The Chronicles of Turkey!

[-Lucifer]

Hahah! How about 'Turkey Curls'??? lol! Makes it sound like you're curling turkeys!!! Bahaha!

I was serious about what I said. You heard of Derek Poundstone? He's a strongman. He invented the 'Poundstone curl', which is nothing but curls done with the 45 lb bar to failure. Lol. So if he can name something that's not even new, you can surely name this exercise 'Lori/Turkey curls' (which is something that has never been done before).

I don't know- I think flirting requires confidence- and I don't have a whole lot of that

Turkey! Don't say that - you are a strong, white woman who don't need no man!

[dreahere]

Just for you, Andrea Vids of Lori lifitn gin Santa hat, coming up!

I love you so much. Srs.

Turkey! Don't say that - you are a strong, white woman who don't need no man!

hahahaha

Thumbs up on the creative workout, Ms Lori!

Workout Bump!!!!!

I wasn’t really feeling lifting uber heavy today. The remnants of my head cold still linger slightly and I felt like I didn’t have the energy to really give 100% for low reps. So I got creative again.

135x8
185x5
210x3 (PR! +5lbs, +3 reps!)
210x1 (Pr! + 1 rep. lol! )
200x3



Deadlifts:
180x18 PR! Will work on these for the next few weeks



Zerchers: 3x3-5 reps
45x10
95x5
125x3 (Could have done more but I wasn’t in the mood)

D.B Ham Curls Off Couch: 3x8-10 reps
20x22

One-Sided Squat Deadlift Things: (These were awkward and difficult)

Then I was toast. lol! Nice to change things up sometimes. Hopefully next week I’ll be able to do my 3 main heavy exercises + many of these ones from today Going to go enjoy what's left of the evening for as long as I can

[gobbles23]

Awesome 'getting creative' workout, chickie! Intrigued by the one-sided squat deadlift things - may have to try this...

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and hope you shake of those head cold remnants asap!

Thanks Charli!

They are very tough on your core! My form sucked on the otehr side since it was tired from the first side! Hahaha! Fun though!

180 x 18???!!

You're starting to scare me Gobz....

p

Hahhaa! My goal is 185x30 before January!

Turkey! Don't say that - you are a strong, white woman who don't need no man!

How do I go about doing that???

Hahahaha! You're silly

I love you so much. Srs.

hahahaha

Thumbs up on the creative workout, Ms Lori!

I love you too!

It was nice for a change! Since I did a pansy workout though I'm punishing myself and doing squats on Wednesday!

[gobbles23]

Hey guys! Andrew, Stephen and I often have little challenges amongst ourselves. A week ago we did a push-up contest. Last night it was bicep measuring and arm wrestling time. Hahaha! Since the measuring tape was out, I took my other measurements as well. I'm going to re-do them tonight just to make sure they were accurate since I did them quickly before bed and I was tired.

Based on my measurements sometime at the beginning/middle of this year: Biceps: 13" (+0.5 inches) Waist: 24.25 inches (-1.75 inches) Hips: 34" (-2 inches) Thighs: 20" (-0.5 inches) Huh.

So anyways, today is a rest day. Tomorrow will be chest and triceps day! Tuesday is a rest day. Wednesday will be forever known now as Wedsquatday, Thursday will be a rest day, Friday will be back, Saturday- Shoulders/miscellaneous, and then Sunday legs, etc. Exciting!

I don't know how I feel chubbers, but I do a little. I will just tighten up my diet this week a little (cut out hot cocoa/sweet coffee drinks, cut out chip nibbles, cut a few needless things out of my meals) and see what happens Yes, I have problems.

Oh! Guess what happens today? I mentioned it before but it may have gotten lost amongst my billion posts that day Today I'm getting...tested...for lack of a better word, for that job position I applied for! I think I pretty much have it! Maria told me she was going to give me some tables and check out my typing and see where I'm too. Exciting! Wish me luck!

I've never measured my muscles. Don't want to be embarrassed.
sortasrs.

Good luck today!

I loved the vids of your leg workout Those lumberjack squats look painful...might have to try them sometime!

[MissKB]

GOOD LUCK TODAY! Ps. your waist is officially 1/4 of an inch away from most Victoria Secret models.

STOP FEELING CHUBBY. lol

I agree, those lumberjack squats look insane, but fun.

[Boomer29]

That whole session was unreal!!! so cool I am amazed what all you can do in your space. I definitely would not attempt this at home

[riverofbeauty]

Good luck today! Fingers crossed for you.

No one over the age of eight who has a 24 inch waist can legitimately be called chubby. So knock that shiz off. Just because I love you, doesn't mean I'm gonna put up with that.

Best of luck with the job, chickie!

Hahaha! I was really curious- it's been a while since I took any measurements!

Thanks! I think she forgot. lol! My supervisor is so busy every day- plus I was on the reception desk all afternoon. Hopefully today though! It took almost a week to get me registered for a silly course I had to do! lol!

They were quite painful! I'm sore in places I've never been sore before!

GOOD LUCK TODAY! Ps. your waist is officially 1/4 of an inch away from most Victoria Secret models.

STOP FEELING CHUBBY. lol

Thank you! I may need it for today instead. Hahaha!

My measurements were off! I thought they were- I'd have to be insane to feel chubbers with those! lol!

^^^This!^^^


I agree, those lumberjack squats look insane, but fun.

Thank you! I'll certainly do them again! Hard to get the barbell into place though when there's lots of weight on the end

[gobbles23]

Aww, thanks Boomer I'm very sore from it all!!!

Good luck today! Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks! I didn't get to do it yesterday, but hopefully sometime this week. Haha!

That's good!!!! I agree! My waist is apparently 26", not 24, but that's chubbers for me. Haha! If I relax and bend over- I seriously have three small chub rolls now, and it's right jiggly. Which is funny because my legs don't feel fatter. So I figure it's either water, or my body fat redistributed itself differently. Huh.

Thank you

[gobbles23]

Ok, little update- my waist is 26", my thighs are 21", my hips are 35". I have to use a string + measuring tape for measuring, and apparently the string I used had more give than I thought, even though I was trying to do it as lightly as possible.

Last night I used something with no stretchy at all, and that's what I got Which is cool- now I don't feel so crazy for wanting to lose a couple of pounds! It's just my belly- I never had so much chub on it in a long time, and I don't know where it came from. I'm positive it wasn't there like that last week! lol! But now it jiggles and I can grab it and it's very uncomfortable so it must go! Whether it's fat or water- we'll find out shortly

So yesterday was successful- about 1600 cals. Today is chest and triceps day! And I'm heading over to the dollar store at lunch to see what I can find in the way of cheap decorations for the kitchen. I can't wait to clean the place up and decorate it- It's hard to keep the place organized with Andrew around, so I usually don't bother! lol!

But he's going home on the 17th of December and staying for 3 weeks,so when he goes we're going to gut and clean and decorate and get the tree up and bake some cookies and listen to some Christmas carols and drink some champagne.....Ahhh...

Stephen actually has 12 days off since the University shuts down, but I'm working here and there throughout the holidays. Which is great because then we'll still have money coming in. I'm looking forward to the little break though- I've got holidays and half days, a few full days but only 1 or two here and there. Christmas eve I'm off at 2:00 and christmas day and boxing day are holidays

Anyway, sorry for the book! Hahahaa! You know I added up the amount of time I spend walking everyday? I actually get almost exactly one hour of walking cardio in every day. Huh. No wonder I'm so tired all the time- that plus my workouts plus 5.5 hours of sleep every night....Blarga! This dieting stuff is going to be challenging VERY excited for Janet to cget in so I can go back to my desk and drink coffee! Ahhhh, coffee. Be back later with workout!

[gobbles23]

HAIR QUESTIONS!!!!!!

Hey guys! I have a few questions for you! I absolutely HAVE to get something done with my hair- it's driving me crazy. I don't want to dye it myself anymore- I want nice, real hair. lol! Well, somewhat real, anyway I was thinking a few things.

First off- I hate my natural color, it's like a dark blond color and it's really dull and boring. Almost grey-ish or something. Anyway, I was thinking of either dying it back to my natural hair color and getting a wack of highlights, or getting it dyed a nice light brown color and then getting highlights.

So I have a few questions! First off- if I dye it all over first, should I wait a few weeks to get the highlights put in so I don't kill my hair, or is it ok to get those done 5 minutes after the dye job is done?

And if I go with a light brown rather than my natural color- will that be impossible to maintain? How would I do the roots then, you know, what with the highlights and all??? Is that even possible? Any suggestions? I'm new to this, I've been dying my hair blond since I was 15 or 16. Hahaha!

Oh, and apparently I grew I am actually 5'4.75 I'm closer to 5'5 than I am 5'4. lol!

[soopamyko]

hmm great thighs and hips measurements

[riverofbeauty]

Well if you go to a hairdressers they take care of touching up the roots etc for you. Your natural hair sounds a similar colour to mine (mine may be a bit lighter). I've been every colour imaginable, and in the last year or so I decided to go back to a close colour to my natural one...sooo much better! If your hair is dark blonde and you dye it light brown your regrowth won't be too much of a problem...it's probably the highlights that would be. I get highlights now, and as long as they're subtle they look good and are pretty easy to maintain.

Awesome, thanks!

I think I will look up the costs/reviews at all the salons and see where I should go. I may just go with my natural color and do the highlights so then I can just keep going back and getting those touched up here and there rather than getting my roots touched up as well. Or maybe not, it can't be much to get those touched up along with it. Hmmmm! I'm excited! I'm going to go look stuff up!

[Fightingenetics]

I can't even tell you how many times I've seen (and done) some weird at home highlights. Definitely go professional if you aim for that route.

I think you'd make a great brunette!

Haha! Yeah, I've done some pretty funky things to my hair in the past until I decided I'd just go with a plain blond. lol! I always loved the look of natural hair with blond highlights, so I think I'll do that. It's 44 dollars to get your roots touched up, so I may go natural and then just get the highlights touched up so it won't cost so much every time I go back. Yes. But.....What looks better I wonder, highlights w/cap on head or foils? Hmmm...!

Thank you! I had my hair brown in the past and I really liked it, but I couldn't get it to stick over the blond. I could never really afford to do it professionally and keep it up

[Fightingenetics]

I know the feeling. Thank goodness for trades! Everyone wants a massage ;D

I think foils look really good depending on who's doing them. Seems like you can get closer to the scalp. Can't wait to see the results!

MMm, massages are amazing

I just did some reading and it appears foils do have a better reputation! So I guess I'll go with my natural color with some light foils. I may get a few inches taken off it too so it looks thicker. Exciting! I'm going to see if I can afford to get it done this weekend. I only worked 4 days last week, so I'll have to see! I may get it dyed natural this weekend and get foils the next weekend! Then it'll be done in time for Christmas! Foils are very expensive, and my hair is long. To get it dyed is about 65-70 dollars, and then foils start at 95 dollars. Eeek! Hahaha! It'll totally be worth it though

[pharty]

Do you have any good hair schools up there? My stylist/friend went to a Aveda and they have the upper students practice and it's pretty cheap but could take all day lol.

Def go pro if you can.

Haha! Yeah, I thought about doing that, but I'd like to get it done professionally, I think

Hey, your hair is really pretty, P- what did you do??

[gobbles23]

I sort of want something like this. I want to keep it light, but more natural looking, I think:

[nvrstopworking]

Are you really mad because you've grown almost an inch?

You know that most people would kill for that right?

Maybe you need to do more heavy squats to shrink you again.

Hahaha! Yes- I was proud of my 5'4 height Hahaha!

I think you're right!

[-Lucifer]

5'5"? So you're no longer short and cute. That's it; I'm out of here.

[nvrstopworking]
