what a fabulous day so far. i hope you're all having a good sunday also.
JEC - sooo good to see you !! i miss you around here. i guess we'll just have to be patient till we get you back, huh?
Mel - the glutamine gives me horrible headaches and i have to be super careful because they are hormone-induced headaches. that means that the glutamine, in a higher does, is messing a bit with my already messed up hormonal system. as long as i keep it at the low 5grams per say, then i'm okay. it's really working wonders on my post-workout recovery.
Mamawren - Mel is right ! don't give up or let this get you down. i was flabby for the past two weeks, i mean kind of like i was at the beginning of C1 almost 6 months ago. but i just kept working through it, doing weights even harder and i can see such a difference today ! it all seemed to just tighten up a LOT ! now, don't get me wrong, i'm still big, but that strange squishy feeling is gone, for now.
BethO - you and DH just keep moving forward !!!!!
Shelby - i hope that your son is much better. poor kid. i hear ya on the leap across rooms to save the floor from damnation when they barf like that !!!
yuck !!
Valerie - i don't do much of anything in life before i have a good solid breakfast. i would become totally homicidal if i were to go workout on an empty stomach. i actually workout after two meals have been properly prepared and consumed (i wait one hour after meal #2 before hitting the gym though). and then i eat about 1/2 hour after my workout - 1 hour after spinning. you;ll just have to keep experimenting and see what works best for you. good luck
oh, by the way, i've had great results till now with my *method*.
Lana - how's it going sweetie ?? hope all is well with you and the beautiful family !!
Karen - what's up Fearless Leader? i miss you a whole bunch !!!
i had a great UBWO today. i even did some *assisted* push-ups at the end of the w/o. i placed the bar on the Smith machine about 2 feet up from the floor and did 25 push-ups from there. the last 5 almost killed me ! but i'm soooo glad i did it. i want to work my way up to 10 regular push-ups, just like the big kids do
i then did 10 minutes on that pesky stairstepper. it looks so innocent, doesn't it?
tonight is SPINNING and we all know how happy that makes this gym rat.
have a great day everyone.
take care,
adriana
