Hey Pammie!!! You are too much!! I wish you could bottle some of that enthusiasm and send it to me. And because it's so potent, I could take a tsp then bottle and resell the rest and become a bazillionnaire!

As a classic and chronic "starter-overer", I totally feel where you're coming from. Personally, I feel that we're allowed as many do overs as we need, as long as we don't quit.

Um, that tongue smiley is pretty cool. I was noticing it this morning. I wonder if I can get him to come over? It is a male smiley . . . isn't it? :lick:

gawd i love it when im all alone at home....LOL....its SO QUIET and i can do whatever i want without having to explain it and without getting interrupted every few seconds with a shrill "MOM!!!! HE HIT ME!" "MOM!! She's lying! " hahahahaaaaa.....
i have fantastic kids....theyre FULL of energy and spirit and i know they will all do just fine in this world....now all I have to do is SURVIVE raising the little farkers! hahahaaa

pammiejoe6

well hell...i have been advised by my docotor to NOT take the Dicana since i might have some sort of thyroid issues.....the dicana messes around in that area so its not really sensible to test it on my body at this time. i feel totaly silly about having to stop when i just got started...but i have to think about my body and not do anything that i think would make me sick right? right....so thats that....so sorry!


but its not gonna stop my progress...im gonna keep going just as if i AM testing a supplement.

pammiejoe6

another successful day!

things got switched up a tad but thats ok...at least i got in a workout and my food was spot on! yay!

i got called over to the neighbors house to work for about 5 hours today...the other lady that works there called and asked me to come over and help her do a few things, so my quad workout will just have to come tomorrow instead of tonight......right when i got home tonight though i got dressed in my sweats and went out and did a HIIT, so i feel really good about how today went!

Hi Pammie,

A burger, a chicken breast and 3/4 cup of cottage cheese? A half of a cup of bean soup? What is that, 2 tablespoons? You got some protein, but not much else in nutritional value for 1800 calories. Where is the salad, fish, oatmeal and green veggies. This is not just about losing weight. You need nutritional food for health, energy and body repair as well.

It is a start. Congratulations on that, now work on getting more nutritional value for your 1800-2000 calorie per day buck.

hahaha yeah yeah i know i know...but like you said its a START....i promise to try harder today Rad...i just got home from the grocery store and bought all kinds of stuff to eat!!

Thanks so much for coming in dude! I appreciate and respect your opinion greatly!

pammiejoe6

I DID IT!

i am so proud of myself! ;D

Quad dominant workout with biceps :

ATF Squats : 2x4@124lbs, 4x4@129lbs
Lunges : 2x5@BW, 3x5@5lbs each db
SLDL : 3x10@104lbs <-- hammie accessory
barbell curls : 3x5@54lbs, 2x5@49lbs
drag curls : 4x8@34lbs
db curls : 1x5@20lbs, 4x5@15lbs

I started with the ATF squats today....did the first 2 sets of 4 with 124lbs and realized I could most likely up the weight a tad and still keep form, so I added on 5 more lbs and went with the 129lbs for the last 4 sets. I would ALSO like to say I initially planned to only do 5 sets of 4 but after the 5th set I added on one last set of 4 for good measure and felt FANTASTIC about it! whohohoooooooo!
Lunges were next....I actually had planned to do leg extentions after squats , but I decided to go for it and do the lunges instead because I knew they were more difficult and I would benefit more than if I woosed out and only did the extentions ....LOL...I was really pumped after the squats going so well!!
I started out using only my bodyweight on the lunges , but after the first 2 sets of 5 I decided to grab a 5lb dumbbell in each hand and do the last 3 sets of 5 with that. I gotta tell ya....THESE TOTALLY KILLED ME! 8)
for my hammie accessory I chose SLDL . I used 104lbs on these and REALLY got a most fabulous burn in my hammies EACH SET! I LOVE IT!
After the leggie stuff I moved on to biceps . I started with barbell curls today....I used 54lbs for the first 3 sets of 5 but had to lower to 49lbs for the last 2 sets....man did my biceps get a HAYOGE pump during these! MAN i LOVE my biceps ! hehehehehee
drag curls followed...I used 34lbs for these 4 sets of 8 but I think next week I can definitely up the weight a little more....
db curls were last....I started with the 20lb db but got a "twinge" in my right shoulder so I lowered the weight to 15lbs and had no other "twinges"....very kewl!

GREAT WORKOUT! I am totally stoked!

SUCCESSFUL DAY! Im pleased with how everything turned out.... Quad workout went FANTASTIC and eats were on track! YAY!

nighty night! im exhausted!

pammiejoe6

Verticle Push/Pull:

Back , shoulders , and calves

assisted pullups : 5x4@BW
BB rows : 6X4@104lbs
DB pullovers : 4x6@45lbs
Rotator Cuff Prehab :
BB cuban press : 1x6@29lbs, 2x6@24lbs
L-lateral raise : 1x8@10lb each db
side laying db abduction to 45 degrees : 2x10@10lbs
rear delt raises : 2 drop sets (8/4) @ 5lbs/ 7 1/2 lbs
seated calf raises : 3x20@104lbs

I started with the assisted pullups ....im not any good at these yet...i cannot even pull my whole body up over the bar without help, but i am sure one of these days once i lose a little more weight i will be able to do them unassisted.
bb rows followed....i alternated between the suppinated and pronated grip on these....all went VERY well and i will most likely up the weight next week.
db pullovers were next...these went GREAT and were actually really HARD by the 5th rep of each set....i like these a lot!
next instead of regular shoulder work i decided to do my rotator cuff prehab stuff....since my shoulder has been giving me trouble i feel its very important to baby it and do this prehab as much as i can. i was aching my the time it was all over, but i know i did some good...i could feel it!
last were the seated calf raises ....i used a fairly light weight on these and did higher reps....by the time i was done with the 3 sets of 20 my calves were screaming!! hahahaaa


I feel GREAT!

Lift

Your workouts always kick ass !!
Im in shock those BB Rows are HEAVY
