Staying healthy and uninjured are really good 2011 goals. They are mine as well.
I’m so glad you are feeling improved!
Just checking up on you–you’re feeling well I hope? All the best in 2011!
thanks kimba and nadia! I’m feeling OK–just. My hips hurt still, and my back’s kinda wonky.but its getting better!
I did cardio yesterday and feel much better. The day’s off training were fine, but i get stiff when i don’t do anything at all…so the cardio actually helped.
I’m waiting …waiting…waiting for my freaking gym to open so i can go in. NEW YEARS.
i hate this part of my life. The waiting for everything…for everyone to wake up, to open, to be a reasonable time to get a hold off… Being on night schedule i do that ALOT.
The gym’s one place i could always go to…except holidays…BOOO!! Its tasking. waiting. waiting. waiting! its hard on my days off especially, i can never really plan things because i can’t really factor in how long i’ll last. or if the place is open! … because the chill meet up we would have planned at 10 am, for me is a feat of endurance. …because I’ve been up since 11pm the night before…with hours and hours WAITING.
forget it if its after 10am-12pm as well. I might be awake and fine for ten minutes then totally not, might be completely incoherent and unable to drive a car much less enjoy things because i’m so tired…sigh. Waiting seven hours to eat because I want to go to go out with someone… its why i make the big bucks–and piss people off for flaking on plans :{
Call me an asshole…but new years’ means the gym should be open! ha! oh well. I’m enjoying the night off,so i guess its only fair.
!!!WOW!!! Bitching already! ha ha! :D…sigh…on i go to wait…2 more hours…
My gym is…although I’m not planning on going. But it seems a good time for people to kick off their resolutions.
i know! open openopenopenopen!
Happy New Year! Brute, have you considered coming off night-shift for a little while? A break might be a good thing.
HAHA! You’re insane! Thank god that gym opened, I would’ve had to had to stage a gym-tervention. 
Happy New Year bruty!
have you thought about a 24hour gym?
Happy New Year brute!
Not all people are as determined as you Brute!
Happy New Year!
“openopenopenopen” bahaha I used to bartend from 10p-5a, I totally get where you’re coming from. I used to sit in the parking lot of my breakfast place waiting for it to open.
In your videos from about a week ago are those mens lucky charms boxer shorts? I think I have a pair of the same ones. Good lifts btw.
wow that is some great numbers for overhead squatting. i’m going to start working these seriously now, but i expect it will take me a loooong time to catch up 
hey kimba! -yes…I have considered changing to a different shift, if i did that however i would not want to work at my current clinic during the day, which i used to do years ago… I just need to get to that breaking point…where i will end up doing it.
I know i can’t do graveyards forever, its been about 4 years of it with a five month break in between…its great for me, but bad for me too for my solicitation skills :{ which are questionable at best!
hey maschy and soldog!–that’s why i was so upset! its 24 hour hour fitness! but the holidays it closed! LAME!
thanks nikki and bobbi:) I am the mervyn’s lady for sure. ALOT
hey sufiandy–why yes,they are my lucky charm boxers. they have marshmallow power:)
thank you alexus!! I am going to have to give olys stuff a good college try this year. I am jealous of your technical skills! i need to give it a go.
the last few days have just been cardio…and yesterday/monday some benching( 100x10x5sets)
I over estimated my healing ability apparently, or underestimated the strain or whatever i did. I’m still not right 
I’ve come to terms with the fact that the gym is not going anywhere…more importantly every weekend and workout are not going to be banner ones. i need to slow the hell down before i jump back into things.
I did not fully appreciate just how thrown off the buildup and wind down the December meet would do to me! I went into it fairly low key,…but I guess that’s how it goes? geez! those things are tasking! I have to give so much more credit and respect for the veteran competitors–> its hard! and i’m not even a fraction of the amount of professional and serious as you guys are!! its…worth it…but…yeah, it was worth it
I believe i pushed it too fast and too much trying to get back to pr’s and numbers i had right up to it. which i was WARNED not to do! but of course i had to try 
So now I convalesce, putter with cardio to keep from being a complete stiff hunk of wood-- a little bit more. and take it slow. I have tried just the bar for some squats and deads, ok so far…i am fairly fearful, and am going to go slooow. i hate that old lady stiff awful i was this week 
work was a nightmare, since i do quite a lot of holding, lifting, and hauling and physical Steve Irwin type wrestling with beasts there as well…bleh.
OH! and a massage in the next few days
DAMM! But good thing is my arms feel fine, so if i get too angst-y i can blow upper body stuff out. which i definitely should. My arms really are not impressive. I was looking at em the other day…they could be far more impressive…
massage sounds exactly like what you need, and well deserved.
And a little brotard arm excitement never hurt anyone
It always amazes me how much a meet takes out of me, and I always underestimate it too.
oh n! i am lucky…i got 4 hours of free massage gift cards for my b-day and yes! i even did curls today–and tricep extensions (!)
hey PMPM–MY god are you right. Its worth it…but man…pricey too :{

x a brazillion.
ok not always bc ive done only 1, but jeebus kreest it made me feel like a child.
just sleep, brute. lots of it and foam rolling and you’ll be yourself again.
Recovery can be a mean little bitch. Sleep is a great idea, and soon you’ll be back at it and stronger than ever!
4 hours!! sweet gift
thanks Cbear, Kimba, and N :)…Ugh…still owwie…still…bleehhh. I want to go swimmin…hmm. Cardio today and few bar only squats etc. not wts
I"m driving myself slightly crazy here lately. being laid up has pushed me into boredland 2011. But I have accomplished some things…rearranged the furniture… updated my resume…applied for a few PT jobs. I do ok $$ wise but while I’m paying off student loans still I’m be unable to save any money for my savings account.
So, I look for a very very part time PT job. Hmmpfh.
