Hey Deja sorry I’m late to the game on all this life changing stuff going down in your life. Sounds very similar to myself right now (including considering the military again) - if you ever need a buddy to bounce ideas off of feel free to shoot me a pm

thanks!
i’m changing the widest belly measurement to under 31.5"
the hardest one is definitely going to be the bw military press. but i had to put a super hard strength goal in there. =+)
I like the bw mil press, I make snipe that. Where are you considering your “belly” to end and your hips/butt to begin?
Good goals Deja…I know you’ll do it and then some.
Thats a wicked DL…and I’ve always loved the mil press, it’s tied with the DL. A bw press would be awesome!
Where are you at right now in relation to all your goals? I’ll pass on the 5 mile run though, haha.
Hey Bobbi!
hey bobbi -
yah the mp is gonna be a bitch!
for the belly measurement i just mean the little bulge right under my belly button. if i myotape around that it coincides with my love handles perfectly. i can totally tell by that measurement how i’m doing leanness wise.
at the end of the bikini challenge i was in back in spring 2009 i got it down to 32" and was pretty close to where i want to be.
my hips are quite a bit further down. =+)

the dl goal shouldn’t be a problem since i’ve done 330 before. but it’s been a long time since i’ve trained it heavy so it’ll definitely take a bit.
i absolutely HATE running. but i’m trying to face my fears and do the things that seem hard and that i’ve always made excuses not to do.
i have ZERO interest in going any farther though. fuck that long distance stuff. i’ll do a few 3-4 milers and then knock out the 5 miler one day and that’ll be that. haha
in relation to the goals i’m in a pretty “untrained” state right now so it’s kind of hard to tell. i’m sure i’ll get some good gains at first and then they’ll slow down. my squats probably around 180 and i barely got up a 100 lb military press the other day.
largest belly measurement is 32.5".
and no idea on the 20 rep squats. those suck!
You wanna switch? I’ll take your “weak” and “untrained” numbers for everything from the squat to military press pweeze.
Sorry, it’ll be a bad deal on your end to get my numbers, but who cares? I’ll finally be pressing 100 lbs 
deja, kicking ass in here as I’ve come to expect from you. GREAT tone, great attitude, great goals. This will be very entertaining for me to watch.
And I’m with Nikki – let’s trade numbers and I’ll take yours, OK???
i’ll be happy to trade my numbers but i’m gonna need something better in return!
thanks kimba. i’m giving this positive thinking thing all i have!
and i’m gonna put in the work to get me that flat tummy i always dream about.
i’ll need it to score myself some ass one of these days. hehe
i’m also in a sober october challenge that goes from sept 28 - oct 28 so i’m not going to have a sip of alcohol during that time. and then i’ll celebrate with some halloween shenanigans.
Heh, I’ve had an opened bottle of wine in the fridge since the Hubby left(again)…should be pretty tasty by the time gets back…or not.
you can DO IT!
hahha yuck. the hardest will be football parties and stuff. nothing like a cold beer while u watch a game. but i’ve done it before and i really need to get some discipline back in my life.
omg we’re having a heat wave from hell. 110 yesterday. something like 106 today. no fun. and it’s not even cooling off at night. it’s gonna make the cool weather feel divine when it gets here tho.
was hoping to get in some sprints this afternoon… but not a chance in the heat.
dentist tomorrow … SCARED!
Eww heat waves. You live in southern cali?

No kidding. 104. 96. 96 here
i started to write about my day here but decided to be lazy and just copy paste from a post in my other journal from this morning…
well i made it back to the dentist. like a big girl. got a bunch of fillings and stuff.
i have one more appointment to get a restoration and a crown and then i’ll be on the road to good dental health.
i BARELY made it out the door before i started bawling like a baby after i got the card with how much the next appointment is going to cost. i was so embarrassed walking through the parking lot with tears streaming down my face. i just couldn’t help it though. i cried it out for an hour and now i just have to start busting my ass to make it happen. lets just say i’m gonna have to find a way to work an EXTRA 150 hours in the next 6 weeks. i’ll probably just start selling off some stuff i have and the extra weight plates and stuff.
but i can totally accept responsibility for letting them get this bad. if i would of just taken care of this shit over the last 10 years i wouldn’t be where i am now. so i have to pay the price for my bad choices. made my bed… now i’ll take a nap in it.
and i’m definitely thankful i’m not waiting 10 more.
whew. hopefully that’s the last cry i have for a good long time now.
i was even being super positive and thinking good positive thoughts during the whole 2 hour appointment today. i’m proud of myself.
anyways i’m running on 3 hours of sleep and have a TON more work to do today so i better get to it.
…
so yeah made it back to the dentist. that fucker is taking all my monies. 
got in the squat rack tonight:
back squat: 95 x 8; 115 x 5; 155 x 5; 175 x 2; 190 x 1
walkouts/1/4 squats: 225 x 10, 10
back squat: 115 x 8, 8 (omg this weight felt SO light after the 225)
romanian deadlift: 155 x 20
short and sweet. my right inner thigh was cramping up a bit so i better go try to roll it out some before i grub nasty and kick back and watch some survivor.
