GIJANE93’s BodyBlog

I’ve been busy busy busy!  I just wanted to check in with everyone to see how we’re all doing….Me, I’m currently umemployed, I just finished up teaching Bible school for the week and am trying to figure out what in the world to do with myself.  I’ve been at the same job for 11 years now, and I feel like I am in a whole new world, like I can do anything!  Any suggestions for my new career?

People think I’m crazy when they get in my car, and see a 5 pound hand weight in there.  I have a daily commute to and from work.  On the days that I do legs at the gym, I’ll do just some light arms in the car.  I keep one of the weights at my desk and the other in my car.  HELP!! I really am addicted……..

I was of course drawn to this news story like a moth to a flame.  I can never fathom how someone could kill their own child.  Or their wife.  We don’t know the details of everything yet, but of course they are saying that it could be due to "ROID RAGE".  What do we think about this?

I want to start running in the morning before work.  I’m concerned, because I’m heavier than I should be, about what kind of impact this will make on my body as far as my joints, etc……. Anyone have any tips on just starting out?

I’m so fed up with my job.  I’m venting here…….it’ll pass!  My bosses are a bunch of money hungry little satans!  Help!!! I find that the more pissed I get at them the harder I work out…..so that is definately a big plus.  I have worked here for 11 years.  I work for 25 attorneys. (i know what you’re thinking, and believe me- I feel ya)…… I thought about what GI Jane would do yesterday when I was told that a bill that I was sending out was more than my annual salary…… I imagined her doing a roundhouse kick to this attorneys face while telling him to "suck her d*ck" (from the movie)……..It made me smile as I took the bill from him.  That’s awesome…….

Well, I’m back from the cruise and now it’s back to the grindstone here at work…..MAJOR BLAH!  And I’m still having trouble getting back to reality!  Except in the gym.  I hit it hard this week, but it’s well worth feeling good sore muscles and all!

I have been asked why my name here is GI Jane.  Well, it’s because I love that movie, and when I’m having a meltdown, to re-charge myself I ask, "What would GI Jane do?"……I have a bad day at work…..the boss is breathing down my neck, I drive home crying again….I pop my pissed off CD in the player (Alice in Chains best of CD) and ask myself - What would GI Jane do…?  She certainly wouldn’t be sitting here crying over her boss being an as*hole!  So it makes me get tough….especially when there’s no punching bag around!

I went to the gym as usual today, but I worked out like a mad woman because I realized while swiping my gym pass — I’ll be in a swimsuit for 7 days straight starting tomorrow!  (the thought of it still……makes me cringe)  But I’m more proud of my body now than I ever have been because I am toned and muscular as opposed to just fat and flab.  It’s funny though, I still can’t get over being selfconscious about it after so many years of beating myself up over it…… But the winds of change or a’blowin!

I’m getting ready to go on my cruise this week……I’ve vowed to stay on the straight and narrow, even though everyone says the food is excellent.  The good thing is that there is a state of the art gym and walking track on the boat…….so I can hit it first thing in the mornings so that I won’t feel so bad.  And by bad, I mean, I just don’t feel right when I don’t work out! That’s a good thing right!!?

I’m so glad that I found this website! I’m a beginner, so if ya’ll see me being lazy- kick my butt!!!!
