Good morning!
I ended up getting a great upper body workout in last night. After the retirement party I got home and DH's friends were still here so I took the dogs to the basement so they could run in the backyard and be free
and I worked out. I did biceps, triceps, back, shoulders and chest. Two exercises for each muscle group, 3 sets of 15 reps. All those details as usual. All I had at the retirement party was a hamburger on a bun with ketchup and tomato and I tore a lot of the bun off and I had fruit on the side. There was SO MUCH other stuff. People had their plates piled high. I had water to drink. People were going crazy with the beer. And then driving. I finally had to leave b/c I was getting so hungry again and everybody was eating this really yummy looking cake. I had my friend get some so I could have a teensie bite. :9 She cut me a sliver but I told her I didn't want a sliver I only wanted a little taste so she had to eat the rest.
I'm waiting for DH to get up so we can ride. I might go start my ride and do the first hour and then come home and get him for the second hour. I can't decide. It's so hard to stop and then go again. Especially since our driveway is up a hill and we live in a dirt road neighborhood so I'd have to slow all down and everything and then start my engines back up again. I'm bigger on early morning workouts than he is which makes working out together harder. I want to get it done! Especially since it's supposed to be in the 90's today.
Storm - Have a FABULOUS vacation. We'll miss you!!!

Good Morning Maniacs!!!
I have DOMS in the ole' gluteus and legs. Haven't done the leg work from P90X for awhile so it bit me back alittle. Want to go on bike ride today..will have to check weather first as I am suppose to do Kenpo, but would rather ride.
FIL got some answers back to his series of test. He has a rare and fast growing cancer in the liver. Going to John Hopkins in Baltimore to see if they can do something for him. The problem is since it is fast growing, it may already be too late. I know he signficantly has gone down hill in just 2 months...lost a lot of body mass and looking very frail as compared to when he came to live with us in December.
Things have just been kinda depressing around here lately. Not even sure if we are gonna on a vacation this year either. Broke too, but the job is going great..I love working there. The girls are a trip to be around. We have alot of fun and they are all hard workers.

Good Morning, it is still raining here. We lost a whole tree branch yesterday and dh had to go out and cut it up. I don't know what hit it. It was split right off the tree. Today I am doing either a treadmill run or step, abs and yoga/stretch. I may not take a rest day tomorrow if I can wake up early enough before church. I have 3 more days and then we are off camping Then it will be a rest. I am taking some scrapbooking stuff with me. It will be nice relaxing for a few days.
Charlotte, it is good to hear that you are enjoying your job. I know I got soreness in my legs when I first started doing P90X. Sorry to hear your fil has a fast growing cancer. I will keep him in my prayers.
Anne, enjoy that vacation You need the break.
Suz, good for you not eating all of the extra stuff. Now I usually start good with small amounts and go back several times and get some more small amounts. Sometimes if I am lucky I will feel guilty because people will see me going back and think I am a piggy LOL My big thing that is hard to not eat when we go camping is the smores. I can eat those things till I feel sick. If I can avoid the first one I will be ok

Well everyone, I did it!! Got on the scale this morning and even though Aunt Flo is in full force, I'm down to 124.2# and my bodyfat clocks in at about 16% if not lower. I'm 1# below my goal.
I haven't been below 125# in 2 years. And of course yesterday a few people told me I looked too thin but I also got a lot of questions of, "Do you work out? You look great." So I'm really happy about this.
Weird thing is, I upped my calories the last two weeks. Hovered around 1660 to around 1800 for a couple days. Kept my carbs at 120-126 g. and my fats are at 53-60 g.
I'm going to a festival here in town today and I'm going to enjoy a gyro and ice cream.
Week 4 - Push - Next week starts the last 4 weeks of this rotation. I will change exercises around a bit to make it different. Looking forward to it. This morning I was kind of low on energy. Not sure why. But my weights were still very good. 2 minute rest between everything:
Chest
Barbell Bench Press: 110# - 4 reps (wasn't happening); 105# - 2 sets/6 reps
Low Incline Dumbbell Press: 45's !!!! FINALLY! 3 sets/8 reps
Decline Dumbbell Pres: 40's - 3 sets/10 reps
Legs
Squats: 100# - 3 sets/6 reps (same weight, I'm afraid to go above 100# for some stupid reason)
Hack Squats: 90# - 2 sets/8 reps (broke another blood vessle and could not hold onto the bar for the 3rd set. Not as bad but it still hurts. Same middle finger as last week)
Static Lunges: 85# (up 20#) - 2 sets/10 reps
Shoulders (really felt fatigued here for some reason)
Barbell Press: 62# - 3 sets/6 reps (was suppose to do 4 but said screw it)
Dumbbell Press: 25's - 3 sets/8 reps (was suppose to do 2 sets but upped it since I wimped out on the BB Press)
Triceps
Close Grip Bench Press: 85# - 3 sets/6 reps FINALLY!! This was getting personal!
Bench Dips: 3 sets/20 reps
Anne - have fun girl!
Char - I'm sorry about your FIL, that has to be hard.
Hope you all have a great day! Weather is perfect here once again.

I finished my workout. I started with the treadmill for 3.25 miles while I listened to the free Itrain download about fitness and nutrition. This is really a good informational audio that is only 20 minutes. I then did I Max 3 intervals 6-10 no w/up or str, I followed with Butts and Guts abs and added some extra weighted crunches and oblique work with the stability ball, finished with Amy Bento's Stretch #1. Now I am off to the store

Hey Everyone,
Just checking in. Charlotte so sorry to hear the news about you FIL, cancer is hard to deal with. I wish the best for all of your family during this time.
I did chest last night, and today I cut an acre of grass with a push mower! I think that counts for a good workout. I'm doing back tomorrow. Going out with BIL and SIL to eat then going to see Pirates. I hope it's good, cause it's three hours long. We'll see.
Hi to everyone! I hope all of you have a great weekend!

I updated my picturetrail if any of you are interested. I took like 20 pics this morning and hated just about every one of them!! The mirror sure did reflect a better image then my stupid camera did. I liked 3 of them and that was a stretch. I put them on my picturetrail:

Debbie - You look GREAT! I can tell your BF is lower. Awesome abs too girl! And congrats on the weight loss. How exciting! I know what you mean about mirror vs. pics. I always think I look better in the mirror than in pics. What is up with that? I'm glad you're getting the too thin comments too.
Lora - How was the movie?
Storm - I'm sure you will look hot in your suit - especially with your hooters. Think of us while you're gone. I'm envious!
Charlotte - I'm sorry about your FIL. That's so sad. How's your DH holding up? I'm glad you like your job though. Who knew??? You have a great attitude.
Diane Sue - I LOVE smores! How long are you going camping for? DH wants to get a camper for our pickup. And maybe some jet skis next year or so. He misses having jet skis. And now that I'd be more comfortable in a suit around people he works with...
Sandy - An acre of grass with a push mower? Holy cow woman! Maybe you can even have some popcorn at the movies.
We ended up not going to The Palace today. We stayed in town and went grocery shopping and then ordered pizza (I'm really not a huge fan) and I take off the pepporoni before we bake it and I put on green peppers and tomatoes on my 2 pieces. I couldn't even eat both pieces. Then, since it is our cheat day I made chocolate cake. Now I feel like I'm gonna puke. I haven't had anything junky like that in so long. Well, we did have a small ice cream cone a couple of times in the past couple of weeks on cheat days, but cake - yikes. It's so heavy. I sure don't like it like I used to.

Suz , our camping is supposed to be the 4th - the 8th. We will see how long we last. This will be a first camping experience for the puppiesI have been taking them in the trailer to get them used to it.
A camper sounds good because it leaves the opportunity to pull a trailer with the jet skis or whatever you want to drag along. You know they have campers with the pop out that allows so much more room. Well I think I will really try to ignore the fact that there are smores there. Yeah, I do not know what it is but eating cleaner, those cakes and a lot of the candy just settle like a ton of led and make you feel sick.
