Has anyone else noticed that this contest has increased the number of profile pic changes? I mean there are some really beautiful people on BB.com, but I had NO CLUE that there were so many. They are coming out the woodwork. I give you all mad props. I am going back to “Insert picture here.” LOL

My Hump Day

Short version for those that don’t have time for details.

-         No gym

-         Horrible Diet

-         No cardio

-         Very stressed

-         Have a nice day

Now if you have time, you can read the below.

It is funny how people influence you at a subconscious level. As I review my Wednesday, the great author and BB friend ShanBL came to mind. Her ability to expand on topics in a Seinfeld manner is unmatched in the blog world. So in her honor, I give you… Hump Day Vent

Ok, so I kicked it hard this weekend. Went out Friday & Saturday night. Ate late, and had the dreaded pizza both days. This morning I got on the scale and was force to see the fruits of my labor….. 237.8 lbs. PAINFUL indeed. So I believe I have it all out my system. Sunday I was committed to the "Unwrap your abs for Christmas" challenge. 

 Day one I did my long cardio. 50 minutes with 4.5 miles, 700 calories burned. Diet had been good, so I am feeling good  about moving forward.  Tomorrow will be upper body and some cardio.

 Hope everyone had a great weekend. Shannon, I will save the link to the Steeler posing gear. I am sure you will want it soon:-)

Had a crazy day at work. Had to abbreviate my leg workout.  What I did was listed below.

5 min warmup on the treadmill (0.57 miles, 111.8 calories)

Leg extensions - 3 sets (Double legs 177lbs, single legs - 66 lbs, 10 reps)

Leg Press / Calf Raises - 3 sets 10 reps LP (540lbs, 630 lbs, & 720 lbs) / 20 reps (same weight amounts)

Squat - 3 sets (315 lbs - 10 reps)

Then I had to bounce. Diet was not to bad.

Protein shake w/ oatmeal

Oatmeal w/ raisins

Madarin Chicken Salad

Apple

Chunky Sirloin Steak & veg soup

 I know too much sodium, but it is what it is. Hump day indeed. Catch you all tomorrow.

Ok, So I am back in the swing of things after fighting off the dreaded flu bug. Sunday I went to the gym and upper body. I added in a few extra exercises and did some supersets. Let me tell ya, it felt GOOD!!!! Of course when I woke up yesterday the mild soreness gave me a rush.

Yesterday I barely made it through a 20 minute HIIT session. My goal is 20 minutes 2 miles. I was worried I wouldn’t make it, but I did. Yea!!!

Today I will do 40 minutes of cardio in an effort to get down 3 lbs by the weekend. I have also located some aerobic tapes I use to use. I may pop on of those in this evening.

As for my diet….

Breakfast – 2 eggs w/ salmon & ¼ cup of cheddar.

Meal 2 will be ON Protein Shake with oatmeal

Hoping everyone is having a Terrific Tuesday!

So I know it’s been awhile since I wrote anything. Hell it feels like forever since I been in the gym. All around me people were catching this flu bug, and I fought for 3 weeks. It hit me hard this week. Started with the aches and chills. Moved to the sore throat, now I got the dry cough and no wind. I almost had to double over after walking up 3 flights of steps. Amazing how one week can change things completely. 

To top that off, I haven’t made it to the grocery store, so I had pizza for lunch. I know… SHAME ON ME!!! Now I want to go lay down again. I feel the weight growing on me. 

Tomorrow I will get off my lazy azz and get started again. 6 days on, 1 day off. Depending on my wind, I may try a few two-a-days. We will see. Until then I will continue to be the lazy one. I have already caught up on all my shows, now I am watching football. Ah… Weekends in the fall. Gotta love it! 

 Hope everyone is having a great week. 

So feeding off yesterdays inspiration, I got my sleep a$$ up and hit the gym. I got there, still had sleep in my eyes, but I did 2.25 miles in a HIIT session. I will say I am awake here at work now. It will be interesting to see how I feel about 3 pm. Mr. Sandman may start swinging.

So we have 3.5 weeks until Election Day. I can already feel the circus starting to crank up. Are you glad we have the gym, treadmill, open pavement, free weights, and machines as a refuge?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Ok, so I am in a rut. I’d been stuck between that 232-234 lbs. range for about a month now. I have been battling the 8:30 – 9:30 munchies monster for the past 3 weeks and losing bad. Yesterday I was chatting with my BB.com friends, Lisa, Shannon, Sparkie, & KLTexas and realized I needed to pick up my intensity. So I woke up to a very intense core workout. Abs are on fire Lisa. I am trying to have a good ab dayJ

I plan on getting 3 miles in at lunch today and waking up tomorrow and hitting legs. Goal for October will be to focus on the diet and core. Until I get my BF % analyst, I will not put any numeric goals out there. So hopefully in a couple weeks I will be ready to put some number with it. 

Hope everyone is ready for this hump day! I sure am. Thanks again to my peeps for showing me the way!
