I have now been lifting for about three months. The reason why I say around three months is because I have taken some days and weeks off for illnesses, vacations, and all around life. I am not guilty about that and no one should be because life happens and you can't change that. All you have to do is start back up again. I am proud to say that my breaks have not hindered my goals and aspirations, because I am now currently wearing a pair of shorts that I could not get past three inches above my knees three months ago. I am also able to fit in almost all of my old shorts and I tried on a size 4 dress yesterday and it fit. I also, am working on my intake of water which needs to be considerably upped, but I can successfully say I have mostly cut soda out of my daily life and only drink it on occasions now. My next goal is to be able to fit in all of my shorts (comfortably) by my birthday which is in June. I also need to strive to do more cardio on my cardio only days. Other than that I am doing FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!
Just decided to do interval running and some minor ab work this morning.
Abs included crunches, Russian twists, and weighted v-ups. I did leg day today!! I think it is my new favorite. I officially am now
able to squat 100 POUNDS!!!! I just did running for my cardio. (the website is no longer linking directly to the specific date so this workout is 10/28/2012) Fitness Barbie Workout: http://www.fitnessbarbielaurengleisberg.com/ Nothing new with shoulders tonight. I just went to the gym did my
workout and left. However, I do feel 100% after going because this was my first time since being sick that I was able to go to the gym. I will not be able to work out tomorrow though because it is A's senior lacrosse game and if they win this he will be going to the SELC Championships!!!! I am so excited to go cheer him on!!!!!

I didn't go Monday because I am fighting a cold and also I got a mild concussion on Friday, so I figured I needed to wait at least four days before I got back to heavy lifting. It was nice and it actually focused my mind which I was happy about because I have been feeling like a complete airhead the past couple of days due to me mixing things up, forgetting things, and lacking the ability to focus on anything without it being an arduous task. A told me that since I had a week off of weights that my strength may have dipped a little and I might not be lifting my usual amount, but I was surprised that I not only was able to lift what I was lifting before my week off, but I was able to up some of my weights by ten pounds. I am now squatting 85 pounds and closer to my goal of being able to squat A just for the pure fun of it!!! (he told me that would be cool if I could)
