Hey Billie

No worries about that pound ! when you get your schedule straightened back out you'll take care of that !

yes Gary, I certainly hope so...I will be on first shift for 1-2 weeks, to be honest with you, it's a miracle that I'm going to the gym at all...I'm not used to day shift, and by 3:30 I am SO tired...plus, it's packed in the afternoon, so I can only do exercises when the machine/bench is available...

well, I will do my best over the next 2 weeks...also...gary! great journal..again...lol... I think I need to read up on the p/rr/s cycle when I change my routine..but for now I like my current workouts

BILLIE

Hang in there Babe ! Don't let the next few weeks get ya down . You think ya might try P/RR/S ? That would be cool. It's very versatile, keeps the bod from adapting too easily and the wo's change often enough to keep you from getting bored. There are a couple of ladies doing the P/RR/S . Cyndi is the biggest enthusiast so you might ask for her opinions ( woman to woman )

thanks gary...it will be another month or so before I start anything new...I don't even have time right now to work up a new plan I don't think this new job is gonna work out...

Whats not going to workout about it ?

work was a little better today, mostly because I was by myself all day...I work with a few girls my age who like to treat me like dirt, and look down their noses at me...they talk behind my back, that kind of shit...it's SO childish, and some of the guys think I am stuck up because I don't talk much, but it's so loud in there that I can barely hear myself think.. I dread going to work everyday, but maybe it will be better when I go to 2nd shift, most of that shift is older people, and the 2 or 3 that I've met seem pretty cool, I get along with them a lot better than people my own age. (My very best friend is 57 ) But anyways...
thanks for letting me vent...

That red dress you're wearing in your gallery pic makes you look elegant. And not just any woman can do that.

Hi Billie


Hey girl , it's your journal ! Vent away !!

ICE CREAM !!!! LOL

I need to quit being so honest in my journal!!
I didn't go to the gym today, I was SO glad it was Friday, and I just came home and proceeded to be lazy for a couple hours...that's not like me at all, but I think I deserved it
My cals rounded out to about 1550, and protein about 135-140

cfs3...thankyou so much... no one has ever told me that I'm elegant! (of course, no ones ever called me a lady either..!!!!!!!!)

talk to ya'll later!!
BILLIE

Its OK to vent and I do like your honesty. It proves we are not all "perfect".

aw shucks..

Billy,
Well it's taken me like a week to read your journal since I'm at work (hope my boss doesn't notice) but I wanted to tell you that you are doing great!! I started reading because you are about the same size as me and thought I'd check out your workouts. You are making great progress. My workouts are similar to yours too so it sounds like I'm on the right track. I actually look forward to reading. (I am kindof new to the site and have become addicted! I see why your "fans" check in every day!) lol
Thanks for the great read. Keep up the great work!
