Starting Friday’s 5:30 p.m. work out with an intense row was right up my alley.  Cardio baby!  I just can’t get enough. Loved every minute of it!

Yesterday while I was rowing my little heart out, unbeknown to me, my picture was being taken.   Not bad for an action shot!  I’m told that my back “is beautiful,”  “is ripped,” and  “looks great,” but I haven’t really checked it out.

My results are from eating clean (90% of the time) and consistently working out.  My big cheat… 337!!   According to medical studies, red wine contains resveratrol, which may be good for the heart— in moderation of course.  Okay- this isn’t a wine ad, so I’m done.   But really, if you enjoy a good “Cab,”  I suggest you give it a taste.

Anyway, I need to hurry along in this post.  Tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m., I’m working on this lovely back of mine.  Ahh yes, it’s only going to get better.  I’m excited!

Real quick!  Today was my first time taking the 5:30 p.m. class.  Well!  I looked around and I was the only female in the box.  Did I miss the memo?  LOL!

Working out with the fellas is highly motivating for me and it doesn’t matter if I’m running, shooting hoops or anything else.   I’m a subtle competitor who is joyful when I beat a guy at anything!  Sprinting it out across the finish line at the end of a 10-mile run in front of some guy who can’t catch me is an incredible high!  LOL!    Seriously though, guys you are encouraging!

I have to get some rest for tomorrow’s work out.

Sweet Dreams!

      I had no clue as to how my back looked until I started getting compliments at CrossFit. It is interesting how, in the past, I never focused on any particular body part. My attention goes to eating clean and consistently working out (CF & running! What you see are the amazing results! Lol! Staying AWAY from sugar helps a lot.
