Had a nice walk with puppy last night on a trail and in town, and tonight is legs. 

I’m also washing, waxing and changing my oil in my ‘68 today so that will be fun in this gorgeous weather! 

Made some decisions last night for the huge upgrades on the car before our car cruise in May. Stoked!! 

Though I haven’t officially booked the hotel yet (we have to soon because it’s a huge event that books fast), I just took off work today for one of our favorite trips every year! Ocean City, Maryland muscle car cruise. 

I have a lot to work on to upgrade my Chevelle transmission this winter/spring yet, and to book the room but it’s still exciting. It’s always the third weekend in May and my first time at the beach and in a swimsuit for the year. 

16 weeks til we go! Really pushing my workouts and exploring nutrition plan options as I learn more about nutrition and my own body, needs and goals. Honestly I will be driving most of the time and whooping up on lame Mustangs in my manual, big block ride, but I’d still like the option to run on the beach in my sports bra, and wear my swimsuit top while I cruise!

So I added up all my meals today, and even though I ate an extra slice of pizza (totalling 3 + a coors light) I was under 2000 cals for the day which I was surprised and happy about. 

Total: 1968. Great year (for cars…)! 

My tattoo, and inspiration for the name of this blog. Goes with my passion for muscle cars and my mindset on training and myself being strong. This pic was taken the day I got it, in July 2011.

I was raised working on cars and to appreciate the history behind them and our country. I was also raised with a Work Hard Play Hard attitude which helps push me to this day to both work hard but also enjoy the fruits of labor, life and love.

It is the old school Chevrolet Chevelle emblem from the performance motor models and I opted to take out a specific motor size and replace it with “American Muscle”.
