I am back from lunch workout - a fantastic 2.5 mile in the cold. The wind chill was below 40, but to be able to run with zero pain for 2.5 miles totally offset the cold factor. I felt like I could have run all day, but made myself stop earlier rather than potentially hurt myself. I am...

LOL - gooshy is kind of a horrible word. I prefer to say fluffy. ;)

Not sure what I'm going to do today. If I don't end up making it a rest day, I know I'll do triceps and abs. I refuse to go to the gym today though. Been there 3 days in a row and the thought of going back today makes me one unhappy camper. Jessica - girl, I can't believe you are staying 3...

Chris - at least you got it done right? Sorry to hear you're having issues with your son. Hope it's nothing serious, just teenageitis..

Ok really annoyed and frustrated at work. Long story short, everyone that I need to be here to get work done is gone and I am working with a completely inept programmer. So I sort of cheated, well, not really as I am using my own personal time, but I took a super long lunch to hit the gym. I...

Girl - 2 weeks is the average. Gotta get over feeling like you owe them at this point. I know it's hard (I've totally been there). But you're moving on. They'll be just fine without you (and sometimes that's hard to swallow too).

Jessica - the best thing I did for myself was to give 2 weeks and stick to it and give myself a full week off between jobs. It was so nice to just decompress and start new.

Happy Hump Day! Not 100% sure what I am going to do today. I had thought about the gym for back then maybe spin after work. My IT muscle area is really achy though (not the knee, just down the side of the leg). Maybe the elliptical is really and truly my enemy as I have always suspected...

Jessica - if you are even slightly thinking about it - I'm going to come up there and knock some sense into you personally!!

Roxie - enjoy your workout AND your dinner out!

Jessica - you KNOW that's true. You have been so unhappy for far too long. It takes such a toll on you mentally and physically. You must do what is right for you!!

Back from drug testing and workout. I decided that since I had to be out driving on my own gas money, I may as well stop into Michael's (craft store) and Bed Bath and Beyond as they were right by the clinic :p Today was biceps from M2D18, drop sets 12,10,8,TF Curls (DBs) 17's (up 1# and...

Jessica - yep, and the closest facility is about 15 mins away. It'd be less annoying if I could just go freaking pee in a cup on site

Jessica - yes, have DOMS, guess it's sad that I am that sore and didn't even do the dang thing right. Geez. I know, I am sooooo freaking annoyed. It's cold out, I don't want to walk back out to my car and spend however long it takes doing this stupid testing. Makes you feel guilty somehow too...

Hi ladies - today should be biceps and abs for me at lunch. Not sure on the cardio. Not really thinking I want to do the elliptical again today. Ok, I think I have been screwing up the double wave loads for STS. I just pulled the cards and haven't been watching the DVDs. I haven't been...

Jessica - At least you got out and ran. That's great. It's hard to get motivated to do that when it's super cold. And I seriously had to LOL about the STS workout :eek:

Back from lunch workout - went with just shoulders from M2D19. This one has that wonderful double wave thing that is at 70% of 1Rm and the other exercises are 75% Front shoulder press: 12,10,8,12,10,8 - 15's Standing side lateral raise: 12,10,8 - 11's Prone incline rear raise: 12,10,8 -...

Ok so I'm a total loser when it comes to checking in on the weekends now. I did get in my workouts. I tried to run for the first time in a week on Saturday. I managed 1 pain-free mile then my knee got a little twinge so I stopped immediately. I went home and did the low HIIT segment from...

Just posting lunch workout - triceps: Flat bench triceps ext (DB) - 12, 10, 8 - 13's (should have tried for 13.5 at least) Flat bench triceps ext - TF (9) Side leaning 1-arm overhead ext on ball - 12, 10, 8 - 10 Double-arm Kickbacks - 12,10,8 - 11 I did the abs from High Reps. Loved...

Jessica - nice job on your weights. So glad you're also loving core work now. Chris - it's funny how hot you end up getting when you're convinced you need to bundle up for north pole temps! Roxie - hope you enjoy your workout tonight. Hope it's a less stressful work day too.
