lobsteriffic Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yeah, if I insist on being such a wuss with the cold then I suppose I had best be doing more of those things! I have some old weights down in the basement some where as well. Hopefully this cold snap goes away soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsteriffic Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 That's cute. And creepy. I like it. I had an IUD inserted yesterday...not going to lie....I was in a lot of pain afterward. Spent the day on the couch barely moving. Still hurting today, but not nearly as much. The good news is that I'm no longer on hormonal birth control and that makes me happy. I didn't realize how much November's crazy comps time affected me...I have been sleeping a LOT. Recuperating from all of those nights with insomnia I suppose. I leave for the holidays fairly soon so I am trying to get organized for that. There's a gym in my parents' town that I am going to see about buying a temporary pass for...it's not the greatest, but it has some weights (mostly machines) and some cardio equipment.

Vegan Joe Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I talked my wife out of taking the pill over 30 years ago. Used other methods, well 4 kids later. LOL. I knew They were bad for women, I mean it doesn't take a scientist to come to that conclusion. That's good for you. Now tell you hubby you've got to get rid of the IUD LOL. Have fun on you Holiday!

lobsteriffic Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Training and diet have sucked. I'm leaving in a couple of days. In a way I'm really looking forward to January. I love new years and making up a list of goals and what-not. It's like starting with a fresh slate. I dig that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 u can still set a goal for 2009 to reach by the end of the year. I am already thinking about 2010 goals too. enjoy your holiday time away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 That would be hard...I'm going to be in a car travelling and I have so much to do in the next 2 days before I leave I don't have much gym time. So I don't know what kind of lofty goal I'm going to achieve. But yay 2010! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsteriffic Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Alright so we arrived back yesterday...had a really relaxing trip. I went to the local town gym a few times the first week I was home...not much there, did some time on the treadmill, played with a few dumbbells....the second week I was traveling around more and didn't make it in. Back to the gym tomorrow morning. After 2 weeks going first thing in the morning is going to be hard. Ugh. Going grocery shopping later today...not much food in the house. I need to stock up on fresh fruits and veggies...have a bit of Christmas pudge to get rid of and I'm looking forward to eating more greens...I feel kind of sluggish from too much starch and booze. Hope everyone else had a great holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalasvegans Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 how come you didn't rest your legs a day or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 I didn't do any lower body stuff on Tuesday. So Monday squats, Tuesday just did cardio, Wednesday did leg press. I usually go lighter on Wednesdays on the leg press and heavier on Monday for the squats. My schedule is all messed up right now because of the stupid pool being closed. Grr.

vivalasvegans Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 oh sorry i misread that. i never know how long to rest when i have serious hardcore DOMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcKiera Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 oh sorry i misread that. i never know how long to rest when i have serious hardcore DOMS. Until you're no longer in pain? I'm no expert but it would seem a bit unproductive to me to damage your muscles while they are trying to repair themselves. Bit of a burn or what have ya, yeah sure, but being in agony already on your first lift would seem a bit counter productive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 it's not usually agony during the actual lifting itself. but you know how sometimes you go to the weights and you feel really strong, and some days you start and it feels like you couldn't lift a feather? it's more like that for me.

Vegan Joe Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) My schedule is all messed up right now because of the stupid pool being closed.

lobsteriffic Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Thursday, January 7th: Legs still a bit sore. Read online that light cardio can help with DOMS so that's what I did. 5 min. warm-up20 min. slow jog5 min. cool down abs and stretching I don't know why I was so hungry today...probably because it's ridiculously cold. Ate way too much. Probably because it was so cold out...felt really hungry.
