My Journey to the Pro stage....after the fourth baby

The greatest tragedy of man is never realizing or reaching his full potential~"Dont TALK about it,BE about it!"











WELCOME to my blogspot! I am utilizing this space as a journal of sorts,where my workouts as well as random thoughts are posted....



Now that I have a few good Pro shows under my belt,I am in "off season" until 2013,due to the VERY unexpected news of my 4th child!! In the meantime, I will be keeping a journal of how a pro athlete reclaims her pre-baby body and juggles fitness and family. I am planning a Pro show just a few months after the baby arrives, as well as gearing up to hit new PR's for 5k's,half and full marathons! My ultimate goal is to simply get better with age....(and hopefully snag an IFBB pro card and break 19 min in a 5k in the process)so come follow me on my crazy journey to the Pro-Stage and Beyond... after a fourth child!!Feel free to leave any comments or advice!

this,that and the other

so its been a few days,and a busy few days at that!

my son was out of school on Thursday and Friday,due to 4 inches of snow.

i made it to the gym on Thursday,not Friday.

Thursday was chest/triceps and 5 miles on elliptical

got in:

4x15 cable press ss with

4x30 dirty 30's

*2x5 unassisted dips*...just to see if i could. (before pregnancy 4x15 with weight..BLEH!)

giant set of:

4x12

DB chest press with arnold press

DB flys

Pushups of ex ball



4x15

skull crushers ss with

dips off bench with feet on ex ball



Friday,took lil M for 4month check up and Alex's 2nd round of the flu shot.

my lil M has a double ear infection.......again.

the only symptom she had was ear pulling and not wanting her bottle on occasion.

no fever,no cold symptoms...nothing like my other 2 kids would experience?

weird,
but she is on antibiotics.......again.

so no gym on Friday.

spent the day watching the older 2 babies play in the snow and build a snow man,and of course taking care of a grumpy lil M!!!



BUT after a LONG day of xmas shopping today,i was able to sneak in a good workout!

(*no rest between sets,just long enough to setup for next exercise*)

got in superset of:

3x1o front squats

3x15 Russian dead leg lift



superste of

4x30

DB walking lunges

4x15 hamstring curl on ex ball



superset of

4x15 lying leg curl

4x30 weighted ski lunge



superset of

4x30 lateral bench jump overs

4x30 Russian jumps from high box



superset

3x15 hip abd

3x15 hip add

then ended with 4.5 miles on the TM

running makes me happy!!!!
AND i had a BRIEF moment of happiness when i saw 6 pack abs yesterday morning!
but they faded as the day progressed...
*sigh*
someday,SOON,like next week soon,(hoping!)i will see my abs again. I'm tired of them playing peek-a-boo with me!!
20 weeks out today
7 weeks until prep is official
i am so ready.
ready to get the workouts in again
and of course the speed work!
i miss running FAST!
i miss feeling strong!
i miss my abs!

they WILL be back though,and it will be soon!
:)

hope all enjoy the rest of the weekend!

  5. Poor little baby. She just can't catch a break. Those ear infections are no fun at all, for her or you! =( Looks like two great workouts though! I love running too!!
