Ok, so my workout buddy was right……taking a week off from lifting once in a while can help with my progress :)  Spent last week on vacation out of state and didn’t get a single work out in.  :(  At first I was disappointed that the hotel stated they had a ‘fitness’ room, only to find out it was Cardio Bunny heaven with only a few free weights and one bench!  (That’s a ‘fitness’ room???  LOL)  Also, I had a fractured, bruised foot from dropping a barbell plate on it the Thursday before, so I took the week off, almost unwillingly :(

I was jonsing to get back into the gym Monday night!  And even thought I was still alittle jet-lagged, my workout was good.  Upped the weight on almost all my arm exercises, and did the same again tonight with my back exercise. WooHoo!   This girl is ready to start lifting heavier and hitting the gym hard!

Today was chest day.  Not my strongest bodypart.  Whoever used the bench press before me had waaaayyyy more weight on it than I figured I could press.  So I grabbed the 45# plast and slide it toward me to get it off the bar…..when the 10# plate IN FRONT of the 45# plate fell off and slammed into my right foot!   ZOMG!!!  That HURTS!!!!

Morale of the story: LIFT HEAVY Girls!  :-)

One of my goals was to Master Pullups Damnit! :)  Started out not being able to do a single one.  Began doing negatives, working on strength.  After a bit I was finally able to get up there!!  Today, I banged out 5!  Yup! FIVE 5 pullups!

=) Thanks Geek!!!  Wouldn’t have been able to do it without you!
