I'm back!
Hey gang!
Does is seem like forever or is it just me?? This past week was just literally shot to he11. I went a whole week without being able to get to the gym and I am telling ya I felt it all over, mentally, physically, etc. But, it seemed that everyday I planned something, my life got in the way...HOWEVER...perisitance is the key and I got back there yesterday with Earl, it was his walk day so he was once again my personal trainer. I LOVE THAT!! Today he will be training too, so I can't have my pampering.... 
Oh well, I think I will live...I even got bruises on my shoulders and wrists from floor presses and my wraps...NOW THAT'S A SIGN OF A GOOD WORKOUT!!!
(man I sound sadistic don't I? 
)
Treadmill (change it up a little)
30 minutes, 1 3/4 mile. Got my heart rate up to 156, don't know how long I was in the "zone" but the incline was up to 7 and I was up to 3.5 mph...so there ya go.

I love Earl helping me. (I only go heavy when he's there to spot me) I don't know the weight amounts he is putting on the bar, and I just do what I can until I can't lift. Then I am really excited when I see what he has written down. I had a great workout yesterday.
Back to the gym today to work the legs! Have a great one ya'll!

Hiya Val,
Ok, ya got me-- what are floor presses and close grip lockouts? Way to get back to it when you can, girl! It's not whether you miss a day, but whether you get back in and work it! The easiest thing in the world to do is to miss a day, then two, then it's a week, and you say to yourself, "What the heck, it's already a week; so why not make it 2 weeks?" That's the temptation, and you obviously didn't fall for it! Big ole kudos to ya! 
I was flaring all day on Saturday and stayed away from the gym this time! Got back into it Sunday, though I wasn't 100% I felt 80%, and the workout went extremely well. Had a minor flare last night which kept me up so a little tired today, but better than yesterday. And today is LEG DAY again! I'm focused on getting in a good workout and I need to try to remember to stretch after so I don't go to bed overtight. I'm thinking that would help to mitigate the flares a bit.
Hugs, Donna E.
