an update
sorry i have been away. i have a really big exam coming up in a few weeks so i’m not spending as much time on the internet or working out. i promise to update more after i take the exam on june 2nd. especially because - i’m going on vacation to Montego Bay, Jamaica at the end of June and i will definitely need to work on my beach body before then!
talk to you all soon! ♥

1.5 hours
That’s how long I just spent at the gym. 30 minutes of weights & a 1 hour dance class. I have felt a little burnt out on my workouts and am having trouble motivating myself, so I need to focus on making fitness fun for awhile rather than get caught up in following a specific program. Tonight really fit the bill!
What’s your favorite workout you have done in the last week and why?

CSA
i just signed up for this one last night & i am beyond excited about it. the thought of getting a box of 7-10 fruits, veggies or other farm goodies delivered every week is pretty exciting. i’m hoping that some of the things they provide to us are a little unusual, i think it would be fun to look up recipes & try to figure out ways to prepare things i have never had before. we also signed up to get a half-dozen farm fresh eggs every week as well! overall, it was a little pricey but i feel great being able to directly support farmers & know that most of the food that we will be getting is either organic or ‘certified naturally grown’.
have any of you ever done one? would you recommend it?

squats & my booty
when I first began this tumblr, I did full body measurements and then never followed up on using that as a measure of progress. lately, I have felt that my booty has looked extra curvaceous lately so I decided to see if I had gained any inches there. sure enough, I had - I went from 33” to 34”!
I would like to take a moment to thank squats for helping me get a little more bootylicious.

big workout today
squats, bench & deadlift. I’m pretty excited about it. then I’m going to go eat a steak at the best restaurant in town while wearing a dress that makes me feel feminine and pretty.
thursday, you are awesome.

[Flash 10 is required to watch video]
this is what happens when i’m procrastinating on actually doing productive things. i think it’s hilarious how my dog is just watching me like “….wtf”.

One benefit of lifting?
I can get out all of my frustration with this day. Had to stay late at work to make last minute revisions to a report since absolutely no one knew what was going on, then got a sarcastic & rude remark from the bus driver after I had to run in a pencil skirt & heels to catch the bus.
Not every day can be a good day, but what else can you do but take that energy and use it to lift heavy shit. ROAR.

CHANGES
- deleted the Q&A section on the side of my blog & will be making a FAQ section sometime this weekend, if you have any questions you want to be included on that section, send me a message & let me know!
- i will begin tracking my daily intake & exercise starting tomorrow, which is kind of nervewracking & exciting at the same time because then i will be publicly held accountable :)
- i will be doing the Starting Strength program beginning next week, specifically the Practical Programming Novice Program. to sum it up, it basically focuses on squats, deadlifts, pullups, & chinups. I plan to do it for a month.
have a great saturday!
