Today is UBWO from yesterday, cardio for today skipped. I think I've gotta focus more on nutrition. Gotta eat more often and really pay more attention to what I eat and DON'T eat on the weekends. I forget my supplements a lot on the weekends. Baaaad.... I think I may add L-Carnitine back in. Not losing inches anymore really since I stopped taking it, maybe it really DOES work. We'll see! I'll pick some up Saturday when I get some $$. I'm having a fat week, I feel really fat this week...I'll get over it eventually.

So you think L-Carnitine might really work? I keep eyeing it at the vitamin store but it's SO expensive. Your workout looks good as usual. I'm with you, I really have to focus on nutrition in combo with exercise in order to really feel good. Right now I'm working on SLEEP. I was overworking myself and don't want to get strung out.

Keep up the good work! :)

Yeah, I think the l-carnitine just may work after all and be worth the dough I shell out for it. I feel like focusing on sleep right about now too. Had a really crummy week at work and am all stressed. Trying to get myself pumped to go do LBWO now. Don't wanna do deadlift today.......*whine* ok I think I'll use my anger from work and redirect it to my workout. I think I'll listen to the ICP song "I Stab People" to motivate me...it's been that kind of a week :D

Today is UBWO. I'm tired and didn't wanna do it, dad's tired today too, but we did it! Today was one of those days where you don't feel so strong. Where your warm up set of 12 feels like you're hitting a 10 already :p

I have had the hungry horrors all day. So I've been eating...and eating and eating! I've already eaten six times today, and I still have dinner and my snack later to go! :p Maybe it's a good sign. I've been eating good all week (even salads!), actually putting my food in fitday, making sure I do know totals of what I eat still. Not a bad idea to make sure I'm not getting the carb creep, ya know?

Tomorrow is cardio. Gonna shoot for windsprints, unless I get dragged out to do yardwork. :daze:

Today I did yesterday's cardio. Nothing special, my stomach was gurgling pretty bad, been sorta sick this afternoon, so I didn't dare try running. But it felt good to walk briskly.

Tomorrow is LBWO and I may try upping squats 10 lbs! Yeah, I think it's time to move there if I want to get to 200 lbs any time soon :rolleyes: Everything else is still challenging, especially deadlifts, those are a true test for me every time, I hate them and love them. I feel I could go up quite a bit on the calf raises, but can't afford the DB's right now :lol:

I think I need a leg press machine for my birthday and xmas present....yes it's a long way off...but my loved ones can save up now :p nah, I'd buy it myself first :D

Not having a good day at all. My aunt died last night, she was in her 50's and has been battling illness for over 12 years. I was close with her. So, I didn't sleep good last night, and just may skip today's cardio. I plan full well to do UBWO tomorrow and cardio on Wed.

Today was UBWO. It went very well, I stink very bad now :p

Hi!
 

I've been lurking in your journal lately...your workouts look incredible!

I think you can probably answer a question I posted to the General Exercise forum, but haven't gotten an answer to yet. When using dumbbells (say doing a bench press with a 20 lb. dumbbell in each hand), is it correct to say that I am pressing 20 lbs, or 40 lbs? It seems like a silly question, but I just want to get it right!

Thanks!
Rachel

Thanks for visiting rachel, answered ya in yer gym log too :)

Ok, did cardio today, bleh bleh bleh. Just had to cram down as much food as I could cause I have to sit in the funeral parlor for 4 hours. So I crammed in 2 salmon filets and a bunch of asparagus, some coffee, water, and I got an Atkins blueberry muffin to devour too. Ok, gotta go get dressed :spin:

Well it's all over (the funeral). There was a TON of people there. Afterward, we went for chinese food buffet. I had a pile of chicken wings, some tea, and a piece of watermelon and a bite or two of cantaloupe. I just hope I don't get all bloated :D

LBWO today.

I did cardio yesterday. Did 20 min uphill program. I really loathe cardio :p Today is UBWO and I think I'm having one of those days where I am stiff & sore before I even start! Maybe I'll get lucky and I'll feel better afterward :)
