Sitting in the doctor's office with my 24 yr old, she woke up with some sort of gel ball in her eye, she said it hurts like an overworked muscle and the entire eye is so swollen she can hardly see out of it. I had a similar experience in 09 that turned out to be allergies...hopefully that's all her's is too.
I have training tonight and I'm so excited about it! I'm not sure if it's because it was a balmy 53 degrees yesterday, giving just a hint of spring being in the air or that there is ...

Happy hump day! I want to start this post with something positive, I had training last night, it was like a switch was turned on! I was on fire, all the bikes were taken so I used the elliptical then Elle worked me hard. I'm now up to 135lbs on the leg press, 135lbs on the adductor and 130lbs on the abductor, plié squats and regular squats with 16 lbs weights and 10 lbs on tricep kickbacks and hammer curls. I held the plank for an entire minute (for the first time) and make it through the rest ...
