Jersey's "Me Too" Journal

I'd prefer a brat with some kraut, but that looks delicious!
They also have bratwurst, kielbasa, and italian sausage....I just discovered this place a couple of months ago. They only have 5 locations, 1 in Mass, and 4 in NJ, but they are franchising and looking to get huge.

Taking a hiatus from 5/3/1 for a couple of weeks and concentrating on lower body, back, cardio and eliminating all pressing movements to let my right shoulder heal. In the last week it feels much better, but I seriously doubt I'll be good to go in just one more week. Two weeks from Monday is probably more realistic.

Leg Press
warm up
8 plates x 8
10 plates x 8
12 plates x 10 PR

Leg Curl
70 x 15
85 x 12

Didn't like this. Better using hack squat machine, which this gym doesn't have

Pulldowns
85 x 12
100 x 12
120 x 12
120 x 12
Very slow and controlled

Preacher Curl Machine (1 arm at a time)

congrats on the PR.
its nice to get those here and there.
 
Nice pr!

I like the donkey calf machine the best but ours is broke
 
Yesterday's diet

Meal 1: 6 x-large egg whites, 2 x-large whole eggs, 10 jalapeno slices, 1.5 oz monterey jack, 4 strips thick sliced bacon, fish oil, psyllium husk powder, 1 scoop whey protein

Meal 2: 4T natural peanut butter, 3/4C 2% cottage cheese, Texas Pete

Meal 3: 1 scoop whey protein, 5g creatine

Meal 4: 8 oz roast beef, 1 oz monterey jack, 1T horseradish, 1C broccoli, fish oil, psyllium husk powder
 
Nothing sad about that. It is always motivating to start a new program or something different! I'm going to stick with the basic 5/3/1 until I'm healed up. Singles would probably set me back....
I'll be the crash test dummy:mooh:
 
2/28/2011

Cardio
Treadmill, 50 minutes, bpm 100-124, speed 3.8-4.4 mph.

I'm walking as fast as I can but my heart rate stays below 130..... that is actually a good thing.
 
I think 4.4 would be considered a light run to most people. Good job. :clapping:

... now for the important stuff.

All of my friends here remember the crisis I went thru last year with my golden retriever girl Shelby. At just under 5 years old we discovered a tumor, and the next 6 months was a roller coaster ride of emotion. At times everything appeared to be ok, then being told she only had 4-6 weeks to live.

The initial surgery was a year ago last Saturday..... and today is her 6th birthday. As luck would have it, her 6 month exam was today at Univ of Penn (a spectacular vet hospital, one of the best in the country). She came thru with flying colors....

Sooo.... today she had a carb up of her own. Last year on her birthday she could only eat miserable food because she had about half of her upper right jaw removed two days earlier.

Today she got regular breakfast, a bunch of treats, a baked dog biscuit with icing that a friend gave us, TWO McD CHEESEBURGERS, and her favorite canned food that she gets once or twice a week, and a piece of dog beef jerky. She was in heaven....

Here are two pics taken on New Years Day.

She's only 3 yrs older than my girl. :winkfinger:
 
aww.. :) i like happy stories, everything is typically so negative
 
I wasn't here last year, but thank you for touching a little bit on her story. She is beautiful JD! Wow! Glad to hear she is doing so well! Lots of love in her family! That helped her get through! Thanks for sharing. I need a tissue now.
 
Good to hear she's doing well, JD! :thumbs:
 
that is really cool that she is doing so good.

one of our dogs gets a meal sum what like that every now and then, but that is because we leave out a whole plate of chicken breast or turkey burgers. she can eat all that in about 2 minutes.

LOL @ TOH. Yeah my girl has made off with the goods a few different times. She usually is really good, but sometimes the temptation is too great. During a carb up I had bought some tasty roasted potatoes and was going to heat them up in the oven. They were on the kitchen counter when I left to go do something.... when I came back a minute later all I found was a couple of crumbs :) Then way back before I started to do CKD diet I had two TB Volcano burritos on the counter. I turned around to wash a couple of plates. When I turned back around both burritos were gone! She ate them paper wrapped and all!

Then in related story, a few years back I wanted to try Five Guys for the first time. Let's just say Shelby beat me to it!!!

Funny, most of time all I have to say is LEAVE IT, and she does.... sometimes I forget, lol
 
ahahah, mine knows what I mean when I say "that's mine" or "that's not yours" and then she'll leave it alone.

Now other people's food, that's a different story. :roflmao:
