Yup it sure is! I showered, shaved and put on a face mask. See Mom I can relax. Granted I snuck this all in while making homemade spaghetti sauce and meatballs for dinner tonight, laundry, feeding bunnies, making lunch, putting a kid down for a nap, cleaning up around the house and making lunches for tomorrow. But I did it!
WOD - Well, since I was teaching class today I had to pull some random exercises off of my "list". So here it goes; 4 burpees, 8 pushups and 12 situps AMRAP (as many reps as possible) in 20 minutes. Oh my word! It was very hard. By the 4th round I had to do the pushups on my knees. I never drop down to my knees but I had to today. I think I did 11 rounds in 20 minutes. After that we did a 45 minute bike time trial. I had to get off the bike to help somebody so I think I did about 17 miles or so. My butt was really hurting me so I couldn't move too much on the bike without wincing in pain. Yuck! Yes, I did call the DR today and I'm waiting for a referral. I need to get my "pain in the ass" fixed.
Food - I think you guys know well enough what "fun" stuff that I'm eating so I thought that I will not continue to bore you with my food intake for the day. But when I do splurge you will be the first to know. So here it goes, I had some pretzels and a granola bar today. It was mindless eating which I needed to stop doing but being in the kitchen cooking led me to the cabinets.
Babysitter tonight so we can catch a movie. Looking forward to shutting the brain off but I have to wait until 7 p.m. to do it. Oh how will I survive staying out until 10 p.m. or later.

Mommy and Daughter Time
Yes, my mother called me at 7:30 a.m. this morning, "Hey hon! Want to go shopping with me at the mall today?". First of all I needed to hit the grocery store and get shit done but when I told her no originally I heard the disappointment in her voice. "I'll be spontaneous Mom! Come to the house for 10:45 a.m.". I need to at least get my workout in before some time at the dreaded mall.
WOD - Shame on me today! I combined workouts which I should not do but I feel like I'm falling behind because I do yoga every Friday instead of working off my plan. Plus I skip a day here and there.
Anyways it was 500m row and 25lb dumbell thrusters (shoulder press) 3X's. Then I plugged in tomorrows workout 5K for time = 25:52. That is really good for this slow and old lady. I was running at 7.0 for the first two miles and by mile 2 I sped it up to 7.2 and by mile 2.9 I sped up again to 8.0 mph. I felt really good especially rocking out really hard to NICKELBACK! I love angry and heavy music to get the blood pumping. Maybe I'm just secretly angry. Ha ha ha!
It is now Mom and daughter time with one grandchild in tow. This should be interesting. You need to understand a few things:
A. I hate shopping
B. My mother LOVES to shop. She is a shop-aholic.
C. If I have to be dragged to the mall I do not want to bring a 2 year old.
D. Mom looks at every rack, every store and buys everything.
E. I'm always on a mission, pressed for time and I don't give a shit about the sale in the next store.
Of course after the first 5 minutes in the car I get the whole lecture about my life through my mother's eyes, "honey, you do too much!", "honey, your always so tired!", "honey, why do you workout so much!", "honey, take some time for yourself!", "honey, what do you need to prove!", "honey, I know you have a lot on your plate but try not to stress out!", "honey, I know your not listening but I just need to tell you all this!" Your damn right Mom! I'm not listening but I do love you.
So after I realized she thinks my life is a mess we proceed to park and shop. I was so excited to actually get some shopping for other people done because it's been on my list of to do's and I'm actually getting it done. Our friends just had a baby so first off buy some baby clothes. When I come home to wrap it and tell my husband I'm one step ahead he tells me "they had a BOY not a girl!". Shit, I thought they had a girl......are you F!@#$% kidding me! Now I'm two steps behind because I have to go back to JCPenney to return the stuff and buy boy clothes. Damn!
Food - OJ, scrambled eggs with cheese, sprout bread for breakfast, apple for snack, southwest salad with grilled chicken at McD's, diet coke, 2 tsps of peanut butter, turkey kielbasa, sweet potatoe and veggies for supper. Not bad for a "honey, I'm worried about you!" day.

I Want My Bed!!!!
I'm so ready to put my head on my pillow and pass out. I love bed! I love chocolate too but I think I love bed more!
Had a great weekend with numerous things going on:
WOD on Saturday - Fran (21-15-9 reps of thrusters/60 lbs and pull ups) followed by running 1 minute on and one minute off at 10% incline. The hardest part of the workout was the thrusters. I was supposed to lift 95 lbs but there was no way in hell I was going to lift all that weight over my head. So I opted for 60 lbs which was plenty enough. I was nervous about the run. My knee was bothering me and I wasn't sure how it would feel on the treadmill. My speed was slow at 5 mph and I was going to try to run faster but I did not want to push it. My knee felt great. A little sore walking afterwards but the more I moved throughout the day the better it felt.
Food - Fell off the wagon and did not eat super good. Did splurge and have some coffee cake at my niece and nephews birthday party. I also had a few bites of an ice cream sandwich at their party. Later that day I devoured a small bag of skittles. I LOVE SKITTLES! Saturday night we had a gathering with friends but I did do good with dinner which was a very large salad. I'm going to turn into a head of lettuce at this point. But I was a bad girl and had some cake for dessert. Not a whole piece but the frosting. I LOVE FROSTING! Tomorrow is another day right?
Today - Up at 6:30 a.m. and out the door at 7 a.m. driving my daughter, a friend of mine and her daughter up to Catamount for the day. It was an awesome day. We hit the slopes by 9:30 a.m., stopped for lunch (salad again and grapes) at 12 p.m., back on the slopes at 12:30 p.m. and finally came in around 3 p.m. The conditions were very icy so my legs were working a little extra more. No WOD because it's a me day. Yippy! A ME DAY! Do I feel guilty not hitting the gym? Nope! I think I got enough of a workout carrying skis, cooler and bags like a damn camel. I am always packed like a camel. That is part of motherhood.
Food - My normal shake, some almonds, salad, grapes, nibbled on some chips, had a cracker, a captain and diet coke (thought it would be healthier than a beer after skiing), turkey chili for supper and two small brownies. Yup! My neighbor brought some over thanking us for doing some shoveling. She's obviously not reading my blog.

Not Doing Good!
I have this real bad pain in my ASS! How awful is that. The pain does not have a name (I know what you are thinking) because it's an actual pain that is driving me nuts and causing some major discomfort. I'm being told that I should go see a chiropractor. What makes me nervous is that my left knee is also bothering me really bad to the point that I'm actually limping today when I get up and walk. It has been sore for the past couple of days but this morning I had this weird feeling in my knee when I was walking to work and from that point on it has been really bad. I'm getting concerned that my left ass issue is connected to my knee. I'm not happy at all. I don't have time for this crap.
WOD - Yoga day today. Every Friday is yoga to help stretch out the super sore muscles that I have. And I am reminded every Friday that my body is a mess, I'm not flexible, I'm super tight and stretching sucks. The first few minutes of warming up was very uncomfortable but once we got flowing into our sun salutations (sp?) I loosened up. But seconds after class I was in agony again. Trying to get my shoe on was a chore.
My matto my who life - "I am built like a brick shit house! I never get hurt! This is impossible! I am an ox!" I guess oxen do get hurt (are they even called oxen?)
Food - I did not have time for eggs this morning so I had my shake again (I really do love them), a tablespoon of peanut butter, grapefruit, handful of peanuts, a proper salad today, yogurt and this yummy bean dip that somebody made at work. It is a healthy dip with beans, tomatos, peppers, onions etc but I guess the blue corn chips aren't. I only had about 7 chips total.
Kids - Again, don't know! Don't have them today and I don't care! Just kidding! I do care! No really, I do! Daddy is taking Trinity to a Father and Daughter dance tonight so my butt will be in bed right after the other two minions are in bed. I can't wait to just lay down and read. Maybe pop some advil and pray really hard that tomorrow morning I'm back to being indestructable again.

Work Day!
Therefore I am not happy to sit all day. BUT, with the two snow days and having everybody home with me I embraced the adult time.
WOD - 5K (5000m) row = 26:13 followed by 800 yard swim = 15:09. When I get off the rowing machine I felt like I had a pole up my ass. Rowing for 26 minutes really made me walk funny for a bit. Everybody was probably laughing at how I looked. I wobbled to the pool and enjoyed a nice swim. The hard part for me is I don't get warmed up until I'm at a 1/4 mile. So the first 9 laps I was feeling sore but the last 7 laps I felt really strong and warmed up. I was actually very impressed with my swim time.
Shower and back to work with goggle eyes.
Food - I had my shake again with blueberries and almond milk and an orange. Gluten free granola bar for snack before gym, leftover antipasta salad for lunch (not healthy at all with pounds of salami, pepperoni and provolone cheese), yogurt, handful of peanuts and turkey kielbasa, sweet potatoes and celery for supper. Teeth are brushed to prevent me from eating anymore tonight. And guess what? I'M HUNGRY!
Kids - What about them? Didn't see them much today so nothing to bitch about. Just the usual crazy house when I came home, baths and homework.
It's my bed time now.......good night!

Weigh In Day!
I finally got to weigh in today and I lost 5.5 - 6 lbs. Not shabby for a whole month. What I like about it is that it's a slow weight loss which I'll be able to keep off. I'm now down to 194 lbs. Next weigh in will be March 2nd.
Another snow day - oh yippy! Headed to the YMCA to teach the 9:30 a.m. spin class to two dedicated members. Bless their hearts.
WOD - On top of spin class my workout of the day was 1-1-1-1-1-1 back squats followed by 6 X 100yds of swimming. Easy enough workout but with the extra 50 minutes of cycling it was another hard day. I opted not to do the squats since I was on the bike for almost an hour and I'm going back again tonight to teach another hour. Screw the squats is what I say. The pool was nice and each 100yds was an average of 1:42 - 1:45. Could have gone faster but my upper body was pooped from yesterday's class.
Food - Treated myself to some cookies today. I did have a antipasto salad with oil/vinegar for lunch today but I topped it off with 4 chocolate chip cookies. I could not resist plus I thought I deserved a bonus for doing so well this month. When I get home from class around 7:15 p.m. I'll warm up some left chicken for dinner. Something to keep the belly happy! Breakfast was a yummy egg/tomato/cheese omelet with sprout bread and decaf tea.
After another afternoon of snowblowing I'm slowing getting rid of my "love this white stuff" attitude. That shit was super heavy to blow today. Maybe that is why my arms are so tired.

I'm Mourning!
The loss of my favorite ski jacket of 9 years. Yup! It's so sad! My zipper is beyond broken and with all this gorgeous snow I can't wear it. So my dilemma; repair the zipper or just suck it up and buy a new jacket! I skied last night with the kids and my coat was open the whole time. Thank goodness I have bib pants.
Today - After a great ski night and some salad for supper in the lodge (boring), I woke up this morning to yet another snow day! Yippy! Giddy Up! Awesome! NOT! Before the kids could speak I gave them a lecture about using listening ears today and not being disrespectful. Then I gave them a good morning hug and kiss!
The YMCA does not close so I had to gear up the family and head out to teach my 9:30 a.m. class.
WOD - 5-5-5-5-5 deadlifts at 100lbs followed by biking 2 minutes out of saddle and 1 minute rest in the saddle 12X's. This is very easy since I was teaching a spin class this morning. Did the deadlifts before class started and we did the biking right in the beginning of class. The class is 90 minutes so we did do some lifting, pushups, situps and more biking. You can do a lot in 90 minutes.
The workout of the day was very simple which is a nice change to yesterdays "I want to vomit" workout!
Food - I was a bad girl today. I really didn't eat. Shake for breakfast and nothing until lunch. For lunch I nibbled on a leftover grilled cheese sandwich from the kids, some peanut butter and brownies for snack. Nothing nutritious but really nothing at all. For supper we had a yummy meal; beef tips, sweet potatoes and green beans. I was so happy to have real food.
Kids - I had 5 today. After the gym I picked up my neighbors girls because they needed coverage. My foot wasn't in the door yet and I was getting the "I'm hungry", "Can we have lunch", "I'm thirsty", "What's for lunch?", "When are we eating?", "I'm hungry".........Oh my word. Shut the hell up everybody! Can I please take my coat off, pee and put my stuff away! Really! After the tornado at lunch and the mess that I had to clean up. everybody was off playing but the baby had to go to bed because she was not being very sweet. One kid in bed punished.....who is next? She just needed to nap.
Lunch is over, they are playing, I'm making brownies, I'm preparing the table for a cool craft, we do the craft, I'm cleaning up AGAIN, kids are watching TV, baby is awake SHIT, everybody is chilling out in front of the boob tube, I'm outside snow blowing, back in to feed them brownies, cleaning up because they forgot how to eat like humans PIGS, getting them all dressed to go sledding at neighbors house, outside sledding, kids are fighting, baby is whining, I'm thinking about getting drunk, my neighbor is laughing at me, shoveling her driveway to help her out, two kids are frozen, back home, undressing them and getting them juice, out to feed bunnies, other three come back, undress them, hanging clothes everywhere in my house to dry, neighbors leave, time to make supper, cooking, daddy home to give bathes, eat, clean up and now I'm on the computer. PHEW! Are you tired from all this? I am!
I'm just so excited to go to bed and it's only 7:30 p.m.
