Hi. Good to see you've gotten your gym log started. I posted my measurements in mine yesterday too. I hope we see some big losses in the right places soon.

Hi Galatia! Boy, I hear ya! It's time to get moving, for sure.

Sat. 60 minute fast walk w/Jack and Nyűszi
Sun. 60 minute jog/walk w/Hajni and Nyűszi

Mon,11am: 40 minute walk, pushing the stroller, w/Jack

UBWO 4:30pm
BB bar=8kg=17.6lbs, DB bar=2.5kg=5.5lbs, 2/4 cadence, 1 min rest between sets

BB flat bench 5kg (28.6lbs) 2x12; dropped to bar only,1x 12
alt w/ab crunches 3x20

DB incl flye 2kg(10 lbs) 2x12; dropped to 8lb, 1x12
ss w/ DB incl press 2kg 2x12; dropped to 8lb, 1x12

side lats 8lb 1x12; dropped to 5lb 2x12
ss w/seated row 6plates.......skipped due to dog in front, not worth the trouble to set up!

arnies 5lb 3x12
ss w/upright row 5lb 3x12 these are kickin' my butt

tri kb's 5lb 3x12
ss w/bi curls 5lb 3x12

man, things have really dropped off! I had to go back to my Barbie weights for some! (I have those onepiece aerobic weights in 5 'n 8lbs...no pink, though!) I knew, of course, that I couldn't jump back where I left off a yr ago, but still! At least I know it will improve quickly.

ATF squats, BW only 3x12, last 2 reps of ea set were hard
ss w/standing calf raises, BW only 3x12 not too challenging..we'll see tomorrow w/the soreness test

Leg ext 3plates (30lbs) 2x12 jello legs
ss w/individ. standing leg curls 3plates 2x12

I might drop to 2 plates next time......legs were shaking....whew!

will try to get in some cardio later on the exercycle, as tomorrow is my weekly train trip to S'var, hence an off day or light cardio.

later........when DH got home at 6pm, went for 30m jog/walk w/shepherd. Not very fun....dark and wet out, so I kept to the sidewalks, and had to constantly watch for cars, bikes, pedestrians. I think I did 50/50 between jog and walk, which means I probably did 30/70, At least I made it out!

Hi. I need to learn the conversion for kg into lbs. I see sometimes you put lbs, thank-you very much . You will gain back your strength very quickly. I was almost startled by how quickly mine came back when I got back into it. As for my "one bodypart a day" routine, I don't know....Right now I like being able to focus on one part and not worry about having to conserve energy for doing 2 or more the same day. But I spent most of my bodybuilding years doing-- back and biceps / chest and triceps / legs and shoulders-- and doing them 5 days a week so I worked almost everything twice in the week. I could go back to that. Sometimes I pair off upperbody parts and go heavy/10 sets but only 1 or two exercises for each part. You probably noticed, I don't stay with any work out plan long. I just do what I feel is right for me at the time. I try to work-out hard and heavy. Tear down the muscles and hope for growth. I probably could be doing a more productive routine, but I have to enjoy what I'm doing, or I will stop doing it. I'm not so scientific about my eating or work-outs any more. But I do enjoy seeing what everyone else is up to. It's my "virtual gym."

Thanks for the info, Galatia!

1 kg = 2.2lbs, 1 plate = 10 lbs I'll go in and edit the conversions for clarity.

Off day for weights, but will try to get some cardio in.

I've been slightly sore these past few days, which is great. Means I hit the muscles just hard enough. And I'm down another kg!

Today:
BB flat bench 28.6lbs 3x10 last few reps were hard
alt w/ab crunches 3x20

DB incl flye 10lbs 3x10 last few haaaaaaard
ss w/DB inlc press 10lbs 2x10,1x15 decided to go to failure on the last set, and now I'm thinking, why???? We'll see how sore pecs are tomorrow....

side lats 5lb 3x10
ss w/seated row, 5plates (50lbs) 3x10 bump up both of these

arnies 5lbs 3x10
ss w/upright rows 5lbs 3x10 these were both sorta easy....will bump to 8lbs next time

tri kb's 5lb 2x10, bumped up to 8lbs,1x10
ss w/seated alternating bi curls 5lb 5x2x10,8x1x10 much better; could barely finish last few reps

A good workout. Glad I got it in despite sick baby, who's sleeping now, whew Even broke a light sweat,

6pm........got in 15m on the exercycle. Level 2, 140 calories burned. Took it easy because tomorrow is leg day.

Wink the method to my madness....

I'm sorry that your little baby is sick. That is such a bad situation. They are so little and unable to tell you what they are feeling. I hope he's well soon. My grandson got sick everytime he was cutting a tooth. His Mom did the same thing.
You ask about my bench press. Well, I have no spotter, and so when I feel that it's risky to try the next rep, I stop. That's pretty much the method I use for squats and bench press. Lifts I can exhaust on without killing myself, I go to failure, most of the time. And I love doing negitives. I have a nice soreness this morning too . I'm not losing as fast as I was hoping. I'm down another 1/2 pound today, but I've been checking each morning for ketosis, and I'm still negitive, and my ring is still tight, so maybe when my body gets regulated again, more of the poundage will go. I hope, I hope, I hope.

Smile complaints and calf raises....

I'm not very sore either. I was hoping to feel something from the walking lunges, since I never do those. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel something more. What are "jelly legs?" I tell you, I've got to make peace with squats. I hate them more than anything.
Quote:
How do you get 235lbs for a seated calf? DH sit on your lap?
LOL-- No, although he'd probably like that . Here's what I do: On my squat rack, I lower the suicide bars down to the lowest setting, put the olympic bar (45 lbs) across them. I put the neck pad for squats on the bar to pad my knees-- pull the bench up to it, put a block of wood, about 18 inches long about 4 inches thick (not sure about those measurements) down to put my feet on. Load the bar with 190 more pounds, sit down, put the balls of my feet on the wood in the heels down position-- roll the bar up onto my knees and go to working it . I also figured out how to use my squat rack as a high chair for doing parallel dips. I think I already talked about that however . As you know, we have to get real creative when we don't have access to a fully equipt gym. If I could get one more piece of equipment, it would be a leg press-- because of my issues with squats. I know, squats and deadlifts are the King exercises for legs-- figures the hardest things would be the most beneficial. I must already be moving into PMS mode-- I'm feeling really irratable. I'll have to spend more time punching that bag today, that seems to really help. Sorry for the long post.

A punching bag...............gotta get me one of them. And a squat rack, too!

Today we will be working the dogs at dog school. I'm also going to try to fit in a jog/walk later this afternoon.

edit to add........got in a sunset 30min. ass-squeezin' power walk with the shepherd, AKA Fat Girl.

Smile updates, and details...

Hi. O.K. I know about "jelly legs" then . I love it when my system is hit so hard it's shaking. My tushie and calves did get sore from the leg work-out, so I guess it wasn't all bad. My arms are sore this morning-- yay! Too bad your leg press modification didn't work for you. I'll have to see if I can do it. I will say, the ski machine really gets to my quads pretty good. I think I may up "not hating" that little torture device after all . I haven't done donkey calf raises in a long time. They are fun, for the person on top . O.K. side curls--I take the dumbbells while standing-- palms facing front, db ends touching-- bring them up and out (not straight up towards your shoulders, but rather like you were giving the "I don't know" movement) it's almost a half circle with elbows staying pressed against your sides, and at the top I let the dbs twist a little to face behind me. (At the top of the movement IF you brought your hands up, you would be creating a circle around your head.) Does that make sense? Anyway, it hits my biceps differently than regular db curls. I do those too, I just love variety. Well, I don't work-out today. I will probably do the ski thing and punch the bag tomorrow, but that's all. Maybe some abs. Do you have an exercise ball? I love doing abs with the exercise ball and the low cable w/rope. Hope your day is going good. Talk to you later.

Smile just a few ramblings...

I was just at your journal and read your story of how you met your DH. What a great story!! I'm glad you all are so happy.

Quote:


I had a NordicTrak Pro, but I hardly ever used it. I could do the feet or the arm movements separately, but not simultaneously!


That's what I have the Pro-- I don't do the arms-- I lay all over that thing and just do legs . Still a great work-out for me. Maybe someday I'll be able to, but it seems so awkward--. I'm going to check out that website you talked about. I like getting new ideas, as you know. Well, I lost 3 pounds this week. That's good, but I was hoping for more. I was down to 155 yesterday, but managed to gain 1/2 pound. I don't imagine I'll lose at all this week. It's PMS week and I usually gain 2-3 pounds. I just hope I can mantain this already high weight, and not add more to it. But next week I should do better. I'm so mad at myself for gaining so much weight back-- I hope I at least learned a lesson . Anyway, I'll post later whatever I end up doing today-- I'm sure it'll just be cardio stuff, maybe some abs. Talk to you later.

That's my goal, too, Deb....to not add any pounds! Congrats on dropping 3! No loss for me this morning, on my official weigh day, but no gain, either, so I'm good with that. Measurements are basically the same, too. That's alright......I could modify my diet, probably (like cut out chocolate, ha), but I don't see the need yet. Maybe in a few months when z's on solids, and less milk.

Calves are still sore from Friday.......all the running/walking this weekend didn't help, either. I feel a lil bit in my hams, too, so I will keep SLDL's on my leg days.

Sun: cardio.......50min jog/walk combo with my friend and the Fat Girl. Beautiful day, good conversation (working on my Hungarian, ), good workout.........about 50/50 jog/walk.

Later that afternoon, 1 hr 10 min stroll around the M park w/DH and DSs. Nice, but not too relaxing, thanks to DS who cannot use a "soft voice".........scared off any possible wildlife.

pecs weren't sore from last time, and these sets weren't too bad, but I realized I need to get more weights! I need more 1kg. Hard to pregress in 2.5kg increments,

side lats 8lb 3x10
ss w/seated row, 6plates (60lbs) 3x10

I just realized that the plates on my universal gym machine are actually in lbs, not kg. Why did I think otherwise? I'll have to go back and edit, what a PITA!

arnies 8lbs 3x10
ss w/upright rows 8lbs 3x10

tri kb's 8lb 3x10
ss w/side curls 8lbs 3x10 woooooooo these were good. much better than normal curls, for me. I could actually see my biceps peeking through the pad of fat!

Good workout...I feel it, and I'm red all over.
Might be back later with some time on the exercise bike.
