Woah! 45 mins HiiT is nutty! And you thought a my 6 mile run was tough?
That BF will melt off in seconds! Nice work.

Steady state cardio is tough for me. 1 mile straight annoys me. 6 miles will leave me 6 feet under. I admire that you run though, don’t get me wrong. But I don’t have that kind of discipline.
Eh, with the junk I eat, it won’t melt that quickly.
Lower BF is great, but I try not to get discouraged when I eat like shit.
Cuz when I cheat, like with my bacon,egg,cheese bagel/hash browns/frozen yogurt/burger/fries/onion rings/ice cream sandwich today, I just pray that it goes to my recovering muscles and gets them big ![]()

Don’t laugh Baboon, you’ll be charging $25 to your patients just to tell them “Yeah, that’s gotta be taken care of soon. Can some med students poke you? K, bye.” ![]()
My favorite part of doing the cardio afterwards is seeing how the sweat looks on my muscles ![]()
Yeah, I’m vain.

That’s my favorite second favorite part of sex.
And I’ll laugh all the way to the bank
Jk. I actually take pride in the fact that, at least at this point in my career, I still care enough to talk to my patients.
sweaty muscles is all good:)
glad to see you back at it Nikki.
Let’s see; Baboon, sweaty muscles, and sex… getting some pretty hawt images in my head ![]()
Thanks N, I’m glad too.
So… I haven’t worked out in a couple days ![]()
Normally that will be fine, but I’ve been turning my birthday into a weekend, eating pretty badly. And my body is still pretty sore from Friday, so there’s not much activity that I feel like doing. So I’m just feeling fatter and fatter by the minute, waiting for my body to tell me when I can do something again.
Bright side, this gives me time to play PS3 ![]()
Clearly you are feeling improved with all that lifting and cardio and eating. Happy birthday!
oh, happy birthday girl and glad you’re feeling better
Yay for the B-day week extension!! My b-day turned into 2 weeks of food and drink may-hem, so I completely understand. Live it up lovey. You’ll be back to your regular ways soon enough ![]()
Mine is on the 13th,
Thanks for the wishes ![]()
Oye Maschy, I ate enough crap for 2 weeks, including a burger, onion rings and fries, movie theatre junk, and chinese food.
Oddly, I didn’t gain any weight, not even water weight.
I’m so weird.
But yeah, I’m back on my mediocore eating in the day and low carb dinners. Bleck.
The 13th? You’ll find your present from me in your PM that day ![]()
Today marks the 14 days after surgery, when I’m actually ‘allowed’ to work out again. So did quads and shoulders. I don’t really have a routine right now since it’ll be hard to do a routine when my gym class is still a bit weird. So I’m just coasting in the gym.
Highlights:
Got rep PRs on my 135 and 155 squats, and my old 175 squat 1RM is now 175 x 3.
I would have tested what my 1RM was but my back started hurting, then I got ‘scolded’ by the bf cuz he told me not to start so heavy the minute I got the “OK” to go hard in the gym again.
I didn’t listen, surprise surprise.
Anyway, that’s the highlights of the workout.
Did shoulders, then 30 minutes on stairstepper, set on Random setting.
yeah for the great come-back.
be smart. be safe.
my motto.
xx

Hi.
Thanks N, those numbers were a pleasant surprise.
Yeah, I’m trying to be smart and safe. I just love squats; the exercise itself, my ego, the dumb-founded looks from everyone who expects me to walk to the Smith machine… sigh Now that I know that anesthesia isn’t dangerous and evil and the Devil’s Recipe and that surgery isn’t THAT bad, I’m really considering just letting the docs operate on my back. I can’t work out like this forever, it’s becoming a real pain in my ass… quite literally.
Hello Lovely MiM.

Nice squating!
Thank you Fine Sir, quite literally.
Now get back to posting workouts in your journal; seems like you’ve been MIA.
Today… was just a bad fucking day.
I just need to vent right now, nothing important.
My boyfriend and I had a chest/back workout planned for today. On the bench, when I put 115 on the bar a few sets later, he argued with me saying that I should just keep benching the double digit numbers and if I keep benching like this, then I’m going to lose my curves and start looking like a man and turn lesbian and the fact that I lift such big numbers (compared to the average girl, that is) is not sexy. He also was a bit pissed because my back is still hurting and I said that I couldn’t do abs with him later. He always wants me to do abs because they’re not sexy like the abs that the other gym girls have, which he loves to point out to me. When I joke that he should have Wendy’s after his workout, he says “That’s not good for the abs” and looks at my stomach pointedly.
Yeah, I get it.
Did about 3 exercises for chest, then went to back.
After pull ups, I did the Hammer Strength pulldown machine and since I haven’t done it in a while I couldn’t remember what weight I used to do (I was too lazy to look back in my notebook). When I told him to add the 25# plates to the 45# plates already on the machine, he told me “That’s a lot. Why don’t you just try out the machine first?”
I told him “I did this machine all the time, I know I can do more than 45#.”
Then he hit me on my left arm, which was already hurting since I hurt it yesterday.
I don’t know why it pissed him off enough to hit me, but I guess I can get people riled up like that.
So I broke up with him.
I guess it’ll be redundant to say how shitty I feel; not cuz of him, just because I hate being put down, tu sabes? It seems like I just… can’t get away from it.
So… I added more to my workout, to take my mind off things.
Last minute add-in was hamstrings. Because of my back, I couldn’t do deadlifts so I did the leg press (high and wide), GHRs, lying leg curls (used the extended sets idea from the TN article; I love it) and seated leg curls (FST-7 style, but with 8 sets. I just wanted an even number today)
Probably did 30 minutes in intervals on the elliptical. I don’t know.
I just wanted to take my mind off things for as long as possible.
Desgraciado! He sounds like one of those people who try to sabotage you because they’re insecure and/or jealous. You probably did the right thing by breaking it off with him - i’m sure he’ll be back tho…
You seem strong-willed enough to know that you don’t ever deserve to be put-down or made feel less than. So you know what’s best for you.
Hang in there girlie and if you need any knees broken, you know who to call ![]()
He hit you, like punched you? Thats not cool. picks up baseball bat
Do I need to choke somebody?
Nikki…
I’m sorry it’s been a shitty day for you. I don’t profess to know a thing about this boyfriend (ex) of yours but I’ll tell you something right now: You did right by kicking his ass to the curb. It’s not only the fact that he hit you (though, that makes me want to twist of his head and shit down his neck) but he clearly treated you with disrespect in other ways. Surround yourself with people who build you up, who make you feel good, who treat you well. Don’t waste your time with ass holes. Just my $.02.
Lovin’ ya’, Kid!
You’re too cute to bother with that moron anyway. Boys suck, especially at that age. Train harder and give 'em hell, that’s what I do.
