No, I haven't been swimming for ages. I'm at that horrible stage where I'm halfway between sizes so can't get a suit to fit me. :(

Great workout, but it doesn't hurt at all... ...unless I happen to actually MOVE... :D My legs are still quite sore from Saturday (which is highly unusual for me), so taking a day off as I also feel a little off colour. I might get some tai chi done later just to stretch me out a...

Went heavy again today. Lowering the weight and upping the reps seems to have done nothing except make me lose muscle, which I REALLY don't like... 10 minutes cross-trainer, HR 160-180. Bench 5x5@72.5 Chin-up 5x5@45 One-arm db row 5x5@22 Pull-ups 2x5 Dips 3x12@45 Hammer curls 5x5@15 Lying tri...

10 minutes bike, HR 140-160. Plank (40 sec) Weighted crunch Leg-raise crunch * Combination * Oblique toe-touch * 15 minutes cross-trainer, HR 150-180 (getting really hard to get my heart rate up there now, so it must really be getting efficient) Did 1 set of 20 of each exercise, rested for a...

20 minutes cross-trainer, HR 160-180. I'm too sure for much more than that, can still barely walk lol.

Well, basically for the last two weeks near as dammit, I've been completely out of commission when it comes to actually being well enough to eat, let alone working out. Got one of those bloody awful vomiting bugs, and just as I got over that, I got another but different... At my St John...

230 deads by the end of the year? Shit, son... I'll have to revise that, I did 210 today (and I'm so going to regret it over the next few days LOL) :D

Today's workout, and it was a doozy! :laughing: 15 minutes bike, HR 130-140. Squat 1x10@67, 1x8@78, 1x6@89 Deadlifts 1x12@110 1x5@154, 1x5@176, 1x5@198, 1@210 PR 10 minutes bike, HR 140-150. Those deads just about killed me...holy shit... :D

Dammit, why did I get out of the habit of writing down what I've been doing? Dumbass. :rolleyes: Did three workouts last week, one upper, one lower, one core (was rushed off my feet last week and couldn't seem to fit any of it in). Diet going well, consistantly clean, approximately 1600 to...

Erotic? Damn...you try it as a workout and I doubt sex will even cross your mind. Talk about hard (no pun intended) LOL :p

Yoga makes me sleepy, tai chi refreshes me, or at least I've found. I use a DVD of the Tai Chi Qigong or something like that. I've only just started doing it, but I really like it for some reason. On the DVD, the sequence I use takes an hour, but once I actually know it, it'll take about eight...

Sunday's Workout: Hour-long circuit class at the gym, another couple hours of digging and carrying yet more masonry about and also managed to fit in an hour of tai chi. Bsuy, busy, busy... ;)

Saturday's workout: About five to seven hours of digging, carrying 2.4 metre fence posts for about two miles and also assorted lugging about of paving slabs and various sized chunks of masonry. Talk about knackered...

LOL She's okay now, so that's something... :D Wednesday's workout: 15 min bike, HR 135-160. Squat 1x12@45, 1x10@56, 1x8@67, 1x6@79 Lunge 2x12@2.5kg Leg curl 1x12@10kg, 1x10@15kg, 1x8@20kg, 1x6@25kg Lying torso/leg raise (tougher than it sounds) 2x12 One-arm db row 1x12@3kg, 1x10@5kg...

Forgot to write up yesterday's workout so will do that tomorrow as I'm absolutely shattered. No workout today and pretty much no diet either, since I spent a lot of time at the hospital with my eldest (she's 10). She's been up all night with abdominal pain and a fever and I actually took her...

Couple of new pics...and I need a decent back shot, dammit! *throws hissy fit* (btw, my hair isn't actually this colour, I'd just got out of the bath and my hair was wet) And a leg...just for Sam, perv that she is... :hehe:

Fantastic to be back, feel absolutely incredible, actually. I'm not tired anymore, got bundles of energy and I'm not getting knackered midway through a workout. :D Did something a little different today. 1600 cals. 46% carbs (all oats, fruit/veg), 40% protein, 14% fat. 55 minutes...

First day back at the gym after a whole week off and I'm feeling AMAZING! :D 10 min warm-up on cross-trainer, HR 140-160. Bench 1x12@5kg, 1x10@9kg, 1x8@10kg, 1x6@13kg Pullover 2x12@12.5kg Kickback 1x12@2.5kg, 1x10@5kg, 1x8@9kg, 1x6@10kg Concentration curl 2x12@5kg* Hammer curl 1x12@2.5kg...

I'll start at about 1500 or so and work up from there, although I'm actually seriously considering about starting at 2000 and dropping or upping it every couple of weeks by 200 until I hit an optimum performance level (meaning I'm still full of energy at the end of a workout instead of being...
