Main blog: zombiefrienchfries

Fitness is a main theme here, so I'll post a lot about it. However, you'll also come in contact with things that I find entrancing and inspiring. This is where I motivate myself to be better, and this is where I find the inspiration to bring beautiful things into the world.
This is a part of me but by no means all there is to me.
Enjoy.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

Hey-Hey-Hey.

So guys, 
I just thought I’d give you a heads up. I think I’m going to move a lot of my fitness posts to my personal blog: zombiefrenchfries.tumblr.com. Fitness has just become a huge aspect of my life and I’d love it if you guys would check this shiznit out. If you’re wondering why there’s a lot less activity here than there used to be, it’s just because everything is making it onto my personal blog.

Have a great day, guys and if you want more of me, definitely follow me on zombiefrenchfries.tumblr.com

Update

Soo…
I’ve been consistently working out five to six days a week for about the past month, however, my diet has sucked some serious shit-balls. 
I’ve got two 5 K’s coming up in June and August, and seriously guys, I’m so out of running shape, it’s pathetic.
I’ve been doing a fair bit of weight training, and some yoga and I’ve started going to spin classes to get my endurance up.

Back in the beginning of January, I went to visit my chiropractor because my shoulder had been bugging me, making weird clicks and such when I would do alternate raises and when I was running, I’d get my cramps there instead of in my side like a normal person. Sooo… he fried a ton of scar tissue in my right shoulder since my left shoulder (the one that was icky) was compensating for my right shoulder’s shitty performance. Anyway, he gave me a bunch of exercises that I need to start doing regularly again because I was able to work harder without pain in my shoulder during January and February (when I was doing my very lame shoulder exercises religiously like a good patient), but since I’ve started to run again (and forgo shoulder redemption), my shoulder’s performance sucks again…

But yeah, all in all, it’s been pretty good.

Spin class then yoga tonight…

jennischallenge: brainsbrawnbeauty: I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE You’re working your ass off. You’re running every morning. You’re eating well. You’re eating enough but not too much. You’re busting your ass in every single workout, pushing to your threshold, pouring sweat, but you’re not seeing any results. Maybe it hasn’t been long enough. Or maybe, just maybe, you’re staring at your abs and not paying attention to your perfectly defined thighs, your beastly biceps, or your seriously sexy back. One day you’re going to be putting your hair up and notice your biceps bulge in the mirror. You’ll turn around to check out your gnarly sunburn and watch the flex of your triceps and traps. You’ll see a picture of yourself reaching for something and be blown away by the definition in your legs and the cut of your thighs. You’re working for it and it’s working. Sometimes your body is changing more rapidly than you can shed fat. It’s going to come up and smack you out of nowhere. You’re going to laugh at yourself when you attempt decline pushups with your feet on a bench, then bang out 40 of them without breaking a sweat. It’s happening even if you can’t see it. Your body is evolving and changing. Give it the respect it deserves. Give it a chance to become visible. You worked for it. Don’t throw that away. You DESERVE to see it.  SUPER inspirational. Thank you! I needed this!
