Great workout B!! Those overhead presses were good! I can feel ya on that,,, you get three sets and they seem ok, then you say to yourself "ok just 5 more pounds" then it won't budge... how frustrating is that!! I mean its just 5 pounds...

Posted by: b_reed23

you are all very sweet!

No leg workout this week because of deer season...up and down hills all weekend

hopefully will be in the gym tonight for delts/bi/tri

good luck on the house, billie

Posted by: DeadBolt

great workouts hun!!!

and a house eh best of luck with that.

and good luck out in the woos...saturday im taking the 3 hour trip up north to take a child hunting...hoping to get hsi first deer this year. that will be a VERY long day for me.

Posted by: b_reed23

ya'll are going to be so dissapointed...I only got 1 workout in last week, I did manage to do some yoga Thursday morning...but that was it....this house business takes a lot of time! Everytime they counteroffer and we bid, first we get a letter from mortgage company, then to realty company, back home for a little bit, then back to the mortgage company...

so no workout on friday..and diet has been awful too

hopefully back in the swing of thing soon!

oh yeah...T-minus 2 1/2 hrs to be in the woods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Triple Threat

Why the back and forth to the mortgage company? They should have told you your ceiling and you can work within that.

Posted by: b_reed23

different letters each time so sellers dont know our limit

Posted by: boilermaker

Billie. Hope you had a successful hunt!

Hey, wasn't it you that got a punching bag a year or so ago? Do you use it? Did you like it? Just curious.

Posted by: b_reed23

no luck hunting...didn't even see anything...

as far as the bag goes...I guess the ex got that in the divorce

Posted by: DeadBolt

glad ya got out in the woods better luck next tme!

as for as hunting goes, it is just so much fun getting out there, i think that i could honestly go to the mountians everyday, and never get bored with it.
i can go and just sit and watch nothing for ever. believe that.

and the divorce thing, i used to think that it was such a negative thing. my parents divorced, i got divorced, but now we are all in a much better place because of it. good luck with everything.

Nice lookin' workout B!

That sucks about your flat.. the last thing you want when you walk out to your vehicle is seeing a flat tire

Posted by: b_reed23

oh great...more lost posts...

Posted by: SamEaston

Great looking Rows - you are a very strong lady indeed!

Posted by: b_reed23

ok...now I have posted my workouts 3 times from last week....I give up!

haven't been to the gym yet this week, I have been really sick...what next?? I have a really bad sinus infection...I have been in bed for 18hrs...sleeping...I just now woke up, I even called into work tonight...and that's not like me...my gym time has been WAY down the last month or so, and it's really pissing me off...hopefully will bounce back...

Posted by: SamEaston

That sounds horrible B. Make sure you rest up and get better soon. A week is a long time to be ill too but with 18 hours sleep i'd say you should be feeling a bit better now ! Wow!

Posted by: b_reed23

feeling a bit better, but Cody won't let me back in the gym until I'm 100%...

Posted by: SheLifts

wow! amazing PR's in that last workout. and don't worry about being sick, taking time off will help you recover faster. Sometimes your body does what it needs to get the rest it desires.

hope you're back up and running soon. but for now.. REST REST REST!!!

Posted by: b_reed23

I know, but it seems like we are taking too much time off lately....I hate it!

Posted by: SamEaston

Dont worry about it. Make sure you are fully recovered before getting back to it, otherwise you might end up worse off.

It's pants, i know.

Yep... and on the other hand,,,, a couple days turn into a week,, a week turns into a month,,, and so on and so on...

when you're sick, (from the neck up) you can work out. Just lower your intensity by half.

I've switched back to HIT for now so I have more time to cook, wrap gifts, bake cookies, etc. I am still a bit sick...unbeleivably drained...plus we have been working a shitload of overtime at work due to the holidays...and deer season starts back up saturday...so I am going to TRY to get in every workout, but I can't make any promises!

I dunnno...how heavy is it and how fast can you move it? you gonna be walking or using a vehicle?

oh...you meant...ooops...

The questions is...where do YOU think you can be in three months?
You can do it scientifially:
Go back 3 months, take your max bench then with what yours is now...find your % increase...and then (let's say...20% increase) then multiply your current max by that % and that is your target...or more if you want it.

Posted by: b_reed23

I haven't max benched since early summer, and it was 105

I'm not a strong bencher, so I'm wondering what kind of approach I should take with this...bench every other week or what?

Posted by: b_reed23

well, no workout yesterday, was just feeling wiped out...sinus problems keep leaving, only to return the next day

BUT in going with Pylons theme of living in the moment....right now I am eating a whole wheat mini bagel with FF cream cheese, a small tangerine and 6oz of milk....a very small step....but a step

Posted by: Brutus_G

Well several things will effect your progress.
Are you gaining muscle fast?
Steroids/phs?
Training age?
Real life age?
Arm and limb length?
Male or female?
Are you power lifting or just doing your own thing?
Muscle memory?
How bad do you want it?

My guess is 115-130 i know that's very vague lol.

what do you mean: bench every other week? Train your chest every week!
Do you mean: max every other week? NO!
near max = good. max = too much.

You seem to keep your reps in the 8-12 rep range. Do you ever drop into the 4-6 rep range? How 'bout try that a couple weeks...then cycle back to your higher rep range and repeat.

Posted by: b_reed23

I've been doing 3-6 for the last month, I just switched back to HIT for a 4-5second negative for a couple weeks...

Posted by: Burner02

did your #'s improve?

Posted by: b_reed23

on HIT?? Definenetly...we will find out about the other next week when I return to 3-6 reps

delts/bi/tri
4-5 s negatives

arnolds 20x8
rear lats 12x12
preachers 35x10
db curls 15x12
rope curls 60x12
o/h DB ext. 30x10
HS dips 90x12
v-bar press 80x12

15m eliptical...level 5....look! I did cardio!!

about 10-15m playing around with new medicine balls we have at the gym!! overhand tosses, side tosses, oblique work, etc....we have a new machine too for abs...its called ab solo....you toss medicine balls and catch them as your sitting up...pretty cool.....
I used the backboard to make it more challenging..

Merry Christmas, Billy!

Posted by: b_reed23

suppose to hit the gym in the morning...but who knows...I spent the first 3-4 hrs. of our family Christmas in the bathroom....chills, nausea, squirts....definetly not how I pictured our Christmas

Posted by: SamEaston

Merry Crimbo and a Happy New Year to you!

Hope you feel better soon!

Posted by: Pylon

Happy holidays, Billie!

Posted by: b_reed23

hey all! woke up and felt better, but when Cody got home from work he was exhausted and under the weather....so I did a leg workout at home....

20m walk on treadmill, 1% incline
5m walking lunges on treadmill, 1% incline
2m side lunges on treadmill, 1% incline (1m each leg)
okay..off the treadmill...
3m split squats...really deep
1m calf raises 54 reps

this was a SUPER hard workout...very challenging...I've never done lunges on the treadmill before...talk about burning!!! I"ve also never done high rep calf raises...

ouchie!! will probably do this again soon...I loved it!!!!

so...what else have I done TODAY for my health?? Well...I went shopping, picked up a bunch of lean meat. got some more protein powder and plenty of frozen fruit for smoothies (I got a new blender for Christmas!)

I haven't ate TOO badly...had leftover sausage balls for breakfast, and eating lean pork loin and mushrooms in olive oil for supper (also got a new HUGE saute pan and Jim Bean marinades and sauces for Christmas)

will have fruit and protein bar at work (got these in my stocking this year!) probably have some eggs or something for my meal after work, and some more sausage balls to finish them off. I am feeling good about doing things one step at a time!

oh yeah....taking ALL leftover candy, fudge, cookies, etc to work tonight to get rid of them

hope everyone had a great holiday! I am looking forward to New Years! Going to see a great band and spend some time throwing down some cold ones with friends

Posted by: Pylon

Sounds like a good time! What kind of blender did you get? How many speeds? Attachments?

Yeah...I'm a gadget geek....

Posted by: b_reed23

it's an Oster, with the glass jar...it has 12 speeds if I'm not mistaken...

Posted by: Pylon

What color is it? What's the capacity? Come on, don't leave out the juicy details!!!!

That Py...he's a smoothie allright!

Posted by: b_reed23

I will be sure to get all the details of the blender..

quick upper body workout yesterday...had to get to bed early as I had to go into work early tonight...

pushups x9
rev. flys on stab ball 8x12
db shrugs 50x9...lost grip

front raises 12x12
hammers 15x12
kickbacks 15x12

10m treadmill...this was all my legs could take...that "quick" leg workout I did the other day is still killing my legs! it's been a while since I've had that bad of DOMS...I dreaded going to the bathroom all day because I would have to sit on my sore butt!!!

diet yesterday was less than perfect....but on a positive note, while running errands in town got SUPER hungry...so I stopped at walgreens, got a protein shake and got a fruit and yogurt parfait at McDonalds...but I want everyone to know I was dying for a sausage biscuit!!

diet today good so far...pork loin and lima beans...off to work in 40 minutes

Posted by: Pylon

Nice job....but just steer clear of McD's all together. It makes life easier!

I have to admit, McD's is never something I want. Ever. Hardees sometimes, Sonic and Rally's A LOT.

Posted by: SamEaston

Burger King. Me likey. Me likey a lot.

Nice job on buying a smoothie maker - i used to have one of those, then always forgot to buy fruit! Im more into veggies myself, although not in a blender strangely enough . . . . .

Posted by: b_reed23

ok...don't have my journal handy, so I'll post that later...

diet has been good today, had pork loin and lima beans before work, on first break i had a tuna cup on a mini whole wheat bagel. 2nd break was an apple and a pudding cup. and before the gym I had a small portion of almonds, and a protein bar...getting ready to eat some deer chili with whole wheat crackers

feels good to be back in the groove

Posted by: Brutus_G

Hope you had some fun! Nice pics, btw you should change your avi to the picture furthest on the right B.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Nice pics billie! You are so squeezably adorable! I just wanna pinch your cute little......cheeks, okay booty, but don't tell anyone

Where's the pic of the ring??? Hello!

Glad your diet has been good today, mine hasn't been bad either. And as for cravings -- I could eat Chipotle every single day if you'd let me.

Posted by: b_reed23

Brutus...lets see what I can do...

Fitty...aw...thanks! I will get a pic of the ring soon...I had it sized...kept it for 4 days and realized it had some funny pitting in the gold...so had to take it back..it's been there since Thursday...they got some bad gold in (the filler they use after sizing) so we have to wait til he gets some ordered in

Ok...here goes people! a great workout! it took a very long time because we take long breaks on our Benching...it took 1 hr. 40 min!!

chest/back/traps

bench 90x6, 95x3, x1, x1
inc bench 75x4, x3, x3
stab. ball flies 15x10, 10 (new exersize..I like!!)

st arm press 52.5x6, 55x4
DB upright rows 15x6, 20x6 (another new one...also good!)

back tomorrow to do leg/abs!

Posted by: Brutus_G

NIce pic looking good

. Good to see ya getting those PRs.

Posted by: b_reed23

the PRs just aren't where I want them though...I really want to increase my benchpress, but just can't seem to get anywhere with it...

I feel ya on that. My bench is the slowest to progress where as i can always get that extra weight on squats, rows and leg press.

Posted by: b_reed23

I'm glad I'm not the only one havin trouble with benching

today...

legs/abs
hypers 55x6, x6, x6 will go to 60 next time...
leg press 340x6, 350x6 PR!!, 360x6 PR!!
leg ext. 110x6, 120x6 PR!!!
HS leg curls 65x4, x3

hurt my knees....45x6
standing calves 160x6, x6, x6...hurt my back today...

did various ab stuff in between sets....don't remember everything...but it ALL hurt...hahahahahahaha.....

diet was good today...ate a lot of homemade soup

1 1/2c soup w/WW crackers before work, and 1/2 protein bar, on first break I hate a WW bagel with a salmon cup, 2nd break I ate 1c of soup, when I got home I had a yogurt/milk/strawberry protein shake (pre workout) afterwards I had 1 1/2c soup with WW crackers...gonna get 1/2 bagel with PB before bed...

Posted by: b_reed23

had a whole mini bagel with PB instead of half...I was hungry..and I STILL woke up 4 hrs. later with my stomach growling...any tips??

I also forgot...I'm up to 134....that means I gained 6lb over the holidays

Posted by: Pylon

Maybe try cottage cheese instead? Slower digestion, maybe will last longer?

Posted by: katt

Nice job on the leg press girlie!!

On the diet part... you can throw in a TON of veges for filler and not up your calories that much...

And a mini bagel is only 100 cals, right?? with the pb, it's not that much at all,, that's probably why you were starving. For a last meal, I agree with the cottage cheese,, I usually just have protein (chicken or turkey) and salad or a casien shake.

Posted by: b_reed23

Ok....did some cardio today...

15m bike
20m treadmill
10m power pilates

diet started off good...ended bad...

when I got up today, had 1/2 prot bar and a few WW crackers, had honey barbeque salmon with some green beans before I went to work. first break was WW bagel with tuna cup, 2nd break was 1.5c deer soup. after work I had a candy bar and then had a few bites of fried pies that Cody's mom gave us

then had pizza for dinner...*sigh*

WHAT UP "B"!!!!
sounds like the holidays went well for all of you.
there is nothing better than having those that u love around for the holidays.

keep up the hard work and the good eating. im a firm believer that every meal should end with a good piece of............. chocolate. ha i know what u were thinking. i always have a sweet at the end of the night and look it how good i look, oh , on second thought dont take that advice.

anyways good look on all the fun in the new year.

Posted by: Pylon

Hey, end of the day sweets are ok, just the right ones. I read somewhere the brain is programmed to crave sweets after a meal, but don't remember why. That's why the SF jello will always have a place in my pantry.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Society and restaurants have programmed us to want dessert after meals.

Do what I do B.... I threw all of the junk food in my garbage bin the day they collected... no looking back

It's more than that. It is a natural biological response. I think it is leftover from when we were monkeys and used to eat fruit to get vitamins and hydration, or something like that.

But society doesn't help.

...how about all the above?? hehehehe...

Monday went fairly well, we didn't have any gym time..but went hiking to find some good spots for turkey hunting, we have both always wanted to do it, so we figured this would be a good year

we found several good spots, and even heard some clucking in one spot

the season starts in March, and we are set! hiking was about 20-30m maybe more...

diet was so-so...started out with leftover pizza, and a protein shake, then on first break I had WW bagel with Salmon, 2nd break was 3oz. imitation crab. after work I had a huge protein bar with some yogurt. after our hike I had a big chicken salad with FF ranch

today is looking good so far...had a small salad before work, and 3oz crabmeat, 1st break will be WW bagel with tuna. 2nd break will be yogurt, and 3oz chix. I also have a protein shake to sip on through the night. pre workout will be a protein shake and maybe a yogurt. and for my last meal I'm having this wonderful looking premade chicken fried rice by Contessa....it looks super yummy, 360cals ...we shalll see

be back later to post workout!

Posted by: SamEaston

Hey B! All is looking well in here. It makes me laugh when you write that you are 135lb, im like 158lb so below 150lb is so far off for me! Oh well, Katt's idea of throwing all the junk food out is a good one. Me, i left all the choccies and biccies at home when i left Scotland - so my Mum and Dad are busy getting fat as we speak!

Posted by: the other half

b, why not just put your pizza in your protien shake?!!!!!!!

if i start the day off bad, i usually say what the fuck and end up eating like shit all day long. so hats off to you for sticking with it for the rest of the day.

Posted by: katt

Posted by: b_reed23

thanks all!

may have a few more cals today than normal....storm woke me up early (only 3.5 hr.s of F*^* sleep!) and have to go into work early so I decided to go ahead and do 30m on the treadmill.

was suppose to do legs Thursday morning....but got a few bits of bad news and really didn't feel like getting out of the house at all

I got up today (friday for me

)

2m treadmill, walk, level 10

lunges x10
very wide split squats x10
SLDL with bands x10
calf raises x10
1m bike
2m treadmill, jog, level 1

repeat for 3 sets no rest in between

Posted by: b_reed23

forgot to mention that yesterdays diet was ok, I just really didn't eat enough....had no appetite yesterday.

todays is starting off good....protein shake before workout, salmon steak and leftover fritatta before work. probably a can of tuna on first break....don't know about the rest yet...will post later

the enzymes the liver produces my friend...a 1/2 an apple after every meal with carbs help to replenish it and keep you from craving the sweets. i also get away with SF jello or a small amount of yogurt. helps the mind, body, and sole!

heya sexy grats on the weight loss!

Yeah, that's a big issue sometimes... we were going snowboarding this weekend, but by the time you pay the 45 dollars per ticket for each of us, plus gas to get there... it's still 170 or so dollars... geez..

Hope your stomach issues get better!

Posted by: Burner02

hiya B!
Hope you are feeling better!

Posted by: b_reed23

I don't think it's the flu....maybe just a virus or something...it stopped long enough for me to get a workout in yesterday..

delts/arms
HS mil press 50x6, 60x6 PR!! 65x0 wiped out...

rear lats 15x6, x6
cory curls 60x6, 62.5x4, x4 PR!
cable skulls 50x6, 60x6, 70x6 first time doing these..getting a feel for em..
rope curls 75x6, 80x6 PR!!
rope press 70x6, 80x6 PR!!
BB curls 45x2, x3 first time for these too...I've never been able to curl this much

Bench dips 35x6, 45x6 PR!!

diet was so-so yesterday...at 6 I ate a candy bar...I was dying for something sweet. I had 1/2 prot bar before and after workotu. After our workout we looked at a bunch of houses, and stopped to eat Mexican...I did have a taco salad, but took off 75% of the cheese, and no guacamole or sour cream, it ended up around 400 cals.

diet today so far was a bowl of special K, fiber one bar, and a cup of herbal tea (gotta remember to get more green tea!) 1st break will be WW bagel with PB and a pudding cup. 2nd break will be a tuna pouch with 3/4 cup of Peas. I've also brought along a bit of dark chocolate to work to kill those sweet cravings...

we are bidding on a house today...wish us luck!

Posted by: Burner02

look at you go, future homeowner!
good to see you feeling better!

Posted by: katt

Don't forget your protein Billie......

ok - so - you're not feeling good and you get all those PR's???? I can't wait till you're feeling back to speed ... lol

Posted by: b_reed23

well, after looking at house again and doing paperwork...no time for cardio...

diet?? I don't even want to talk about it...

why doesn't someone open up a healthy restaurant somewhere that they serve fresh meats, brown rice, soups, etc.?? nothing processed or with a bunch of sodium/preservatives in it?

Posted by: Burner02

Wendy's beef patties are always fresh, never frozen...
is that helpful?

Actually, if u are in a hurry and need takeout, their chili is supposed to be fairly healthy. Get that and a potato and you are doing ok.

Other than just ordering "sides" our only option is one "health-food" restaurant.....

When I'm in a crunch, I usually go to the supermarket and pick up a few ounces of deli sliced meat and a cucumber or vege...something like that...

Hey B!

Things are looking brilliant in here!! Whats with all the curls lady?? You won't be able to lift any food to your mouth after all that!

Are you fully recovered now from your stomach episode? I wish you lots of luck on the housing front too. Its something that is just so far from my thoughts, and my budget

Posted by: the other half

stomach flu. what ever. it was that dam pizza protien shake you like so much.

Posted by: Scarface30

holy shit look at all the PRs, excellent job

all the best with the house bidding!

Posted by: b_reed23

thanks all...diet yesterday was excellent!! started making a huge protein shake to drink through the night at work...keeps me filled up so I don't overeat (especially sweets!)

however...tweaked shoulder yesterday at work...which sucked for some of my lifts ...hopefully that will be better for my 3rd workout this week..

yesterdays workout...

rack deads 115x6, x6, x6 (damn shoulder....)
hacks 150x6, 160x6 PR!!, 170x6 PR!!
single HS leg ext. 25x4, x4

Exactly!!! Our market is saturated also.... they figure there's enough inventory to last 2-3 years..

Great job on all the PRs!

As for the house, don't worry about it. Right now, and for a long time, it's a buyer's market. And the longer is takes you to find a house, the less expensive that house is going to be.

Posted by: b_reed23

thanks all for the encouraging words on the house....we have been looking every day this week....for my own sanity I took yesterday off from the gym, and will go today (friday) I have been working 10hrs a day, looking at houses at least 3, plus working out etc...doesn't leave much time for sleep!

yesterdays diet was good....tuna filet and carrots before work, an apple and protein smoothie on first break, 2nd break was 2oz. crab meat, 3rd break was a shrimp and chicken stir fry. came home, made turkey sloppy joes with teriyaki brown rice. then had 1/2 cinnamon bagel with FF cream cheese.

Todays looks like this...before work...turkey sloppy joe and small bowl special K protein plus with skim, 1st break fiber one bar and coffee, 2nd break 2oz crab and salmon cup, 3rd break is 4oz turkey and 1/2 c. carrots. pre workout will be a peice of toat and 1 whole egg. afterwards will be an egg white omlette with 1/2 cinnamon bagel and FF Cream cheese

plus fit a protien shake in there somewhere....

Posted by: b_reed23

since we are being honest...I didn't end up eating my last meal of omlette/bagel...we got home late and ended up having pizza instead...and none of you could be more dissapointed in me than I am

here is yesterdays workout...cut it a bit short because of the shoulder...

inc. HS bench 70x6, x6, x6
HS bench 70x6, x6
row machine 110x6, x6, x6
u/h lat PD 80x6, x6
HISE shrugs 100x6, x6

thinking of going back to HIT soon....anyone got any other workouts that will give me more time for cardio???

Posted by: SamEaston

Why don't you try combining weights and cardio? When i did 2 x 15 for a couple months i was amazed at how high my heart rate got and how fast my workouts became. I was taking a 90s RI between sets, and with only 5-6 exercises you could be outta there in just over half an hour.

Just a thought - and don't worry about the pizza! Jeez, i wish pizza was all i had to worry about

Posted by: b_reed23

think we are gonna do a circuit or something....more to come

Posted by: b_reed23

diet was great today....probably start the circuit training program tomorrow...

Posted by: Scarface30

great workout B

and no worries about the pizza, a little here and there never hurt anyone!

yeah circuits are excellent, as I found out over Christmas break, for the HR. I underestimated them for sure!

Posted by: b_reed23

here is the new workout! Full body, 2 times a week, hopefully will give us more time for cardio...diet was good today, with my only weakness being a glazed dunkin donuts....

squats 70x25
bench 70x10
leg curls 50x12
DB mil press 20x11
leg ext. 60x15
cable row 50x23
leg press 270x8
db curls 15x10
seated calves 45x20
v-bar press 60x20
crunchesx20

upper body was pretty weak today, but lower body went well, anything over 15 reps I increase the weight for next time

forgot to check clock, but whole thing took 15-20m

Posted by: katt

15-20 minutes!?! You musta had really short RI's there?

Posted by: Burner02

ho-lee-crap!
You did a det of squats for 25reps? you animal!

Posted by: SamEaston

Now that is a speed workout!

Love Dunkin Donuts!! On my way home i sometimes walk through Euston train station and they have a Krispy Kremes stall there - honestly it's like a test of willpower every time i walk past. Some days if im feeling particularly weak, i just don't go home that way

Posted by: b_reed23

I had my weight too low for squats apparantly...and ZERO RI between...just enough time to walk/jog to next station

I was afraid it wasn't going to be a challenge...and I was wrong

Posted by: SamEaston

Sheesh kebabs woman - you're mental

Posted by: b_reed23

diet not horrible...but I did get my hands on some chex mix

so...what do you do when you fry your legs in the gym and can barely walk?? You hurt them some more....

20m run/walk 1.55 miles, 20:48

yes...you are in the right journal...I did some cardio

Posted by: Triple Threat

Pizza, 25-rep squats, and cardio. Yep, Billie's journal.

Posted by: the other half

it took a while but i really started to like the full body workout. it will kick your ass in a good way.
good job and good luck with it.

Posted by: Brutus_G

That workout would destroy my blood sugar and send me into a coma or an asthma attack.

hey all! was suppose to do cardio this morning....but my legs are all wobbly and sore, plus I'm exhausted from work. we have been working 10 or more hours all week, and will be in here 7 days this week...the stress there has been through the roof, which is making a small dent in my progress/diet. I need to get into a new field

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Girl, don't sweat the pizza. 2 slices Pepp pizza from Pizza Hut is only 680 calories.

You know good and well that one pound is equal to 3500 calories. I doubt you ate 3500 calories of pizza!

And besides, you expend way more than 3500 calories working out each week I KNOW THAT FOR SURE!

You're doing great!

I'm actually thinking of going into a new field myself! I'll keep you in my prayers that something opens up for you.

Posted by: Burner02

hmm...might have to try this whole body workout thing...you cna have pizza with it? NOICE!
