I'm excited about it! I hope they both excel and enjoy it!
 
It may have been addressed in your other log, but when you were repping more on the 165 squats were you doing as much before getting to the squats and as warmups?
 
Good morning! I hope to catch up on all of your logs today! I have 3 cake orders and a cookie order so after a crazy work day, I was busy baking all last night! My hubby told me I wasn't going to be allowed in the kitchen anymore- I'm too messy! ROFL

Yesterday was the most I've repped on the 165 but when I've gone heavier- no, I had started with squats or maybe a little ham work.
 
Happy Thursday! I decided to rest yesterday and not do cardio as planned. I have been run down with the cakes and all. Not getting to bed until 11:45 on Tuesday night and then after 12 last night.

Good morning! Yesterday was a cardio only day! Did 30 mins of Tabata sprints on the treadmill. 20/10 @8-8.5. Then 3 sets of pull ups wide/neutral 8-10 reps each. Today was push day #2 for the week. Totally zoned out several times. Lol (in a good way) I switched my music up from mostly Skillet to a mixture of Hard Rock. Love it!

You mean your quads are having babies? Looking good Kat!
 
Lol. The fact that this log is still kicking FOUR MONTHS later is the perfect testament to the economical value of STIMUL8. What other pre does that?
 
Awesome PR Kat! That's some pressing there...

And just look at that defined bicep on you girl...WOW!!

Thank you both very much! :)


Good morning! It's Friday, which means it's the beginning of my weekend! Yay!!! I have my yearly scan on my thyroid today at 12 to make sure the nodules haven't grown too much. Basically watching for signs of thyroid cancer. With Hashimoto's the gland itself gets inflamed along with nodules as well many times. They did a biopsy about 2 years ago and it came back negative so I'm sure all is well. :)

Workout this morning was quite intense but that's pretty true every day! Lol I try to give all I've got! Not sure if it's acid reflux or what but I thought I was gonna barf a few times while wearing my belt! Haha you'll notice in my video that I stopped a second - that's why- it almost came out! Lol
