That surely didn't hurt. I've been doing that now, heavy carb loading the nite before and morning right before workouts :) then relatively low carbs for 24 hours
 
Leg day

I'm having blood pressure problems that are resulting in me getting sick while training. Might need to take a few off to let the stuff clear my system.

Leg day

Started with 4 sets of extensions for 15 reps.

Moved to dumbell deads on a core board for 10 reps with walking pump lunges to one end of gym.

Then we did 6 weighted step up lunges on coreboard for 6 per leg with a weighted sled push from one end of gym and back. ( I made one of these complete and it set off severe naseau and room spinning) So we decided I would go heavier and do 10 per leg on the lunges.

At this point she checked my pulse and determined my heart rate was way to high. I never did get it to slow down. :(

We moved on to dumbell squats for 10 reps with dumbells up near shoulders then moved them to the front to do front squats for 10 reps and 4 sets.

Then we did 190lbs presses for 15 reps and 4 sets.

I opted out of calves and called it done.
 
Keep a keen eye on that blood pressure my warrior-sistah. I've sworn off stims......again. LOL
But my BP is finally under control.

I recommend lots of Fish Oil, Hawthorn Berries, and Celery Seed Extract.

And Resveratrol is a God-send for BP along with a plethora of other benefits.

Take care Christine.

It's ironic that we got into training to be healthier, yet somewhere along the way we get so obsessed that we do things and take compounds that we know aren't the best choices for over-all health and fitness. :scratchchin:

When I weighed 290+ and was powerlifting, mine shot up to 200/105 and it scared me straight. :yikes:
I immediately dropped the excess body-weight and got hooked on cardio.

I don't know what "board shakes" are, but they sure sound hard! :)

You get in push up stance with your hands on the balance reebok coreboard and shake it from side to side holding abs and shoulders tight.

Today I did an hour of trick or treat walking in stilletto boots. :) That counts as calf and cardio work right!!
 
As promised a pic of the Halloween outfit. I had my makeup done drag style but it photographed white and reflective.

Oh and this is with months of zero dieting. I've decided to have fun until 10 weeks out from the Arnold. Then cut. After all its winter, you need a little fat to stay warm:)
 
Hey Christine!

how was halloween with the little ones?

It was great, we went to a friends house for trick or treat. They did an hour of that and then worked to scare people in his haunted front yard. They actually had more fun doing that.

Thank you..

I think I will end my log until close to the Arnold. I'm not watching diet or doing anything logworthy at the moment. I'm on zero fatburners and nothing but the staples.
