dribilie

So towards the end of the year I started to ask myself "am I really getting the results that I want at home"? Unfortunately the answer was no! I dreaded the thought of the gym sincee my husband who doubles as my gym partner has been gone on orders to Japan since November leaving me to take are of everything including our 3 year old daughter by myself (who needs sleep right?). So the next question was what do I do about this? The answer- I suck it up buttercup! Went ahead and took my scrawny but to the gym and signed up, got my daughter signed up for the kids club there and now we both go to the gym 3-4 times a week!! Since the first I've lifted 62,066 lbs and thats only what I've counted, I've actually run several miles on a treadmill despite being told I wouldn't be able to do so without extreme pain by my physical therapist. It's going to be a good year guys, who's with me!!!

Particularly with the holidays (and health issues that are destroying my love of holiday food) here I've been struggling to stay consistent one well, anything. So I finally buckled down last week, ordered a night time probiotic with sleep blend, and some protein that is supposed to taste like mocha caramel (heres to hoping!) to supplement my food and try to keep my stomach in check so I can finally get back on the workout wagon! Finding time between family, decorating, and cleaning has been no easy task either. But thats it, enough is enough, I need this, my health needs this, my body needs this!! So here is the start to the next chapter, and I'll keep rewriting this broken record of a book till I get it right!! Anyone looking for a killer at home workout I highly recommend the Fit Model Fitness leg workout... I am in pain.... Split Lunge with Dumbbells 10x each leg Repeat 3 times Step-Ups 10x each leg Repeat 3 times Sumo Squat Booty Pulse 20x Repeat 3 times Dumbbell Deadlift 10x Repeat 3 times Bulgarian Split Squat (need a chair or bench) 10x each leg Repeat 3 times Sprints 100 meters 10 times

I finally have a victory for the week!!!! Besides that I cleaned my whole apartment minus the bathrooms in just this afternoon, I'm also down 5lb!! Yay controlling what I eat!

Today I dropped my husband off at the airport for his transfer to Japan for the next 2 years. We aren't sure when he'll be home next but we know it will probably be about a year before we can see him without a computer and an ocean between us. I plan to take this garbage life has handed me and work out through it. So far I've just dug through my daughters Halloween candy, it's just so good!!!

Thank you @Minna!!

This is really helpful, thank you! I'm nervous but hopeful. I'm hoping to be able to just throw a headphone in and sit back for it.

So I have to go have a Colposcopy (yay ma...not....). Has anyone else had one who can give me some insight on what to expect?? I could use some insight to help curb the anxiety about everything because at this point my head is reeling.

Nothing says top notch like an over prepared barkeep in an underground storage full of goodies

Best prize ever!

I had a 450 patient the other day that I had to move. Does that count as some weight?? I move patients almost every day and most of them aren't light.

This is pretty much my exact problem!!! I'm focusing on a lot of moves that require your stabilizing muscles because at one point I read an article that said that was the best way to get a solid core. True that

Darebee's Brute leg day workout for a total of 5000lbs!!!! Going to hurt in the morning but my butt will thank me later I'm sure! I'm up to a total of 6665lbs.

I'm an organization freak and I have a "control center" binder that has a bunch of spread sheets for passwords, budget, spending, debt payment trackers, all kinds of good stuff!! I can email them to you if you'd like them??

Ahhhh!! YEEEESSSS!!! I'm a nurse, everyone please go get this shot!!! Hospitals are not a good place to meet friends!

I'll have to get some up. We got a few more weights for it today too!! I do have a question though. We bought some resistance band equipment today that I'm pretty excited to use for leg day. How would you count that for this quest?? Just the weight rating on the band?
