ChocoChick's Next Chapter (still chocolate filled)
Okie dokes... There have been and will be many changes in my life so I thought a new journal would be in order. I will ask a mod to close the old one and hopefully all you fun people who've been commenting will find me here.

Ok, these messages were in my old journal and I hadn't replied, so I thought I'd bring them over here.
Thanks, BBT. I force myself to go to the gym whether I am in the mood or not... It's my stubborn streak. And I always log my workouts, so I don't allow myself to go backwards on weights, either. Did I mention that I have a stubborn streak?Originally Posted by BigBT
You're a real sweetie, Mark. I hope I can live up to your good words.Originally Posted by MarkY
I am slightly less logy today, Jason. Could be the instant coffee I dumped into my pre-workout shake.Originally Posted by jmc53
That's good to know.
I hope you feel less logy tomorrow.
(Now if I can just use that word two more times today it will be mine)
Hey SoN, nice to see you hear. And nice to see you with an avatar now. You look great!Originally Posted by SumthinOrNuthin

Nice workout CG. Congrats on the leg extension pb - I always do one leg at a time too, but I hate them - kills my knees.

Great work! Nice to have a clean new journal, huh?
There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.

I think I need to build up more endurance in my workouts. I've been doing legs 2x/week rather than one longer session but I am starting to wonder if I'd get more out of the single, long session.Originally Posted by powells2

When you have time, what is a box squat and a bulgarian squat?

Great job! Squats are the toughest exercise, but they yield the best benefits. Good things don't come easy!! Keep it up.

Elise,
Congrats on the new journal. No doubt you will have views and responses that put all other journals to shame within a month...
New job (maybe?), new workouts, I am assuming that the constant will be 70%+ dark chocolate?
Best of luck on the new adventures..._______________________________________________

I worse shorts today for the first tiem in a long time and I can see that my quads have gotten a lot more muscular. But my hammies are still small and I think I probably need to eat a whole lot more than I do to see the type of growth that I want.Originally Posted by chrisbute
Thanks, Tim. Dark chocolate is a constant in my life!Originally Posted by thr61

Nice workout, Elise."If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

Hi Elise - I hope I am welcome in here....
Great leg workout - and I loved your "near-death" comment. I can relate. I wish I could do Bulgarians like that but I've got a foot issue whereby my foot gets excruciating cramps if it's flexed...in any way. I couldn't bear the excruciating pain in both my foot AND my glutes while going those! I *think* that some people call split squats "Bulgarian squats" - is that right?
I seem to offended you in my journal, so I am making a peace (of Sacher torte) offering!
Please call me Emma....

Yes, bulgarian squats are the same as split squats. We actually have a station for them at my gym and I like it. It is plate loaded, and it has a place for you to rest your back foot. I find that I have an easier time keeping my balance on it than I do when I put my back foot on a bench.

Cher????
Ok, I was at Barnes and Noble today and, on the way out, this guy stopped me and said, "Oh my God! You look just like a young Cher."
This can't possibly be a good thing. I've Googled her and most of the pics I've come up with are pretty horrifying! Ack ack ack ack.

Well, there were plenty of people back in the day who thought Cher was the bomb. I wasn't one of them...of course I would have been about 6 at that time in her life. Now, for us to make a full assessment, you must now post a face picture...Originally Posted by ChocolateGirl

opps...sorry if I phrased that wrong. I was trying to say that many felt she was a pretty lady. So if you reminded that guy of her, he probably felt you were pretty, also.Originally Posted by ChocolateGirl
