Strength in numbers..Kim's journal

[mmater]

I am the last person to give out fashion advice; however, I can sympathize with finding something the actually fits your body type. I think the men's section has wife beaters that are really long, so maybe you could get a black one and it will just be a short dress....maybe? :-)

Found it!

Decline bb press:
3 x 10 @ 65, 75, 85, 85lbs (actually failed on the last set/rep and could not push the weight off my chest. I've done heavier than 85 before, too. That's never happened to me. My spot was texting at the time, too..and it took him a min to hear me...blerg)

BRB, taking dude's iphone and repeatedly smashing it with a 45 until the 900 pieces of said crushed iphone are permanantly embedded in the gym flooring. Damn, doesn't matter if that weight was easy for you, you never know what could happen - injuries can happen mid-lift, sweaty hands slip, people mis-judge, sometimes crap just happens on a "light" set.

and...yesterday, my son accidentally locked himself in his room and broke the doorknob. I couldn't get the lock, so I had to charge the door and break it down. Just took 2 runs at it...nice to have an Amazon around the house..

LOL! You guys are awesome, running around breaking down doors, I am proud.

4/16

Woke up feeling like a total badazz today. Lean and strong...can see my abs, obliques...life is good.

At work another trainer said, "Kim, you look tough today. Like one of those movie heroines where the guy thinks he's gonna kick her ass...but she kicks his ass."

Nice.


No training..I'm doing a bit of a deload this week. Will do 3 full body w/outs w/ decresed weight, and cardio most days.

Glad you could find it..I noticed it didn't embed in my msg as a link. Yeah, I can't wait to get it tomorrow

I was thinking of you when I wrote this post, lol. Well, the one about feeling lean...I read your post re: looking/feeling leaner but no change on the scale. The same thing is happening here...who knows what's going on, lol

[megdaig]

Fawk!!! I am so far behind. I kept thinking "I haven't seen any action in Bos' journal in a while" then realized I had somehow unsubbed...playing catchup here...

How's the back?

[KimPossible98]

HI!!!!!!!!!! Checking in to see how youare doing and see that you are doing well

Hows the hip feeling? Interesting comment about your trap being higher on one side - what did the PT have to say about that? Are you getting massage work done on it?

[bosgirlin09]

@ Meg...nice to see you Things are OK. Leaning out slowly but surely.

@KimP...hey stranger! PT is going well. Getting lots of massage and stretching. The bigger trap is not hypertrophy..it's from muscle spasm according to PT. So I'm making progress mw/ the injury and managing to keep my training ok...

[bosgirlin09]

4/18: Rest day/still deloading this week

Ho hum...not much to report. Feel kind of lazy deloading. Going to weigh in tomorrow...not sleeping well, super hungry and peeing like crazy. So hoping for a whoosh tomorrow I should be well under 150 by now. But I'm leaning out...hearing more and more often at gym/work that I'm, "getting bigger" which really means Im getting smaller, just more defined.

[kimm4]

I love the dress, it will look great on you!

Here's hoping for your whoosh and a good night's sleep.

haha! I'm not ever surprised by what peoploe are doing on the internet..

The human snail is an ab exercise done with a big ball. You roll over the ball until the ball is under your shins and your hands are under your shoulders, like you're starting a pushup. The you pull the ball towards your front and pike your butt up.

[gobbles23]

Oh cool! Thanks!

[mmater]

thinking we should come up with another name for the "human snail" exercise. Sounds very counter-intuitive....and slimy. :-)

[bosgirlin09]

4/12:

Big WHOOSH! this am. Bos is a happy girl, lol. Looking nice and lean, but not ripped, yet. As I lean out I am reminded that I really need to work on my legs/glutes. They have a great shape...but I need/want more size! Every day I am more convinced that I need to do a good long bulk after the summer.

Shoulders in 1 hr.

Random stuff: Got the black dress I posted a link to and it is HOT!! It is even too long for me with heels, so I'll have to get it shortened a bit. It's like it was made for a giantess..weird. Also, ordered 2 dresses from Victoria's Secret and got them, too. One of them I had to order by bra size. I thought, "That's weird.." but went ahead and got it. It came yesterday and my first thought was, "Dang this dress is heavy.." Well, the built in bra has like 5 lbs of padding, lol. There was literally NO ROOM for my boobs inside the bra!! So the black is the dress of choice for my reunion which is a mere 2 weeks away. Can't wait to go home!

Oh, on another note I found a pair of jeans that actually work for my legs!! They are the Victorias Secret "hipster bootcut". A nice amount of stretch through the quads, also smaller in the hips/glutes. And not too low cut, I think. And they have 3 lengths

[mmater]

Congrats on the whoosh! I hope your whoosh brings on my whoosh. I will know on Monday. You are going to make a lot of the wives' jealous at this reunion, so be prepared. ;-)

I've always seen it as swissball pike???

Gonna have to go check out them jeans! Though it's nearly Summer...lol.

Hooray for the whoosh! Not looking ripped? Doubtful...lol!

Congrats on the woosh, "not ripped" suuuuure. Winter bulk FTW!

And in for Human Snail, lol, wait wut?!

[bosgirlin09]

Yes, there WILL be an epic bulk in the fall. I only have myself to blame for the lack of bulk in my legs...I've been dieting probably 11 of the past 15 mos. If I ever want to make progress I have to get off the diet train. And I'm beginning to worry that so much pressure on dieting is not a good thing for mind or body. It can lead to all kinds of issues, including serious body dysmorphia. Plus I haven't had a period in almost a year...yikes. Though...I can't believe Im saying this...that may also have to do with my age. I'll be 43 on Saturday. Double yikes!!!

BUT...on another note, I was talking to a woman I see at work every day about Fiesta events(big week in SA). She asked if I was going to any, and I said I was taking the kids to the art fair today. "You have kids?!" she asked, and her mouth literally dropped. I told her I had 3...and when she said I didn't look old enough I told her my age. She had guessed me to be 28.


Oh! Shoulders yesterday:
Machine OH Press
DB OH Press
Lat Raise
Front raise
Rear delts
bb roll outs
decline OH ball toss

IN for epic bulk an some insanely heavy weights being moved!

And an awesome compliment for you miss muscley-rediculously-strong lady. I have to tell everyone about you when they blame their lack of fitness on their age. Makes it easy to call BS on them.

Lol...I do the same thing with women who come into the gym for a PT consult. If I hear one more woman blame her "fatness" on being over 40 and having kids...

Still deloading so 2 sets of each. I plan to take progress pics tomorrow morning. This morning a client I haven't seen for a few weeks commented on my weight loss and said I looked "fragile"...grrrr...hardly the look I'm going for. We'll see tomorrow!

[kimm4]

Congrats on the whoosh, ahhh not so much on the "fragile" comment. Some people don't know any better LOL!

Great shoulder work, it's one of my fav bodyparts to train.

BRB, some woman turning 40 - boom, suddenly a wild muffin top and a couple kids appear!

Cool stuff on the age comment, can't wait to see COMP BOZ 2012!
