My day will go as this;

leg workout followed by moderate 30 min. cardio [i hate cardio also

Lynda so when coach told me that he wanted me to cut back on cardio

while I build lean mass I was all for that, LOL]. And chasing my

double trouble twins, trying to stay one step ahead of them to avoid

their destruction of the house.

I also need to plan my meals for next week so I can make up the

grocery list tomorrow. And maybe if there is time make a batch of

chili to freeze.

Hi Everyone,

Am trying hard to get caught up reading posts. Happy Thursday to you

all! I have a quick leg workout question. I have upped my dumbells

to 20lbs in both hands and am not feeling a burn in the legs now, but

the arms and shoulders are feeling it when I do squats and lunges.

Should I up the weights again or increase the reps on the legs? Or

is there some other technique I can do to get to a ten intensity

again with the legs? Thanks in advance!

Today is better than it could be... I have a head/chest cold. It's cardio day

for me, so I got up to put my running gear on and it was pouring down rain

outside and 50 degrees. I debated and debated for about 2 minutes... then I DID

IT! I didn't get my heart rate up to 175 beats per minute (my 10) but did reach

168. Not bad for a sick girl. My lungs now feel much clearer and I feel a lot

better!

I bought a smoker early this summer and have been smoking my own salmon

(marinaded in soy sauce and honey). Smoked a big fish yesterday and it was so

delicious! I also smoke turkey and chicken. I love having this stuff around

for quick tasty protein.

Happy Thursday to all of you!

Happy Thursday

, for some reason, the comment about getting your pup's rear end

in shape has struck me so funny that I keep giggling. I have this

image of her turning to gaze proudly at her butt in a mirror!! My

dog's butt does not need any help- she used to do something called

pacing where she would move the legs on one side forward together

instead of the legs on opposite sides together. Gave her QUITE the

sexy swaying hips. (obviously NOT a show dog!) Sounds like your

meals are coming along- no comment on the ice cream though When

are you startign BFL for " real " ??

Joann, I'm jealous of you doing such light cardio since cardio is not

one of my favorite things!!

Lori, can you feel the muscles developing in those areas that are

bigger? I know I was walking around for weeks feeling my legs and

butt in awe at what was developing under the fat!! Are you writing

everything that you eat down so that you know exactly how much you

are eating. Are you feeling stronger? More energy? Changes are

probably happening that you can feel, but not see yet.

My workout today will mainly consist of alternating sets of lat

pulldowns and pushups. I try to do the PU very slowly, touch my

chest to the floor, and flex my pecs on each one. I'm raising my

weight on my pulldowns today- I hurt my shoulder a couple months back

and am just now getting to where it feels normal. Pushups are so

much fun- at this time last year I did my very first one ever. I'll

have to see how many I can do in a row, I'm hoping about 20.

If anyone eats at Chevy's a good balanced meal is their grilled

chicken salad. Leave off the chips and cheese, double the beans and

use plain salsa as dressing . that was my dinner last night.

How is everyone?

Petra, great job on upping the weights. Keep the 20 lbs and concentrate as hard

as you can on your quads. Ignore the aching arms and hands (I have the same

problem). Focus on those quad muscles and tighten them up even more. Your arms

will get used to it and your legs are benefitting.

So glad to hear things are looking up for you .  Even if it's just your mood, that is most important.  I'm sure everything else will fall into place as well.Enjoy your vacation day!Darcy

I'm back. The funk has lifted. I slept a little better last night, and only woke up angry one time. I managed to go back to sleep. The phantom-job pain is starting to fade a little.

I did Ellen Barrett's Super Slimdown Pilates Yoga Blend. That's a fave. Not a big calorie burn, but my goodness, it straightens things out. My butt and hamstrings are soooooooo sore from yesterday's CLX bowler's lunges. My glutes are on fire. Sheesh! The pilates stuff helped.

After that, I finished updating the resume and sent some out.  That was therapeutic! Then I did a bunch of other therapeutic stuff, like dishes and laundry. Then I went to a walk and did all my errands. It was GORGEOUS outside.  

I had almost 4 weeks vacation pay on my last check. That's because I was too busy to take my vacation days. Well, I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow. No job search. I'm going out to play all day. I'm thinking galleries, long walk, and photos. Well, I might load my resume on my blackberry so I can check craigslist and shoot off a resume from my picnic table at Golden Gate Park.

Healing thoughts to everyone with owies, stress, and difficult family situations! I hope you can find a bright place in your day.

I've been having terrible problems as well. This morning I had no messages and that just never happens, then all of a sudden I had 30 this afternoon around 1:30 p.m. and the times on them were from last night, middle of the night and from this a.m. I don't know what's happening, but I'm barely getting any from the group also. /FL

I’ve been having a problem for a couple of weeks now with mail (this is just a portion of what it’s been doing to some of the messages) and it’s not all the messages and not all the groups so I’ve had no luck trying to figure out how to fix it. There’s also been an incredible delay on messages – I sent one to another group 35 minutes ago and it just came back in to my box now.

Ah well, one day it might fix itself.
