mine's ok - it's just that i had the old deplete/load thing down to a science. this one requires a bit more thinking b/c it's new.

oh.....and of course i've always neglected my veggies so now i'm not going to do that so there will be chopping involved. lol

Hi DP (head hanging low).....i think it's more a vicarious pleasure thing when we compare. it's nice to know someone somewhere is eating pb with permission. and me? i'm happy to have my newman's and sweet potato (not together).

mochy - you're right. flax is just fine with me!

so, was this arm workout, part of your new program. or just the finishing touches to the last one?

Very funny page w8!

Hi NG

You are doing awesome with your meals and workout!

You are one determined lady that I admire!

I like sweet potatoes but what I hate bout them is it takes FOREVER to cook! I'd like to bake them but that takes too long, guess I should do batches, but I usually just nuke in a bit of water. How do you cook yours?

i just wash 'em, poke holes and nuke. in my microwave it's about 10 minutes for a not too big one.

baking is better but takes so long and it's been too hot for the oven to be on that long. who am i kidding? when it's cold out i still won't bake them b/c i'm too lazy to take that much time!

thanks for the kind words lina! i was slacking for awhile and i've learned i don't get much margin for error (eating bad). i really lose condition fast. i'm hoping it will come back fast too. and this time - i'm not letting it go.

feels to good to be making progress and feels to bad to be getting worse instead of better!

SATURDAY's workout (10/5/02)

Hardest shoulder day I've ever had. I could barely lift my arms at the end - seriously. I was fried after the superset of shrugs and upright rows but finished the routine with my side and front laterals. Ow. I loved it though!

EXTERNAL ROTATIONS
2 x 12 x 10

SMITH PRESSES
12 x bar
10 x 15 lb each side
8 x 17 1/2
8 x 20

will up the weight next week.

DB PRESSES
10 x 20 (needed a light spot on last 2)
8 x 20 spot on 1
6 x 25 spot on 2

will start w/15 lbs next time.

SUPER SET DB SHRUG & UPRIGHT ROWS
12 x 35 + 10 x 35
12 x 35 + 10 x 35
10 x 35 + 10 x 35

DB SIDE LATERALS
8 x 15 - cheated a bit on last 2 reps
9 x 10
9 x 10

FRONT RAISES
2 x 8 x 7 1/2

I'm out of the comfort zone. My shoulders have always sucked but they'll HAVE to improve now. Have to.

Hi NG,

How are your abs feeling today? Your diet is looking good. My new plan doesn't have any newman's own anymore. However, I am lucky to report there is still one meal with PB. Of course an increase in flax which I am finally getting used to.
