’s only one hour – you don’t have to work today – you can take…

  • 2 A-Day Workouts

    Yesterday was a crazy busy day — Scotty and I headed out to finish our last minute holiday shopping and then we spent a few hours wrapping the gifts. This is pretty good for us as we usually wait until the night before so we are already ahead of last year’s schedule. Then I headed…

  • It’s all mental workout!

    So I headed to boot camp at 545a this morning, even though I worked out last night. It’s part of my routine – I can’t help it! But I definitely felt the impact on my energy and strength. Next week boot camp is off – so I will probably head to Gold’s to get some…

However, fewer give carbohydrates much thought, or know why they should. But a growing number of top nutritional scientists blame excessive carbohydrates — not fat…

  • Ring row workout

    After my weekend of parties and outings – I am 1lb up. I am not stressing — I was conscious of my treats and was expecting more weight gain.   I’m sore from Gold’s gym yesterday and I am beginning to feel like I did months back when I needed a break. My body is tired…
