Hello Everyone,
The good thing about the start of the semester is that I am back at school, and on a set schedule. This makes it easier to fit in my workouts, and made the end of today, feel really, really good. Needless to say, walking into the Athletic and Fitness Center felt like coming home. Okay, maybe not that good but close enough. This year, I felt like I belonged and that is what its all about. So todays routine was simple, but I do have softball starting up again soon and do not want to do too much too soon and risk hurting myself and missing another season.
Today consisted of talking with my coach. Then speaking to my favorite Athletic Trainer about getting me onto a core/stabilization strengthening program which starts tomorrow, and then heading up to the fitness room for an hour. That hour consisted of ellipticalling(if that is a word) for half an hour, and then arm work in the manner of tricep dips, forearm extensions, bicep curls, bench press, military pull downs, lat pulldowns and then the one that I can never remember the name of(but in practice its the one where you essentially hug yourself, then hug the world with weights).
Needless to say, I may be sore tomorrow, but it will all be worth it.
Breaking in the New Shoes,
Laurel Lee

Oops
Long time, no posting.
Since I have been gone, I have not really done anything good to help myself into an exercise routine besides choose healthier foods and quit drinking soda. Now I am freaking out because class starts again in about a week and a half, and I have lost a grand total of 6 lbs this summer. Lucky me its a noticeable 6 lbs. Here is to posting on a weekly basis from now on. Even if its only a review of my newest exercise, or a fun recipe, or just a generalization of my week.
Here are some pictures to sow my progress and to hopefully inspire myself to work out a bit more, and help myself while being happy with myself.
So there is me at 178.5 lbs, on my way to be a happy 160ish.
Now for a happy lunch recipe.
Take a tilapia fillet and add a tablespoon of olive oil, a dash of garlic salt, pepper, and some oregano. Allow this to slowly cook in a skillet for a few minutes until the tilapia is firm yet flaky. While the tilapia is cooking, make some instant brown rice using chicken stock instead of water, and season with salt, pepper, and oregano to allow the flavors to flow. Once that is done, and the tilapia is almost done, add a handful of spinach to the fish and allow it to cook down quickly. Once its done, you are able to enjoy.
Have fun!
