Catherine - Nice numbers on the chins! BTW, I won't miss them when Meso 1 is over


Judi - Hope your feels better. I hate when things like that happens, really messed my neck up a few weeks ago on incline flys, still isn't right. Besides you don't want to lift like me, I am an idiot, most times I don't know when enough is enough!


Today was Meso 1 Disc 9. I'll be lucky if I can walk tomorrow, my legs have been jelly all day.

I did CCPP on the stationary this morning. I bumped up my resistance on the hills of C4 and boy did my legs burn

 

[fit_fairy]

I did ME this morning modifying some of the moves for the foot. I forget how tough this one can be My upper back is sore-I think from the chinups on Friday .

I'd like to do some cardio. Right now I'm watching the finish of the Tour de France. Maybe I'll do a short bike ride ​

 

[fit_fairy]

Talking to myself again lol!! I did CCV1 on the bike this afternoon. I leave for the RT in 4 days!!

 

[SheWolf]

Catherine - Sorry we once again left you talking to yourself! Sounds like you've had some good workouts! How do you think you will do on the RT?

Judi - Are you back yet?

This is my last week in Meso 1 and I couldn't be happier! Today was Meso 1 Disc 10 Chest, Shoulder and Biceps. Although I will admit my Biceps have an incredible pump going by the end.

But here is one thing I really hate about STS. Last Monday in Disc 6 I did three sets of 10 Standing Overhead Presses w/ DB starting at 65% and the weight by 20-30% with each additional set, fine no problem, but this week those same sets were at the end of the w/o and I was suppose to increase to 70% and drop from there. Well, I upped the weights but couldn't even make 10 reps on the first set, I failed at 8, honestly I would have been lucky to be able to do the weights I did last week by the end of this workout.

Linda, that's a good observation about the positioning of exercises from week to week. I noticed that was an issue too.

I am gonna try LM tonight (I think) I haven't done anything other than bike for cardio for a bit. My foot has made some subtle progress, but I haven't done anything to aggravate it. Cross your fingers.

Modify will be the name of the game for the RT

 

[SheWolf]

Catherine - Good luck with LM.


Oh yeah, and I am sick of pushups!

 

[fit_fairy]

I did LM step seg and blast 1-5. Wish I could say all was well, but not really. I am seriously no better than I was before surgery when it comes to stepping and some other things Frustrated!!

 

[SheWolf]

Catherine, I feel your pain. I am so sorry that your foot isn't any better. Now what?

 

[fit_fairy]

Catherine, I feel your pain. I am so sorry that your foot isn't any better. Now what?

Linda, I don't know. Fortunately it doesn't bother me too much with just daily activities and biking. It's impact stuff and certain leg exercises. My thoughts are to leave it alone for a bit. Rest it up and see. Because I'm not anxious to do much else right now. It's not as if I am damaging it and I'd rather just give it some time.

Hey Ladies-

I got back from the cabin yesterday. I was planning on hitting it hard this morning but Aunt Flo decided to visit AGAIN!! WTH?! I just had it the week of July 4th So now I'm all crampy & crabby and don't feel like doing anything. Plus I think I gained 50 pounds with all the overeating and drinking we seem to do at the cabin. BLECH!

Catherine- Sorry to hear your foot isn't healing the way you expected. It must be frustrating but it sounds like you are handling the situation well and giving it more time to heal. When do you leave for the RT?

Linda- I had to laugh when you posted about looking forward to NO chins/pulls after Meso 1 only to find out Meso 2 has them too. I'm sick of all the push ups too. Have you ever tried the perfect push up bars that rotate? I tried them this weekend and they are tough but I think I had better form with them.

Well, I think I'm still going to try a bike ride today even though I feel like crap. BBL.......

Sorry you feel bad. Maybe the bike ride will help!

I don't really have much of a choice I actually think the nerve has grown back I need to get rid of all of my negative thinking about it and move on.

I leave Thursday morning at 8:00. I am soooo ready for the work week to be over.

Judi - I have the perfect pushup handles, but I can't do as many with those as I can on my own, so I tend not to use them.

I actually think the nerve has grown back I

Catherine - Can that really happen?



Woke up with the same headsplitting headache that I went to bed with last night, so needless to say I did not feel like doing absolutely anything this morning! But.... I did Drill Max Scrambled cardio premix anyway and some ab work. Then took a 4.5 mile walk with my client.

My head still hurts like _____. I just now finally ate something, but headache is making my stomach feel lousy.

 

[NinjaMom]

I took Catherine's advice and just hopped on my bike with the attitude that I would take it easy and have fun. Well, I ended up feeling pretty good and got in 22 miles in an 1 hour 45 minutes and burned 672 calories.

Catherine- Thanks for the push to get me moving...the ride helped.

Linda- Sorry about the bad headache. I can't believe you could do Drill Max feeling that way then out for a long walk! You are amazing. Hope you feel better soon.
