That's a good one, J! If they are still in town, you have GOT to go see "The Rat Pack Is Back!" When I went two months ago, we saw a TON of shows, and that one was the BEST! (Even over Elton John, Zumanity and Penn & Teller!)

Shit, ZZ! You are ridiculous! LOL Are we ALL hiding? I didn't get the memo!

Oh, baby! And I LOVE that they call that class "CHISEL"! Too cool!

I wish my gym had resistance classes. I've never heard of them at all. Of course, I really need more cardio and have NO PROBLEM getting in the resistance. That's why I signed up for two spin classes...I need the help in that department if I'm gonna make that bike tour in May. I hope you feel good and sore tomorrow, so those muscles will GROW! LOL (The key word is good...it's a good soreness after a hella workout like you had today!)

JM - You are correct on the book. That is great that you actually have experienced the theory working back when you worked out with your boyfriend! I haven't read too awful far into the book just yet, so I can't speak intelligently about what it says yet...but the whole premise is heavy weight and fewer reps. What I HAVE gotten to so far is pretty cool on the calorie and protein recommendations and how to calculate your needs based on your current weight, and also what to look for in results to be able to tweak those intakes properly. I'm rather fearful of the amount of calories it is recommending...it's a LOT. But I do have many symptoms pointing towards not eating enough, so I will give it a shot for a bit and see how it goes. I will be much further into the book before my head hits the pillow tonight, so I will try to come on and give an update.

Biceps and triceps again today. I know we just did them on Friday, but we only had an hour today, so that was the most logical choice. I went really heavy for me, and loved it! My arms are getting bigger, for sure...I love it! I really had to push myself to do that much weight, but it sure felt good!

Well, obviously my errands didn't take very long, because I am back here....my home away from home this place is! I go to the gym in about an hour...I can't wait...I'm changing up my workouts starting today to lift really heavy with fewer reps. I bought a book last night called "New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess" and it is AWESOME! It vehemently states that if you want to transform your shape, you MUST lift! I already know this to be true, as my body has changed so much since I started lifting in October/November. It is truly amazing! Ladies, you have GOT to get this book! Or at least go to the book store and look at it yourself to see if this couldn't be true for you as well.

Really? You call everyone daddy? I love it! I call everyone "Honey"! Men, women, kids...doesn't matter...they are all "Honey"! I think it's a Texas thing, ya know?

I love that you call him "Daddy"! Just too adorable! I'd be afraid MM would whup my butt! LOL

You are so right! Hey, thanx again for telling me how to multi-quote! You are welcome! Yes, you are a spazz...as am I! I am a sucker for recognition, too! I will figure something out to do on the spreadsheet. Got 'em and you will be updated momentarily! I added you, too, and put a comment on your page.

Okay, gotta go run some errands and then hit the gym! I'll be back this evening to catch up on everyones numbers that post between now and then. Come on, all! Gimme dem numbas!

See?!?!? That's what happened to me when WHOS mentioned Applebees! Actually it was dinner last night, and I did LOVE IT! I think that is the best salad I've ever eaten.

WTF is Records Day? Never heard of it! J - You going to Vegas? Lucky dog! I want to move there so badly! Well, I want to move to Henderson...to be more specific. I couldn't actually LIVE in Vegas...pretty nasty for a home life.

OH! That's pretty cool! Thanx, BG!

Google Docs - LBT WARRIOR CHALLENGE - Ends March 30th Okay, I have updated the spreadsheet with as much info as I have. Please check it out with the link above and send me (PM me) your info where it is needed? Like I said, you guys were right...it is MUCH easier to have you PM me your weekly totals over tracking your individual posts! I didn't realize we would have so many folks jump on board! It's wonderful!

I know it was YOU! LOL <wink> Dang...Dairy Queen? I LOVE Dairy Queen, but there are none around here at all! I miss them!

Yes, I am! You just now figuring that out, girl? LOL In case y'all haven't figured it out, I don't know how to use the "multi-quote" function on here, so I'm hogging the page right now. Anyone care to educate me on how to do it?

Stef Armstrong? Hate to say it, but I like that! :biggrin1: :clap2::clap2::clap2:100 POUNDS!!!! YOU ROCK, MAN! WHAT A STUD!:clap2::clap2::clap2:

Welcome!!! Welcome!!! Welcome!!! I've added you to the spreadsheet. Please let me know your start weight, goal weight for March 30th, weekly cardio goal and weekly resistance goal. Also let me know if you got time in for week ending 1/6 or if you are starting today? JESS - If you gave me your goals and start weight, I completely goofed up and missed them! Can you send yours to me, as well? Sorry if it is a repeat!

Yes, 38! I love it! I bike along Trinity Boulevard behind Bell Helicopter from Ft. Worth to Arlington, and up Greenbelt to River Legacy Park where there are over 15 miles of concrete trails with no vehicle traffic going through the woods. It's a gorgeous park! Here's a slide show I made of it a while back: River Legacy Park by robbieandstef Yes, you can PM me your totals for the week, and include Sunday in your totals. Today starts a new week! Woo-Hoo! I'm ready...are you? LOL

Okay. SOMEONE on here mentioned Applebees to me yesterday, and I can't stop thinking about it! Driving me crazy! (I know...short drive!) I just called in a To-Go order for a Grilled Shrimp and Spinach salad with Hot Bacon Vinegarette! YUM! Be back later! Love y'all!

Here is a copy of a PM I just got from one of the members in the challenge. (After I "X-ed" out the numbers) This is actually a great idea. Y'all are right...it's easier for y'all to just give me totals since we ended up with a lot of folks participating! Here is my totals for the week Todays weight: XXX. Total Cardio: XXX mins Total Strength: XX mins

Here's a link for the protein, if you like: Bodybuilding.com - Optimum 100% Casein Protein - Slow Protein Digestion! On sale now!

B - I ordered Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein Slow-Acting Protein, Aminogen Enhanced. I got the Banana Cream and Chocolate Supreme. I just put 8 oz. of skim milk in the Magic Bullet with a heaping scoop of the Banana Cream and ten ice cubes. It's pretty darn good! I'm not experiencing any aftertaste, no grittiness, and it is very creamy. The only complaint I would have is that it's a tad sweet, so I will probably throw a tablespoon of natural peanut butter in for the future to see if that doesn't cut the sweetness down. I can't wait to try the Chocolate Supreme tomorrow night!
