Que's Journey begins

[que_66]

Well I've been toying with the idea of working each body part twice a week. I know others have progressed to that point and I think I'm at a point where I know what my body can and cannot handle. I'm nervous though.

I'm sure I'll have to tweak this workout and work in the cardio 5-6 days per week. I'm shooting for cardio in the morning before work and then lifting in the evenings.

I found this in a Beverly International Newsletter I was reading while clippin along on the treadmill at 3.5 mph. It's the one that fitness models & competitors have started with to get ready for a fitness competition.

Here's the link for the full story

I am going to live at the gym for the next couple of months because I have to get a second job. I am planning on the second job being Saturday and Sunday only. I don't want to give up my gym membership unless I absolutely have to.

30 min on the treadmill earlier today and now the yard is mowed. Cardio for today: Done

I've had a very bad afternoon. I may just drink a Micelob Ultra or two and say Fook it for the night.

I haven't drank in quite some time so drinking 1 should make me very sleepy and drinking two should knock my fat a$$ out for the nite.

I hope your Saturday gets better, Que!

My daughter is a drama queen. (She's 18 & has a 6 mo old)
If there isn't any drama happening she creates some.
I love her but I can't stand the bs, it's tearing me up.
She says I'm evil and went to live with her dad & does her best to not let me see the baby. (I refuse to play the drama game)
Her dad is a control freak and helped this situation along because it meant he gets the grandbaby while she's away at school for 15 months.
He told me today that he's sueing me for college costs, support, blah blah blah and that me only having 1 income isn't his problem blah blah blah.
I'm looking into a 2nd job on weekends only cuz now I'm going to have attorney fees too.

That about covers it.

(Sorry for dumping)

SPIT BEVERAGE ALL OVER THE PLACE.......EXCUSE ME?????? Dear child is 18 FREAKIN' YEARS OLD!!!!! Time to GROW UP and do it on HER OWN!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, Que......she needs a good smack up side the head! ....and so does her DADDY for that matter!

I'm curious as to how she can SUE you for her college education when she's AN ADULT and I'm assuming you had no CONTRACT that LEGALLY BOUND you to being responsible for said ADULT EDUCATION!!!!!

I appologize if that offended you. I am just disgusted at how "un- grown-up" she is!

 

[Aries13]

The idiot dad is suing her! Like that would make the situation any better. Im sorry about all this shi*.... you dont deserve any of it! Just hang in there... Im not one to give advice on this being a kid my self... But I hope it all works out .. and soon.

--->Hugs and Kisses!!!!!!!

Good luck on all the legal matters and on your daughter. It sucks, but you will get through it. My drama is just beginning....

I took a look at the bev workout. You have been training for about 7 months right? How have your gains been? Have you hit a plateu yet? The reason I ask is looking at it, that really is a lot of sets to be doing 6 days a week. I subscribe to the theory that less is more. I like to stimulate the muscles with 5 or 6 exercises and be done with the workout. I think this works well for most people if you concentrate on the les/back/chest/shoulders. I usually mix it up by 2 days each of upper body and lower body.
