Birthdays, Training, MTV's Silent Library

I think I need to blog more often?! What do you think? So, what's going on now in my life??? This week there are two big birthdays. My sister Jessica turns 21 and my sister in law Angela turns 30... It's amazing how fast time goes. It felt like it was only yesterday when Jessica was floating upside down in the pool (long story, but she survived) and as for Angela... mmm I won't go there! LOL.

Time has been teaching all of us a couple of major things... one being how important eating healthy and exercising is for the body. Angela has lost 15lbs or so since June, and Jessica is frequently visiting the gym. Being an athlete of life, I have come to realize what foods effect my moods and energy. I know I only understand 10% of the whole picture, but even just that percentage is having a huge impact on my life. I constantly try to reinforce the fact of nutrition and exercise to my family... I think some of it is getting through to them.

I have been preaching about how flour is bad, breads are bad etc. My dad stopped eating white bread. Did he learn this from me? No! He learned it from Oprah. So, what ever Oprah says goes!

As my blog readers know, I have been injured the last 3+ months. I am close to 100% healed! I have been able to workout, throw, run and jump. It feels amazing to move my body again. I still have alot of ground to cover. We are 23 months away from the 2012 Olympic Trials and that's how long it's going to take me to get into the position to throw 68+ feet. All the training experiences over the past 16 years are now collected as one. I know what works for my body. I know what stress my body has to go through to see adaption. I know amount of throws needed, nutrition, mind set and the list goes on. From all of this we (Dane Miller www.garagestrength.com) and I are coming up with a plan that will bring me back to my highest strength levels without sacrificing what I have done these past 2.5 years. It's keeping Dr. Bundarchuk's philosophies at the most importance while increasing 5-7 pounds a month in my bench, squat and olympic lifts.

Now to keep my self occupied with a hobby/stress reliever, I am planning on starting a Vlog on youtube that will track my daily activities over the next 23 months. I am loosing my head with work, training and Jersey Trash CLothing that I need to do something fun. Hopefully this will be the outlet.

Oh and the new season of MTV's Silent Library is on. I don't know what week I will be on, but keep an eye out for me!

PS..The above picture reminds me that I need to get my eyes checked and some new glasses! Later!
