Week 2 update -Muscle memory is a wonderful thing!
Strength is coming back amazingly fast! I’m sure the low dose test is helping with that...along with my libido is through the roof! Only down side is weight is not dropping. It’s actually up about 1 lb. I’m telling myself is the glycogen filling my muscles back out. There’s no way it’s fat. Nutrition has been on point. Each workout has been great. Slowly increasing intensity by adding in more supersets and increasing weights/lowering rep ranges. I am also starting to add more compound movements as well. I plan to add squats next week. Cardio was 5 x’s @ 15 mins this week with lifting being 45 mins.
Embracing my curves today- I was told thickness in the right places is what matters...right?!Invalid Link Removed
Ps they have locked all of the rooms so I feel like all of my pics look the same! Haha
You look beautiful and love your curves.
1st day back since February. Haha, I’ve been canceling the gym every day for about 2 weeks now (we have to schedule a time) due to family matters, but it feels wonderful to be back and I cannot wait to see results, especially internal results!
Buy one, get one free?! Haha, I’ll take it!!!

I love it though!
Week 3 update! Work has been so crazy, I’ve been too busy and exhausted at night to post. So I apologize! Finally added squats and deadlifts this week. Worked up to 115x6-8 did that for 4 sets on squats and 135x8-10 on Deads. I was surprised to be able to squat even that much. Last time I had surgery 65 was insanely heavy. 115 felt great but I am super cautious to strain too much just yet. I want to make sure my pelvic floor muscles are nice and strong/recovered. Last weeks leg day had more of a ham/Glute focus. This week was more quad focused and my quads are screaming at me today!I love it though!
Endurance on running is improving too. Getting closer to being able to do my intervals without needing 2-3 mins to walk between. Haha (I do NOT like running- so know the term running is used very lightly)
Weight is pretty much the same possibly a few ounces less but what does that matter!![]()

Red!!!! I’m always happy to see you!
Oh they are popping!!I hope you all had a great weekend! We did! Took the top off the jeep...spent the day out on the lake Saturday -me and my paleness got very red! Lol ...Sunday was church and then I went wedding shopping with my sister in law. She’s getting married at our house this weekend!
Chest and shoulders yesterday! Bench working sets were 105x6x4 (flat) and 85x6x3 on incline.
Back day today - Deads working sets up to 175x8x4 sets. Started adding in pull-ups with a band. Everything is feeling great! Definitely feeling and seeing muscles fill back out. Now if the scale could just start moving, I’d be so excited! Invalid Link Removed
Just getting back to checking it here and always a pleasure seeing you and Kat!
Welp, we’re closed again. On to plan B!

Those arms![]()
wow...the last time i had homemade cheesecake i was in the VA in-house rehab and the nice laddies from the america legion ladies auxillary brought us in some. over 22 years ago, lol.Trained legs this morning...was just in the zone, I guess, and did 3 sets of 155x5 on squats before I knew it. I looked back at my post last week to see what I made it to...much to my surprise I only made it to 115 last week. HECK YEAH!! Working my way to decent numbers!!!
Also had my follow up blood work done. Found out they only tested fsh, estradiol, and testosterone previously. I had them at progesterone and dhea to the count as well. T3 & T4 we’re both very low before. I feel like levels still aren’t quite optimum yet so hoping for an increase in meds.
Anyways, now onto wedding preparations. (Can’t remember if I said...I’m having my sis-n-laws wedding at my house this weekend. Made 2 large cheesecakes for her cake last night and will be making cupcakes today as well as cleaning the house, & decorating etc.)

good luck with the wedding plans!!!
if only there were a way to mail a cheesecake, lol.Aww wow! How sweet! If you lived close, I’d make you some! My favorite is a red velvet with cheesecake in the middle(between the layers of cake) I haven’t made it in years but always get rave reviews when I do!
Haha I have seen it mailed in a jar but that’s not as exciting!if only there were a way to mail a cheesecake, lol.
I might head a few 100 miles for that Red Velvet Cheeses Cake, it sounds AWESOME !!
Looks great Kat, coincidentally I too had cheesecake this evening!Invalid Link Removed

Love the topping bar idea !!
Nice work!! Enjoy the beachTraining is continuing to go very well! Working sets of 120x5 on bench yesterday...and 225x5 on Deads today. Last set was only 3 but was still stoked!! Wednesday is typically a rest day for me but I will be going in tomorrow because we are going to the beach for a long weekend. I can’t wait to walk on the sand!!
My wife made some pìna colda cupcakes the other day for a customer and had coconut cream frosting on them. Very disappointed that I only got to try a 1/3 of one because they were amazing!
I told her that she has to make a cake like that for me! Nothing yet though.I seriously am craving cupcakes now. I’m a coconut / pineapple fanatic. I could only imagine how good they were.
Thank you!Nice work!! Enjoy the beach
Thank you! It’s definitely easier than having 5 different cheesecakes! I love popcorn bars too!Cheesecake bar! Never seen one. Great idea! I will have to remember that. With a large family I have seen about every type of party bar.
FYI: you did a great job of set-up. simple but cool looking.
