Greeky's POSITIVE Journal

[greekblondechic]

No men but I haven't even been out really in the past month or so, so I haven't had a chance to meet any either.. But you're right they are all idiots around here!!

Ty Pylon today I had a great workout. Chest, tris, some crunches and stretching and 50min cardio

 

[greekblondechic]

Lookin Good Greeky, hows the eye, totally healed?

 

[greekblondechic]

The blood is gone. But my eyelid has been twitching for the past 5 days, very annoying, and I still get the usual irritations. I wish it would go away so I can just wear my contacts again.

 

[King Silverback]

At least its almost healed, Sorry that had to happen to such a Pretty Lady!!! Other than that hows your weekend goin?

 

[greekblondechic]

I don't think the allergies are going away anytime soon..

My weekend is ok, my friend hurt her back yesterday so we just chilled out at her house, but tonight I am going OUT!! I have to pick a sexy outfit...

 

[greekblondechic]

[King Silverback]

[greekblondechic]

LoL, I would never go out like that.

 

[King Silverback]

Just a suggestion!!!

 

[greekblondechic]

It's strange how getting out of bed was soo painful (my back) this morning when I woke up but now it is ok.

 

[Jenny]

Hey Greeky, how's the beach body coming along?

 

[Pylon]

LoL, I would never go out like that.

Well, didn't you say you were trying to interest a different type of guy?

 

[gr81]

[greekblondechic]

Hey Jenny!!! As u can see I am finally starting to pull things together here and I am very happy about that!! How about u! I am sure you are doing and looking GREAT!!!

LoL at Pylon, I'm not trying to attract THAT kind of guy..

Aarrrrronnnn!!! I am actually fine, just gotta be careful thats all. I am getting a new # soon I'll let u know

I think I'm going to do legs today, it's always a good workout, burns fat, revs metabo, and I'll be unsore by the weekend

 

[King Silverback]

How are you feeling today My sexy school teacher?

 

[Pylon]

Love leg day for all the same reasons. Glad to hear you are feeling better.

And what's wrong with that klind of guy?

 

[greekblondechic]

Archie I am doing very well TY. The diet is going to need work, but the workouts have become more consistent. How are you doing???

Pylon I am the innocent type..........

 

[greekblondechic]

Legs, only 3 exercises but lotsa sets on leg press (this is the core of my leg workouts) and upped weights on the other. Barely noticeable back pain during workout and none after. 30 minutes slow cardio. The slow cardio is not so great but better than nothing. I get on the bike and read a mag but I know I really should work harder. Unfortunately (or is it fortunate) I like pushing myself in weights much more (not that I workout anywhere near as intensely as some of the ppl on here)


I read in a highly popular book u shouldnt eat for an hour after exercise to burn the most fat and it made me lose respect for the author, bigtime

 

[Pylon]

I know what you mean about the cardio. I have found if I am not lifting, my chances of missing a gym session go up by about 10. It's not that I hate cardio all that much, it just isn't very fun. Oh well, what else can you do, right?

 

[King Silverback]

I agree With Brother Pylon, Cardio is boring and I can't stand it, however I NEED it!!! Glad you didn't get any pain Greeky. You'll get it all together soon, have faith in yourself, I do!!!

 

[greekblondechic]

Amen to that Pylon! I will lift over cardio any day!!!! I wish I had a bunch of cardio buddies so whenever I needed to go, one of them would do cardio with me!

Archie today I had slight soreness type pain, bearable and definately better than injury type pain!!!

 

[gr81]

Amen to that Pylon! I will lift over cardio any day!!!!

thats a great thing thou, I wish more females had that positive of a mindstate towards the weights. After all thats gonna be far more beneficial to you in the long run imo. All those cardio bunnies are just wasting time and potential...

Too right. Most are like my wife, who won't lift because she "doesn't want to look like those bodybuilder chicks." I've tried to explain the years of dedication, training and lifestyle that goes into it, and that you are allowed to stop if you start to bulk up, but she doesn't listen.

Here's my theory on it. When a girl sees other women in the gym who are built better, she (generally speaking here) gets intimidated. When a guy sees other guys who are built better, they (generally, again) think "I want to work out around those dudes!"

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think there is a lot of truth in there...

 

[gr81]

well your right. Its a fairly complex issue as well, I actually wrote a research paper on tihs exact topic a few quarters back. Gender roles in the sport stem from our societal messages that are propegated. We see almost exclusively in our eroticized culture images of tall, extremely skinny female models who look more or less starved, while men see images of a muscular masculine ideal, which is healthier to aspire for? The average women and teenage girl has no positive role model, its either the victoria secret model, or the roided out female BB, so of course females equate weight training with the latter image. Our society fails to get across a positive message to women on howweight training can be, and therefore you get nothing but cardio bunnies scared to touch a weight for fear of ineveitable androgenous sides. Theres obviously much more to it, but its horrible and it pisses me off. Every chance I get to influence a female with teh iron, I put my all into it b/c its such a positive.. anyways, I'll shut up now.. lol

 

[greekblondechic]

But, while most women don't bulk up, please keep in mind some of us are more apt to put on muscle. My legs are huge.

 

[King Silverback]

Did I read "Legs"? Can you say ...

How is my sexy school teacher today???
