hi gary! Things have been so hectic...they are saying that there are going to be layoffs at my building in 2 weeks...that means I may have to work 12 hrs a day next week....I may not have time to eat or workout!lol...but it looks like I will have all the time in the world after that! haha! I hope you are doing well, I've been lurking around reading your journal..your doing great! BILLIE

Sorry to hear about the possible layoff. I think you're involved in making some type of car parts( seats???) if I remember right? Is your plant being affected by the GM announcement? They are going to lose alot of money the first half of this year and I suspect they are cutting production.

b_reed23

well, I build parts for Ford...the reason I am being laid off is because of something called lean manufacturing...less people, more work. That's about the jist of it all, I think my last day will be Next Friday, so I am going to work a bunch of OT next week to help with bill until I find another job, everyone today was kinda emotinal about me leaving, so it's been kinda wishy washy for me all day..lol...I did go to the gym today though, I worked shoulders/tris. I will be lurking until Sunday...I am a bridesmaid on Saturday, so the next 2 days are hectic...take care everyone! BILLIE

BILLIE

b_reed23

my diet today was great!
Calories: 1529
Protein: 149

Here are my stats for April 1st:
Weight: 130lb (4lb lost...okay I guess)
Chest: 36.25 (stayed the same, thank god for small miracles lol..)
Arms: 11.75 (loss of .25")
Waist: 29.50 (loss of .25" I wish this would hurry up and shrink!)
Hips: 35 (same)
Thigh: 22.5 (loss of .25")
Calves: 14.75 (same)
My calipers also showed a loss in bf% of 1.5%, this probably isn't reliable, but it gives me a good idea...

I really need to kick some ass over the next month...these measurements are pitiful..

gwcaton

Hi Billie

last couple of wo's look good Judging by the smilies I take it you did extra good on a couple of the exercises.

You are still progressing I see. You never lose as much as you would like but some is better than none . I'm sure the ong hours at work didn't help much. So how is your lay off going so far ?

Oh nice calf those are the hardest to get to change !

gwcaton

REALLY !!! I realize the number of pulleys involved makes a difference but when I was doing cable curls i was using 60 to 70 lbs so thats why I said yours were heavy.

Hi gary! I loved your pictures!! You look awsome...I need to post a couple more in here at the end of the month. For my ab work I usually do seated rope pull downs, and pull downs w/ a twist (usually on the lat cables) I still havent' found anything to help with my lower abs..they are SO flabby...probably the diet...phooey...lol...what do you do for your weighted abs? I am shocked that we lift the same weight for arms...your guns are HUGE! Any time you are in Tennessee I am ready to train w/ya!!

I saw a guy in the gym on friday that looked a lot like you in the face, and I had to do a double take, then I remembered...duh..Gary is from Missouri, AND this guy doesn't have awsome biceps and abs like Gary either...he's just a cheap knock off...*big grins*

Tomorrow is back day, so I will be back to post tomorrow night...take care!!
