…I see a perfect spot for tricep dips
This morning I took care of the dogs and jumped straight into a workout before I had a chance to get distracted or make any excuses not to. I used my trustee Extreme Timesaver Workout DVD and found my legs still burning and fatigued from my last boot camp session. It probably didn’t help that I didn’t eat before hand (other than a few peanut m&m’s left over from the holiday which were attempting to leave my system with the rigorous exercise). I made it through the whole whole workout (with my weights) and then did some tricep dips for good measure. Afterward, I rewarded myself with a chocolate peanut butter protein shake. yum!
Anyway, that’s all for now. 
Breakfast of Champions!
I am a domestic abuse survivor. I am also a runner, painter, gardener, home improvement enthusiast, occasional poet, and a thriver. For those of you wondering what a "thriver" is exactly, Susan Omilian, the creator of the My Avenging Angel Workshops, defines it as follows "a thriver is a happy, self-confident and productive individual who believes that she has a prosperous life ahead of her. She is primed to follow her dreams, go back to school, find a new job, start her own business, or write her story. She believes in herself and in her future so much that she will not return to an abusive relationship. She speaks knowledgeably and confidently about her experiences and is not stuck in her anger or need for revenge." However, I have a my own definition: Thriver (noun) 1) A woman with a known fascination with glitter glue committed to making the world a more beautiful place. 2) One who progresses toward or realizes her goals despite circumstances 3) A person who flourishes and prospers 4) Someone who has mastery over her inner critic and celebrates the happy person inside her. Examples: Wow, those thrivers sure know how to decoupage. That thriver is going to change the world.
