I have taken a few steps back and realized that Stacia Cardillo's life is healthy and happy. I have three beautiful kids, my husband has a good job and takes really good care of us and I have my jobs and they all make me really happy. I know that I bitch about all the small stuff which really shouldn't matter but it is still fun to complain :-)
Blogging early because I really do need to get by ass to bed early tonight. My body is tired, my eyes look it and I just need some good sound sleep.
First words of the day "Mommy I peed my bed!".....oh here we go! It was 6:20 a.m. and that was our wakeup call. Time to change some bed sheets and do laundry.
WOD - 10K run for time = ????? I forgot my watch so I have no idea how long it took me to run. My legs are very tired from all the biking and the 7 mile run from Monday. I was going to swim today instead but that would mean I would have to do the 10K tomorrow and I'm not going to do it on the treadmill since the weather is supposed to be bad. I decided to switch and just do the run today. I felt really good but unfortunately there are numerous hills around work. Two very short and steep hills really did me in on the way back. I needed to stop and walk for about 20 seconds and then continue. I was upset with myself for stopping but the quick walk gave me the boost that I needed and during that break my heart rate was able to sneak down a bit.
Now I'm back to my desk plugging in all my work and I'm already behind schedule. Damn!
Ass - Awful! I'm telling you that work is really bothering me. This sitting is painful and I need to figure out how to fix the problem. Maybe quit! Nope! Can't do that. I felt the nerve/muscle pulling a bit in the beginning of my run but then my legs warmed up and I didn't feel it anymore. I also stretched really good afterwards and that felt great. But as soon as I sit for longer then 5 minutes I'm in trouble.
Food - Shake, granola bar for breakfast, ham/cheese roll ups, carrot/hummus, diet soda for lunch. I also have my cantaloupe and yogurt to have later this afternoon. Leftover chicken for supper tonight. I hope it is still good.

I want to get horizontal so bad I can taste it!
I'm so damn tired. My body is itching to get into bed and I can't get there quick enough tonight.
Another crazy day picking things up at the store, painting bathroom, having Mom over for lunch, laundry, feeding animals, nap time for Roxy, working out, preparing dinner, packing lunches for tomorrow, checking e-mails, blogging and now getting kids to bed. I still need to shower, pack my lunch for work tomorrow, pack my gym back for my workout tomorrow morning, take my vitamins, brush my teeth and THEN I can SLEEP! Oh how lovely it will be to snuggle up under my covers with my electric blanket on. I'm so esssssited!
WOD - Deadlifts (1/2 bodyweight = 95lbs) 21 times, 400m sprint (8.5), 9 situps, 15 deadlifts, 400m sprint (8.5) 15 situps, 9 deadlifts, 400m sprint (8.6), 21 situps then bike 4 X 5K's (3.1 miles totally 12.4 miles). Added a few extra miles in for warmup and cool down. Phew! WO #2 was teaching another class tonight for an hour (1 min out of seat, 1 min rest, 2 min out, 1 min rest, 3 min out, 1 min rest, 4 min out, 1 min rest, 5 min out, 1 min rest then back down from 5 to 1). My legs are shot!
Food - No sugar today. Giddy up! Shake, nuts, salad, yogurt, granola bar, diet soda, 1 slice of pizza and turkey sausage soup. I'm pretty damn proud of myself......and OH YEAH, I completely forgot to mention this but I got on the scale this morning for HA HA's. 192.5 pounds. I have no idea how I just went down 3 pounds but I love it! I even got a compliment tonight.......Love you Ellen Arce!
Kids - Roxy was very tired so I had to walk on eggshells around her. Chilled out after gym and put her down for a nap. She didn't nap too long but it was long enough for her to catch up. Lincoln was the one that fell apart after school. Needless to say he fell asleep at 3:45 p.m. and work up at 5:15 p.m. Trinity is punished so she is not allowed to watch TV so we played outside for over an hour after school. It was such a beautiful day out.
Ass - It's there! Nothing new to report.......damn ass!
Time to catch up on a quick show before bed. Goodnight!

Trial and Tribulations of Parenthood
To nap or not to nap. That was Roxy's dilemma today. She chose to nap for 20 minutes. GREAT!
To decorate for Easter or to take a shower. That was my dilemma today. I chose to do both but the shower was 15 seconds long. Enough time to scrub my bits.
To punish or not to punish. That was Todd's and my dilemma today. We chose to punish. Trinity received a call home from the Principal. She is too damn nosey that she decided to get involved in something that she shouldn't care about! Just like her mother.
What a day! Taught class, headed to sisters house to drop off cooler, let her dog out for a pee break, dropped off glasses at a friends house, back home, lunch, folded clothes, outside to hang eggs from my trees, feed the rabbits, get kids off bus, homework, prep dinner, neighbor visits, phone keeps ringing, make dinner, eat dinner, shower, head to school for Talent Show rehearsal, back home, kids to bed, long talk with Trinity and here I am.
WOD - Class today so I did not follow my sheet. We rode uphill for about 3 miles, jumped off the bikes and did a circuit of pushups, situps, jumping jacks and squats, rode again, circuit, rode one last time then off for a nice long stretch.
Food - Other then the typical afternoon munchies I did okay. No sugar in the house so I was munching on Cheez-It's, crackers and cheese and some peanuts.
Ass - Not too bad today. I felt it on the bike a little bit but I didn't sit all day so it does not bother me. I did stretch really good after class to help it out a bit too.
I just need my bed so I'm going to sign off right now. Oh yeah! I forgot to blog yesterday so I just wanted to let you know that I did my 7 miles. I actually ran for 1:07:00 which I'm praying is at least 7 miles. I'll have to clock what I ran. Windy run but was okay!

You get a haircut and nobody notices you!
 |
| Joe and I at today's Tri. Here's my new do. |
I really wasn't home today. At gym for indoor tri at 8 a.m., did not get home until 2:30 p.m. Ran the kids over to neighbors house to play. I was their pitcher so they could play baseball. Back home at 4:30 p.m. to throw supper in the oven, out in the car with Trinity to hit Ocean State Job Lot, back home by 5:15 p.m. Needed bread and milk....dammit! Back out into the car to hit store for bread and milk and finally home by 5:45 p.m. to finish off super and eat. PHEW! What the hell just happened today.
WOD - Supposed to run 7 miles but I keep putting it off. Didn't want to do it yesterday, so I was going to do it today, didn't want to do it today so I will do it tomorrow. How bad am I? I pulled Tuesday's workout off the sheet and did that today......300 squats for time = 7:24. I literally rolled out of bed at 6:55 a.m. hit the potty and sat in front of my TV in my bedroom with my jammies on and did the 300 squats. Showered after and got ready for my busy day.
Food - Shake, apple, yogurt, salad with chicken and then BAM! Carrot cake, cookies and a brownie. All that stuff is left over from our Friday night party and it is still in my house. Todd and I have been enjoying it all weekend long and I think I just need to dump it all tomorrow. However, I really do hate to waste some yummy treats! But we did have some yummy chicken, green beans and potatoes for supper.
Ass - tight this morning but felt good all day. I never sat so that is why it felt so good. However, I'm sitting right now so it will be interesting to get up. Oh boy!
Kids - L and T are feeling better but not 100%. They are going to school tomorrow so they better be fine. Roxy is the only germ free kid right now. I hope it stays that way. This mama can't afford to be sick!
Weekend is over. It was a wonderful weekend and now I'm ready to start my week.....NOT!

"Mom can I buy this? Can we get that? Look at what they have Mom, can we get it?"
That is all they do when we go to the stores. It's beyond annoying! For once I would like to just walk into a store, look for what I need, maybe browse for myself or the house and leave without anybody bugging me to buy something. UGH!!!
So my party last night did not end until 12:30 a.m. and I was sober the entire time. Not one drink hit my lips! No idea why I wasn't drinking. Maybe I was just too busy making sure everybody was so damn happy that I didn't get "happy" myself. It was loads of fun though. My Dad's friends are awesome and I love them to pieces.
In bed at 12:30 a.m. and at 2 a.m. Roxy was up for some strange reason. Walked her back to her bed and then I was up with her at 6:20 a.m. Oh my word! I felt like I drank a whole case of beer. I was tired and I had a headache. I just knew it was going to be a long day but it was a great day. I had patience this morning, shockingly enough and the kids were really good. T and L are still fighting their yuckies so they napped this afternoon while Roxy napped. This Mama had to clean up the garage and do chores but I did find time to sit on the couch and catch up with Dancing With The Stars. Love that show!
WOD- Nada! I'm too damn tired to workout. I'll save my energy for my 7 mile run tomorrow. That is going to be interesting.
Food - Not interested in healthy today. I was pretty good last night without eating many apps and desserts. However, I did eat some but not alot and there was plenty. Today is a different story. Too many cookies and cake leftover that I happen to be snacking on it all day. But in moderation though :-)
Ass - Sore this morning but I haven't really sat all day so I'm not hurting as much. We'll see how it feels after my long run tomorrow.
TV time..............................

Five million things going on at once! Story of my life!
I'm going to post early today because I'm having a big party at my house tonight and I will not have the mind frame to sit and blog. I will either be two sheets to the wind or beyond exhausted. I'm going to guess both.
Two sick children on my hands today. Ran one to mediquick at 7:30 a.m. for a sore throat which is strep. The other one has green monsters flying out of her nose. It's totally like that Mucinex commercial. These guys are big and mean. The poor thing blew through 5 tissues and the green goup kept coming. Needles to say her eyes were very glossy and she was not happy. Two phone calls to the school nurses and off to Papa's house to chill. Big momma has to work and so doesn't daddy. Sorry kids! At least Roxy is healthy for now!
WOD - I was supposed to do a long workout at 5:30 a.m. but I had no energy to do it so I brought my stuff to work and hit the work gym. I had to row but some bimbo was on the rowing machine barely sweating. I wanted to drag her off that thing by her pony tail. Come on girlfriend, I need the damn machine to workout HARD. Get the F!@#$ off!!!!! That is what I say in my head but I chose to find an alternative route. So here we go: 21 burpees, 3 mile bike (13 on resistance pumping out 100rpm), 15 burpees, 6 mile bike, 9 burpees and 9 mile bike. I was supposed to row in between and do 12 miles after the 9 but I had no time an I think 18 miles of biking with 45 burpees is plenty for today. Not an inch of dry shorts or shirt so I guess my workout paid off. My heart rate was on average of 143 the whole time which is a great fat burning pace. Burn baby burn!
Food - Another great day! Shake for breakfast, gluten free granola bar, pb&j on whole wheat sandwich thin and it was the real PB (100% peanuts). No skippy today. An apple, carrots with hummus and now I'm chomping on gum. I'll have my yogurt in a bit and once I'm home I will party it up like a rock star and eat pizza and desserts. I'll "try" to be somewhat good.
My ass is a mess again. I actually noticed that my lower body is completely sore. I don't have the movement that I used too. I feel really sore and achy. These tree trunks are heavy suckers and can take anything but maybe they are getting beat on too much. I walk and bend down like I'm 80 years old. But for now I'm sitting on my bosses baseball. Not for kicks my friends but rolling it around on my sore ass. Quite funny actually but it does help. My boss says he doesn't want it back :-)
Work is totally nuts and I have 5 things pending right now and all due at the same time. That is the TV world for ya. Always in a time crunch.
Giddy Up!

I love old people!!!!
On my way home from the gym at lunch time today I drove past this really thin, old man walking. He was wearing a large brim hat, coat with gloves, shorts, tube socks and sneakers. I was so happy to see him outside getting fresh air. It did make me wonder what I will be like when I'm his age. Will I still be exercising? Will I be able to actually move is the big question :-)
Work day today so my butt was miserable, I was in a constant time crunch today because of work, my lunch time workout, hair appointment after work, picking up my daughter at her friends after that and then back home. Once home it was pack lunches, feed the cats, unpack my bags, working on the computer for the Tri Club for Sunday's race and now I'm blogging. It is 9:21 and I really need to get my sore butt to bed.
WOD - Swim 100 yards, 5 squats, 5 pushups 8X's for time = 18:41. The best part about this workout today is the following:
A. My husband met me for lunch and we worked out together
B. In a small way it gave my legs a big break
C. It was only 18 minutes of my time
Even though it was short I still really felt my heart rate get up pretty high.
My butt is miserable today. Sitting sucks but I have no choice but to sit at work. I won't get anything done if I keep getting up to walk around. I'm in the TV business so everything needs to be done at a certain time. If it's not done I am totally screwed. I'm even sitting right now and I can feel my ass getting cranky.
As for my food today I did GREAT! However, I was starving all day. I wasn't hungry due to boredom but hungry because I was really hungry. I had my protein shake, apple, salad with turkey and cheese, yogurt, gluten free granola bar, cup of tea, cup of sugar free hot coca, handful of almonds and a bagel with cream cheese for supper (needed something on the fly before my hair cut).
Time to clean some stuff up because I'm having a big party at my house tomorrow night and since I am at work I won't be home to get it done during the day.

No Such Thing as NO WILL POWER!
I have will power to get up everyday and face the chores that need to be done. I have will power to workout everyday and make sure that my workout is 100%. I have will power to mother my children and to be the best mother that I can be. So why don't I have will power to eat right? So I do have will power but not just in all the right places.
So I sat down with a friend and he shed some light on nutrition for me. I came right out and admitted that I am a sugar addict which is truly a disease like alcoholism or cocaine addiction. I find it funny but also serious!
The conversation was educational. Talked about higher fiber in my diet, eating organic, less saturated fats and of course NO SUGAR! The things you know about but aren't educated enough about it. It made me think and will help me choose which foods to eat etc. Now I don't want to spend tons of money at Whole Foods but maybe I'll look into it.
WOD - 8 X 400m (.25 mile sprints). Did this at 8.5 on the treadmill and let me just tell you that 8 sprints was really hard. By the 5th one I was toast. The last three I had to pull out of my ass. By the time I warmed up and took breaks between my sprints I did over 4 miles. PHEW! Back again for WOD #2 in class tonight riding 5 miles, 25 sit ups, 5 miles, 25 situps and 3 miles....all at race pace. I've had my fill today.
My legs/butt is killing me from all the lunges yesterday. I can't believe how sore I am. I'm having a tough time sitting on the toilet or even just touching my toes. I look like an old nelly walking around.
Ass - My butt issue is still bad but with the soreness it makes it worse. I just need to stretch really good which I have not done. I'm stretching just to get by but nothing intense. Hurts too much!
Food - Did good today. I did have a handful of skittles before class but not bad compared to how I have been in the past few weeks. I'm just super hungry now which sucks! I can't stand going to bed hungry.
Kids - Roxy and I had a good day today. We played, she helped me dust, we read books and then she napped. The hard part is when the other two get home from school. That is when all hell breaks loose.
Time for bed to get back up and do it all again. Yippy!

Tick Tock! Tick Tock!
Is it bedtime yet? I'm pooped and ready to hit the hay but I still have some stuff to do before that. First thing I need to do is SHOWER! I'm going to embarrass myself and disgust you but I haven't showered since Saturday after skiing. It's freaking Tuesday night. Can you see that I don't care about myself and that I do everything else before scrubbing my own ass. I won't even discuss the shaving part. At least I have been putting clean underwear and clothes on each day.
WOD - Taught class today so pulled some stuff off the "white sheet"; Bike for 4 - 5miles, 10 and then 20 reps of lunges, squats, pushups and burpees, bike for 4 - 5 miles, 10 and then 20 reps of lunges, squats, pushups and situps and then back on the bike for another 3 - 4 miles. After my first round of the 10 reps I was okay but when I had to do the 20 reps I wanted to throw up. It was the burpees that killed me. I had a very hard time getting back on the bike to teach. I really did feel sick. That is why the 2nd set I substituted the situps for the burpees. I could not do them again! I kicked my own ass in class and my legs were really feeling it. I just need to make sure I swim tomorrow to give the legs a break.
Food - All the sugar is out of my house so I cannot cheat or misbehave. I had my protein shake for breakfast, salad with turkey, cheese and egg for lunch, yogurt for snack, a handful of skittles (okay not all the sugar is out), pork chops cooked in coconut oil with red peppers and carrots and hummus for supper. Not too bad today.
Kids - Roxy and I had a good day. I just had to do the normal "stop that Roxy", "get off of the chair", "don't hit your brother", "put your coat back on", "don't talk to mommy that way!" and the famous "get in your room! you are in timeout!". She did get her haircut today and screamed while we were there. Two seconds after she's happy as can be. Her hair looks cute as hell. Lincoln and Trinity can be pain in the asses but they are easier to handle. They understand that momma means business!
Ass - Very achy again today. It was bothering me on the bike and I think the lunges are going to make it really sore. I just need to stretch good tonight. I haven't been following DR's orders. Shame on me!
Time to shower before something distracts me~!
WOD - Taught class today so pulled some stuff off the "white sheet"; Bike for 4 - 5miles, 10 and then 20 reps of lunges, squats, pushups and burpees, bike for 4 - 5 miles, 10 and then 20 reps of lunges, squats, pushups and situps and then back on the bike for another 3 - 4 miles. After my first round of the 10 reps I was okay but when I had to do the 20 reps I wanted to throw up. It was the burpees that killed me. I had a very hard time getting back on the bike to teach. I really did feel sick. That is why the 2nd set I substituted the situps for the burpees. I could not do them again! I kicked my own ass in class and my legs were really feeling it. I just need to make sure I swim tomorrow to give the legs a break.
Food - All the sugar is out of my house so I cannot cheat or misbehave. I had my protein shake for breakfast, salad with turkey, cheese and egg for lunch, yogurt for snack, a handful of skittles (okay not all the sugar is out), pork chops cooked in coconut oil with red peppers and carrots and hummus for supper. Not too bad today.

Whirlwind!
How the hell do my days just go by so fast. I have no idea what just happened today. But I might as well list out my crazy schedule for you:
8:15 a.m. @ bus stop
8:30 a.m. @ grocery store
10:00 a.m. @ home unpacking groceries
11:15 a.m. @ gym for workout
12:24 p.m. done with workout and feeding Roxy Subway at gym.
1:25 p.m. @ home picking up Trinity at bus stop. 1/2 day today due to parent conferences
1:45 p.m. putting Roxy down for nap
2:50 p.m. @ bus stop picking up Lincoln
3:00 p.m. feeding everybody snacks
3:30 p.m. Roxy wakes up from nap
4:00 p.m. Father-in-law shows up to watch the kids
4:15 p.m. Todd and I bring Trinity's friend home (she came over after school)
4:30 p.m. @ school for conference with Trinity's teacher
4:45 p.m. in room
5:15 p.m. conference is over
5:20 p.m. told all the kids to get their shoes on because we're going to Pagliacci's for supper. You too Papa!
5:30 p.m. @ restaurant
6:30 p.m. back home with very full bellies
7:00 p.m. Roxy and Lincoln are done with bathes
7:20 p.m. in bed with Roxy reading her books
7:45 p.m. done reading and trying to keep Roxy in bed
8:00 p.m. on phone making some calls about a party I'm having Friday night.
8:20 p.m. on couch blogging and watching Amazing Race
Phew! Now, in between all this I did two loads of laundry and Trinity's friend was over to practice for the school talent show. Rehearsal is March 29th and the girls do not have their act down 100%. I try to help them but they don't want to hear my opinions. Then we had T's conference. Happy that she is a wonderful student and well liked by everybody but I am very unhappy with the fact that she has issues with another girl in class. It's a very long story but right now I see it two ways; A. Forget about this girl and find better friends or B. choose to be her friend and you'll be sorry. She shouldn't be having these problems in 3rd grade. What is middle school and high school going to bring?
WOD - deadlift 1/2 my body weight (95lbs) 30X's, row 1000m for time = 4:50 and bike a 20K (12.4 miles) for time = 35:40. I had the resistance up at 12 and was pedaling around 100 - 103 rpm consistantly. No idea why it took so long. Heart rate was around 145 the whole time which is great for fat burning. Not that long of a workout today but I was sweating really good.
Ass - Really sore today. It could be from Saturday night when I had Todd really massage it hard. Very achy all day. Even during my stretches.
Food - Sprout bread and yogurt for breakfast, handful of mixed nuts for snack, 6 inch ham/cheese grinder on wheat from Subway, diet soda, cup of tea and Pagliacci's for supper which consisted of chicken parmigana and pasta. I did share with the kids but I did eat a lot of it too. Oh my word it was so damn good. I haven't had pasta in ages.
What will tomorrow bring? Just more craziness I'm sure.

Starting From Scratch
Nothing gained and nothing lost. That is what has happened in the past 6 weeks of my life. I started my whole "eating healthy" and training on January 3rd at 200lbs. By February 3rd I was 194lbs and feeling really good. That is where all hell broke loose. The entire month of February and most of March I have been a yo-yo with my eating. Yesterday I started all over again and today I weighed myself and I'm 195lbs. So here we go folks. I'm back to where I started. The funny thing about all this, I'm going through my sugar withdrawls again. Since yesterday was a sugar free day I had a headache all day. Today I woke up with a headache and I just had to pop some Advil. I'm literally starting from scratch but weighing 5lbs less. Now I just need to stay on track.
WOD - was done at 5:45 a.m. so I can get it out of the way. 3-3-3-3-3 reps of shoulder presses using the 25lb dumbells followed by this crazy swim workout; 1 X 250 yards, 5 X 50 yards 3X's = 1500yards = a little more then .75 miles. My chest was very cranky when I was done. It could have been the burpees from yesterday but I really was feeling it in the pool this morning. Plus I could not get my breathing down so I was coming up for air more often then I would.
Ass feels really good this morning. I'm thinking the lunges from Wednesday really irritated my butt yesterday, however it's only 9:17 a.m. and I have the entire day to sit and make it feel worse. Yahoo!
I had some greek yogurt with this meuslix stuff for breakfast. Meuslix looks like rabbit terds but it was delicious. I have some strawberries sitting here looking at me waiting to be eaten in an hour or so. I also brought in a protein shake and a salad for later today. I'm trying!
Want to apologize for the crazy outburst last night about Roxy. I do love my children! Maybe I just shouldn't post after an episode like that. I get very hot headed and say mean things. I'm really not a mean Mom but what is being said in my head is totally different then what I actually do say. The thoughts in my head are R-rated and what I do say is G-rated. Well, sometimes!
Driving up to VT after work so I will not be able to post until Sunday night. Have a good weekend and I will keep myself on track this weekend. I just need to stay clear of the sugar. I can't promise about the alcohol because I may need it with my in-laws.

No Patience!
I kiss ass, try to talk and explain and my 3 year old is still annoying. I helped her brush her teeth and she gave me attitude. Instead of blowing up I was very calm and left her alone. Then I helped her get a cup of water before bed and she starts whining about not wanting me to help. Well, if I don't help there's water everywhere and I'm on all fours picking up her damn mess. So deal with her whining or get down on all fours and clean. Screw the cleaning. I proceed to help her with the water and then I gave her a choice after she continues to act like a brat. Drink the water I gave you or go to bed without water? What does she do? She throws the cup of water in the sink. Damn that little B!@#$. I picked her ass up and literally threw her into bed. Screw her and her damn cup of water. Tonight is a night where I can't stand her and I wasn't even with her all day. I just don't have the patience to put up with her shit like that.
On the brighter side of things, it was a work day today so needless to say I was not with my children but alone at a desk. The only problem with sitting all day? My ASS! Yup, my pariformis syndrome was so bad today that it literally was beyond painful at work. I could not get comfortable and when I would get up it would hurt so bad. I'm going to assume it was the lunges that I did yesterday that really bothered it. I might need to call and get a massage. Maybe somebody can rub the damn nerve out and make my ass feel better. Not a good ass day!
WOD - 25 squats (supposed to be lunges but opted not to do them today), 10 burpees, 25 sit ups 3X for time = 8:15. Then a 5K run for time. Well, I tried to time it but the run was really slow today. I ran with a co-worker that has shin problems so I ran slow with him. I just enjoyed being outside in 60 degree weather today. It was beautiful. About a mile or so into the run I see an old friend from high school drive by so of course we talked. By that time my co-worker caught up and we continued running. I felt really good and strong.
Food - Back on the wagon today and did great. Protein shake with 1/2 banana and 1/2 c blueberries, greek yogurt, salad with turkey, cheese and 1 egg, strawberries and turkey sausage link, quinoa and broccoli for supper. I feel good! No sugar bindging today! Thank goodness!
Hitting VT this weekend for our last ski of the season. House is crazy getting things packed up and ready to go. I will be in a small house with my in-laws and that would be father-in-law, brother-in-law, nephews etc. I might be drunk all weekend.

Welcome!
I see that I have two new followers and a bunch of other nosey friends that want to see how entertaining my life really is. I welcome you all to my blog!
In a nutshell I am a 37 year old women soon to be 38 years old, with three young children, part-time stay at home mom, part time employee at ESPN, spin instructor, wife, I'm hormonal, I'm a sugar addict, I am trying to lose weight, I am training for two half ironman races this summer and I'm trying to live my life the way I want to with all of the above interfering. I have a pinched nerve in my ass that bothers me, I'm semi-stressed with life in general because I take on too much but most of all I love everything that I do. Therefore as my husband would say "You bring this all upon yourself!" and he's right. Why sit home on my "pinched nerve" ass and do nothing with my life. That is way too boring.
Today was an extremelly interesting day. It is my father's 65th birthday and we lost him back in August. Now mind you, I do not dwell on his passing and instead think how happy he is living in his painfree world. I would not be selfish and want him to live among us anymore being miserable and uncomfortable. It's truly not fair. He is in a much better place.
My relationship with my father was different. There was no lovey dovey going on or any schmoopy chats growing up. He was hard core and the apple does not fall far from the tree. I'm pretty hard core myself. My parents divorced when I was 5 years old so that just makes things that more interesting growing up.
Anyways, after my workout at the gym (:20 work with :10 rest 8X's each of squats, pushups, lunges, situps followed by 450 yard swim for time = 8:28) I headed over to the bike shop in Canton to drop off my road bike for a tuneup. With the shitty rain falling down I really wanted to go home instead but I had my bike in the back of the car and I was on a mission. Dropped off bike and Roxy proceeds to be obnoxious in the store and starts crying and making a scene. Now I'm embarrassed and really pissed off. Back in the car to head to the center of Burlington to see Dad at the Burlington Cemetery. I'm yelling at Roxy in the car and tears start streaming down my face. I'm totally pissed off at her and sad because of what today is. We go to the center of town and I hit the florist to buy a mylar balloon to put at his grave. $5 fucking dollars for one damn balloon. That is robbery! I could hit the dollar store and buy 5 god damn balloons. Are you kidding me??? I proceeded to give her the $5 and went on my merry way without arguing. I head up to the cemetery in the pouring rain and I see another balloon that was left there today that was beaten down by the rain along with a cup of coffee. My dad loved his coffee. I just assumed my sister was there. I tie up the balloon and instantly the rain beats it down. Damn rainy day! I say a few words, start to cry and head back into the car. Roxy instantly asks why am I crying with my eyes. It was kind of funny when she said it that way. I tell her that I'm sad that Grandpa Eddie is gone and I cannot see him anymore. Out comes the million and one questions about why I'm sad, why was he sick, why is he in heaven, why do I miss him, how come he was sick and why is he not home. Now I'm answering all these questions and a few seconds later the back seat gets real quiet. I turn around and she just starts balling her eyes out. "I miss my daddy!". I felt so bad for her but chuckled a bit too. I told her daddy was at work and will be home for supper. Let's just say that she was very sad all afternoon until nap time when she finally slept it off.
At this point I'm just an emotional mess! I had a good morning, cried a bit, I'm okay again, cried some more and okay Stacia pull your shit together and knock it off. And here I am!
After nap, cleaning Trinity's bedroom and changing bed sheets, folding laundry, packing lunches for school tomorrow, getting everybody off the bus, feeding the rabbits, homework, snack time, play time and work time on the computer, the whole family is in the car heading to the gym for WOD #2
WOD #2 was class tonight. I had no goal in mind but we climbed a hill for an hour. It was fun and the class flew by. I like those kind of classes.
Now it is bedtime. Trinity is still doing some homework and getting frustrated, just like her mother would be, and the cats are climbing all over me begging to be fed. I guess there will be no TV time tonight because it is already 8:30 p.m. and I'm ready to hit the sack. Work tomorrow and sitting for 10 hours. Boy my ass will love that....NOT!

Pure Insanity
Why in the world do I even cheat and eat sugar? I do not get high from it and it does not get me all fired up. It makes me wicked cranky and sick feeling. What is the damn point! You would think that I have learned my lesson and to stear clear from the crap. It also give me nasty gas and my kids just about wear gas masks. My poor family!
Today's WOD (workout of the day) was class. I tortured my class participants last week with a really hard workout that was on my training plan but I thought this week I would steer clear of the "white sheet" and have a traditional class. On the bike for 3 - 4 miles climbing followed by weights 3X's. In a 90 minute class you can do an awful lot. Still had a good workout but I was by no means exhausted after class.
Food - Started off great with 2 scrambled eggs with 2% cheese, sprout bread and a cup of OJ, yogurt for snack after gym, turkey/cheese roll ups with carrots/hummus, 2 good handfuls of chex mix for lunch and after lunch is where I fall apart. I think I just need to lock up all cabinets and the refrigerator so I cannot snack. I made the kids these blonde brownies that are 100% brown sugar, 1 stick of butter and 2 cups of flower. I had about 4 of these MF'ers and I had lost my appetite for the rest of the day and into the evening. I was cooking super and I even felt sick. I do it to myself. Supper consisted of turkey sausage, broccoli, guinoa with peppers and salad. I barely had one link of sausage and a 1/4c of quinoa. I totally screwed it up with the crap I had before hand.
Kids - Roxy is AWESOME when we are home alone. We go to the gym, run some errands, play some games, have a fun lunch, hang out and watch TV and then it's nap time. Getting her to bed is one thing but once we are up there we read and she usually falls asleep. It's the getting up that totally sucks big time. By that point Lincoln is coming home and all hell breaks loose when Trinity gets home shortly after. Roxy is fresh, ignores me, fights back and completely disobedient. My "fun" daughter turns into "evil witch" right after nap. Then the rest of the day and into the evening she's hyper and again does not listen. Bed time is another story so I'm starting to think that maybe she should not nap. Oh lord help me. I need her to sleep because I will go insane if she doesn't. However, it's NEVER about ME! Dammit I wish it was for once! I'm just praying this is a "phase" she is going through. That's funny, "phase"! Her whole damn life so far is a "phase that she is going through". When the hell is it going to stop???????
Time to put on the boob tube for about 30 minutes to wind down. Tomorrow is another day. That is what I keep telling myself.

By that point Lincoln is coming home and all hell breaks loose when Trinity gets home shortly after. Roxy is fresh, ignores me, fights back and completely disobedient. My "fun" daughter turns into "evil witch" right after nap. Then the rest of the day and into the evening she's hyper and again does not listen. Bed time is another story so I'm starting to think that maybe she should not nap. Oh lord help me. I need her to sleep because I will go insane if she doesn't. However, it's NEVER about ME! Dammit I wish it was for once! I'm just praying this is a "phase" she is going through. That's funny, "phase"! Her whole damn life so far is a "phase that she is going through". When the hell is it going to stop???????
Time to put on the boob tube for about 30 minutes to wind down. Tomorrow is another day. That is what I keep telling myself.

Cheese with that WINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot stand whining! It drives me absolutely batty. Kids who whine should be thrown in their rooms until they are 6 years old and hopefully grow out of it. But then again, at the age of 6 they argue with their parents which makes me even more pissed off. I'm patiently (almost patiently) waiting for the day that my children are perfect. I swear it's going to happen.
You know what the real sad thing about this is? I'm actually eating a brown sugar pop tart while I'm typing my blog. How awful is that! My kids drive me to eat. I don't know what is worse; being driven to drink, smoke, pop pills or eat. I think popping pills would be fun. I would be super happy all the time, drinking would make me cranky and too lazy, can't stand the smell of smoke and eating is just the easiest to do. No liver damage, severe side effects, lung cancer or lost brain cells. Just a very large ass!
Don't worry Grigs! I am really happy!!!!!!
Too lazy to blog yesterday. So this is the scoop from yesterday and today:
Sunday - WOD - NADA! I took the day off. Why you ask? Well, maybe it's because I had church in the morning, ran to a b-day party immediately after, hit the grocery store after that and lastly Hallmark store before getting home at 4:30 p.m. Left the house at 9:30 a.m. and got home at 4:30 p.m. I'm not going to work out at this point.
Plus with hitting the sack at midnight on Saturday (don't worry I only had two drinks but I did enjoy my burger and desserts) and the time change, I was super tired.
Monday - WOD was done at 5:45 a.m. because I had a hot morning date with Grigs, the grocery store again and Chuckie Cheese. 21 sit ups, 200m sprint, 18 sit ups 200m sprint, 15 sit ups 200m sprint, 12 situps 200m sprint, 9 situps 200m sprint, 6 situps 200m sprint, 3 situps 200m sprint for time = 10:34. After that "warmup" I did deadlifts 1/2 my body weight 30X followed by 1000m row for time = 4:50. Not too long or hard of a workout but I was sweating. Could be all the junk I had this weekend.
Food - Let's just say it's period week and I'm literally a sugar whore. I want it and I want it NOW! I should go and get hypnotized! "Stacia you hate sugar! Sugar is not your friend! You love fruit and vegetables and want to eat them all day long!". Just let the Niagra flow and I should be back to normal in a few days. Oh god I do hope so.
Chicken is baking and looking forward to a nice meal.

Love Saturday's
I'm blogging early because I won't remember tonight after I've had a few cocktails. Giddy up!
Slept in until 7:30 a.m. and did not feel so hot. I could be coming down with a simple cold. My head felt foggy and I was really tired. But as soon as I got to my class I was in good shape.
WOD - 2 hour bike ride today from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. The class format was 6 X 5K's at 60RPM with 3 min rest in-between each one. You may think that is very easy but it's not. The first three were okay but the 2nd three were beyond difficult. My legs were getting cranky and my mind wanted it over NOW! So plugged in 18.6 miles of straight heavy climbing with an average of 3+ miles of warm up, rest and cool down.
The best part about the ride? Trinity came into class and rode for an hour. I was so proud of her and she did great. No complaining and plugged right along and rode about 12+ miles. I am so proud of her. When we left she was so excited that she felt really good. I told her it's her endorphines running around wild. When we got home and had lunch her and Lincoln rode 3 miles with Daddy while he ran. She's going to sleep really really really good tonight.
Food - Shake with banana, yogurt, turkey/cheese on sprout bread, 3 girl scout cookies and it's 3:40 p.m. I think it's time for another snack don't you??????
High school friends are coming over in 20 minutes and we'll be eating and drinking so tonight is a wash. Rode two hard hours just to eat burgers, chips and cookies tonight. I'm super excited!
Tomorrow is another day - I'm getting too used to saying that!

No News Is Good News
Yup, there is nothing wrong with my butt. The MRI shows no tears, no scar tissue or no trauma. No masses, tumors or anything indifferent. So needless to say I have a nerve that is being pinched by my super tight ass muscles and causing discomfort. What to do? Keep stretching, ice if needed and in 30 days my pain is still there I will get a very large cordisone shot. How exciting! Can't wait to have a large needle poked in my ass.
WOD - 4 X 800M run at 80% (thank god not 100%) followed by 100 pushups for time = 5:35. 33 seconds slower then the last time I did the pushups in February but I did 100 on Tuesday and swam 1200 yards yesterday so my chest is tired. When I was done I was shaking like a leaf.
Food - Started off good but of course cheated here and there today. Ate way too much peanut butter so I think I need to cut that shit out. Tonight will be pizza and maybe I'll beg Todd for a girl scout cookie. My mind is saying "hey, your riding 2 hours tomorrow so you deserve it!" when I really should behave. We'll see what happens.
heading out of work. Chat tomorrow!

Jammin'
I'm typing as I'm listening to Lady Gaga "I Was Born This Way!" and Trinity is singing in my ear. She's really got a great voice.....bring home so money to mamma girl!
Work day today so the normal morning routine of getting everybody fed, dressed and onto the bus. Oh yeah, mommy needs to get dressed and pack a lunch too. Damn work! I have a really hard time trying to "dress up" for work. I enjoy my sweatpants and sneakers.
The best part of today?????? My BFF Grigs worked with me today. She usually works Mon - Wed but she had to switch a day this week and work Mon, Wed and Thur. It was great having her at work since we don't see much of each other. We do talk alot via e-mail or phone but in person is awesome. I can't believe I even got work done today. It was a great day Grigs.....Thank you!
WOD - 3 X 400 yard swim at 100% effort, 5 minutes rest in between each set. First set was 7:22, 2nd set was 7:19 and 3rd set was 7:21. I wouldn't say it was 100% but I tried like hell. I can get from point A to point B but not really that fast. It was really nice giving the legs a rest. They really needed it. Now my poor arms will be sore.
Food - Since I'm not home I'm able to stick to my eating plan. Normal shake, yogurt, salad with chicken, handful of pretzels, diet soda, leftovers for supper (turkey meatloaf/chicken pot pie). Can't forget my other lover; peanut butter. I could bathe in peanut butter I love it so much!
Very hard sitting at work today, due to my butt issue. I just don't like sitting too often unless my ass is in bed and I'm snoring. My 3rd lover; bed....I love it so much! Now getting the rest of the family to bed is a different story.

Strong and Mighty!
I am woman hear me ROAR! I felt very strong and indestructable today. What a good day!
I feel bad about how I write. Some of you may think that I am a miserable woman with nothing fun in my life and that is not how things are for me. I am very happy, I love my children and I wouldn't change my life for anything in the world. Yes, I have my crazy PMS days and I can't stand my children, I eat everything in sight and I'm tired and cranky. But that is only two weeks out of a four week month......ha ha ha!
WOD 10K run for time = 52:15 followed by 150 wall ball squats with 8lb medicine ball for time = somewhere around 5 minutes. Got stuck talking again. First of all the 10K was very strong and I was running at 7.0 for the first 4 miles, 7.3 for the next mile, 7.5 for the last mile and 8.0 for that last .2 miles. I had my ears plugged with good music because doing this long run on the treadmill is torture but I felt wonderful. The elephant that I usually feel like felt more like a zebra; still big but fast! The 150 wall ball squats got my heart rate up big time. After all the squats yesterday along with the biking and the 10K run my legs felt like jello. Headed back to the gym to teach class tonight and climbed straight up a long hill plugging in around 12.7 miles. Heart rate was in fat burning zone but just working on strengthening the legs. My poor legs. I think I'm going to swim tomorrow.
Food - Started off good with a shake and yogurt then I had a small birthday party at my house for my neighbor and we ordered pizza and had cake. I was in heaven with the pizza and ate 4 slices along with a large piece of cake but damn my stomach was feeling it all day. I was burping up the pizza 5 hours later in class. For supper I just had a small bowl of oatmeal with raisins because my stomach was still feeling "gassy". I'll be starving tomorrow morning.
It was a fun day and I didn't get much done around the house because I had company and then the kids came home. These days do fly by really really really fast.

You Know When You Put Yourself Last..........
......when you haven't showered in two days, haven't shaved in 10 days and noticed that your underwear was inside out all day long today. I just think that is great!
WOD - 25 squats, 25 pushups, 25 situps, bike 1 mile and rest 1 min plugging in 5 miles and back to the 25/25/25, bike 1 mile and rest 1 min for 5 miles, 25/25/25, bike 1 mile and rest 1 min for 5 miles and lastly 25/25/25. A total of 100 squats, 100 pushups and 100 sit ups and 15 - 18 miles on the bike. Lets just say I was a sweat hog and nothing on me was dry. It was a hard but good workout! Kudos to fellow classmates that hung with me this morning. You are awesome!
Food - 2 scrambled eggs with 2% cheese, cantalope and 2 pieces of sprout bread with butter for breakfast, yogurt, oatmeal with dried apricots/raisins for lunch, banana and chicken pot pie and strawberries for supper. Now mind you, I did finish off the remaining GS cookies since the other boxes have been hid by my husband. Thank you honey!
Kids did a lot of playing outside after school which was wonderful. It was a gorgeous day to play some tag! Did get a chance to clean one room in my house (takes forever to do these days), prepare the chicken pot pie and off to MRI.
MRI was very very very very entertaining. I did panic when they first put me in. I started sweating and I just took several deep breathes to calm myself down. It's kind of like the beginning of my swim in a triathlon. The anxiety and panic attack. They did give me headphones so I could jam too Nickelback. I was greatful for that. The funny thing is I did fall asleep until the damn nurse woke me up to say "You have only 3 minutes left!". I was in there for 30 minutes. That is a very long time in some tiny ass tube thing. I have an appointment on Friday with the DR to get my results. I hope it's good news!

It Was a Nothing Fancy Monday!
It really was. Nothing super cool to report. Nothing entertaining to tell you. Nothing super devastating that it would make a great news flash. Nothing special at all today. However, I did manage to eat an entire sleeve of thin mints with several samoas. Does that count as a boring day? No, that just means I have NO WILL POWER at all and I need to get these damn boxes out of the house. I actually asked my husband to hide the boxes on me. How sad is that!!!!!!!
WOD - 400m run (8.2, 8.7, 9.0) 20lb KB swings 21 reps and 12 pull ups 3X's for time = No idea. Talked too much and had all good intentions of timing myself but being the social butterfly that I am stopped to chat. Following that was a 20K bike TT for time = No idea. Again, got chatting with a member while on the bike and pushed hard but not as hard as I could have. I was sweating really bad and the heart rate was high so does that count?
Food - Whatever! Shake for breakfast, almonds for snack, salad with grilled chicken for lunch, a million GS cookies, turkey meatloaf, green beans and sweet potato for supper and finally another handful of cookies. I guess you can say that my period is coming soon and I'm on a sugar rampage.
Butt - Nothing new to report. Just got it massaged today by the Doc and tomorrow night is my MRI. There could be 3 outcomes to tomorrow night. 1. Nerve is stuck in muscle....2. Muscle is torn and scar tissue is causing discomfort....or 3. Absolutely nothing and only time can heal it. This would be the best yet worse case scenario. It would be bad for me mentally because that would just piss me off.
Kids - The typical noisy home with everybody over-talking everyone else and arguments develop because somebody said something wrong. You know how it is. 3 year old thinks she's the Queen and everybody needs to listen to her, 8 year old is so much older and more mature that she apparently thinks she knows everything so everybody should listen to her and 5 year old that just loves to cause chaos in the house with noises, running around, flipping on furniture and just being a typical rough boy. There is only beautiful peace in the home when everybody is sleeping. Like right now, my house is quiet and it's beautiful.

Girl Scout Cookie Time
Oh boy! Here we go! Samoa's are going down the hatch. The sugar monster in my belly is raging and coming out full throttle. Down dog, down!
So I need to apologize for my extremelly angry post last night. I feel much better today and I realized that maybe I pissed some people off with what I had said. I'm sorry if I have offended you at all! If your skinny, I still don't like you...........just kidding!!!!! I love all my friends!
After some praying in church this morning I banged out my WOD - 5K row (5000m) followed by 12 X 100 yard swim each 400 yards going faster. Well I only got 800 yards in and skipped the last 400 yards. I needed to get out and get groceries before heading home. I felt very strong in the pool so my swim was really good. I just wish I could have finished the entire workout but tomorrow is another day.
Food - Well, my ugly day yesterday somewhat carried over into today. Needed to bake a cake 1st thing this morning. So here I am baking a cake at 7:30 a.m. from scratch licking the spoon and eating the batter. Then I whipped up the cream cheese frosting and again I'm tonguing the spoon and eating some frosting. But I did have some sprout bread with cream cheese for my "real" breakfast. A great way to start the day. Carried out the rest of the day pretty good until the girl scout cookies came in. Hello Samoa! Thin mints your next.
Butt - It has been feeling really good this weekend. I haven't really felt it as much but then again I'm barely sitting. During the ride on Saturday I felt it on the bike from going out of the saddle and back down. That might be hard to deal with in class.
All in all a great weekend. The kids were great and we got a lot done.

Very Frustrated!
I'm going to bitch, complain and vent to you right now. I know what your thinking and I know there is a lot of positive sides but right now I'm just being a bitch and letting it all out.
I weighed myself today. Damn f-in weight! I'm at 195lbs. How in the world is that????? What the !@#$
I get it, maybe I gained muscle. I'm so much muscle already that what the hell is going on. I would like to see my numbers on the damn scale fall. It did not happen in 30 days and I'm beyond pissed. This is how my morning started off. I even brought a bagel for breakfast because I was anticipating a very long bike ride today and some good weight loss. Ate my bagel and only rode for 50 minutes tops. Now I'm really f-in pissed. A. I did not lose any weight but gained and B. I did not get that long bike ride in that I had hoped for. I'm not mad at anybody just mad that my morning did not workout as planned.
So now I feel like a piece of crap. Here I am feeling really frustrated with very low self esteem and there are all these skinny shits riding all morning, really happy, beautiful and on top of the world. MFers. Again, I am not mad at anybody just frustrated. Nobody should feel that I'm pointing fingers. It's just how this 37 year old mother of three that weighs 195lbs feels. Skinny people just piss me off.
Running around all afternoon with b-day parties, drop off, pick ups and now I did not get my workout in. So I need to do something at home. Great! Knock me down even more when I'm already low. So here it is:
WOD - Biked 11 plus miles (nothing fancy or fast) then ran 400m, 15 burpees 4X's for time = 18:40. The sprints I had to do in my neighborhood and I looked really silly doing the burpees on the sidewalk. I got a lot of crazy looks. Tried to get my son to ride his bike while I chased him to make me go faster but he was too pooped and opted not to participate. I don't blame him. Sprinting outside is a completely different world then on the treadmill. It was HARD! I actually enjoyed the burpees instead.
Food - Did not follow any healthy eating plans today. Just ate and enjoyed the day. I will get back to my routine tomorrow because tomorrow is another day.
The positive side of things, had a great time with my gym family this morning raising money for an amazing cause, and I was able to spend time with good friends tonight at a hockey game in Springfield MA. It was a nice family night out and we had a great time. I love my family and my friends. You guys are just AWESOME!
You know what I really need to do? Weight myself the morning after my period where I feel the thinest. I guess that is when I will start weighting myself from now on. Damn body and damn scale.....YOU SUCK!
I'm done bitching.....good night!
I weighed myself today. Damn f-in weight! I'm at 195lbs. How in the world is that????? What the !@#$
I get it, maybe I gained muscle. I'm so much muscle already that what the hell is going on. I would like to see my numbers on the damn scale fall. It did not happen in 30 days and I'm beyond pissed. This is how my morning started off. I even brought a bagel for breakfast because I was anticipating a very long bike ride today and some good weight loss. Ate my bagel and only rode for 50 minutes tops. Now I'm really f-in pissed. A. I did not lose any weight but gained and B. I did not get that long bike ride in that I had hoped for. I'm not mad at anybody just mad that my morning did not workout as planned.

Uh Oh!
I opened up a bag of kettle corn and I'm totally screwed. This stuff is so damn good. Crap! Why did the kids want me to buy it. I need to get the three bags that I bought out of this house NOW!
TGIF!
I should have blogged last night. The meltdown from Roxy was absolutely hysterical. She was beyond tired and boy oh boy was she a mess. She finally passed out because the whining and crying I think exhausted her. Plus, I had a large grinder for supper. Yup! I ate the whole damn thing and I barely spoke while eating. I was in heaven! After supper my stomach was a mess and I was "stinking" the poor kids out of the house. It was really funny!
But today is Friday and what was my WOD? Nothing! I could not hit the gym in the morning because hubby was traveling, nor at lunch due to my dr. apt so I opted to skip today. I had a tough week of workouts and I will be riding a bike for 2 plus hours tomorrow so I deserve the day off damn it!
Food - Shake, yogurt, salad, diet soda, cantalope, peanut butter, a peanut butter cookie (couldn't resist...it was only one!) and for supper I will have some turkey sausage that is leftover in the fridge with some eggs maybe.
Butt - My MRI is scheduled for Tuesday evening. I have actually been feeling pretty good this week. It does hurt when I get up after sitting for a while but I make sure I don't sit long. I'm thinking that maybe it's correcting itself but who the hell knows.
Kids - With being a single Mom last night and this morning I have to honestly say the kids did great getting out of the house today. We were all packed in the car getting Lincoln on the bus for 7:45 a.m., Roxy to daycare around 8 a.m. and Trinity to her bus stop for 8:20 a.m. We were even early getting her back so we went to the house to bring in the garbage cans and feed the rabbits. It was a great morning! I commend my children, which I normally don't do, but this was an exceptionally well behaved morning. Well, minus a few tears because of TV. Damn boob tube!

Whirlwind!
That's what today seemed like and it's only 4:30 p.m. I need to post quickly now because I'm solo tonight due to hubby traveling. The last thing I am going to want to do is blog when I have to get Roxy from daycare, supper, kids off to bed, dishes done, garbage out, lunches packed for tomorrow and house tidied up. Bed will feel so good!
WOD - 5 deadlifts (70% max weight = 70 lbs), 10 burpees, 15 squats AMRAP in 15 minutes = 7 rounds. Followed by 4 X 5K bike each 5K increasing effort and resistance. Lets just say when I was done I was DONE! My legs were very tired today from all the riding yesterday. In two days I did 120 pushups, 155 squats, 47.6 miles on the bike. I deserve a big rest day tomorrow which I need to do because I can't hit the gym in the morning nor at lunch.
Food - Shake with almond milk, 1/2 banana and blueberries, yogurt, 1/4 banana, salad with ham/cheese, orange, about 10 pretzel rods (now this is where my blood sugar levels feel low and I'm hungry) and 4 tiny tootsie rolls. I just want to sit down to a large burger and fries. Oh how wonderful would that be!
Supposed to weigh in tomorrow but I'm not able to hit the gym first thing in the morning so I'll try to weigh in on Saturday morning. I'm very curious if I lost anything. I don't feel like I have because I have been feeling really lethargic and gross. Not sure what is going on! Maybe not eating enough while plugging in some hard workouts but I don't think that is it. Maybe I am plateuing and next month things will change. I hate trying to figure out my damn body. It is what it is!
Butt - sitting on a ball at work today. You know, one of those big exercise balls. We have one in the office for god knows what reason. Trying to get up every so often so I'm not in pain. Much better today because of the ball I think. Everybody finds it entertaining.

Just Keep On Moving!
My time is so structured it is crazy. I need to squeeze in workouts, teaching, dr appointments, vet appointments, bus pick up and everything else that I'm so thankful I'm very schedule orientated. This is my day today and it is only 1:25 p.m.
8:15 a.m. - Leave to get T on bus.
8:30 a.m. - Arrive at gym for workout #1
8:45 a.m. - WOD 200 yard swim, 10 squats, 10 pushups 5X's for time = 23:28
9:15 a.m. - Off to teach spin class workout #2 30K ride (18.6 miles ) for time = 48:25
10:30 a.m. - Class is over
11:15 a.m. - At DR's for appointment
12:15 - Home for lunch
Now - Off to get Roxy to bed.
2:45 p.m. - Need to get Lincoln at bus stop.
3:30 p.m. - Trinity comes home and we're all off to bring kittens to vet.
4:00 p.m. - Vet apt.
5:15 p.m. - Need to drop kids and kittens off at home.
5:30 p.m. - Arrive at YMCA
5:45 p.m. - Workout #3 teach spin class.......who the hell knows what I'll do in class tonight.
6:45 p.m. - Class is over
7:15 p.m. - Home to get everybody into bed.
8:00 p.m. - Me time...........that means bed for myself.
WOW, what a crazy day I have and I'm only 1/2 way done.
Swim was good. The pushups were very tough especially after yesterday's class but I did feel very strong and I never had to stop. What I don't like is when some small lady jumps into the lane next to me and smokes my ass. I'm working so hard and this person is effortlessly swimming and passing me a million times over. That drives me nuts. These damn natural people are for the birds. My legs were cranky on the bike but I was able to plug in the 30K that I need to do this week.
Butt - Not bad today but was a bit sore after the bike. DR said to keep stretching and icing it when I can and to limit my sitting. No problem with the sitting.
Time to get some laundry and computer work done and before you know it R will be up and L will be getting home from school. I think I need a cup of tea.

Totally Pooped!
Energizer bunny times 10. Going full throttle but boy oh boy I can't wait to get into bed. After my belly digests supper I'm done.
WOD - Taught class today so incorporated my workout into class. Tabata :20 work/:10 rest 32X's; 8 of knee pushups, squats, situps and burpees. A 16 minute workout that was really tough. Followed by the rest of yesterdays bike which I pedaled hard for 5 miles then again for 4 miles. After everything we did we did more abs and some stretching. It was a good workout for sure.
Food - Did good again today. Shake, yogurt, pb&J sandwich on 12 grain bread (this is a change for me), peanuts, meatballs with veggies for supper. I can't believe I'm not more hungry because when I look back at this I did not eat much.
Butt - Doing good today because I'm not sitting much at all. Was sore getting off the bike but I was able to work through it. Nothing to keep me from doing what I love to do. DR. apt tomorrow for some more deep tissue massaging and all that other fun stuff.
Kids - Roxy had some sour moments today. She can go from so happy to mean in a split second. Having such a good time with her and then when I say no to something she completely falls apart. Talk about ruining your mood. Had my neighbors kids today after school so I packed my three and the neighbors two girls and hit the mall. I needed to get a b-day present for somebody. Quite interesting at the mall. The girls are such girls. When we passed the bra/underwear section of JCPenney they chuckled and made funny comments. It was so cute. Little do they know their going to be wearing that stuff soon enough.
Time to chill on couch and watch one of my several shows that are DVR'd.
