Got to give G props for workout today.    She doesn't need to do anything to look fit (5'7"...116 lbs...) but mostly it's carefull diet and just being on her feet all day.   So she's thinking some strength training would be good.   Today with my workout she did:

25 pushups (knees)
10 pullups (with foot on stool for help)
60 situps
ran a mile
40 back extensions
50 speed aquats

It was nice of her to work out with me simply for help with my motivation.  Thanks, G.

Don't kid yourself, everyone NEEDS to have a regular exercise program.  It's just that some were gifted with wonderful hormones that don't let them pack on pounds like the rest of us.  She may be slender, but exercise doesn't hurt anyone!

And I completely agree with you.  Working out with others is way more fun than working out alone. 

Today begins my effort to kick the grains and sugar addiction.  I failed at lunch (had crashed at a friend's place last night and pizza was the only option), but I'm going to do my best to do this.  I'm going to do 3 weeks of my best effort of no sugar and no grains before I start following the Zone in a more dedicated way.  I'm tired of working out with this 20 lb weight vest strapped to my body.  It's time to rip off the rest of the fat suit.

That's why I said she doesn't need to do anything to look fit.   ;D

She used to run all the time but it's strength training which is going to show great results quickly for her.     hooray for tone.   [beer]

OOPS!!!  Maybe I should learn to read.   :-[ 

Yeah, definitely with such a low body fat percentage she's going to look cut pretty quickly if she's willing to lift heavy some of the time.  I'm still around 30% body fat and even I can see where my shoulders, chest, and legs are becoming more muscular.  And unlike what people seem to think, she won't end up looking like a body builder competitor unless she wants to.  Most CF girls are very much on the slender side.  It's awesome that she's getting motivated!  Working out as a couple has been so good for Stefan and me.

Been pretty lazy since last saturday, so I forced myself to get something in before my unexpected houseguest woke up. 

Started on week 3 of the 100 pushup challenge dealie.  It was demeaning to realize how much strength I have lost.  Oh well, makes getting better easier  ;D

200 varied crunches

2 mile slow run.  god I hate running.

Worked out yesterday, which sucked-the gym was closed.

Did I mention this sucks? Stupid health nonsense.

(Just for the record, I prefer to work out alone. I tend to take it as my time. I'm not at work, my girlfriend can't bother me, the phone doesn't ring, it is my time.)

Mothermake the beast with two backser the fitness center at the apartment was packed today. Normaly i'm the only one in there, today there was 6 people in there. The greenway where I run / bike was seemed busier than normal too, a lot of people kind of wondering around not really working out...

Luckily, all the New Years Resolution people will give up in a few weeks...

Cleans.  Ugh.  I love them, but I'm a wuss.  I can front squat 128, but for some reason I'm unwilling to get under the bar when it's only 83 lbs.  I can do 78, but I puss out on 83.   [bang]

Today it was:

Dead lifts (133 lbs)
Piked handstand push ups (20" box)
Jumping squats

21-15-9

9:46

Considering that less than 2 months ago 133 lbs was my dead lift max, I felt pretty good that I was able to kill 16 speed dead lifts without stopping and finished the last 5 of that set less than a minute into the workout.  Then getting myself upside down gave me a lesson in humility.  It wasn't purdy.

I'm much more afraid of cleans than jerks.  My jerk is higher than my clean.

You gotta be able to clean it to jerk it.
