Wow, talk about getting caught up here! Good for you, leaving the other job, even if it’s short term or whatever. YOU KNOW, that you can always find work/ go back to it, anything you want. So just rest up, train hard…sleep in perhaps? Eat pancakes?
Z.
:D!!! Thanks guys!!
I appreciate the good vibes and well wishes. It’ll be ok, and if not I am a fortunate girl to have some really good support from my family and my buddies. Life it too short to be frazzled–fuck it!

Mossimo walks
carried the empty tbar around the field…I made it about half way around before my first stop, my grip sure has fled :{ Forearms too were burning up!
Yesterday’s push up total was 365- my first set of 30 reps in that mix as well! 
Today I didn’t really wanna, but I did something. My diet and intake is all off from being sick and losing my taste for my normal staple foods… I’m off kilter still.

Felt good to get carries in finally with the field being dry and a good weather day…until throwing away some stuff in the trash can on the field and spotteed more than a few used syringes…yeeckk. At least they used a trash can I guess.

These are getting tough.
Training looks great!!
So you are doing farmers carries with 105 pds. per hand for 180 yards without stopping? If so that is phenomenal!
You should consider a strongwoman contest.
all that weight lifted and more than 400 push ups, you are very much a bad ass
Thanks HKD!!! !! The push ups are really changing my body. Its exciting and a real incentive to keep em up!
Thanks DBasler!! Not sure about yards, but I’ve measured the field in feet with my tape measure! HA! :D!
I do tend to lean towards the strongman type more then power lifting stuff however no meets for this girl-- did those years ago and had fun at the time but they don’t float my boat anymore.
However, its fun to train that way for sure. I LOVE carries. They too have changed my body for the good, and are fairly idiot proof.

total push ups today 415
I also am started to space out the pull ups, adding five a day vs having a big pull up day once a week. The idea being that towards the end of my my usual pull up party I get sloppy,. so maybe less reps of nice ones are probably better then more reps of sloppy. We’ll see.
total pull ups today 2 sets of five, one set of 5 neutral grip
You have been putting in some real work. I bet the gains are inspiring. Do or did you do before and after photos? The pull up program sounds like a good challenge.
Thanks HKD! I do feel things have been going well! I took a picture of my back a few months ago when I noticed traps appearing. Its going to be a long haul to get growth “look” on my back since its fairly undeveloped "look"wise. For sure I can palpate the changes more then see them on my chest and arms, but no before pictures of the front.

I think it is usually difficult to see the improvement. I think the triceps are looking more muscular in the second photo. The traps are looking strong. I think your dedication and being consistent is paying off. You have inspired me to start tracking my pull ups and push ups. Seems like a good way to track progress.
By God, you look amazing! Keep up the great work.
Cannot be said any better than this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What I should have said was I think it is unusual to see the changes yourself. However, when some one else sees you the changes are much more evident to them. Also as has already been said you look great.
Back looks strong in both pictures. Your arms are definitely fuller in the “now” photo. 420 is a lot of push ups. Nice work!
Thanks guys!!! I really appreciate it! I for sure am a person who responds well to compliments (!) as well as daily tasks–I like checking off things as a daily to-do, makes me feel accomplished in my fairly uneventful days.
I know it’ll get to a point where ti’ll be too much but for now those push ups are working out very well. And surprisingly making me more interested in upper body work…I nearly did some rows today.
Today
pull ups 4 sets of 10
Total push ups 430.
I had a good set of 30 too!
Beauty pics Brute. I was out in your hood yesterday. I thought I might see the allusive Fury but alas, no.
Wicked poster also; I hate zebras.
Thanks Eric! That image of the poster is actually on my leg, in tattoo form. I don’t hate zebras I just love Hyenas. 
Me N Mossi are usually out on our long walk on the weekends pretty early for the most part other then that you probably can see my car buzzing around Wheat Ridge during daylight hours! I’ll just say that if you saw my car, you’d know it was me 
Last day at the 2nd job was Thursday, and I am already starting to feel a change in my attitude!! It was uneventful and on very good terms in case I need to go back but WHOOOOOOOHOOOO!!! :D!!! OH MY GODDDD!!!
AH HA HA!!! Now I have three day weekends every week! At my day job and only employer now I work 4 ten hour shifts so I have tons of time that I’ve never really been able to appreciate. Most ER places do that since it can be hard on staff doing the job they do, its to help prevent burn out,.That starts next week when I get a true three day weekend! I am so excited!!! AHH HA HA HAAAAAAAAAA!!! :D!!!
I have no plans so far to fill it except going to see my parents and sister more often. Family is quite important and I’m really lucky to have a very supportive and good relationship with mine-- and Mossimo adores my mom big time.
