hi gary! workout for 2/16/05

I think I am blushing right now...lol...I come up with my own workouts, I read a lot of books and magazines (I'm a nerd) and I put together a different workout each day. Today when I went into the gym the owner talked to me and said that she had noticed how consistantly I worked out, and even complimented me on my routine, so to have her and you compliment me like that is a big ego boost!! lol...

Arms today!

seated dumbell curls: 10lbx15, 10lbx15, 15lbx10
French press: 15lbx15, 20lbx15, 25lbx12
overhead cable curl: 30lbx15, 40lbx12, 40lbx10
kickbacks: 10lbx15, 10lbx15, 12lbx12
Rerverse grip curls: 50lbx12, 50lbx12, 50lbx8
Overhead tricep press: 60lbx15, 70lbx15, 80lbx10

I still had energy after this so I did 1 more exercise for bis and tris:

Hammer curls: 10lbx15, 10lbx15, 15lbx10
Single arm db skullcrusher: 10lbx15, 10lbx15, 15lbx10

Eliptical machine: 30 minutes
bike: 15 minutes

I just have tons of energy today...I think I could have done a lot more, but was scared of overtraining....

I will post my diet tonight...tomorrow I go to hospital to have a tubal ligation, and a D & C, so I can't workout anymore this week , this surgery should help all of the problems that I have been having, and since I couldn't have kids anyway, the tubal is just extra "insurance" lol...wish me luck everyone!!!!

hi guys! and diet for 2/16/05

Thanks everyone...thought I would drop by to post my diet for 2/16/05, I let myself cheat a little bit, but I tried to take in a lot of protein because I wasn't allowed to eat for 14 hrs after midnight, I think it will be alright seeing as how I only took in about 500 cals yesterday...lol...

1.5 scoops protein shake
liq muscle
1.5 cups venison
crackers
yogurt
8oz chicken
mixed veggies
granola bar
and for my last meal....cookies and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...lmao...

calories: 1975 Protein 195

Everything went okay yesterday, they found out that one of my ovaries was trying to grow to the side of my uterus, but they cut it apart, and it's okay, I'm very sore today, but maybe tomorrow will be better, I will be lurking around here somewhere, thanks for the support!! BILLIE

Hi Billie

How are ya today ? I would imagine you are VERY sore . You"re probably being treated like a queen at home though while you recoup. Enjoy it

hi everyone!

Hi Gary, I am doing well, and yes, a bit sore...lol....unfortunatly I am being treated TOO well by my husband, he is feeding me way too much junk, but seeing as how I am not supposed to cook, what am I suppose to tell him...hell, I'm just happy he's cooking, lmao... I wanted to go to the gym and walk today, but he wouldn't let me...I wasn't even able to push a shopping cart for 30 minutes yesterday

So, this time off may pack on a few pounds....I am supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but I think I may have to extend my time off, my lower insision is still..um...oozing (ew) and for some reason I am havnig trouble going to the bathroom, so I may go see my doc tomorrow. Hopefully this will not hinder my progress too much. This is all really depressing...anyways, I will see you guys later, I have been lurking!

BILLIE

Well, i thought you would be very lucky if you got to go back to the things you normally do by the time you were planning on. Surgeries and more stressful than you think .
Keep lurking and come back when you are ready and not before

I thought I would stop by and read this. You seemed kind in other posts I have seen, and I wanted to wish you luck in your goals. Glad to hear your recovering from surgery.
