My neighbors friends are selling yellow lab puppies and they had them all out front today 2 females and 4 males. We are considering getting a one, but I still have some mixed feelings. They are so cute. We’ll see I guess. We’ll probably cave, as long as we only come home with one

Great workouts the past 2 days. Do to it being summer and my last week at work before vacation last week was not good (all those commitments that seem to crop up {horrible excuse -and I know it doesn’t cut it}), but … ok it’s my fault.

But chest/bi’s and back went great. My weights are going up, forms good, and I have no pain in the gym in the neck or head (more from trying to read at the beach).

I haven’t busted out my belt or straps yet. I’m hesitant that I’ll overdo it, but I also know that I will make better gains. We’ll see…

I cracked. I had to check the weather. Couldn’t wait. It should be nice and close to beach weather everyday. Getting through Friday is going to drag!!

One more day of work and VACATION. I have nothing planned just the beach, if this rain would just go away. I’m afraid to check the forecast and risk finding out my week off will be a wash (literally).

I’ve been having great workouts lately, weights are pretty steady, but staying in the 6-10 rep range and feeling great afterward. Still cleaning up my diet, which is pretty good, but could improve (it will come, and I think I said that before) I couldn’t figure it out today I needed to do bent-over BB rows and since the the area with the set bars was so crowded (rainy Thursdays = people go to the gym) so i went to use a long bar. PROBLEM — between the benches and the racks my gym should have at least 13 bars — today there were 5. Good thing it wasn’t Monday or Tuesday who knows what people would be doing. I’ll go tomorrow and they’ll all be back. Sometimes i think I’m going crazy.

Legs tomorrow. Good and heavy is the plan and I plan on doing lunges (for the first time in who knows how long). I hate lunges. i always wobble no matter how frequently I do them, but gotta get the backside going to.

Now back to puppy sitting and watching SYTYCD -my one tv vice.

Every 2 weeks it’s great I get an e-mail from admin saying I haven’t done a body blog. So I’ll do one today and someday maybe I’ll do them so I don’t get reminders anymore. I know it’s here for me, I’m here almost daily or at least to enter a workout :0

So what’s up with me. I’ve been back in the gym fairly consistently and my weights have gone up. No headaches, or any complaints physically. I only wish I could get where I wanted to be as so much quicker even though I know better. My diets cleaning up nicely and I’ve again adjusted to being fairly strict with what I take in (this didn’t take as long as I thought, but than again I’ve always been pretty good, I just had more frequent cheat moments when I wasn’t lifting.

The fun part is I now have some time of coming up. A great four day weekend, a couple of BBQs than back for 3 days of work before I have a whole 9 days off. Beach - Here I come!!!!! And I’ll get my tan back, not that lobster look I have in 1 of my pics.

Well back in this week. Had an incredible back/bi routine yesterday. Todays chest workout was only so-so. Everyonce and a while I try to do chest the day after back. It never works, I have no idea what I was thinking to do it this week. It went well, but I believe it would have been much stronger if I had done it differently. My plan is to work things out so that I do lats/traps one day with back the next and do chest later in the week. I should be able to work this out into next week. I also decided to do tris with lats/traps this week since the workout felt weak and my tris are defineitly a weak point so I didn’t feel it would have worked well today. (So Saturday it is)

Tomorrow I get to do do legs (my second favorite next to back). Which is a good thing since my legs were still sore on Tuesday from last Fridays workout  . I plan on adding in more exercises for hamstrings. I mayhave to add them in on a different day with something else. We’ll try it tomorrow and see how it all falls together.
