D's excercise journal
 

I figure if I am going to spend what little comp. time I have in the gym logs I might as well have one. I am on c1w5d2. I hade to be at work at 5 am so no 20 mas today. But I changed my excercises yesterday on my ubwo and wow!! I feel it today and I took 18 gr of glutamine yesterday. It is like starting over!! This is great. Can't wait to do my lbwo tomorrow!! Hope I can walk. :D

Oh I like that you've got one of these too now! Visiting is fun. I'm going to attempt a LBWO tonight - I anticpate no walking enjoyment until Thursday, but for some reason I'm not as excited about it as you!

Looking forward to reading along!

I am so disappointed!! I don't feel a thing. as a matter of fact I am going to work out when I get home. I definitely am going to have to change my excercises.I done:

barbell step ups
leg ext.

straight leg deadlifts
lunges

angled calf raises
one leg calf raises.


I think I will put a cement block under my step for my step ups. I had 30 lbs for my leg ext. so I will go to atlest 45. My calf excercises were fine. I did not seem to get the workout I wanted with the deadlifts! I did lunges as my main last 4 weeks, so...

Nat,

HELP!! Will it hurt to keep on with the lunges or can you give me something else to do??

okay, I worked out in the yard after work yesterday and ended up doing my lbwo at about6 pm last night. Done a really good workout, but still not too sore. just barely. :confused:

Did 20 MAS~ 5am today. Convinced that I will invest in a stopwatch that lights up today. Could do my running a little earlier except I can't see my stop watch!

I bought a new bench It is wonderful, now... I found a 60lb set of dumbbells to add to my collection. I think 2 sets of dumbells would be sooooo convenient. I bought 2 sets of clamps and they work well on my threaded dumbbells. I'll be ready by the end of the challenge!! :rolleyes: :D

DOMS
 

The D in DOMS is for Delayed ;) Give it some time, D. I usually feel the full effects of LBWO's 24 to 36 hours later.

Keep up with the lunges - they are a great compound move. You can vary how far you step out to focus the work on either glutes/hamstrings or the quads if you like.

Nat

Thanks for the reply Nat, I just usually feel it the next day. This is the first time I not been sore. Hey just when I get used to one thing my body throws me for a loop. :D :D

Kinda bizarre, I'll agree. I'm in the same boat - my quads are usually screaming after a BRx LBWO (to the point I have to use the handicapped washroom to sit down and get up) but this time? Nadda. However, my calves are killing me - and they never hurt. "sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't" (substitute "nut" for "hurt" )

Nat-

I know exactly what you mean. I told my husband- You know it's bad when it hurts to sit on the toilet!! I am a bit more sore today, but still not like I usually am. I'll see how next week goes.

ubwo was great! hit 10's Gotta love those tricep kickbacks!!
I can always tell how I have done by how hungry I am. Yes I been eatin' all day so far. Ordered some whey protein from EAS (Vanilla cream) waiting for it to get here Hope it tastes better than this brand I have been getting from Walmart.

Today was a real let down!

My 12 yr old son decided he wanted to jog with me. So we did and he kept up, but I was just not as concentrated as normal and just really wasn't into it. Soooo tired and just icky feeling.
Could not figure it out, then got out of my dumb phase and counted the days on the calendar and lo and behold tom came to visit . No wonder I have been tired this week!!so glad tomorrow is a free day. Looking at possible doing heavyhands for my 20 MAS. I dunno.

Sunday-

lbwo. Hit 10's all the way!! Went back to squats and lunges and I can feel it today.!!


Monday
Did not do 20 MAS today! got up late and legs are pretty sore from yesterday! :D Might do 20 MAS after work. or I might just go swimming with daughter. Since it is just the two of us. I can't believe I am on wk 6!! Not seeing much change, but my muscles are harder and I have not gained anything. Not really checking weight ofr measurements untill end of wk 8.

lbwo

Good w/o could have been better but I was not focused! I do my w/o in my garage and the cat got in and used it for a potty. That is especially lovely to wake up and find at 4 am. Had to clean that up before trying to do my w/o!! May go back and do some more tonight!! Pants are tight today!! I think my butt is growing or something. Found some truly horrible before LC pictures!! Soon as I can get some up to date pictures I will post them. did not realize I looked that bad. :eek: :eek: Have been moving my parents into a trailor on my property for the last month, Hopefully We will get that completed next week!! I will be able to get on the internet in the evening and therefore keep up my jornals a little better!!

I know somewhere on this forum is a thread that contained some protein shake recipes and I can't find them!! If anyone knows where they are please direct me in the right direction!!

did not do 20 MAS today. Rainaing out!! I have got to find a way to get these cardios in! I just haven't found a reliable way to do it yet! May just have to break down and get a treadmill. Anyway, I will figure something out! Went to bed at 7:30 last night and still did not want ot get up at 4:30. Sooooo tired! I think I am going to have to get more veggies in and up my carbs some. I hate to do this because I feel like I am busting out of my pants, lately!! I know you can't go by the scale, but I don't think I coul stand to go up a pants size!!

Got up late today, darn-it!!
I may do my ubwo this afternoon, but more likely will do it tomorrow!! Eating is going real good today. I think that I may try HITT instead of 20 MAS. Just need to change up a little.

Done my ubwo that I missed yesterday!! It went good. Feelin' my arms and back already. I have not been sleeping to well for about a week and I think I finally figured that out. I have been drinking a glass of tea with my last meal and I think it is not de-caf. I used to buy de- caf and then I just stopped drinking tea all together. I think this may be some tea that dh bought . Will be picking up some de-caf today and seeing if that is the problem. I have been doing concentration curls. all I can say is WOW!!! I really feel those bi's now.! And side lifts.(Still only able to do 5#'s on each dumbell for all my reps and reach failure. one day I will move up on weight!!)

All I can say is I will be sore tomorrow. I decided to superset my workout today. Still only took about 45 min and it was a good workout!!I did not do my calves. I think I will do them tomorrow or Sat. I am probably going to look at the workout arrangement I have. I would rather lift 6 days a week so i think I will break it down into 6 days next week, maybe. I bought a pair of capri jeans in a 9 juniors yesterday :D :D No I did not even try them on 'til I got home!! They are a bit snug but I wore a ling t-shirt and they are just fine!!IF I could find my camera and therefore have the last roll of film developed I would / will post some pics next week. My daughter took some of me the other day with a disposable so who knows how they will turn out.
