Trusylver's Diary

i usually do 4 sets of 10 -12 in each exercize and try to add one extra rep each workout, when i reach 12 or more reps i add weight and go back to 10. i usually reach momentary muscle failure on the 3rd and or 4th set.

it is too easy if i feel that i could continue with the exercize in good form beyond 12 reps.

My routine is changed every 6 weeks, if you stick to the same exercizes for too long your body get to used to it and needs somthing new to kick it into gear.
 
Hi trusylver :) I agree with skinnykate. If anyone can reach their goal it's you. Somehow I don't think it's in your personality to do anything but succeed :D
As for being "just plain weird", hey, that's the most fun of all - take it from someone who knows! LOL I think weird has become my middle name :rolleyes: Being different is good - it shakes the rest of the world out of their "comfort" bubble! LOL

all the effort getting stronger at the gym paid of yesterday when i lifted the ride-on lawn mower up onto concrete blocks so hubby could change the blades easier :D (he couldn't get it of the ground)

Snack: 1 meat pie as above

Supper: whatever take away hubby brings home shortly

Water: 1 litre so far

Hello! Your food always sounds so interesting. I can't wait to visit Australia. I want some chili tuna, meat pie, and some of those other goodies you mentioned. hehe Enjoy your shows and staying in today! Wish I could. have to head out in a bit.
 
Do you also watch Stargate and Stargate Atlantis? I love the shows but havent really kept up on Battlestar Galactia due to some adult content and a 12yr old and 14yr old boy.

Have a good work out
 
ok finished the day testerday by eating 3 pieces of KFC that hubby chose to bring me home for supper, i had been craving it for a long time hadn't had any for 6 months, it was nice and i think i will just count yesterday as a cheat.

Bailey hubby and i have watched some of stargate and stargate atlantis, we watch almost anything Sci-Fi. I still prefer the original Battlestar but this new incarnation is interesting. Most of all hubby and i are trekkies with a good collection of DVD's plus we play the computer games, star fleet battles table top game and we have also played the roleplaying game at club meets and RPG conventions. When my son had to take music to school for his radio show he chose Star Trekkin by The Firm from my collection.

This morning is gym day and time to get back on track with my food.

Still trucking along there. ;) glad you got a chance to enjoy some KFC. Everyone deserves a cheat day or cheat meal ;)
 
Hi Trusylver :) IF you're gonna have a cheat meal, I can't think of anything better to cheat with than KFC!!!! Love the stuff!
 
Had a good workout this morning, increased weight on reverse grip pulldowns and lying leg curls. Increased reps for ezybar pullovers.
 
i found this link to some exercizes using a swiss ball and dumbells



the pull over exercise in this article is the same as one of the exercises i do in my workout except i use an ezy bar not dumbells.
 
Yesterdays food wasn't very good with the times i ate

Breakfast: None
Lunch: 4 slices of soy linseed bread, salami and honey leg ham (Late lunch prob should be counted as a snack)
Supper: None (was not hungry after late lunch)
Snack: 1 litre of OJ

Water: 1 litre
Exercise: 15 minute warmup, 1.5 hours weight training

I am starting to see some muscle definition in my arms and shoulders without needing to flex rather than just looking big :) measured my arms a few days ago 14.5 inches of muscle :) most of my fat is around the middle :(

Hubby is back at work today after the holidays, can't wait till the kids go back to school, todays project is to cover their books and write their names on everything.
 
today i have spent most of my time covering school books for my two youngest boys and now my eldest is makining a mess in an attempt to cover his own school books for the new year.

tonight i will probably feel half dead by the time i log back on, the captain of my rugby team got a message to me a few minutes ago saying that training starts again tonight at 6:30 in preperation for this years season, i will report later on my exercise but training usually lasts for 2 hours and will involve lots of running, sprints, push ups, sit ups, burpees and hill runs etc. :eek: there will likely be some ball skill work but mostly fitness for the first few weeks 2 days a week on top of my usual exercise, now i will get a good idea how well my training has gone in the off season.
