New Chest/bi workout and after the freakishly filling day I had yesterday, the workout was great!!! So, here is:

Decline dumbbell bench press;
5x15lbs. x12.............need to increase to 20 lbs next time

Dumbbell incline shoulder raise:
(felt kinda like a lame one, but I'm really feelin' it!)
5x20lbsx12................need to increase to 25 lbs. next time

Flyes
5x15lbsx10.................no increase needed!

Concentration curls:
3x12lbsx12
1x " x 10
1x" x 8.....................dang...bi was twitchin' after this one!

Hammers:
5x12lbx x12..................maybe increase next time, only if I start with this one.

Awsome work out... did little dances to Nora Jones in between sets. I like having exercise that work both sides at the same time, I feel more efficient.
Peace out!!!

Chest/Bi's

Did this at 8ish last night. Wasn't going to even work out but had so much energy that I decided to do it, anyway. Yea for me, eh?

same routine as last week, felt some weakness in the concentration curls last night.

Plan on getting the back/tri in tonight when the girls go to their dad's, but we'll see...I may have other plans that involve NO kids in the house and me and Ricky!
Peace,
Bren

FORCED myself to get the back/tri work out in this afternoon. Pulled the hammie in the right leg yesterday, so I don't know if I'll be doing the lbwo tomorrow or not.
Went to the dentist this morning. A fair check up, but MAJOR headach because I had to hold my mouth open for so long. It's fricken hot and windy so with trees getting cut down, my allergies are buggin'.
Yea, I'm happy, if you weren't gettin' that.
Gotta go to soccer,
Peace,
Bren

I went looking for you in the journals and could not find you anywhere!!!! :eekdon't I sound like a Mother ) Then I got ahold of myself and found you here!!!! How have you been? What is new? That candy idea sounds tempting. It also scares the "BEEP" out of me. I don't know if I could trust myself with an eat candy day or hour or min for that matter. I might stay clear of that program. It sure sounds like it works for the more secure among us. Well I just wanted to stop by and say hello I miss ya and hope you return soon.Bye Bye

Hi Bren

No journal, so just dropping by to wish you a happy birthday in your gym log. I hope that you have a wonderful day.
