Hello faithful readers!

So I have been drinking this pre-workout drink called "N'sane" and it totally gets you pumped and gives you plenty of energy to complete a long workout.  I really love it!!

Today was Chest, Shoulders and Triceps with a 3 mile run before hand.  I select the USMC PFT program, which is a 3 mile run.  I love it, because they give you your score out of 100 afterwards.  The first time I ran it (last week) I ran it in 28:35 and got a score of 54 :/.  Today though I ran it in 27:04 and got a score of 63.  So I am improving and will only get better from here on out.  I would love to beat Sam, who ran it in 19:40, with a score of 90, but I don't foresee that happening any time soon.  I am going to list out the exercises I did with the quantity and weights.  Be kind.  FYI, I do push-ups with my knees NOT on the floor.


  1. Floor Fly's (Chest) - 4 x max (16 each set)
  2. Weighted Circles (Shoulders) - 4 x 20 (5 lbs)
  3. Side Tri-Rises (Triceps) - 4 x max (15 per side each set)
  4. 1-Arm Balance Push-ups (Chest) - 4 x max (14,16,12,7)
  5. Fly Row Press (Shoulders) - 4 x 12 (10 lbs)
  6. Front to Back Extensions (Triceps) - 4 x 12 (12.5 lbs)
  7. Double Double Dip (Chest/Triceps) - 4 x max (20,20,24,24)
  8. Slow Mo Throws (Shoulders) - 4 x 12 (5 lbs)
**If you have any questions about any of the moves just let me know :)

Also, I did not stop sweating the entire workout...it was glorious.

I'm back with a goal

To anyone who cares enough to read...I have given up all desserts/sweets for 6 months while Sam is gone and am determined more than ever to get in the best shape of my life.  I finally have a gym membership again and am lifting weights, doing cardio, and starting yoga up.

So far I am doing okay with the no desserts and don't really miss them.

2 1/2 eggs
Juiced fruit (15 oz.)
Beef jerky
Almonds
Protein bar
Apple with almond butter
Half a string cheese
Ground turkey sauteed with bell peppers, tomatoes and onion
