Journey, Not A Destination

Wow, can you break your schedule out for me such as this:

Monday: X
Tuesday: Y
Wednesday: Z and so on.

Ideally you want to seperate the 2 (assuming that's what you will stick with) strength training sessions as much as possible. Something like Tuesday/Friday.

Sure thing. I'll break it down once I get back from class. It'll probably be around 2:30ish.

Thanks

Honeymoon was excellent. I'd live in Hawaii if I could. Everything is so beautiful and it's just a very casual atmosphere. That said, I can also see where you'd miss the main land too... all in all though, amazing trip.

Hey doll,

I went snooping back in your journal also and sheesh.. those wedding pix made me homesick. I swear the east coast is soooooo much more different than Hawaii. Damn I miss it... Well, I'm going back in December to surprise my family (hopefully the weight loss will surprise them also.. haha).. wanna come along? :D Wanted to thank you for all the wonderful advice, Steve...

I can't really tell you where to throw strength training in. Reason being: you know you better than me. Ideally you should throw in into the mix when you are most likely to do it. Maybe drop a session of cardio/aerobics if need be just so you can comfortably fit strength training into the mix twice per week, spaced out as much as possible. Probably not the answer you are looking for, I'm sure.

Basically, with all that you have going on, the most optimal time to train = any time you can manage.

Yes please. I'll just hop in one of your suitcases. You might have to pay an 'overweight' fee, but I promise... it'll be worth it. I'm a blast on vacation!! :)

And you are welcome.

Blah.

No bone damage from what they can tell. The doc is pretty sure I have nerve damage but he wasn't too sure what to do about it, lol. He said sometimes time will heal this type of injury. When I asked how much time, he replied, "4-6 weeks."

I told him it's been longer than that and he didn't really have an answer for me. So I think I'll say "screw the ortho doc" and go to my chiropractor who specialized in ART.

We'll see. I wanted more concrete answers.

Read above. :)

I haven't been on since yesterday morning. Left for the docs yesterday and came home to no internet. I was having the shakes not being able to check in!

Thanks for your insight. I can't drop Aerobics or Volleyball as these are college classes. So I'm stuck with them, but I can add Strength training in 2-3 days a week.

maybe on the volleyball days depending on how I feel after the Aerobics class day. Should I stick with Squats, deadlifts, military press and dumbbell rows? OR do something else?


Sorry to hear about your hand.

Yea, I'd stick with the basics. You can add in some isolation stuff at the end, just a couple of sets if you'd like. Things like bis, tris, abs, etc.

You might want to check out the stickie I wrote up called "the big lifts."

I have faith in ART. Anything soft tissue (muscle, nerves, etc) ART has done wonders for me. I hope it will be the case here too.
 
it's an online aquaintance that I've known for a few years... maybe I don't know him - he could be a figment of my internet imagination... :D

What makes him so smart?

I've got a few people I'm 'close' with on the web that I hope to meet someday.
