Whoa! Still at it with those darn LUNGES. Well, I do not agree, "No Pain, No Gain". And if it IS true...oh well, I guess I'll just have to see some gains SLOWLY... and comfortably. *smile*

Hey Nikki! Knee comig along nicely. And "squats" is not even a word I use these days {lol}. I am getting good size increase with my program of leg presses and curls. That size difference is decreasing favorably. And YOU? Macros doing right by ya'? *smile*

Me too...blushing. Roman? I know the movement, but I am having a total 'brain fart'. *smile* No worries of name rememberance. Just be careful. SO....How dem' macros lookin'?!

HEYYYYY GIRLY! Long time no "speak". Yeppers, but I ain't much. Leg Presses are challenge enough. Those, deadlifts and calf raises are my leg exercises. Yeah...that brace "rocks". Gotta' be one of the cutest ever! It's even got a name plate on it..."Dawn C" *smile* How's UR progress? Macros still jacking with ya'!? ahhhHhHHahhhHHAH

WHAT challenge?! Don't understand why u r considering any such carb cycling. At this point in "the game" I think slow and steady shall win u the race. Best to get ur body functioning like you desire. The continued maintenance will BE THERE...beyond any time frame of any cycling period. ~Dawn Melanie

AhhAHHAHhhAhAHAAA...trick it is! btw - I'm not laughing "At" you...but with you. Counting macronutrients is about as funny as busted ACLs. I feel your pain...AHAHAHAHAAHAAH! ~Dawn Melanie

OK...you absolutely KNOW that I will be peaking and critiquing...putting my 2-cents in from time to time. Right?!!!! ~Dawn Melanie

Well, I full-heartedly give exercise a chance. But, for dinner tonight, I ate 2-Jr. Whoopers, 1 Chicken Sandwhich and a Large Order of Fries. :-) Even I fall off the wagon sometimes. (see my blog, "2-Bacon Cheeseburgers, 1-Dbl Stack. Nuggets, Potato...)

Mar 21, 2007 12:50am

Got it. So you apparently kicked up cardio a notch or 2 BEFORE the stupid injury, eh?

Mar 21, 2007 12:43am

Yep...bad link it was. PT - not much. People spend more time making excuses NOT to train. Results are not achieved through magic, but many don't realize this. Why? --Dawn Melanie

Mar 21, 2007 12:39am

Well, I can do 90degree squats...no weight or maybe a 20lb. bar. Deadlifts are ok. Stairmaster, tredmill, bike and elliptical at HIGH intensity. I feel like am on a most onerous task. --Dawn Melanie

Heheheeheheheee! Thanks, but those knee pics, especially the "internal views" are most wicked and graphic. --Danw Melanie

Mar 21, 2007 12:32am

Me TOO! April I have my 6 months follow up. I just KNOW he is going to give me clearance to lift with it. That give me 4 months to return to the stage. It's going to be an uphill challenge. I'm still at a 3cm differential. Won't fit me for custom brace until 1 cm differential. :-( Dawn Melanie

Mar 21, 2007 12:23am

Wow. I'm 5 month post reconstructive ACL surgery. I'm near Addison...near the Galleria. --Dawn Melanie
