Still trying to adapt to this myself.

Good morning Ivonne, I'm getting excited now for the Arnold... my flight leaves tomorrow.

It's nearly a new one already and a special one at that!

Jake: what's to be confused about? It's a crappy, much-too-long day. My birthday isn't getting here fast enough.

Vel: i had a hellish kids' class today. So hellish that I quit. I am not going to teach that class anymore. Some of the kids I will miss, but not others. I just can't stand the huge age range - it's way too hard to manage all these different levels of attention span in one room in one hour. And the guy helping me teach the class today always makes me feel incompetent and stupid. And I forgot to pack my last meal and missed it. And my legs hurt from my workout yesterday, and my chest hurts from today's workout, and my eyes are burning from lack of sleep... And I think I've driven up and down Collins avenue fifty five times today

Anyway.... the list goes on and on. Oh and at the stroke of midnight tonight I become a dinosaur. Rawr. 29.

Kerry: Special! HA! For damn sure. It's the beginning of the last year of my twenties. I don't even have anything special planned. Just work. I am working until 9 PM tomorrow. Might not even get to see my folks before I leave to ohio!

So! Enough about my craptastic day -- how the hell is everybody? Excuse me while I go scarf down the last meal of the day... Will be right back.

GoalGetter · 03-01-2005, 08:23 PM

I am mad at myself today...

ok. So, fine. It is one thing if I allow myself a cup of coffe in the morning, but today, I have just had way too much.

And hey at least it's not ice cream. But still. Four cups of coffee is three cups too many because it's not just the coffee. It's the splenda (aside from the cup i had at home in which I put stevia).

No lectures please. I know, I know.

Jill · 03-01-2005, 09:22 PM

Smile chickie!

Why are you beating yourself up over splenda?

PreMier · 03-01-2005, 09:27 PM

I wish that shirt would get there, it would make you laugh

I dont think it will arrive before the ac though..

nah i'm not beating myself up. i just feel like i over did it. it is the obssessive binger in me. it was readily available and i kept filling up. the lack of control is what really bugs me, not the fact that it was coffee or splenda...

and the splenda, well, it just makes me farty in large quantities.

Like my nazi reference huh? lol

**Jodi** · 03-01-2005, 09:42 PM

Just keep the splenda to no more than 5-6 packets a day and it's fine. That won't go away until 1 month away.

Upper

Neutral Grip Chin-Ups
RI 60

bw/3 x 4
bw/2 x 1

notes: that last set was not part of the workout. I just wanted to see if I could do it again... but I should have known by #3 of set 4 that I was pretty much done there for the day.

Incline DB Press (15-degree incline)
RI 60

30/5 x 5

notes: last set of five was a nightmare. I didn't think I'd make it.

Bent Over BB Rows
RI 45

85/5 x 2
90/5 x 2

notes: i could have probably done 95 or 100 on this.

Seated DB Curls
RI 45

20/6 x 2
20/5F

notes: I am stuck at 20lb. I tried to go with the 25lb db's but I couldn't even complete one rep. WTF.

Skull Crushers
RI 45

50/4
40/6, 5F

notes: i was cooked by the time I got to this stuff. Could barely even move the bar. Has anyone else ever felt like puking from doing SKULLCRUSHERS?! ugh...

overall it was a tough workout. I always feel while i'm doing it that i'm working hard as hell, but since I'm used to much higher volume for everything, with such low reps, when I leave the gym, I feel like it was a shitty or half-assed workout, even if i KNOW better.
