started creatine today :)

when I was finished I was SO tired...not really sure why. Got home and crashed for about an hour, and then before work took a 15min. powernap...I know I had a decent workout, but damn...that's never happened before. I have been having sinus problems for over a month now, so I hope this isn't related!

Could just be a cumulative effect kind of thing, or maybe you were a little low on carbs/protien/water/life. don't sweat it unless it becomes a regular thing. :thumb:
 
Awesome w/o Sister Billie, You'll like Creatine!!! I would just watch yourself over the next few days, sinus problems can really zap you and your strength, keep it up my Friend, lookin solid!!!
 
Hi Billie. Like the new Journal. It will be very interesting to see what the creatine does. I'm betting that with this, you are going to blow through those bench and squat goals very quickly. :thumb:

On drinking water, are you drinking water during and after your workout? I find that helps me hit my gallon a day goal easy. Also, with the creatine, you need to drink at least eight ounces of straight water right after you take the creatine. Again, these are "easy" ounces to help you reach that target.
 
Ego...yep, I'm doing exactly that! I drink constantly before, during, and after my workout, and another glass after my creatine. I can hit my water goals very easily on my workout days, but I have to really work at it on my off days it seems...but I will get there eventually...one day at a time..right?? :)

hey Ms. B!
Looks like u are kicking ass! I am gonna have to watch out...you are catching up to me too! (Thought I only had to worry about DB!)
:)
Ditto on what everybody else said too! I woke up w/ a sinus headache again today. Go get some meds, get as much sleep as you can...vitamins, etc and kill it. I had to get pre-scription to help kill mine...I still have 'sniffles'..bt much better.
Do be really careful when lifting w/ a cold. about three years ago when I was in pretty good shape...I had a head cold...I was doing HEAVY leg press: last rep of last set. I was REALLY straining to get that rep out...when I heard (in my head) and felt a 'pop' in the back of my skull. I do not know what happened, but it was excruciating! I was somehow able to lock out the weight..then sat there w/ my eyes slammed shut for about 5 minutes. (Imagine having the worst headache you ever had then multiplying it) That put me out of the gym for 2 weeks..

So, be careful! :rocker:
 
Looking great in here Billie. I'm so sorry it's been awhile, I've just been swamped. Like Gary said, listen to your body. I'm learning how important that is and how your body is usually right LOL. Hope your doing great :kiss:

Single leg is always a battle of foot placement for me. What helps me is finding a comfortable spot for the working foot (usually a little wider than normal, but that's just me) and then resting my other foot on top of my working ankle. It keeps the free foot out of the way and lines up the pressure on the working leg so the load is spread evenly.
 
Hey B!
I see u are putting an isolation move before a compound...are you pre-exhausting?
Nice work out!

Todays diet already sucks...I stayed in bed WAY too long this morning, (not my fault, I swear!! :D )so I have very little time to cook. Between making lunch for my hubby and packing our dinners for work, I didn't have time to make a healthy lunch...gonna do better tonight though...chicken:)
 
how is it sloppy?
U allow a little swing on the bottom to start the weight?

U couldn't have told the hubby: "Listen here, bucko....we'll leave when I am finished..or no noogie for you!"
:)
I baked up a big ol bag of chicken for the week...think I left it in for a couple minutes too long...it is a little dry...but still good!
:)
