Ah well.

Sorry for not checking in on you in a while. Hoping that you're doing okay. #cheers

I told Vixen on my thread, but here are our Noun Verber Grades: Probably a solid A for both WndrWmn and I. Three workouts, in bed on time, and food is getting tracked (at least by me, I'll double check on her). I'll be on tomorrow to post details. I got sick Thursday (threw up in the morning, but just once, maybe I'm pregnant?) and the rest of the week was a bit rough.

Sorry, absent yet again! I'll get details posted and proper replies done tomorrow most likely. Noun Verber Grades: Probably a solid A for both WndrWmn and I. Three workouts, in bed on time, and food is getting tracked (at least by me, I'll double check on her). We are about to go hit the third workout for the week. The last one was cut short by a scream from upstairs. My daughter ran into something while playing and got a bloody lip. That, combined with the time and the general terrible day on Friday cut things off early. Will give details most likely tomorrow.

That's a good question. Meeting them exactly isn't a huge priority. Keeping them near target, at least proportionally, is more important for me. I'm okay being in the ballpark in any area. But I don't want to say, double my sugar and only meet half my protein goal for instance. So as long as I'm close, I'm okay with it. I especially want to be eating enough on days I work out, trying to get close to protein and calories. I try to keep carbs under 100g total each day, but I don't sweat it if I go over, as long as it isn't a trend or habit. Thanks for checking!

Sorry. #grewupinmichigan #can'thelpit #wehavesoverylittletobeproudof #althoughthewingsareusuallygood #damnlions

A hastag followed by a smiley. I sit in awe of this combination of unnecessary elements.

This discussion needs more Seuss. Would you, could you, in the South? Put chicken and waffles in your mouth? You may like them, Ska, you'll see! When both these foods are syrupy! Best I got on short notice. #gotigers

Hey, if it fits in with your Whole30 then do it up! #mmmchickenandwaffles #roscoes #I'llhavefourwholefriedchickensandacoke #fourfriedchickens #andacoke

Good luck with the Dr. stuff. Sounds like a pain, in multiple ways. Also good luck hitting your charity goal! Still very impressed. Have fun in Chicago! #stayawayfromwaffles #alsobearsfans #stupidcutler #atleasttheyfiredlovie

I think I should leave. First dancing, now singing... too much merriment in once place. YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN! #gonnagosomewherequiet

Nice workout! Love the farmer's walk, and cheers to the guy who nodded in approval. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Ash! I'll be careful if I can. No promises. Food - Tuesday, AKA cheap wing day! Calories: 2,716 / 2,660Carbs: 29 / 67Sugar: 7 / 16Protein: 178 / 166Fat: 187 / 192 Trying a new format that is easier to type. The first number is what I got, the second is the "goal" from MFP. I may end up dropping the goals off entirely. Visually this isn't as nice but it's easier to input. Or I could learn how to easily insert pictures or tables... hah. Maybe some day.

Along the line of "MOAR DOTS!"... If you don't attack that dragon this week, MINUS 50 DKP! #latetotheparty #hadtodoit #rawr

Wow killer workout. Hope you feel better by now.

Good morning and good luck with Wednesday all. #wafflewednesday #okaymaybenowafflesbutitsstillwednesday #whyisitnotquittingtimeyet #squatstodaykindofexcited #cheers

Hey Wednesday. Get your shit together. Go home Wednesday, you're drunk. Nope, not the same when I try. Good job on Tuesday and best wishes for continued success. #reversenancy #justsayyes #teachmehowtodougie #lolwut

In case anyone cared or was curious (and really, why would they be, the following is pointless) the current ratio of posts from Ash / Vilkacis on this page is: 6.5:1 Not counting two random Kiwi sightings (you still count Kiwi, just not in my A:V ratio [#rawr]). Come on Vilkacis, she is invading your lands! All up in your turf! Other poorly thought out metaphors! Sounds like you're doing good despite the lack of time for posts. Keep up the good work! #blamecanada #ourbeerisbetter #goredwings #didItickyouoffyet?!?

Yeah I can't imagine trying hook grip on DB's as there wouldn't be much room to... well, get a grip. I'll have to see if I can even do it next time I'm around a DB. I've used straps in the past and they certainly helped. I still have a set, somewhere in my sock drawer I think. I'm staying away from them for now as I really want to know the truth about how much I can lift, without caveats. I don't have any real injuries or anything that necessitates them. I may pull them out eventually for only the heavy sets, but I kind of like this "make a mistake, figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong" cycle for now. These little lessons will be important later on, at least I hope they are. If I'd been using the straps, I probably never would have discovered the incorrect grip! I'm not throwing them away any time soon though <wink>. The chalk mostly helps keep your skin nice and dry so things don't slip. Plus it feels nicer.

Just found out that I was gripping the bar incorrectly for DL's. I had the bar too deep in the hand and it was sliding down into the fingers. I need to grip it closer to the hook of the fingers, and that should help the callus formation / tearing issue. #themoreyouknow #learningisfundamental #knowledgeishalfthebattle #GIjoelasergunspewpew

Geez, hope you feel better soon. I hate mystery pain, especially in the chest. #bestwishesandwhatnot

St. Bernard! Yeah, that was the one I was thinking of. Congrats on the oversleeping. Take it where you can get it. Hope it didn't skew the day too much.

Damn. Good luck, crazy situation.

Good luck on the max test! Can't wait to see how it goes.
