I began a new lifting program on Tuesday. I spent the day yesterday pleasantly stiff.
As I wrote in that post, I am following the routine from BodyBuilding.com ‘as directed’, or at least I am trying. The gym was great tonight; not too many people. There were a couple guys there that have been consistent cheerleaders in my body transformation efforts. I get an amazing feeling when a guy who has worked hard on his physique tells me that I’m looking good.
**Check out some of the comments (and commentors) on my BodySpace page.
I wasn’t really focused tonight; I was talking with the other guys, we watched parts of the McCain speech (meh!) and wasn’t listening to my iPod, so I only completed 5/8 of the exercises in today’s routine.

WHOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That’s awsome!!! I am starting to do the darn thing John … since we work together i hope to learn a lot from you . I HATE dieting and have NEVER been successful at it . I have commented on a few of your buddies blogs … after reading some of them , I have to admit, I am inspired this may be a new beginning for me. I don’t think I can get any bigger and still motate… I am pushing maximum density here and IT MUST STOP!!!! I am not a fan of the womens fatblogging sites.. cause its all about .”whaaaaaaaaaa !! I’m fat.” you men just do it and get it done with minimal whinning. I apppriceate that. I have always communicated better with men. I have 6 brothers and 3 sons, so …hopefully this will help where nothing else has…. so thanks for inviting me to participate. … angie
