Thanks ladies.

Tori, that's per my Polar.   Do you test your resting heart rate?  Mine is very low.  It seemed like a lot to me as well, but I asked my Polar rep and he said that it was where it's supposed to be based on my hr and muscle mass.  Who knows?

Great workout, Julie! I wish I could do 20 r push ups. I believe I can go to 12 or 15.

Strrrrong woman!

cool just wondrin

Hey Patti, post up the picts from Thurs when you get a chance.  Have fun at the lake!

Thanks!

I have not posted mine yet.  Hubby just got back with the camera a few hours ago.  Will try after the bbq.

Patti took some posing picts on Thurs, but I don't think she's posted them yet.  Those will be my most recent.  I'll try to get some up this weekend.

The shoulder is good to go. 

Tori,

Yes you heard me......pathetic.  I'm still upset about it over here. 

"Well....thats...pretty pretty pretty pretty good"

I downed a season in two days this week

Two seasons down a bunch more to go. I love the stuff.

Ok, I want to know why you burn so many more calories than I do?  My bike today was 53 min, ave hrt 139 and I only burned 355 calories according to my Polar heart rate monitor.  Are you getting your info from the heart rate monitor or someplace else?  I want the same info as you.  My treadmill says I burn waaay more calories than the watch does, too. 

Nice workout, btw.  ;-)

20 weeks ago?  You are doing absolutely amazing!  That is a long time without a slip up.  I'm hoping the lower carbs kick in and I drop some mega weight the next 2 weeks.  My vacation is coming up and I won't be weighing and measuring food so I need to be on schedule. 

Be good to yourself Wayne and be careful with that shoulder. Hopefully it is all good.

First it was Craig with his foot. Must be something in the summer air that makes people want to go for broke. I went for it in squats today while the supervisor in the gym was talking to me about how you should go light on squats. I told him that I am now ignoring him and turned my ipod on. I made a PR of 275 for 2 which is great for me. I am finally squatting more that my blubberous bodyweight.

430 is pretty close to your goal (440 right?). 

I watch it all the time.  Excellent show! 

I like you more than Russ now.

Oh btw since you like Seinfeld so much...you watched much Curb Your Enthusiasm? Larry David the Head Producer of Seinfeld is the main character of the show...its great you'd probably love it

Lucas,

Sean will understand. 

"like a half a gay" ?????

ok

whoa whoa did i say i was self conscious? NOPE

Thats fine Shellie, for sure! Just lemme know if you can get off.

SS.....ok haha...ta-tas.....ha...

Damn thats alot of dough....it was really nice.

To bad I was only like a 190 pounds there.  I look like a half a gay(no offense Lucas)!  I'm much larger and even more in charge now....what? 

The camera if pretty funny, but I need to learn how to balance something really big on my chest.  Like a frickin canoe, like that dude on David Letterman.  Some moron balanced a canoe on his chin, on Letterman's stupid human tricks. 

Yep........shoulder is still poping.........hummmm

Lucas,

I don't think your parents want to spend that much money on their equipment.  Icarian/Precor commercial grade equipment is exspensive.  But if you want it, I will definately sell it to you.  That Hack Squat you got owned on runs right at 2k. 

Everyone Besides Lucas,

Here is my pathetic workout from this morning. 

1.) Rack presses - 315 x 2, 365 x 1, 415 x 1, 430 x 1......way to heavy

2.) Military rack presses - 135 x 4, 185 x 1, 225 x 1,

     240 x 1, 250 x 1

3.) Decline Skullcrushers with ez curl bar -

    45's each side x 8 x 2, 45's and a 10/side x 8

4.) Incline Cable Flys - 60 x 10 x 3

5.) Lateral DB raises - 35's x 10 x 3

6.) Rope pushdowns - 120 x 10, 140 x 8 x 2

My shoulder is poping now like something is messed up.  I'm sure it will be fine.   

No worries Tori,

I had a day like that on my eighth week, just ate a pound of cherry sours then finished it off with a box of kraft dinner mac and cheese. Finished at 210/668/56 on macros of 250/350/40 (luckily it was a high carb day). Just a little bit over! Took a couple of days to get over the guilt but Joe didn't change my program at all. It happens.

I think I had some great workouts on the days after. lots of glycogen!

I also think I lost weight that week.

Holy geez, that was 20 weeks ago.

I think you'll find you will bounce back stronger than ever. 

Ok, Patti. I need to get off like 5 lbs this week, today to be back on schedule from this plateau I've hit.  What do I need to do?  What are your macros right now anyway?  You rock!!!

Lol...Lucas are you feeling self conscious?  Don't you want Shellie to see your bum?  She's already tanned Joan Lopez's ta-tas.  She can handle you.  (just teasing you)

You guys just make me want to....hit my head against a wall.  You eat more than me and still lose weight and you're half my size!  It's not fair.  I'm happy for ya, but damn, it's just not fair, I tell ya.   Enjoy your days off, you have definitely earned them.
