yeah for you!!! great job joining!

dillytl · 01-08-2008, 11:56 AM

Great first workout! Welcome to the challenge!

LisaS · 01-08-2008, 05:17 PM

thanks all.

what kills me about this is that I have ignored one of the prime directives of the military "don't pay for the same ground twice" ... I lost 60+ lbs in 2006 and instead of continuing to goal in 2007 I managed to put back 30-some. cripes.

that said, I haven't eaten enough today. But, I found a can of G'day Tuna Gourmet (mild Indian curry) in my desk drawer so will go have that as a snack.

Go for it, Lisa! Accomplish some great things in the challenge!

LisaS · 01-09-2008, 11:42 PM

NROL4W Stage 1 B#1 2x15 except last 2x8

DL: 55, 55

did the superset pairs wrong - here is what I did:

Wide Grip Pulldowns: 70,70
Lunges*: BW, BW

DB Press: 15,10
Ball Crunch: BW, BW

*actual alternating lunges - about 3. Too much pain (DOMS from Monday) to continue with good form. Substituted 2x20 BW squats. Still hurt. Sets were more like 12+3+3+2

hi Tina - its nice to be doing something to post about instead of "who the f cares - I'm gonna take a nap"

L'ilJ · 01-10-2008, 06:16 PM

Hey Lisa...good to see you kicking some ass again. Best of luck in the challenge!

LisaS · 01-10-2008, 06:18 PM

thanks Jill - goodness knows there's plenty to kick

stingo · 01-10-2008, 06:52 PM

C'mon Lisa - you're getting the workouts in - give yourself some credit

LisaS · 01-10-2008, 07:00 PM

no credit - cash up front only.

kfisherx · 01-10-2008, 07:09 PM

Congrats Lisa on kick'n it back up again. It doesn't matter that this is round 2, it only matters that you are on the path again. Looking forward to watching you shrink.

I've done 2 B workouts, and on the 2nd one I did the DB Press with the lunges and the Wide Grip pulldowns with crunches on bench (don't have ball @ home).

Any way, I separated the 2 because my R shoulder was "burning" (not hurting) and I thought it didn't want to do press/pull in same set. I liked the workout better this way. I'll try it in the proper order the next time, however, if it's better to me the 2nd way that's how I'll finish the stage.

I know exactly what you're saying...Keep rocking girl!!!

Victoria · 01-11-2008, 08:07 AM

Don't sweat the switcheroo in the workout. It was impressive, regardless! Onward and upward!

NROL4W - Stage 1 - WO# A2 -
all 2x15 except jackknifes 2x8

Back Squat: 55, 55/11 45/4
PushUp*: BW, BW
Seated Row: 70, 70

Jackknives**: 8,8

finisher: 20 min brisk walk

*pushup variation: ~45 degree (used #8 (-1) on squat rack with bar)

notes: noticed the adductors less on the squats - maybe not as wide or maybe just better. less out of breath on step ups.

eats:
Made Chicken Piccata tonight - first time I've used those techniques - the chicken was very tender and moist. I'll do cutlets with a pan sauce like that again soon.

note to self: if the saute pan has been in the 450 degree oven for 10 mins and only sitting out on the stove for less than 5 mins - don't grab the handle to shove it to the back burner. You'll burn all your finger tips and some of your palm. Owie.
