Let’s just say, I am not doing a very good job.  I am getting my workouts done, eating pretty clean, but that’s about it.  I learn a new word, but then a day later, I forget it.  For me to really learn the word, I need to use it.  Wouldn’t you agree?  So this week, which is the last week of the challenge, I shall learn a new word by using it.  Lets see how that goes.

 The word for today is plutocracy.

Plutocracy is the way of life in many countries.

Saturday afternoon, I attended the USBF Northern Virginia Natural “Battlefield Classic” Bodybuilding & MsUSBF Figure Championships held in Vienna, VA.  The event was hosted by Brigette Gordon, who looks even better in person.   I only caught the finals, but it was entertaining nonetheless.  I did not know any of the competitors, but I cheered them on.  I would assume that being on stage and doing the various poses has its share of pressure.  As I sat in the audience, I began think to myself, maybe I can be on stage one day.  I would not do figure, because I would bust my a$$ trying to walk in those shoes.  Bodybuilding I think would be my best bet, although I would be on the smaller side of things.  Some of my friends call me skinny and that I need to eat.  While others say I am strong for my size.  I think I like ‘the strong for my size’ comment better. J  I plan to continue getting stronger for my size, whatever that means.  I do know that I feel better about myself ever since I joined BodySpace.  I have been able to communicate with others that truly share my passion and some who are allowing me to tag along with them on their journey.

Have you ever been at work and find yourself daydreaming?  I’m sure we all have, but have you found yourself daydreaming about being at the gym?  If I asked this question to one of my friends, they would look at me like I was crazy, but I know my fellow bodyspacers would understand.   I am here at work, picturing myself at the gym, getting my pump on…grrrr!  Going heavy on chest press with my two 35lbs free weights…yeah, that is heavy for me.  I knock out my first set of 10 and then I get up and do 10 incline push-ups.  I repeat for four sets, and as I am about to move on to do some skull crushers, my phone rings.  The cloud above my head pops, and I am back at work listening to someone on the phone, but not really hearing them.  My little daydream escape is now over, but tomorrow is another day…yeah!
