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~!

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.
