Que's Journey begins

[Roonytunes]

Good morning, Que-Dizzle! I'm also up early and trying to wake up for am cardio.

Sorry to hear about the back and neck...I totally sympathize since it's what I've been going through for the last two days. Hopefully a hot shower will help and also try to see if stretching and holding the stretch helps ease the discomfort.

As for fiber, how about throwing in some milled flax in your oatmeal in the mornings? Are you avoiding fruit? If not, a small apple everyday could also help. Or you could just take a fiber supplement daily too.

Hope your Tuesday gets better!

uggggh I'm all bloaty & my neck is stiff this morning. Apparently I'm not getting enough fiber, looks like Milk of mag for breakfast.

I think the shrugs are the cause of the stiff neck so I'll see what a hot shower will do for them. I guess that means I'm doing them correctly.

...and it's lower body night tonight!! woot woot

Hmmm I have to ask why shrugs??? I typically don't have women do them because I don't want them having huge upper traps/neck. Not to scare you just wondering....

When I get stressed my neck and shoulders are the first to tighten up, I'm also big busted so keeping the neck & shoulders in shape will hopefully help aleviate some of the stress in that area. I don't use a lot of weight when I do them (#20).

The SBD wraps are pretty good but there needs to be more cause I'm still hungry after I eat them. My favorite is the sesame chicken wraps and the convenient part is the best part.

Squats, presses, curls, extensions, calf killers, Abduction, adduction, plie's, cardio & I'm not sure what else. I love leg night - leg press is my favorite.

The stiff neck is most likely from the shrugs, or you slept on it wrong, lol.

I hear you on the amount of food. If I'm doing a lean cuisine meal, I always add more of my own veggies (usually broccoli).

I'm sure that if I were at the level that you're at - leg night would be far more brutal for me than it is. I like leg night because I actually feel like I've done something. Even if upper body work leaves me exhausted, somehow leg night just seems to be more gratifying.

I prefer the leg press machine with the cable stacked weights. The big guys usually have the plate loaded leg press machines loaded to the gills and they generally don't remove the plates. Right now I'm only pressing #70, if I were up to 200+ I've have to use the plate loaded machines.
