Todays Workouttook an extra rest day before FatLoss II
Semi Day off
walked on treadmill steady state 25 min. (fast walk)

Okay sorry, I need to rant. This guy PT that works out of my gym seems to have an issue with me and my "posse"... so what? I have got all these people from my work who go to the gym who are doing some form of the programs I am doing or have been doing. The dude is a jerk its like he's mad because no one wants his help. The PT's are an additional cost at the gym and he keeps asking everyone where are you getting your workouts, like there is no such thing as books and the internet. One person told them it was me and my husband (they never see Tony he works out at home), guess this set him off.

He helps out occasionally if someone’s form is off but with a TOTAL attitude. I mean isn’t that what you work at a gym for?? But he is so mean and looks at me with such contempt (he never talks to me - just stares me down.) I don’t back down I stare right back. I’m ranting today because today he sped walked across the gym to walk in front of me all exasperated, put his hand up and said excuse me... like he was someone important I had to stop for... a-hole!

If by some twist of fate he ever finds this log - the reason you have no clients is because your so unapproachable and you only talk to skinny young chicks with big tits...(btw your interrupting their workouts!) no one who is going to trust you or take you serious no matter how many shrugs and curls you do.

Todays Workout
FLIIB (60s/rest)
WGDL 3 x 12 @ 90
T Push Ups 3 x 12 on bench 45*
BSS w/overhead press 3 x 12 @ 5/e
Underhand Pulldown 3 x 12 @ 80
RDL w/Bent over row 3 x 12 @ 40 (I was shocked by the lack of weight but I was dying by this point)
Lower body russian twist 3 x 12 @ bw (seriously I could barely get up off the floor for the super sets.)

I wanted to crawl to the locker room - no joke. If I thought I had sweat before boy was I wrong today tops it all. Oddly I feel great right now - I am almost afraid to go to sleep only to find my body unwilling to function in the morning. I will let you know.

Wow these are very cool workouts. I am having fun following them with you. I start my FL program next month and am excited for it.

I wouldn't bother to even look at that trainer at your gym. He is obviously a total loser.

Todays Workout
FLIIB (60s/rest)

WGDL 3 x 12 @ 95 (+5)
T Push Ups 3 x 12 on bench 45*
BSS w/overhead press 1 x 12 @ 8/e, 2 x 12 @5e
Underhand Pulldown 3 x 12 @ 75
RDL w/Bent over row 3 x 12 @ 45 oly (I could have added weight but I had no energy to get weight and put them on the bar...)
Lower body russian twist 3 x 12 @ bw - again I would have like to just lay on the floor the rest of the afternoon.


Okay, normally the second time through a workout I feel stronger like yeah I can do this better than before. Well NOT on this workout - my god I was sweating something feirce and I was pacing around the gym out of breath and not caring who saw me in this state. Just retyping the experience makes me want to lay down on my bed with the cool breeze blowing through the window... ahhh oopps three kids calling gotta run! No time to slow down.

T Push Ups 3 x 10 on bench 45*
BSS w/overhead press 1 x 10 @ 5/e
Underhand Pulldown 3 x 10 @ 75
RDL w/Bent over row 3 x 02 @ 50 (+5)
Lower body russian twist 3 x 12 @ bw

This was a killer after being off and sick for over a week. And starting with B is Brutal! I was sweating something fierce yet again - feels good but I was completely depleated.

Thank you all for the encouraging words - I was feeling pretty low about taking time off!

Nutbar the FL workouts are taking me about 45 min. I workout during my lunch break and only have an hour total, so I have to get er done! LOL But I also have people asking for form help so I dont have a true estimate of time aside from knowing I am back when I should be!

Todays Workout
Fat Loss II A (45 sec)
Front Squat 3 x 10 @70#
W.G. Seated Row 3 x 10 @ 85# (+10)
Supine Hip Ext w/leg curl 3 x 10 @bw
Barbell Shoulder Press 3 x 10 @ 50#
Dynamic Lunges 3 x 10 @ 50# (+10)
Russian Upper Body Twist 3 x 12 @ 9lb Med ball

ouch! - yesterdays workout was a bit much between A and B...
BUT its worth the freaking insane pain (soreness) for the results.
And can I mention again the crystal Light Energy in my PWO shake is sooo helpful. Oh and dont get in my way if I have to walk down stairs - once I get going there is no stopping right now, my legs refuse to stop!

What was I thinking - did I not log this as damaging just on Tuesday?
Cripes I must have been "craving" pain and torture not to be confused with FUN!!

I did this circuit 3 times through.

Y-Squat x 15
PushUp x 15
Body Rows x 15
Side Planks @ 30 sec/each side (last set 15 sec/each)
Lunges x 12/each leg
Jumping Jacks x 60

30 Sec rest then repeat

My obliques are involuntarily twitching...odd, yet dare I say good? What has all this excercise done to me and my thought process?
