Excellent full-on workouts and good looking food plan. Yay Que! (And the trainer is going to be SO surprised that women 'of a certain age' can get better results than HE can - dedication is a wonderful thing!)

Thanks!
There's no way I would ever pay this kid for his services. EF's women's forum is my professional training staff

I love this place.

Workout was:
Again, embarrasing to say the least.
Upper body is SO weak. ('cept the biceps...hehe that tomorrow)

-Shoulder press machine - up - 3s - 10r #3 (it doesn't say lbs. just 1,2,3,4, etc.)
-Shoulder press machine - front - 3s - 10r - #3 ^^same machine, diff grip
-Side lat press - 3s - 10r #25
-Rotary machine - 4r #25 (can't seem to get the hang of this one and #25 is lowest weight. Off the list until I'm stronger.)
-Incline lat machine - 3s - 10r #10/0/0

I struggled on the last half of the 3rd set on almost all of these. I just took a deep breath and tried to concentrate on the muscles I was supposed to be working and repeating to myself: Puusssssshhhhhhhhhh 7, Puusssssshhhhhhhhhh 8, etc. etc.

Abs:
Machine Crunches, 2s - 20r/10r #40 (This machine is NOT made for short busty people.

Stationary Bike
1 min - level 15 (all out push)
10 min - level 7 (seat is uncomfortable due to mother nature's bs)
1 min - level 15 (all out last 30 seconds)

Walked the dog
.5 mile round trip, fast pace.
Only stopped 4,689 so he could p on everything

"Maxwell" my snoodle

Ha ha ha....he looks a lot like my Sadie. But she's a Pom/Min. Schnauzer mix. Her face is more like the latter of the two.

Good job pushing those reps out. Sometimes it just takes a couple of deep breaths, a small pause, and re-focus. Once you get your head in the right place - you push 'em right out! Great job, Que!

awww the dog looks so cute! I always wanted a dog (boxer) but could never get one. One of these days when Im all grown up (lol) I will.

*Props on a hard work out...keep up the good work.

Thanks ladies!

Well today the scale says I'm up 2 lbs but I know why and I know it's only temporary.

Shoulders don't hurt but they and my upper back are a little tight. I only really "feel it" when I put my hair up and had my hands above my head.

My whole body is tired and I'm just lethargic today. That's normal for me and it too shall pass. I doubled my iron supps for the next few days to help combat the problem.

Tonite is Biceps & Triceps night.
Biceps are in decent shape because I'm constantly moving computer equipment, doing home repairs, etc.. You could already see definition in my biceps area before I started at the gym so I think they will cut nicely once my body fat % drops.

Triceps on the other hand, those are saggy, weak and icky to look at. Gonna be hard to get rid of the fat I have there. I may have to invest in some Yohimburne DF at a later date. I won't get the YES because I'm sensitive to stimulants.

It's raining and icky here and all I want to do is take a nap while curled up with a heating pad.

I should probably call the crisis center and ask for a peanut butter intervention......I just can't bring myself to toss the jar.
