It's true! I don't know if it was the grapefruit or almonds that made me gassy but I was making sure that I stayed "quiet". Nothing like doing a ton of sit ups with a co-worker and slipping out a toot. That would be embarrassing.
WOD - 250 situps for time = 16:00 and 20 minute run for distance = 2.31 miles (I had it at a .5% incline for you Grigs). A 36 minute workout and I saved all the gas for the treadmill. Nobody can hear me anyways because they are all plugged into their ipods. AND it was only air.
Sitting on an exercise ball all day to relieve some pain in my ass. It actually works. Sitting in my chair kills it so the ball is so much better. Granted, my tailbone gets sore from the ball but at least I can sit and work without needing to get up every 10 minutes to stretch it out. I'm not even 40 yet and I have all these issues.
Food - I haven't been really hungry today. Shake for breakfast with a fiber granola bar, grapefruit, handful of almonds, salad with cold cuts, yogurt and diet soda. Now I'm chomping on gum just to get me home so I can devour supper.
Kids - Don't know! They are at school/daycare and I'm away from them all day. I need the kid break but it will be chaos when I get home no doubt. Thursday and Friday nights are our CRANKY nights. I can't wait!

God bless the fiber!!!!!!!!!!
A. It makes you more full throughout the day.
B. I'm down to 190 pounds as of today.
C. Could have been from the very large (sorry but I have to say this) BM I had this morning. There went my 2 pounds. Giddy up! I love you FIBER!
D. I get to actually eat some yummy stuff.
A busy but good day! I had a wonderful afternoon with my buddy Grigs! She came over for lunch and I made her a nice salad and warmed up some leftover pizza. It was a great lunch with my twin from a past life. We of course bitched, moaned and groaned about our hair, clothes, saggy bellies, busy schedules and skinny people. I love you Grigs! And guess what? I bought you a dress!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOD #1 - :20 of squats, burpees, lunges and pushups followed by 1X400yd, 2X200yd, 3X100yd and 4X50yd swim (1300yards total).
WOD #2 - 60 min spin class - very fast flats, :20 sprints/:10 rest 30X's and then back to fast flats. Phew!
Food - I did make brownies and ate some batter HOWEVER, I actually felt sick from it. I did not have a lot like I normally would. The spoonfuls that I had (which wasn't very much) made my belly yucky. When the were baked and I needed to cut them all up I did have two very small and broken brownies. Not bad! It could have been so much worse. The rest of the day was a shake, salad, one slice of pizza, a small piece of the kid's grinder from Subway and then supper was another story. Came home ravenous so I had a whole wheat sandwich thin with 100% PB and jelly and some cheese with crackers. I need to brush my teeth before I start looking into the snack canyon again!
Kids - Very busy day with them. After my morning workout and hitting the store, Roxy and I were outside raking, I was actually raking and Roxy was screwing around. Then after my lunch time visit I needed to do work on the computer and pack bags for the afternoon. I needed to get Trinity at school and me and all three kids went back to the gym because she had a swimming field trip with her Brownie Troop. Swam with the kids, then I had to shower them, get them dressed, order dinner at Subway and send them off to daycare so I can teach class. I do have to say my kids do a great job with our busy lifestyle. But Lincoln will fall apart every once in a while.
And one quick question to you all................why must toddlers take their shoes off in the car every damn time? It could be 10 degrees out or 90 degrees out. Why? Do they think I want to smell their feet? NO! Do they think I like to put their socks and shoes on every time we get out of the car? NO! Do they want to drive their mother crazy? Most likely! They find it funny but I don't!

Nothing is ever easy! It's always complicated.
I'm rushing to get out the door to teach class and Roxy decides to take her shoes off and wear flip flops. Time to get her sneakers on for the 3rd time. Now I'm going to be late.
I get the kids ready to leave to hit the store right before supper and Lincoln drops an entire class of OJ on the floor. Now I need to mop the entire floor.
I'm on the highway heading towards the mall and there's an accident so I am detoured around the entire town of Meriden......great!
Buy what I need at the store and decide to take the kids to the pet store and look at all the cute bunnies, hamsters, puppies and fish......Now Trinity will not leave me alone about buying her a hamster. NO, NO, NO and another NO! A simple browse turns into an attack on Mommy about I want, I want and I want.
WOD - Taught class for 90 minutes. We rode the bike and lifted. We also did a good ab workout and a nice stretch.
Food - Trying to get more fiber into my diet. Forgetting about the no gluten thing and going with the higher fiber. It's fun to bring back the breads and I'm enjoying it for sure. Tonight I had a nice plate of spaghetti with meatballs. I'm doing a double duty workout tomorrow so I'm guessing the extra carbs will be really good for me. Plus I wanted some damn pasta.
Time to play SORRY with the kids. Off to bed my little minions because this mama wants some down time.

"Mommy your mean!"
Are you !@#$% kidding me! I'm mean? Just you wait until you see mean! I'm ready to kick some ass!
I send Lincoln and Roxy outside after school for some fresh air. Lincoln is already miserable for some reason. I asked him to feed the rabbits. Well, you'd think I asked him to rake the whole yard and paint the house. I mean really! He's in tears trying to feed the rabbit and just being miserable. They ask to come inside and I say NO because it's nice outside and they need to run around before supper. That is when I hear the comment. First I rip Roxy a new ass for saying it and sent her to her room. She told me Lincoln said it and I found him outside and I ripped him a new ass too. I was pissed! Just because I told them to feed the rabbits and play outside. Suck it up guys! I made Lincoln go to my room for the rest of the afternoon until supper. He's crying and saying "Mommy I am so sorry!" "Mommy I didn't mean it!". You can tell he was really upset but I was having none of it. Within minutes he fell asleep. And boy did he need it. Roxy came out and apologized but I was still brewing.
Needless to say, Lincoln slept for an hour and a half. I woke him up before supper and made him apologize to me. He sat at the table just sulking. He didn't even eat!
Roxy was in time out while we all ate because she didn't want the Nemo dinner plate. She threw a fit. Sorry girl, get your ass upstairs so I can eat in peace and supper was peaceful.
One last kid story, Roxy had two timeouts at the gym today because she was running and not listening. I asked her to apologize and she wouldn't. Let's just say, I sat at the gym daycare for 45 minutes with Roxy crying waiting for her to apologize. I talked and talked and talked and told her that she needed to apologize for her naughty behavior. She made such a scene and I was having none of it. I was going to win this battle and sure as shit I did! It was painful going through it but she did say "sorry" really quick but at least she said it.
WOD - 40K Bike = 25 miles. I sat in spin class to get the miles in. I could not sit on the stationary bike and do this kind of mileage. I found a seat in the corner and put my head down and pedaled for an hour. The music was motivating so it wasn't that bad. I got it done. Phew!
Food - I've haven't been watching my food intake so much. Still doing the high fiber and trying to behave but I do sneak in some fun stuff here and there. I had a fatty weekend so the ride today was good. My belly rolls didn't look that bad today.
Ass - It's bad and I need to figure out what to do. I'm in the process of doing my own research on how to fix it but I just need some extra time on the computer and some planning. Ha, when the hell will I get that done!
Cat - get off my damn computer and stop licking my ears. Every time I sit at the computer my kitten Molly joins me and loves to walk all over my keyboard. .......go away!
Time to read to the kids and maybe sit down and watch some of my own TV. Wouldn't that be fun!

Something found!
14 years ago for my father's 50th birthday I had not even a pot to piss in. My sister had a party at her house with the entire family and he received many extravagant gifts from his family and friends. Now 50 years old was a milestone for my father because he never thought he would live to be 40. Turning 50 was big for him.
Due to my NO income and just graduating from college I needed to be creative with his present. I cut up a bunch of paper and made fake $100 and $50 bills. I also made a couple of coupons for him along with the fake money; a coupon for a new 4X4 pick up truck that I would buy for him and a coupon for a home in Tennessee that I would buy and have built for him. A few things you should know; my father never really had money and he drove these beat up vehicles that he would always fix himself. He also bought 7 acres of land in the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee that he would retire to and build a home. He never did get a new vehicle and later on he needed to sell his 7 acres because he needed the money and he was never going to live down there. It was very sad for me to see my father never live his dream. I would push and push him to go but it never did happen. I'm sure somewhere in the big blue sky he's tooling around in Tennessee enjoying himself plus he's driving a brand new pick up truck.
This present was not much but it was all that I could do for him at the time. I always wanted to help my father but the help he needed most was to work in his yard or garden. He was grateful enough for that.
Today, this box with fake money and coupons found it's way back into my hands. My father kept this box for 14 years and now I have it. It really did make me cry! Trinity too!

I am so proud of Trinity!!!!!!!!
Her school Talent Show was last night and she made her momma proud. Trinity and her friend Sydney sang and danced to Dancing Queen. They sounded so good and since it was an 80's theme show they were sporting the side pony tail, gel bracelets, fishnet gloves and a tie dye shirt. It was great!
Happy Saturday! A day of no plans and normal running around. Trinity slept over her friends house last night so we were minus one child this morning. It was my turn to sleep in but by 7:15 a.m. I was starving and needed some breakfast. I barely said good morning to everybody as I head right over to the stove to scramble some eggs.
Todd took off to the dump with Lincoln while I stayed home with Roxy. Roxy and I put together a puzzle then I included her in my workout.
WOD - 800m run, 21 burpees, 800m run 15 burpees, 800m run, 9 burpees for time = ????? (did not get a new watch yet but would say it took about 20 minutes). I put Roxy in the jogging stroller and we headed out .25 miles and ran back, did my burpees at the end of my road and back out running again. I did that 3 times and it was not fun. I'm sick of the burpees from yesterday and pushing Roxy gave me a workout in the legs. Then there was the wind that blew right at me. Roxy asked me questions the entire time and I could barely answer her because I could not talk. "Mommy, why are you running? Mommy, how much further? Mommy, do you like to run? Can we go home? I'm thirsty! I'm hungry! I'm chilly Mommy! Do you have more to do? Where are we going?". It was entertaining!
Food - scrambled eggs with sprout bread and decaf tea, greek yogurt, homemade chicken salad on whole wheat sandwich thin with baby spinach, slice of cheddar cheese and sweet potato tortilla chips with salsa. I'm now rummaging through the kitchen and decided to have a banana while I also snacked on some cheeze dootles that the kids were eating. Those things are a damn waste.
Ass - I'm limping along today. Trying not to sit long and when I do I'm in agony. I stretched really good after the run but I don't think that even matters anymore.
Kids- Everybody was tired from a late night last night that Roxy and Lincoln napped, Trinity came home at 12 p.m. and we headed out to register for Little Miss Southington. Yup! She wants to participate in a pageant but mind you it's not a beauty pageant. It is more of a self esteem building type show. She wanted to do it so bad that I could not resist.
It's only 3:35 p.m. so I could want to sell my children within the hour! Right now the TV is on, they are chilling and my husband is putting in a new counter top for our bathroom sink. Very interesting! This is why we write checks!
Enjoy the sunshine today!

I HATE Burpees!
They are my enemy. They make me sweat, cry, moan, groan, sore and miserable. Sadly, I still do them.
WOD done at 5:30 a.m. to get it out of the way - 15 squats with 15lb shoulder press and 21 burpees 4X's for time = 18 minutes or so. Forgot to check my time when I was done. After that fun part I needed to swim for 15 minutes and note how far I went. I just swam a 1/2 mile because my watch fell off in the pool and sank to the bottom. I had no breath to retrieve it so I just continued on my merry way. Couldn't look at time anymore so I just swam 18 laps. I would say it took me around 17 - 18 minutes. I complained so much about my legs being tired, my arms are a mess. Between the shoulder presses, burpees and swim my upper body is shot. That is 60 shoulder presses and 84 pushups/burpees. That is enough for me today.
After I swam, I told the lifeguard to keep my watch because I needed to buy a new one anyways! I wasn't going to dive down and retrieve it. I was too tired.
Busy day ahead of me. Tons on my plate for work and Trinity has her Talent Show tonight so I need to get out a bit early to make it to the school. I'm so excited for a "nothing-to-do" weekend.
