I must have strained it on Tuesday doing donkey kicks...it totally freaked me out...
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I totally read that as Donkey Tricks, and was gonna asked how those were done, bwahahaha!!!!!! :glasses:
After I got home, ate a little, shopped a little (I grabbed portabello caps and am going to make a nummy lunch out of them tomorrow), took a cat nap, I woke up not hating everyone in the world, and I'm feeling ridiculously good today.
oh yeah, well I hate you for getting a nap....jk..lol0 -
No sleep and minimal working at work is the only way to keep up here.
Hi erhower and ho!
I
tats. I only have a small one on my shoulder but I have plans for another if I can get the rolls under control.
My gym is 24 hours during the week and 7-7 on the weekends. They advertise that they're 24 hours, though. Liars.
As always: great numbers, sexy backs, and hot legs!0 -
FWIW, it was only about 20 minutes...I had DVR'd "Stranded" and "Haunted Collector" and Collector bored me to sleep, LOL...0

Hi everyone!! I am new here also, starting Stronglifts tomorrow
:flowerforyou: :bigsmile:placement is the hardest part! I know I want my other foot done, the insides of my wrists, something on my back, maybe something on my ribs....maybe even a tramp stamp once I get my bikini body! So many tats, not enough classy spots :laugh:
You sound like me... I have two, wrist and foot, but soooo many planned out it is crazy!! Good thing they cost $$$, or else I would probably be covered
Hi, erhower! I don't know how I missed this...Welcome!:flowerforyou: 0 -
Helloooooooooo erhower and ho!!! I usually miss greeting the new people because I'm typing on my iPad and it blows.
I had a total gym-math fail yesterday. I ended up doing what I thought was my work set of 150...but it was 135, so I did deads like this:
5 reps 65 lbs
4 reps 95 lbs
5 reps 135
5 reps 150
THEN I played a volleyball game last night. My *kitten* is killing me. :laugh:
I love tats as well, one of the reasons why I'm trying to get all buff is so that I can get a big-*kitten* back piece this summer for my 40th birthday.0 -
Thanks for all the hellos, everyone!! This is the first board here that I have even liked to post on. : ) Back to work...the youth of America are waiting...0

Not sure if this will work...0 -
Okay I'm going to try.

Frig its huge!0

And still trying to wrap my head around a 24hour fitness not open 24 hours. Perhaps they should call it "mostly 24 hour fitness".
This makes me chuckle.0 -
Okay I'm going to try.
Nice! (Back and ink) 0 -
Thanks! I've been at this for about 2 months. I'm still at about 33% body fat so I have a long way to go. I wish I could make it smaller. I'm not sure why it's so big.0

Okay I'm going to try.
You look great and such a small waist! Very Nice.0 -
So I had a fantastic workout this morning....wrapped up week 1 of cycle 2 and it felt great. The nice thing about this deload that i did between cycles is that it really has given me a chance to go back and REALLY concentrate on form again, shorter rest periods and a whole bunch of badda$$ery!
W1C2 (this is my shortcut for Week 1, Cycle 2 :laugh: )
Squat 5x5 @ 125#
Bench 5x5 @ 62#
Row 5x5 @ 75# (God I these now!)
Dead 1x5 @ 125#
OHP 5x5 @ 50#
Bad news Friday though.....decided to hop on my new fancy scale....thinking that now that I have one that goes by decimal rather than just whole numbers, well, I might see some changes. Oh yeah, I did alright. 2.5# up since Saturday. WTF. I know this is not fat.....I have been at 1800 cal or less all week. I probably had to poop or something but EFF this is frustrating!
I think I have to work on accepting the fact that maybe I will never "weigh" less. I thought that at some point these last 20 would come off :sad:
@hsnider....beautiful back lady!0 -
Thanks! The scale is so frustrating!!! Are you doing two weeks of deload?0
-
I am dealing with the same crap with the scale. I can't seem to shake the last 15lbs, and as much as I know that number doesn't matter, it bugs the hell out of me!!
I am in my smaller jeans today though...not back to where I was this time last year, but better than a month ago! It's a whole change in perspective that I am trying reallllly hard to make!0 -
I just did one week of deload and then on Monday I started cycle 2 of SL but using my deloaded weights as a starting point....so essentially I will be working my way back up. The only lifts that really impacted though were the squat and dead because my upper body lifts weren't heavy enough to warrant a full deload...plus it's the area that I need the most work, so I only took off a measly 5lbs!
I'm not letting myself get too bummed about the scale...I know it's not fat. I will wait until 4 weeks to take measurements and pics again so hopefully I see changes elsewhere 0 -
Eugh clinic is so empy today... I'm just wasting time so I thought I'd post my #'s from workout yesterday. Got to use the 25 # plates for the first time! :happy:
Squat: 95
Bench: 60
Pendlay Row: 55
Soooo very excited to break 100 on my squats next time! triple digits baby!0 -

I've absolutely been there, for the record. I spent about 6 months there, got kind of "well *kitten* it then" ate what I wanted for a few months, but .... Just giving myself a measured break and then recommitting in January, and being a lot more regimented, has actually helped me. I think. I feel like I can lose 5 lbs now. Not 10 or 15, but 5, and since I spent a lot of last year resigned to nothing, 5 sounds pretty good.
And by regimented I just mean, I'm logging strictly, i'm forcing myself to take weeks at maintenance on a regular basis, and I have my cals set pretty high (but in exchange I know I have ot be strict, and that really helps me for whatever reason)0 -
barely over a week and rolled already?? I dont know that I ca keep up.....
missing over a week of workout really sucked as I have a really bad case of DOMS of the quads... my birthday was a few days ago and I didnt get to celebrate.... my better half is taking me to jazz concert with my brother in law and his wife.... Can you say DATE NIGHT!! I plan on doing a little drinking and definitely dessert ( havent had sweets in over 8 months) ....
so today is cardio day ( 5K run plus 5K biking).... tomorrow is swimming lessons but I think Im also going to to SL "B" day with a massive deload...just to keep the fat burning mode on high for the day.....
Sunday I will drink plenty of water and eat clean ( I do salads in mason jar....my fave being baby spinach, quinoa, salmon, white beans, carrots, vinegarette) for a few days......
ETA: I went to ****'s sporting goods earlier and senility set it...could not remember WTH I went for....it was the foam roller..... hopefully I remember later when I go back that way0 -

Well this is the frustrating thing though....I do log consistently. Every bloody day. Everything I eat. After my break in mid-January I went to 2000 cal/day and now I'm down to 1800 as per ETP recommendation at the beginning of January (the 2000 was not their recommendation, but what I wanted to do). The crap thing is that I don't know if it's the program or the Mirena. Oh well I will just carry on and see what happens in measurements in 3 weeks. Like I said...I know it's not fat....there is no way I ate 10,000 calories OVER maintenance in 6 days!0 -
