steffapeppa40 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 8-10-09 moves Having lower back issues-maybe from sleeping on crappy camp mattress w/a slow leak or soft sofa as bed is being repaired. Sharp stabbing pains going down to the right side. Luckily I'll be sleeping back in the sack tonight!!!! Jeez-I lose the pain in my thigh, then I get this present. Oh well, I'm going to move through it.... Back and Biceps-holy bayou batman-it was hotter than it has ever been! I almost hyperventilated at one point. Going outside hardly helped as it was muggy and still. Using the new weights were good except for one thing: the handles collected the moisture and EVERYTHING felt slippery. I still did the same on some exercises- sometimes with a struggle and then I did improve on many too. Thank you, body.I'll type it out from my worksheets when I get to week 12 so the change will really be more dramatic I guess you could say. Gets tedious every week especially because I don't know the proper way to do it as a list. BTW, this is week 7. The most notable was being able to do the last exercise, "Strip Set Curls" where you are supposed to have 4 different sets of weights---and do a set of 8 on each.I only had the 15's and 10's weights so the last few times I did 8 @ 15lb then 3 sets of 8 @ 10lb. Didn't love that. Now that I have the 1/2 sizes, I did8@158 @12.58@10[email protected] Ab Ripper---not so bad considering feeling extra zapped from the environment.

steffapeppa40 Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 how's the wine consumption lately?I just bought a riesling from Alsace yesterday. It's chilling as I type this Sounds nice---but according to my notes here...not since the 6th when I polished off that last bottle. When it's aroundit's hard to resist....and I have resisted buying more. It helps that the liquor store that I can walk to is a bit expensive.

steffapeppa40 Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 8-12-09 moves Legs and Back--- going solo tonight. M had to work and go to a meeting late. Feeling pretty good all-around. Improved on assisted pull-ups of different varieties. Many of the exercisesdo not require weights, but I did improve on one that did, Calf Raises. I had used 10 lbs since the beginning and I did fine with the 12.5 lbs. You do 15 slow raises onto your toes with your feet pointed outwards, then 10 fast....repeat with feet parallel.....repeat with feet pointed inward. That's the deal. Ab Ripper---still hate it, but I notice it is going a little bit faster now....a little bit.
