Another good day today. Mood has definetly improved (about time). Food was clean today, ate all my meals as planned. Training was good, still ache a bit from yesterday though. Did legs tonite so i know they are gonna ache tomorrow.

Had a really good weekend. No training.
but food was good, ate when i was supposed to .And for the first time in a long time got through the wkend
without eating anything that i shouldnt of done.
So well chuffed.  

Oooh painful today.

Did a really hard legs push yesterday. was doing lunges holding a barbell with weight behind my kneck. Got down with the lunge but couldnt get up again. Threw the weight forward but as i went back caught my lower back (top of me bum... no laughing). on the leg of the bench.

Hurts like hell, legs ache so i feel as if i have been run over today.
Was supposed to go do some stretching today, brought my gym bag anyway and just have to see how it goes.

feel 4 ya jo. od that a woman is training alone. at my gym there would be 20 guys lined up to spot you.

espechly on lunges!! ''down and up, and down i'm with ya all the way come on its your set you fooking lift it''

(have just replied to this but dont know where its gone !!!)so we will try again.

Thanx dean, i did have my trainer with me, but it happened so quickly no one could have done anything.
Did my workout last nite, couldnt lift as much as i normally do , which was a bit frustrating. It just kept catching the bit that hurts.   and i couldnt pick weights up off the floor which
was annoying.
Did about a 40minute workout so not a total loss. Hopefully the pain will go pretty soon.

Fridays workout was good, still a few probs with pain and not being able to use the weight that i usually
would. Well chuffed though managing to use 20kg dumbells for the single db rows.  

Apart from that diet is good so all on the right track i think.




Back
single db rows
seated lat pull down
seated lat pull - x machine
seated lat pull back machine
single arm pulls x- machine

Tough weekend, backs a lot better, still a bit of pain not sure how im going to go with my legs workout
tomorrow.
Weekend food wise has been crap, motivation has taken a dip, always does when i feel as if im on my own
not sure how to get out of the mindset that i need someone behind me all the time.
I know i want it, and i thought i had someone by my side to help, how f**king wrong was i.  
Then i just ask myself questions, and think i cant do it. WHEN I KNOW DAMN WELL I CAN.

Just frustrating.

I think we've all had laspes, I know I definatley have.... Its a case if jumping back on the bike when you've fallen from it... if have eat crap at the weekend or g out on a bender with my mates, i feel guilty as hell the next day, but this gives me more determination to eat & train hard the following week. And when the next weekend comes around, ill consider my diet harder and maybe go for a run, remembering how I let myself go the previous wkend.... Its about carrying on with it, not many people can be 100%, but 95-99% is bloody good and you will make it.
I've had training partners, they've come & gone... I train better by myself now..... You have everyones support on here! Be strong & believe....!

in all honesty jo you seem very commited to this and r doing well you post almost every day on your journal and keep your diet going well.

andy i dont think jo was refering to a training partner but more real partner?? corect me if i'm wrong.

letting your diet slip can some times help. it will mix thing up a bit. most pro bb have a 'eat what you want day' once every two weeks.

thanx for that,

with regards to the partner thing, it was just someone that said they were going to help
and give me some support, nothing more than that.

We all go for this at one stage because in general we all make mistakes..but its how we cope with them is the main thing. But you do well in the sense you keep going where others fail. so chin up . Your doing well to stay in the game even tho you having been having the best of times.

down the line a 6 months or a year on you will be at a differnt level now and look back and thank god you didnt stop because there will be a link of men drooooooling behind you lol. in serious tho its nice to see you still here going strong .

Thanx tank means loads,  
already decided today screw anyone else that doesnt want to help or support me, just not sure i can do it on my own that's all.  as for the men drooooling...... bring em on i can
cope with that...lol..
Looking forward to gym tonite, supposed to be legs but not sure what im going to be able to manage. or might look at changing it and doing something else.
As there is still some pain there, bit annoying.

Attempted a push session tonite with the trainer, but it was supposed to be leg nite. Didnt happen it was just too painful on my lower back. Didnt matter what i tried to do it just hurt too much. Tried pushing through the pain but was just too bad.
Well frustrating. Looking forward to tomorrows workout , shoulders.

If your suffering pain. rest up and take it easy.. id consider a sports massarge if it carries on + try sneak in a swim..always find a good swim is good for my muscles if ive got any aches or pains.

Hit the gym and enjoy it..get home and try rest as much as poss..easy to say i know! but in no time you'll be ready to get hardcore again.

check tank out massarge+ swim costume. lol where you from jo local to tank? i'm sure he'll travel.
