  • A Prefab shed large enough to move everything from 2 rooms (storage, tools, bike, etc) into so I can have my weight room back (and the storage room becomes the PC room again).
  • sat (12/14/13) 10min arc trainer bench press (60lb) 3 x 10 incline bench press (50lb) 3 x 8 skullcrusher (30lb) 3 x 10 incline DD flyes (15lb) 3 x 10 Cable Crossover (20lb) 3 x 8 tricep pushdown (25lb) 3 x 10 overhead tricep (20lb) 3 x 10 calf extension (110lb) 3 x 15 20min ellipical (cardio level 2)
  • holy hopping bat shyt....
  • typically 3 sets (each), reps of 8-12. If i can get to 15, it's time to move up 5 lbs unless I'm doing squats or deadlifts, then I start of 15 lbs under and work up to the weight I did last - reps of 5-8. My reason (in case anyone wonders or fuss @ me) both of those exercises are PAINFUL to me. Squats on my R knee & L…
  • 1) what type of curl? typically DD are 20-30 lbs, BB 30-40lbs 2) dd fly, 20lb. Fly machine, 40-45lb 3) since Feb
  • every brand has there own sizing, plus if you are in a different country, add that to the mix as well. Plus, if something is made to be stretchy, the non version is gonna be smaller. Fabric, cut, everything changes and I swear they do it to mess with people. thrift stores are my best friend, although 3/4'ers of my clothes…
  • Cardio is endurance, strength training is exactly that - strength training. Even in my beginning, I hated cardio but did it..... BUT I always did something with the "floor" machines for strength. I finally got off the machines into Free weights, with cardio after and.... love it. I've also kept the 70lb I've lost off for a…
  • You do realize half if not more of the "model" pictures you see have been photoshopped, right? They may claim their workouts are what contributes to their shape, but you have to stop and think about how much tweaking each photo gets before we ever see it. Plus, sorry - a size 00 is not something I ever want to be. A nice…
  • 2 months may not be enough time to "break in" Vibrams to running, specially if you were running in normal shoes before. I wear mine 24/7 - i just started wearing them instead of normal shoes since day one (over 2 years ago) - just walking. It took me nearly 4 months to stop having pain & finally even try running in them.…
  • if he would divorce you for losing weight & possibly a few cups sizes, then you'd be better off without him (do realize you may be joking :bigsmile: ) And I double the "wear a smaller size under the normal one" - I'll warn you, you may not lose cups sizes. Although mine aren't what you consider large (DD's) I've lost 70+…
  • PTSD - yeap, somehow got 2, yes, TWO of them Chronic lifelong depression - CHECK Anxiety & Panic attacks - CHECK Bi-polar - NO but my sister is (and schizo runs in BOTH sides of the family) Tried counselling, meds, etc.... nothing really helped much. I know what is wrong, I know what should fix things.... but does it?…
  • NOTHING... after I bought him a new cellphone and a suit. well, not truly "nothing" as the day before x-mas, i was looking at a $15 sweater @ wallie world.... i went to buy it and he grabbed it out of my hands, paid for it, then said, "Merry xmas" (he really said x-mas, not Christmas). but that was all I technically got...…
  • The fact that I can now carry things (like the 50lb bag of litter) with no effort. The fact that my hubs asks me to open things he can't now or to hold this (insert heavy *kitten* thing) while he does this.... I can carry ALL the groceries in at once with no effort. The fact that I can do positions with said hubs that…
  • 1) I open the front door to her fuzzy face - MEOW 2) If she's not @ the open door, she's sauntering out from the bedroom, again with the overly loud (and demanding) _ MEOW 3) Sits in front of either - the kitchen sink or her food bowl and continues to "talk" to me, getting louder as I take longer to get inside and find her…
  • i plan on hitting the gym crack of dawn - they close by noon. but i want the exercise out of the way so I can eat & play video games :)
  • Involves massive amount of rum & vodka (I got me a DRINKING horn to break in!), lots of fun adult activities and hours & hours of video games. In case your wondering - the only "child" in the house goes MEOW >/\_/\< We (myself & hubs) are already fighting over the big TV and who has to move what console to the other…
  • I can do push-ups, was up to 15 pull-ups (unassisted), but I can rock the rest of my bicep/tri and shoulder workout. Legs, yeah strongest but my right knee has taken a hit and now I'm limiting all major leg work (deadlift, squats and leg presses - so anger :{ ) Leg press was up to 330, deadlifts were back to 85 (was at…
  • Step one - open tub Step B - stir Step Red - eat with spoon, spork, fork (+4 for that), chopsticks (+10) or fingers (-20 gross) But honestly, it's peachy just plain. Or mix some fruit in it, chia/flax seeds, sprinkle some protein powder ontop...
  • If you go Skeletoes, then up to Vibrams you'll never go back. IE: I have been wearing Vibrams 24/7 for over 3 years now - own 8 pairs. Bought 1 pair of Skeletoes and after trying to wear them on & off for a month, gave them away. Yuck... I <3 my Vibrams but I have Morton's in both feet and these are the only shoes I can…
  • Elder Scrolls Online - yes, but won't have time &/or funds - plus I can't afford a next gen console - already have PC/360/ps3/wii U & a 3DS Next Dragon Age - same, I would LOOOVVVEEEEEEE but again, I can't pop for either new console and if it's online, I'm also out - I might get 2 hours every few days to play anymore…
  • 1. Feed the screaming fur face (kitteh) 2. Look around disgustedly at the mess of the house - pick up trash, put dishes in sink, pick up dirty clothes (wondering who the hell breaks INTO houses and makes such messes while people are at work) 3. sit down and either score a little 3DS or Skyrim time (while playing lap warmer…
  • Still chuging thru Skyrim and played ALL of the Dragon Ages (swooping is bad), got thru most of the FF series (stopped after 11 - too many other games). Plus oddball games like the entire Silent Hill set and weird offshoots [Siren, Kuno(sp)]. I'm kinda dreading the Elder Scrolls Online - I tried a few other MMO's,…
  • I made a cardboard (3D - ie, spokes) and stapled it to the wall, mine didn't play with it that year. I hung mine from the ceiling (upside down) that worked too, but was a pain getting up & down. Finally gave up - she eats the "fake" needles - walks 2 feet vomits them up, then goes back to try again. Or she loves the light…
  • Also back the "New Rules for Weight Lifting for Women" although I don't do that specific routine, it DID teach me a few things and is a GREAT place to start for a newbie. And as the others also pointed out - lifting may stall loss. I lost 70lb before I started lifting and HAVEN"T lost a pound since, but I've lost inches…
  • Currently at home, cooking away - Apple Bourbon Pork BBQ. 2.5-3 lb Pork tenderloin 1 package Campbell's Slower cooker Apple Bourbon sauce 1.5 oz (2 tlbsp) of either water or whiskey (personal choice) 2 med red onions 1) cut / quarter onions - sprinkle in bottom of crock pot (set heat for LOW) 2) add pork 3) add sauce. use…
  • check out "nerd fitness" - they have many good ideas of home workout with little to no equipment. Keep an eye out at thrift stores, yard sales & the lot - sometimes you can find stuff real cheap.
  • Netflix, Hulu, Youtube and an antenna outside in the yard. I have a few movies on Amazon & Vudu (or whatever the walmart thing). It's crazy, I paid for ION (1 channel) and w/ an antenna I get (5) ION's for free. I do miss some things like Cartoon Network, it takes some effort to find the newest shows online. I have a smart…
  • The few times I've tried HIIT, I've gotten hurt. I found 1 workout online that I could do, but it disappeared off youtube. My biggest issue w/ HIIT is the up & down stuff, I've tried & tried. I can't do that, hell even Jillian's stuff had me in tears and limping on my bad hip for days after. And up & down = standing, to…
  • Lifting 3-4 days a week - starts w/ 12-15min cardo to warm up, then lifting (see below) then 25-30 min cardo (elliptical or c25k). If I don't get 4 workouts that week, I pick up where ever I stopped (IE: day 1, 2 & 3 in 1 week, next week start off with missed day 4 then to day 1). Plus at work, (2-3) 15min walks during the…
  • Spanx & whole body "fat-squeezers" Lots of laxitives & dieuretics No soild food - water, caffeine and protein shakes After that, start cutting off parts..... There is NO safe & quick way to shed weight that won't be back on in a few days of normal "living". So basically, get a bigger uniform :ohwell:
