And you are correct even though you may way more you still look MUCH better! Shit if I followed the doctors charts for my weight and height I'm suppose to be 152lbs....according to them I'm obese by 30lbs!!! Now I may have a little chunk but theres no way I'm obese...not anymore!

Average weights dont take into consideration LBM....so your on the right track hun!
Thanks babe. I'm sure you will catch up on the dips in no time especially since I rarely isolate just arms.

As far as the charts go, I'm right on target for BMI. However, thanks to training I'm more lean muscle now and plan to keep going. Would I like to drop a few pounds, absolutely, but I'm beginning to think I may look too thin if I drop too much. As far as the doctors, my endo has tossed out the charts and normal ranges for me. Here I am 5'4", 120lbs and have to take 125mcg of levoxyl to feel normal which ends up giving me a T4 of 2.07 (high normal is 1.64) and I drink coffee. According to the charts I should be bouncing off the walls with the high T4 alone

Don't ask me why I tossed in doing tri's today, they are already a bit tender from yesterday and now they are fried. Maybe it was cause lifting partner was doing arms and I said ohh what the heck I my tri's need work, may as well hit them and break up my cardio. He did join me on the second half of cardio. However, I have to admit when I walked into locker room when I was done I was like ohh man I just joined the "I feel like I'm going to club." I sat down for a minute and was like "opps nope I'm about to join the club forget the feeling like it."
Good lookin cardio and Triceps session Sister Devlin!!! And Congrats on joining the Club, Good Stuff!!!

I am such a glutten for punishment. Cardio this morning and then did cardio and shoulders this evening. How do I feel


Cardio & shoulders

Treadmill-30 minutes
3% incline 1.7 miles HR 130-140 (going for the fat burning range)

Standing Dumbbell Military press
15 x 12, 12, 12

Dumbbell raises-Front...Side...Bent over
10 x 12...12...12
10 x 12...12...12
Longer rest then intended, but went into sneezing fit
10 x 10...10...10

Upright rows
30 x 12, 15
40 x 10

Dumbbell shrugs
25 x 12, 15
32.5 x 12

I had to push for this workout, I was just not up for it. However, it may be due to the fact when I'm not blowing my nose, I'm sneezing or it could be due to being tired from AM cardio session. Regardless, I pulled it off and it was a decent workout.

Ughh between the sneezing, blowing the nose and sore throat, I feel just so delightful right now. Still made it to the gym to workout with trainer this morning.

Legs & Lower back

Warmup
Treadmill-3% incline 3.0 speed for 7 minutes

Nebula leg press
90 x 20
140 x 15
190 x 12

Hamstring curl(Technogym) Not done as single leg
30 x 15
40 x 12
50 x 10 + 1 negative

Standing calf raises (normal foot position, toes pointed in, heels together toes pointed out)
100 x 10, 10, 10
100 x 7, 7, 7

Step ups with knee raise at top
15 each leg

Back extensions(Technogym)
30 x 20
40 x 15

Back extensions laying on bench
BW x 15

Bench jumps (left foot on bench, jump up, place right foot on bench, left on floor, then repeat to original postion= 1 rep)
15 reps

Time: 30 minutes (not including warmup)

This workout kicked my ass. I was toast after the bench jumps. Took me a long time to catch my breath. Ended up dozing off in the sauna for about 10-15 minutes. Overall it was a good workout.

Forgot to add, I had my body fat check after working out.

Jan 5, 2006: Body fat 21%
March 18, 2006: Body fat 19.9%

It may actually be a bit lower since the measurement was taken with a handheld electronic body fat analyzer right after working out.

Congrats to you Dev

Whats your trainer say about you working out when you are sick like that ? Guess you don't have any option sometimes though.

Dang, Dev, you've had a busy week. Well done!

Gary-Thanks. He hasn't said much, but he did cut the cardio out this week and last week we didn't jog as fast. Yeah, I do have options, I could opt to not train, but that is not acceptable in my book. Yes, I'm a gluten for punishment.

ArchWow that means a lot coming from you. I felt like crap this morning, but as the day went I felt much better. I was jumping for joy at my body fat. I've gained weight, but my abs are showing more and I can see i'm gaining muscle.

Pylon-Yes, it has been busy, but I'm sure not as busy as your week. I'm basically onkly working 3 days a week, but they are 12+ hour days and then 2 maybe 3 nights a week for a couple hours.

Burner-I'm a gluten for punishment. Plus, what doesn't kill me only makes me stronger Actually since the non drying sinus meds were not working, I decided to try Clariten (allergy med) and what do you know, it working. Sneezing has stopped, sore throat gone, just a cough that sticking around.

No gym today since it was closed well before I got done work. I developed some nice DOMS in my calfs by mid day and it was such fun hiking through fields treating horses outside today. Overall it was a good day with very little excitment.
