Rocket Surgery 4 Dummies-Griff's Musings

Thanks Jenna.

Wow what a busy day so far. I went to the gym first so I could make sure I got that in. After that I've been running around town getting ready for my daughter's birthday party. Picked up her present, the cake, the ice cream, and the pizza for the party. I can't believe I have all of those calories in my house! Then I went and got the balloons and put those everywhere. She is so excited! She doesn't know it yet but she is getting a gameboy, just like the one her best friend has.

Anyway, at the gym this morning:

5.25 miles on the bike (15 min warm-up)

3x12 chest flys
3x12 chest presses
3x12 shoulder presses
3x12 bicep curls

6.5 miles on the bike (20 in cardio/cool down)

Then it was time to hit the showers and get busy.

Have a great week-end everybody!

Im jsut droppin in so you can read my location:) I hope you slept well Sweetness - it was well earned Im sure:D:D:D
 
Thanks Cinderelly:)

I am taking a very much needed rest day today. The party went well yesterday although instead of a 2 hour party it ended up being 4 hours. That wore me out! I really don't like having that many people in my house especially since half of them were kids. I ended up have 2 small pieces of pizza (those small totino's party pizzas), 90 cals per slice. I did NOT have any birthday cake or ice cream! I think I probably absorbed a few calories just by cutting and serving the cake and ice cream, it looked soooo good. We still have some left and it has been calling my name!

Tomorrow it's time to get back to work. I am planning on doing my leg workout with some light cardio for tomorrow.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Griff
 
You did soo great at the party:)

I'm glad you had a good time!

You deserved a rest day after that hard week you had.
Keep up the great week and try to resist all those wonderful sweets:eek:
 
Good morning fat fighters!

Got a busy week ahead this week. I'm determined to break into the 2-teens soon! It's been a long time since I weighed less than 220. I have my leg workout planned for today but I might change my mind and do insane cardio instead. I'll have to see how I feel after work.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Griff

Thanks Jenna, always a pleasure having you stop by. Congrats on your ticker tick...tick...ticking away! I still haven't had any cake and ice cream but I did have a little chocolate truffle Sunday at lunch. It was too good.

Thank you ladies for your continued support! It would sure be lonely in here without you two.:)

Hey Griff,

I hope your having a wonderful Monday (although I think Mondays are my least favorite day of the week:rolleyes:)

Mmmmmmmmm Chocolate Truffles sound soooooo good:)

~Jenna
 
Thanks Jenna, it was a pretty good day...for a Monday anyway.

I had a pretty good workout today.

6 miles on the bike (15 min warm-up)

Leg presses 3x12
Leg curls 3x12
Calf raises 3x12
Leg extensions 3x12

I was able to increase my weights on all of these today:jump:

I usually do the bike again for a cool down but I was out of time...besides, my legs were shot!

I hope everyone had a great day today:)

Hi Griff,

Sounds like you're doing great! 222! I'll be there soon enough- but first I gotta enjoy the view through the 240's and 230's.

How tall are you? If you don't mind me asking. We started off at nearly the same weight and our goals are similar (I don't really know what my goal is, in college I was briefly in the 180's and was still kinda soft). So I know its 200 and points South.

Good to see you getting there, gives me hope!

Hey David, thanks for stopping by. I am 5'11" (maybe a frog hair under). I'm not sure what my true end end goal will be, I am going to try to get to 190 and re-evaluate my goals. I just know that I haven't been below 200 since about 8th grade.
 
Just droppin to say good morning and see how you are doing - did you shake that head ache and manage to get a good sleep ??? I had a kinda crappy night with my youngest - I re-arranged my room and set up her bed - and she was freakin out when in my bed abt it beign to dark and such - which is silly it is just as dark as it always was and now she is right beside the night light - silly girl - tomorrow night we try the bed time routine and her in her own bed...
 
Hey Cerella, yeah I crashed hard last night and slept well. The headache went away too. Thanks for asking:)

It's been a busy day at work and our internet connection was down all morning - talk about a slow morning!

Got to get back to work now. Planning on another workout this evening and then I'll check back in here.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Hey Korrie, good to see ya:) can you see what you can do to get us a Stressed Out Smilie?
Major Stress Today!!!

I found out today that my girls wont be able to go to the same school as they did lst year unless I move! So instead of working out after work I was driving around looking at apartments. My lease at my current appartment isn't up until next April so I can't wait for that conversation with them tomorrow. They like me so maybe they will let me off easy. Plus I have another busy day at work tomorrow, a meeting across town that will take up most of the day *insert stressed out smilie here*

This all really sucks but as always...I'll Deal With It!

Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow.

Griff

Thanks for checking on me Cinderelly:)

It's been a crazy few days! 3 whole days that I have not had time to workout - that sucks. In case anyone is wondering, I have not "fallen off the wagon" as they say. I've been eating good (not enough though) but I just have not had the time to get to the gym:mad:

The good news is I got a lease on a new apartment yesterday! Then today I was able to get the girls re-enrolled at their school! I ended up taking today off of work since I had so much to do, I've been needing a day off anyway.

I told you that I would Deal with It!

Sorry I've been missing in action thelast couple of days, I've missed being here.
