STONES and carbohydrates :D

Awesome morning!!!!!

Yesterday my boyfriend and I made the decision to kick this low-cal, not being allowed to train BS diet thing to the curb...we figured 29 days of starvation was ENOUGH!

So...sushi for dinner :) a bottle of wine :) and for breakfast this morning before training - oatmeal with dried cherries and a little smart balance and sugar free syrup. YUMMMMY. too lazy to make eggs , so I had a shake ;) but it was heaven. My energy has been through the roof all day, I am smiling and moving at 2xnormal speed, lol.

This morning I had my best stone training ever :D

174lb stone, over the bar for 3 sets of 3 :D this is big for me. I have only ever gotten it over the bar once before. I just started stone training..had picked one up once before nationals *embarrassing* but we hatched our 174lb stone a week before nationals..and Mike's smallest stone is 240..so. Anyhow - now that I am more confident, I am sure I will make good progress.

We plan to make a 200lb stone this week. ;)

Tomorrow we are doing two more events , most likely farmers walk and tire or yoke.

Just finished pizza for lunch :0 tomorrow I go onto clean eating, moderate carbs ;) still plan on leaning out and getting down to middle weight, just not through the drastic measures anymore!

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Legs..light

Squats - 3 sets of 3 with 2oo if you can't work heavy...work depth ;)

Seated calf raise 2 sets 20

Band walk, lateral (oh my glutes) 2 sets 20 each way

Nice little workout...

Event stuff this weekend ;)

Tuesday - Pressing

Did Overhead Presses 5 sets of 3, not maximal weight..100X3, 105X3, 110X3, 115X3, 120X3

Felt good, strong, good on lockout.

Incline bench 5 sets of 2, not max wt 135X2 all sets...

Can't wait to get really working out again...

Light legs tonight..3X3 squats at 90%, some band stuff and calf raises. sigh. Better than NO workout...but chomping at the bit watching a friend train for her first bodybuilding show...

Yoke..

yesterday i was allowed to pick one of the events the guys were doing and join in. I had my choice of farmer's walk, yoke or tire flip.. I had spent the morning doing body composition on 70 Biggest loser contestants..so my left hand was pretty fried from using the calipers.. so I chose yoke.

We did fairly light - our yoke plus 180, so close to 300lbs. I worked on speed and did 3 runs down and back. Felt good to move!

We need to re-mark the street so we can train specific distances, our old marks washed away...

Weight is dropping... depressed by not working out as much.. hoping this week I will be allowed to train ;)

Sigh

Dropping weight..down 12 lbs real wt, 20lbs if you include the inflated scale weight after the 3 days of calorie loading..

My workouts got taken away for a while..sucks ass.

I think in a few days I will be "allowed" to train again..just waiting it out................

Bored and a little depressed, but its good to see some definition coming back, so its a mixed bag...

Last workout of the year!

Still reduced workload..so it felt kind of like a warm-up...but it was good to pull and move..

Deadlifts straight bar 5 sets X3 reps 75% 1RM

Incline Bench Press 5 sets X3 reps 75% 1RM

forgot my ipod..hate that, it means every old guy in the gym needs to comment on how much weight I am using..and then some guy insisted on helping me take the plates off when I was done..lol. I think if I can lift them all together, i can put them away one at a time without injury....

We went to a couple New Year's Eve parties.. had a whopping two drinks and a few appetizers..banging headache today, lol. Stuff really knocks you on your ass when you don't do it anymore!

I am feeling incredibly motivated today for the coming year. :)

Happy New Year!
