2 Year Birthday

It's my Dreamingofarnold's 2nd Birthday!  Here is a look back at the last year with clips from different posts....

I have been cruising on for some time now with no clear goals or direction as to what I want to accomplish.  So many times I have said I want to do that or try that.  Only to get caught up in my usual routine and not get them done or even tried.  I don't want to be that person.  So, I have come up with a bucket list of sorts for me to reach in 2012. 

  • Drop and keep weight at or below 145lbs  
  • Pullups unassisted for 8
  • Bench press 100lbs for 5
  • Consistent diet, allowing cheats that are either planned or holidays
  • Increase cardio
  • Yoga at least 1 day a week
  • Spin at least 1 day a week
  • Crossfit at least 1 day a week
  • Olympic style lifts (incorporate at least one in every weight training workout)
  • Run a 5K and a 10K

What do you eat when you can not eat another piece of chicken? What is your go to food, your off chicken for a week food, your I can not stand another piece of chicken food?

Is your butt your 2nd face?

Change is coming!

Just feel it in my bones.  Life is good! 

 see ladies you can start anytime like a Thursday night it doesn't have to be Monday morning!

Thank you Harley for doing my very 1st interview and especially for making my 300th post the best yet!  I love you and am so proud of all you have done.  (And I truly appreciate each and every workout you do to make that gorgeous bod)   :)

My babies are soon to pass me up.....or so they think  ;)

 

As I am sure you have heard here in Louisiana we have been dealing with Hurricane Isaac all week.

Big boobs aren't so great.  -I was wearing a 40DD, each time I moved my arms, my inner arm would rub against the side of my pretend boobs, it was driving me nuts!  Definitely would not want a pair 40 DD's. 

If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people. - Thich Nhat Hanh


Another year come and gone.  Where am I another year later?  I am much stronger, more muscular, more informed/educated, and much more willing to do what it takes to succeed.  It is truly a journey and one in which I know I will never reach the destination as I do not foresee me ever not having "something" to work on.  I love you guys here who blog with me, who offer support, kind words of encouragement, and a way for me to see into your own struggles therefore helping me through mine.  This blog has meant more to me than I can express in mere words, but know I do put alot out there for you guys to see in hopes it will help you in your journey for a healthier you.  I can definitely attest to slow gains.  No one would ever accuse me of being genetically gifted or naturally muscular.  Each part of my body has been worked on and some much more than others.  Thanks for taking this walk down memory lane.
