Lotsa Protein shakes this week!
I really miss the yummy drinks! The vanilla almond was the most delicious thing ever! I am having a hard time eating healthy this week! I'm cutting calories a bit and just haven't had much of an appetite for healthy stuff, so it's just been lots of protein shakes!!! Well, Lord knows I love my protein shakes!

My first Juice fast intro... more to come
So after some research I decided to do a juice fast from the company Urban Remedy! I initially wanted to by my own juicer, but the one I wanted was $400.00 and I was worried I wouldn't have time to juice 50lbs of fruits and vegetables plus clean my juicer! Call me lazy but I decided my first juice fast experience I should pay the extra money for someone else to do the work for me (and extra for shipping $32.00!)
I read a lot of review and chose Urban Remedy mostly because they had high ratings in taste, customer service and effectiveness!

Where have I been???
Where have I been you ask??? And why have I been neglecting my blog?
The answer- one word "Exhaustion!"
No, seriously, when school started I have just been so busy trying to keep my new "go getter" principal happy, run my kids here and there, be the good lil' wife that I am and still get about six workouts in a week. The holidays were very crazy for us this year. It seemed more so this year than previous years. I guess that was all the Christmas parties and lots of Christmases with different groups of our family.
Anyway,,, excuses, excuses,,, but the good thing is that since September, the only thing I've really neglected, from being so busy, are my two hobbies: Scrapbookin' and blogin'! I'm proud to say, I've keep up on my crazy workout schedule and therefore I'm feeling stronger and stronger every month!
So to my three loyal blog readers- I sincerely apologize for my lack of commitment these last few months. Now that it is January, my New Year's Resolution is to make a blog entry at least once a week! WISH ME LUCK!
Hope you all are having a wonderful start to your new year... I hope you are setting some goals of some great things you want to accomplish in 2013! Make it a great year!~ and be blessed!

Arm workout- focusing on the biceps!
The last post was focusing on a Tricep workout so 4 days later I did this workout focusing on my Biceps! YES,,, they too were sore. Therefore, I pretty much had sore arms ALL WEEK! Which was AWESOME!
ENJOY!
Warmup- (lower weight, more reps)
Cable bicep curl 30 reps, (30 lbs)
WORKOUT: 5x through (drop your weight the last two sets if you need to)
no rest between exercises but take a 60-90 second rest between sets! The timing and order of this workout matters!
1) Alternating Bicep DumbBells hammer curls- 20 reps (25lb DBs)
2) Tricep DB overhead extension 15 reps- (25lb DB)
3) Supine cable curls (flat on your back- get full range of motion) 15 reps (50lbs)
4) Bicep Rope cable curl 10 reps 40 lbs) BURN BABBBYYYYY!~
ENJOY!
