Full Speed Ahead....

I made it through my first week back at training! I also dropped my Microbiology class after reading the simply awful reviews of the instructor, which will make for a stacked spring quarter, but with planning the wedding for April 10, training for shows this summer, and everything in between....I'm glad that I'm fortunate enough to take it easy during the winter quarter.

Great leg workout yesterday, and dare I say...looking forward to training shoulders today. We'll see if I can type later on this morning....

Training Day #1!!!

Won't be posting THAT every day....

Today was my very first "real" day of training for 2010! Although I was released by the doctor to do cardio after surgery on the 9th of December, I wasn't allowed to lift....which was DIFFICULT! I haven't had a true off season, and to go from training for SIX shows in 2009 to limited mobility was a struggle and I'm truly grateful to everyone who had to listen to me gripe about it! :)

Mondays are typically leg days, and what a great way to celebrate my birthday!!! Truly....six sets of extensions. Seated curls. Smith squats. Single leg leg-press...sigh. Happiness, once again! And round it out with 40 minutes on the Beast and abs. Can't wait to see my transformation THIS season!

Finally! Back at it!!! Whoop!

So....after five weeks away from the weights....I finally got to enjoy my first leg workout of 2010!!! And yes...enjoy is absolutely the right choice of words. Walking lunges, step ups, extensions, seated curls, standing curls....my legs were wobbling at the end of the workout, but it was worth every single drop of sweat!

Friday is my final follow-up doctor's appointment, and I'm REALLY hoping that he'll release me and I can FINALLY lift my arms over my head....and start hitting the weights hard! I'm so excited for 2010, and to compete and bring my best physique yet to the stage!

Also...loving the step mill and stairclimber...5 or 6 40 minute sessions a week, and working on the ham/glute tie-in....I'm determined to have a backside that is UNMATCHED this year!

2010....SMART goals...

Where did time go? I'm back at the blogging...

New for 2010:

1. I started school Monday, and am currently taking Microbiology 260 and Nutrition 251. I only have 5 classes after this quarter before I can apply to WSU Spokane to pursue my Bachelor's degree in Exercise Physiology and Metabolism. Woo hoo!

2. I finished 3rd out of approximately 32 or so competitors at the 2009 Nationals in Fort Lauderdale....PRO CARD IN 2010!!!! That's my goal!

3. Planning a wedding for April 10, 2010.

4. Training hard and taking care of my body after beating it up with 2 local shows and 4 national shows last year!

I can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for me---personally, professionally, physically, AND emotionally---so here's to a successful year!
