Hey girl. Just dropping by to say hi and that you are wonderful.

Hey sister! Thanks for the kudos.

Good morning!! Way to stick with it through the holidays!

I was so proud of myself too! Thanks for taking notes of it! It's amazing how engrained this is in me now -- and honestly, my main motivation (aside from obviously burning off any minor or major indulgences over Christmas) for living in the gym despite my travels and break from work was... BLOATING. Yeah -- never knew what that was like and now I bloat SO easily and HATE IT that I'll run my ass off to prevent it.

Happy New Year, Ms T-Cake!!

I know the past year was such a positive turning point for your life, so I can't wait to see what all you accomplish in 2007!

HI ROONS!!! Yes, 2006 was extremely big for me. I just got some pictures from my dad today from Christmas Day and HOLY I didn't even recognize myself! Kind of freaky... but good I'm sure.

Exercise Log for Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2007
I'm not going to post my food daily, especially when I'm running behind in logging, but I'll at least get my lifts up and posted here when I can.

Bicep & Tricep Day

Bar Curl
1. 40# curl bar x 12
2. same
3. same
Next time I'll try the first set with a 50# bar -- pecs were still a little sore from the chest lift 2 days before.

French Curl
1. 30# curl bar x 15
2. same
3. same
EEK! REALLY don't like how these feel -- no PAIN... just odd feelings. Going to keep this the way it is for now until I don't feel odd anymore...but I don't think I isolated my tris well enough because I wasn't focused on that, so I think I'll go back to DB kickbacks.

Standing DB Curl
1. 25# DBs x 10
2. same
3. same
WAHOO -- those are back to norm. Goal is reach all sets of 12 reps before moving to 30s

Tricep Rope Pull to Floor (from the knees)
1. 30.5# x 15
2. 32.5# x 15 start here next time
3. 35# x 15
No pectoral weirdness here like before, so that is WONDERFUL!

All in all, good workout again. Happy with it -- making progress.

Cardio for Tuesday, January 2, 2007 --> After lifting; all empty stomach
- 45 minute run on the treadmill, speeds 6.4 to 7.0, incline 0.5
- 15 minute walk uphill

Cardio for Wednesday, January 3, 2007 --> 6am, empty stomach
- 30 minute run on the treadmill, speeds 6.4. to 7.0, incline 0.5 or 1.0
- 10 minute walk uphill, speed 4.2
No PM lifting today -- went back to work today! Crazy children!

So the plan for tomorrow and Friday -- seeing that my 1/2 marathon is Saturday morning at 6am -- is to get my last run in tomorrow morning alone and then COACHING run after school tomorrow too. Friday I won't run, I'll use the stairmill instead so my legs are still crankin' but my knees get a day off.

Getting excited for my race on Saturday! I have a lot of people pulling for me, so it's a great feeling. I think I can do it!

OK off to bed I go!

Hey all.

Fitness Log for Thursday, January 4, 2007
- 15 minutes on the stairmill
- 7 minutes on the treadmill walking

Ok, and sadly that is all.

I was SO upset -- but honest to God, I felt sick. Ulter went with me this morning and I had the worst time getting out of bed... then I finally made it to the gym and had this lame-ass workout I am disappointed in.

So why sick AGAIN? Buffalo.

Yeah -- had a buffalo burger last night -- red meat -- and my stomach hates me for it. Luckily, after drinking some baking soda in water, my tummy settled and I quit feling sick by 10am... but man, I'm so annoyed.

It didn't help matters that my knees hurt like heck today... lots of rain here the last few days -- and then I got to school and my team leader (in middle school, you teach on teams) was bitching about SOMETHING right off the bat. Glorious.

I'm making the most of it, though. Surviving.

I'm due to lift tonight at the gym and I'm doing running club after school, but I hear we're not going too crazy at that. Lord knows, the kids didn't run over the holiday break like some of us did!

Not sure if I will do legs or upper body tonight. I'm sort of afraid to do legs 2 days before a 1/2 marathon. If I kill them and they are sore on Saturday for the run, I'll be real sorry... I guess I answered my own question!

 

[sbt2082]

Awwwwwwwwww sorry to hear bout the feeling sick again hun!!! Stay away from that red meat Hope you start feeling better soon... and from past experiences I wouldn't do legs a couple days before a half marathon either because I remember the last time I did a spin class then tried to train legs... well it made my leg workout very crummy so I would only imagine it having the same affect vice versa, my $.02

Feel better sweetie!!! (((HUGS)))

Thanks, duckie. You're right, I'm definitely doing upper tonight instead. I think I'm due for shoulders, which is a pretty quick workout assuming no one gets in my way. We'll see about that.

I'm such a sourpuss today... blah!

Drop the sourpuss attitude ASAP
If I turned my attitude around the last couple of days then I have no doubt that you can do the same as well

Don't make me call ya

Feel better soon, T-Cake!!!
