I haven’t done a very good of getting to the gym this week. I finally broke down and went today. Really didn’t want to be there but glad I went.

My hairs has started to grow again and I am trying to decide if I should let it grow or cut it all off again.

Can I have your spot on the sofa? Never mind, I’ll just take it when you get up.

Didn’t make it out for Decadence last night so made up for it tonight. Had a great time at the Phoenix block party.

Went out in all the madness and got some sushi tonight. Ate less than we normally do but it was fantastic.

Had a decent workout today. It was going to be a leg day but the husband slipped and hurt his knee so we ended up doing a mix of upper body.

A bit blurry, but the husband got a pretty good picture of the two of us at the gym the other day.

I understand why people hate leg day but I am starting to get those big strong thunder thighs.

Had a decent workout today but really need to get my upper body volumes up. The husband says he is seeing a lot of change, and more definition, but I just don’t see it.

Was at the gym today and noticed this between the back and bottom of the chest press machine. Poor guy looks like he has seen some sh!t that has truly traumatized him.

Haven’t been to the gym in a few days, and really wasn’t looking forward to it tonight, but had a decent workout. Especially for not wanting to be there.

If you ever find yourself craving Chinese food, while in New Orleans, Miss Shirley’s is the place to go. In my opinion, she has the best Chinese and Dim Sum in the city.

My coworker for the day. She loves to lounge on my office sofa while watching me work.

I love that I can work from home and can sit around in shorts during meetings.

Tonks is enjoying her time in the sun but it didn’t last too long. She decided she was over the heat and wanted to go inside.

The husband and I are approaching our 18th wedding anniversary, marking 24 years together, so we started our celebration with lunch at N7 in New Orleans. As with most meals we over did a little.

t’s that time of year. Corporations have started trying to convince us how they are pro gay pride but I think some of them are kind of suspect.

Managed to motivate myself to workout on this rainy Saturday and it kicked my glutes. The seated calf raises, with weights, is so much harder for me than the calf raise machine. I was still able to get my last set up to 10x165 and hit my best on the leg press with a set of 10x360.

We had a great lunch at Bratz Ya’ll today but got caught sitting outside when the storms came. Luckily we were in an area where we were shaded from the rain so didn’t get wet.

Watching the final episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”. It’s sad to see it come to an end and made sadder for the reason it is coming to an end.

Had a really good workout tonight. Hit an all time best of 260 on the calf press so that made me happy.

Today was leg day. It’s my husband’s opinion that a beginner should not be able to 140 pounds on the seated calf raise but I managed to hit 12, on the third rep, before calling it quits. The first two reps were only 115x25 and 125x19. (The calf pick was taken while I was going the rear kick)

I have only been at it for a few months but starting to see some improvements. Every little bit counts.

It’s a decent day out so we came out to Bacchanal for some wine and cheese for lunch. One of the selections was a truffle vegan cheese that was amazing.

Was not feeling motivated tonight, but determined to keep up the workouts now matter what, so only got 28 minutes in tonight. Focused in the legs so still a good workout.

The husband and I went to the Joint for lunch today. He was able to get their last pastrami sandwich but I got the burnt ends sandwich and it was amazing.

The husband wanted Thai for dinner last night but it was storming so we stayed in. To make up for it, we went to Budsi’s for lunch today. It was all amazing but my favorites were the mushroom larb and the duck ramen.
