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!

great leg workout....

so its been a while since I've done this type of workout,and i actually enjoyed it.
had to DRAG my tired self to the gym though. lil M has been really fussy the past 2 nights. her first tooth is trying to come up and it is driving her (and mommy and daddy) crazy!
running on very minimal sleep!!!!!!!
but glad i made it in the gym.
the workout:
4x24 alternating leg press jumps with
4x 30 sec squat hold
3x12 deep squats off rack
4x12 cable dead leg lift
2x70 walking lunges
4x16 traveling weighted lateral squat walk
3x 1 min wall squat hold ss w
3x15 hamstring curl on ex ball

ran out of time for long cardi but did get in about 3.3 miles in 25 minutes...i accidentally pulled the emergency stop button not once but twice,so i really dont know how far i went. i do know that at the 12 minute mark,i was at 1.66 miles,so if i double that,it is about 3.3 rounded up..... at or slightly under 8 min mile pace....
my legs were like jello again,but its all good!!!!

random side note-if i take the first letter of all my kids names and spell a word,it spells BAM!
is that a sign i watch too much food network? LOL!
which,i am craving sweet stuff soooo bad right now!
must resist the urge to stick my face in a bowl of donuts!!!!!!!

anyways.happy Thursday yall-Friday is almost here!!!!
