Sue - what do you mean by "deload"?? I'm curious!
chubby - not too heavy today, but heavy enough to make me huff + puff!
manic - I came under calories yesterday....but ate out at a restaurant, so have NO idea what that "salt" intake will do to the scale.
In any event, my systems are working - I'm plugging along - the scale should trend downward and I can get rid of all this "roundy-round" thinking! FINALLY!0 -
I finished the Stage 1 workout B this morning.... NOT my favorite lol apparently I am too uncoordinated for lunges lol I am thinking I will sleep good tonight

Potluck at work, feeling yucky, too many carbs and desserts. Blah...tomorrow is another day. Bright side, only two workouts left in stage 1 0

I'm here MAry!! I missed yesterday. Never logged at all. Just one of those crazy busy days. I did make it to the gym yesterday for my last workout in Stage 2 Woo hoo!
Wide DL 2x10@105
under lat pull 2x10@90
bulgarian split squat 2x10@10 I don't use a lot of weigh on this one. The focus in on form.
cuban snatch 2x10@20 (10dbs) like step I increase resistance by lowering the bench
reverse lunge from box 2x10@30 (15dbs)
Doesn't look like I'm going to zumba tonight. I nearly fell asleep at work today. I usually don't have a problem before 4:00, but today it hit me at two and because of a scheduling change for the day, I had students who needed my attention. I just had to suck it up and make it through.
Great job to everybody getting those workouts in this week ladies.0 -
No workout today . Had to run errands in the larger city nearby.
You go , JO! I can't workout that early. Someone to watch the little one.......
Sam, you need some REST. Take a break from lifting. Have you had one lately?
Clam, ooooooh just wait. There will be plenty of exercises to test your balance.
But I found it great challenging myself and noticing I was doing better each time. 0 -
Wohoo! That's great lifting!!I'm here MAry!! I missed yesterday. Never logged at all. Just one of those crazy busy days. I did make it to the gym yesterday for my last workout in Stage 2 Woo hoo!

Yester was week two of stage 1. My wrist has not completely healed, but I did realize that when I do fly push-ups, no pain at all!! Wohoo!! Glad to be back to those. I need to do lots so that I may go lower and lower with time. I still am not able to go deep on military push ups.
Today is Hip Hop Abs, then Zumba!0 -

quite possible :laugh:
Just do your stuff . I could NEVER do the single leg dumbbell something other. LOL I looked ridiculous at the gym but I didn't care. At least I was MOVING.
maz, you are doing GREAT. I haven't done NROL4W in forever. I stay here and talk with friends.
Bepee, awesome! Glad your wrist is back to normal!
I worked out today and had decrease weights. Not sure what was up with that.
Stepped on the scales today. I am 150.0 SOOOOOO close to being out of the 150's. It has been 5 years or so since I've been in the 140's. I've noticed my skirts are fitting better. The saddlebags are going to take forever to lose.0 -

Well done! Great stuff!0 -
You're about to click into the 140's, manic, so GET READY!!
Great news!!
Hi mazmataz!
Tomorrow, for SURE, I lift!0 -
YES ! I can hardly contain myself. LOL I got on the scales a few minutes it ago. It said 151. Hoping tomorrow it says 149!!!!0
-
That's awesome, Manic!
Mamataz, those are great stats! Welcome!
Have a great workout tomorrow, Beeps.
I'm hoping to see a scale loss tomorrow (my goal was to get back to the 140s by Thanksgiving). Who knows.... I'm stressed out- I take a recertification exam for my RN specialty tomorrow. Saturday evening I'm involved in another stressful event. My body doesn't react well to stress. Maybe I'll get a whoosh next week.
Gonna do my best to lift Saturday morning!0 -
cowgirl! WHAT! You are in the 150's? :noway: Isn't it funny how our bodies are so different? I have way too much fat on my body for my body type. I am guessing I need to lose a good 20 pounds to be close to a size 6/8. currently 12.
AND You are an RN? You may have told me that too. LOL I am one too. I don't work. Haven't in 12 years. Summer 2001 was the last time I worked.0 -

I hear ya. Exam revision hell going on here. Blah. Body = bloated and craving tea and biscuits. And wine. :grumble:
I'm going to combat tonight - will punch and kick out my frustration. And earn my wine hahaha :drinker:
Good luck for your exam! Hope all goes well - I'm sure you'll be fab :happy:0 -
Hello maz!
I am enjoying my brothers wedding
I got to swim a little with my kids outside in the sunshine which was amazing and I am also catching up with relatives.
I am officially addicted to massaging my gluteal area. Yup I grab my own butt on a regular basis. It feels better afterwards!
Today I will use the hotel weight room- it is the best I've seen in a hotel but no squat rack!0 -
I hope it all went well!
