whoa, congrats!
Nice job! You’ve made some very impressive progress!
^ yep, three years in the making of progress! 
Wooo! Not long until you can get them done up, from the look of it.
^ oh, I can get them buttoned, but with a considerable amount of fluff hanging over. I’ll try again in two weeks
That jeans pic is pretty stunning. Numbers on a scale pale in comparison to the skinny jean test!
That’s awesome!! Look at how all your hard work paid of. Good job MIM.
you are rockin’ it MIM. this is great to see your progress!
Thanks girls 
Trying to remain focused and positive today…
My husband was given the choice to ‘volunteer to go,’ or roll the dice and wait two weeks to do this mess all over again…there are 6 more billets coming up…
If he volunteers he can choose between Cuba or Afghanistan…he’s going with Afghanistan. He’s heard too many horrible things about the prisoners down in Cuba flinging poo day in and day out, he doesn’t think he could hang with that…
But I asked him, wouldn’t wiping poo off be easier to deal with, than dodging bullets?
It’s official!
He’ll leave in June for two months of training…come home for leave 8/18-27th…leave 8/28 and come 5/29/11
I guess it’s best to decide now, rather than wait to be told…still sucks…but at least now we know!
Off to the gym to take my anger out on a barbell…
So sorry to hear that MIM, but like you said, at least he was able to make the decision himself and take some control over the situation. I hope the time flies by & he’s home safe & sound before you know it.
^ Thanks…the good thing is, is that he aint gone yet! We have to prepare, get the house in order, do fun things etc…
Found something to fuel my training:mad:
Squats x a million x 115(up from 95lbs)
chin ladders- up to 8, up to 6, up to 6, up to 4, up to 4, up to 3, 3, 2,2,1
This took awhile!
Tried out 135 with the squat…it had been awhile…think it went well…
Tricep oh ext- 20lbs(+5lbs) 60(+20reps) reps in 10 min
Barbell complex- 65lbs on all sets:mad:
yep
Squats look damn good! I’m sorry about your husband . . . I’m glad you have your lifting to focus on!

put some weight on the bar!!
You walked that out like it was cardio, great looking squat.
Nice getting back into your 8s - just don’t rock the muffin top! That is never cute.lol
Thanks all, I appreciate it! Being angry in the gym does wonders. 
I can’t even remember the last time I attempted 135…and that was after doing 14 sets of 2 with 115!
Im still chasing that 225squat by years end, and 300 DL? 
ya, that sounds good…I’ll be happy!!
MIM, I’m sorry about hubby’s deployment. That bites.
Take the angry out on the squat bar and put more weight on it! Bodyweight squat, at least – if I can do it, so can you.
Great looking squat! I’m with the other ladies, put some more weight on that bar!
sorry to hear about your husband’s deployment. i’m glad you took that energy and hit those squats, way to go!
