......from 1/4 mile sprints to 1/2 mile sprints and it's no fun at all.
WOD - 6 X 1/2 mile sprints with 4 min rest in between. I ran my half miles at 7.1, 7.5, 7.7, 8.0, 8.0 and 8.1. The hard part was going the 1/2 mile. I have no problem going faster for the 1/4 mile but this was really tough. Plus I was pressed for time so my rest in between was about 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Total mileage with warm-up and cool down was 4.17.
Even though I survived the workout I felt like a fat piece of poop. Maybe because it was 5:45 a.m. and I had no food in my belly, but I actually felt lethargic and rolly polly! I need to get back to that "Feeling Great and Strong" because right now I don't. Maybe the alcohol and bad food intake from this past weekend is still clinging to my ribs.
Food - Shake, yogurt, salad, diet soda, peanut butter, 4 tootsie rolls, apple and pulled pork tonight for supper. The tootsie rolls are not necessary so I need to cut that shit out. I don't need to get into the habit of eating them.
Butt - Saw DR today. My extremelly bad day yesterday was because he did some really deep tissue work on Wednesday which made me super sore. Makes perfect sense. I was told to lie down while watching TV and when I am at work to get up every 15 - 20 minutes to work my butt. When I sit too long it gets BAD! I'm shelling out $20 each visit, 3X's a week so this guy better fix me and fix me NOW! I can't afford it.
Grigs - How in the world did you push through your hamstring and shoulder injury while training for your Lake Placid Ironman. I give you all the credit in the world.

Everything!!!!!!!!
My mind is a mess. I have so many things going on at the same time that something has to give, but what? I love everything that I do but there are not enough hours in the day or days in the week to get it all done. What I do need to focus on is the important things in life which is health and family.
WOD - Fran (21-15-9 60lb thrusters/pull ups) followed by 700 yard swim for time = 14:40. I felt like the biggest lead weight in the pool this afternoon. I also had to get water out of my goggles twice. It wasn't that good of a swim. Plus when I swim I think about things that I have to do and that is where I couldn't get out quick enough to get my shit done.
Food - Back to my regular healthy eating habits. Scrambled eggs cooked in coconut oil, grapefruit, peanut butter, salad with ham/cheese, yogurt, peanuts and not I'm eating a small laffy taffy. The laffy taffy is my noon time picker upper.
Butt - I'm very uncomfortable. As you all know sitting at work is bad and for some reason it has been getting even worse. I'm okay when I do sit, it's the getting up and walking that is awful. It hurts! But once I get moving I am okay. I have another appointment tomorrow during my lunch break. I need to find out if this could be something worse then a pulled muscle and scar tissue damage. Just cut my ass open, get the shit out that needs to come out and sew me back up.
I need to sign off and get back to work.

Where Do I Begin!
Boy oh boy! So much has happened since we last "spoke".
Up in VT for a very long weekend. Skied, ice skating and tubing along with tons of bad food and alcohol. Yup! I was a bad girl this weekend and I LOVED IT! I had so much fun. However, I did bring my "white sheet" along and did something to keep me somewhat healthy.
Saturday - WOD was done at 5:30 a.m. before we hit the road. 10 pushups, 10 burpees and 10 situps followed by a 20 minute run; 10 minutes out and 10 back; note distance. My total run was actually 19:44 (ran faster coming back) and distance was 2.2 miles. Just when I thought I ran really fast I guess I only ran about a 9 minute mile. Bummer!
Sunday - WOD was 100 pushups for time = 5:02. Off to the slopes.
Monday - WOD was 250 lunges (125 each leg) for time = 8:30. Off to go ice skating.
Tuesday - REST DAY! I sure do need it because I was hungover and beyond tired. Off to go tubing.
Wednesday (Today) - WOD was on the bike in class; 5 minutes race, 1 minute rest, 10 minutes race, 1 minute rest and 15 minutes race. Note distance covered = around 14 miles.
Weekend food intake - Let's just say my diet was off these past few days. I would start off really good with eggs or shake for breakfast, salad or rolled up cold cuts for lunch, yogurt, fruit and then the 3 o'clock happy hour mentality hit. Alcohol, dip, chips, brownies, cheese, pepperoni, crackers, left over pizza, salsa, ice cream and everything else that you can think of. I have to weigh in on March 2nd and I don't think my weight will have changed much from last weigh-in. It has been a naughty month.
Nerve issue could be something more indepth. I could have teared my pariphormus (sp?) muscle and the scar tissue is what is causing problems to the nerve. Because after 6 visits I am not feeling better but feeling worse. The DR today gave me his conclusion of what could really be happening so they need to break up the scar tissue. If that does not work then I may need the "shot". I can continue doing what I am doing but the DR did say to stay away from the heavy squats and lunges. Thank goodness I did not say anything about the 250 lunges. This is getting more and more interesting by the minute.
Detox tomorrow since my vacation is all over. Boo Hoo!

Temptations......
They KILL me. I cannot do it! I have no will-power at all so when there are numerous plates of goodies sitting 5 feet from me on the filing cabinets I stress out. I argue in my head about wanting something yummy and why can't I just have one small thing to cut the shit Stacia and don't touch. This is awful. My head is consumed with thoughts of cake and donuts. I'm a total addict. I'm addicted to sugar and it is calling my name and making me go insane. I cannot have this stuff near me. UGH!
Saw the DR at lunch and he worked on me real good. I might have some bruising! He told me that I must have done something to create this nerve problem. "Why don't you go home and think about what you did over the past few weeks and let me know how you injured yourself!" Well doc! I spin, I run, I squat a 1000 times a week, I do max weight back squats, I do deadlifts, I do lunges, I do wall balls, box jumps and burpees. Gee, maybe one of those exercises did it. What do you think doc? It was funny to see his jaw drop. My lower body is being worked out constantly that who the hell knows when I actually pinched the nerve in my ass.....really! Just fix me please!
Enough bitching. Have to go back to work since it is Friday and all hell is breaking loose. See ya!

Shame On Me!
I have not blogged since Tuesday night. I do apologize! I actually forgot. So many other things clouding my mind. I will try to recall what happened these past couple of days:
Wednesday - WOD which I did at 5:45 a.m. was a 100yard swim followed by 10 pushups 7X's for time = Can't remember but 17 minutes keeps popping up in my head. I think it was over 17 minutes or something like that. Later that night I taught spin class and incorporated the 1 minute standing, 1 minute rest up to 5 minutes and back down. Great workout. Let's just say I crashed hard that evening.
Thursday - WOD was during my lunch break and it was 400m run followed by 50 squats 6X's for time = 20:52. 300 SQUATS. I'm surprised my legs have not fallen off yet. I only ran about an 8 - 8:30 minute mile when doing the 400m but I could have gone faster. It was interesting trying to get back on the treadmill to run after the 50 squats.
Today - WOD done at 5:30 a.m. again was 150 wall ball squats with an 8lb medicine ball for time = 5:08 followed by 30 minute time trial on bike for distance = 10.32. My distance was less then the last time I did the 30 minute TT. I plugged in 12.77 last time but I think the 300 squats and 150 wall ball squats before the bike did me in this time around.
Food - doing good but I was a mess again on Wednesday. I'm back to "normal" and yesterday was good and today has just begun. Typical shake, salad, yogurt, fruit, peanut butter, nuts and tons of water.
Kids - Ready to sell Roxy on ebay on Wednesday but after a day at work and now today at work I love her again! ha ha ha!
Butt problem - Still going to chiropractor and I even have an apt today at noon. This morning it hurt really bad and I swear it's from sitting at my desk at work all day. I really want this pinched nerve thing gone. It is now starting to piss me off. I want to stretch really good after my workouts and it hurts so much that I don't stretch as good as I should. I'm probably making it worse.
Going to VT for a long weekend to ski. Bringing my white sheet to get some quick workouts in. I won't be able to do everything but I can do some things in the house. I won't be blogging until I get back on Wednesday so don't miss me too much!

Why? Oh Why?
Must I have a 3 year old daughter that does nothing but drive me insane? Why must I have a child that says "no" to everything, looks me in the eye and repeatedly does things that I ask her not too, ruins her siblings toys and does not listen for shit. Really? What have I done in my life to deserve this? Is this karma! Was I this bad when I was 3 and now I'm being tested with this child. I just don't get it. I'm surprised that I'm not a drunk or drug addict. My only downfall is sugar and I'm just flat out a sugar addict and these crazy days do not help with my addiction.
I just need to get "it"! When I get "it" then I will be cleansed of all badness and a new month begins. "It" will help me start from scratch. "It" will clear the mind and body for a new me. "It" is not my friend but I will hug "it" and squeeze "it" when "it" arrives.
WOD - Well, it was a class day so I did what I could without killing the members. Bike 1 mile standing, 1 minute rest in seat, 2 mile standing, 1 min rest, 3 mile standing, 1 min rest, 4 mile standing, 1 min rest and 5 mile standing and 2 min rest. Weights for about 20 minutes and then back on bike for another 5 miles of racing. Not too bad of a workout but enough to satisfy my need to sweat. The biking part is from a future workout that I decided to incorporate in class today. Tomorrow I'll get back to the plan.
Food - Shake, peanut butter (I have to have a spoonful every day), chicken cutlet and carrots for lunch, diet soda, fell apart with chocolate a few spoonfuls of ice cream and mindless eating, turkey sausage with peppers and green beans for supper.
Kids - I've vented enough. They are driving me absolutely insane but I will survive. I can survive anything!

Energizer Bunny....
.....but all of a sudden my batteries ran out and I'm really really pooped. Laying in the bed with the kids to read makes me beyond tired, but I have to write my blog before I pass out.
It all started when Trinity missed her bus this morning. Nothing like driving to school with an 8 year old in the front seat. Thank goodness school is only a 1/2 mile away. I just get really annoyed when I say "Lets get our shoes on! TV off! Get your coat, hat and gloves!" and nobody is moving. That really pisses me off. I swear that when I talk nobody listens.
Off to the gym:
WOD - 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 3 of thrusters (45lb bar) and burpees. I can't stand burpees. The workout was not long at all but of course I was at the gym longer then expected because I talk to everybody. It was still a tough workout!
Home before 11 a.m. molding clay with Roxy and getting chicken in some marinade. I had a 12:15 p.m. lunch date with my good pal Grigs and another friend Sarah from work. Grigs wanted to take Roxy out for her birthday but Roxy was really misbehaving before we left that I almost called off the lunch date. But I really wanted to see my friends so we went. We went to McDonald's so Roxy can play in the playscape while the adults talked. It was great chatting with my pals. I love my "dates" with Grigs. They are always so fun! It was extra fun having Sarah joining us today.
Home by 1:30 p.m. to get Roxy to bed and me doing my chores. Roxy did not sleep but I made sure her ass did not leave her bedroom. Finally by 3:30 p.m. I let her out. She was yelling and screaming and causing a fuss but I stuck to my "downtime" guns and wouldn't give in to her. Of course she comes out with a big smile on her face.
After our normal after school activities; snack, play, homework, baths, dinner prep I was out the door at 5:15 p.m. to hit the chiropractor for my apt. I had some EMS done to my butt, a little deep tissue massage, some spine alignment and I was in the car at 6:10 p.m. heading home for supper.
Alright everybody, get to bed because I want to go to bed. I'm getting cranky and super tired by 7:30 p.m.
Food - It's V-day today so I fell off the wagon because I have NO WILL POWER at all. When chocolate, cookies and candy are in the house I'm eating it. That is what I did today. I need all of it to disappear.....NOW! But I did have my shake, spoonful of peanut butter, salad with chicken, diet coke, yogurt, decaf tea and another salad with chicken. Granted I was doing good until the late afternoon when I ate like crap.
I'm babbling aren't I? This is when I need to stop talking because you don't need to know "everything" that happens to me. I'm just in a zone typing away!
