Hey, just checking in here. Looks like you got some good plans rolling! Good luck, I look forward to following your progress!

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

4/10
Today is my day off, food wise. I'm still eating well.....lots of veggies, but there will be some beverages tonight w/friend
I have not worked out today and may not at all. If I don't I'm going to do something low-key tomorrow, like swimming. If I run today, I'm off tomorrow. I'm feeling like I really pushed myself this week and I'm sore all over, which  . Met with the Priest today and we ran throught the ceremony....it all feels so real now! |

Hey Jen - I think we will have around 150 people
 more than we expected to come since my parents and their friends live in another state. It's pretty formal, in a church with the reception at a restaurant (directly behind the church). I need to take some before pics this week in my bikini so I can see my progress in 9 weeks on my honeymoon. Weighed in this am: 126.4  |

Thanks Jen....you too
Currently, I'm doing my trainers routinue, but I end w/her next week. She does combo exercises...like sqauats w/push up overhead w/medicine ball. I do lots of squats w/the ball and some lunges. But I need even more. My arms have done really well w/her. I have done everything in the past, so Im pretty familar w/the equipment. I just need a routinue. |

have you ever tried squats unassited under just the olympic bar? - if you dont feel comfortable with those- then go real real deep on the SM squats, until failure. they reallyyy help the booty!
 ok as for sets/reps. If you want to build a lil more lean muscle then aim for 8-12 reps, 3 sets is fine per exercise. if you just want to concentrate on keeping the size they are but helping to lean down some then aim for 4-6 reps, and make it 4 sets. make sure its always until failure though! |

Thanks Jen- I'm not sure I can do unassisted yet. I broke my ankle last Sept. and I'm not super confident on it yet. I will try the deep ones on the SM.
I guess I want to build and lean down all at once..so the 3 sets? Also, would you recommend doing all of those lower body exercises in one session? |

ok then stick with the SM for sure until you feel ready to try the free weight squats. and make it 8-12 reps, 3 sets each.
no not all are needed, but vary them each week.. make squats a staple of each workout though. OH and forgot to ask-do you do stiff-legged deadlifts with barbell or dumbells? those are a must IMO a workout ex: -SM squats -stiff legged deadlifts -leg press or lunges -leg extensions -lying leg curls or seated leg curls -seated calf raise or standing calf raise |

Jenny - I know...the protein is my hardest part of my diet. I am trying to add protein powder to help. I am a veggie, so it's really hard. I could probably post some wedding pics
Thanks for the tip yellow!! We will check that out |
