[Quoi]

Wow lol way to show him!!!! He sounded like a douche bag so don't feel so bad about it!!!

 

[Burner02]

I saw him this afternoon at lunch, so I walked over to him and appologised.
I said I was wrong, he was right and only doing his job.
He was ok with it...shot the breeze a little and I went on my way.

***WHOOOOO!!!!!! FELT GOOD TODAY, BABY!
***The 50 felt LIGHT...and the 85's went up pretty dam easy. I was planning on staying at 85's, but felt good...and as I always remember: If you are ON...don't waste it. So....BOOM, BABY!
** that set of 6@ 100lbs did gas me. I was wiped after that...so still have a long way to go!
**I did stay at 135 to knock out reps on bench. Shoulder felt a little tweaked, so didn't want to push that any more.
** biceps still suck..but hopefully hit 'em a little every week and get them moving again.

Feels good to be back in the gym.
Walked 2 miles last night and am about to walk 2 again tonight.
Will bump up to jogging next week.

I'm looking at taking a cruise towards the end of the year. A 10-day cruise. Should be fun. Gotta make sure I'll buff-n-beefy by then.

[the other half]

well u did better than us, we slept agian today, hopefully our bodies will be ready for the gym tomorrow. my calves and shin hurt like hell yesterday. they are alittle better today.

looks like the strength is coming back rather well.

 

[Burner02]

Hey bud!
my mantra: listen to your body. if you are hurting too much, take the day, rest and let it heal. You'll get it the next day.

My shins still bug me when I walk. Thought I was past that. I told my friend hay, who I have been walking the track with at night that we will bump up to jogging next week. he's good with that. Right now, we just hang and bull-shit and unwind while we walk...not really burning cals...just chillin'...and my pants aren't getting any looser...so...

 

[Burner02]

looks like the strength is coming back rather well.

Thanks!
My chest and legs seem to be coming along, but delts and back are lagging...guess just keep plugging away...

[Burner02]

missed workout the other day...too busy.
Which was almost fine...was sore.

I've gotten a few compliments lately...
One of the women I work mentioned that she can tell that I work out and changing.

Yesterday, was walkng to the PX to get something, ran into a female friend. She also mentioned that she could tell a difference.
heh....and I'm still a fat-ass!
WAIT till the chunk melts off!

Kinda funny...I've got a few of those 'affliction' shirts. (I got them cheap)
if you haven't triedthem, they are cut athletically: a bit tight to accentuate the form.
I gotta admit..they make me look a little better than what I am...bad thing...when I'm working out...muscles swell..(really???) and with the sweat...when I get to the shower room and try and take the shirt off...I get 'stuck'. It takes me 1-3 minutes to peel the thing off. I'm sure its quite the site to see me looking like a 5-year old flailing around like a fish out of water with this shirt 1/2 way over my head, tryinng to get it off.

 

[ncgirl21]

He said only at the sticking ponit, then my force drove it up the rest of the way....seeing as I felt like I had help...I won't really count it.

**** EGO UPDATE!!!!!****
I've started getting a couple compliments o appearance. I was told that my chest looks better..and think one girlkinda gave me the 'I can see that you are working out again look'...
odd...even though my pants are a little looser...tape says I'm down 2" and the compliments...the scale says I'm up 5lbs????WTF?????
I'm eating better...more active and I'm still gaining weight???
Who knows...just keep pushing.
