For the interim few weeks I'd suggest pulling a few of the workouts off of abcbodybuilding.com - up top of their page there's a section with workouts, they are very well thought out and planned and fun - and painful You'll find the place a wealth of information.

You can do C2 the same as C1, but I would recommend changing the exercises - I would recommend changing them every 4/5/6 weeks, frankly. Again, www.exrx.net and ABC have demos of exercises for different body parts - one of the keys to growth is change! Change is good!

Viva Mexico and Hawaii !!!!!

BFL CH 1, Week 11, Day 6!

I cannot believe I am starting Week #12 on Sunday. Am I going to actually (gulp) weigh myself when this Challenge is over?
Hhhhmmmm.

I will happily measure! I squeezed into a size 12 yesterday.


Ok...Back to business...

Today's w/o: UBW-hit 10's! Added more weight to 3 exercises.
Feeling good.

BFL CH 1, Week 12, Day 3.

Best w/o ever!


UBW: Hit 10's on everything! I'm not sure if this is due to my excitement over finishing CH 1 or the fact that I "carbed up" a bit on Sat/Sun?

Anyway...I feel fabu!

January 31 & February 1:
No w/o's.

We had a very sad week...My sons best friends father passed away from cancer. I am not feeling too good...Fighting the flu...Resting my body.

I did tally up my BFL CH 1 results...In my journal.

I am looking to start my mini pre-Hawaii challenge tomorrow if I feel better.

P.S...I tried to add the picture here but I have to change it to upload it twice.

I have a cold & feel miserable.
Whine, whine, whine.

I did manage a LBW of sorts...Certainly no 10's but I accomplished something. Today was supposed to be a cardio day but I couldn't even imagine getting on the glider today.

I think this is my body's way of saying, "What are you doing? You finished BFL Ch 1 & where is my week off?!"

It's coming!!! Two weeks from Thursday...ALOHA!

I have worked out. I am doing the glider & practicing new exercises in anticipation of BFL CH 2 which I will start on March 9.
