Ripped in 30, day 10

Ahhhhhhh, day 3 of week 2:  CHECK!  Today, the workout kicked my quads' ass!  Monday my quads hurt, then Tuesday it was my arms, and now back to my quads...at least my muscle groups are taking turns.  My advice for fellow week 2ers, STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH!!  As I said in day 1, Jillian does give you a few minutes of dynamic stretching (stretches that warm up your muscles by being active), but my muscles wanted way more time.  So I listened to them and it has helped tremendously in minimizing soreness the next day.  I'm feeling strong as hell today so I MAY work in the yard :)

Notice Stanley and Albert in the background not giving a shit....

Introduction of Yours Truly

So here I am...attempting to speak to anyone that will listen...or read, rather.  I have a lot to say about many different things.  But before I start with that, how about an introduction?  My name is Amy and I'm 31 years old.  I'm very social and somewhat shy.  I'm very outspoken and yet I can be extremely reserved.  I'm a contradiction, really.  I'm happily married to the woman of my dreams, Stephanie, as of 5/4/2012.  Yes, newlyweds, and I'm loving every second of it!

                                     

Through this blog, I want to give you a glimpse of my day to day activities because I feel that my relationship with Stephanie and the way we live our lives, gives me a different perspective. 

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in Veterinary Technology and I love animals of all kinds!  I'm sure I'll blog over and over about my two crazy dogs, Albert and Stanley.

                                  

I'm very opinionated about clothing.  I love to try to dress to impress wherever I go!  I'm no expert, but I think I have a good sense of fashion.  I like to mix trendy looks with vintage threads.  Speaking of the past, I feel that deep down, I am a very old soul.  I think this is one of the biggest reasons why my wife and I get along so well.  She's constantly turning heads because she effortlessly looks like she walked right out of a Saturday Evening Post circa 1965 or earlier.

                                      
We love the traditional values from this time period, which I know may seem odd coming from such a non-traditional couple.  But you see that's just it, we ARE a traditional couple....we just both happen to be female.

So, now you know a little bit more about me, maybe you'll continue to read my blog.  I hope to make you laugh.  I hope to make you cry.  I hope to give you something to think about.  I hope to pass on a little knowledge.  I hope to give you a take on things that you hadn't considered before.  But most of all, I hope you enjoy <3

I don't try to be different, I just set out to be myself.  If that makes me different, then I guess that's just me.  Now if you'll excuse me, I need to stand OUT while I blend in...
