So…after a week of not eating quite right (but not too badly), not enough exercise, and sitting on my ass in meetings all day….I am SO ready to hit the ground running!! LITERALLY. 

The Baby Got Back Challenge has arrived just in time to save me from the mind-numbing week I’ve just been through.  Everyone is going to be about a day ahead of me..BUT:

I’m here

I’m focused

I love a challenge

I need a little help on what is considered clean eating (just give me a list of what I CAN eat)

I’m looking forward to a smaller, tighter, brighter…uh..I mean lighter ass…:)

I’ve already got some darn good muscle on the back, tri’s and ham’s…I just need to drop the fat!!

SO….the heat is on my fellow competitor’s…..bring it, baby….BRING IT.  Wooo Hoo…

Stats:  (the only thing that really matters to me right now is my weight….I’ve got the muscles….now I want them to show!!

Weight:  I’ve unfortunately inched back up to 182…grrrrr….that number is going DOWN

Waist:  34"

What else should I post?….maybe some pics in about three weeks.

Good luck to everyone…..you’re going to need it…..Bwhhahhahahahaaaaa 

Softball season is just about over for me….and it’s been a good one for our team!!  We finished the regular season 11-1  ..not to shabby, eh?  We’re now into playoffs and have won our first two games and will play the final two on the weekend. Here’s hoping to winning them all..

I’m a catcher on a co-ed team and have worked hard for many years to earn the respect of the males on the team.  They’ve finally learned to get out of my way and let me play my position.  Nothing used to piss me off more than the old guy on the team who pitches for us, always thinking he needed to run to homeplate to catch the incoming balls…BUDDY get the hell out of my way…you’re screwing up the play!!  This past weekend was an awesome game, fast-paced, lots of action! 

So…I’m hanging out on homeplate watching the runner from third coming towards me, I look to the short-stop who has the ball….here the ball comes…and it is freakin’ smokin’!! I make the catch and swing toward the runner who has decided to do a full out slide (feet first).. I make the tag before he touches home plate…WOO HOO…the next thing I know he completely knocked both my feet out from under me, I’m proud to say I STILL hung onto the ball.   I’m uninjured, other than a slightly bruised ankle…but ol’ slide-boy…he’ll be nursing some bruised ribs for a few days…ha..ha..!!   There are a few advantages to putting on some extra pounds of muscles!!  I don’t think he was anticipating his actions would land me and my muscles on top….I just picked myself up, dusted off…and walked to the dugout…3 outs, sucker!!

I had a GREAT workout this evening….just a cardio night.  My powercycling instructor ROCKS!  She’s a hardcore cyclist who knows how to get the most out of her group.  Some day I WILL keep up to her.  Tonight was definitely my personal best since climbing back in the saddle…good stuff.  I had a little trouble today eating clean….guess there is always tomorrow…

I tried a couple of practice pictures in the mirror by myself. …wow…I suck a posing…ha.  BUT…I actually saw a couple of tiny muscles!!  Maybe I actually will post some pics this weekend. We’ll see…I need to work on getting brave first.

I’ve only been trying HITT training for the last few days…but…or is that BUTT…I can feel a few things happening!!  I’m basically trying my own version of HITT training on the bike. 

I start out with 15 minutes just warming up and powering up, then I transition into 15 minutes of HITT. One minute high intensity, one minute low intensity…etc.  Then I finish off with another 15 minutes of power and cool down.  The scale is beginning to wobble…DOWN.    After a month of no change on the scale it’s a nicccccccce feeling to see some progress.

I’m still on board to post a progress picture in a couple weeks…still a lil’ chubby but maybe a tiny little muscle will show up somewhere…ha.
