And ... Here we go! Lexagon's Journey!

[Lexagon]

I took a whole bottles worth ( 2 months) of african mango and did not have this experience.

Back when I first ran raspberry ketones I got a heady feeling and I dont get it anymore

Keep up your hard work Lexagon

Well I didn't get a headache yesterday on just the Ketones. So I decided this AM to go back to the Ketone/Mango combo, so far so good. Maybe it was just a fluke or allergies or something. We'll see what happens.

Workouts are looking good... and you are right... phone alarms suck!

Haha! They always suck! I never like hearing that alarm.

Nice log Lexagon!! I'm a bit late but definitely here for the ride

Great to have you around. Thanks for the support!

[Lexagon]

I ended up taking my bike out after work yesterday for a quick 6.8 mi ~32 min ride. Dunno why but I just had to get out and get some exercise in. Felt great! Had to race the sun since its starting to set earlier, but still had enough time to get a decent ride in.

Im still not a fan of running... I'm flat footed so it gets pretty painful... but I'm a fan now of the stairs... which I never thought I would like

I am flat footed too, so I know how you feel when it comes to running.

If you're not having fun then what's the point, right?

So true!!

* i did front raises instead of L's - lol and I accidentally picked up the 10lb wait on my right side on the first set - haha!

Cardio:
Arc Trainer - 17mins

Great workout. Decided since my shoulder was still giving me some trouble (and the rack was occupied) that I would just use the other machines for a killer leg workout. And it was just that KILLER! Pushed hard on the Ext and Leg Press. Finally found a comfortable footing for the Press. Then decided to burn out my calves, for fun. That's always a great workout.
Did a little RC work, as noted above I grabbed the 7.5 on the left and 10lb db on the right for my first set - haha. Couldn't figure out why the right felt SOO heavy ... lex had the dum. Surprisingly my shoulders don't hurt too bad this AM. I did fall asleep with the heat pad on my shoulder (yes it has auto shut-off and no I didn't mean to fall asleep). And woke up feeling pretty good. Shoulder was a little stiff, but not super sore like usual.

Rewarded myself with some Froyo after that. And OMG was it good. They had Irish Mint Creme, heaven. If you didn't know i LOVE LOVE LOVE anything mint. Esp mint chocolate chip. Anyway yeah, well worth it.

Great workout and way to go on the PR's! Wooooohoooo! Froyo sounds delish! A new place just opened around here and I'm dying to try it out, maybe on a refeed day.

Captains Chair -

Pretty good workout over all. Sticking to the LPress for now, as the bar irritates my shoulder on the squats and I'd rather not feel like that right now. Those are going up so at least I'm still getting a good leg workout in each time. I would rather squat, but I'll have to figure something out there first. Bench was just meh - first few sets felt great, but after that one heavier one my shoulder was aching so I stopped. Same thing with rows. Although I did get more sets out of those, thankfully! I did the captains chair just to see how my core was doing. Surprisingly it's a lot stronger, which I guess would make sense. Just seems funny since I haven't done any actual core exercises in FOREVER!

Sunday Workout: Almost forgot to post!
Went on a nice long bike ride this morning. My tude is killing me ... lex will be investing in padded shorts soon! Srs. And probably some cycling shoes, just to make my life easier and not worry about my feet slipping on the longer rides. Despite the sore tude, my legs are feeling wonderful. And the weather wasn't so bad.

22.12 mi ~ 2 hrs

I've drank over a gallon of water today already. Going to be lazy for a little while and then off to yoga w/ some friends around 3. Pretty sure I could use stretching and relaxing! Need to by groceries too, just a few. Maybe that will make grocery shopping more enjoyable.

[gokix811]

Is tude what I think it is? Haha

What helps when I go grocery shopping is to eat a snack before I leave. That way I'm not walking the aisles feeling famished and end up throwing boxes of pop tarts in my cart lol.

Haha yeah, one of my friends refers to it as "bike tude" I forgot to change it, but yeah my butt hurt! That's what happens.

Normally I do eat, but I was so tired and relaxed and didn't want to be there anyway so that made my trip a huge success. Plus I'm leaving for vaca on Sat so I didn't want a whole bunch of extra crap sitting around. I just got veggies for the week.

where you going?

are you seeing any small changes in your physique? (which over time them small changes equal quite noticable changes)

CT to visit with the parents! No work for 9 days .. YAY!

Yes small physique changes are definitely there. And I do actually notice that I'm a lot more hungry when I forget to take everything (like today) LOL I meant to pack backups for work, but well I kinda forgot oh well.

[Miss Q]

What kind of yoga do you do? I've tried hot yoga and relaxation yoga and the relaxation classes win!! I thought I would die or pass out from the hot classes and honestly all I could think of was "when will this torture end?"

It's called restorative yoga - it's basically relaxation + lots of stretching! It's a great class that I will gladly pay for. Except this time around I over stretched my right hip flexor (or something) and left in some pain for a couple days. Other than that, great class! I keep wanting to try hot yoga, but never go through with it.

[jiggamanbill]

LOL!

[John Smeton]

hows the vacation to ct?

[Lexagon]

Ok I'm finally back. Vacation was great. Rained on and off most of the time I was there. But that's ok, it was a nice change since we don't get rain here much. Had a nice time relaxing, eating and visiting with people.

Now back to the grind . haha!
