My hubby told me this evening that he wants to start lifting and workout and eating right again!!!! YEA! I’m so tickled this will make it ever so much easier for me to stay on track with my eating. He’s a big junk eater and that stuff being in the house was/is just to tempting for me. I know I’m so weak and I totally admit that,but hey we all have our weaknesses right. YEP! So now that he’s on track with me my future shopping trips will be whole foods. I’m so happy!!!

Well today was leg day. It was my first leg day since coming back into the weight room. It was good oh so good.

Smith squats - 50/12,60/12,70/12

standing calf raises - 30/8,60/25,75/25,90/25

leg curls - 50/12,60/12,65/12

leg extensions - 40/12,50/12,60/12

db sldl - 15/12,20/12,25/12

hip abduction - 60/12,70/12,80/12

hip adduction - 60/12,70/12,80/12

leg press - 190/12,210/12,215/12

I had to use the leg press in the nautilus room b/c there were a bunch of hogs using the other. I swear this morning I walked in the weight room and the men (I think there was about 4 in there ) all looked at me like I pissed on their parade. I didn’t pay any attention at all and went on about my business of pumping iron. After I was finished I did some ab work too,then headed home to eat. I cut it too close this morning and was shaky by the end of my workout. Didn’t like that feeling at all.

I can’t believe how fast the first 5 months of this year has gone by! It’s crazy! Yesterday we had to go the get Carissa my daughter registered for the 2008 cheer season. Now today we have to take all 3 of the kids to get their physicals. They hold an day each year where they offer free physicals and since our insurance won’t cover them (stupid) that saves me $75.00 so I’m not complaining. But it is a long wait as there’s a ton of people there. In a week or so Jason will be starting preseason pratices and his regular lifting schedule with the team at the field house. My summers usually get crazy with all three of the kids in sports. My biggest thing now is that Carissa has gymnastics on Friday evenings and Jason’s games will be Friday night. How I’m going to do that one I have no idea.

I need to go to the store to get just a few things,brown rice,fresh fruits and veggies,ww pitas and tortillas things like that. I have a tons of chicken and some salmon in the freezer so I’m good there. I just hate going out right now it’s soooo busy out. I may try to hold off until at least tomorrow. I dunno.

Ok I’m rambling my thoughts out here so I’m ending this for now.

TTYL!

Our dog Princess was wanting in and we didn’t let her in when she wanted,I could feel someone starring at me. We pulled back the drapes and wow there she was,Jason my oldest snapped this shot of her. She really wanted in……

I got there a bit late, my youngest son was out of school today and he was going with me. So that put me a bit behind. All in all I felt good today and got in a good workout. I did my shoulders today but took it easy on my right shoulder as to not irritate my acl again.

flies - 50/12,60/12,65/8

db press - 10/12,12/12,15/12

cable crossover - 30/12×2,50/8

db front raise- 3/12,8/12×2

db shoulder press - 8/12,10/x2

did a 10 min. warm up before lifting on the elliptical and then afterward returned for another 20 minutes. 5 minute warm up,10 minutes of intervals 30/30 then a 5 minute cool down.

I then went back to the mats to do some stretching and ab work but it was hard to do b/c there was trainer there hogging up the place. UGh that irritates me!

On an up note there was another girl in there with me this morning. I was so tickled to see another female lifting. Well I’m off to shower I am all stinky!

So I’m going around the house this morning to make sure I have all the dirty laundry gathered to start a load of clothes. Well my two sons share a room and their room is right by the basement stairs (yep the same ones I fell down) and all they have to do is open the door and toss down their dirty clothes. B/c I wash clothes daily this is not a problem.  Well low and behold I get to the stair basket in hand with some odds and ends I found in bedrooms and I go to open the door and it won’t open all the way. I’m like what the… I close and take a peak behind it and what do see but a pile of stinky dirty clothes all pushed up against the wall. Grrrr… this drives me nutso!  How hard is it to open a door and toss your dirty clothes so I can get to them in the mornings. OMG they act like they are going to break something if they turn the knob to open the damn door.

My youngest son is on this pick on mom kick. So we have been going round and round lately,not a bad thing just joking with each other and a bit of wrestling. (you know I always win). My oldest is trying to get the phone surgically attached to his ear,I swear this kid lives on that phone. Talking to his girlfriend all the time. Get a life please! I can’t wait for football season to start so he can get away from the thing oh I mean girl.

LOL yep there it is my venting post, and I’m sure it’s not going to be the last one since school is officially out for the summer next week. I love my kiddos and I love spending time with them but man do they irk me sometimes!

This is a recipe I made up when I was lifting before my accident. And I had it for m1 this morning. It’s yummy!

5 egg whites, 1 egg, 1 serving of low fat shredded cheddar cheese, 4 oz leftover chicken, 5 sliced mushrooms

prepare as you would an omlette and enjoy!

I got there around 8 am and warmed up 10 minutes on the elliptical. Then headed for the free weights. seated rows 50/15, 70/15,80/10  pulldowns-40/15,60/15,80/8,db rows - 8/15,10/12,12/12  good morning with 25 lb plate weight 3 sets of 15,overhead db extenstions - 8/15×3,pushdowns 30/15,50/15,60/15,db kickbacks  8/15×3.  While I was going through my lifts some guy you know we all have at least one,the guy that comes every day,puts on his lift belt and gloves does a set and then proceeds to walk around talking to everyone in sight then eventually comes back to do another set and repeating his travels through out the gym. Well he walks up to me b/c it was rather dead this morning not to many there,he says something but I don’t hear him,so I take out my head phones and say what. He said I said this is new for you. Meaning me being in there was new for me. I said oh no it’s not. He said huh. I said I’m just coming back from an injury that put me out for over a 1 1/2 years. He looked baffled like I was from mars or something now granted I’m the only woman that goes in there in the mornings but damn come on. He just walked off and went back to his normal routine of walking the halls. LOL I finished up and went into the other room to do the rest of my cardio. This guy just kills me sometimes.  

I’m not even sure how to start this….. I love my mother with all my heart but there are times when I just can’t be around her. She’s so negative,there are so many things in my life that she just wouldn’t help to get through. Like when I came clean to her about being molested for years by a member of our church (another reason why I have a hard time going to church to this day),or when my whole family dogged me when hubby and I were going through a seperation. She puts me down when I lose weight saying I’m to skinny or I look sickly or something along those lines.

The whole time I’m thinking do I really look that bad maybe I should gain some weight. I mean she wouldn’t be saying this if it weren’t true she’s my mom she wouldn’t do that. All the same I feel like crap about myself. 

Then on the flip side when I gained all this weight. She was negative to me again. I’m to big or she is getting some kind of sick joy is being smaller than me. I don’t get it.

Again I go alone and look at myself thinking "what’s wrong with me?" I’m to plain! I’m to big!  I’m sick looking!  All these things eat me up inside. It’s like being a little girl again and thinking I’m nothing,worth nothing.

I know I am and I know I’m worth the change I’m going through. I want to be a positive woman in my little girls life and not walk the path my mother did with me. I want her to be happy with her body and know that I’m behind her all the way to support her and hold her up when she doesn’t have the strength to. And to know if someone would ever dream of hurting her I would kill for her. Not just for my daughter but also my sons. I want them to see a strong mom/woman in their lives to be proud of me. Not pitty me.

I am feeling down right now b/c I just went a whole day yesterday with my family here. It takes me a bit of time to get over this bump in the road. I didn’t even want to go to the gym this morning for cardio but I did go and now I’m glad. I would have just layed around all day feeling bad about myself but I pushed through that and move on.

I’m not coming down on my mom so please don’t think I’m am. SHe’s my mother the woman that gave me life and I love her very much. I just need to get passed the negatives and not let them over take me. I’m worth it and I know I am I just need to keep saying that to myself over and over again until it’s second nature.

First off I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday weekend!

I got to the gym this morning for some cardio.

Elliptical - 15 minutes,hills,fast pace then I moved on over to the precor and did another 25 minutes intervals.  Worked up a nice sweat. Then went to the mats and did some ab work and stretched.

Tomorrow is back and tri’s.
