The first time I did these the weight I had to use was very humbling. It is amazing how hard it is with such little resistance!

GoalGetter · 11-24-2005, 08:00 AM

Cow... I know! WOW! My shoulders and surprisingly my SERRATUS/LATS hurt for some reason, more than anything else today! jeez!

GoalGetter · 11-24-2005, 08:05 AM

WHen she logs on to confess about all the non-diet food she has been eating:

Some candy (candy canes, mary janes, mini eclairs)
Home made gingerbread -- I made that gramercy tavern gingerbread, with the beer in the batter. It is AMAZING. Well, it's all gone now, but the Funky family asked me to make another one to take to the thanksgiving dinner at the grandmother's house tonight. hahaha!
Pasta with Mrs. Funky's home made spaghetti & meatball sauce (TO DIE FOR)
yogurt, apples, chicken, salad (trying to pretend to care, even though I said I wouldn't care for the next few days)
more gingerbread
more gingerbread
more gingerbread

And we still have two more days to go here.

hey! Yeah..but your metabolism is so cranked up from your healthy lifestyle, any bad food will be nothing more than a mere 'speed bump' and nothing to worry about..

I can tell when GoalGetter is getting fat, cause her typing slows down -

Hey GoalGetter,

Just wanted to say that I like your avatar--where did you go to design school?

Hi Grant! Thanks!

Actually i didn't go to design school. I got my undergrad in Communication from the University of Miami. All my design skills/experience have come from taking it upon myself to learn through trial and error, from tutorials and books and friends in the business who helped me out or taught me things along the way, and from necessity when I had to figure out how to do things that my clients ask me for.

WHy do you ask? Are you a designer as well?

That's great! I'm the type who learns by doing (kinetic)--I think that's why I like training so much

I'm not a designer although I studied integrated business/marketing design at a design school in New York and thought you might have attended one there I might know of. Coincidentally I'm currently studying a type of communications myself~advertising~for my MBA.

GoalGetter · 12-04-2005, 03:18 PM

By the way, just a comment in general - i think i failed the CSCS test.

Walked in there VERY confident, felt like I knew at LEAST enough to pass, if not more... but that confidence was quickly replaced with "HUH?"

The test was nothing like the practice tests, nor was it anything like the questions in the text book, nor was it anything like the guy in the review class reassured us it would be.

I struggled on almost every single question except the nutrition questions.

Guess I'll know the true outcome in 6-8 weeks.

Rocco32 · 12-05-2005, 07:08 AM

Very informative journal Ivonne. Looks like your doing awesome, I'm still reading back when you started Oly training in week one but I've got to jet now. I'll finish it later

	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...
