Being sick sucks on so many levels. I do not get sick like others, in that I rarely if ever get sick enough to stay home from work. I just feel crappy and a bit run down is all. But now I have this snotty cough that is driving me nuts.
Ok sorry for the whining. On a good note I tried on a pair of 44 pants and I am about 2 weeks away from feeling ok to wear them! Have not seen that size in 8 years! -------------- When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant and which know me not, I am frightened and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then.

Side note but funny story about walmart dress pants if i may
My wife had gotten me some dress pnats from wal-mart to start my very first job out of college. I got dressed that morning and got to the job early. I forgot my pen so the only pen I had in my auto was a budweiser pen. I was nervous about that because showing up with a beer pen. Well, I waited in the parking lot until about 5 min till then got out to go start my new career. When I got out, I dropped the bud pen. When I went to pick it up, I RIPPED MY PANTS and I do not mean a small tear. They ripped from the seam in the crotch to the seam at the belt loop. I could have almost been able to take my legs out of the pants whithout taking off the top of the pants. I had to decide if I went in with the ripped pants or be late to my first day on my first real job. I went in |

It was a small branch of American General - I went in and my boss was the only person there at the time. He was already into doing something so he asked if I could sit down and wait for him. I showed him my pants and asked if I could go home to change. He let me. The running joke at work for yrs was the I really showed my butt on my first day. I have never bought walmart dress pants since

My hubby has a pair of shorts that have a hole in the crotch that I keep forgetting to sew, and he keeps wearing them out in public because he forgets about the hole. It's a good thing I always make sure he's wearing clean undies before he goes out! :laugh:

I hate that also Mutt. Unfortunately this maybe an ugly reality. Losing a lot of weight means you'll be losing a lot of strength also. If you do get down to 220 you wont have that bulk to help you push the weight. But your health is more important. I think slowly you'll be able to regain your strength but I think it maybe a lot more difficult than you have previously thought and take considerably more time. But this is where focus, drive, dedication come in. I know you're great at all those things so you will sooner or later get to your goals.
(sorry didnt mean to put a damper on your goals but I think the contest preparation maybe a bit too premature given that your body is undergoing drastic changes) | |

I hear ya Menance, but that is not going to stop me. I am weaker and maybe pushing the envelop a bit, but I am stronger each week, so For now I will stick with my plan......I am in the very early stages. The ME bench was to gain an Idea of where I stood in terms of over all strength as was the 275 squat I missed. Just so i know how much I need to gain and how long. IF I am ready for a meet great if not that is fine as well.-------------- When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant and which know me not, I am frightened and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then.

Well I went up in speed bench and sh press over last week...nice feeling. 155x3 reps for 9 sets for bench. My last set of SH presses was 135x4 i could only get it 1 time last week.
Another note, I am determined to get going on using boards in my pressing. I think I will do them for the (3rd) cycle of my workoutplan. -------------- When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant and which know me not, I am frightened and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then.

Ok each night we have to take vitamns and such, she forgets hers so I have taken over that job and give what she needs each night to her. Last night like a lunk head she took them lying down and threw them backup. So she sits up my back is to her she cries out asking for a towel etc. I turn around and see that she has gagged them back up and say "jesus, you are just as bad as Alex" Alex has inheriented her gag reflex and is always puking it seems. She gets mad says I made her feel like shit and turns over back tome. I try to start to aoplogize by rubbing the sore spot on her back and she flinches my hand off and says" do not bother" SO I DO NOT BOTHER and I go to sleep.
SOOO this morning I call her to see if she is ok how the boys re etc. Ia sk are you still mad she says yes and hangs up. SO I do not get it. -------------- Curl Jockeys, get outta the squat rack! 7707mutt@freetrainers.com |

Ok...because I'm totally pregnant, I can relate to your wifes...irrationality. When she told you not to bother, DO NOT GO BACK TO SLEEP!!! That when it's time for an "I'm sorry sweetie I didn't mean anything by it" and a snuggle(even though she wasn't acting in a deserving way). I'll bet she was half awake all night thinking what a jerk you are for being able to fall asleep while she was obviously still upset, and that made her more upset. I can give you my husbands # and he can give you some pointers on this one lol.
