[jspirate]

M24B, I have a confession... While browsing your journal all of the sudden that song from Right Said Fred "I'm too sexy for my shirt" popped into my head. I am not sure if you remember it...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipZDG6__Zfc

I am not saying that I myself am too sexy for my shirt, but rather...

Ok, I am going to leave now... :o

:D

[mom24boys]

LOL know i remember why I like pirates ;) thanks.

Just finished a 300 cal burn on the elliptical.Took just under 30 min. Started at 1 resistance and went up 1 every 5 min and went backwards at the end of every 5 min for 1 min.(Can ya tell I get bored easily):D Only one kinda cardio can keep me interested for that long and its not on the elliptical http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q195/lisabethr/whistling2.gif

Happy HuMp eve :)

[ChocoChick]

I get bored during cardio, too. Must be why I never do it! But you're making me feel inspired/guilty, so I might do some tomorrow. :)

You have mail...

[MarkY]

Hi Lisa:
I've been doing a lot more cardio lately and it bores the hell out of me. My does 40 minutes of cardio 4 times a week, but she has an iPod and listens to music and audio books.

She keeps telling me to get one. Damn near everyone in the gym has one.

Keep up the good workouts, hope your little ones are better.

[mom24boys]

Yep Mark i couldnt do any with out my mp3....it drowns out the kids too :)
and ouch i have some delayed doms from yesterday

[justtryn]

Hi mom! Glad to hear you have DOMS!! :D

[Chubby Mom]

[Tifflex]

Nice work today on Legs M24.

[Flynn]

plank hold 3 x's as long as I could hold each time...(I need a timer or stopwatch) LOL

Nice Leg Day!! Hey Mom, try adding alternating hip rotations (drop) ten times to each side after 30seconds and then hold for another 30seconds. Not only will it serve as a distraction from the hold, but it also kick the plank up a notch :p.

[joed]

Happy thursday mom.

[mom24boys]

Then the Mundane weekly food shopping, laundry etc....:)
Have a great night!

[StlBarbie]

OMG .. THERE is SO MUCH CONSTRUCTION around Indianapolis ... :eek:
Thought of you so much while driving through ... and while getting stuck in MAJOR TRAFFIC backups .. :eek: .. I wish I had thought of this prior .. we should have met someplace off highway 70 for lunch .. .. sigh .....
YOU HAVE TO COME NEXT YEAR!!! :)

[mom24boys]

OH man Barbie I didnt realize you would be so close I live less than 3 min from 70 east :(

[StlBarbie]

OH man Barbie I didnt realize you would be so close I live less than 3 min from 70 east :(

It was so funny .. I was driving through at lunch time thinking I should call mom for lunch . and then I realized .. all I know is LISA in Indy .. LMAO!!!

[justtryn]

LOL JT I dont think you have said ANYTHING about my butt...:)

Oh, well... I think I called you sweet cheeks, once. :D Um.... let me think.... um,

Oh, I know. It's cute! There, feel better?


Holy Crap, Lisa! You're doing 30lb db curls?? You're strong! Hope you got DOMS!! :D

[mom24boys]

Oh, well... I think I called you sweet cheeks, once. :D Um.... let me think.... um,

Oh, I know. It's cute! There, feel better?


Holy Crap, Lisa! You're doing 30lb db curls?? You're strong! Hope you got DOMS!! :D



Opps sorry Mark thats a typo should read 20...in my defense the 2 is right next to the 3..LOl and it was 30 on the rows :D


Now I need to get off my butt (cute or not) before it spreads and go work out. I seem to have the "Mondays" :eek:

[Hibiscus09]

OH man Barbie I didnt realize you would be so close I live less than 3 min from 70 east :(

Pooey -- you had a ride and a room offer. You should have come with us and partied!! :p

[mom24boys]

yea Diane..i gotta give you 2 my phone number...LOL we suck as planners hehehe

[StlBarbie]

yea Diane..i gotta give you 2 my phone number...LOL we suck as planners hehehe


Yes .. you do ... we need better executive skills here!!! ;) :p
So .. how was the wo????

[mom24boys]

Mondays WO
Upper Body :)

Bench Press 4X8 @ 40 lbs

Seated shoulder press 4x8 @ 20 lbs

Side lateral raises 4 x 8 at way less than 20 (this is apparntly a week spot)

Tricep extension 4x15 @ 20 lbs

Various ab crunches (either 4 or 5 i lost count) 4x15

Thats it for today.

[ChocoChick]

Side lateral raises 4 x 8 at way less than 20 (this is apparntly a week spot)



Why do you say that, Lisa? No one can do the same weight on laterals as on presses. If you really want to cry (but really isolate the laterals), do 'em seated.

[mom24boys]

well thanks DB thats good to know..and here i was thinking i was a weakling..LOL seated huh? lets wait till I get standing ones down LOL. I will try that..good thing I WO at home and can cry if I need to :)

[ChocoChick]

If you look in my journal you'll see that my seated laterals are about 1/2 what I can do on a standing press. I haven't done standing laterals in a while -- a friend showed me the seated ones and they do such a good job of isolating the side deltoid that I have not gone back.

[MarkY]

Hi sexy Lisa. Great workout today. Keep up the great work.

[HoosierHardGain]

Nice workout, Lisa!

[Chubby Mom]

Hi Mom24 Great WO yesterday:), I hate side lateral raises wish I didn't have to do them.:mad:

[Forge3]

well thanks DB thats good to know..and here i was thinking i was a weakling..LOL seated huh? lets wait till I get standing ones down LOL. I will try that..good thing I WO at home and can cry if I need to :)

I find it is good to do side lats right after standing press. It seems to give the shoulders a good overall well developed look.

[mom24boys]

Thanks Forge, Roseanne, hoos' Mark & Elise :)

Taking today off ..was supposed to be cardio but I forgot we had scouts....which of course ran over :) and now I have a headache & I am just not up to it. I will get it tomm.

Happy Tuesday :)

[Seosaid]

So how's your cardio today ;)

[mom24boys]

I did it Josie :D


missed yesterdays cardio so since today was leggies..and because I fiddled around and all of a sudden it was 7 pm :eek: I did the elliptical at 7/8 resistance for 30 min(wow that gets the HR up really quickly)...:) That was my mini leg/cardio combo Tommorrow is a 1/2 day so might get energetic and do a "real" leggie in the afternoon and reg cardio as scheduled Happy HuMp Day

[Original Poster]

Hey Lisa !

Now don't be skipping cardio like that :mad: LOL

[shadow2262]

HIYA Jaggies and Barb..Barbie I love that new avi..back looks good :)

Just finished up 30 min of cardio on the elliptical and abs

Whew I am tired now.....Oh yea, I weighed in today (first time in about 3 weeks) and the scale said 121.5.."YAY" I think I lost it ALL in the "boobays" as I had to go bra shopping today and i went down a full cup size :D does that mean the belly goes next? hehehe

[Seosaid]

LOL LOVE the YET ;)

[joed]

Speaking for all the men on the forum, let me tell you about the mixed feelings I have (as if you don't already know). It's terrific that you lost weight, but your diet is completely wrong for you. You're using the version for a man! You should never never never lose a cup size before the belly goes down. NEVER! It's, well, unhealthy. Poor dad24, I feel so bad for that man. Bet he never saw it coming. (joed in his best Reddfox Sanford voice, gasping and clutching his chest, "I feel weak, lightheaded, I think this could be the big one.")

[MarkY]

Hi ya sexy. Don't be afraid to post a pic of that sundress (without the jacket). Keep up the good work. And about your boobays.... nah, I'll leave that alone.

[mom24boys]

LOL hahaha Joe...funny guy huh?..i used to love that show :)

thanks Mark ;)

The Daffodils
by William Wordsworth


I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A Poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

[mom24boys]

JT :p

Thanks Joe :)

Sorry to here that. Early spring is NOT one of my favorite times. We've lost half of our Apricot blossoms last week and we may lose the rest of them this week. No worries though--they where nice to look at while we had them. Just no fresh home grown fruit :( I'll do some pruning this summer so we can cover them up next spring.

Nice workout--How do you like the sissy squats? I love how they hit the quads. I don't know if you have a link for them or not so here's one http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Quadriceps/WTSissySquat.html

For hams I like SLDL (http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Hamstrings/DBStrBackStrLegDeadlift.html) and Good Mornings (http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Hamstrings/BBGoodMorning.html). On both of those it helps to focus on your hams doing the lift.
