For Nikki-my attempt at a rear lat spread?
…
Aww MiM, look at you eating around 1800 calories!
Great job on the cardio and hawt pics!
Thanks for doing the lat spread Babes <3
training. check
good food. check.
pics of strong beautiful woman with tiny waist. check.
that director sees more in you than you do. Let the Betty we see in TN shine out at the gym. a complexy type of class with fun creative stuff like plate pushes, waiters walks and more will keep your students on their toes. I can see that being really fun.
Nice Lats. Keep up the hard work
Training:
squats-
65x8
95x3
125x3
155x1
115x8
I don’t know…I got 145x3 last week but it wasn’t going to happen with the 155. Plus, my knees are extra creaky from the bit of jump rope I did yesterday and sprinting in my Teva’s probably wasn’t wise either…
V-squat machine… <3 No hurty knees and I could FEEL my butt working.
2x10x45es
1x8x55es
1x8x65es
the machine itself STARTS at 54lbs
DB sldls, down to my toes, yep!
4x8x55s
FST-7 single leg curl
walking lunge 1x40
gg/bg 3x20x125
err, ran outta time…wanted to do bb thrusts. I hope what I did was sufficient enough. Already feeling sore, so probably so! Will do some biking later on + abs…
Nikki- I know, GO ME!! 
And it seems like the more food I’m eating, the more my poor metabolism is begging for MORE food… I’m creating a monster!!! ahhhhh
N- thank you for the kind words
. And I think it would be a fun class too! Kinda cross-fitty I guess??, but with less equipment. I think it draw a more diverse crowd as well. Victor, one of the trainers has all sorts of cool ‘toys,’ that I can ask to borrow on occasion. Just today he brought in a big ole’ rope and was playing with it.
still brainstorming!
I yam what I yam.
…I am kinda shy and will hang back in the crowd…Many times I’ve been accused of being bitchy or even stuck up…NOT TRUE!!! 
once you get to know me, I’m FUN! 
I just keep my mouth shut until I know the persons personality pretty well. Too many times I’ve gotten in trouble with my sometimes sarcastic humor because they didn’t know I was just kidding.
Kalle! Hi… Thanks…and I’m always working hard!!! (or hardly working)
I’m still hungry…I just put down over 60grams worth of protein and 4 rice cakes…nom nom nom nom!!! I’ve watched the scale steadily climb up 3lb this week. I’m waiting to see where it levels out. What if it doesn’t? lol
My temp this morning was 96.4…isn’t that pretty low?? I’m calling today to make an appt to get my check up.

Haha, guilty! Can’t everyone just completely understand my sense of humor instantly?!
The class sounds fun Betty, hope you can get it all together and create an army of Mini-MiM’s!
a) Lat spread is ridic, tiny waist enviable - so strong and sexy, love it!
b) Training is looking stellar! Those DBSDLs are awesome! 55lb is no joke, and with your loooooong legs - well that’s quite a ways to travel. lol!
c) Frenchie speaks the truth! And remember, you can be the kind of instructor you want to be - not that perky, annoying, busy-body kind!
d) I would totally take a circuity-cross-fitty-type class!! In fact, a lot of the conditioning stuff I do is in the studio at my gym I stole from a class that was conducted in circuit fashion. So now I basically set up all sorts of different stations and go at it - suicides down the length of the studio (incl high knees, bear crawls, back peddling, frog jumps), then “crazy legs” and jump lunges off the risers, jump squats to the other side - the possibilities are endless! Work it out! snap
btw - I find sarcasm is more easily detected if you say things in a funny/weird voice. dead-pan only goes over well when people know what kind of bastid they’re dealing with. lol!
wow! nice lats!
Workouts are looking awesome, and doing a second session later. You go girl!
Also, very nice workout.
Just did bike sprints…fml. The resistance on that thing is Redonkadonk!!
Also abs…leg lifts 3x12( lower legs til almost til the floor, raise and push heels into ceiling…RAWR!!!)
Then these weird side leg raise things…kinda like using your legs as a pendulum?
OMG, STARVING!!!
Ink- I know, RIGHT?! Why don’t people just GET IT? I once got in trouble cause someone said ‘oh betty your such a smart ass, giggle.’ And I said ‘well, I’d rather be a smart ass than a dumb ass.’ And she took it personally thinking I was calling her a dumb ass!
Maschy- feel me in chica…I don’t know what half of those moves are, but they sound GREAT!!
Nikki- thanks <3 I’m trying!!
I think getting out of your comfort zone is a GREAT idea. Take the opportunity you are being given.

and nice training.
I meant the diet it rugged- that you stick to it for so long.
nice job.
Thank you Kimba…it’s hard. Getting out of that comfort zone…but it’s all about accepting change so we can grow…(or lose fat) also related to adding more cardio/intensity to my training…I’m really digging that part.
Its my people skillz that need work I guess.
I can see doing the group setting thing. Getting to know other members because they WANT to be there and are interested in trying something new…not because I felt pressured to sell sell sell…
wow Mimsie!
those are some great quads…
I peeked in here, saw all that training, dieting…
My log is jelly.
love the definition in your legs Mim
nice quads!!
wow girl, those are some awesome looking legs! i’m very jealous indeed.
