awww, poor baby. Drink chicken broth or have soup with chicken broth in it. That always makes me feel better when I have a cold or the flu.

Sorry to hear this. Load up on vitamin C. Hope you feel better soon.

Hey guys,

Thanks again for coming by to listen to me whine

but enough of that!

Rad, I am going to grocery store tomorrow to get that chicken broth...stockin' up, brother

dbflgrl, I just popped a couple of tabs of Vit C and will continue to do so until I am fully recovered.

Good news, my shoulder injury is about 90% recovered. I have almost full range of motion back. I have the occasional twinge still, but I will be getting back to my workouts as soon as I am over this flu thing. I am dying to get back into action.

The other day, this man, who is a regular at my gym, asked me if I was still into "bodybuilding" (I am sort of known as the muscle chick at my gym..hehehe) anyways, I told him about my injury and how I am taking a bit of time off from lifting. Knowing that the regulars see me as "the bodybuilding type" made me just want to pick up the first pair of dumbbells I saw and just give 'er

Well, I gotta finish up my coffee, cruise your journals, then get some cardio done. Later

**NewSpawn** · 03-01-2007, 11:19 PM

JJ!!

Wow, Sorry I had no idea you were suffering from a shoulder injury as well. I'm glad to hear you are on your way to full recovery!!

Mine is totally screwed up...it hurts doing shoulder work and I have to work with the pain of it during all my sets.

I have to get to physio and pray they can fix my shoulder.

Isn't it funny JJ...back at SG we were just about the only girls into heavy lifting. Glad you're still ruling the place and showing em' how it's done!!

I'm still missing our 'coffee times' together. Those were them good ol' days. Summer was awesome back in Van.

Oh btw..Steve still remembers Hugo and you. He was talking to DF and I in the car the other day and said "Remember your friend with the little doggie?" "The doggie at the park was eating all the food". LoL

So tell lil Hugo his buddy says "hi!".

Hugo is such a cutie pie.

Keep up the great work JJ!! I better get my cardio done today too.

TTYL,

Hugs

Hey guys,

Miss Dee

My shoulder injury was just a minor sprain on the ligament which seems to be fully healed now! Yay! I'm sorry to hear you have a chronic, ongoing condition. Get that looked after, doll.

I miss our "coffee talk" too. Nowadays, I just have my coffee in the breakroom with the lifeguards...not nearly as exciting, although I do hear some juicy gossip from time to time. hahaha

P.S. I will give Hugo some kisses from Steve!

Spawny, Thanks for letting me vent. You guys are the best!

So, I gotta get my shizz together now that my injury is fully healed. I have been doing light bandwork on the upper body and body weight exercises on the lower body...squats and lunges. On the last leg workout I did, I got some wicked DOMS in my glutes. I am going to do some legs and thrash my glutes today too. Then, off to study, I have another midterm exam coming up again.

BTW, if you guys want to see the lastest training techniques I came across on the net, check this out:

Fitness Anywhere: The New Revolution in Bodyweight Training

TRX training, baby, Its where its at! I will doing this stuff this summer, after I purchase the pack.

**dbflgirl** · 03-05-2007, 02:01 PM

What the heck is the first guy doing in that video? I think that would kill me.

Looks like fun, though, and a break from the same ole. Of course, it's too darned hot here to think about working out outside in the summer, but maybe next winter, such as it is...

JJ_Sungirl · 03-08-2007, 08:58 AM

Hopefully winter is coming to end here soon..

rain, rain, rain and more rain...

Just wrote another mid-term exam. Got another grade back...so far been getting high B's and A's

. No time to exercise recently, been cramming. Won't have another exam for a month, so I will try to get back to lifting and boxing ASAP, since I am not sick or injured anymore. Will update again tomorrow. Good night. Sorry so brief.

Awesome work on the marks so far JJ!! Glad to hear your 100% healthy again too, rest was good for you.

pammiejoe6 · 03-08-2007, 02:26 PM

WTG on the grades mama! woot!

soooo good to hear youre feeling better!

GameDayDog · 03-08-2007, 03:37 PM

Yeah, those ab crunches whyle supporting your upper body with your arms looks hella challenging... the other stuff didn't look as tough, but then again, you can never underestimate the effectiveness of bodyweight training... I know I'd lose weight instantly with the $200 package fee... Gooney-Goo-Goo!!

Wassup my videogame advysor... I'm not gonna tell everyone that your shoulder was hurting due to Wii Sports..

... I'm glad u're feelin' back up to par and congrats on the grades as well...

Peace..~G

**dbflgirl** · 03-09-2007, 02:21 PM

Hey guys!

dbflgirl, thanks for dropping by! You have a good weekend too

Romanaz, have you seen the preview for Super Mario Galaxy?

Its incredible. I'll be lining up to buy this game!

Last night, I designed a new exercise program, much like the one I was one before. I will doing compound exercises, with a 4 day split and boxing 1 day a week. I''l throw in some PWO cardio 3 days out of the 4 I will be lifting.

Can't wait to get to it

**romanaz** · 03-10-2007, 04:25 AM
