SAT- I walked 5 at the beach- fast 2.5 on boardwalk. it was a workout in itself, the peeps on bikes was crazy- sunny and gorgeous, so dodging bikes. 2.5 in the sand on waters edge, playing dodge on the waters edge. I am so so lucky!

 

 

SUN: Legs

2 x 25 roman chair dsit ups

leg extensions 4 x 15 @ 70

can't do my regular squats and luges as my insides are messed up bad..no downward pressure- I feel like my guts will call out

plie squats 4 x 25 w/ 20 # dumbbells

plated leg squats (machine) , thats what it was called i think 4 x 10 @ 140# ( 70 each side)

leg curls 4 x 10 @50 #

butt blaster 3 x 15 @100#

calf extensions- on horiz leg press 4 x 15 w/ 90 on each side...maybe it was 135 on each side

Something! and y food is better. i am out of binge mode, kinda.

tofu, kombucha 9lots), fake meat and soy yogurt. (i put cocoa powder and agave syrup in it, my bad)- but no potatoes, gum drops or rice bars or almond butter- all bad foods for me right now

 

I think, and maybe its me- or if anyone reads this...we (peeps that wok out- and for me its been years...upon years- some more than others, but always SOMETHING- to go to 4 or 5 days a week..and from 85 mins to 45 mins ( or 8 and 10 ,miles to 3 to 4)...we are so so hard on ourselves. I have such a warped , twisted way of thinking I am fat, or a lazy person if I take a day off ( in this case two or three). and its still more than many. I am glad I have it, but I think SpartanDiva eluded to it a bit on a post as well, ...its a "constant"...it nags...somedays I find I measure my self worth on whether or not I did cardio or lifted- which has been a good thing--I wish I could channel that same drive to my career and personal life. Maybe I did...hmmm..time to write a best seller and not dawdle on a forum. I worked out- these were my workout thoughts, and all is good.

part two:

went back in the eve. consciously eating less and better- motivated by so many others here when I read stories, see pics, and video. some amazing committed peeps at this forum. So eating a LOT more protein like i did when i trained for my competition.. Tjoes has a fake meat that is uber high in protein- not doing any protein powder right now as it tears my stomach to pieces , and I still have a soft spot for the organic smooth peanut butter (not even buying almond right now- dangerous, and do you know what you can do with agave syrup, cocoa powder, peanut butter and rice puffs (organic)?(i had a luna today and yesterday was a box of choco drizzle envirokidz bars- almost like candy- quite yum, but a whole box is 720 kcal- and mostly carbs- so, -when I carb- I carb- so amping on protein and I can see the difference.

workout

* Incline press, 3 x 15 w/ 5# on ea side ( my right anterior head of my shoulder is jacked up with all sorts of crinkly noises and a modicum of pain attached) and I used big boy bar

*supine all the good benches were taken w/ a bar, so I did supine bench w/ #15 dumbbells, but its all my right shoulder could bear

*dumbbell fly's 3 x 15 w/ 8- again, my shoulder is screaming!

*1- armed scull crushers 3 x 15 w/ 10#

*dips on cybex- 3 x 10 w/ 45# ea side

*tri ceps pull down 4 x 10 w/ I forgot to look, but Great challenge to self w/ weights- so was the dips

can't do my push ups. My shoulder hurts that bad

Thanks Forklift on the career stuff! It is solid training...I am at a maintenance mode right now--but my mentality screams for, "faster, better, leaner, stronger:.

 

Yes, I use dumbbells. I had a stress fracture years ago on my front left forearm ad have never been able to do the lie down , with a barbell kind I see the really cool, strong people do at the gym since. have tried. So, now, I have cuyt my weights back even more because of my right anterior deltoid. Sucks getting old, but beats the alternative-...whatever that may be.

 

Quite the impressive physique in the avatar.

 

Today- so far-

45 mins on the stair mill- level 16. Its so engrained.

45 Cardio--DONE!

 

damn stuff known as "chicory root"- its INULIN, fiber that does not digest- and causes gas and stomach aches. I got a box of bars from a woman in Canada that is trying to get into US Organic and Natural market- 16 grams of protein for 150 calories. BUT...there is always a catch..that crap is in it. so yumm..I ate three or four and within hours I was bowled over in pain--in bed by 8 pm--UNHEARD of...even being frickin' 50 As age is a number and hotties in their --well, we won't put their age down---kind of kidding-know I don't sleep at 8...anyways, better today--loading my nano and gonna go stair mill. Today is legs- but I have my daughter- so we'll see...its hard on the weekends with her sometimes to get the second workout--and I need cardio more than weights...its mental) I rarely take off time. I have journals going back to college.

But today is a GOOD day. Two phone interviews turned into REAL ones next week. One is GOLDEN--Career, money, etc...the other will be "OK..and I will have flow while i keep my eyes open..and its actually a better fit for my life..I could go back to writing and be "happy" and possibly mend w/ my boys" all the stuff I thin about while working out--thats if I get offers. Manager tools has podcasts on nailing the interviews. the guys are amazing!

what a great young man! my son's age, kind of. very hopeful! We're coming to Jersey to watch you compete. We ate vegan crap! I ran stores in So Cal to see where my prospective employer is on store shelves, etc. I am making mock presentation and I want to show I know my stuff. So, I grabbed him the next day and took him to one of the largest Whoel Foods in So Cal, a really cool 6 store chain where we had lunch, then back to a trendy 4 store chain where the owner is one of the driving forces behind the BIG nonGMO.org movement (it has a cute butterfly or something on it- its all over Whole Foods), our local coop here in San Diego and also a independent Natural store and a hybrid store- research!

 

I did round #2

leg extensions 1 x 10 @55 2 x 10 @ 70

presses on vertical hoist 3 x 10 w/ 115#

leg curls 1 x 10 @70 2 x 10 @ 55 plus

Butt blaster 3x12@100#

AND the best part...25 more cardio on stair mill. I NEED that!
