<li>T-Bar Rows</li>
<li>Nautilus Lat Pull</li>
<li>Dumbell Bicep Curls</li>
<li>Pushdowns with drop sets</li>
</ul>
<p>Pretty standard workout.  I know my training seems pretty repetitive and uninteresting but I&#8217;ve been really focusing on basics and just staying back in the groove.  Crazy how much muscle I&#8217;ve regained in such a short time&#8230;muscle memory is a sick thing!  Now that I&#8217;m at a lighter bodyweight I can actually see my muscles which is nice.  I had all kinds of veins popping out last night.  I know I know&#8230;not really the cutest or most feminine thing (neither is a lot of what I do lol) but still pretty cool to see.  I totally got my Dad&#8217;s vascularity.  His forearms are so stacked and veiny.  Awesome Dad genetics ftw!</p>

<p>I&#8217;ll have to get a pic or video during training when the veins are at their freakiest.  Wow this is gonna be an interesting look in tanks and dresses this summer lol.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stella is so hardcore.  It&#8217;s 28 degrees outside and that&#8217;s not stopping her one bit from our daily walking routine.  There was one day she got really cold and turned around to head home, so I put her <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KZWCW2?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=u07d-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002KZWCW2">Snuggie</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=u07d-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002KZWCW2" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> on and she crushed our entire walking course like it was a nice spring day.</p>
<p>So then I was the big sissy.  I wear a big down jacket when we walk, but my hands and ears were still freezing.  Busted out the gloves so that solved the hand problem.  Then Craig got me this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OQDF8E?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=u07d-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000OQDF8E">PowerBar</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=u07d-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000OQDF8E" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> beanie to keep my head and ears warm.  I look so silly in beanies but since it matches Stella&#8217;s snuggie, it was clearly a sign that I was meant to wear it.</p>
<p>Today I bundled Stella up in her <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KZWCW2?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=u07d-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002KZWCW2">Snuggie</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=u07d-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002KZWCW2" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> and put on my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OQDF8E?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=u07d-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000OQDF8E">PowerBar</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=u07d-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000OQDF8E" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> beanie and we did our full walking routine&#8230;in 28 degree weather.  Looks like Stella won&#8217;t be letting either of us slack on our walking regimen this winter!</p>
