Oh good. I hope you do post your eating plan and work-outs. I'll check out your gym log here.

There are 2 exercises I hate, but have to do occasionally.....squats and lunges. But like you say.....there are so many exercises you can do for each muscle group, there's no need in doing something you don't like. You look much more forward to working out when you're doing things you like.

I've been out of town for a couple of weeks so it'll take me a few days to get back to my routine. But I will.....when I'm doing it, I love it, any little thing that comes up, throws me off plan, and I have to deal with getting started over again. Fortunately experience has taught me, it doesn't take long to get back on track.

Best of success to you too.

Here is the macros for yesterday Deb.

I will also go over to the other forum and copy and paste what Rad has set in place for me.
It seems to be working. After about 2 weeks we may lower the calories and he is going to do a refeed too.
I'll keep posting what I am doing.
Good Luck to you girl. And me toooooo!

Looks like a great bodybuilders diet!! And I'm also very impressed with how quickly you've increased weight on your squats and lunges. I don't use any weight on lunges....I hate them enough with just my body weight. And I stopped trying to increase my squat weight. I'll stay at 135 unless it just gets ridiculously easy...... Doing full squats with that much weight puts a lot of strain on the ole' "engine"..... .
My motto at this stage of the game is: "Get the results I want by doing as little as possible." I've lost the vanity issues with age. Now just being 50 and still lifting is impressive enough.

I look forward to following your progress. I'm glad you took new pictures at the beginning of your new plan. It'll make seeing the progress much more interesting.

I don't remember the dates on these so they are in the order that they were taken first to last.

This one is of my husband. He has to lift the weights to my shoulders so he is defining better than me! No Fair!!!

The pictures that I was trying to get in this post were of my husband. I don't know why they did not download, but its no biggie.
I will post more of me in a month.
HOPEFULLY AT THAT TIME I WILL BE AT GOAL. RIGHT NOW I AM AT 156 SO THE WEIGHT IS DROPPING AT A NICE PACE. I WAS JUMPING FROM 157 TO 160 OVER THE PAST MONTH BUT NOW THE WEIGHT IS GOING DOWN, FINALLY!!!

Hi Brenda,
It might be just me, but the pictures in 2 of your posts (post 186 & post 187)-are just X's instead of pictures.....

But, all your pictures turned out fine in post 185..and I have to say -you LOOK GREAT!!!!
I can definetly see the muscles in your legs!!!

I'm really proud of you, I think your doing a wonderful job lifting weights!!

You are right they are I will fix them.

I am again going to try to get my workouts and what I eat in my gym log here daily. I am on a cutting diet now, and the workouts are going in the same direction. To cut, not bulk.
Here is my workout today:

T-Bar Rows~100/6, 100/6, 100/5

Dead Lifts (Stiff Leg)~ 100/10, 100/10, 100/8

Dumbbell Rows~ 30/10, 30/10, 30/10

Shrugs~ 100/10, 100/10, 100/10

Towel Rows~ 75/10, 75/10, 75/10

Wide Grip Lat Pull Downs~ 50/10, 50/10, 50/10

I also walked a total of 5 miles today.

The eating was not very good this past weekend, the meds I am taking are making me not eat. Through the next week I am forcing myself to eat to prevent my body from going into starvation mode.
That's it for the workout and eating tonight. Tommorrow is Chest day, and the diet will be right on!!
