Hey everyone.  As  we are getting ramped up for the new year I would love to invite all of you to Zumba Saturday at 9 am at Club Fitness Zone.  It is an AWESOME cardio workout- you will sweat and have LOTS OF FUN!  

Your first time is free- feel free to bring any friends.  Looking forward to it, let me know if you have questions.

 McCaulley- I think you should come.. you may meet some chicks ;) 

Layne,

I am so joking.  I enjoy seeing you guys at shows :)  I just wanted to razz you a bit!

Kristin

Sean- still feel like crap... but better than I was yesterday!

Jane- 

What side of town do you live on.  Maybe check Elite.  Not super expensive (same as zone's new prices) a bit more activity and decent machines.

 Good job on the weight drop!

Ha :)  The buns are not steel yet-SOON!  

Mary, I have no idea.  Maybe its feeling strong from actually eating again :) I know I have strong legs/back for my size.  I typically use 5 plates per side but never felt like I was going "balls to the wall".  Suprisingly my legs weren't sore the next day either.  Hmm... 9 plates in my future???

I don't think I got more than 4 reps at that weight but we did a drop set until there were no plates left on the press.  It was great to feel stronger.  My squat only got to 185 (would like to hit 200 before spring). And straight legged deads 135.

I have Nancy in the back of my head saying- don't sacrafice form for weight. I think the word Napoleon even popped up in conversation.  Ha ha!

Here's the thing.  I haven't had a training partner so it is hard for me to go ALL OUT by myself.  I need to find a guy who is strong to be my partner so I can push a little bit harder.  I don't think I know any girls around here (besides Kori who is taken) that I could chase on weight.   

well the ass hasn't shrunk just yet.. working on it..

In a funk- have been sick with flu for the last 3-4 days.  It's really starting to cramp my style.  Anyone have any miracle cures out there??

BTW- fantasy camp was awesome.  I got to leg press with 8 plates (whoo hoo)on each side thanks to the encouragement of Nancy and Jordan.  I felt like dog poo but I made it through the workout.

off to go find some whisky and kill these germs.... gotta get back to the gym.. 

Thanks Mark!

This is the start of my log for 2009 (getting a jump on it)..

I claim to SHRINK MY BIG ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't care how much cardio and low carbs it takes.. By golly I am going to win a pro card in 2009 and get a hard ass!!!!

Lucky- can't wait to train legs with you at camp! 

Pam- I'll let you know how he is :)  Maybe even send you a pic or two!

 About me- I just refrained from eating the 4 dozen Neiman Marcus cookies I just baked for my family- not even a bite :)

BTW- It really helps to read the forums when you are cooking.. 

Chad- I think this is a great post/topic.  I have a feeling that A LOT of people are feeling the same way as you do.  Each one of our struggles are a bit differnt but ultimaltely we "feel" the same way (fat, flat, dissapointed in ourselves).  When this happens its easy to get down- and man it effects your "gym time".

Mary- I think your post was great.  It was the devine revelation/wake your ass up I needed to hear.  I am going to print it out and keep it on my desk and read it over and over today.

For me personally- as I think others.. If I am not writing down my food/tracking my workouts- its so easy to be half ass..

Chad- like Mary said- make a plan :)

ps- i need to try the cover up thing in the gym.. sick of seeing my flabby arms in a tank top. 

Tori- I used CJ also.  She will send you samples as well.  Personally I like the shape of the tops of Vandellas better- but I love my CJ suit.  (could be that my top was just WAY too big for me).  What size are you and color are you looking at?  Thinking about selling my CJ suit if anyone is interested. 

hey Craig- 4 am meet- ick is right.. wow.  See you at camp.  Mary- you should TOTALLY make a cameo- that would be so awesome.. we are all in awe of you.

well- up 9 lbs from contest day.. its killin' me.  getting MUCH stronger and love to eat for energy.  Personal best 150 on leg extensions for 2 sets and 1 set at 140.  Hips have really been hurting while doing squats leg press- so have been going lighter.  Chalking it up to really tight hip flexors.  I started stretching 15 min per day and it seems to be better.

Christmas partys are EVERY night for the next 3 nights- arghhhh.. going to REFRAIN from the goodies and stick with the shrimp coctail.  

Looking forward to seeing everyone at camp.  I keep looking at Goodin's picture on facebook as motivation not to overeat at Christmas.  Craig- I think we are going to Biaggi's for dinner.

Tori- looking forward to meeting you.

Has anyone competed in a fame event?  Just curious- there is a big show in Miami this summer.  If you have- what are your thoughts? 

Kori- I nominate Sean as president of the International OH-BOE Network.

you guys REALLY need to play board games with Sean- HILLARIOUS
