Merry Christmas eve everyone or just merry Christmas Jo & Dna
I'm done with Stage 6 and I'm happy with my improvement. I added some squats and DLs at the end of the workout just because I felt like it and I got my Dl up to 155lbs. I'm quite happy with that but I'm still feeling the DOMS from that workout on Monday. I may do some cardio stuff later if they don't let me go home early, but I'm not lifting tonight. I'm so eager for Christmas to get here and have a lovely time with my family.
I realized last night I'm we're almost out of night time diapers & dog food so I will have to brave walmart on my lunch, I am not looking forward to that. I hope you all have a great Christmas and enjoy your families.
Has anyone heard from Jamaican? Did she have the wedding already? I hope it went really good for her and all the worrying was for nothing.0 -
Hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday (or just an wonderful day in general if you don't celebrate Christmas).
My daughter had an excellent day and said Santa brought her everything she wanted. I call that a win. My brother in law bought his wife and I an overnight trip to Vegas and is taking the kids with. Best gift ever! I can't wait.
I got a new ipod and bluetooth headphones which will be awesome when I get back to my routine. 0 -
Merry Christmas0

We're home! Hope everyone had a lovely day (Christmas Day is almost officially over everywhere isn't it? lol I should get a world clock on my desktop)
One last 'Christmas' to attend - IL's turn tomorrow... that should be... fun
Had a nice time down at my parent's place. Ate yummy food and drank more than I usually drink in a month (oops), but it's all good
Will be back on track on Monday!0 -
Merry Christmas all! I see I am about to lose my 160-something day streak on MFP but it's going to have to restart because I can't possibly log everything from today. Too much, and too many unknowns. And that's just fine by me. I think I will actually just take a break from logging food until the new year; it feels like time for a little break to just eat according to my
body. Even just today, one day of eating whatever I'd like and way less produce and protein than I'm used to, and boy do I feel it. I'm going to try to hop on the elliptical quickly tomorrow morning before I head out Boxing Day shopping, just cause I know I will feel better for doing so.
My boys were super happy although exhausted today. "Wow, I can't believe I got exactly what I wanted!" said the six year-old. Isn't it amazing how that works? 0 -
Hey all, I too ate too much - mostly Christmas cake, lol. Workout today was a mixed bag - got my reps on squats but not feeling good. Not sure what the issue is. OHP was 4,5,5,4,5 at 22.5kg.... I really need to buy the fractional plates. I am hoping somewhere is open here tomorrow which sells them!! DLs still feeling crappy after the squats, though got my 70kg. Will go up in 2.5kgs rather than 5kgs now.
Not feeling 100% in this new program and think my January holiday might help break the bad mental state. Few weeks to go yet though!0 -
I also ate way too much jo, but for me it was mostly turkey, ham, and potatoes. I still feel full this morning!
I hope everyone had a lovely christmas. I had a great day. got spoiled rotten and got to spend hours playing with very excited nieces and nephews so that was lots of fun, but also exhausting.
I think I am going to stop logging food until the new year. I know I will over eat because we still have lots of family to go and visit and then new years celebrations to attend but I have been so lax with my logging lately that I think a break might help me to be stricter when I get back to it.
No workouts for me for the next few days, I am too busy working and visiting so don't have time.0 -
Hey ladies! I know I've been MIA on here. I can't keep up with yall (in various ways ie. eating, working out, reading, chatting. LOL)
I'll try to be more active once the NY is here. We will be out of the town for the next 7 days.
Keep up the awesome work.0 -
Merry belated Christmas all! God to see you're all doing great! Hope those who are sick are feeling better!
Saw a dr for my knee. It's not torn, but a sprain. I miss the gym, but I'm trying to be good and rest it. Gonna go Monday to at least lift upper body. I wonder if I can do DLs carefully? Maybe rack pulled...gonna try. Squats will probably be too much bending I fear. But, man, it really makes me appreciate how good it felt to lift often.
Enjoyed all the goodies I could get...the scale is reflecting it. But, no regrets. It was a fun few days. 0 -
My cold sticks around, but no matter! I cardio-d today....will cardio tomorrow.
Am joining a weight loss challenge here at mfp that runs for twelve weeks starting 01/05. I aim to be 6 lbs lighter when it's done! BOOM!
(I will return to weightlifting on monday....)0 -
Sounds like a good plan beeps!
I got back to lifting today. I took a whole week off and only did upper body today. My knee is feeling much better. I'll keep resting it this weekend, and then I'm gonna try some more compound moves on Monday, deadlifts and have a few squats? Hoping my knee feels better each day.
Have a great weekend all! My scale is up, but it's just water from too many carbs the last few days. It'll go down, and hopefully take some friends with them too!0 -
Hey, I posted a new thread for a 12 week challenge to kick off the New Year. Of you want to come join us, please do! The more the merrier! Always good to have accountability!!0
-
I did more cardio today! ZOOM!0

Hey all new year new goals. Actually the bench press goal is old- I just didn't make it in 2014.
Next month is skiing and lifting.
The next powerlifting comp for me is in April.
Today I did lots of hip thrusts. My right shoulder is still sore so I have not benched in two weeks.
It actually felt great swimming on Friday.0 -
Nice!0

Goals are good....here is what is "on my mind" for 2015:
1. An unassisted pull-up
2. WHT in the 185-200 lb range
3. scale that forevermore reads 145-148
BOOM!0 -
Sounds good beeps.

WHT = "weighted hip thrusts"
Bret ("the glute guy") C stuff.

So today is my birthday. Best bit? My early morning gym session. The rest has been total *kitten*. Should've just stayed at the gym
0 -
Jo-
happy birthday though!! Your gift to yourself is a strong healthy body! Good for you!!! Hope it gets better!! ((Hugs))
Beeps-dang! That's a lot of weight!! I need to order that pad thing...the bar digs into my hips. I could up the weight, but it gets awkward. How do you get into position with that heavy a weight? Go girl!
Pmag-we can share-I'm doing mostly upper body to baby my knee! Good goals!
I'm way up on the scale. Too many carbs and then Chinese food last night! Gah! Back to clean eating today. And the gym. I will even do cardio!
Just booked a quick visit to Disneyland this weekend with my girls. So, I know my eating won't be stellar and hope my knee holds up! A lot of walking!! But so much fun! And we'll get to see our good friends too! 0 -
TOM, pain, two cups of tea and painkillers and I'm gonna sit here on the couch for a while. That's what I'd like to do for the rest of the day. Stupid body. Husband has other plans.
I don't even have DOMS from yesterday!
Jo, Happy Birthday for yesterday chickadee

Wht are awesome- that's a good goal
- Hope everyone feels better0 -
Happy birthday, jo!
Julie, i won't step on the scale at all this week....
dnamouse....hope you are over TOM-f*ckedness soon.
Pmagnan, i cannot punch your numbers, but it is time to set some PR's of my own.0 -
I did some squats and deads yesterday!
yay! Knee a bit sore, but not bad. I rode the bike HIIT for about 20 min afterwards too...felt like that would help with the holiday boat. Feeling good today, knee a bit wonky from time to time, but it'll do .
NYE party at my friends tomorrow. Dressing up would be more fun without this overeating bloaty feeling. Been on plan for 2 days, and making progress toward a flatter belly, but it's a good reminder why eating well is worth it. I just feel icky.
Not that it'll keep me from my beloved churro in Disneyland on Sunday.
DNA-(((hugs)))
Sitting here with castor and coconut oil on my hair. I look ridiculous, but should end up with healthier hair eventually. 0 -
Yesterday was chest and tri's.
Today was deadlifts and posterior chain.
Tomorrow, I expect it will be back and bi's.
BOOM!0 -
Nice job Julie
I benched light weight today and lots of arms/back-- push-ups pullups, incline bench with db
My shoulder was wobbly/ weak but not painful. I just didn't feel like I worked out. It was 29 degrees so I did not bike to work....
I will have to do some cardio tomorrow0 -
Phoenix - If I may, what kind of Bluetooth headphones did you get? Am shopping for some, and have been researching....
Jo - Hope you had a wonderful birthday.
I too, did eat quite a bit this past fortnight, but I do log it...Zumba showed me that I did over eat...I struggled to keep up, and my HR did not go to its regular high....but I still got my 'fix' from Zumba...aaahhh....
Tomorrow is SL day.0 -
Stupid bronchitis. I haven't worked out since my last lifting session on Saturday and its killing me. Three days off is too much for me. I was supposed to finish BT4 this week but am a few days behind now. Going to drag myself to the gym tomorrow even if I can only work at 50% just because I know it will make me feel the slightest bit better. Gah. I hate being sick and moreso when it messes up my workout plans!
Looks like NYE will be hubby and me binge watching Friday Night Lights, having some appies, and hopefully I will feel well enough for a bit of wine. Happy new year all, and lots of lifting to come!0 -
Happy New Year everyone!
Pudding, there has been a very nasty bug going around here. Our whole family has it and it seems to linger. I hope you feel better quick! It's no fun being sick on a festive day like today.
Beeps, are you still doing Venus?
Pmag, I'm sure that you're "light" weights are still much heavier than most girls at the gym.
Happy belated birthday, Jo!
Julie, why does it always take longer to "deflate" than it does to bloat in the first place?
I think we've had the flu- the kiddos had fever for 5 days. Hubs and I had the flu mist, but we didn't feel well for several days. The good new is that I wasn't tempted to overeat on Christmas- I had no appetite for about 4 days. Now it's starting to return, but all I want is simple carbs. Bleh.
I went to the gym Saturday, but I'm not sure it was a good idea. I felt very weak and then DOMS hit and could barely walk until this morning.
Hopefully I can get back on track soon.0 -
And here we have 2015.
We went to a friend's place for coffee and cake, the kids had sparklers and then we came home. Could have seen in the NSW New Year (hour ahead due to daylight savings), but we went to bed lol
Slept in, got up before the children (!) and everyone else is having bacon and eggs. I think I'll just have another cup of tea, totally not hungry after dessert last night lol
DOMS found me today after squats yesterday and another day of clearing out the house. We're onto the garage today - not looking forward to it, but once it's cleared I get my very own gym section, with carpet and floor mats and everything
TOM pain has settled. It's usually not too bad, but every now and then it hits really hard.0
