Re: Love2liftkat's training log

You are doing so great! Such an inspiration. You make me want to get my ass back in the gym,lol

Thank you so much! You're too kind!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! We are on the road traveling to see family. A nice 13-13.5 HR drive'[emoji15] The weather has been pretty and the traffic hasn't been too bad so those make it much better! Will be staying for a few days and then going to an indoor water park with the kids on the way back. I'll try to stop in here to keep up but won't be on much.

Calves, abs, cardio, and stretching


Today was a rest day but I went for cardio/conditioning and abs.

Did a mix of steady state incline walking, medicine ball circuits, planks, weighted/be ab work. Also did some handstands just to work on stability.

I have throughly been enjoying my grilled chicken, broccoli, and sweet potatoes as I am back to me regular routine. I had slacked off nutrition from Christmas through the new year as we were traveling and such. My biggest downfall is sweets. (Once a fat girl always a fat girl at heart lol)

Thank you! Things went well. He said I definitely need ablation of both great saphenous veins. Just praying insurance will pay. There's a contract exclusion that is supposed to be gone as of this year but it was still on the insurance's site.
