Just checking in-- I am at a 1.5/3- met 3/3 workouts. I didn't ride to work once although we had gorgeous weather70s and dry-- but I did two rides on the weekend so I'm claiming half a point. I can't seem to make my protein.
Nice job everyone
Cowgirl do you wave the ropes for hiit
I picked out new exercises for BT II- I will be happy to have less reps.
I went out for drinks with a friend after work and had some yummy bites. I hate guessing what I ate when I am entering it in MFP. They had a dip made from walnuts which was incredible!!0 -
Hi ladies, good to hear lots of lifting going on.
Tell me about the 1/3 2/3 3/3 ratings please

Manic...ew and bwahahaha! :laugh:
Barbell, am jealous about the ropes...I wish I had some to work with!
Tasha, we are to give ourselves points on a 3-point scale, concerning our workout challenge goals
Mine? I am doing well with avoiding the "visible carbs," and increasing Protein intake...I am as yet to meet my 150g Protein-a-day goal...I will not fret much over that though. My assisted chin-ups are coming on well, I think. I am doing the reverse-narrow-grip type. I am not strong enough to do the wide pull-ups yet...hoping to get there sometime this year. With that, I think 1/3 will do for me

At just after 9pm last night, my 25-year-old brother died of a heart attack. I was looking for the left jab and missed the right hook. I've been praying so hard for Gram. I selfishly asked God not to take her on my birthday, but he took my brother instead. He was a troubled soul. I can only hope now he is at peace and Mother can find solace eventually that he left us of natural causes. IF God only gives us what we can handle, then he must think my mother is the biggest bad-*kitten* ever created because I don't know how one person could withstand the tragedies that woman has experienced in her short 60 years. Sorry for throwing it out there. We haven't told anyone outside of the family yet, and it is weighing on me. You ladies are amazing and with the anonymity and support I find here I am forever grateful.0

Ok TMI follows:
I got all ready for the gym. I said "honey, do I smell funny?" He sniffs around me, "nope, shirt smells good." I leave to make 2 stops before the gym. I call him and say, "either these dry cleaning clothes stink or it is me. If it is me I am coming back home." I drop off the clothes and the smell is worse. I am sure the lady at the dry cleaners thinks our clothes have been stuck in the dog pen for a while. I get back in the car and the smell is still there. I know now it has to be me and going to the gym is out of the question. You know how someone stinks already and the sweat just intensifies the odor? Well, I didn't want that to happen to me. I quickly jump in the shower and scrub. Get dressed and still faintly smell the odor. OK IT IS NOT ME by this time. I take a deep sniff of my shorts. YEP it is them. Moral of the story: Don't dig through dirty laundry to find your gym shorts that you forgot to wash over the weekend! :ohwell: :noway: :laugh:

What awful news!!
My heartfelt condolences.0 -
Sue, I didn't know that about creatine. Good info
Runz, it was regarding a mutual friend of ours who had just made a...sexual comment to him. It was upsetting because he is a friend to both of us and I felt that his comment was inappropriate and disrespectful to me. Just threw me off because I never expected him to approach my husband like that. We discussed and handled it. It was just a lot...
Dna, I'm glad you're getting some food in you! Migraines are no joke
Barbell, I'd also like to know what these battle ropes are
Have a beautiful Tuesday ladies. I have big household plans of tidying, laundry, baking bread, etc. I hope to get a workout in, but Tuesdays and Thursdays are bad for me since the DH is in class through 8 p.m. and I use that time to catch up around the house and have dinner made for him once he gets home.0 -
OMG Sam, I'm in shock! I'm so very sad. Call me or text me if I can do anything - run errands, pick friends up at the airport, whatever, I will do what you and your family need done.0

SAM!!! (((hugs))) I am so sorry.0

Sue, I didn't know that about creatine. Good info
There are several studies within this site but specifically, this one points to creatine supplementation being beneficial to muscle retention in older women.

3/3 for the challenge last week and things are about to go up another level because my barbell is finally in! I can't stop squatting with the EZ curl bar!0 -
I've been wearing dresses and skirts the last couple of days. Been feeling really good. Today, I put on pants and they were tight :noway: I measured and my hips are swollen by a half inch :sick: :sick: :sick: At least, I hope it's just swelling. I started Stage 2 on Sunday and have had some DOMS.
I was going to run on Monday but got rained in. I was going to run today but DS is grounded and DH isn't home :grumble: :grumble:0 -
My quads are killing me. They shouldn't be. the lower body work i did, today, was weighted hip thrusts and T-bends. Gawd-d*mmit if I am STILL getting TOO MUCH QUAD and NOT ENOUGH GLUTE!!0
