T-Cake, I hope you feel better soon. Take it easy. You'll feel better faster, then you can get right back on track.

That sucks, I hope it gets better soon. take a nice hot bath and do something pretty for yourself (hair, nails) that always makes me feel a little better. take time for you!

Love ya', ck. Congrats on the 1-year and Plat, by the way, too. I did trim up my nails and fixed the brows a bit... but other than that, resting and sleeping 9 hours the last 3, 4 nights has been the thing to do for me to at least feel a LITTLE better.

Don't worry...that would be me!

Hope you feel better. Good luck on your test.

Man, I wish it was that easy that *I* would be the one taking the test -- but I had to be the proctor for those two damn days! Just driving me crazy, my students -- but those are now over, so reading and math are done... but MY subject (science) is Monday so I have two days to go of nonstop review and notes. Ugh -- frustrating but necessary. I'll sleep GREAT on the way to the Arnold Friday night!

And as for the Tubby Crown -- we can share it if needed.

Feel better T-cake!!

Thank you, darling. Wish you were coming this weekend!

T-Cake, I hope you feel better soon. Take it easy. You'll feel better faster, then you can get right back on track.

++++ vibes all around, thank you.

Well that's why I wanted to come post -- I woke up this morning a TAD better than yesterday. Felt functional a little sooner in the morning but I was still tired. I didn't do cardio again today but I'm not feeling too bad about that.

Lots of big things to do at work today, teaching -- left work, went to turn in my taxes to be filed for FREE (Wahoo!) by a guy working for our teacher's association. So those will be done by next week -- easy enough and I should get a big return because I moved last year and have lots of work expenses from my old school that I left behind in MI.

I made it home EXHAUSTED and cranky. Ulter was going to go train and I just didn't want to go, had a headache, crab crab crab... so I changed into my gear, we went to eat dinner and headed to the gym.

Imagine that -- suddenly I was okay. I'm such a . I was sniffling the whole time but I managed a good shoulder workout. It had been 10 days since my last one so I was definitely overdue.

Shoulders: Wednesday, February 28, 2007

Shoulder Press (Smith machine) (Goal: 3 sets x 35# x 10, NO ASSIST)
WU: 20# on bar x 12
1. 30# x 10
2. x 10
3. x 8.5 Maxed out -- too much weight/reps for WU

Upright Row (Goal: 25# x 12 reps x 3 sets)
1. 25# x 12
2. x 12
3. x 10 Maxed again -- Ulter watched and started giggling... he said "Those traps are huge -- look at those suckers!"

HS ISO-Lateral Shoulder Press (Goal: 30# ea arm x 3 sets of 10)
1. 30# each arm x 12
2. x 10 Maxed
3. 32.5# each arm x 8 Maxed but increased weight!

DB Rear Delt Row (Goal: 45# SDB x 3 sets of 10-12)
WU: 30# SDB x 12 each arm
1. 45# SDB x 12 each side
2. same as 1
3. x 10 each side

Incline DB Compound Press (Goal: 20# dbs x 3 sets of 12 from floor)
In case I never described this -- you lift these from the floor upward, into a straight shoulder press... then slowwwwwwly lower them reverse flye style to the floor again -- works front delts.
1. 20# dbs x 12
2. x 10
3. x 10

So in closing -- longest damn post ever -- I'm a litttttttle better but still dry throat and sniffly. I'm happy I got a lifting session in and I'm even happier that it didn't totally suck. I would have let myself down big time.

Planning to do some morning cardio, but we'll play it by ear. Thursday is crazy-Spanish-guy spinning class... not sure if I can handle it just yet but I could always go do something on my own.

And last -- cute story -- this morning Ulter sends me off to work saying, "WOW, you are sooo thin! You are so tiny, look at you, how small you are." Just hilarious because all I've done is bitch for 4 days about how huge my ass is. I'm when sick -- he's awesome for putting up with my bullshit.

Night.

Goooodnight hun rest well!!!

 

[ck2006]

So as for my own status...

Last cardio session: 1 week ago at Spin class

Last lifting session: Wednesday night, Shoulders... all my other lifts expire (10 days, no other session for that part) tomorrow

Sickness: Well I wish I could say I'm recovered but I'm not. I'm better today -- took the least amount of time today to get the juices flowing and feel normal, which is good, but still have a nonstop runny nose. Ugh.

I'm planning on doing cardio starting tomorrow morning again unless I wake up just feeling godawful still... and I'd like to lift tomorrow night too but that might wait til Tuesday so I can go with Ulter. Unsure yet but I like to go back to my regulard Tues/Thurs/Sat/Sun schedule so I don't feel like I have to make-up everything and push super hard -- that's just stupid and won't help me get better.

I also cut my T3 in half because I've been taking 100 mics a day... and all that burn burn burn wasn't helping my body to focus on healing itself. I was sweating my ass off and not feeling any better -- Silly me. So halving it today and yesterday really has helped me out (at least I can sit still and not sweat so darn much!)

I'll post more later. Much love girls.

Hey u forgot to add Marshmallow land to your location

Hey u forgot to add Marshmallow land to your location

Yes, I live in Marshmallow land and I sit all day in a cookie chair and wear a buttercream frosting hat.

*Breaks off cookie, dips in hat, eat... repeat!*

Then I fall into my sugar coma and dream of tall pieces of chocolate cake floating by me when I'm out to eat with friends.

Man, I'm so bad.

Still really sick. Waking up every 3 hours or so at night, coughing, crying, hacking my lung out basically. I don't feel better at all and it's just making me angrier and angrier. The last place I wanted to be was work today... and now even the THOUGHT of sleeping pisses me off because I know it's not working.

I keep packing my gym bag with the hope that I'll wake up feeling great -- but today I woke up at 7:40 and I leave for work at 8... so you can see that plan is working real well.

I'm starting to feel like a big slacker and I honest-to-goodness know right now my body is screaming at me to stop because I'm so damn sick. Ulter thinks I was improving last week and that going to the Arnold, exposing myself to the fatigue, the flight, all these germs, staying out til 2, 3am and then walking around in 30 degree weather just made me ill all over again.

I'm just angry now. So sick of being sick... I just want to be happy hippo again fighting over the squat rack and stairmill at the gym.

*WHINE*
