I felt 2 things - very very good because I tried some new things (I really liked the underhand grip on the BB Rows and the cable hammer curls) and had a good workout....and a little scared for coming weeks.

Nice workout but you didn't squat with me

 

[nikegurl]

I know...half of me was saying I HAVE to squat. then the other half was telling me that I'd push my legs a lot harder if I did the hacks. Mentally the squats are the biggest challenge - but I wanted to hit my legs more than my brain.

I just know I'll push way closer to failure on leg presses or hacks.

I'm not proud of not squatting but the hacks felt good and my legs really felt it. (but my battle with squatting will definitely be revisted. it isn't over. )

Were you able to get all the carbs in?

NG - your low carb day looks awesome. Now I'm getting hungry

Squats are a beautiful thing! You'll win that mental battle.

what do you think.

note to self: no reason to ever doubt jodi.

 

[JLB001]

I wanted to steal her 8 oz spud! But I'll be nice.

Wish my low carb days were 178. I think mine are 50.

I told you not to worry. It's easier than most think

Jodie - I love SP sooo much but they bloat me so bad and I don't know why not even wheat bloats me like SP. Wait til you see high carb day

I'm hoping that I'll find I'm like Jodi and this plan will work well for me. I used to do below 30 grams a day with a carb up meal every 4th day...and the carb up meal STILL didn't bring me up to the amount of carbs I had on yesterday's low carb day.

I like it. (but I'm still a pudge ball)

 

[Stacey]

Hey Girl!! I just wanted to come in here and tell you that I am very sorry for being an evil bitch last week...thats not even like me..and I apologize!! (not wanting to bring up the ugly subject all over again..but I have been meaning to tell you this)

Good Luck with your goals!!!!

 

[nikegurl]

'nuff said.

 

[Stacey]

Thanks!

[Jenny]

OMG, look who's rockin! Hilary, you are doing so great! I'm so proud of you
I hear you on the rows, the weight I use there is half of what I do on other back exercises, I just focus on form and make sure all is right..
Keep up the great work And have a wonderful weekend!!

 

[nikegurl]

thanks Jenny. you do the same!

 

[atherjen]

great workout Hil!!
have you gotten to a HIGH carb fun day yet?

 

[Jodi]

Speaking of diet............How' you doin'? How do you feel?

 

[Var]

Looks like another great workout! I wouldnt worry too much about the rows. Thats a respectable weight and I think most people have trouble with them at first. Good job!

 

[nikegurl]

thanks everyone. i'm doing great. still pudgy - but feeling good.

Monday will be my first high carb day. I should have had one this past Monday but I was paying for my Easter indiscretions.

Jodi...only diet hiccup was adding an unscheduled Tbs of pb to my oats last night. didn't need that added fat - especially post workout. Shouldn't make my numbers for the day too far off though. (i'm about to see...will post in a sec)

Energy is great and I'm not starving or anything. all is well

 

[nikegurl]

fat was kind of high yesterday. hey jodi - that Tbs pb in my oats really adds to the quality of my life. would it be terrible to trim a few fish oil caps (of my 15) so i can keep it?

[CourtQueen]

Oh that pb sounds soooo GOOD....
but I can't have any... bummer But I am loving the carb cycling.

Workouts looking AWESOME!!! Just remember you are probably doing more weight on your rows then 90% of women in America (ok, no scientific study out there to back me up but I'm sure it is up there....)

 

[Jodi]

Don't touch the fish oil. You can keep the PB - ditch the mayo
