Another page down. 2426 reps/calories plus a bunch of extra reps not counted just cuz. I’ve added running and interval work on rowing and bike. Easily doing double unders in workouts…finally. Missed a much needed massage this week but scheduled with a different guy for next week. Regular stretching and rolling out has to be augmented with a massage person who understands what I’m doing and what I’m trying to accomplish. Repair and prevention. Train smart and hard. #fitlife #fitoverforty #strongmama #massage #healthylife @m4munson #blog

Years ago I picked up Dean Koontz’s book Odd Thomas. We’ve been Koontz readers for a long time but we’re not ‘fan’ kind of people meaning we don’t see folks as any more than just folks. We all have issues, demons, blessings and abilities. That being said I was moved by Odd Thomas to write a note to Me. Koontz. It simply said Thank You for Odd Thomas – P Munson. Dean Koontz wrote me back, intrigued by the simple note, I was added to his Useless News newsletter and have enjoyed it since. Mr. Koontz is definitely on my list of people is love to have dinner with. #deankoontz #books #writer #blog #oddthomas #favoritebooks #favoriteauthors

Which is a better read? Reason by far. But I read Time also because I don’t agree with most of it. It’s easy to stick with stuff I like but looking at things from a different point if view makes me re-evaluate why I believe what I believe. Stretch yourself with new info and questions. Growth is good! #reason #mindfulness #growth #blog #libertarian

Another page of effort complete. No PRs as this block was mostly a de-load week which followed a very tough last session. I needed rest. We forget how integral rest is in development but ever hard effort in the gym needs to be followed with rest, clean eating and supportive supplements to help your body rebuild and improve. Working out is pushing your body to its max and then a little bit more. That’s where the soreness comes from. Taking an NSAID (over the counter pain relief) prevents your body from rebuilding and improving because it tells your body, falsely, that there is no need for repair. Proper protein intake jump starts the rebuilding process by providing the raw parts for construction. AdvoCare’s Nighttime Recovery is amino acid and mineral blend that helps the body get into deep sleep which is where the recovery happens and it supplies important building blocks. Check it out. Contact your distributor or if you don’t have a distributor I’d be happy to help you out. Love training and AdvoCare! #blog #fitoverforty #advocare #nighttimerecovery #strongmama #healthylife

Getting enough water in is crucial always but now, when temps are rising and activity levels are too, is a big danged deal. Dehydration negatively impacts your ability to work out hard, it slows your thinking and shows up as head aches and being overly tired as well as hungry when they aren’t. Folks who do exercise are more prone to injuries when they are dehydrated. Adding citrus, mint, cucumbers and berries to water is a great way to improve the flavor without impacting your calorie load. I love my fruit infused water pitcher! It makes it easy to stay hydrated. #hydration #wellness #healthylife #blog #infusedwater

My Daddy. It is amazing the impact a person can have in another person’s life. For better or worse we balance and define ourselves by those around us so choose wisely. I am forever grateful this man chose to pick up a family and raise us as his own. Family isn’t necessarily defined by blood relationships. Choosing day in and day out to be in someone’s life…that is bigger than blood to me. Love you, Daddy! #fathersday #daddy #blog

So diet has been dialed in (with one vacation bit of badness) for 12 weeks now. Training in the first part of 2014 was predominantly light weight with more cardio than I usually do. We’ve been on this Wendler’s 5-3-1 program for 12 weeks of consistent training. The biggest supplemental change that’s been made to my program is adding in AdvoCare’s Muscle Strength which is 2000 mg HMB and 200 mg SUMA. All of AdvoCare’s performance product line is thoroughly tested by Informed Choice for over 200 banned substances as well as label accuracy. That’s important. I’m 43 and hitting lifting personal records every week twelve weeks in. Crazy! #advocare #strongmama #fitoverforty #hmb #blog #lovemylife

2505 reps/calories plus miscellaneous movements on this page. There are 4 new personal records on lifts on this page of work. We traveled and wandered off the path a but in our eating during this page but we’re back and dialed in on macronutrients and supplementation. Dial it in and get big results! Diet, exercise and supplementation. It works! #fitoverforty #liftheavy #lovemylife #personalrecords #advocare #blog
