Your shoulder popped, but with no pain?
Do you have a history of tendonitis in any of your joints?
I had pretty bad and painful tendonitis in my knees as a teenager, and now they sound like a popcorn maker when I bend them too fast.

Ouch on the shoulder popping! I hope you're okay.

You have great workouts. I'm so impressed with your continual improvements and you inspire me to keep going.

No, I had a sore elbow a month or so ago but iced it and I stopped doing bicep curls and it's fine now. All through my childhood and twenties I never had any problems..
I'm scared I'm deteriorating as I'm getting older.

I'll try going slower doing them tonight, maybe that will help

Thanks Roxy, the shoulder is ok, it is just disconcerting.

I was procrastinating in the begining to start this log, but doing it has been a valuable experience because it's great to hear your encouraging words and to get tips from people like Zedhed & Island Girl & Shirlene.

And reading on others logs, seeing you come over hurdles and stick to eating plans, making it into the gym when you feel crap, setting PR's and others like Trex still training when her hubby is not well at all and just seeing Island Girl's numbers.. reading it all puts me in a positive and determined frame of mind.. it's good to be around strong and like minded people!!

I'm happy I have landed here.. I'm off to the gym!!

Keeping a log is definitely a journey! It really does keep you on the straight and narrow and helps focus things, even when you don't want to focus. Keep up the good work!

Someone walked really close to me on the last set and threw me out so I only did 7 out of 8... that put me in a really weird mood for the rest of my workout.. also I had an appointment I had to go so I was pushed for time and the gym was crowded. Excuses excuses

Cardio

I am normally doing 3x half hour cardio sessions per week but because I didn't make it to the gym on Monday, it will only be two this week.

Also my eating over last weekend was not good... I ate wayyyy too much. I went to an all you can eat place on Sat night and it's like I wanted to get value for money or something and ate heaps .. it was all healthy, a lot of seafood and meat, but I did have dessert aswell, and it was just tooo much. From doing that it was like my stomach stretched and I was overwhelmingly hungry for the next two days.. I have a healthy appetite at the best of times but that was extreme, I would eat something and then be hungry half an hour later.

I have been in a really good eating pattern but that threw me out

Anyhow I exercised self control and I'm back to normal now.. I generally eat something every three to four hours but hungry every half an hour... that's just not on!!

15min bike
