Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Friday May 16

[SheWolf]

Evening Maniacs,

It is done! Today was the last day of this rotation! Yipee! Rest week! May do some cardio though. Anyway, today was supersets done in three sets of 12 with 1:30 rests.

Back/Chest
Weighted Chins
9/8/7 - 2#
Incline Bench Press
12/12/9 - 83#
***I know it was only 2# on the chins, but you gotta start somewhere. Not sure why I failed on the inclines, I only went up a pound, I guess the superset did me in.

Quads/Triceps
Bulgarian Split Squats
12/12/12 - 80#
Close Grip Bench Press
12/12/12 - 78#
***Did BSS with dumbbells this time. Also CG Bench felt great, almost failed at 77# last week so only went up a pound, but this week no problem, go figure?***

Shoulders/Hamstrings
Alternate Front Raises
12/12/12 - 16's
Wide Stance Squats
12/12/12 - 95#

Then did some ab work.

Have a great weekend!

Toasty - I mean the routine you are doing now. You're funny....haunted B&B!!!

Meg- I didn't get a PM or email from you....however, will you kindly PM Ally cuz I asked her to forward her email to you....it's easier. thanks. Is that okay? Also, are you still gonna do it if I'm going to be going away and not starting until the 28th or 29th now?

Diane Sue - How was the caramel swirl whey? You're gonna wither away to nothing testing your new HR monitor out!!! LOL.

Ally - Are you still gonna do Warp Speed? I feel bad.....but the DH really wanted to take advantatge of the fact that I'm not working and we could go away. We payed out the nose for everything and went into some debt.....but he's been wanting to go and if I get a new job....I won't be allowed to have a vacation for another year and it's already been a while! Wish us luck on getting out of debt some day! ETA: these workouts are leaving me famished. I'm starving and I just ate at 4:00 pm!

I need all the prayers and hopeful job wishes I can get!! There is job right down the street at a large Radio Station. They own 7 stations and one of the stations is the Rock station I love! It's 3 minutes away ......and I could even walk there if I wanted to get some exercise. It's also an easier receptionist job....answering the phone, greeting visitiors and passing out prize packages to radio contest winners....and general office....including getting the contest winners stuff in order, etc. I think I'd love working in a radio station and it's so close to home that I could eat at home!! I want it soooooooo bad. Job just went in the paper this morning and I dropped my resume off this afternoon.

I just got done packing...........all ready to go! I can't stand not being prepared. We leave at an Ungodly hour in the AM on Friday and come home on Tuesday.....must brush up on my Black Jack. We're really in debt now!! Yikes! Had to take this opportunity to get away before I get another job and need to work forever before I get a week off!! You only live once.

Lora, the Caramel Swirl was not as good as the chocolate fudge. Whenever I try an artificial caramel flavor product it is a huge disappointment. I guess you need real sugar for that.
I am going to figure out that new HR monitor. This one has more stuff to figure out. I doubt I will whither away as I will just find more to eat. LOL
I am sure you will enjoy your vacation. I hope you get that job. Sounds like something that you would love.

Lora - you are too funny! I am going to do the Warp but I am going to start on Monday. It will be easier to keep up with, however I am going to do the cardio tomorrow.

Funny - but today I was starving too! I had eaten my lunch by 10:30! I had to go get a snack (small salad).

Have fun in Vegas!!!! Good luck with the radio - what a blast. With gas prices, working close to home is a big deal.

Diane Sue - Good thing Lush won't be open when we go....as I'm broke and this is the welfare/unemployment trip! LOL! I hardly ever go that far up that end of the strip, but there's a Tram that connects from the Luxor to Mandalay Bay and we like to stay at Luxor when we get a Hot Tub room cuz they're reasonable rates. Next trip, I'll have to bring an extra piece of luggage to take my Lushie home in....LOl! I was just ready to order a new workout outfit and some Lush when I lost my job. Good thing I didn't order. I need to save every penny I have. I filed for unemployment, but the place I worked disputed it stating "unsatisfactory work performance". We'll be fighting it out, as I disagree....since I was a Temp to Hire and then they Hired me! I must have done something right!

Ally - that's what I hate about these metabolic weighted circuits.......the way it makes me sooo hungry. When I did Jillian MIchael's book circuits (which are quite tough), I was always hungry. I suppose if I wasn't a vegetarian, I might not be like this....but i can't stand meat! I can't swallow it...it grosses me out big time. I sent you an email asking for your opinion on what I should do about continuing Warp Speed or not.

Lora, I would probably spend so much in a Lush store LOL I always go to Bebe's too. Love their clothing. I am sure they must have thought you were good or they would not have hired you.
