I'm going to jump in here. The Bod Pod is $25, but we had more than just that reading done. We had our VO2 done (max/threshold), as well as our resting metabolic rate and then the Bod Pod.
Just didn't anyone thinking you would get all the numbers we did from the Bod Pod, alone. We did our BF%, lean muscle mass and lbs of fat from that.

Ah, thanks, gals! I was thinking BodPod was just a BF thing but then got excited when I saw all of the other info. I'll have to see if the BodPod place up in Springdale (AR) does the other stuff as well -- that'd be what most interests me.

Default T.G.I.Summer
Okay, so maybe not summer officially, but getting hot enough that I feel I can officially stash all my pants for a few months!
Was back in forum Witness Protection last week as some last-minute business plans kept me stranded in Wisconsin for 3 freaking days. The trip was supposed to last 18 hours, so you can imagine what 3 days did to upset my OCD routine. I had driven up there in some casual shorts and had only one pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and some steel-toed boots to get me through. I had just begun to recover from my muscle strain the week before and had looked quite forward to getting back into some serious working out, but it just wasn't in the cards I guess. Finally made it home late Saturday afternoon but really needed a pool day Sunday to allow me to mentally de-compress from the stress. Enough whining. . .
Monday's Workout:
Was a sunny 91 degrees here and I loved it! Had a full dancecard of clients, but was able to make the most of the weather and enjoyed a little extra cardio while joining in on some runs, etc.
A.S.
Triceps Press-Down: 1x15x27.5, 1x12x30, 1x11x35
Lying Tricep Drop: 1x15e x 8, 1x12e x 10, 1x10e x 12
Chest Press: 1x15x15, 1x15x20, 1x12x25, 1x9x30
Push-ups: 2x15xBW, 1x13xBW
*threw in the extra set of chest presses as I wasn't feeling the "failure" thing w/the 25's.

Cardio.: 5 sets of walking lunges 30 each leg x 10 dbs
8 Butt-Kick sprints of 60 yards
8 High-Knee sprints of 60 yards
4 Hill Climb w/Glute Raise (about 45 yards??)
Ran 12 60-yard sprints, max. effort, 100 yards walking recovery
Jogged a steady 1 1/2 mile, keeping HR at target fat burn range the entire time--it was wonderful!
*cardio. done over the course of the entire day--this was NOT all completed within one single attempt.

Stupid me was so happy about the sunshine, I neglected to consider the power of the rays and am now sporting a very unattractive sunburn on my shoulders and chest. Tomorrow evening I will be returning to the "stairs of death" for some serious leg work. Even though today was pretty exhausting, I feel really good and my body is thanking me for getting back into the serious business of kicking my own ass!

Here are some photos that Ginger was kind enough to take for me so I could have some decent shots I didn't have to take myself!




She took a really good rear-view but I'm not posting because of some questionable bra-muffin grossness that I just can't get over.

Will be back on here later to catch up on posting some workouts!

I can't imagine that it's as bad as you think, as these ones look fantastic.

Did you change your hair? I don't remember the blonde being there before... but that could just be me and my terrible memory! Either way, you look great girl!

You look great! And hey - I put pics of my awful disgusting back bra-muffinn-y self, and I guarantee you don't look as bad as I do!

I was almost expecting, in that first pose, for you to be making a similar hand-gesture to your avi

Wow! I am embarrassed that it has been so long since I've been back to post!
First of all, thanks to all for the kind words on my recently posted pics. It was great to have some photos taken by someone else that aren't all jacked up and blurry! And yes, the blonde streak is new, well, about 4 months new (I'm still adjusting to it--got a wild hair one day at the salon. no pun intended)
I've been training like a crazy fiend, coming home at the end of the day with nothing left, physcially or mentally, but I feel like I'm really seeing some results from the effort, so it's all good.
Two weeks ago, several of my training clients who are friends decided they wanted to embark on a weight-loss challenge, a la "Biggest Loser" style rules, and needless to say it has resulted in some serious increases in training frequency. The first 2 weeks have been really amazing and they are all really getting into it, but personally it is a little exhausting! It's left me little time for my own workouts, so I've found myself doing 15-20 minute heavy sets trying to hit all the muscle groups within a 5-day period. I'm still really focused on developing my tris, shoulders, and back as well as leaning out my thighs and besides the heavy mini-workouts, I've been doing a shit-ton of cardio.
My weight workouts are back to either one or two muscle groups per day and I'm doing 2-3 heavy sets to reach that lovely moment of utter muscle failure. I've been trying to focus on maintaining the muscle I have, developing the above-mentioned areas and embracing the results of the cardio stripping down the fat.
As far as food,. . . I'm eating like a damn horse. I'm eating really clean, but my portions are a bit high and I'm averaging around 2000 cals./day. After some scrutiny, I realized that my fat intake was waaayyy low, so just today I'm trying to get that number up to around 40g/day versus the 20g I've been taking in. Hopefully this will help curb the monster appetite a little. Hell, even my dog is starting to look a little nervous that one day there just might not be enough protein in the house and his crazy ass ends up in a whole-wheat wrap!
Missed you all!
