Liberator Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I am late to the challenge but I have been to the gym twice this week, Monday and Wednesday I am hoping to get to the gym Friday or Saturday... 2 Quote Link to comment
Liberator Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Yep! I got to gym today after work! It feels great! I am adding weight slowly 5lbs per week and working on increasing the number of reps. Right now Squat-80lbs; Benchpress-75lbs; Barbell row-75lbs and I am adding a few machines because sometimes the free-weights are crowded Three times for week one 2 Quote Link to comment

Liberator Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Ok, I am looking to keep going with the Monday, Wednesday, Friday workout schedule! Saturday I ate some donuts... I had my car repaired across the street from a famous area doughnut shop. So I fell prey to the lure of the tastiness of specialty doughnuts I felt horrible, my skin reacted, lips were itch, stomach ache.... yucky feelings!When I am working out I just feel better when eating "clean" ish.

Liberator Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I had three little birds outside my window! :triumphant: It is nice to get reminders not to worry! I am still on leave so those birds are especially meaningful. Gratitude:I am grateful for sunshine and spring flowers. They always help to make you feel better I am grateful for the three little birds, and the life lesson of learning not to worry. It is difficult at the moment.I am grateful for a call from a friend with encouraging words. 2 Quote Link to comment

All awesome! When the racks are taken up, have you considered the dumbbell variations for those lifts as an alternative? 1 Quote Werewolf Druid | Lvl 2STR 2 | DEX 2 | STA 1 | CON 1 | WIS 4 | CHA 3Character Sheet (work in progress)My Current ChallengeDovie'andi se tovya sagain.It's time to toss the dice.

Liberator Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I can't help but share some Italian culture Ma il cielo e sempre pui blu by Rino GaetanoA song from the 1970's, a political commentary on Italian society and a damn catchy tune. 1 Quote Link to comment
Liberator Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 All awesome! When the racks are taken up, have you considered the dumbbell variations for those lifts as an alternative?Thanks for the encouragement Yeah I have, that area gets crowded too! I am learning to be flexible enough not to let the crowds slow me down. 1 Quote Link to comment
Liberator Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I am having skin issues again. No cookies, no nuts! so far I think those are the worst offenders! Skin feels really raw and my stomach feels awful and I have bloating. I am hoping with diet changes I can get my skin and body not so inflamed. I think I have a flood of cortisol and my immune system kicks into high gear and it wipes me out! 1 Quote Link to comment
Rihor Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Blech! Crowded gyms are the worst! So much harder to get things done, but I guess it's a test of patience and perseverance. And being inundated with cortisol is no fun...I had been dealing with that last several months. GI system was not happy at all! Hope it turns around for you soon! Have you been to Italy before?
