Ok! Shoe piccies! The shoes I prefer the most look like this; these are pure Lori shoes, and the ones I wanted to buy:



But I figured they’d be mighty uncomfortable for walking around in, so I went with these, which are a tad bit frumpy in my opinion, but look pretty nice with my dressy pants on since I wear flared dress pants. I wanted a thicker, lower heel, and these were the only other ones I could get but they fit my criteria well so I’m happy:



The jacket thing I bought is pretty nice. It was on sale. 70% off! So I got it for 26 dollars. It’s a bit big on me even though it’s a size 0. A little hard to see though:



And I was screwing around with the camera last night and snapped a few piccies! I took side a butt pic (hope it doesn’t get reported ) :



A side leg/butt pic on a different angle that looked kind of neat. Never had that line before:



And I took a picture of my unflexed, relaxed arm since it was never just normally that shape before. I always had chubby, straight looking arms until this year:



And a flexed arm pic for good measure. You know, since the one above looks totally gimped out. lol!:



And that’s all I’ve got. Hope it was somewhat entertaining! Hahaha! I’m really hungry today. Really, really hungry. And it’s 6:43 pm, and I haven’t spent any quality time with Stephen yet today, so I’m going to go do that. I will catch up with you all tomorrow! Nothing to do tomorrow! Yay! And guess what! This time next week- I'll hopefully be in Kitchener! We're leaving Monday evening! I cannot wait!!!!!! WOOO HOOO!

You'd have to be wearing pants to get reported. So your butt shots are fine

Your pics are sick!!! OMG, Lori, you look amazing!!

[-Lucifer]

I reported the second pic because it caused me to have an instant erection and I dropped my tea in the process.

[gobbles23]

It's Thursday! I have....4 days home, and 3 sleeps more in our beautiful soft awesome bed. Man I'm gonna miss that bed. I'm surprised I slept last night- I had so much on my mind! We won't have transportation up there, so we thought it'd be awesome if we could take our mountain bikes with us. Then Sandra (step-mother) called and had the brilliant idea of taking some pots/pans/other house stuff with us on the plane so we won't have to buy it. Might have to get it shipped up later- we need those bikes! *sigh*!

Today is BOX SQUAT DAY! Also other stuff, but I'm on a box squat kick I can't wait to go to a real gym so I can use a real box Hahaha! Anway, I gotta go do stuff! Be back later with workout

[Boomer29]

patiently waiting for those vids... I have to do box squats again today too.

Now it’s Bike Ride TIME!!!!!! Be back later with pictures and epic weightlifting videos!!!!!

This one will be done soon:





Oh, the last one's done. I'll post it. This is the one I failed in! Hahaha!

[squeaks77]

Wow, so you really sit all the way down and pause, huh? I was only doing touch and go. Not sure I'd ever get back up if I actually sat.

[newbeginning828]

Wow, so you really sit all the way down and pause, huh? I was only doing touch and go. Not sure I'd ever get back up if I actually sat.

I do it the same way as Gobz. Full sit, pause, they right back up.


Great work Lori!! Wow your RDLs just blow me away! I suck hardcore with those lol I need to start doing them more often.
WOW! You're looking great in those new piccies! SRS arms, legs, everything... freakin fantastic! SUPER jelly
*NB must work harder* Your piccies keep me motivated

Ohh what an exciting time for you two with the move!

[rickiecoombs]

Oh, Lori. I really don't have anything to say. Your body is just so freakin' amazing I feel the need to come in here and repeat what everyone else is saying. Hubz jokes that I have a crush. What he means to say is that he has a crush, and needs to blame someone else. Yeah, that's it.

While I am fairly certain I will never attain a body like yours, you are hugely motivating to me. I'd be happy to be half (or even a quarter?) as jacked. So thanks for the motivation to keep on keepin' on.

[Boomer29]

That sucks not even one bike?!

Liked the vids uh that is not failing! Congrats on the PR woot woot! On my last set last week I literally didn't get back up haha. RDL's nice I really wanna try those but since my normal deadlift sometimes turns into that I'm staying away until I'm a master regualr deadlifter.

I will full sit today and pause too.

[gobbles23]

Yup! It gets easier the more you do them!!!

Aww, you're so sweet Thank you so much!!!! You can totally do it- if I can do it anyone can! Seriously! lol!

We're not sure yet....still debating! Haha! After the bike run we had today I don't know how we can NOT take them So much fun!

I think that's a good idea with the deadlifts!! Master one thing first, then RDL will follow suit

Good luck with your workout today!

[gobbles23]

Some biking pictures for you! We had such a blast today- we were gone for a good 2 hours or so!!! I'm going to miss our bikes if we leave them behind. It'll cost 300 dollars though to take them both....But it would save us cash for bus fare and save time since we won't have to walk...Anyway, I gotta go help Stephen cook supper! We're having roasted potatos and BBQ pork chops and either some broccoli/corn/peas. Too lazy for salad making! haha! Tired and hungry now

[thehobbes]

How weird is it that the very first thing I thought about those pics was "whoa, lookit those quads and hams, niiiice!" That looks like some serious offroad biking, trailofdeath.jpg in the middle pic.

[Miranda]

awesome bike pics. riding is so much fun

[dreahere]

Hey, chickie

on the RDLS, those were ca-razy. I didn't see the squat fail, though. Did Stephen have to give you a little boost up? It didn't look like he was helping much if at all. And you look absolutely jacked in every one of those biking pictures. Just gorgeous.

[Fightingenetics]

That makes me want to start doing box squats again!! Nice pics

[JennLifts]

a) your hair
b) killer squatzzz!!!!
c) legs look good in your shorts

[Echo814]

Awesome job on the PR's! Getting those 50's up must of been a proud moment Vids of squatz and RDL's look good as well, they have a box at Golds but I can never find the damn thing half the time lol.

Pics look awesome Lori! Arms have such a nice shape to them and your glutes and hammies are definitely benefiting from those heavy RDLs I wish I could go out riding like that, forest and ocean all in the same ride, must be awesome

Keep us posted on the move! I hope everything is continuing to work out ok for you guys.

^That was exactly the first thing I thought too!
Looking great Lori!

Thanks!!!

Hahahaha! Trail of death indeed! That was one of the smoother ones! All rocks and roots everywhere around here!

awesome bike pics. riding is so much fun )

Oh it was so wonderful! I forgot how much I loved it!!!!

Hey there!

Aww, Thank you!!!! I actually got stuck in that position- Stephen had to help lift me so I could stand! If he wasn't there I would have had to plop back down on the chair. lol!
