Hi Deb, Linny, Josie, and Joan--
This morning I did disk 21 for back and bis a second time (60 min.). My biceps are fried. I did the double wave barbell curls, starting with 30, then 32 1/2, then 35 lbs. The double wave on one arm rows, I did 17, then 20, then 22. For deadlifts and barbell rows, I used a 45 lb. barbell. I am still using my bands for pullups and chinups, and doing a couple without any help.
Josie, if you decide to go to La Boeuf a la Mode, it's really easy to get there by subway. If I remember, it's the one that goes uptown on third avenue--maybe the 5 or 6? You should ask your concierge. Also, if you go there you are a couple blocks from this big walkway next to the Hudson River (I used to go jogging along there and walked my dog there). If the weather is nice, it's a beautiful walk--lots of people and very safe neighborhood (Yorkville) because close to Gracie mansion. Gee, I am beginning to feel nostalgic for NYC!! I wish I could recommend a good Chinese restaurant, but they change so fast down in Chinatown. We used to go to this one place where they had a big sea bass done Szechuan style. MMMMM. Then the owner/chef lost the place because of gambling. We also had a favorite place in Little Italy, but the last time we went there it wasn't so good. Pizza everywhere in NYC is wonderful.
My favorite on American Idol was voted off last night. Allison Iraheta. She reminded me of Janis Joplin. Now, I really don't care who wins.
Mother's Day with my MIL. DH and his sister are going to put a meal together for us. Since my sons are coming the following weekend for a big sports banquet (the younger one has been voted into the local sports hall of fame), I won't be seeing them for another week.
