The Chronicles of Turkey!

[gobbles23]

Gobz is all sunshine and lollipops.... but still loves to see a hell of a scrap.

She's a newf through & through.


If you look in the Powerlifting section there's an MMA subsection and they almost always have a big thread for every event.... usually containing LIVE streams. I've watched a few that way.

Oh and hai Gobz!

Hahaha!

Hey Wayne! Long time no see! Miss you in here!

Holy cow ... those deads made me tired just watching them! Good for you!

Thanks

Amazing work! Your videos are so helpful: they help me with my form. Thanks for posting!

Thank you!

Lori, you're a certified mad woman. Those deads are insane hahah. Good luck with your walking goals on November 19th hahaha.

Hahhaa! Thanks Kasara! I think I'll need it!

[gobbles23]

Not nearly enough sleep last night! Too much stuff was done yesterday- my mind wouldn't shut up But that's ok- chest and biceps later today! Will check in with you all at lunch! I may go for a nice walk today though!

[tina722]

You said you liked the deficits - right?

They look good - your feet are close together!! not bad - just makes it harder I imagine... how does it feel standing on the plates, is there enough 'push'?

and crazy workout -tons of volume, heavy weights. nice job!

[gobbles23]

I do! I find they take all the stress away from my back and I can really push with my hamstrings more. Feels awesome!

There's enough push, but it's very uncomfortable. lol! Wish I had some books or something, will look for other things to stand on!

Thank you!

[rickiecoombs]

Oh, hai, Superwoman!

Every time I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere with my lifting, I come in here and it's like, "Yeah, Rickie, you're just a baby. Work harder. Must lift like Lori." Haha. Seriously. You are inspirational. Even more-so because you're a Newfie. Solidarity for the win!

I hear ya on the total chaos/business/no time for anything front. It's exhausting. You go, go, go, go, go, and then you go some more. And then by the time your head hits the pillow, your mind is racing so fast, you can't get to sleep... and then you're exhausted the next day all over again, because you didn't get enough sleep! Haha! It's impossible to fit everything in. Can you imagine having children on top of everything else?!

Anyways. I'm rambling.

Seems like you're doing awesome, despite the busy-ness. I'm so glad you got this other temp job - so relieving to have some steady income. Hopefully something else comes along right after you finish this stint!

Happy Monday!

Hey Ricki!

Oh, it's so crazy- the weekend just flew! I don't even know what happened! lol! It's exactly like you just described it- just constantly gone mad. I need a vacation! Hahahaha!

Oh, I forgot to mention it- but my supervisor asked me if I minded having my contract extended for some time last Thursday! I may be here for another year, or forever if I wanna be! Happy with that! Not sure I love the job, but the experience and paychecks are nice

Happy Monday!!!

~~~~~~

Going to get ready and go for a quick walk after I eat my sammich, and I gotta figure out where to get some balloons and cake and stuff- Stephen's birthday is on Thursday! ! Got lots of preparing to do!

That is so exciting! You must be relieved about that

[Redfizz]

Congratulations! I bet that's a relief. You totally earned that extension.

[Echo814]

Lots of great stuff going on in here

Yay for picking a program, I know how fond you where of PMB! Your leg session looked pretty epic, you and your crazy reps with DL

Congrats on the job continuation offer! At least you know you will be employed for a good long time and like you said it will help building your resume.

We watched the the fight Sat too! It was pretty brutal Seeing St Pierre come back from his injuries like that was awesome Kinda sad that Carlos lost, you know the whole fighter being from my home town thing, but he put up a great fight.

Have fun planning stuff for Stephens B-Day!

[dreahere]

Congrats on the job news! Are you gonna be all sneaky and surprise Stephen with the birthday stuff?

[-Lucifer]

I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!

I didn't miss you, though.

[gobbles23]

[gobbles23]

I think my multi-quoting days are over on this computer. lol!

That is so exciting! You must be relieved about that

I am! Though I was kinda of hoping I'd be going to a different, more exciting place, but steady income is nice

Congratulations! I bet that's a relief. You totally earned that extension.

Aww, thank you!

Thanks!! Yeah, it's my favourite program! Excited to do my next workout!

ANd thank you! Money is nice to have on a regular basis! WHenever i feel like complaining about my job I think about how I'm getting paid to do what I'm doing right now. lol!

Today I'm going to try to run over to zellers at the mall and buy balloons and oreos for the cake. It's an oreo cake. I much post a picture. Mmmm! I don't know if I'll have enough time to make it to the mall at lunchtime though. We'll see. lol!

Congrats on the job news! Are you gonna be all sneaky and surprise Stephen with the birthday stuff?

Thank you! I am! He wanted some moeny to put towards a jacket he wants to buy online, but I bought a few surprises for him anyway I'm excited to give him presents!!!!! And I'm baking him a cake, and decorating with balloons- he'll be spoiled! I may even pick him up a few cans of beer!

I didn't miss you, though.

You know you did!

[gobbles23]

Yesterday Stephen and I were tired so we rested instead of working out! We got lots of sleep and feel awesome today! Chest and biceps later for sure! Then back tomorrow, and shoulders and triceps on Friday! Wooot! Today I have to magically pick up balloons and cake ingredients somewhere. lol! Oh dear. I have nothing else intelligent to type this morning. But I'll be back later with workout and videos!!

[-Lucifer]

I may even pick him up a few cans of beer!

You are wife material.

[nvrstopworking]

You are wife material.

Seriously. Lifts... cooks... bakes... watches UFC.... and is still girly.

Someone clone this girl!


Congrats on the extension Gobz! May not be EXACTLY what you want to do but a steady reliable income is definitely nice to have! And just in time for Christmas too!

Thank you! It's really not a bad little job- today was great! I figure I won't get my dream job fresh out of school anyway without experience (unless you're Kasara! ), so I may as well build up my experiences/references doing something somewhat related. It IS office/adminstrative mostly, I do lots of scanning and various other administrative tasks, so it's not too far from what I'd like to do, really Having money for christmas is amazing! I'm going to have so much fun!

[gobbles23]

This workout was alright- I was making lunches, cleaning, doing dishes, and making supper at the same time

So pooped, I walked to the bus stop, walked to work from the mall bus stop, jogged to the dollar store at lunch and walked back, ran to the bus stop to get home, walked from that bus stop to home, did my workout while doing everything else...I literally JUST sat down.

I didn’t even get to eat supper yet and it’s 7:47! Lol! We’re having burgers and fries, and it’s all cooked and ready to eat. Just enjoying a nice cold beer first!

Going to go drink the rest of my beer, eat, shower, watch some Game of Thrones or Walking Dead (depending on what time Andrew gets home, and pass out

[Redfizz]

I really like how you did the inclined push up! I might try something like that.

And anyone who does weighted push ups get this from me:

[riverofbeauty]

I really don't know how you can be bothered doing a workout after a day like that...especially your strong workouts haha. That's why I have to work out first thing in the morning...I'm too likely to put it off in the evenings.

I hear ya! lol! Morning workouts are not an option for me- not until we move out anyway, out roommateb sleeps right next to the weights, and it'd be a little loud! It helps though that Stephen works out with me- we just talk and lift and do chores inbetween sets. Hahaha! It's not so bad!!

[gobbles23]

Burned almost 2700 calories yesterday! Feels like it. lol! I slept like a rock but I'm still so tired! It's beautiful here today! I'm going to walk to Future Shop on my lunch break and buy Stephen a new game for his birthday! I'm picking up the new Need for Speed game- I can't wait to play it either! Hahaha! Although, Assassins creed would be sweet to buy too....Oh dear....Which game!? Erica!? lol! How's Assassins Creed 3???

Then when I get home it'll be back workout day, and cake making time! And balloons have to be blown up in preparation for tomorrow!!!! I'm so excited! I have a bunch of surprises for Stephen he's going to love! YAY! Be back later with workout!

Assassins Creed 3 was awesome! The story line is probably the best in the series In the first part it leaves you with a nice WTF just happened feeling.

Wow hats a lot of activity there , glad you got some rest That chest and bicep workout looked brutal, you and your weighed push ups lol.

[marathonmom262]

Awesome workouts since I last got to catchup Lori - you really rocked the deadlifts girl!

Sounds like things have been busy but good for you, job extension, birthday celebrating about to happen. I think beer makes any birthday good hehe

I think Santa is going to be bringing Mommy and Daddy some Xbox games this year so maybe I'll have to add Assassins Creed 3 to my list. I've been watching Amazon like a hawk to see if there are any good lightning deals where I can snag something for a big discount!

Enjoy the birthday celebration tomorrow!!

It looks SO GOOD! I wanted to buy it really bad, but then I was talking to Stephen's brother and he said he remembered Stephen mentioning how much he wanted need for speed. I don't like the review it got, other than that there would have been no question, and I know he likes assassins creed as well (we both do!) but in the end I went with Most Wanted. I will get him assassins creed for christmas.

Thank you! Wish I had gotten some yesterday Ugh- sleepy! Still so sore too!

Yay for games! I haven't played a new one in forever- I'm dying!

Yep- beer makes any occasion better! Hahahaha! Thanks! So excited to go home today!

[gobbles23]

Oh, come on guys- I'm bored out of my mind here- you need to start posting more! lol! Because you all have holidays my phone here isn't ringing Boring dog dangling day today. At least I get to do some scanning this morning after 9, but this afternoon will be awfully slow.

Never got my workout in. I was so sore, adn I had so much to do. BUT- I made a fabulous oreo cake and decorated it and put up balloons and everything! Our sink keeps clogging and that took some time to fix, and I had to go to the store and buy some icing sugar, and did 2 loads of dishes (before and after supper) and I had to make lunch and shower....It's so hard to get my workouts in. I need a better plan.

I think my biggest problem is that I get overwhelmed with the amount of things I have to do after work, I mean, I'm home at 5:45, and in bed at 10:00-10:30. I start my workouts at 6:00. If I could forget everything else and do my workouts as fast as possible and be done by 7, I'd have 2 hours to do dishes/make supper/do dishes/make lunch/get showered. Because 9:00-10:00-10:30 is our downtime before bed. I'll try that instead of trying to multi-task during my workouts. lol!

Tomorrow night we're meeting at the mall after work and picking up the groceries at Zehrs (spelling?) and then we'll take the bus home by around 7:00. So today I'll do back, triceps, and shoulders. Stephen was all like "I don't care if it's my birthday tomorrow, I'll do a workout anyway. What else is there to do?" Not knowing that I bought him a game he'll want to play. Hahaha! I have to get my workout in thoguh. Not missing any days next week no matter what.

[-Lucifer]

Oh, come on guys- I'm bored out of my mind here- you need to start posting more! lol! Because you all have holidays my phone here isn't ringing Boring dog dangling day today.

Now you know how I feel each and every day.
