Well, we ended up going a little lighter on deadlifts today cause I had no energy and dad's back was very sore. I did some cardio on the treadmill last night even though I didn't want to. Cardio again tomorrow, depending how I feel, I may run a bit. Not having my oatmeal is making a difference in energy levels. May need to find something to fix the issue.

Today is going to be leg day, tomorrow is back/biceps. I'd prefer to have a rest day between these 2 workouts, but I already know what my week is looking like and I can't if I want to be on track. Monday I've got to go shopping for the new vending machine & do a ton of errands related to it after work, Tuesday we are putting the machine in, hoping to get a workout in on Tues. Energy levels still low. Have had a yam once this week, didn't help at all.

I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but the workout above was the last one I've done this week so far. I was hoping to get home early enough today to get a workout in, but it didn't pan out that way. My mom's sister died and we were at the wake yesterday afternoon/evening after work & the funeral all morning/afternoon today then had to do vending stuff afterward. So kinda threw a wrench into everything. But tomorrow I'm planning to do chest/shoulder/triceps no matter how bad my schedule fights me! Need to get in some cardio Saturday.

Hey DarkLotus, just stopped by to say hi. I'm still plugging along lifting and walking. The weight (fat) is coming off slowly but I'm staying with it. Keep up the good work!

Marty

Hi Marty I went and visited you too, KUTGW!

I was bad on my off day and had way too many LC beers So today I'm gonna go see LOTR return of the king, then gotta do vending errands, gotta eat a good meal 2 hours before workout, THERE is the challenge! Don't know when I will fit that in. Then gotta do the monster workout of the week: chest/shoulders/triceps.

Today we finally got in that workout! Three days late, but it's done. And it was brutal. We did close grip bench presses to failure, my dad kept whining "are we done yet?!?!" everytime I threw another 5# on each side but he did it.

So tomorrow is back/biceps. I would like a rest day, but I'm behind schedule this week. Besides, I should be fine tomorrow (I hope! I gotta be!)

My dad didn't want to workout yesterday, said he wanted a rest day, so I gave in though I was ready to go. I warned him that meant today would be a brutal double. We got it done rather quickly though. My abs are killing me from all the deadlifts. I had my foot spacing wrong on my first set of squats and just worked through the set anyhow, big mistake. Knee is sore now. I'll get over it Just ordered me some Syntrax Fuzzy Navel since I liked the carribean cooler so much. And more importantly I DID NOT order any Premier Odyssey bars, though I looove them! See! I was good!

So today we did the back workout above and legs too: In looking at this as I check for spelling errors, I see I upped my squat 20 lbs today too without even meaning to No wonder my knee REALLY hates me now and why it seemed difficult today

Got squished by a vending machine Monday. No workout yesterday or today, hand is numb, back hurts. Much whining going on. Hopefully will do back/bis/tris tomorrow if I have feeling in my hand.

I did do chest/shoulders/tris that next day, I just never got to posting it. My dad got a kidney stone Friday and I had to rush him to the ER, so that screwed up working out after work Fri.

This is journal crap, but I never write in there: I had a planned cheat meal after we got in from the hospital, 1/2 a cheese pizza and a stout. I went right back on plan, no issues, just a little bloating that went away in a few hours. So almost 2 years, only 2 planned cave-ins foodwise, I think my body needed it. I'd been having bad cravings all week, and I know it's hormone related. And I did take yesterday off, did errands, that's it.

Today I did chest/shoulders/tris again. Not gonna post what I did agian, it was the same WO, except on the flat bench flyes I went 5 # lighter today due to no spotter and it's hard for me to get up with the 40's on a flat bench without bruising myself Tomorrow I may try to get in that missed WO from Friday. If I really feel energetic, I will do some cardio afterward.

Monday: Leg day from Friday

Let's see, I haven't been posting my workouts like I normally do, my schedule has been nuts. I did chest/shoulders/tris on Sunday. I did legs today and really went nuts squatting and did some sumo squats too. Tomorrow I'm doing back and hopefully some cardio Friday.
