[thehobbes]

That's quite the feat to be able to get that whole workout done in 50 min. 8x8 bw chest dips mirin'!

[mmater]

[kimm4]

It's a machine for chest. There are many different ones, but they all look something like this.

Chest dips are hard indeed...I need longer rest periods for those!

Oh good, I'm glad you tried it. It takes everything you got to get through...humbling experience for sure!

I was looking back in my journal and I see I missed a deload. I'm not sure if I will deload next week or take a full week off...but I'm def due for one!

Today I hit some legs. I didn't bother with the 8 x 8 program, just went for some heavier weights instead.

I am going to try your 8*8 program in Sept. I train right now with my 4 yr old sidekick, so this will be a hard program to complete with a kid around....he goes to kindergarten in the fall, so I'll be all alone... I am taking a rest week next and need to find a program to do from then until Sept....looks like I will be spending my rest week researching

Have a great weekend!

There is nothing better then a 4 yr old sidekick...it def keeps us young! I think you will enjoy the program. It's a nice change and I'm going to run it for another 4-5 weeks.

Thanks so much ladies. I've got to say that goodmornings are one of my favorite exercises for hamm/glutes...they are a staple in my program.

I love my family, but all the parties are just too much. We make it a point to try to get away with my youngest (we want her to enjoy her summer) and before you know it, summers over...it's crazy!

Those are amazing stats. Crazy crazy!

Thanks Debbie! Hope you have a wonderful vacation.

They're great for you lower back. You would do very will with them!

[kimm4]

Hello ladies.

I haven't been anywhere near journals, because I've taken the full week off. My shoulder needs the rest and it made more sense compared to my usual deload. I'm sticking to my diet, but my weight is up. I've been full blown PMS for the past 2 weeks...still no period...I'm just waiting patiently...

I guess this is what happens after 40. My hormones are completely out of whack, but I'm feeling ok so I'll just suck it up.

Have a great night everyone.

I hear ya...I would like to deny that it's peri stuff starting for me but past half year cycle changes are a starting....period coming sooner...ovulation sooner...bloating like a friggin balloon...oh look, now my period is coming later...not sure what else to blame it on...sigh...

Hope you have a good weekend regardless!

[bethanyboo]

I hope your shoulder is feeling better! I hate it when an injury forces me to deload. Gah.

I'm shocked to read about the pms-thing. I'was half a week late this week, which means two full weeks of pms almost. :S No CLUE why! Sorry to hear about that shoulder!!

[Echo814]

ick Kimm! Sorry about the cycle problems :-( Hopefully the bloaty feeling goes away soon :-)

The shoulder issue doesn't sound good, is it a rotator cuff issue, can't recall exactly.

[gobbles23]

PMS for 2 weeks!? My usual 5 days is bad enough, you poor girl! Hope it doesn't last much longer!

Hope your shoulder gets better soon

When one is stuck with PMS, things get quite nasty. I hope you will get over it fast.

Take care.

Personally, I thought perimenopause was way worse then actual menopause and postmenopause rocks!

When you can't suck it up anymore, just hang on tight...it's a wild ride!

[kimm4]

We have my daughter's 8th graduation early in the morning...highschool here she comes!

[Echo814]

Glad the break did some good Workouts are still looking good, are the rest periods shorter now that you had the break?

Congrats to your daughter! Is she excited to be moving onto high school?

[Debbie]

How was your daughter's graduation? How is feeling about joining high school life?


Kim, I will be giving a hard time when we start with my plan.
Brazilian food is impossible for me to resist. (
In one week time, I have added 4.4lbs (mostly fat for sure) despite me going to the gym on a daily basis.
Me = guilty

[norinicole]

Holy shit Kim!!! Smokin' new avi! I think that's one of the best shots you have.

Great workouts as well. Glad to hear you enjoyed your week off

[mastersfreak63]

what she said ^^^^ SMOKING-KILLER AVI. Talk about looking hard and tight.

And it is workouts you are doing that is producing those types of results. KEEP BRINGING IT!!

[Euqinom]

Look at you! You sexay!

[kimm4]

Hello darlin, I'm trying very hard to stick with 15-17 sec rests and so far I'm on it! My daughter was very excited yesterday. The ceremony was nice, a bit long...and then we took the girls out for breakfast. I haven't been out to breakfast for years because it's no my normal schedule. The thought of highschool scares her a bit, but she has so many friends/makes friend easy...I think she'll be fine.

The thought of my daughter going to highschool makes me sad. My last baby at home, growing up too fast. Oh, it's vacation so please enjoy it...we'll kill it when you get back!

I think it's been 7 weeks of dieting. Things seems to be tightening up a bit, which is exactly what I wanted.

Thanks everyone!
