Yep. I used to eat it, but I've grown to hate it. It's liver-ish.

Ender · 02-18-2008, 01:16 PM

You might want to take your pb smilie from your siggie, just until you can actually eat it again.

Rico · 02-18-2008, 01:35 PM

We need to see a starting point.....

hehehehe

Ha ha - good point.

FYI - be sure and enter "some" type of sig - because the countdown requires that you have a sig so it has something to latch onto.

Elle · 02-19-2008, 08:30 AM

But, I never stopped loving my PB!

Yesterday's Workout:
Rear delts cable rows w/ rope: 5 sets, 6-8 reps
Seated DB lat raises: 4 sets, 8-10 reps
Pulley EZ bar front raise SS Pulley upright rows: 4 sets, 8-10 reps
Seated overhead tri ext w/ ez bar: 5 sets, 6-8 reps

I did not get in all my foods yesterday. Lack of organisation.

Mr_Chris777 · 02-19-2008, 08:40 AM

Good thing you got that extra minute of cardio on top of your 30.

And at first I misread that last word in your post. Or-gan-i-sa-tion makes much more sense though than what I initially saw. Carry on.

Chris...I am shocked....uhmmmm, no, not really.

I bought a bunch of tea. Going to pick up some Walden Farms chemicals...

Oh...I really need to learn to cook chicken without drying it out. So gross.

kritter · 02-19-2008, 02:23 PM

Good Luck! I am excited to follow along

Yes dried out chicken is gross. If you are like me, then you will finally make some of it right, where it really tastes good, then the next time you can't remember what you did and it turns out gross.

Elle · 02-19-2008, 02:27 PM

^^^

Yep, that is me! I'm going to buy some ground turkey. Much better!

Ender · 02-19-2008, 02:36 PM

On the stovetop: Make sure that you aren't cranking up the heat. Cook on medium. You can also add something liquidity in the pan. It helps a lot. After it's cooked, you can crank the heat up to medium high so that you cook off all the liquid.

MSKat · 02-19-2008, 03:09 PM

Brine it before you cook it. Never had a dried out piece when I did that.

Elle · 02-19-2008, 07:35 PM

Good back workout!

I really love working back now that I really know how.

Wide parallele grip pulldowns SS straight arm pulldowns: 5 sets, 8-10 reps
Close grip cable rows: 4 sets, 8-10 reps
1-arm high pulley rows: 4 sets, 8-10 reps
Seated calf raises SS leg press calf raises: 5 sets, 10 reps
Standing calf raises: 10 x 10 with 15 sec ri b/n sets

You did. I'm just refreshing the memory.

Elle · 02-20-2008, 08:14 AM

Pics will happen. I'm dragging my digi camera around, but see, I don't drop my pants for just anyone! There was no one at the gym yesterday to take my pics. Latest tomorrow evening cuz I am meeting up with my suit making partner for a fitting with one of our figure girls.

Weight = 169.5lbs Buh-bye 170's....I hope!

**Fireproof** · 02-20-2008, 08:33 AM

Good stuff. On your way now.

And I don't know about others, but I'm glad you don't drop your pants for just anyone.

Mr_Chris777 · 02-20-2008, 09:03 AM

I would be interested in seeing the pants drop list please.
