*****Chinups are Awesomeness*****

Hey ladies!! This has been the craziest vacation week I think I've ever had. Bisquit is recovering from her surgery. But we are having to keep them seperated from each other due to the fact that they want to kill each other x( I had my gyno appointment yesterday. Been dealing with pelvic pain issues from endometriosis and am tired of it. Well the exam and the ultrasound set off the pain even worse. So yesterday I was practically in tears over all of this :(
The dogs fighting when I brought Bisquit home was the last straw. Plus the chronic discomfort/pain just takes a toll on me mentally after a while. Ok, I will stop whining now!!

I have been doing some cardio this week but no wts. Had planned on an active recovery week. But so far I've had three rest days x( I had planned on doing a test of max reps on chinups today. Well I did attempt and I got to 8. I really wasn't appropriately warmed up so I think I could've got 9 or maybe even 10. But I will take 8. Maybe tomorrow if I am feeling better I will try again and see.

Marcy, I hope you find some time to check in through all of your crazyness!! Did you go shoe shopping yet?

Briee, have you ever added ankle wts to your chinups? I can not remember if you've mentioned that.

Joanne, I know you are still at it girl ;)

Well, it's me responding to me again :+. It's almost like my own personal journal LOL!! Ok, I know you guys will be around soon ;)

Today is the first day since I brought Bisquit home that the dogs are in the same room without fighting. It is like walking on egg shells. Trying not to start anything. Pretty much ignoring them (which is per the specialist) so they don't get jealous of one another. That is hard when Bisquit needs attention :(

I felt much better this morning and did part of BM2 -till foot starting hurting. But the best new is my chinup numbers. You all know I've been doing weighted chins (with my ankle wts). Well today I did max rep chinups BW only. I did 9.5,8,&8!! My best numbers yet http://bestsmileys.com/kao/1.gif http://bestsmileys.com/kao/1.gif
Now I will go back to weighted chinups and continue to increase the wt. I will recheck max reps monthly.

Anyone else chinning?

Hey Catherine-

Glad you are feeling better today. That is too bad about your foot. I've had a weird pain in my right foot and it is only if I step down a certain way. Never hurts when I walk or run.

Yes, I have been still working on those chins. Did two today. Also, just got done doing Circuit Max (heavey leg work on the circuits). I love that one.

I see you are going on the RT in August. I'm going in July. I'm sad I won't see you this year-oh well, maybe next time.
