Hi Ivonne, just popping by to see how you are doing?

 

[naturaltan]

[Velvet]

[P-funk]

P is pretty close to us up here

It's warm here too and sunny, but yesterday it was freezing rain ...did you get any of it?

yeah.

It is weird. One day freezing rain and sleet/snow. The next day warm and 65 degree.

 

[GoalGetter]

ok....the guy who got the bar off your chest...did he pull it off..or just get u past the sticking point so you could do the rep? Big difference.

He put his fingers lightly under it, and applied just enough pressure so that i could lift it up off my chest and eventually put it back on the rack. it was good, imho. He was gonna just pick it up and take it, and iw as like, "no no.. .just help me finish this..." hahahahaha!

...I know I got the 1st two out..but I flet him puilling on the 3rd and 4th. I felt cheated..and could not count those as reps...little fuqqer..

That's exactly what i tried to avoid by telling him to just help me finish it.

congrats on fate bringing u and that guy with too many leads together! Wahoo!

Im excited. and this other gym i interviewed/auditioned wiht a while back just called me today for a second interview.... monday afternoon.

I am still finalizing paperwork to transfer my license over to the new realty company. I have to spend a butt load of money here in a bit for my E&O insurance. (Insurance realtors have to have..kinda like malpractice insurance for doctors)

Personal trainers have to have insurance too expensive, especally for someone like me, starting out, with no money to pay for all that stuff! jeez.

good luck wiht the realty company!

I also have to get studying on my lending side too..I have people that want to refinance their houses..and I will be able to do that!

AWESOME! you're diversifying!

You and I are gonna have banner years, kiddo! You ARE going to the 'O' in October? Or..maybe Ohio in March?

I plan to go to both, actually... Let's hope i can afford to! hahahaha!

oh..be careful in NYC..there are large, musculy guys that are muggers there...

I bet if i an nice to the muscly muggers they will be nice to me.

 

[GoalGetter]

As long as he seems to be in stable condition, you should be happy. Considering the situation, those are very positive results.

Yes. We are all happy. Relieved. Honestly I only found out about the surgery like two days before it happened. My family is weird like that... they wont' tell me anything so i won't worry, and then spring it on me at the last minute, or sometimes even AFTER the fact.

My dad was back at work this morning, and when i called him at 830, he was still working. so i guess this means he's A-OK. for now at least ....

 

[GoalGetter]

That's an awesome workout Ivy 80 on the bench eh? We are neck and neck..hum and I'm benching at noon, maybe I'll try 85 now that you've motivated me to do so Lots of PB's in that workout, you should be very proud

hey! so how did you bench? didi you beat me?? did you do 85/ i have not been online much, so i haven't been reading. It's so hectic, this part time job that is really a full time job. hahahahaha jeeeeeez.

I miss talking to my IM peeps all day long.

 

[GoalGetter]

Great, I'll bring the stuff with me. The stuff, yeah, like I was a drug dealer...

don't think i'll make it to doral tomorrow man. gotta finish up some stuff around here, and have that meeting, and dammit... my life feels like it's not mine lately.

but i'll call you some time soon...

 

[GoalGetter]

Diana: Hello! How's everything?

p-funk:

She just started a new job at a gym as a trainer. It is hard when you first start as most chain gyms want you to give them your life for the first few weeks...between floor shifts, complimentary workouts and usually a 3hr class or meeting daily for the first few weeks it is tough to have time for anything else. She should be better next week.

That is exactly right. I have temporarily sold my soul to bally total fitness.

I am not giving him away. he got all excited and jumped up and wont go back down. My monkey hurts.

Poor monkey...

BC/NT/Velvet: Hi folks! Thanks for coming by, even when i've been such a neglectful friend... Hello!!!!

 

[PreMier]

Things die when you neglect them.

 

[GoalGetter]

36 days until she comes here......that is a long time to have a hard on.

just say the word...

 

[GoalGetter]

Things die when you neglect them.

OH MY GOD! I'm KILLING MY FRIENDS!!!!!

no but seriously... things should ease up a bit this weekend. I will have time to loaf a bit, which i've rarely done... i'll catch up wiht all of you.

 

[BritChick]

OH MY GOD! I'm KILLING MY FRIENDS!!!!!

Feel better now, cunt? hahahhahahah! (oh my god, i dropped a c-bomb!)

Things are going well... i'm a little stressed, pulled in a few diffrent directions at the moment, but slowly but surely I'm figuring it all out.

Hopefully I'll catch you on MSN this weekend at some point and we can catch up for real.

How are things with you? How is your contest prep/dieting going?

Workout - January 14, 2005

Shoulders

Arnold Presses
RI: 45 seconds
Weight: 20lb DB's

1 x 10
1 x 9
1 x 7
1 x 8 (failure)

Front Raises
RI: 45 seconds
Weight: 12lb DB's

3 x 10
1 x 13 (failure)

Notes: I will go for 15lb db's next time.

Side Raises
RI: 45 seconds
Weight: 12lb DB's

2 x 10
1 x 9
1 x 13 (failure)

Notes: honestly, that last set was kinda sloppy toward the end. I did make it to 13 (or 12.5) and had to stop, but the last two reps were really ugly.

Standing BB Shoulder Press
RI: 45 seconds
Weight: 40 and 45lb

2 x 40lb x 10
2 x 45lb x 7/6 (near failure on 6 but didn't want to drop the bar, so i stopped there)

Notes: I've never done standing BB presses before. It was a little bit awkward at first but once I balanced myself up, it wasn't so bad.

Face Pulls (seated)
RI: 45 seconds
Weight: 45lb

1 x 10
1 x 8
1 x 7
1 x 5

Notes: I'm not sure if I should work rear delts on shoulder day or back day. The way I was doing it before I did it along with back... thoughts? suggestions?

Overall, it was a good workout. I worked off some frustrations in there today. Grrrr.

-------------

New split:

Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Back
Wednesday: Off (abs)
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Shoulders
Saturday: Arms and Abs
Sunday: Off

 

[PreMier]

I would hit rear delts on shoulder day.. and rhomboids on back day(which you didnt work today anyway). But what do I know

How are you?
