Comp Stuff and Retail Therapy...

First of all-for all you competitors out there, don't forget about Jo Rogers' wonderful new Diva Consignments shop; great pre-loved outfits in fabulous condition!

Well, I have to say...I went for some retail therapy yesterday and -yup, just what the doctor ordered! I don't do much shopping, I just have to be in the totally right mood, and yesterday I was IN THE MOOD! Just the right timing too with the end of summer sales here; even though Feb 28 is the last day of summer, that doesn't mean much up in the tropics-so I can enjoy my summer sale gear for pretty much the rest of the year! I even bought a food processor, and I can't wait to try it out!

I don't usually go for the "buy something to feel better" idea...it's very non-Buddhist-grasping at something to feel good for a minute...But sometimes, a girls just gotta do what a girls gotta do-right? ;-)

Chest and shoulders tomorrow-I was planning on going for a bench press PB-but I just looked up my all time all PB from last year while training for the comp and I did a one rep max of 57K (125lbs); Last time I tried a PB was January 19-and I was only able to do 1.5 reps w/52K (just under 115lbs) for 2 sets. My shoulder gave out a bit, so I've had to rest it. So, tomorrow, I'm going to shoot for 54K for at least one full rep. My goal for this year will be to get to 60K(132lbs) for one rep-and that's at either the weight I'm at now (still 54K-119lbs) or less than that. So, there you have it!
Gotta keep challenging yourself people! Otherwise you're just shlogging along! And what's the point of that?!
And you certainly have no chance of looking like this....

if you're just shlogging!
ENJOY THE REST OF WEEK AND CHALLENGE YOURSELF!
