Bought my George Foreman griller about 2 weeks ago and it works like a charm. It's a small one so only 3 chicken breasts can be done at a time. The meat is done in about 10 to 15 min on medium and is extremely succulent. It's so quick and easy I can grill it in the morning if I wanted to.

Had a fantastic work out last night and I know this because my body is sore today. All the muscle groups I exercised are feeling it. Chest, triceps, shoulders, back and biceps.  Planning to hit this level every time I exercise. I added another set at the end of each group in my routine.

Motivation, the lack there of

Posted by Michael Julie on Friday, March 12, 2010, In : Motivational 
I have been struggling with keeping to my training schedule and when that happens, my attempts at eating clean goes to pot. Ok maybe it could be worse hey, I could've been addicted to that POT. Remember I struggled for two weeks with a tummy bug, well last week I managed to get in my weight training workouts but slipped up on my cardio.
