Just getting caught up but your log is fun!! Ill be following along

[ms_mac]

I found you - don't know how I missed the new journal. So, let me get this straight - you were supposed to meet someone is Vegas and that person never showed???? And has not tried to contact you? So you were on vacation in Vegas by yourself??? That is totally ****ty!

We are leaving for Disney on the 4th - Sat morning. I am driving to Portland then flying from there. You are going to be there on the 7th? Please tell me you are not going alone this time? Where are you staying?

[gobbles23]

What an ass! Seriously, I'd be so mad!

Hi!!!

[beefcake66]

This 5x5 format looks somewhat familiar

Glad to see you're back hitting the weights, Beefy!

StrongLifts, brah

It's nice to be hitting them again, even if I did restart at the bar lol...

What did you do to your shoulder?

I didn't really do anything... apparently I have very loose shoulder ligaments, and doing proper bench presses makes my shoulder slightly dislocate, causing much discomfort and occasionally pain for days. My physiotherapist says I seem to be full of loosey-goosey joints lol

Just getting caught up but your log is fun!! Ill be following along

Thanks for stopping in! Enjoy the trip... hah

You got it right - up to the day before, everything was still a go. Then they disappeared off the face of the planet and didn't contact me whatsoever.

I'm flying out of Halifax on the 7th, and staying until early on the 13th! On a disney resort (I think) with a friend from Halifax, so they're not gonna ditch me... we have a verrryyy busy park itinerary planned, plus a few of my favorite bands are playing a show together TWO nights, and there's the PSP Paintball World Cup that I'm going to very much enjoy attending again We're thinking of taking a trip out to Tampa to hit up Busch Gardens as well!

What an ass! Seriously, I'd be so mad!

Hi!!!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaay

I'm quite livid about the Vegas thing - and they popped up on ******** for the first time last night, so I know they're not dead... they are indeed, one of the biggest a$$holes I know.

Hope you are having a great time.

[beefcake66]

So, Florida was good... but my phone got MESSED UP REAL BAD. REAL REAL BAD. Im getting a new one tomorrow I think! Right now it's barely useable and quite psychedelic, changing colors and doing funky patterns and light effects constantly.... yyeeeaaaa....

If I can recover anything from it I will share those pictures... and I gotta figure out how to share the vegas one still too... frig. Technology, why u so hard?

[gobbles23]

Damn technology! Good luck with getting it to work! That sucks about your phone. But yay for getting a new one! Was the one that got messed up relatively new or did you need a new one anyway??

My nice phone got stolen a couple years ago, so I've been using cheaper pay-as-you-go androids to fill the void since... this one I've only had for like 3 months or so! I'm still getting a relatively cheap phone... but it's free to me this time, woo! Looks like i'll be getting the HTC Desire.

Wednesday, October 15th


Weigh-In: 165lbs


Damage from vacation is minimal... but I'm definitely feeling chunky and weighed down! It's time to start shreddin..!

I'm joining the BSN Shred vs Bulk contest in hopes of actually making progress this time


Last night was my last turf session, we mostly did cardio type things. I think I convinced a few of the girls to move to the indoor track with me, but there's also something else that the teams working on. If the team plan comes through then that will help tremendously.

But... I'm running out of time!
Next surgeon appointment is October 24th.
HOPEFULLY I'll have my surgery booked for shortly after that, but with the way the system works here chances are I'll still have to wait many months, and end up missing all next football season and any chance at trying to make the national team for the next women's football world championship.

Sucks to be stressed by things that are out of my control

My knee is in very bad shape as well... Last night, I did most of the turf sesh with my brace on, and I took it off to do a few of our running repeats... afterwards I picked up the football and tried to launch it across the field... knee instantly seperated. I just twisted my body with it and went to the ground. No other damage done, just extremely unstable and uncomfortable. I felt it pulling apart with the brace on too when I was doing the runs. When I was in Florida, a wave from the ocean made it seperate. Couldn't play in the waves BOOOO.

Not much else to update right now... PLanning to get back to the workout routine soon, start doing regular cardio, and attempt to diet properly again. Birthday celebrations will be this weekend so... that'll be a write off haha

[beefcake66]

Also... I'm sick. Sinus cold? Mustve got it the day I was leaving florida, or on the flight home... UGH. UNIMPRESSED.

[beefcake66]

Yesterday was my birthday!

I spent the day getting xrays on my knee for the surgeon, getting my drivers license renewed, and buying fat pants. Cause I officially don't fit into any of mine anymore!! And I'm STILL sick.

So.. I was going to join the new challenge here on bodybuilding.com, but i totally missed the photo deadline so I'm just gonna try to get into a groove on my own (as I should!).

I have no clue if I'll continue the 5x5 right now, because my football team signed up for this team conditioning training program thats going to be twice a week. I'm not sure how intense it's going to be... so I'll have to plan my lifting accordingly. I think the 5x5 should be alright to run at the same time... but I may go training-ADD and switch it up.

Getting my diet back in order is #1 priority though... I've been sooooooooo bad. SO BAD.

Today is... day 1.... after my chinese food leftovers. And the 5 blocks of fancy cheeses sitting in my fridge.

[gobbles23]

Happy belated birthday!!!

You can do it!

If I were you (in regards to training) I'd just get to the gym when I could and do what I could. For now anyway until you get into the groove with your new football training schedule. Even getting there twice a week to lift with your activity level would be good Two full body workouts!

Mmm, chinese food and cheese.....

[beefcake66]

Being sick is a huge de-motivator for me I just want to rest forever. I'm gonna do my best to heal up by friday so I can hit the team class hard.

I know how you feel Being sick depresses me so bad, lol! I just want to crawl in bed and stay there. Resting up while you're sick though is good, that's what your body needs in order to get better I think it's smarter to rest and miss the half-assed workout than to push through, make it worse, and not get an intense workout in anyway.

[beefcake66]

I'm still sick, but I think I'm on the mend...

My diet is still not under control. Most of the bad-for-me leftovers are almost gone so hopefully I'll get the diet changed up successfully soon.

Weigh-In: 166.4lbs

A few updates:

Saw my knee surgeon today... No surgery date booked yet, I'm waiting for a phone call from her secretary. I am on a cancel list so theyre going to get me in as soon as they can. The surgeon and her assistant both tested my ACL and cringed at how loose it was. And noted that my left quad is extremely small/weak and I should work on strengthening it as best I can before the surgery.

Football training tonight! First session was Monday, I missed it since it was on my birthday. So tonight is the second session for the group, but first for me! It's a sport/team/group training facility with a bunch of power racks and fancy things for training, and a bit of open "field" in the middle to do other things. I'm looking forward to it!

Late as usual, but definitely in!

Love the hair btw!

[beefcake66]

Alright... so backtrack a week:

Monday was football group training.

Friday the group training was cancelled and I didn't know until a few hours before I was gonna go... so that saved me some time.

I spent the weekend away so I didn't get my regular Saturday workout in, and I slacked off all last week (so busy).

So.. back to this week.

THE PLAN

Monday - Football Group Training
Tuesday - Lifting?
Wednesday - CARDIO.
Thursday - Lifting?
Friday - Football Group Training
Saturday - LIFTING.
Sunday - Cardio.

I gotta fit meal prep into Monday somehow.

Must. Start. Dieting. Seriously.
