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!

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.
