We are officially in crazy-over-scheduled-preparing-to-deploy-trips-vacation-mode. And it is so stressful. I am honestly thisclose to having a total breakdown. Like I mentioned last week, this is one of the reasons I so enjoy working out. I’m nervous about the next several weeks because we’ll be traveling and I obviously won’t have the Total Gym with me. I’ll fit in walks and maybe a hotel treadmill, but I really don’t want to lose any of the strength or endurance I’ve built. (I’ve worked up to a level 4 on many exercises!)
Today we had a little farewell for my husband at his work. We took a family photo out by the plane. And, do you know what I noticed in this picture?
Not my son acting crazy, or my daughter distracted or my good looking husband. No, I am totally staring at MY ARM! Look, there’s, like, definition.
Okay, so I just showed my husband and he wasn’t all that impressed. Whatever. I can tell a difference in my arms – among other more muscle-y parts – and I like it.

Thank you, Shannon!

October 8, 2010Well, I’m impressed
it’s not easy for women to bulk up as fast as men (although what you have is lean muscle and definitely not bulk)
You’re doing great!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
I’ve been mostly doing the “Long & Lean” Total Gym work out, which I really like.

October 8, 2010That’s amazing!!! I need to start working on getting back into shape….I’m moving past the survival mode! haha!
It’s hard to find the time, that’s for sure. I’ve been working out at night after the kids go to bed – which I obviously couldn’t do if I had to go to a gym.

October 8, 2010I see that nice tone in your arm! Very nice.
Thank you for saying that. Even if it’s not as obvious as I like to think it is.
