Yeh P.. they were a little harder than I thought they'd be..lol Thanks for taking a peek in my journal!!

Last night I picked huckleberries with a friend. I don't know what it is about them, I already have 4 gallons, but I can't quit picking them!!! It was getting so dark that I could barely see the bushes..LOL

It's like a crack head getting another hit.... C-a-n-t s-t-o-p p-i-c-k-i-n-g........

[stephaniewicked]

Yay, new journal!!

Something about a lean back is just ohhh sooo sexy. Love it!

[katt981]

ok did it - had my 'yearly' checkup .. I really procrastinate about this every year..LOL.. anyway was having a conversation w/my doc about doing a show, since my kidney function isn't 100%, I was concerned. Well she said, 'as long as you don't take all the supplements you should be fine" like, WTH? and totally gave me the stern look when I mentioned I did the Keto diet.. oh geez.. I guess I need to re-vamp my dieting skills..

Anyway today's workout

static stretches for 10 minutes

BB OH press (50) 10 (60) 10 (70) 8/8
DB Lateral side raise (15) 10 (17.5) 10/10
Front Raise (17.5) 10 (20) 8/8
Rev Fly (10) 10/10/10

1 set of shrugs w/50's 10 ....forgot my straps and these were really hurting my hands for some reason, so I'll throw them in with back day.

If anyone has any 'tips' on the dieting you can throw them my way anytime.. I'm thinking on sticking to the 40/40/20 for now pro/carb/fat
and play with the cals a little

Dips are so hard for me! I have to do assisted dips and they are still hard! My triceps are huge but weak. I really want my bis & tris to be dense but not any bigger. I won't skip them, but lift light with super high reps. Why can't my shoulders be big!?!?

[MitsyKnox]

ok I have a couple pics from my 'motivation' ... the leanest I've been (2006 - bottom photo) and more current at (2009) I know they are only back shots, but it's all I got.... I'm one of those "oh no, you're not taking my picture" type of people...ha ha

Awesome back! Gorgeous!!! Nothing is sexier than a fit back in a backless or racerback shirt/dress.

Yeah, I never had any problem with dips - just with pull ups.. those are killer for me.. seems like it took me FOREVER to get to 4 be myself.. ha ha

thank you I really like that look as well.

Hey! New thread! Yay! Sorry I'm late to the party.

Love the back shots!

40/40/20 sounds like a good plan to play with.

Dips are hard for me, but I like doing them. I like chinups better, less strain for my wrists.

Keep up the great work!

Hi,
will watch you here with the food I used to be the same - I had big troubles when I wrote my own plan to myself - always also had an arument why to NOT do that when someone writes or supervises it to me, I am able to stick on ....

Anyway last precontest in USA I did myself, and I was able to did it - anyway I had support from my fiance.

with food I have 60/20/20 offseason - protein/carb/fat - but it is me and my stupid metabloism I have to run at low carbs all the time ....

Thanks Sunny! Yeah I think for now I'm going to stick with the meal plan.

I seems to favor the 50/30/20 usually.... but I just got 'scolded' by my doc for keeping my protein so high... wth? I can't really diet on a high-carb plan.. geez... I've never tried the 60/20/20 though.. I have to admit I'm pretty much and meat & fresh vege's girl I could live on that for a long time. ha ha

[katt981]

Well, I didn't make it to the gym this morning.. Hopefully when I get home I can get in and get some things done! My hammys are feeling really tight from the workout yesterday. May have to do some cardio to loosen them up a bit.

[The Prodigy]

Glad you are doing well!! Keep working hard!

[Sunnyday]

I respectfully disagree with your doctor on this issue.
I came across an article about high protein diets in Fitness & Physique Magazine, Summer 2011. The article dispels the myths of high protein diets leading to kidney disease, liver damage, osteoporosis, and other health problems (with journal references). It also gives references in support of high protein diets. Studies are all over the place in support of high protein diets, and there is little -if any - scientific validity to the claims that they are unhealthy.
