Holy , it's time for a...

T-Cake MEGA Update!​

Yeah... I have been super busy. In addition to being back at work since last Wednesday -- my MOM was in town and *choke* she actually stayed at my apartment for 4 days. OMG I was going absolutely BATTY... but I kept busy with work and the gym, so that was my only time away.

Missing Log Day #2

I was really happy with this chest/back lift because it was the 2nd MAJOR workout I did with the chest since surgery and I already see progression to where I was. Feels less strange every time I do something directly with it; just gotten get those muscles used to working again.


Missing Log Day #3 -- LAST ONE!
Wednesday, January 10, 2007: Biceps & Triceps

Bar Curl
1. 50# curl bar x 8
2. same as 1

French Curl
1. 30# curl bar x 15
2. same
3. same --> Really wanted to try sets with 40# bar but it was taken... but 30 was still pushin' the chest so I'm okay with it missing today.

Standing DB Curl
1. 25# dbs x 12
2. same as 1
3. same but 10.5 reps (maxed)

Tricep Rope Pull to Floor from Knees
1. 35# "heavy" setting x 15
2. 40# x 12
3. same as 2 --> do all sets with 40 next time

Also added in lots of random ab work tonight and did 2 sets of modified push-ups too -- trying to build up my chest without going too crazy; feels good to use those muscles and those push ups are so easy for me to do.

Cardio has been going well.
Saturday -- Stairmill for 45 minutes at the gym after lifting.
Sunday -- Ran/walked 4.5 miles outside (HARD)
Monday -- 20 minutes stairmill at the gym (Had to stop... felt SUPER SICK)
Tuesday -- Overslept so I took it off; knees hurt PM so I didn't coach running club either; I think I was just so damn tired from my MOTHER.
Wednesday -- Feeling better. Did 40 minutes on the stairmill this morning without feeling woozy or too exhausted. Killer workout.

I can feel my soreness comin' on! Time for some Aleve and bedtime.

I posted all that stuff and my thread got lost! Darnit! Oh well.

Happy Saturday, girls. SUPER because of a long holiday weekend. Going to the gym here in a few; today is a shoulders day. I could have gone last night but I figured I'd relax instead. The way my 4 day split is set up, it didn't matter if I went either day.

Yesterday was an interesting food day:

B: ISO shake, 2 scoops
L: 1 c. ff cottage cheese, PB Clif bar, sf/ff Jell-o pudding cup (Splenda)
D: Smokey Bones Buffalo burger with blue cheese and portobello + broccoli

I got home and did my fitday and I was at 1089! HAHA. HOORAY! So I had a few cashews and some Haagen-Daz ff zesty lemon sorbet. Man alive, that stuff is GREAT!

Today is my official weekly cheat day. I'll do the same breakfast and probably Panera for lunch. My friend's 30th birthday dinner is tonight at Universal Studios CityWalk -- we're eating at Bubba Gump's, the seafood restaurant based on the movie. VERY excited to eat there!!! It'll be a fun cheat meal.

Hope everyone is having a good day. I'm going to do my best to get to everyone's threads today and tomorrow and catch up where I left off. Work keeps me so damn busy!

Thanks, Roons! Yes, the burger is AWESOME! i'm so happy I didn't get sick from it today! I had it once and i was fine but the 2nd time I wasn't fine, so I was questioning if my tummy can still handle red meat. Looks like it can -- I think the last incident was a remnant feeling from Christmas beef tenderloin! And i can't wait for dinner!

Nice workouts girl. Your progress is AMAZING!!!

Hope you enjoy/ed your cheat meal

Workout had increases all over since last time and 3 of those 5 moves I made notes to increase next time too. Something just gets into me -- I get through set 2, i'm dying... and suddenly 30 seconds later I find myself racking more weight for set 3 to push myself. Feels good.

I'm off to get ready for Bubba Gump's and dinner! :cool2: C-ya!

Tell me about buffalo taste? i cannot imagine it..Does texture change?

 

[Ulter]

It DOESN'T taste like Chicken. It's not as fatty as a burger but not as without substance as a veggie burger. That's my texture description.
