I have increased my lift since April 2022...a whopping 120 #! Lol! Yes! That's right! That's what consistency, diet, and training plans can do!

I hit my new PR last weekend at 320 # for 8 reps my first set!

I reviewed my journey this week before posting. April 2022, I was at 200 # for 8 reps, but after a month of no progress, I realized when changing up my program, I was using other muscles more than my target muscle, my glutes, to move the 200 #. It's painful to take a step back and drop weight, but it's necessary if you are in need of form correction, and I did that.

I started my fitness journey in my late 40's. I'm stronger today at age 57, than I have ever been, and you can do the same. As we age, part of the natural process is loss of muscle mass. If you aren't lifting, you are doing nothing to maintain what strength you had yesterday. I'm hear to tell you, while building and maintaining muscle mass as you age isn't as easy as when you are younger, it's not impossible. Start where you are and enjoy the journey!

~The Empowerment Project~

Do they see how broken she is inside,
Sitting alone, mind on su***de,
Beauty for ashes,
Marked by fire,
Her soul is restless,
Mind is wired,
Her spirit fillled with anxiety and fear,
She wishes she could just make herself disappear,
Cutting she looks for some relief,
Her scars a reflection of her anguish, her grief,
A diversion, something to numb her sadness, her pain,
Her weary mind longs to just feel normal again,
Pushing her plate away,
Standing on a scale,
No escaping this body,
No escaping this hell,
Would anyone miss her,
Would anyone care
Walking by her, a ghost, like she isn't even there
Her body a warzone
Mind a battlefield
But through this storm
Her strength will be revealed
Pushing back against
The wind and rain
She will not be over taken by this hurricane
She is beautiful
She is strong
She must take back her power
She must continue to move on
A moment in time stolen
But only she holds the key
To taking back her life
And truly setting herself free

April is sexual assault awareness month. I AM a sexual assault survivor. This poem describes how sexual assault can impact someone's life. If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, there is hope. Is someone you know struggling with emotional issues, an eating disorder, disordered sleep or self harm? They may also be struggling to deal with a sexual assault. Talk to them. RAINN.org is a great place to start. They can get you or your loved one the counseling needed to get through this and move from victim to survivor.

You are strong.
You are beautiful.
You are loved.
You are not alone.

Things you do when the power goes out... again.

Candlelight speedbag...

Candlelight cards... may have been some accidental cheating, because I could not see the cards well.😆

Candlelight ab workout

Hide the toy, search find game with the dogs... They had a blast.

Going on 20 hours without power. Kudos to our ancestors.

Posting my New Year's post a little late. Why, because one of my New Year's resolutions is to spend more time focusing on those right in front of me and less time on my phone. Lol!

I rang in the New Year out dancing with my son Mike, who is here visiting for the holidays! Its been almost 3 years since I last saw him, so this was a special holiday season, having all of my kids home❤️!

We had a great time! I remember dancing with this guy in the middle of the kitchen when he was a little boy, now he towers over me.

One of my best New Year's Eves ever! I love to dance and so does he! Dancing is a great way to get in some fun exercise! I would advise against high heels though, although heels do complete my look. Lol!

Happy New Year to everyone. May 2023 bring you much love, prosperity and laughter.

Home leg day finisher, Ball pistol squats are tough enough on their own, because there is a balance component with the ball, but do this after Bulgarian split squats, reverse lunges and goblet squats. Fun times!
