Get Motivated With These Inspirational Quotes | Women’s Health Magazine.
Great quotes found in this free pdf. I like to read all sorts of quotes to help me reach my goals.
Start (and Stick to) a Strength Training Program in 2010 – That’s Fit.
Lots of articles around this time of year focus on getting in shape. The beginning of the year the gyms will be crowded with good intentions. I figure the more people read about getting in shape, the higher chance that something will stick.
Try Chef Meg’s Island Chicken with Pineapple Salsa.
I love Pineapple and am goin to try this healthier version of Island Chicken. Let me know if you do try it…
Wholly Guacamole – America’s #1 Guacamole.
Have you tried this Guac? I served it at a party recently and it received rave reviews. I offered the Pico de Gallo style which has 40 calories a serving. They also have snack packs at 100 calories a serving. I was in heaven! They sell them at Target and Wegmans, so check it out if you are lookin for some tasty guac that won’t cost too many calories.

The workout for Weds group session from Plumbline Training:
We did straddle jumps, straddle crunch, and fast jumps on the BOSU for 3 rounds.
Core training was stability ball mania: ball exchange, scissor twists, and crunches & ended with Supermans and hip missions. The Supermans and hip missions work your lower back. A strong lower back is the foundation for almost everything else!
Then we started the 2 round workout: AMRepsAP
hang cleans 85lbs – full disclosure: I had a lot of problems with this one today. I seem to have a mental block on doing these. Its probably my form that needs adjusting because with that heavy weight, form is everything. I can do 65lbs no issue at all.
overhead squats 75lbs (2)
bench press 100lbs (5)
stability ball exchange
one arm hang cleans 35lbs
PT Station was 25lb dumbbell push press squats, and then jump rope (your weight) 15, 12, 9 reps for time. My time was not much of an improvement from the previous session.
With our week off last week, this session was tough. The weights seemed harder and I seemed out of whack. It will take getting back to my routine with work and eating to get me back on track I am sure.
I am back down to the weight I was 2 weeks ago which is great considering the holidays are here! And although I did eat off my plan, I have tried to be fairly conscious of what I am eating. Everything is in moderation.
I thought I would share with you the beautiful sunrise that I drove home in today. Although this is taken with a Crackberry so you can’t really see the gorgeous pink and purple hues – it was really breathtaking.
What a great way to start off the day – a great workout and driving home looking at something so beautiful.
Hope your day is filled with the same!
