- my name: Susan
- where i live: Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada

- my move: My "move" is the one-arm dumbbell snatch. It was hard to choose just one as my favourite, but I chose this because it’s a full-body move that works my legs, arms, and even engages my core. Plus, it’s fun as hell and keeps my heart pumping ;) It should be mentioned you’re supposed to use force to drive the dumbell over your head. It should be a quick and snappy move, some people even jump and they bring the weight up!
I’d also like to add that my mom took the picture for me in her kitchen before I went to the gym, and she is utterly horrified that I am posting pictures of myself in no makeup with my hair pulled back on the internet :P
- my meal: My "meal" is actually dates stuffed with peanut butter. I chose it because I eat it all. the. time. I eat it before I go to the gym, during long runs or bike rides, as a snack between meals, and as a dessert after meals. It contains two of my favourite things – sugar and nut butter! ;)
susan…work out that move girl! and i happen to think you look adorable in all your workout glory. you should see me – its NOT a pretty sight!
love sugar + nut butter – mwah!
Love the moves, Susan! You look awesome!
I like that move a lot too…but I feel like I don’t bring the dumbbell up quick enough! I have to work on that.
your dessert = perfect for me too :)
if that horrifies her, she’s had a very good life.
you’re gorgeous susan!
Ok, that looks like a very heavy weight to be lifting with one arm! I’ve gotta up my weight training so I can have arms like yours! :)
Love your guest post, Susan! And that’s one of my favorite desserts – almond butter and dats. YUM!!!! :-D

Umm…. and that would be dates – with an E. LOL ;-)
You are soooo right- that is one of the best moves- it uses like every muscle! Good reminder to re-visit those- thanks! I’ve never tried a date with nut butter. I had a friend who used to make those and she called them “cockroaches”- kinda took the “must eat” thoughts out of my head! :-) And I agree with the commenter who said you don’t look bad in these shots, but I sure hope you find some really bad ones by Feb 28 for me hehehehehheeee!
