i just got in from a great walk!! im not sure exactly, but im positive it was at least 1.75 miles!! i walked at a nice slow pace the first quarter mile, then i picked it up for at least a mile and a quarter, then back down to a slower pace for the last quarter mile. i feel GREAT!!

FEB 10....ok...ok....so its been , like, over a month since i actually posted in here!! im so sorry!! gawd i really let myself off the hook didnt i? ok...ok...but no bs, i was exercising in between the GIANT LULL in here....but for the last few weeks honestly i havent been doing much of anything, so i guess that pretty much explains the total lack of stuff on these pages.....oooops.....ok...it could also explain why i have stopped losing weight lately...like 2 weeks straight my weight has lingered right in the 242-239 area....and even at night its been known to be between 245-239...so i dunno....i do know im trying to stay away from the scale right now....and i will only weigh myself in a case of extreme curiosity......hahahaha




ok heres my upper body workout, using 20 pound barbell on all

chest: bench press, 12,10,8,6,12
incline press,12
shoulders: behind neck press, 12,10,8,6,12
military press:12
back: bent over rows:12,10,8,6,12
pullovers:12
biceps: curls,12,10,8,6,12
reverse curls 12
triceps: triceps press,12,10,8,6,12
triceps extention,12

the biceps were a bitch today and come to think of it so were the shoulders....ugh...im considering buying one of those walking tapes to do here in the house every other day....gotta wait till dh gets paid but it would be good i think!

Holy..super workout! Did you ever try lifting the pyramid style..like 12 times with 10 pounds..then 10 times with 12 pounds...8 times with 15 pounds..6 with 20 pounds back to 12 and 12 with 15?
