Free to a good home - Three beautiful children and two cute kitties!

I want some kids and cats that like to sleep and will not wake up their mother and father.  That's not a lot to ask for is it???????

Yesterday was the 4 a.m. wake up call with Trinity, cats and cat puke.  Today it was 5 a.m. with Lincoln the cats and more cat puke.  I was grumpy and beyond miserable.  Then Roxy has the nerve to cry about watching her TV show and wanting breakfast at 6 a.m.  Girlfriend, I am not feeding your ass!  I'm not awake enough yet to take your orders.

WOD - NOTHING!  My body needs the rest today and I did not want to get up and workout at 5:30 a.m. and I couldn't do it during lunch so I decided to rest today and I'm very happy I did.  I'm back up tomorrow biking and swimming so one day can't hurt me.

Food - Started off good with scrambled eggs and melted 2% cheese on top and an apple.  Then I fell apart when I saw the tiny cup cakes on the cabinets at work.  I ate three of them before 10 a.m.  Good morning body!  Have some sugar!  Back to my salad just now and going to grab my yogurt in a few minutes.

Ass - Had DR apt today.  I will be getting a cortisone shot in the ass but he needs to find the right doctor to do it.  My situation is rare and they normally don't give shots for pariformis syndrome.   Why not have this annoying problem and make sure it's a rare case.  Wouldn't have it any other way.  He will call me next week once he finds the right DR that will give me the shot and then we will go from there.  He did suggest I take up a different sport that does not beat up my body so badly.  I believe in crossfit because I was able to run 11.25 miles on Monday without any previous long runs, but I also wonder if crossfit is really beating up my body.  Something to ponder about!

Time to get off my chair and move around like an old lady.  I can't sit here anymore!







Rock that body! Come on, Come on rock that body!

I'm rocking it for sure and it's reminding me that I'm getting old and I will need to slow down at some point.  What?  I cannot slow down, hell no!  This girl is going to "rock that body" for a long time.  Unless I will need hip and knee replacements in the near future. 

Work day today.  Sitting on my pilates ball, rolling around at my desk so my ass doesn't hurt.  Still hurts though!  I'm having fun bouncing around though.

WOD - lunch time workout today.  30, 20, 10 reps of wall balls, squats and pushups followed by 10 X 200m sprints (average speed 8.8mph).  I HATE sprinting but thank goodness the distance was short because it wasn't that bad.  But when I did get to 5 of them I thought "are you fucking kidding me!  I have five more to go?  Oh this sucks!".  I'm happy now that I'm done :-)

Food - Work makes me gassy.  I wonder why?  I eat what I would eat at home but maybe it's the constant sitting that bothers my belly.  Anyways, I had my shake for breakfast along with a fiber one bar (I was beyond starving) then some almonds before my workout.  Now I just had my salad with baby spinach, veggies and turkey/cheese with a diet soda.  After my meeting at 2:30 p.m. I will grab my yogurt for my afternoon snack.

Kids - Time out for Lincoln this morning....little shit!  I was quick to throw them out the door and send them to school.  Trinity too!  While I'm trying to "beautify" myself (which I can't stand doing) Trinity is always asking me to help with her hair etc.  Girlfriend, this mama can't even take care of herself let alone make you look pretty.  But she does look so much better then I do.

Makeup monsters stole all my makeup by 10 a.m. and the baggage under the eyes were popping out saying "Hello!  Look at me!  I'm very tired and I'm going to sit here and make Stacia look like shit!".  Aren't they nice?  I'm not one to bring my makeup bag to work but I'm noticing more and more that I need it.  I don't look fresh and beautiful like I did this morning.  I go to looking like crap instantly.  Quite funny!

4 a.m. wake up call.  Trinity was in our bedroom complaining about a belly ache.  Need to poop?  Got gas?  Hungry?  No, no and no!  Well, get into our bed and go to sleep.  Now that she is gone from her room the cats are crying for her.  They love their Trinity and now that she's in our room with the door closed they are scratching like mad.  Go away cats!  It's 4:15 a.m. at this point and I'm in no mood.  Finally I get up to shove them off and I walk into Trinity's room to put them on her bed.  I step right in a load of puke.  Great!  Now I'm hopping to the bathroom to clean my foot.  There's puke in the bathroom that I stepped in as well.  Shit!  I'm on all fours scrubbing the bathroom floor and T's carpet.  Fucking cats!  4:30 a.m. back to bed and I better sleep.  6 a.m. Roxy is awake for the day.  Oh here we go!

Calgon take me away!

Does that shit even exist anymore?  I remember the commercial looking so relaxing.  Hell, if I had a chance to sit and bathe for an hour I would stress out about stuff that needs to get done before bed.  Plus I would stress out about getting to bed period.  I love bed so much!  It is so sad how excited I get when it's close by.  Last night hubby was out for a work dinner and I was in bed at 8:30 p.m. under my heating blanket and reading.  I was as giddy as a school girl.  I was so happy to be in bed early and reading with peace and quiet in my house.  However, my 8 year old wanted to lay with me and read too so there we are, the two of us quietly reading until after 9 p.m.

WOD - 800 yard swim and off to teach spin class plugging in 19 miles in 50 plus minutes.  After the swim and the biking I was DONE!  WOD#2 today was going back to class tonight plugging in another 19 - 20 miles.  I'm now SHOT!  I'm hoping my workout plan for tomorrow is pretty simple so I can recover.

Kids - Roxy and I just trashed the house.  Tis the season to switch over winter to summer clothes.  I'm always stuck with this job (of course I am, my husband would have no idea what to do).  Clothes were in the washer, dryer, on the floor, on the chair, in the kitchen, in the laundry basket and under the couch (don't ask!).  Roxy thought it was Christmas all over again.  She wanted to wear everything and she left either a shirt or shorts in some room in the house.  I changed over their shirt drawers since we can easily get away with t-shirts right now.  Shorts will have to wait!  I did save some stuff that they might wear next year because it's big.  I usually give clothes to friends or neighbors but this year EVERYTHING will be going in garbage bags and off to Goodwill.  I do not have the patience to sort through everything, not with 3 kids.  Hell no!

As for Lincoln an evil spirit is still lurking over him.  Today he was in time out 2X's when he got home from school.  The first one was for tipping his sisters chair and making her fall (done on purpose) and the second one was for screwing around with a ball inside the house and knocking everything off my mantel and breaking stuff.  He ran right upstairs and started screaming and apologizing.  He really thought that I was going to beat him up.  I should have recorded him.  The only thing I could do was laugh at first because he was freaking out so bad.  I guess my kids are scared of me!  That is cool.  It was 4:30 p.m. at this point and I told him to stay in his room until supper which was 5:45 p.m.  You screwed up again kid!  Now deal with the consequence.

Food - Eggs with sprout bread this morning, McD's chocolate chip cookies for snack (I wanted them so bad!), turkey/cheese on whole wheat sandwich thin with a diet soda for lunch, mindless eating while packing lunches again.  I was hungry but didn't know what to eat.  Didn't really have anything bad.  Just a nibble here and a nibble there.  Rushed off to class and just chowed down a bowl of pasta with two tiny sausage meatballs.  I need to brush my teeth before I attack the cabinets.

Ass - My ass issue is concerning.  I can't stop training therefore it is not going to go away.  I'll have to have a long talk with the DR on Friday.

TV time before I hit the hay!

Left Foot, Left Foot, Left Foot, Right!

How many times do I need to read "The Foot Book" by Dr. Seuss.  I know the damn book by heart!

Right now Lincoln is in his room crying because he had to go to bed early with the rest of the family downstairs.  Technically he was supposed to go to bed after school but I told him that he would go to bed early instead.  The little shit decided to bark up my tree this morning (not a good idea since my monthly friend decided to show up).  Don't mess with a hormonal mother at 7:15 a.m.  I will turn into the three headed monster that you have nightmares about.  We had a very STUPID argument this morning and he was being very fresh.  Well, I won!  It's quiet now!  I think he cried himself to sleep.....one child down, two to go!

WOD - Class day today so I needed to cherry pick from my workout plan again.  5 mile sprint on bike, 40 kettle ball swings, 40 situps, 40 squats 3X's.  15+ miles on the bike, 120 KB swings, 120 situps and 120 squats.  Phew!  My arms are still extremely sore from Sunday's pullups.  It even hurts to put my deodorant on because I'm rubbing on the sore muscle under my armpit.  Who the hell knew that our underarm muscles could be really sore.  I had no idea! 

I'm getting very anxious for my race on June 5th.  I have been training for the 1/2 IM for over 3 months now and I'm getting burnt out.  I have the rest of April and all of May to go before I race.  I don't have that much time left but this body is getting beat up really bad and I want to race NOW before I fall apart!  The thought of doing another 1/2 IM in July is beyond crazy.  What was I thinking.  Right now I just need to get through the June race and then worry about the July race when the time comes.  Oh boy!

Food - I had the snack attack around 3 p.m. today.  Packing the kids lunches and decided to nibble on everything in site.  If it wasn't nailed down it was in my belly.  I wasn't eating anything really sugary and bad for me but it was mindless eating which is very dangerous!  Doing good with my high fiber, shakes, salads, lean meats, fruit and veggies.  Trying the best that I can!  To date I'm only down 10 pounds which is not a lot in 3+ months but I'll take it.  I guess my body doesn't want to get rid of the fat.  It is holding onto it for dear life. 

Kids - Roxy and I had a good day today.  We hit the play scape after the gym.  The rain had stopped and the slides were wet but we cleaned them off and the kids had a good time.  We met up with Roxy's friend Leah from the gym.  They are inseparable.  Packed a good lunch and had fun.  Didn't get home until 2:30 p.m. and transferred Roxy to bed for nap.  15 minutes of peace before Lincoln gets off the bus.  Oh yeah!  Not much time for me today but I'll survive.  I never get "ME" time anyways!

Butt - I now ache in the morning when I get out of bed.  It's like a damn headache in my left ass cheek.  Very annoying now.  Tight in the morning so hard to bed down and tie kids shoes, tie my own damn shoes and move in general.  I have a DR apt on Friday so I don't know if he's going to give me a cortisone shot or not.  I need something to get me through my two races.  Juice me up Doc!  Give it to me from behind :-0

I am totally shocked at what I did today and no it wasn't dirty! Actually it kind of was!

I ran about 11.25 miles today without a care in the world at what the hell I was doing.  How awesome is that?  My plan had me running 13.1 miles but I didn't need to really go that far so why not be shy two miles.  My body got the point!  The best part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I dragged Grigs out to go with me.  We kept pace and chatted the entire time.  Our faces lit up like a Christmas tree when we were done because we were so damn happy that we did it.  I'm pumped, I'm happy, I'm excited, I feel incredible, I feel indestructible and I'm on top of the world with a nice attitude of "I'm going to kick butt at my races!".  Even though I have two more months of training I'm so freaking ready to race this weekend.  Bring it on!

Roxy was in daycare today so I was able to get groceries in the morning BY MYSELF and was able to put them all away without yelling at anybody.  When I was done I moved around the house to clean up a bit and then out the door for the run.  Hit TJ Maxx afterwards then home to shower/shave (really needed both) and then to the bus stop to get Lincoln.  Quite time is now over.  Played, made dinner, yard work, 2 loads of laundry, lunches and clean up.  After supper the family took a nice bike ride to get some fresh air.  WHAT A GREAT DAY! 

Food - Sprout bread with yogurt for breakfast, pb&j on whole wheat sandwich thin for my pre-run snack, recovery bar after run, protein shake, diet soda, a few cookies (I deserved them) and for supper I made pulled pork but with chicken, chick pea/kidney bean salad and tossed salad.  Very delicious meal and I had no 3 year old bugging me while I was making it.  That is why supper was nicer tonight.

Butt - did not hurt at all during the run.  My hamstrings and right calf were very tight towards the end but right now I feel really good.  I did not make out with my foam roller at all today which I would have liked to do but the bed will feel good enough.

Time to watch the boob-tube for a bit!

Happy Burfday to my sister Kate!

41 years old today.  And she doesn't look a day over 40.....ha ha ha ha!

Where has the weekend gone?  Is it Sunday night already?  My word!  I don't even remember what I did this weekend. 

Sat WOD - 6:30 a.m. bike ride.  29 degrees and it was F!@#$ freezing!  Met up with a group of girls and if they could ride in the cold I could too.  It was really nice to get back on the road bike after it has been hiding in the basement all winter long.  We only rode a little over 11 miles (The Winding Trails Women's Triathlon route).  I was supposed to ride 30 miles but there was no way in hell that I was going to do the loop two more times and lose my toes to frostbite.  Hell no!  I just chalked up the 11 miles as my WOD and enjoyed the rest of the day.  Changing bed linens, laundry, shower (yes I did shower), a visit to the play scape, rake the yard, prune some bushes, bake a cake (for my sister's birthday), play with kids and neighbors kids, head out to pasta supper for the Terryville Lions Club, off to Mom's afterwards to have cake for Kate and then home.  I had a good day but I was so excited to hit the sack!

Sun WOD - This workout was more stressful because my "plan" did not workout.  First of all we had church in the morning and then I had to go to the gym for a swim lecture right after.  The coach was late which screwed up all my timing but things did workout.  The swim lecture went good and I also got my workout in.  At this point I had only my shake and it was 1 p.m. and I was ready to eat my arm.  I devoured a small Subway flatbread sandwich and then hit the gym for my workout.

500m row, 21 box jumps, 21 pushups, 500m row, 15 box jumps, 15 pushups, 500m row 9 box jumps, 9 pushups for time = 13:09 followed by 100 pullups for time = 9:03.  These two workouts were cherry picked from other workouts that I did not get in late last week and yesterday.  I'm just cutting and pasting these workouts together to fit my schedule.  22 minutes and arms were ready to fall off.

Time to rush home to get Lincoln to a birthday party.  Finally back home at 4:30 p.m. to cook supper and get the kids to bed after a game of Sorry.  Now I'm sitting on the couch watching Amazing Race and concerned that my ass is going to hurt so bad when I get up.  OUCH!  Oh yeah, and I'm really hungry.  I didn't snack all damn day because I had no time to.

Tomorrow is a long run day (13 miles) and I pray that I can get at least 10 miles in under my belt.  The furthest I have run is 7 miles.  Oh geez, lets tack on another 6 why not!  I pray daycare will take Roxy for the day because this mama is going to need the couch later in the afternoon.

One ounce of chocolate and I have the worst gas ever!

Seriously!  It's very funny how you go without chocolate and then BAM, you eat some and your stinking up a storm.  I was in Walgreens and I saw the peanut butter and chocolate covered eggs.  I buy one for .39 (on sale) because I wanted one.  Now I am paying for it.  I was tooling around on my lunch break and green mist was flying out of my backside in each store.  I wasn't even embarrassed, how sad is that!  All because I wanted a Reese's egg.  Damn!

My motto today was "I'm on a fucking mission so don't you dare get in my way!".  I have been hauling ass at work getting my shit done and getting all my errands done at lunch time.  I have checked everything off my "to-do list" and I feel so much better.

WOD - was done at 5:30 a.m.  21, 15, 9 reps of 60lb thrusters and dips for time = 8 minutes followed by 900 yard (1/2 mile) swim for time = 17:26.  For a 26 minute workout my arms were ready to fall off.  I could not even hold them up to blow dry my hair this morning. 

Ass - very tight in the mornings to the point where walking is difficult.  Before I did any working out this morning I had to walk on the treadmill for .3 miles to warm it up.  Each stride I would take with my left leg just pulled the muscle and made me limp.  After I warmed it up I was good to go.  Not happy sitting but I just need to ignore it right now.  As my sister would say "Twatever!".

Food - I'm a hungry mama today.  Could be the early morning workout!  Normal shake, grapefruit, fiber bar, chocolate (I'm allowed) and now I need to eat my salad for lunch.  Supper is leftover chicken with quinoa.  Doesn't that sound scrumptious?

Off to work before I get in trouble.
