NotTooLate’s Boring Ramblings ;)

I went up in deadlift weight from 80 lbs to 100 pounds and in my bent BB rows from 55 pounds to 60 lbs. I am pretty happy! I don’t want to increase too fast on these because I have to make sure I have really strong back muscles to hold the weight so I dont damage my spinal discs more than they are now.
The bad news is that I have gone back down to 17.5 on the curls grrrrrrrrr I tried to do 20 pounds and I couldn’t cut it. I  must have just had an extra strong day last time or maybe the increase in the deadlift weight deceased my ability to curl the weight that I had added last week. Don’t know but hoping in a few weeks it will go up again.

I have upped my curls today from 1X10@17.5 pounds to 3X10@17.5 pounds and then 3X5@20 pounds.  It’s a first making it to 20 pounds. I feel like Superwoman lol

This was a memorable day. My X boyfriend said that I have noticeably more muscle in my arms than I did a couple of months ago and then he made me lift my top so he could look at my back and he said there is lots more muscle in my back too and that I have a nice tapered V shape starting there. He said I can’t notice it because I see myself every day but he can see it. Woooooooohoooooo I don’t know if it’s true but I hope so!!! lol

I started at 165 and I am now 129 lbs! 36 pounds of ugly fat gone! woohoooooooo!!! lol Now I must work on my new goal of gaining lots of muscle! I want the loose skin filled out with new muscle and I want some serious definition in my arms by next summer. I AM GOING to do it. Amazon warriors get ready for me! lol

Most of you here have inspired many people to work out but this is the first time that I have been told that someone is going to start going to the gym because of seeing my progress For months now I have been talking to my very overweight friend and trying to get her to eat clean so that eventually she could get to a gym and get her life back. I have NOT succeeded in moving her even one iota. Very depressing. However, her housekeeper that comes in once a week has told her that my progress is so dramatic and inspiring that SHE is going to start eating clean and going to the gym! Yay! lol At least someone is getting the message
