Shell Shock!

Whats that?

Doing multiple exercises in one go, like, with an appropriate weighted barbell or dumbbells do, Clean->Squat->Push Press->Pushup->Row. That's 1 rep.

Is that like last night I did a squat while standing on the band and as I came up did a press with them?
 
Kind of, yes - from what I can see, complexes are usually 3 or more exercises strung together. 2 is usually a combo lift. Semantics really as you're working your butt off in either case.

btw ppl I had such a couple of days and I havent drank! Woo Hoo its been 4 days -Im pathtic but its big for me!

You poor thing with the tooth :hug2: Im glad you found something though! The new place does environmental work, but I will be doing my same office stuff - quickbooks, customer service, appointments etc - seems really less then what I do now, and more $$$$ lol. Closer to home too! Oh and way less dressey - which Im not sure if I like, I hate jeans I rather wear dresses, but whatever.

Friday my Trainer totally kicke dmy butt - we jogged/walked 2miles,20min. Then the idea of a crueling leg workout was beyond my craziest nightmare! I did tons of walking lunges all diffrent ways with the medicine ball to hit the core too. It was pure torture!

Thanks Shellsy! hope u like the new job! well, i had to push my start date to monday b/c i'm still all screwed up from the oral surgery. i'm still bleeding and my stitches fell out the first day. the antibiotics kicked my ass! i'm so weak from them. the dr. told me to stop taking them. i'm still weak. ugh! anyhow, i couldn't workout all week which i'm upset about. i had to postpone the new job but luckily they were understanding about the whole thing. this job is farther away from me and all the same stuff too, but the same pay. can't be too picky with a job though these days b/c of the economy, we are lucky to even have jobs. so, where's the before/after pics??!! the best pics are when you can see difference. i think it would be great to share and to inspire others. keep up the great work!
 
My workout tuesday kicked my a$$ -literally, I did a lot of walking lunges and my thighs and butt are so sore. Since I'm off and it was AWESOME out did a lot of walking and yesterday did walk/jog for 30min -I really hate jogging, I have no stamina. I'm going to train in a lil bit, and I know he has a 20min jog as a start :bncry:

Been doing good until yesterday drink wise. Me and the husband had it out Wednesday and all is fine now, so we went out to unwind yesterday and I had a lot to drink -lots of LongIsland Ice teas :eek: dreading working out today because of it.

I'm down too cause as much as I feel better about myself I hate my friggen mid section. Maybe I'm just to hard on myself, but I wish it would tighten up like the rest of me has. I wonder if me uping my cardio on my own will get that going?


Lil - Im glad the job is cool, but jeesh on what you're going through!! Hang in there chicky. :D
 
[tough love]Dropping the Long Island Iced Teas will get you a tight midsection a lot quicker than any cardio will.[/tough love]

Thanks Shellsy! You hang in there too because results will show. Don't give up. You're doing great and in time that midsection will start toning up as well. Try not to think so much about it and just go with the flow and keep up the good work with your trainer and in time you'll see more results. I would discuss your feelings with your trainer as well, but it's going to take time no matter what.
 
shellsy anything new going on? how r u doing?
