i feel great this morning! i slept in until 10am....very very awesome! hubby is at work and the kids were all in my oldest sons room playing Monopoly, so the house was quiet and i took advantage of it bigtime! gotta LOVE sleeping in!

as soon as i got up i heated up some leftover steak from last night with 1 scrambled egg+3 egg whites and had 1 slice of whole wheat toast. since i will be lifting quad dominant today i feel its in my best interest to have a few carbs...i have basically decided that low carb is fine and dandy for some but i can no longer eat as low carb as i thought i could. i will simply wrap my carbs around my workouts like i had before and just deal with being patient with the scale weight...i dunno why i got all bent out of shape last week...oh wait...PMS...hahhahaaa....YUP...seems to me like i forgot how happy i was losing inches....i always forget how unimportant the scale weight is....seems like if i would just chill out and be a little patient i will eventually lose the scale weight too right?

we will see....

i did notice that i am one of those people who needs STRUCTURE in my eating life...i went a little nuts last week giving myself too much leeway...didnt lose even ONE inch....sucks!!

so the new plan is as follows....pre and post wo carbs on lifting days...low carb on non lifting days...low gi carbs on upper body lifting days...high gi on leggie days....we will see how this goes for a few months and then reasses...

ill be back after the workout!

i will simply wrap my carbs around my workouts

It's what I'm doing but, I find I could still use A LOT more carbs!! LoL

I'm just playing with this method for a while only cause I wanted to change things up a bit.

Do what you feel works best for you hun. I think you are doing fantastic!!

Plus you are losing inches and that's excellent!! :winkthumb

Hugs to ya,

pammiejoe6 · 09-18-2005, 08:02 PM

whew...ive been BUSY today! got a hair up my butt and decided to rearrange and deep clean the living room...OMG...what PIGS i live with...hahahaa...there was so much CRAP under the couches i dont even want to get into it! the kids and i had a LONG talk about what is ok to throw behind the couch and whats NOT....LMAO ( of course NOTHING is ok to throw behind the couch...hahahaha)
anyhooo it looks FANTASTIC in here now....i love it when its super clean AND different yanno? has a nice feel to it.

in about 20 minutes i will take my dose of NE and then about an hour after that i will do quads.

the Texans are getting their asses kicked by the Steelers...i am embarrassed... :mask: ...at least we just scored a touchdown finally....although it seems like a losing battle with the way the offense is playing. we're still 2 touchdowns behind.... :weaps:

ok...just checking in....HI D!! hehehee....

ill be back after the workout!

dnyc99 · 09-18-2005, 09:16 PM

Hey babe...have a kick a$$ workout!!

I'm doing mine tonight.

Have a great day..

~D~

pammiejoe6 · 09-18-2005, 10:56 PM

OK!!! just finished my workout and i feel like a zillion bucks! whohoooooooo!!

Quad dominant legs w/ biceps:

ATF squats: 6x4@140lbs

leg extentions: 5x5@110lbs

leg curls: 4x12@40lbs ( hammie accessory)

barbell curls: 6x5@54lbs

hammer curls: 5x6@20lbs

db curls: 5x5@20lbs

started with the squats of course....i was a little distracted because hubby was home and laying on the couch watching me, but i zoned him out and soon he got up and went into the bedroom to watch football...guess my grunting was distracting HIM from the game...bwhahahahaa....i am really happy with my squats today...i felt SOLID and never once doubted that i would make the rep.

decided to do leg extentions today...used 110lbs and they felt great! no prollems there either!

leg curls as my hammie accessory today...did the 4 sets of 12 with pointed toes and held at the ass for a sec....by the 4th set my hammies were screaming for mercy! very very kewl!

moved into bicep curls next...used 54lbs and was able to complete all 6 sets of 5, although that last set was EXTREMELY difficult and i have to admit i cheated a tiny bit by swinging my arms a little on the last 2 reps...LOL

hammer curls went perfect...i lie these...seems like i feel these in my biceps AND my rear delts....

last i did db curls...i was feeling great by now and these actually felt easy!! YAY! hahahahha

i am pleased as pie to have gotten in this workout today...after all the cleaning i did this morning i was a little tired, and then hubby came home and i almost didnt workout...but i took my dose of NE and felt that natural energy come on me about an hour later and decided what the hell...hehehehe....im so glad!!

tomorrow will be a rest day/low carb day...hubby is off and we will have a lunch date....yippeeeee! FUN!

hope everyone is doing great! ill be back later to snoop around...right now i wanna go have a shower and try on these new boxer briefs i bought for myself! theyre SO CUTE...i hope they fit! :fingersxd

dnyc99 · 09-19-2005, 03:34 AM

I thought you had gone to bed already Pammie. I was thinking to myself...'Wow she sure is going to bed early today. I wonder why??'

pammiejoe6 · 09-19-2005, 02:59 PM

morning!

well today is hubby's day off so i wont be on the computer much...we have a date! YAY!

i am a little sore this morning...mostly in my forearms...wrist area...it sorta feels like a constant ache there in the front part of my wrists....like if i turn my arms over where the tender side is they are sore all the way from my wrist area up to my elbows! perhaps increased vascularity? or perhaps those barbell curls at 54lbs got me good...hell, i dunno...all i know is i am sore there and its weird! hahahhaaa

have a great day! ill be back later!!

pammiejoe6 · 09-20-2005, 02:12 AM

what a fun day! but im exhausted so i will fill you all in tomorrow!!

pammiejoe6 · 09-20-2005, 02:36 PM

man what fun hubby and i had yesterday!

after i dropped the kiddos off at school i got back home and collapsed back in bed...my arms were hurting me in a weird way...like on the soft side of my wrists all the way up to my elbows they were sore and tender to the touch...i am thinking it was from those 54lb barbell curls...hahhaa....

anyhooo i relaxed while hubby went outside and trimmed on of the huge trees in the front yard. he's stressing a little about the Hurricane Rita and wants to get those limbs trimmed so if we do have strong winds one of them wont collapse into the house or on the carport. so he was out doing that for a little while. after that he came in and asked if i wanted to go to walmart with him...of course! so we went and he bought me a few new bras and a few more pairs of those boxer briefs i bought the other day. girls lemme tell ya...these things are the bomb! they are super comfy and look GREAT! i bought XL and they fit perfect....i am thrilled! for so many years i honestly didnt even buy undies cuz i couldnt fit my fat bootie in them comfortably...but NOW i want TONS of them! heheheee...and the sports bras he bought me are super kewl too! YAY what a sweety!

after wally world we went home and i modeled the undies for him...LOL...and then i dyed my hair while he worked a little longer on the tree branches. i decided the other day when it was grandparents day and my son adam said " its ok...you can act like my gramma....you look old with that grey hair anyway mommy....just walk slow..." bwhahahahahaaaa......that i needed to dye my hair again....LMAO....so i am pleased to say i no longer have any grey left showing. funny thing is not even ONE kid noticed i had dyed it when they saw me after school! hahahahahaaa

ok...so lets see...after the hair dying and getting ready to go out to lunch...we drove to Houston. it was a little early to go to lunch still, so we went to Lowe's hardware store for a shut off valve for one of our leaky faucets. we found some 12x9 vinal flooring on sale for only $10...cut down from $40...so we snagged a roll of that too! yay!! and then we went to Chili's and ate lunch. i had a yummy new York Strip w/ salad and veggies! soooo good!

once we got home we started to take everything out of the laundry room so we could redo the floor with the new vinal...gawd what a job! i had no idea i had so much CRAP in there! amazing how much things accumulate. hahaha

after we got the fllor in we moved the washer and dryer in and realized that the previous owners had taken all the hoses off the washer and the PLUG off the dryer. UGH! luckily we were able to take everything off the old ones we had, so it all worked out. guess i know why it was only $50 for the set! LMAO...i didnt even think to look for a plug or hoses when i bought them! but it all worked out and we got everything set up and i did a few loads of laundry! TOO KEWL!

today i am faced with all this crap i pulled OUT of the laundry room!! hahahha i have TONS more laundry to do too....so i will be busy busy busy all day today! no biggie...it looks so nice in there now i am thrilled and want to go through all the stuff and take more to donate to the katrina relief place. makes me feel good to donate things, even if they arent new yanno?

speaking of Hurricanes....Rita is now a hurricane...and so far all the computer models show it coming right at galveston! scarey! everyone in galveston is waiting to hear of they will have to evacuate....they are making those people who dont have transportation reserve a place on buses so they can be transported out. all of them are being taken up north of us....since all the hotels in houston are still full with Katrina people theres no room in houston...so they are going even farther north. we live about 50 miles west of houston, but only 2 hours from galveston, so we will definitely get some rain and stuff from the storm if it hits full on. its kinda scarey, but i also know it wont be like it was for those people in NO....we're not surrounded by water...haha...i am sure we will get high winds and lots of rain. my mom has offered to let us all come to her house if things get too bad, but i think we will be fine. we will see how strong it becomes and what path it stays on yanno? it is nice to know we can go to her house though if we need to.

course i dunno if by the time we decided to go we would feel comfortable driving 50 miles to her house yanno? hahaha

well...id better get to it and work work work....i may or may not lift today...all depends on how fast i get this laundry room put together!

have a great day all!

dnyc99 · 09-20-2005, 04:51 PM

Hey Pammie babes,

Hope you're have a great day...even with the loads of laundry you are doing! LoL

So hun...hope you get all caught up on laundry soon.
