Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

never mess with a ninja blender blade...3 stitches and can not get it wet for 24 hours than i can take this wrapping off and just wear a bandaid...I might have to dig out the bands for the next couple weeks for resistance training..at least i got my chest and biceps done before the ninja got me...

I am going to have to take a week off from the lifting part of my workouts unless i can get a good grip i dunno,tried lifting a dumbbell and it was a no go, finger is swollen from where they injected the the stuff that numbed the finger so they could stitch it, so i am still not sure if i will be able to get a good grip even the swelling comes down.because i ain't suppose to be smacking my finger on anything ..grrr tried the bands and it hurt my finger, only thing that didn't bother it to much was a kettlebell but that is only like 20 pounds ( i do have two of them)..probably just do 3-4 all body thing or something..i dunno

tomorrow is my day off so i will figure things out, contact Michelle and see what she thinks...

I'm so sorry to hear about your finger, Jesse. Just do what you can. But if you have to, lay off the weight training and get in as much cardio as you can this week.

Your weight is still steadily dropping. Yay!! Be patient and keep at it. You didn't put on the extra weight in a few weeks; so it won't all come off (permanently) that quickly. You're doing great! Keep it up! : )

I'll take a look at things more closely and send you an email shortly.

Since the eliptical seems to be working okay for you, try doing intervals on it now (HIIT).
