I'm sure I'll do a little shopping after Christmas -- there's always returns, especially now that my family hasn't seen me since June (most of them) and they have no idea what size I am.But yes -- it was verified today by my parents (the good ones, not my odd mother) that they did buy me a Victoria's Secret gift card for Christmas. I had to ask because otherwise, I would have been ANNOYED if I waited to buy new bras when I could have had them NOW! But now I get to spend the card at the BIG SALE!
Yahoo! Bunz said something about pics of me over on her thread -- yeah, I know I'm in dire need... but I honestly don't have any. I definitely will after Christmas for sure.

I know I'm addicted to training when...
* I wake up and think "Oh wow, I'm not that sore!"
* Within 5 more minutes, I'm thinking about "What can I lift today?"
Guess I'm chompin' at the bit to get over there, eh?
You'd never know it though by the hour I just spent answering emails.
Yay for training!

Eh, I feel like telling what I did today.
Cardio
* 8 minute warm-up, level 9 on stationary bike for my knees
<insert weightlifting here>
* 30 minutes on the treadmill, did 3.15miles (a 5K) in 29:55
* 10 minutes on the stairmill, level 8-9 to work out the kinks in my knees; did kickbacks and some sidesteps
WeightTraining
Very sporadic today. Feelin' pretty sore in the lower body so I'm not touching that quite yet -- my legs grow real fast anyway and they're still pretty big (muscle-wise -- thank God for genetics!) so they can take the break.
Upper Body Day
From what I can remember...
1) Bicep curls -- 20# dbs, 3 sets (x12, x10, x8)
2) Compound move: seated lateral raises to chest press... 10# dbs, 3 sets x 10
3) Standing side lateral raises -- 10# db, 3 sets x 12
4) Tri Pushdown -- 35#, 2 sets with v-bar, 2 sets with the rope
This was FREAKING ME OUT, because it didn't HURT my pecs, but I could feel them move... WEIRD... I kept running to Ulter saying "Are you SURE I can't get hurt?" He said "The doctor TOLD you to do it! GO!"
5) Tri Kickbacks -- 15# dbs, 3 sets x 12 ea side
FELT GREAT! Not too shabby!
There's so much more I wanted to do at the gym... but I'm waiting for my legs to heal up from the running before I go back to Good Mornings... and I want to wait a week to do anything directly to my chest (Smith Press, Arnold Press, french curls, etc.)
I'm such a weenie.
Diet
PWO was lunchtime:
* 2 scoops ISO in 3/4 L Crystal Light (drank 2L H2O at the gym!
)
* Homemade Turkey O' Toole
- Soft pretzel baked in the oven
- 6 oz turkey breast
- 1 slice part-skim mozzarella cheese
- Hot n' Spicy mustard
SUPER TASTY!
* 1 yellow potato, sauteed in EVOO with rosemary and parsley
Midday snack:
* 1/2 oz almonds
* 3/4 c. chicken salad I made with shredded rotisserie chicken, ff mayo, season salt, cut up apple and celery
Dinner:
This was our holiday meal!
* Stuffin' muffins (stuffing made with apple, onion, celery, chicken broth, and prepackaged stuffing mix -- 200 calories for 2 muffin tin muffin-sized pieces... AWESOME!
* 1 slice whole grain bread
* 3/4 c. mashed potatoes (by me -- ff sour cream, little spray butter, no trans fat)
* 4 oz turkey breast
* Cran-applesauce (all natural applesauce heated stovetop with 1 can whole cranberry sauce -- DELISH!)
* crustless pumpkin pie made with ff evaporated skim milk, Splenda, and egg sub
Oh yeah -- it was a FEAST! Ulter was stuffed... I was stuffed... we were all rolling around the apartment with full bellies. Good day!

I love how you were able to clean up all these recipes to have a total holiday feast! I wanna come next year You're doin' great, T-cake! Great time on the treadmill...running is so my anti-forte that I don't think I've broken 3 miles under 30mins before. And of course, you had to jump on the stepmill right after and show me up more
I think the incline bench press compound move is a great idea. I'm going to have to try that too. Have a great day, girlfriend!
