Lady McMike’s BodyBlog

so one of the trainers at my gym is in this show on saturday. its the natural mucsle olympus show or something like that. i want to go to upport her but also to check it out and kinda get a feel for the whole realm of this contest stuff. see if it something i could imagine myself growing balls to do ** not literally** or something i would just hate… we will see how it goes, if i go of course. im kinda excited about it but i like to take it easy and catch up on sleep on saturdays. lol. only after a harsh workout of course.

so i had to do a paper for school on a physical education article from a magazine, and i read an article about childhood obesity. After reading it i was in shock at all the statistics and ive been reading more articles on the topic. I must say it is fasinating to me, i find its prevalent to todays world and we ignore it way to often. Year after year the "epidemic"  and it is an epidemic, gets worse, and when will we get to a point where we realize. holy shit all of our kids are overweight. I mean one of the stats was 22 million… 22 MILLION child from around the world UNDER 5years old are OVERWEIGHT over OBSESE. are you kidding me??!?! there is no reason for a 5 year old to already be consuming to much shit food, and being that inactive. At 5 they should be at a prime of activity, riding bikes, and hiking, and playing on pkaygrounds and running around with friends. But this is not the world of today. Today we are consumed buy the television, the computer scrren, and video games. The couch is our kids best friend and a bag of Doritios is now our greatest companion. Which makes our cute little puppies neglected. Hey they can get overweight with mom, dad and the kids too. The way of todays world sets up every kid for failure and we have let it go out of control. Industries thrive… THRIVE on childhood obesity. Coke and Pepsi sit in school all day with our kids and rack up quaters. Along with other companys that produce the soda and the candy and crap that is in the vending machines found in numerous locations around school. I found it funny that there was 4 vending machines outside of one of my gyms in my high school. A little counter productive, but ok. I mean it wasnt bad enough that nobody really participated but now they are slamming down some powdered donuts and a coke. I could go on and on forever. Literally. FOREVER. i have such a strong opinion about this stuff. I transfered schools and im now a physhical education major, and im finally realizing why i switched. I wanted to be a personal trainer. but being a gym teacher seems like a better spot for me. An adult is a person with a life time of bad habits. A child in an unfortunate victim that is still able to be molded. I want to help in fighting  childhood obesity.. I want to give our kids a better future by giving them the tools to be healthy. A kid can be happy with a twinkie but when the twinkie is gone, whats to smile about. When a kid is fit they can always smile… for the  most part. I want to instill confidence in my kids by showing them how to be fit and active and to be healthy. The biggest part is health. All these kids are getting problems that our grandparents. Its terrible… but enough im rabbling now…

so i just got home from my canoeing trip with one of my classes for school. lol. yea canoeing for school and its a 3 credit class!!! I love it. Anwyays, canoeing is a great chest and sholder workout. Esp going up stream through the rapids. so if i ever want to blast my pecs again i know exactly what to do. And its relativly fun, and a change of pace from the gym which i see way to often (not that im complaining, the gym i my home more than my real home). but now im going to take a nap, im pooped. lol

damn, another rough and rough day. Currently cant feel my back, well ok i feel a stabbing pain in the middle of the numbness. lol. yea it definatly didnt hurt while i was pullin out set after set and increasing weight. but after a few hr nap i felt like i got run over by a mac truck. I feel as though the body should have a signal that goes off, like a bell of a light that says "umm hi, this is going to hurt later you should stop now so you can move later". i think i would benefit from this feature, lol. I seem to be kicking my ass more than usually lately. Im just not feeling good about myself bc school and work are straining my systematic ways and eating and its just pissing me off. i have ocd and it really flusters me. ok, im off to eat before doing endless homework and then maybe some sleep eventually. lol.

how do you know that you gave it your all and that you couldnt possible try any harder?

the answer: when you stop to rest after a set you look up real fast into the mirror and you go black, and when you get your vision back and your about ready to vomit you begin to cry, tears coming down your face you look into the mirror again and just mutter 2 words "you bitch"… yea you say it to yourself. Seriously it was the most intense workout ive ever put myself through. I dont cry im not a crier at all, i grit my teeth and i continue. but now i know what its like to really push it.

well school started and im still working my summer schedule at work and im worling out and well i sleep sometimes too. Its sad really. one week in and im spent. i drove hime from work today and i was sleeping the whle way. i was up til 130 doing course work and then got up 5hrs later… ugh its just a pain in the ass.

well i go back to school tomorrow. ive been away from school for almost a year due to military training and well lose of interst, haha. Never could find a major i really enjoyed much. So after month of hardcore nagging i decided to go back to school. Thankfully the person naggin me also made me aware of something i probably could stick with… Phys. Ed. im good with kids and well i like anything physical. So… the point of my story is this.. my workout schedule.. which was adjusted for work recently is not as easily adjusted for work and school. i go to school from 8-1 every other day and then 10-12 the other days and like 8-4 on mondays… yay for BIO labs, haha not. and then work after school and the gym is only open for so many hrs a day, and i can only fanangle things sooo much ya know. and im rambling but im just trying to figure it out and the only way it works is if i never sleep just about, and that will not work for me. Oh no! i require a huge time slot for sleep each day. So it should be interesting trying to figure something out. in the mean time im riding my bike (which i havent done since i was a small girl) becuase the gym closed at 2 for the holiday. ugh! talk about inconvient. lol… and on and on i ramble… and now im done.

well im one of those who writes out my workout routine the night before. its a little nerdy but i have a terrible memory and so i have to write everything down so i know what to do. but sometimes i go through what i wrote and as im sweating my ass off and ready to cry b/c im in so much burning pain, i honestly ask who flippin wrote this damn routine up and were they tryng to kill me. seriously sometimes i think im on crack, bc i pick some of the most un fun shit ever, and i ask myself wtf man? lol. I think maybe sometimes i forget im still just a human. lol. I just brought this up becuase a.) today was one of those days. pick all the hard ham exercises and i almost yelled outloud at myself for beign so mean. lol… and b.) just wondering if anyone else does it or if im the only one being an ******* toward myself and torturing myself… hahah. well today was a long day at the gym and then work and tomorrow is the start of a 20 hr weekend so im off to bed so i can wake up and workout. haha.

so the other day i wake up, do the same routine as always and head to the gym, and as i pull intot he parking lot im terrified to see absolutly no cars… what the hell i think to myself as i drive up to the door to see a note.. :gym closed today due to power putages:… i drive away throwing a tantrum like im about 5 years old. it was soo rediculous. and as i drove away i was like wll ok, now what? it was sooo lost it was pathetic. actually the more pathetic part was that they actually gave me a personal call at my house to tell me the gym was up and running again later in the day. I go so much they felt obligated to let me know i could come home, haha. i consider the gym home sometimes…. but yea. it was such a crappy start to a day. i came home and sat around doing nothing, i tried to think if something, and when i couldnt. i went back to bed for 4 hrs, haha. Never ever take away the gym from me, im like a lost puppy without it..haha.. i got to go today, but funny thing was i woke up and immediatly called to make sure. I pray that never happens again!!
