"It'll never add up" (my journal)
Well, it did. I'm at 151.0 this morning. I do have some oblique indention, so I'm not obese. lol.
After weeks of eating and thinking "I'll never gain weight from this one meal" but when you have that one meal over and over every few days, it adds up. Oops.
Anyway, I'm going to track my weight progress here. Wish me luck. I've got about 15 lbs +/- to lose.

Good luck from me too. I'm one of the unusual suspects! The usual suspects will attest to that.

Usually you are one of the unusual suspects, but I suspect that now you will be one of the usual ones. Originally Posted by boilermaker

Congratulations on being a mother. Only the most gratifying position in teh world to hold.
I am a father of 2 and 1 on the way. And yes I am only 25. I have 2 girls so I wont contest your little boy being the best in the world, however my 2 girls are the best in the world of the opposite gender
.
The one thing we do have different is your spouce is patient and mine is far from that. Must be nice
. Best of luck to you. I will be following along.
BTW-this is easiy the most I have used these icon's ever!!!

Good luck with it! I know you'll do great. I'm going to put up an honest journal as well, and fairly soon. Mostly for weight tracking and "food honesty", as I call it.

My workout 1/31/07:

Bench Press: (warm up - 45x12) 65x8, 65x6
Chest Press machine: 90x6, 90x6

I HATE CARDIO!!!! I did 35 minutes on the treadmill, elliptical, bike, stair climber, spinner. I had my mp3 player going and every time a new song would come on, I'd swap to another peice of equipment. Kept things interesting and 35 minutes were up before I knew it.
Also this morning scales said 150! so that's -1 lb!!

there's the workout! let'er rip!
one tip? Put the over head press before the tricep work.
Do compound exercises first...
BTW...the pic looks great...especially...9as everybody also mentioned) just having a baby less than 2 years ago...Success leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results

Hey! Congrats on the loss!
(u still put an iso before a compound exercise...)
are you wrapping your wrists before punching?Success leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results

the punch. i'm not hitting that hard, do i really need to wrap my wrists?

tonight i plan on doing legs. this is the order.

squats

you have two horizontal exercises and only on vertical
how about:
Vertical:
pull ups? (if u have a gravitron machine ((assisted pull up machine)) use that till u can do body weight ((BW)) pull ups)
Horizontal: rows
and lower: either ddead lifts or stiff legged dead lifts (which also emply trap work)
then...do biceps.
yes, if you are gonna punch the bag..might as well do it 'right' and put some 'STANK' behind them thar punches! Which means: wraps. You can break your wrists or at least sprain then them by putting your weight into the punches...
Are you just punching at it, or do you know how to properly punch the bag?Success leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results

ok, the only pullup maching that we have is a weighted pull up. i can't do
bodyweight pull ups. I can get about 1/4 of the way, but for the most part
i can't do them right now. any other suggestions for that?
i've done a few tai bo tapes in my day, so i can punch pretty good. i believe
i'm using right form for it.Know the Rules:
1. Cardio; 2. The Double Tap; 4. Wear Seat Belts; 22. When in doubt Know your way out;

If no assissted machine, then u can stick w/ wide grip pull downs till you do get strong enough to go to pull ups.
Didn't u say you workout w/ husband? U can try some negative pull ups:
Have him help you get to top of position and then slowly resist going down and repeat for a few reps. (usually done at end of the exercise)
Or, chin ups. They are easier by a little. (palms facing you.)
if your form is good..then...get 'er done!
(when you are punching, hooking...make sure you are aiming for 6" past the bag.)Success leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results
