Still here...still going strong

Wow..it's been awhile since i've posted! Things have been busy: work, kids, work, kids kids kids. We just got through the USAG season with the little one, and cheer season is almost over for the bigger one. Whew! I am looking forward to a break!

That being said, I have not taken a break! I'm still growing strong. Although, I recently subluxated (read: popped out) another rib, so i'm taking it a bit easy. Pushups seem to be the culprit, as well as heavy lifting over my head. I've gone down from curling 25s to 15s for a while. I'm hoping that the change in weight will give my muscles ample time to relax and reform around my vertebrae, offering better resistance to the ever-loving popping out ribs. I'm a bit sick and tired of it.

For the past few months, i've been sticking to my OWN routine--not following anything by the books, but just going at it on my own. 3 days of cardio, 2 days of weights. I like it; my body seems to like it. I haven't been as strict on my diet, and my tummy shows it. I'm a little poofy around the midsection, but i know a week of clean eating will get rid of that--no weight gain, so no big whoop.

Worked arms yesterday, and those 15s (with lots of reps) gave me a pretty good hurt. :)

Take care, all! Remember to keep pushing play--you're all worth it!!
