The elliptical is GREAT!!!!! So much easier on your joints. Plus, I feel I benefit more by using it vs. the treadmill or bike.

Thanks hon for stopping in again. You know, it's kinda motivating knowing people read your journal. You know what I mean?

myCATpowerlifts · 03-18-2004, 12:17 PM

myCATpowerlifts · 03-18-2004, 04:17 PM

^ lol?? ornery??

is that the word used on the water boy? lol

jstar · 03-18-2004, 04:17 PM

Yeah it really is motivating to see people actually reading your journal. And I love to read up on how other people here are doing - it's great motivation to keep plugging away!

What kind of elliptical do you have at your gym? We have a Precor and a LifeFitness One. I like the latter, and it is the only machine where I can get my heart rate up high! I have a NordicTrack elliptical in my basement too---just love it

myCATpowerlifts · 03-18-2004, 04:17 PM

^ at first i thought you said Horney
i was like yea, yea

JLB001 · 03-18-2004, 04:25 PM

Babsie....don't be so hard on yourself about the bf. That was only 3 sites. See if you can find someone to do 9. You would be suprised at how much it can be different. When you do only three, they hit the areas we hold the most in.

Ohhhhh, Mike Davies. His workouts kick ass and are soooooo brutal! The ones I post in my journal are from him. I got stuff from him last year. His stuff works wonders! Ya just have to actually put in the work and do it. Jon hasn't changed much from Mike's workouts, just added in sets to be 4 total with 15 reps to failure.

Augh...gotta go home and change for the gym. I'll post more later this evening.

I know!!! It's awesome!!

LOVE IT!!

The one use if the Precor. It has more of a natural motion to it. Perfect machine!!

ME TOO!!! I honestly believe I benefit better from the ellipticals than any other cardio equip. It's amazing, the dif.

Many PTs do not like it. They think they're over rated!!!! I say....."Get out of old school!"

How is everything going today?

What are the other sites? I was thinking more like 26-30% because of all the water in all. A friend of mine gave me water pills but I'm SCARED to death to try'em out......I wanted to tell her no yet, I also didn't want to make her think her efferts were a waste of her time, ya know? I'd rather get stuff from my doctor.

LOL, he def. hit the areas I hold the most fat in. Oh wait a sec.....he didn't check my fun bags

Those are my boobies

My dad calls them fun bags..........Anyway, my rebound areas are my abs, chest and glutes......some in the inner thigh area. I don't think he could pinch anything from my calf. Those have always been pure muscle.

I hear Mike is tough on all his girls! My PT was his partner for a while until he decided to go out on his own. I KNOW EXACTLY what you mean!!!! Many people think even if the half arse there work out, they'll get the same benefit......FAR FROM IT!!! That irritates me the most. Seeing girls say they're following a program yet, not really FOLLOWING it...know what I mean? You can honestly tell who's been sticking to it and the ones who aren't.

Keep me posted

Stacey · 03-19-2004, 07:19 AM

Heya Babs!!!

I agree with Jill!! You are SO positive for having Endo. I always get sad & feel soo bad that I have it...especially when I think about how I have the most severe stage!!

You Rock!
Hope you have a great weekend!!!

myCATpowerlifts · 03-19-2004, 07:52 AM

GOOOOOOD MORNING!

By water pills you mean diruetics right? Id hold off on it for abit...Your doin great, and you should be able to shed the water naturally...

I myself have injected lasix(a very powerful diruetic) a few times, for various powerlifting comps and a few times that I needed to stip and wasnt carb depleted/water depleted enough for my likeing....all the times ive used it, it was at the last min.....its far from the safest way to go, and you definately have enough dedication to shed it off in no time.

Dont worry to much..Im shure you are gonna kick butt!

myCATpowerlifts · 03-19-2004, 08:56 AM

where is she?

JLB001 · 03-19-2004, 09:08 AM

Babsie...they are: Tricep, Bicep, Subscap, Supra, Pectoral, Abs, Kidney, Quad, and Calf. Add them up multiply by 1.1 then divide by 9 to come up with total. This is the formula Jon uses to come up with it.

Hey there Hon!!! I'm trying to stay positive. It does SUCK though. Sorry. I'm moody today because I'm sick and tired of feeling good one day and like crap the next. I'm calling my doctor again. I'm fed up with this SH**!!!! I really am!...>This is my life and I'm sick of pill after Effin pill.........WHEN AM I GOING TO LIVE MY LIFE???? MY LIFE!!!!! When can I feel normal again, ya know? This is what I'm talking about...the emotional rollar coaster and trying so SO hard to be strong......Today I feel sad and ticked off at the same time. My face feels hot.........

BRB..I'm calling my dr

BabsieGirl · 03-19-2004, 09:59 AM

My doctor is in surgery

His nurse was like OMG

Yeah, I meant diruetics.

I agree. I am going to hold off. It's just that my clothes aren't fitting me anymore, summer time is right around the corner and I feel and look like a cow! I can actually feel the weight of my cheeks.

So for powerlifting, are there certain weight limits for each class?

I hope I kick butt. Just days like this REALLY gets me down and feeling blue. I feel like there's no more hope for me. My life is just going to continue to be one HUGE pill. Endo has run my entire life!!! I'm sure Stacey can elaborate also on this. We're both at our final stages and then some.

You're now trying BBing, right? How's that coming along hon?
