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!

inside out day

lawdy-daisy!
one of those mornings,i KNEW would be off to a rough start.
when my son got dressed this morning for school,he came downstairs with his shirt inside out.
when my daughter put her socks on this morning before pre-school,they were inside out....
when i put my gym clothes on this morning,i knew they were right side in..... :)

SO,among many other things (which i will spare everyone to list) to get the day started off on the wrong foot,(yes it felt like MONDAY!!!!)
i had to drag myself to the gym,when i really wanted to go back home and not do anything productive.
workout was so-so.
very tired feeling and felt a bit under the weather,scratchy throat,tired muscles,congestion.....
but i pushed through anyways-

the workout:
short and to the point
4x15 chest press
4x15 pec dec
4x15 cable crossovers superset with
4x30 dirty 30's
4x15 skull crushers superset with
4x15 pikes on ex ball
3x15 dips hands on bench feet on exball superset with
3x15 roll outs on ex ball
3x15 weighted hip ups
ended with 30 min on elliptical-4.6 miles (boo! i really needed to RUN!)
but by this point in the workout,i was dragging in the worst way,so we cut cardio short...

after picking up alex from pre-school,we had a lunch play date set up with my workout partner and her daughter.
the little girls had fun,
we had coffee (YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

and the entire time,i had my pants on inside out
(as my workout partner informed me before i left)
HA!!!!!!

looks like me and the kids had an inside out day?

but one good thing that has really really made me feel better today is that the kids have been GREAT (knocking on wood) and have gotten ALL the chores done without being asked twice.really???awesome!
makes my afternoon go by a lot easier!

anyways, I've rambles enough...
time to start making breakfast for dinner!
hope all are having a GREAT FRIDAY!!!!
TGIF yall!
