Nice workout Valerie. I know what you mean about coming down from the "lifting high". I feel so good right after the workout. Now go get your protien to fix those muscles and help them GROW!!!!

YES!! I feel so good after my workouts! Then I come down and sleep like a baby... Got the protein in!! I am really wanting to pick up some mass and strength here for sure. I would love to compete again sometime in '05. (I can't believe I am saying 2005!! nooooooo not yet!) Nice to meet you John, btw! Val

Awesome job girl! I think Earl did more of a workout than me today. (I do have that pulled hamstring as an excuse though!!)

Like I told Earl girlie...IT IS OK!!! Man I went for a long time killing myself with guilt over missing workouts... two words...WASTED ENERGY!!! Creates too much negativity to get over. Heal up, then go back. Hey.... new name up there girlie? I like it! Val
