Mommalu's Transfirmation Journal

[Thandie]

Thanks thandie
Some guy at the gym this am pointed it out to me. It states right on the machine that beginning weight is 118#.
PS~ I went to my first figure show Saturday.

Great, that changes things a bit!!

Did you enjoyed the show? It's pretty interesting having a view from the audience point.

Well done Mommalu...sounds like you're making good progress - Keep up the hard work

Yes annie...we push pounds

Had an awesome weekend with the weather and just being outside in th garden. Was ready for lunch and had this:

So today my club had an open house. I left work a bit early because it was slow and I wanted to see what was going on. I entered a wall sit competition and sat there for 5min 19 sec before I gave up. Then I did 3 pull ups and 30 push ups. My son did 100 push ups(go Justin)
This is my 20yo son who is in the Army and is being deployed to Iraq July 8th for a 1 year mission with Operation Iraqi Freedom. Please say a prayer for him that everything will be ok and he will have a safe return. Mom's been a basket case lately. This will be his first deployment.
Sorry to ramble...just wanted to exhaust my anxiety.

Mommalu, I'm sorry your son is going away. I will certaintly say a prayer for him. Keep your focus on him being fine and he will be protected..

Thanks thandie for your continued support!! Friday he leaves for 3 weeks and then it's really gonna get tough. I'll make it through...

Today I went to the gym and worked my legs. I was doing squats and was up to 120. I wanted SO bad to add those 45's on there to see if I could squat 135. I racked up the bar with the 45's and proceeded to squat 4 reps
Now I know I can do it!!

That's pretty impressive.
Good job, Mommalu!

Holy cow~ I had to dig my thread out from page 5. I know it's been awhile since I've updated my journal but things are still going strong and I'm still hitting the gym 5 days a week and getting allot stronger. Now my quest...is to cut.

There's a figure show here in MN in November and my club manager is training for it. I told her that I'd like to cut with her these last few weeks and see where I end up. I was instructed on a 35gF 85gC 160gP and workout 3X this week with 3 20 min cardio sessions. Next week things will change.
Like I said, I'm new to cutting and so if there are any tips you can add, I'd really appreciate it. I plan on taking pictures at the 4 week mark. I started Saturday (sept 5th)because I spent the last week in Vegas!!

also~ what's a good ECA stack?

 

[mommalu]
