Very Cool Kristie! Great job!!! I just can't do the morning thing exercise. Not sure why but I like to kick it in the evening. I think I do my running in the morning better. Go figure. Most people benefit from the early day thing. I guess I am just weird! Ohhhh I am so jealous of the wine tasting....I am definately going to have to make it out there one of these days! BTW...you are doing great. I am proud of you too! Don't worry about how much you are doing, it's the fact that you are doing! HUGS! Val

Great Job MIKEEEE!!! I got another workout in! WOO HOO!! Congrats on the PR's...those are awesome! I had my cabana boy tonight and it was really nice. I love having him there and pushing me...altho he made me giggle while I was benching! It was all worth it. I was so tired today, debating about working out. I worked the bingo hall again. That's just exhausting. I know I clocked a good 20 miles in there Ok~ here goes Standing calf raises just did a bunch of these and punked Earl out on how good my calves look. Leg extensions Tried one legged ones with low weights but it was too painful with the knees, so I switched back to both legs 30# for 3 sets of max reps, I did these really slow too and boy did it get the legs burning. Leg curls 40# 3 sets of 6 (these are great if you have gas, it really works it out!) I am glad I have my own gym. I can fart at will and don't have to worry about anyone else... Bench press 40# 2 sets of 10 55# x 6 65# 3 sets of 6 45# rep out (this is where I got the giggles) Man Earl... you messed up my rythmn! It was fun tho! Lat pull downs behind the head 30# for warm up reps 50# x 8 x 8 x 10 Hyperextensions 3 sets of max reps Arm work...just played around with different types of DB curls, did hammer curls, Arnold style curls and regular curls 10# for max reps on each one. Tricep dips on the flat bench 3 sets max reps Abs Earl's round about reverse crunch thingy's (that is a technical term you know...thingy) Ok. That's it. Good workout, whole body and that's all she wrote! Val

I do not think you are a wimp, I think you are a workout psyco I was getting sore at the start and it got worse and worse to the point I could not sleep. I was pushing too hard, I backed it down to what was recommended to me and now the sore is gone after a day if I do not miss a workout, longer if I do.

Topic: Muscle Recovery @ this stage an issue?
I'll be 7 weeks out on this coming Tuesday. Yay! Anyway, I have started back into my old routines.. very slowly too. I remember how bad leg soreness can be once you start real workouts again if you have not done it for a while but this seems crazy. My hamstrings ache so bad!! I did do a lot of leg stuff so its not a total shock. Maybe I'm just being a whimp. Just wondering if the lower calories made it more difficult with recovery. I'm pretty sure I am getting in enough protein 80 - 100grams. Did you guys have more trouble than usual with soreness when you started lifting after surgery?
