Holy Moley...no posts for a few days...but...here I go!

So...I just found out I am anemic & that my thyroid meds are not enough. fantastic. lovely. joy to the world. Ive been a little tired and a little unfocused recently. Ive also been running out of gas quickly during my workouts-THAT SUCKS! Even Metallica cant fuel me so much...and I truly havent even started diet cutting yet... Good thing is that my meds got upped and little iron + vitamin C should do the trick...within 6 weeks I should be feeling it-oh great. Ill have to propel myself like a mad woman thru my workouts until that time. I am wondeing does anyone use workout "enhancers" like Jackd3D? Thoughts? Any other suggestions? Id really rather not use this stuff but my energy is sucking...

So my eats & beats...

Heres a little tidbit of what I have got going on....

Monday was shoulders...did my standard workout for shoulders & triceps (look back on other workouts & ul see what I mean) but I ran out of gas at the end and know I didnt squeeze every bit of glycogen out of my muscles. I should have pushed harder but ran out of gas. Then, for legs & booty, I did 100 box jumps, 80 rear lunges with 15 lb dbs.

Monday was also Valentines day. After getting the news that I am severely anemic I took it upon myself to have skirt steak fajitas for our dinner out at Austin Grill...minus the rice, tortillas & most of the beans. I ate the meat and veggies...super salty but super yummy. I have no appetite so I forced it down! Breakfast was my standard oatmeal, bluberries & egg whites...

Lunch was 5 oz chicken breasts w/2 cups romaine lettuce. Snack was some kind of power bar...oh and asparagus...always my beloved asparagus...in all the standard quantities!!

Tuesday was back & biceps...again...gas tank has been feeling "un-full" which stinks. I didnt even do standard dead lifts to start-my usual workout routine always includes those progressing the weight up til failure. Nope. not Tuesday. Heres the specific workout:

5:15-6:15am...Treadmill walk-intervals on both speed & incline the entire time. Otherwise its is super boring;(

9am-10:30 Back & Biceps

Barbell rows with an underhand, close grip: 20 x 12 x 4 with 30 seconds of rest in between only

t-bar rows: 1 x 25 x 10, 2 x 35 x 10, 2 x 45 x 10

Bent over single arm rows:30 x 10 x 4, 35 x 10 x 1

LPD:50 x 10 x 3, 60 x 8 x 2

Low Row: 60 x 12 x 4

Assisted Close grip pull ups ( not sure how much weight assisted me but pin was prob 3/4 way up the stack) to failure...close to 50 I think...

Biceps;

Barbell curl 30lbs x 12 x 4 (in between sets threw in abdominal cable crunch 20 @ 100 lbs x 3sets)

Incline Db curls:15 x 10 x 4

Then...off to Maggies school to host a Valentine Party a day late:)

eats...

B @ 7:15...standard oatmeal w/blueberries & egg whites (see a pattern here???)

Preworkout-1/2 Balance bar

Postworkout-didnt have anything but a handful of gummy bears on the way to the party so I majorly screwed my muscles! Then about an hour after the party...and two hours after working out I ate 1/2 a subway turkey sub on whole wheat loaded with veggies & mustard only...

Then for a "snack" about 4 hours later I ate the other half!

Dinner @ 7PM-(crazy day & I wasnt feeling really well..stupd head cold is kicking my butt!) I had a repeat of the breakfast meal.

Wednesday (today)...was SUPPOSED to be a BIG LEGS DAY but my sitter couldnt make it on time, I had too many errands and so...I did only 45 mins cardio (steppmil & treadmill) at 5:15am...no legs...which I am bummed about. My body definitely craves a big workout. I *might* try to lug the kids to the gym this evening but it gets soo crowded and crazy and I pretty much cant stand it. Blah!

So...there goes....OH!!! OH!!! I registered to compete in the Natural North America (INBF) in Alexandria, Virginia on April 30th. First "official" registration Ive completed...so now...no more excuses...time to kick ass & take names...and have fun doing it!!! YAY!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!!
