Breakfast

Leg day! I declare Saturday the worst day, so crowded at the gym!!! Oh well I wasn't there long but I did work hard the forty minutes I was.
Low back squats 95. 12-3
Deadlifts 60 15-3

Leg press 90 15-3
Calf raises 90 20-3

Leg curl 75-95-105 4x 15r

Quick but effective! Now don't mind if I eat my egg white sandwich with a bit more carb & a little cheese! Mmmm

Successful shoulder

Great day with shoulders and a run on the beach!
Tried a new shoulder work out and it was absolutely fantastic!!! Shoulder days are my favorite.
See I'm getting there, now I really need to cut so that muscle will pop ;)

Unplanned

Hate unplanned cheat meals! The worst! Haha but I think my body needed the crash course of carbs to rev up the metabolism. Watched some fitness routines tonight and feeling extremely motivated, wish I could go to the gym at 430 again but I have to stick to my rest days so I don't run myself dry! I definitely will be running at 4pm though and I can't wait! Really!

This is my motivation

Oksana grishina= INSPIRING!
This lady is amazing and a true inspiration of strength!
Most people think I'm doing this to "lose weight" I mean isn't that the first thing you think of when someone is following an eating plan and working out daily? What I love most is that losing weight is not my goal and honestly I haven't been on a scale in months, LOVE IT! I'm doing all this to gain strength, muscle, and above all else to lead a very active & healthy life until the day I die at age 105! I will be hiking and backpacking the day I die, go to sleep and wake up on the other side! Until then I will be that inspiration of health and wellness not just for my benefit but for my future family as well, an example for my kids! Never will I say I can't due to something being to hard, I will and I can.... This is my motivation.

Debating a run to the beach, but for now off to cook breakfast for my lover boy & his brother!
Someday I will have these legs! Huge I know, but so cut and can you imagine the power behind these things!

Done

4:30 alarm rings and guess who was up?! Yeah me! Shoulders, chest, and a little tricep with 20 minute stairmaster! I may be sweating to death but I've never felt more alive!!!

Sunday funday

For my lovely day of rest I will be taking care of my soul, in all ways! :) church, pre-cooking all my meals for the week, a little but of study, and maybe end with a walk on the beach! These two days of rest were hard, I really wanted to go running this morning since I didn't workout yesterday.
Feeling motivated for an awesome week at the gym though! I'm starting my cutting regimen which means a lot of high intensity and sweating, oh how I can't wait!
Now here comes my breakfast of champions, egg white omelette with turkey bacon and veggies mmmmm!

Pre-req

"do you have to be pretty to be a Mormon?, everyone I met that's mormon is beautiful" haha just got asked that by one of my employees! What sweetie and yea in case you didn't know LDS requires beauty as it's pre requisite ;) totally kidding but hey I'll take the compliment!

New hobbie

I haven't posted in mOnths!!! Well I picked up a new hobby and am posting all about it strictly to keep me going, they say blogging is an online journal so that's what this will be! To many this will be boring but as stated before its strictly to keep me going.
So what's my new hobby? NPC competing! Can't figure out how to post a pic through the iPhone so more to come later.

I'm 9 weeks out from my second Npc bikini division show and have been struggling with motivation this week, I'm taking today and tomorrow totally off from the gym (though Sunday are my natural rest day anyway) and recouping to really hit it hard the next 9 weeks. For many that sounds forever away but I have so much to do, holiday sort if cramped my style and I really want to place this competition, número UNO! :)

This past week I've slept through my alarm and I can't do that anymore, it's so much easier training while everyone is sleeping which means getting up at 4:30 am. No more sleeping in, early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise!
March 17th here I come! And below is what NPC bikini competition is like. My final destination will be figure, just need to put that muscle on!

All Grown Up

Firsts Spence and I have experienced the past 3 weeks....

1.  Grocery shopping together... Yes we had never been officially grocery shopping, list, budget and all
2. Teaching Spence how to start the dishwasher
3. screaming at each other and not having to worry whose outside our bedroom door.... ha ha ok we actually haven't done this one but hey it's nice to know if it does happen we won't have to worry!
4. Waking up with out a "hey spencer, you up?" from his parentals
5. knowing NO ONE is going to just walk in... if you know what I mean ;) haha

Yes we've been married a year and a half and have not done these things, it's time for us to grow up, spread our wings and fly!! and boy we're we ready!!!!!
 We are now living in La Jolla, for those who don't know where that is basically we can throw a rock and it'll just about land on the beach.... but only if I'm throwing it. We LOVE it, California has now captured our hearts and as far as we know we are here to stay for the long haul!

One of the many projects i'm up to today, I drew this up on floorplanner.com to get a better idea for color scheme

Life is wonderful, crazy, and so much fun!! I pretend we've grown up but we are two goofy people!!   Today is my first saturday off in a LONG time, sadly spence is at work so I decided to jump into decorating/organizing our place. All our furniture was free, thanks to the fabulous Darlene, though it isn't our first choice I like the character it brings and don't worry I'll be ruining things here in a bit trying to renovate anyway.  So now that my floorplan is put together i'll be playing with color scheme for paint! I'm absolutely HORRIBLE with taking pictures, but i'm really going to TRY do before/after! LOVE YOU ALL  Kisses Muah......
