Pagangoddess's Training Log: Advancement to an Elder Goddess

[FatGuyNoMore]

steady state? intervals? whatever strikes you that day?

[pagangoddess]

Mostly steady state. She's going to be competing next year so she's kicking her cardio into high gear. She's getting me motivated. At least I know I can get a really good ssession in once a week.

[treunlneiss]

Ha ha Steady state. lol sorry engineers love steady state. It makes everything so much easier lol.

Depends on if we did cardio together.

It's been so difficult not to reply like I'd like to......

Tease.

You know where to find me if you change your mind.

[rbtrout]

Now who's being the tease?

You love it and you know it.


Alright everyone I'm off to Lansing for the weekend. I'll catch up on Sunday.

Nice job on the cardio, PG. Hopefully, having a workout partner is helpful.

And LOVE the new smilies...especially the middle finger one

Yeah she gave me the finger. I think she really loves me!

[pagangoddess]

@DJJ - I wouldn't give you a hard time if I didn't like you. So take the fingers as a gesture of friendship. It's fucked up but hey . . it's me.

I'm back from Lansing. Our friends had an emergency so we came home early today. I'm disappointed but I will get over it.

On a positive note the kids will be at grandma's til tomorrow so hubby and I had a whole day together just the two of us. Definintely a rare treat.

This workout fucking sucked. I walked out of the gym more pissed off then when I arrived. I love going to the gym. I leave whatever is bothering me at the door and then it's just me and iron. It's my time. I couldn't get myself in that place tonight. I feel pent up and ready to explode. I'm an intense person to begin with and the last thing I needed tonight was a shitty workout.

I found every lift taxing as hell. I know I have more in me. I wanted one set of 10 @ 115 on my squats. But I didn't get it. I couldn't get my mind in the game. All the benches were being used so I did clean and press after my squats. That only left me feeling fatigued as I went into the bench press. My grip kept slipping on the SLDLs. My hands and forearms are killing me right now.

I think I just need to go to bed. Maybe I'll feel better in the morning.

[atypical1]

The mental part is definitely important. Bummer about the benches being used. I too get in my routine and hate to have it broken up. But sometimes it's nice to concentrate on different exercises.

Here's to feeling better in the morning.

Hang in there PG, everyone has a shit workout. At least you finished it and didn't give up.

[zizzy80]

Sucks when the benches are taken up but I've started using the power rack to bench whenever that happens. Pretty nice since no one hovers around the power rack area.

Shitty workouts will get you stronger because shitty workouts mean you are sticking to it. You'll get there PG.

[muddy]

At least you finished it and didn't give up.

Yeah, that. That counts for a LOT, and that's not just trite feel-good BS.
