Back and biceps down!
It’s lame but if I type out here that I’m going to do a workout, my thoughts of an invisible audience of however many people always makes me do it, even if nobody is reading the post.
So, I’m happy to say I got to the planned back and biceps workout I missed yesterday by being a creature of the night on Thursday/Friday morning. I would rank my back as weak area #2 behind...

…and my planned workout is entirely indoors. Bad weather makes me SO LAZY!! Mind over matter — again, if i don’t check back in saying I got to back/biceps, let the public shaming commence. ;)

I tried that too. It was ok, I felt the coconut was a little overpowering. I mixed it w/ protein powder and it was almost sickeningly sweet.
Yeah it’s weird… I’m going to go back and look at the ingredients list again because to me it kinda just tastes like almond milk spiked with...

Totally screwed up my sleep schedule again!
I think I’m just going to embrace the fact that I get into my creative flow around 10 p.m. or much later… Now, if only OTHER people would embrace that and stop blowing up my phone all morning. Hah.
It’s challenging being a natural night owl having to deal with people in the “real world!”

good casein protein!
Trying to get better about having that at night instead of entire pints of Arctic Zero, haha. Too bad cottage cheese has SO much sodium — and seriously no regular grocery store around here has the low-sodium kind. I guess that’s some relatively esoteric item for the local...

Live Fit Week 3 Leg Day.. !)@(*!@#&)(!
I LOVE leg day… but I HATE IT. Today was awesome/horrendous. The nice thing though is my heart rate got pretty damn elevated so I don’t feel bad about the lack of cardio. I wouldn’t be able to do any right now anyways because my legs are SHAKING.
Did I mention I HATE LUNGES? Well, I do, but that’s okay because today marked the return of my favorite lift ever: the deadlift!...

siriusscientist replied to your link: Thought I would share this: coupon code for ‘Hunger Games’ e-books for $0.83 - $1.16
where do you tend to get your ebooks from? I normally check ebooks out from our library or purchase through B&N (I have a nook, not kindle). Have you started the books yet, if so what do you think?
Oh wow! My local library system is not that advanced yet,...

I saw the movie without reading the books (horror of horrors). If you’re like me and are into ebooks, check out this link — it does, in fact, work; I just bought the first one for 83 cents. You just have to do some file conversion to get it into Kindle format, if that’s your thing, and someone explains it in the comments there.

Live Fit Trainer, Week 3, 1st Shoulders/Abs...
Yeah, these are DEFINITELY going to be the areas I train twice weekly. My shoulders suck! I’m okay with upward pressing movements but anything that isolates the sides or rear, forget it. Booo. No worries, I’m excited about improving them — and never touching brightly colored, Neoprene-covered dumbbells again.

Standing barbell shoulder press (subbed for seated BB...

Time to work out!
This is going to FEEL SO AWESOME. It’s week three of Live Fit so I believe the rep numbers change now and the weights get heavier… fun fun fun.
Miraculously I squeezed all my workouts into the early part of last week so the only one I really missed was legs, which I am not going to cry about because I naturally have legs like tree trunks.
HOWEVER — on this third week, it...

wow…that video is something
I know… The guy’s comments in the background are just ick and I have to wonder - WHERE ARE HER FRIENDS. I would never get like that but I know my friends would never let me make out with a tree. Oh well…

OK so of course it’s not about some chocolate-eating weight loss miracle but more about moderation, it seems, but I do love the headline. ;)

Dangerous but awesome food truck I found last...
Last night was pretty ridiculous — I was on the go starting around 5:30 p.m. and didn’t get home until about 10 hours later. Ooops. My eating was pretty terrible — not because it was full of junk, but because it was totally insufficient! I thought I would have a little more time to re-fuel but “dinner” ended up being an Atkins bar (gross) I grabbed at a drugstore.

Live Fit Trainer, Week 2, Workout 2
I think it was only like 12 hours since my last lifting session, but this afternoon/evening is about to get CRAZY, so I fit in back and biceps now… Actually I’m glad I don’t have to do cardio during this phase because it would just take too much time. However, I’m wearing my HRM and am getting my heart rate decently up there during these sessions, so there’s...

Live Fit Trainer, Week 2, Workout 1
Chest and triceps again! This was extremely late, and I was dragging ass, but I got it done, and increased weight slightly on the bench press — mostly because I started with just the bar last week as a random starting point. Actually, I wasn’t supposed to work out again until tomorrow, but I skipped a rest day to move everything up. I’m going to a three-day music festival...

I am DEFINITELY going to lift later....
….I’m just typing that so if I don’t later put up a post confirming that I did, in fact, do this, you all have the right to publicly shame me. I have to hit chest/triceps!!
I had to go out last night for work (did NOT drink!) so I’m sleep-deprived and a little low on motivation but… I’m gonna get this done.
