I'm there, but still not "best effort"...or its just me..

can't make your best effort all the time. Just important that you got there. More than most can say. Feel better

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!

Something is better than nothing.

I finally have a handle on things...3 interviews this week, and two are solid career ventures with a jump...so all good. Was going to do a 2nd workout but i have a splitting headache.

Hope your noggin' feels better. Had fun on our Vegan adventure! And again, good luck on your interview.

Thanks Yeti. Twas fun. Headed to Hillcret here in a bit...need to check the product for my 5 PM interview as well. I like to be prepared! I still have the headache...but not as bad.
1 hour cardio, level 16 on stair mill..20 mins x 3:

fat burn
interval
I may go back later and do moderate weights and more cardio
tired of being F-ing fat (for me)--its all relative

I'm jealous you two got to hang out!

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!

upped the cardio,moderate carbs...and I am seeing mega difference. taking time off from upper body altogether to heal my right shoulder and my abs/ intestines are feeling relief from no sit ups, lunges or heavy squats. working within modifications...grrr...but love what my cardio does. I look leaner...happier

Today wa 30 mins..blood sugar plummeted while stairmilling. No 2nd workout today due to time.
