Starting a New Round of Body Beast

Boring title eh? Yeah well, it's just the facts ma'am.. I finished up a round of P90X2 because it has lots of balance, cores strength and stability moves and I was feeling kind of stiff from two rounds of Body Beast. If you don't know Body Beast is a 100% weightlifting program. Now, I am heading on back to Body Beast.. I'm on day three and unfortunately I was limited on time this morning, so instead of skipping the workout, I did the back portion of Back & Bi's and I'll try to get Bi's in tonight. I will say that my legs are killing me from the legs workout yesterday, and yes, I like the soreness!!

I'm also trying to start a garden in my yard, so in the off week last week, I decided to dig up the "grass" (read WEEDS) that are in my yard.. Not an easy chore if all you're working with is a shovel! So it was really slow going but I did make a little headway. I'm planning on planting kale, spinach, broccoli, green beans, arugula and sunflowers.. I'm sure there's more.. If you look at the pics, at the back of the garden there are some white flowers that I shoveled around, these were arugula that I planted two years ago that somehow came back, and they were very pretty and quite tasty really.. I'm going to show you how beautiful these flowers were.


Day one
Day four




Such pretty little flowers, I just couldn't tear them out!!!

This was my haul.. not bad I'd say!
 
I'm looking forward to lifting heavier weight and decreasing my time spent working out. I'm trying to get myself to a place where I'm not spacing out and I'm just moving forward quickly and with Umph!
I think I'm going to post more and more here and maybe I'll feel like I am more accountable. I don't miss my workouts, I just don't always attack them like I should lol.
I realize more than anything else, I really LOVE lifting weights! There is this incredible feeling that I have when I have to wrap my hands because I am pushing myself to lift a heavier weight that I may not be able to grip for the entire workout. I love the feeling of the soreness when I walk down and up stairs on Lag days and the days after. I love the feeling in my Tris when I suddenly realize that they are the weakest part of my arms. I love the feeling of almost smashing my face on the floor because I am so weak after that the last two triceps push ups are almost impossible..
I LOVE THIS FEELING!
Every sore muscle, every ache, every callous.. I love the feeling of my entire body pushing as hard as possible to finish the set.. I want to be doing this forever, I want this pain, this soreness, I want this... FOREVER!
