Thanks!!
WELL!!!
I need to get back on track!!!
One week-end of chips and salsa and margaritas did not do me good at all!!

got drunk
rode the mechanical bull and damnit I looked good falling off it!
ATE A LOT!
dropped it like it was hot on the dance floor.
made a couple of boyfriends that night

the hangover is the worse.


hitting the gym tomorrow and drinking lots of water. dehydration sux!

 
oh I lost my cell phone during all the fun. now that SUXXXXX more than the hangover

Diet was good. It has to be all I have to do is have one bad week-end or look at food all wrong I start to feel more jiggly than usual.
 
BUT I am back on track.
 
fish oil/vitamin/water
 
 
did a lot of bag work. A lot of squats, lunges, sumo squats, sumo deadlifts (<---never heard of this before) side squats-all while holding 2-20lbs dumbells, sprints, jump rope
 
I plan on working on arms+ plus cardio. my legs are shakey I know they are going to ache tomorrow.
 
a lil bummed--my trainer girlfriend moved up North with her husband and kids. aside from this site she was a HUGE motivator for me :(  she has amazing genetics, a great diet, and great routine. U would never guess 4 children came out of her body.  

diet was good. It was chicken, whey, some veggies (cabbage), and some steak (odd I don't even like steak all that much).
 
1/2 gallon of water
 
Did not go to the gym today. I have minor body aches today. I do have to say that around this time cravings are crazy and water retention is real bad (yea pms). I have noticed bothe are not as severe as last month. I don't have cravings at all (not the mad cravings I get). I have been very consistent w/ the fish oil and multiv. Im not kidding it gets bad-bad enough my doc wanted to prescribe antidepressants. I have strong personal issues against psychotropic meds-so I said nope not for me. I would rather eat good food, drink lotsa water, take a vitamin and some fish oil pills couple times a day. Too bad I did not do this a long time ago!    

Meals were great. Chicken/veggies/nuts/water
multi/fish oil.
 
-SO-
 
I looked into NROL for women. I do not like to buy magazines/books regarding nutrition/weight loss/muscle/etc. I can find a lot of stuff online. But I decided to pick this book up and read it at barnes and Noble and not buy it.
I liked it. I bought it. I am kinda excited about it. There is plenty variety and room to make a lot of progress (especially for me i am starting at a beginner level). I skimmed through the book. I took it with me to the gym did some movements from the first stage. I have yet to start tho. I need to read the book to make sure I know what I am doing and I also need to make sure my diet is good.  

Hardway is doing the program too so you two could chit chat.

5'6" 125/ Bench: 115 / Front squat: 90 / Deadlift: 205 / Pullups: 10

Why yes I am.

But i did finally look into the womens one. It is VERY, VERY, different from the boys. I just skimmed it in a book store.

But, I think it is really well suited for Janes goal, not so much mine, I definately am sticking with the boys programs.

I did not look at the book for men. I thought about getting the men's book, BUT I thought the same thing too. I think the women's book is better suited for me. Like I said I think it is a good beginner book (for the ladies). I am a beginner.  
 
I started today. I was going to start on Monday what's the difference?
 
I used dumbells instead of barbells. In the second stage I would like to use the barbell--I aint ready tho. The bar weighs what?? 45-50lbs?? I can use it when it is attached to something. But once I am standing and it goes over my head my balance is off.  
 
Squats: 2X15 (2- 25 pd dumbells)
 
Push ups: 2X15
seated row 2X15 100 lbs
 
step ups: 2X15 (50 lbs)
prone jackknife: 2X8 
 
some of these names I have never heard of. It was easy enough for me follow through. It is challenging enough for me not to get bored (it seems as though it will be a little bit different each time) and see some results.
 
Meals were good-really working hard with the good. I am cooking/freezing/packing/ I have access to food in my purse/ truck/office (whey/tuna/nuts) for when I want to eat a snack. A lot of water as well.
salmon/veggies/brown rice/egg whites
whey
water
fish oil/mulit
 
It got my heart rate goin. I kept thinking "but I aint runnin."
Im excited!  
I do want to add sprints/jump rope/kickboxing (not all together). I will figure it in perhaps next week.
 
My waist is 33.5 inches. I would like to see 28,29, 20-something. I don't care as long as it is 20 something.
I will take before and afters as well.     

You will get to 20-something just keep working!

And how do you do normal weight for some things and then row 100lbsx15??? Crazy strong back?

yea...I dunno when I woke up this morning my lats were super super sore---my whole upper backside was sore!
 
 
my meals were good.
green tea/water/fish oil/multi
 
Okay, so I did go again. I know I should take a day off. I will work it to where I do have breaks in between next week.
 
Deadlifts: 2X15 60pds
Dumbell shoulder press: 2X15 25 lbs/each hand 
Wide Grip pulldown: 2 sets 80/15 90/15
Lunges: 2X15 2/25 dumbells
crunches on swiss ball: 2X8
 
I am not going to deviate from the amount of weight I am using. It was challenging so I am sticking w/ it.
 
 
either my hands are too small or my grip suX. I think my grip just suX! 
**if the bar weighs 40lbs, I added 60 lbs does it make 100???

Bar weighs 45lbs.

well shoot. I was not able to go to the gym today. it was closed. I guess it is closed because it is Easter tomorrow.
I am sore anyway, I will go on Monday.  

Squats: 2X15 (2- 25 pd dumbells)

Push ups: 2X15
seated row 2X15 100 lbs

step ups: 2X15 (50 lbs)
prone jackknife: 2X8 actually 2X12 for whatever reason I thought it was 12 instead of 8.
 
.5 miles @ 4.0
 
It is the same weight I did last week. I will stay here because it was hard to do.
 
diet was good:
oatmeal/whey
salmon/veggies/brown rice
almonds/egg whites
loads of water   

diet was good.
Deadlifts: 2X15 70 pds added to bar   
Dumbell shoulder press: 2X15 25 lbs/each hand 
Wide Grip pulldown: 2 sets 70/15 90/15
Lunges: 2X15 2/25 dumbells
crunches on swiss ball: 2X8
 
my arms felt like exploding. I am not walking into the weight room tomorrow. Kickboxing for tomorrow  

diet was good.
eggs/chicken/wheat bread/cottage cheese/veggies//nuts
fish oil/multiv
 
Did a lot of bag work/jump rope/ sprints outside. I did a lot of cardio. I thought my arms were going to be dead today from yesterday, but arms felt great.
 
Today I was checkin me out in the locker room. It seems I have more junk in da trunk. AND I have noticed my slacks are snug in the upper legs and butt. The waist feels the same (not tight at all which is great). I have been noticing this for a couple of weeks now. I think I am okay with this because it is not fat-I think. However, I also do not want to look thicker and stalkier than I already do either.
