(see blog post about it >HERE<) Although i was super shy at the last event (in October 2010), i did meet Jarmaine (Jlovesmac1) and took a picture with her and met Suzy (MacNC40) and Lauren (QueenofBlending) and took a picture with them as well.At the last Beautylish event, i saw Anne (Yummiebitez.com) and also Heart (youtube/com/thatsheart).. but i didn't go up to them because i was EXTREMELY shy to do so! lol..I also had always wanted to meet April (AprilAthena7) and Jackie (JaaackJack on YT) - and was SO...

Gym Session :: 03/24/2011 + new shoes! (Vibram FiveFingers)

So today I had an early eye dr appt and also another appt for my migraines/my knee.. and after those appts decided to go to the gym with hubby.So it was another leg day, but the workout would be the opposite from the other leg day i did - meaning instead of the quads being the dominant muscle worked, today's leg workout focused on the hamstrings and just worked out the quads lightly.here is what I did..Hamstrings/Glutes:- Romanian Deadlifts: i did not want to push myself to the max because of my knee pain.. but i did do the olympic bar, which totaled weight i did was 95lbs, i did 5 sets of 5 repetitions.- Good Mornings - 45lbs olympic bar no additional weights - this really put a lot of pressure on my bad knee, so i couldn't add anymore...
