What are you getting? I bought the smaller weight set to give as a gift to my workout partner. We use the 1.25s occassionally but not much else. Kim, I am on Fit Menu right now! Great ideas there! Today I did a light leg day, trying to get back into the swing of things. I did extensions (leg and back) decline press, curls,…

Kim it was totally my treat! It was awesome to be able to put a face to your name! I really enjoyed our little visit! Thanks for taking the time to say hello! The trip was terrific! We really crammed way too much into too little time, and rain hindered some of our sight seeing, but all in all it was a great trip. Top of…

Good morning everyone. I have some horrible news to share. Not all of you knew ManicTitans (Mary). But some of the old timers will remember her. She had a 2nd surgery on her hip on April 30th. Something happened. I don't know the details. Her family took her off the ventilater on Monday and she passed away. Her funeral is…

You aren't going to change their minds. Keep doing what is good and healthy for you and eventually they will stop. Or maybe they won't but you still have to do what's good for you! Keep up the good work!!

I am crawling back with my tail between my legs. Nope, it's not the lifting. That's been great and although I am not doing NROL Strong right now, I've had some PRs and stupendous lifting sessions. But, as I posted on my wall, I am so inconsistent with food. It's not even rational. The "what" I'm eating isn't necessarily…

Exactly this! Don't give up just because the scale doesn't do what you think it should. You will see your body change! You don't need a lot of cardio, either - 20 minutes of HIIT a couple of days each week. And weight - lift those weights! Besides getting fit and feeling better, it does wonders for your self-esteem!

So I had this lovely message all written and ready to send and apparently I forgot to post it. I did Phase 1 WO 2 yesterday morning - I really suck at single leg work. I hate it but I'm very glad it's included here. I want to be strong but I want to improve my balance etc since I see that as I am getting older, it's…

Finally, last night I slept. I turned off the alarm, didn't think about what time I woke up, and slept quite well from 9:30 to 5:30. I did wake up, but I went back to sleep pretty easily. I didn't go to the gym this morning, but I will tomorrow morning and do intervals on Saturday morning. :)

I HATE when my sleep is screwed up! I woke up this morning around 2:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. I was going to skip the gym and sleep in but I was still AWAKE so I got up and went. I did my first Strong workout. I HATE step-ups! Boy can I tell I've been avoiding those babies!! Goblet squats need work - hard to keep…

You will be strong enough to begin lifting soon Mary! Glad you're improving. Do what they say!!! 7year - I did/do my deficit deadlifts from a step, but the rest is like a standard DL. The difference is that I have to reach deeper than with standard DLs. My weight is slightly lower - well now, it would be a good deal lower,…

I just got over one! I know your pain, Beeps! The meds should work if they are strong enough. Cipro didn't, had to use a stronger one for the kidney infection. Hope yours give you relief and cure quickly!! So, I finally got myself back to the gym on Thursday. I did some intervals and a decent upper body/chest/back workout.…

Hey everyone! I have my gyn tomorrow. Thankfully I don't have to fast for this one! This morning I did legs, the squat racks were all being used to I did decline press, curls and extensions, back extensions, oblique flexions, and abs. I'm doing walk/run/walk intervals too. It felt good, my legs are complaining tonight, and…

Beeps I hope you feel better fast! :/

Thank you everyone! Your support and encouragement males a huge difference in how I feel about this. I have been beating myself up even though I know if someone else said the same thing I would be totally supportive. Why do I do that to myself? Yesterday was a day of attitude adjustment. I cleaned,the house and the fridge,…

Hi all, I'm baaaack... My trial was postponed. The Cir court approved the oppositions last minute desperation move to stop the trial until an appeal is decided - that means trial is now on hold for most likely 18 months and we just threw away close to $100K for hotel rooms, office space and temporary networking that will…

Wow, I went away on retreat this weekend and y'all blew the place up! Finally, the kidney infection is gone! Needed 2 rounds of antibiotics tho. I hate them! I haven't lifted since it came on, and on Saturday any routine goes out the window as I move to Philly for trial. Keep my seat warm, I promise I'll be back! Keep…

Bleh.... I have a kidney infection - that is all

She probably can't do your program! Can you get your money back?

Sam, having done both, I actually prefer the splits. That's one of the reasons I haven't started STRONG yet, although I do intend to do it.

Hey those moves are great! I know my HR would be way up there after any of them! Thanks Sam! Mary, good luck this Friday! I like having the shake for the same reason. The other thing I will often do is mix my protein powder with plain Greek yogurt. More protein and more substance, so it sticks with me more, and it's better…

:s I can't believe I haven't been here since the 2nd. Time is flying by. Overall I am doing pretty well, but I have to say that I don't do well in social situations at all. Last night, the last holiday party of the season - I walked through the door with all sorts of resolve, plans on how to handle the food etc. and…

I If you revert to the same eating habits that packed on the pounds to begin with of course you will put the weight back on. Eating low carb is actually gaining more and more support in the medical community. There hundreds of thousands of people who maintain a healthy low carb WOE, there is nothing wrong with the Atkins…

I have versagripps.com They are great! Other than that I use UA unpadded gloves.

Hey! Happy New Years everyone! I am finally feeling well today. I have had a stomach bug/fever for about a week now, but I think it's gone. Even yesterday my tummy wasn't feeling great. I lifted 1x this week - Monday, and felt so awful the rest of the week, I didn't do much of anything. Unfortunately I had to go to work -…

MY HERO!! Way to go, Jo! Are you doing standard DLs? And HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So I completely blew the last week. My food was completely out of control. I did get to the gym at the beginning of last week, but was away from Thursday through yesterday and of course, I didn't really do much of anything except a lot of eating, some…

Hi everyone, sorry I've been absent but I have literally been absent - I spent a good portion of the week out of town for a Jury Focus. Wish I could tell you I worked out or ate well. I did neither. We got the word on Friday, trial is going forward as originally scheduled, unless the defendants decide they want out and…

Lifted yesterday and today! Legs yesterday - I could barely walk down the stairs when I was finished - SLDL, decline leg press, hack squats, extensions, and seated calf raises. None were my heaviest, but all were done with a concentration on form. My squats have not been as deep as I would like, hence the hack squats - I…

Beeps, you should never feel lame! I know your work ethic makes you feel that way but really, the word has radically changed and jobs, career paths, the whole employment landscape is not what it used to be. You should instead simply acknowledge that being without a job is stressful to you and you react sometimes! I totally…
