Healthy with Shani

ahhhh im on a roll this am i sprinted....and made that shit COUNT...for everything! i like to be that girl that is kinda cute underneath all the sweat and fresh bruises and rancid body odor and slippery soles because she keeps dripping all over the floor lol.   why dont many people push themselves to that point?  of course, i dont have the gusto to do that every single time but with each workout, it remains my goal.  to me it's the sign of a successful session.   i like to see my life flash before my eyes when i work out.  i like to feel like my heart could stop at that moment.  and then it doesnt.  so i try again - harder.   and then it reminds me that this is not the kind of pain that hurts me.  or kills me. im so much stronger.

I'm feeling intense....fired up.  The harder   and smarter I work the better the quality of results I am seeing and feeling.  I went through some of my transformation features and am still amazed at how applicable my feelings are today. Who knew that IIIII (ME who has a hard time finishing most things I start) would stick with fitness and continue to aim to become the BEST me I can be....before this lifetime goes dark. http://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/shani-mojica-body-transformation.html

I'm shapin up.  I've taken advantage of my reduced hunger and increased energy and have funneled it into my nutrition and training.  I've added in more plyo days and moves, sprint more, intensified and lengthened cardio sessions and lift heavy - still focusing super hard core on moves like shoulder presses, squats and deadlifts.    And I've found myself to be extra careful and strict with the diet.  I know that "straying" is only going to make "staying" with the progress much harder.  And slip ups are extra difficult to bounce back from when you're on Pred. There are no...

...only you're trying hard TO fall asleep. Because this stuff is making me restless. Nuh uh! I haven't updated since June?? Weeelll. I kind of had a hard time seeing shit. One Urgent Care visit to NY Eye and Ear and I'm on Prednisone again. It was that or risk further visual loss. Fuck. So after heroically protesting my possible use of this medication to the doctors at NY Eye and Ear's emergency care center I broke down in angry tears that were washed away by defeat and finally acceptance and said "ok." Now what? First, I stop obsessively researching the side effects of the drug because frankly this information is makin me sick. My personal experiences with it scares me. The prominence of individuals similar to myself experiencing horrid side effects hits too close. Again. When I took Prednisone back when my world went into a complete fog in March of 2010, I was 60mg daily for about a month before tapering and still took my physique to ...
