It's on...

[Journey]

Thanks Emma I feel like i'm FINALLY back! Today was my last day at work, and my co-workers are so great... they took me out to lunch (i had a grilled chicken salad...just chicken and veggies..yum!) and they gave me the sweetest card. I'm going to miss those guys...i made some great friends there, and the place was such a great place to work..just not much money in social work anyhow...i start my new job as an investigator on Monday... (i begin my week of shadowing) i spoke with the lady who will be training me and she sounds nice...hope we have a great week
just got done working out my upper body..and my arms are shot... not much in my back though I got some back fat that i'm ready to banish can't believe i let that stuff creep back on me.. But hey... lifes a journey...quit bitching and start lifting.. right
So..here was the workout...
(once again..increased weight each set, then dropped down last 12)
Smith Bench 12,10,8,6,12 ss with 12 DB Flyes
Lateral Raises 12,10,8,6,12 ss with 12 DB Presses
One-Arm DB Rows 12,10,8,6 12 ss with 12 Wide Grip Pulldowns
Seated Tricep Press 12,11,6,8,12 ss with 12 Triceps Pushdowns
BB Ez Bar Curls 12,10,8,6,12 ss with 12 Hammer Curls

Now..the tough part... the weekend... I know i'm supposed to go have drinks with my friends... i'm going to try my damnest to say no... if i do drink anything at all, i'll only have diet coke and vodka.. but i really don't want any alcohol... I just start seeing them having so much fun..and i get the what the hell attitude.. but gotta remember..it was that attitude that got me here again..
Ok.. gotta go!

How about you just have the diet coke and leave it at that.

It is not your friends who will 'force you' to drink - rather, it is YOU who will CHOOSE to drink... You can have fun without the booze - so just stay strong and stick to your plan!

Hope you have a great weekend!

ok, well..I made the wrong choices, BUT this time, i'm not going to make excuses and i'm not going to continue making bad choices. I'm not going to let it turn into.. well..just one more day.. or just for the weekend.. what's done is done..time to work harder.. Honestly though, last night I had sooo much fun with my friends! and also, i only have 1 more week here, then i go to 3 weeks of training, which will be NO alcohol..and I manage to do great when there's not alcohol involved! So anyway.. you are allowed 1 "free" day on body for life.. so i made yesterday's stuff my free day. I went to bed at 6 am... so today will be my "rest" day... tomorrow i'll do AM cardio and then it will begin the next week of mon, Friday - lower body Wed - upper, and Tue, Thur, Sat, Cardio.. then I fly out on Sunday!
