Sorry I missed this for so long. Speaking of Shape. I often toyed with the idea of doing a year of MF workouts or something like that just to see how either totally awesome or totaly deformed I would be. Now I'm committed to be a bro, that's a big can do bra.
If you got deformed you could sue them. So therefore you need to try it.

Yes. One set with the left elevated and one set with the right.
The DB rows aren't as bad for me as the leg curls are. It's too easy with both legs so I'm doing one, and boy those feel like fire.
And to all of you who have gotten a facebook fan page invitation and haven't accepted; fuck you.

Today I did the stuff that was prescribed in the book (It's midnight, I can't fucking remember) ran three miles and then played outside for a few minutes with the dog before it rained.
And I ate popcorn and a milkshake tonight.
Food is good.
The end.
And I'm running in a 5K Saturday morning. It could be disastrous.

I literally have dreams of doing pull-ups and chin-ups. In my dreams I am going up and down with such ease and amazed at how far I have come --- then I wake up. What really sucks is that when I was a little girl, I could do them.
Oh well, maybe one day??? I would have to loose a some weight first.

I was fat as a little kid, so I couldn't do them until I was about 17 or so. I just want to be able to do more than two sets of six before dying.

Finished worse than I wanted to though with a 28:25. Basically the first half of the course was uphill, which made it nice coming back to the finish line, but killed my pace apparently. I was on an 8 minute pace after mile one and I didn't feel like I had fallen off that much, and I know that I ran real well in the final downhill mile, so I must have really tailed off in the uphill middle mile.
I didn't get passed in the final half of the race, which speaks to the competition more than myself. (It was for a scholarship fund in memory of two HS classmates, so it wasn't a competitive event.)

For the two of you that read the stuff I did over at FLZine this spring, I've decided to take it to my own spot. The link is here or in my signature. I was going through fitness bashing withdrawals.

you have to have the http:// for some reason when you hyperlink things without a www. on the address. It's weird, but should be working now.

srsly
i read my feeds on my touch and yours constantly come up empty, no sub no body, but it's like I was sent nothing, not that I'm not getting your feed. And I can click through to open the article in safari just fine.
bizarre.
I am still fat, albeit not as much thanks to not eating at all this week. Going to go to the gym tomorrow, as I haven't worked out since the last recorded workout. Well, there's been two workouts since then apparently. I don't know. Life was a bitch.
I just know that I'm done with the first three weeks and this was to be week four. So next week will be week four, and we'll just call this last week an unplanned panic week.

what sort of degree did you get or are you getting from college?
I was considering studying for awhile and getting a CSCS, but wasn't sure if it's possible without a good background in the stuff?
newspaper journalism
score one for foresight!
I first should be upfront and admit that I've been lazy in studying for the CSCS so I haven't hardly opened the book in a month.
But the hardest part for me is the sciencey stuff. I have a good knowledge base in layman's terms, but not taking physiology--or any science class for that matter--since senior year of high school is/was kicking me in the butt.
I need to step up the studying because I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with the holding pattern that my career path is in. Both of my part time jobs have no upward mobility involved and I need something that I can be doing a year from now--hell, even six months--and actually be proud of.
So if I actually put my mind to it, I imagine that I could pass the test by the end of July.
(I'd say that you'd need 6-8 weeks of studying, and by that, maybe only 15-20 hours a week of studying.)

Hey, i know all about foresight. I wish i would have waited a year or so before entering college until i really had some time to decide what i wanted to do.
how much are the study materials? Any place to get them used? I know they switched to new textbooks recently.
I suppose i could always go and take a class at my college again and/or go and get a textbook off amazon and teach myself the sciency stuff if i need it.

I got the book for free, and the study materials were about $100 or so. Make sure to get the membership because it pays for itself after the study prep and the test cost.
I looked at a class, which probably would have prepared me very well, but it was for the WITS cert and I figured I'd rather get the CSCS myself.
If you put your mind to it, you can do it, it's just a matter of setting the time aside to do it.

This workout is awesome. It's hard and it's pretty fun too. Probably could have gone up 10 lbs or so on the RDLs, but hadn't done them in a while, so I wanted to err a bit conservatively. The rotations were a bit odd, but were easier to pick up than I thought they would be. The 30 second rests seem shorter with lower reps, but also, I hadn't done anything in a week.
And I have poison ivy from head to toe--yeah, even some there--from the dog search/holding him after we found him. It is not fun.

There's no doubt now that he's back to normal. Dad catches squirrels (yeah, I know... he puts the traps around the apple trees) and when we were out playing soccer after I got home yesterday Toby got distracted because he discovered a squirrel in the trap.
He was freaking mesmerized for about 15 minutes, and just wanted to watch the squirrel, so Dad came outside and wanted to move the trap but he had to take it back to the house because that was probably the only way we could un-forcibly get Toby back to the house.
He carries the trap to the house, and the whole time he does, Toby is jumping to try to get the trap out of his hands. So Dad puts it on top of the clothesline at one of the poles--about 6' 6''--and Toby on his second jump gets his face to touch the trap. Not joking. It was incredible.

Did Workout B on Wednesday, which, from memory, included Split Squats, DB Alternating Presses, Leg Curls and One Arm One Leg Rows. Basically just a reprise of the first three weeks with a completely new circuit.
Have been working early AM to late PM the last three days, so there's hasn't been any workout time. Diet was pretty poor, but the quantities weren't bad either--except for the beer on Thursday night--so the mirror doesn't look horrible. Back to normal today though.
