I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

You should increase your whey intake, it'll help with the soreness, fills you up too.
Male 37 - 5'9" - 240lb.
Deadlift 600+
Squat 500+
Pess 315 (on a good day)
Bench 450+
these numbers will go up

I'll try it Jim. I can mix it with gatorade and drink it after my workout.

I was fortunate in that my in laws took my kids last night and won't be bringing them home until later. So rather than sleep in I met up with an acquaintence/friend and did some cardio. I've chatted with her at the gym over the years but she recently tracked me down facebook when we realized we had a mutual friend.

Anyway . . . . I did 45 minutes of cardio this morning.

Maybe a daft question: on the cardio sessions, what are you aiming to do? (It's on an elliptical, right?) Heart rate at a certain level, or maintain a strides/minute rating, or certain wattage, or ... ? Also, how do you get through it? TV on, headphones and music, alone with your own thoughts?

The whole point is to burn fat. I don't really aim for a specific hear rate. I'm just trying to work up a good sweat.

I usually do 15 minutes of cardio before my workouts in the second week so getting through it isn't that bad. I don't like tv so I listen to music. Usually some dance tunes.

Today I had company so I was able to visit with her while I did cardio. She has competed in figure 6 different times. It was nice picking her brain and learning all that's involved in the process.

I do despise it but I want the fat % to go down more. That and I had good company. :D

Hopefully this didn't result in the two of you chatting and giggling like litte girls instead of doing a workout. The gym's purpose is to work until you collapse in tears with exhaustion, not socialize damn it! :mrgreen:

No. We were not giggling and chatting. We were speaking in short sentences in between huffs and puffs. I was drenched by the time I finished.

She loves cardio. I'm hoping some of her enthusiasm will wear off on me.
