Sam wishes she got a small LOL! I was over by 400 for the day so the small would have been better, or I should have avoided that 11PM Protein bar wither way. On the bright side the almost 900 cals meant I didn't eat anything for over 6 hours. tHat's unheard of.

Did a little run tonight. Put vodka in my recovery drink :drinker:

Mary, I don't know what that could be. Probably just a pulled muscle or something?

Sam, good for you lifting on a Weekend.

Runz, lol! Seems like that would dehydrate.

I got my 3 lifting sessions in last week. This week we are headed for a vey impromptu vacation. I am glad to go, but I have a special family photo shoot coming up in two weeks and I was hoping to lose a few pounds by then. Not sure that will happen with us going on vacation.

Cowgirl, I have to lift on Sunday, because Monday is family day and this way I can get to the zumba classes without having to do a two-a-day. Tuesday will be my only rest day between now and Saturday. I have to take advantage of my high energy weeks.

New Goal: I bought a LBD today with shoes for under $10. It almost fits. I will have to have it altered no matter what because I CAN'T loose any more inches around the ribs, but an inch or two off the belly would mean NOT having to take that area in as well. After tailoring it will be a less than $50 dress. Gotta lose some belly.

Awesome, Sam! Being strong means living longer (or so I say :bigsmile: )

My plan is to hit the gym around 8:30. I have a full day in front of me. I HATE going in the afternoon. It's too hot and crowded for me.

After that one day I haven't felt that knot in the back of my knee. weird.

Good morning all,

I tried this program about 6 months ago but never really got my food in the best shape so I want to start this again.
When I was here before someone had created a spreadsheet for the stages with the exercises involved - does anyone still have a copy of this that they could share with me or point me to the link for that?

Thank you in advance.

Claudette, I have it. PM me an email address and I'll share it from google docs.

I didn't sleep well last night . I tossed and turned. The alarm sounded way too early and I turned it off. BUT before you get too upset :bigsmile: I got to the gym around 6pm . My strength wasn't as good as last week. I managed to lift the same but man! was it difficult!

Welcome back Cushy.

Sue, what's 5/3/1?

Sam! I love it! I am not going by scales. I haven't been on the scale in ......2 maybe 3 weeks. I don't even remember. The underwear photos are all the motivation I need. I just wish the inches were coming off the bottom half, but I know it will eventually follow.

My glutes are sore from the squats . It looks like it will be another evening workout. I hate going when it's busy. Everyone stands around talks with their workout buddies. Men are just as bad as the girls. Nothing makes me madder than seeing young girls not serious about exercise using machines while I stand around and wait. All the while my heart rate decreasing.

Runz, don't mess around. If it hurts bad enough get it checked ASAP.

I got my lifting in this morning. I was a little later than usual, so there were a different group of people. Apparently it was national Deadlift day. Every Bar and bench was being used. I had to use the forsaking Smith. I HATE THE SMITH. My form was all off. I did increase weight a smidge. I took it really slow to focus on the movement and get the best out of the exercise. I wanted to make sure I was doing the work, not the pulley system. Everything else was about the same.
