The workings of a bipolar mind.

Last night I started warming up for legs without my training partner. I wanted to get some lunges in since I knew I couldn’t do squats. My partner worked for an airline and he did something to his ankle last year jumping out of the plane. He’s been out on disability since last year so he can’t really do anything that will put pressure on his ankle. He got there just as I was done warming up. So I tell him I was getting ready to do walking lunges. He says ok, than he goes no let’s go here and do these first. I must have had a nasty look on my face cause he said, we’ll do lunges after. Ok, that’s cool. So we did supersets for hamstrings. Standing machine for 10 reps and than lying leg curls for 20 reps. He says go light so you can do 20 reps. Now my hamstrings are really weak compared to my quads. So I put it on 20lbs for lying. Curled my legs up and the bar went flying up and smacked me right in the a$$. Opps, too light. So I put it at 50 and it was comfortable. Didn’t feel any pressure on my back. Than we hit quads and calves. While we were doing calves he says ok lets do shoulders next. **GGGGRRRRRR** Where are my F~n lunges!! So he went to the restroom and while he was in there I got in a set of lunges. When he was working on his set of shoulders I was doing lunges. Tomorrow I’ll be training at my old gym with my girlfriend…..thank goodness. She’s like me, love to do more than 3 freakin exercises. So I’ll make up for what I missed this week. I am definately more of a leader than I am a follower so having someone "train" me is really hard. He’s going to change his days that he works out so I won’t have to train with him for much longer. Maybe a couple of days a week. **sigh of relief** He’s a great guy, he’s been training for a long time…..which I think is why his way of thinking is old school. Women with light weights. I’ve been doing my cardio before weights lately because I’m waiting for him to show up, but it drains me. So I’ve decided that I’m just going to go in a little later when I train with him and still do cardio after. This may sound stupid but I’ll be going to my old gym after for the cardio. They have a stair mill where this gym doesn’t. It’s only down the street and next door to my apartments so it’s not like I’m going out of my way.

 So I bought my soy protein last night to add to my regular protein. No fat or carbs in this one. And I really need the extra protein. But it has the same effect on me as tofu…….peeeeuuuuuuu! Even my dog looks at me with teary eyes. (I think it probably burns) Adding to my diet yesterday helped to bring my calories up to 1400 (instead of 1000), my carbs were at 100, and my protein at 150. Much better. I’ve built up some good muscles and I really don’t want to loose it all.

When I got home last night I checked my email and I had an email from a rep from Controlled Labs (love their stuff). They want me to test and blog about their new product REDuction! I was soo excited. This will help me with losing weight. I really do love their products. They’ve worked great for me. So I was so excited last night I could hardly sleep. I can’t weight…get it wait…weight…..uh, yeah. This is what lack of sleep does to me.
