knee bothering me but I think it's because I'm twisting a bit at the knee while in en garde. I don't know why, but I have a real problem with it. I'm thinking it's the extra weight... I really don't feel as in touch with my body, I feel awkward and weird and whatnot... Even moving around in the play has been a weird experience... I'm supposed to be all flirty and junk, just feel bloated and whalish. ah well...

Awwww....you are sooooo cute sittin' there in your avi! I assume that's you? Very cute, indeed! Is there a trend for posting childhood pics of ourselves?
I don't know nuthin 'bout no trend. Just came across it whilst I was clearing out a folder of jumblestuff and said what the heck. If other peeepel are doing it I'll have to switch.
I was like 4... just a bit before I started school, I think, like a few weeks. There's pics of me and my mom too on that same day... wearing the same thing for some reason. I'm not doing that stupid crap to my kids. At least it wasn't something terribly stupid, just a white shirt, but still. LAME! Mother-daughter outfits are almost as lame as dressing twins the same.
Oh yes... I think most all of us can relate to your story friend and the "starting over" thing. I've done it time and again myself. The good news is that with time it does all come back. Hang in there.
Well, saturday and sunday were both a bust, still sore in the arm/shoulder from the accident saturday. I'm gonna see what I can get in for a workout today, maybe a bit of elliptical without arms or something.
Sunday wasn't all nothing, I spent a bit on a really tall ladder pulling down a few theatre lights, and I'll be doing more of that tues and thurs. Hopefully the shoulder will be better, and there's fencing on wed... *sigh*
eating has been ok. only 3 rather small cheats in total: a small bit of cake, some pizza, and last night a bit of bread. Nothing but the pizza was worth it though. eh.
New logs posted and I don't hurt too much typing, so I might get more done today as well as homework and housework and dealing with insurance.
good job getting in there and doing the workout! Just keep pushing forward and suddenly you'll find that things have gone well, and you'll be proud of yourself for not stopping.
I think it's a mix of Gaelic and English, because I don't see the Gaels tacking on an e. Wikipedia seems to indicate the original was claidheamh mòr - Gaelic for great sword.

No "happy hours" makes for a lot of miserable days. - Mahler
I've been at school for 14+ hours a day most of the time, my "workouts" consisting mainly of warmups before rehearsal and climbing ladders to take down, put up, and focus theatre lights.
Opening night was a blast and I'm planning a workout tomorrow during my first bit of break I've had in a while. I'm afraid of doing anything too tough because that'll be hell in heels on stage, but after next week I'm free and can get in better workouts than I have been. That and a good night's sleep would be frickin awsym for a change.
oh, I did my deadlifts and a few other things but don't have with me. and i did some today too. I think it was only 125 pounds, but it's what was on the bar and I could only muster up the energy to pull, not to load. heh.
Deadlift 125x10, db bench 20ex10, db row 20ex12, stair runs 15x2.
I will likely do more later. But I've decided that if I haven't lifted for real the day before, I will do a few single sets of lifts like above. Need to get back into the action, so it's a bit light without being a baby about it.
I've been sitting a lot, and my knee has been bothering me in fencing likely because of a ham/quad imbalance. So I'll be doing more back work... back, hams, glutes... than front ...bench, squat. I've noticed a considerable improvement in fencing since I started making sure I was doing some ham work at least once a week, so it should only get better.
Pretty soon I'll be on the ladder again, and then it's summer. I want my ass ready for a significant size difference come fall, and definitely some massive strength gain.
I'll have to max test again, but I'm thinking that a 200# deadlift 1rm may not be silly for EOY, prolly 175 for fall. hmm...
Fencing class. Actually almost bouting now, which is fun. Still only a minimal workout. Did it outside, which was nice except for the huge amount of pollen everywhere this year giving me a constant headache and making another evening workout impossible.
*sigh*
Gonna go knock out something now, and that'll have to do. Wish my head didn't feel like an explosion was eminent.
I mowed. I have allergies. I spend rest of day trying to breathe.
I mowed with a non-powered mower. It wasn't hard, but it was constant, moderate rate movement for 30 minutes. So... it means if my head doesn't let me get in something else tonite, at least I didn't sit on my ass all day writing a fencing paper.
classes over. a week of finals or portfolios now. been working some, but not logging. did today, will log later. behind on getting a few things done, including werkit requests so I'll hopefully get to that today. I just donno that logging here is really always gonna do the trick or get done. it's an extra step and then I get roped into other stuff because people are interesting and i like to read. so, participation will remain low, workouts are to be ratcheted up a bunch.
I want severe loss in the next couple months before fall semester. too much shit going on to necessarily easily lose during the semester, but I need to not gain, at least maintain. So far I've maintained in the summers and gained during school.
probably a modified velocity diet combined with shittons of work since I have the time off and energy to devote. will work up to a few hours a day working out, at least. lifting, sscardio, intervals, and whatever else comes along. I don't plan on eating a lot, but certainly plenty and I know what my ranges and numbers are after all these years.
I only seem to succeed at a decent pace (which maintains compliance) when I get a bit extreme. maintaining small is easy. getting to small requires more mental toughness than i've been willing to put forth lately.
So, this is one of the few places on the forum I'll be, because this is the only important place. all else is fluff.
to repeat, I suck

and i have plans to do elliptical sprints throughout the rest of the day.
sucked ass.
fucking bullshit.
working on the site, trying to not forget all my spanish for my final tomorrow. sleeping like crap. making new logs. generally relaxed and all, but just crappy today. workouts suck. gonna start going liquid during most the day.
You sounds stressed out. School is almost done right? You'll get back on track once your stress is lessened. It will take some time too...patience. Good luck w/your finals and such.
On the bright side, I've fixed the knee pain, it seems. The extra posterior work whilst laying off the quads seem to have done the trick. And, of course, my vibrams.
done tomorrow. I'm good. Need to work on my final lighting design project.
