I havent felt like working out but I need to get back at it. I hope I didnt lose to much muscle tone. I lost alot of weight All my clothes are way to big. Im hoping to now build muscle I dont think Ill be doing my HIIt for now cause im at a low inmy weight for my height at 5 7 and 119 pounds. Hope all is well with everyone. and that God gives you what you may be needing today!

My father passed away last thursday . He had  his aorta valve replaced and things went well then he had bleeding on his brain after two failed surgerys to remove it we decided to bring him home and had hospice come in .. he passed quickly and at peace. My father was a awesome christain man and He is singin up in heaven with jesus now..

My work outs have stopped becuz we have been at the hospital for a month  but now maybe I can start again. I hope i didnt lose to much muscle. i did however lose some weight .. See ya

Upper body as follows

bench press 12 10 8 6 12 reps with db then 12 rep flyes

bo shoulder raises same reps then shoulder presses

bo db pulls same reps then lat pull downs

Ok so I have been so good on eatting and I can see if paying off. I can see my abs coming out and all the muscles in fact. An you know what I feel good! I am so hungry lol So my metabolism is working. every 3 hours it gets stoked up. Its a dang good thing I love chicken and rice and the clean foods cause i have ibs and its what I need to eat anyways !

ok the past week and a half has been horrible.. and I need my weight trainging to feel good and be healthy. i havent been able to work out very good with all that is going on with my dad. BUT I am gonna find the time any ways i can becuz IAM IMPORTANT and so is my health. If it means working out late or very early I am gonna be there..

my dad is still in the hosptial its been a week and a half. he has had numerous tests done. yesterdayhe had a long needle putin betweenhis ribs and lungs and they with drew 2 liters of fluid. he had gained 30 pounds of water weight with his chf. They said today that he will have surgery june 29th . to replace two valves.. if he dont have it he might make 6 months if he does the percent of making it isnt that great. How heavy our hearts are over here.. so hard.. But we must keep our faith in the lord.. for he is good.. and just..
