Updates.......
Where HAS the time gone? This week has simply FLOWN right by me!!!
Today was my FAVORITE cardio session - the HIIT followed by lunges on the incline treadmill - my gosh I DO love this feeling!!!! And what a metabolism boost! I am simply STARVING all day! Which I think is GREAT - since my "reshoot" is officially booked for November 20th!
I am VERY excited to do the next shoot!! I decide to stick with this photographer - since I am so comfortable with them, and they are SO open to suggestions. We'll all just have to patient for the "results" that's all. I broke down and bought an official Figure Posing DVD - which came in today's mail, so I'll have to work on more effective poses over the next 4 weeks.
XBF will be my "driver" again. I was so excited/nervous/starving last time - and the photographer is 45 min away - so I thought it best not to drive myself. I'll make sure we bring a camera so we at least have a sneak "preview" this time around.
I had to laugh at the comments about my new favorite cardio session! I must confess - while it IS my favorite - I can only do it on Wednesdays, exactly 5 days after my leg session and 2 days prior to the NEXT leg lifting session. I tried to do an "extra" one last week - appparently I wasn't fully recovered - since I was unable/unwilling to finish. But it's a great midweek boost - literally - LOL!!!!
Kerry - in response to your BEAUTIFUL picture and story - I tried some fennel this week. I LOVE licorice - and this is a veggie that tastes like licorice - who knew?! I can NOT believe I waited this long to discover it!!!! I put some in my salad - of course - but I can't wait to try it cooked. If you have some recipes - please drop me a note - at the very least I'm thinking it will be tasty in some stew this weekend - since it's now officially cold and dreary here, aka FALL.
And Carolyn - you're crackin' me up with your "kettle mission" - LOL!!! I feel the need to share with the world that it takes you 4 WHOLE minutes to heat your water to make tea - as compared to my 90sec:) In 4 minutes I can make and consume a cup of hot tea:) I should mention that I've seen kettles at stores, but they're the type that you heat on the stove - none that you plug in and turn on. And I've asked around at work, patients too, and not a one uses a tea kettle to make tea. A few folks "collect" tea pots, some put flowers in them - but nobody around me has the "patience" for water to boil this way. Not even the senior citizens - LOL!
Steve - tonight I watched "Over the Hedge" - I thought of you!!!!! The little critters made me think of Brian and our BB days, and chosing a nice "furry" movie over a seasonal horror flick......... well.....you know:)
One last update.....you guys might remember Yank - my gym "buddy" who lost over 150lbs and ran in 2 marathons - when I have not, and probably never will, run in one. He's been M.I.A. for sometime now. I thought he was having his extra "skin" removed, but my poor buddy somehow broke his collar bone at work. I am happy to report that he returned to the gym this morning and after having 6 weeks with NO training, he only gained a couple of pounds. I don't know that even I could be that responsible with NO training!!!!! AND he's right back at it - with the right attitude!!!!!!
He TRULY is an inspiration!!!!!!
Hope all is well with you guys!!!!!!
