Yep.. He is a great partner. He is on time and we blasted our session out quick. He is too nice, doesn't let me load/unload plates.. He says he doesn't want me to break a nail LOL. He knows that I can handle it, he is not being a wise guy, just knows nails mean cashola..

I am gonna try and take some pics later. I took a few about 2 weeks ago and was like "Yuck". My diet too has been a friggin mess.. I had 1 donut and a cup of coffee yesterday all day till din din. But I am shedding the pounds. Stress @ work will hit the metabolism..

Didn’t get to hit anymore more Bis, since it was late and I had to run to pick up Kaila @ daycare. Working out with these fellas is kicking my butt. My chest is pretty sore today… Bis not too bad. I am the only one out of the 3 that isn’t chit chatting with everyone @ the gym. I feel like I am on the Sopranos with these 2

The best way to progress with anything is to surround yourself with the best.

I learned to play basketball this way, I only played against the best and it helped raised my level of play. If I wasnt an idiot, I could have played when I was in college

The point I am making is, you will only get better, if you surround yourself with better people

Thurs: 2/1

Spin class.. 45 minutes (made J get on the bike with me).. It was a good class, mostly all incline intervals, with our tushs off the seat.. GRRR my quads are burnt and I am doing legs/shoulders tonight. John did good and he made it thru the class. You know you big guys don't like too much cardio, LOL.

I am still sore from my chest workout from Tuesday. Oh my gosh, I can't even stretch...

I am thinking of getting a tattoo. The fellas are trying to really get me into the circle of friends, they are so great for little ole me.

I am thinking of a portrait of my daughter, but where to plant it so it won't be too visible for the corporate world. Maybe on one of my cheeks, LOL so only VIP get to see..

Aight cats, have a good weekend and workout!

Last night, I went to the gym and took Kaila with me. Her first time with a new sitter @ the daycare there. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

She was not a having it.. Had to tell the fellas to do legs without me and I took the little cuban princess home.

Got home and grabbed a pass for Gold's by my house. I took a 9pm spin class..That was not a great idea, as it gave me my 3rd wind of the day and I couldn't hit the pillow till almost midnight... and have been up since 4:30am.

But it was a good workout.. The class was real intense.

I will just have to makeup legs on Friday without the guys.

I can't believe I missed all the drama in this thread.

Wow

Yep, thats what I said to the big guy.. We fixed it.. its back to the 3 of us.. Usually I start off the sets and then when we are down to the last round, John gets me started on the next exercise, so its working out..

We are back to the 3 amigos Klan....

[Shredder]

Dang girl, you are not afraid of hitting it hard. Nice log. I guess I'll start mine now.

Thurs 2/8:
Chest:

Seated Incline Press:
4 sets, 45 pd plates, 8 reps

Flat bench press:
2 sets, 25 pound plates, 10 reps
2 sets, 30 pd plates, 10 reps

Lever Chest dip (leaning on machine with feet on the floor)
4 sets, 100 pd, 10 reps

Cable crossovers:
2 sets, 20 pounds, 10 reps

Dumbbell flies:
2 sets, 15 pds, 10 reps

J has no shame for me and just pushes me.. We have upped the weight since last chest session and you know its not too bad. I could do most of it on my own but the incline @ 45 pd plates was a little bit tough by the 5-6th rep...Johnny gave me the spot.

I really enjoy working out with the fellas, they are good at keeping me on track...

Tonight is Back/traps... wish me luck

[Bodymass]

Looking good there.

45 pound plates on the incline? That's getting scary. I'll have to watch my back.
