I just LOVE my old Geo Storm when the weather gets horrid, studs on the front and front wheel drive, it goes anywhere! Yeah! Plus the fact I don't care if someone slides into me is good as well,,,,, it's probably only worth 500 bucks on a good day.. LOL

Today low 55 high 77 sunny 10% chance of rain

Come on down for a break!

Wouldn't that be more like "ride them like small horses"?

A big ole' dog party - that's it. Try to teach them how to surf...LOL

today's wo wasn't that spectacular. Got home last night to a foot of snow in the driveway, took me two hours to shovel it. I love our big driveway in the summer, not the winter.

Today's was a couple of hamstrings, seated curl and the butt blaster machine, calves, hammer curls & forearms. In & out....

Debating whether to do my regular pilates class tomorrow or spinning. May opt for the spinning if I have to shovel again tonight (yes, it's still snowing) because I don't think my back would take it.

On a better note, my son came back from the job he had in Kansas (while he was laid off here) so it will be nice to have them over on Sunday for a 'family' day... missed my grandkids & kids

Thinking of baking a whole salmon,,, saw some at Costco the other day and they looked so good!

No weight loss this week, dang.... but I can tell a difference in the mirror so that's good. We are going to continue w/Keto until the second week of Feb.. then go to a more modified 40/40/20 or 50/30/20 diet so we can incorporate some running to prepare for the annual race the first week of May. Running is just not an option on Keto - no carbs = no endurance....

I hate snow !

Posted by: katt

It's ok, I realize it's that time of year - BUT, April is so close (that's when I can take my car out of the garage

) so it's not so bad.

Had a super busy weekend with my grandkids back in town - YAY! Everyone came over Sunday for dinner - cooked salmon, a russian vegetable 'cake'.. just layers of cooked vege's in a springform pan, looks so cool, rice w/almonds & peas and cooked a little chicken for the 'non' fish eater of the bunch. Watched football and had a great time!

Got our meals for this week packed and ready too.. wheee... oh and made some oatmeal/raisin/chocolate chip cookies.. shhhhhhh

today was back - attempted pullups, because 'it's about time' just have to know I'll get better... LOL

pull ups, WG Pulldowns, Rack deads, HS one arm row, CG seated cable rows..

Cardio tonight...

Nice to see "pullups" in here (finally!!!) haha

GRAND KIDS????????? You are too young for GKs!! How old are they?

Posted by: omerta2010

Yeah what he said. See I'm not the only one who thinks so.

And YM your avi is awesome.

What kind of car do you have? Shoveling snow is a good workout!

uh, yeah - the ones that are here are 18 mo and 3 yrs. My other daughter has a boy 7, girl 6, and adopted a boy from China last year who is 4, and they are adopting another girl in a few months from China also that is 2....

Thanks O - you're always so nice.

A old Geo Storm - banana yellow...hahahahaha.. It's a great car in the snow! My new one (Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder) is in the garage until April. It's black, and well, you know maintenance of a black car kinda sucks

ok today's not a stellar day - there are no 'girls' in the room so I won't go into it. Let's just say I stepped on the scale, saw NO progress and it's fucking with my mind today - totally blindsided me for working so hard for the last 4 weeks. Oh well.....

Today was chest - Incline DB Bench, Cable Crossovers, Pullovers and a drop set on a chest-press machine.... which really wasn't a drop-set for me because I was pretty much done with it for the day

I really have to rethink this. We were going to stick out the Keto for another 2 weeks before we changed it up, but now I'm second guessing. Am I not doing something I should be doing? My cardio is up, so that's not the problem, and I've eaten the same GD food for the last 4 weeks. Maybe I'm over-carb loading on Sunday? Is my metabolism fucked up? This diet worked last time, maybe this time it's not... so many questions that I don't have answers for. Plus my attitude f'ing sucks right now - yes, I hate everything right now

I'm sure it will be better tomorrow though

Posted by: omerta2010

TGIF

Just a thought but maybe your overdoing the cardio. All these classes I don't remember you doing before and it might be counter productive if your going to low on the calories and fat. Like I said it's just a thought, Built would be a good person to ask maybe.

I hate the scale too. Not a true indicator of

ok so now I retract my hormonal statement from yesterday. I was down 2 lbs this morning, for a 4 week total of 8 lbs. and it's ok!

next week variation of diet.. right now I estimate it is approximate 1600 + cals per day, which is fine. next week, changing it up to 2 days on Dave's diet and 1 day on the variation (meat/vege) and repeat.

The last time I got really uber lean, I started on 1700 cal's on a 40/40/20 ratio, so in a couple weeks, I'll change up to that or a 50/30/20 and keep that for the remainder of the time until I get to where I want to be.

I think the main reason I don't like the Keto diet, is that by the end of the week, I can't do shit for cardio other than treadmill, it's just so draining. BUT i do like it for the simplicity of it and I really don't mind eating the same thing every day, just gotta look at it like 'fuel' instead of 'food'..

but I sure LOVE food

Posted by: katt

Saturday was shoulders - Sunday was a complete day off

This morning was LEGS!! Seated angled leg press, front squats, lunges, inners & outers & calf raises..

tonight is cardio to work out all the soreness that is coming... LOL

Posted by: katt

I even went up to 3 plates per side on the leg press! I was excited - I know that's not much for you guys, but it's good for me!

Posted by: katt

My ass is officially sore today.....

today was back

pullups, t Bar rows, WG Cable pulldowns, straight arm pushdowns, yates rows and hypers... basically any exercise that doesn't require sitting...LOL well, that WG's did, but one is ok.

Tonight is Zumba, and hopefully my instructor won't find out my legs & ass are sore as hell, because it won't be fun!

Posted by: omerta2010

Wow killer back day. Only thing missing are deads

<--me doing Zumba

Posted by: katt

yeah, we are alternating weeks on those. You'd probably do good in Zumba! Every guy has some 'moves'...LOL

Posted by: omerta2010

Big white dude, with absolutely no rythm doing Zuma

Now that's a youtube viral video just waiting to happen.

Posted by: katt

ok so after work, I went to Zumba HOPING that it would be more cardio and less jumping.... Well, by the second song I knew the instructor brought her 'game' and it wouldn't be easy. and yes, It was all about LEGS last night.... jumping, squatting, lunging... FREAK! By the time I got home, I was to total pain..

This morning was chest - DB flat press, Incline BB press, pullovers, pec dec and incline pushups for a finisher. Tonight treadmil cardio for an hour

Posted by: jagbender

BUTT, you are building buns of steel! Pun intended

Me neither..... we could call it Left Coast/East Coast white man shuffle....... maybe our dogs can pick up some slack......

YouTube Video

Posted by: katt

LOL - yeah - that dog is amazing!

well it was 45 minutes last night of cardio.

This morning was bi's & tri's

Preacher curl ss/ CG Bench
Incline DB Curls ss/tricep kick backs
drop set of bb curls
Bench dips

I am so tired today that it's making me feel a little grumpy... I don't mean to be, I just wish I could take a nap or something. Last night after cardio I got home, had my protein shake and was dozing after about 20 minutes... it'll feel good to sleep in on Saturday till at least 6:30

thought I'd throw in my zumba scarf for kicks! They were taking photos at the fit expo a couple weekends ago....LOL

Posted by: katt

last workout! WAHOO! well, with weights......

shoulders today - DB Press, Side laterals, Front Raises, reverse pec dec

we were suppose to do shrugs (yeah I know it should go with back) but we ran out of time. I really wish I could adjust my work schedule by an hour just so we have time to get everything in! ugh.

last night NO cardio - when straight home and after about a hour I was falling asleep...LOL I was soooo tired, but today I feel better. Going to get on the stepmil after work.

Posted by: katt

ok so I haven't posted in a few days...

Saturday was Pilates and 30 minutes cardio

Sunday was LEGS! we did an outstanding workout, we actually had TIME! woo hoo 45 degress press (3.5 plates per side..yeah) sumo squats, sldl, V-squats, HS calve press and did calves on the Hack machine. They were jello

Monday - Chest - Incline DB press, flat DB press (single arm) cable crossovers and dips in the a.m., 45 min treadmill work in p.m.

Tuesday - back - pullups (yeah YM, I'm doing them again) BO rows, DB Rows, seated cable row (single arm) hypers and straight arm push downs in a.m., Zumba last night

Today - Morning off! Figured if we get one good workout in the weekends, Wednesday would be a good day to take off from weights and sleep in a little. Cardio tonight though...

Posted by: katt

They still scare me YM... BUT I will try them - just for you!

Maybe they will help my lower back issue - in pilates as well, my lower back keeps 'popping' up or arching as my feet get closer to the ground. it's frustrating

whats a floor wiper?

Posted by: katt

YM has a photo on his journal, you lie on the floor holding a BB with weight and rotate your legs (which are together) in a circle from top to bottom... looks like a lot of lower ab strength

YouTube Video

Looks like a shoulder killer for me.

Posted by: JerseyDevil

interesting

Posted by: wraggejxk

powerful

Posted by: katt

ok so didn't try the wipers today - to be serious, I totally forgot all about them...LOL

Last night 45 minutes on incline treadmill

today was shoulders and a little abs.
Standing BB Mil Press
Incline rev fly
Front BB Raise ss/Uprite rows
Cable crunch
hanging leg raises

Zumba tonight!

Posted by: yellowmoomba

No wipers.................

Posted by: katt

Yeah YM I know...

I'll try them on Saturday after Pilates or Sunday when we do legs - for sure!

Today was bi's & tri's - Idk what TOH was thinking... he wrote the workout and had chins as the last exercise

I did.... ONE! ha ha ha ha

Curl Bar ss w/ skulls

incline DB Curl ss w/db OH tricep extension

cable curls ss w/cable tri push downs

then the dreaded chins... and I was suppose to do a set of dips, but I completely ran out of time... gee whiz amazing how that happens when I don't want to do the set

tonight I'm attempting cardio again - 5 days in a row..woo hoo... BUT, we'll see where my attitude is at at 5:00 when I get off work

Posted by: yellowmoomba

I'll wait for you to post Saturday's workout before I comment

Posted by: katt

Posted by: katt

ok so it's been 1 month 13 days,, yup time for a post...LOL well, I'm on the last week of a 5 week'r of Halo Extreme.. let me tell you, that stuff rocks! Going to take a 4 week breather and hit it again! My strength has increased, DB presses are up to 55's... HELZ YEAH!

Next week we are heading over to watch the Emerald Cup BB comp in Bellevue - it's the 30th year and they have 500 competitors signed up so far! It'll be HUGE! So looking forward to all the samples...LOL

Posted by: omerta2010

who are you again? I think I remember somebody with your name that used to hang around on the board back in the day.

But glad your liking your new sups, and that BB comp should be awesome, hope things are well up north.

awww he does like me.....LOL Things are great up here! I just wish I could post on all these boards without tying up ALL my time. Maybe I could manage a weekly post...hmmmm

i have a hard time with it. i follow 6-10 journals is all, and that takes at least an hour a day

Hey Katt! So how does Halo Extreme compare with anavar?

Posted by: katt

Originally Posted by JerseyDevil

Well the biggest thing - it's legal....LOL You know, it's kind of the same, BUT on a WAY smaller scale. I have strength gain, muscle hardness and visual fat loss. This is at the end of the 5th week, my diet has been about 90% clean in that five weeks (one, maybe 1 1/2 days of semi-relaxed diet). With Anavar, at the beginning of the 3rd week, the weight/fat loss was tremendous after that point. libido with Halo, a little up, I've noticed my voice is a tad 'weird'

But like I said, Halo is legal, Var isn't..

So, I think I'll do one or two more rounds of Halo and see how it goes.

Posted by: katt

ok so today was back - pullups, one arm rows, straight arm push downs, WG pulldowns, & hypers.

Our schedule for the last 4-5 weeks has been the same, 6 days for weights, then I have incorporated more cardio - Monday is treadmill or eleptical work, Tuesday's p.m. insanity for an hour, Wednesday P90X for an hour, Thursday, Spinning class, Friday Zumba and Saturday Pilates. This is going to be a no-cardio week and scaling back on our workouts today through Wednesday. Thursday we leave for Bellevue to watch the Emerald Cup, and with over 500 competitors signed in so far, it should prove to be a great show and hoping we come away with a few samples too from all the vendors

I'm ready to take a few days off, just to relax : )

Posted by: omerta2010

hahaah, your becoming a cardio queen.

sounds like it's all working great for you.

lol yeah I guess.

ok not sure wtf is going on, but today's DB Press for chest, I got 60's for 8???? Think it was those Reese's peanut butter eggs I ate last night that gave me all that strength??

Did Incline Press, Flat Press, Pec Dec.. that was it... thinking we're going to hit legs tomorrow for our last workout

Posted by: yellowmoomba

60's for 8 - you are a beast!!!! (in a good way..........LOL)

Posted by: katt

I know, that's crazy huh? Nice avi YM

Thanks - getting ready for summer. I put the boat in yesterday.

Posted by: katt

ok time for my monthly post...LOL

Today is our 2nd week of our 2nd Halo cycle... Got to admit, I'm hooked on this, it's awesome! Great for leaning up while hanging on to your muscle. We are both doing Halo Extreme, I figured that would work better for me that "Halo for her"... he he

We did bi's and tri's today - took it a little lighter just because my tendonitis is REALLY bothering my today in my left elbow (above and below) Finally called my doc yesterday to get a referral for some myo-facial release massage.. hoping it does the trick because I don't do well with injuries. It totally CRAMPS MY STYLE

Standing DB Bi curl ss w/Rope tri push downs (standing curls, because our asses hurt so much from the leg workout yesterday...ha ha) 4 sets

Incline curls, but facing the incline bench so your arms are hanging to the sides - 3 sets
ss w/ what was SUPPOSE to be OH DB Tricep, but I couldn't do those today, so opted for one arm cable push downs instead

finished of with 2 sets of chins ss w/ bw dips

Pilates tomorrow - been doing cardio in 'classes' after work lately, just because I really hate the treadmill work. got into doing the Insane X class - kinda a kick off of the Insane DVD's.. super hard. That plus spinning and Zumba, I got my cardio ON!

Peace OUT! 3 day weekend from work WAHOO!!!

Posted by: omerta2010

Have a great long weekend.

well unless you read this in jun, then ahhhhhh hope your works are still going great.

So I'm guessing you like the Halo product

Love it! Takes about 2 weeks to fully get into your system, I'm thinking. Best product I've tried (that is legal) for leaning out while hanging on to your muscle. We'll see how this five weeks go, may have to do this one more time this summer
