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.
