I had my weekly training session this morning – was really happy with the upper body part of the workout because she worked me hard with dips, bench press, dumbbell flys, over head press, shoulder raises, and bicep curls. My arms were shaking, and it was hard for me to even brush my hair later! BUT… then for lower body she wanted me to do unweighted donkey kicks, hydrants, ballet kicks, etc. WTF??? After the first set, I opted out and did walking lunges to the step up machine, did a set of weighted step ups, and walking lunges back, then appeased her with ball squats against the wall and plie squats, She really thought she was doing me a favor because I have bad knees, but in my opinion, if I can do step ups and lunges, I’m good. IMO, those silly unweighted aerobics moves are for the squishy cardio queens. She is so hit or miss – some weeks are great and others are not. Of course, I’m a bitch and will do whatever I want regardless as to what she tells me. ESPECIALLY when she is going easy on me. I could slack off the whole workout if I wanted, so why am I paying a trainer to motivate me??

Well, I certainly haven’t been slacking off that much – more just slacking off in the whole internet life/blog/updating! I have not been super strict with the diet my any means, but I haven’t really gained much either. Staying right about the same. Just not happy with the same, but I can only blame myself!

One of my latest motivation jump starts – seeing Danzig and Gorgeous Frankenstein last Thursday night. My god. I had no idea Doyle was still so freaking hot. Don’t tell my husband! Hahahahahaha! No really, the man is about 43 years old, and has a bunch of fat free muscle. MUCHO respect. There is no way he maintains that body if he is eating crap, doing drugs and/or drinking. Straight edge baby! Plus, there is just something about that body topped with some skull makeup and a devilock. Yum. I guess I’m a little weird like that. Wanna see a pic? http://www.gorgeousfrankenstein.com/graphics/doyglen.jpg That’s him on the right. Drool.

Anyway, I feel the need to step it up. Been doing about 60 minutes of cardio three-four times a week, as well as doing two full body weight training sessions. I’ll keep that up for a while, but I am in the market for a new trainer – preferably a woman who does figure/fitness/bodybuilding. I have a contract with LA Fitness, so if I could find one through them, that would be best.
