SOFTBALL - 3RD PLACE!
Thanks to those that wished me luck yesterday!
Well, we won our first game of the championship rounds with a nice comeback in our last inning… but then we lost our second game. Overall, we got 3rd place for the regular season and then we got 3rd place in the championship! This is exciting for us because the best season we had EVER had prior to this was 5-9, putting us in 6th or 7th of 8 teams… but this season we saw major improvements in our team (and I saw major improvement in myself) and we made it to the championship rounds for the first time and ended up 3rd! Now I have a week or two off from softball on Wednesdays before the next season starts. :)
SOFTBALL
My team made it to the playoffs in our little city league for the first time ever! Only bad thing is that the first team we are playing is the top team that only lost 1 game this season and kicked our asses twice already. :/ Wish us luck!!

GPOY I LIKE DOING COMPARISON PHOTOS
So here we go: On the left we have my finishing photo from the 2011 AZ Rock ‘n’ Roll 1/2 Marathon, weighing in at about 162lbs. On the right we have my finishing photo from the 2012 AZ Rock ‘n Roll 1/2 Marathon, weighing in at about 148lbs. These were taken Jan 16, 2011 and Jan 15, 2012 respectively, so there is basically exactly one year between them. It is amazing how much less red, tired and puffy my face and chest looks… and the armpit fat seems to be significantly less noticeable, too. Win!
I ALWAYS FEEL ACCOMPLISHED
when I finish off a tub of whey protein. Yeah baby! Today I will be starting in on a new brand of vanilla that I bought last week.
MY GOAL
in the next month is this: having to get my maid of honor dress taken in a size when it arrives. :)
I SQUATTED 100LBS
NOT WITH THE SMITH MACHINE, BUT RATHER WITH A REGULAR SQUAT RACK AND ONLY THE BARBELL, PLATES AND ME. This was my first time using the regular squat rack and I am so excited to see how far I will be able to push myself from this point! I am very proud of myself right now. Yay non-scale victory! :D

I cut out soda as my new year’s resolution for 2011. Haven’t had any soda for over a year now. :)

I can’t wait to shift my focus to strength training next week. Yay for some serious squats in my future!
full-strength replied to your photo: GPOY AZ ROCK ‘N’ ROLL HALF…
You’re pretty. And this is after you ran 13.1 miles?!
Thank you. You are very sweet. :)

I am on the right, of course. I don’t feel bad about posting this proof because I did purchase the actual photo. :)

Today I felt like I was eating all day long, and STILL HUNGRY. I guess that means I have got my metabolism going!
One of my students asked me why I go to the gym if I’m “already skinny.” It made way for a wonderful conversation about how girls can have muscles, too, and no it’s not manly.
THIS.
Tiffany is AMAZING! She was my very very very first fitspiration years ago
WOW.
