The workings of a bipolar mind.

I’ve decided to take a full week off from the gym. I was having a hard time getting motivated so it shouldn’t be too hard to skip the gym right? Huh, come Monday, I was itching to go to the gym. Tell me no I can’t do it and of course I want to do it. I’ve kept my diet clean the last 2 days. The only carbs I’m eating is from fruits and vegetables. Eggs and fruit for breakfast, lean protein and veggies for lunch. Veggie and ground turkey soup for dinner……and no chocolate……..at all. Not one kiss, not one hug. Nothing, nada……..it bites!

So on a personal note, I found out today that a former co-worker was killed in a motorcycle accident Saturday night. This was a funny guy, with 2 kids in high school. Very sad day. My son is at his fathers so he’s lucked out. If he were here I’d be glued to his side, hugging and kissing him every 2 seconds. Why does it always take something tragic to make us appreciate what we do have?

I don’t know what it is lately. I’ve been tired and haven’t had much motivation lately. I’m not seeing any results with what I’m doing although I’ve changed it up. I’ve tried eating more, I’ve tried eating less. Things are just at a standstill. I’ve cut down on the sweets (cookies) and still nothing. Ever since I’ve turn 36 my metabolism has just come to a halt. Too much carbs? Not enough carbs? I don’t know.

Didn’t make the gym this weekend but I did get some basketball in with my son. I never realized how hard basketball can be. My whole right side is so sore today. And the cardio, damn! I was huffin and puffin. My son kept calling me old lady and laughing because I couldn’t make a basket. I was finally able to get the ball in the net a few times yesterday but I’m paying for it today. Going to have to start using my left arm to even things out.

Diet was bad as usual. Well maybe not as bad but it wasn’t clean. Today’s a new day.

Tuesday I hit legs. Started warming up with just the bar and squats. Monday (yes, that’s her name) came by to give me shit saying I needed to add weights to it. And of course Roger was sitting there watching me and laughing (her trainer, Monday’s a power lifter and my motivation). I instead of throwing on my usual dimes I threw on some quarters. I’ve been going light weight higher reps and was planning on doing the same this week. I was only able to get 8 reps out, for some reason it felt really heavy. So my workout was 3 sets with 6-10 reps. I was able to hit the leg press again with up to 3 plates and it didn’t bother my back so I’ll be using that again. I was really quite happy. So leg workout was heavier weights, less reps. I noticed when I got in the shower that night that I had broken blood vessels going across my shoulders. I’ve never had that before. Hhmm.

 Back was last night and I went back to my 4 sets, 12 reps and I was able to use a decent weight. Not too light, not too heavy. Just enough to really make me work for those last 4 reps at the end of each set. I may take tonight off and hit shoulders tomorrow, arms on Saturday.

Diet still is off, there have been some chips, cookies and chocolate here and there. I really need to clean it up. No longer dehydrated but I’m up 4lbs.

This one’s from Trixter

 Never Argue with a Woman

One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up, and begins to read her book. The peace and *solitude are magnificent.
**
Along comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma’am. What are you doing?"
*
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, " Isn’t that obvious?").

"You’re in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.

"I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading."
**
"Yes, but I see you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up."
**
"If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
**
"But I haven’t even touched you," says the Game Warden.
**
"That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
***
"Have a nice day ma’am," and he left.
***
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think

The husband had just finished reading a new book entitled, ‘YOU CAN BE
 THE MAN OF YOUR HOUSE’. He stormed to his wife in the kitchen and
 announced, ‘From now on, you need to know that I am the man of this
 house and my word is Law. You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight,
 and when I’m finished eating my meal, you will serve me a sumptuous
 dessert. After dinner, you are going to go upstairs with me and we
 will have the kind of sex that I want. Afterwards, you are going to
 draw me a bath so I can relax. You will wash my back and towel me dry
 and bring me my robe. Then, you will massage my feet and hands. Then
 tomorrow, guess who’s going to dress me and comb my hair?

 The wife replied, ‘The f**kin’ funeral director would be my first guess.’….

To get her ass to the other side before she got hit by a car is my guess. As I was leaving the gym, getting ready to turn. I slowed down so the chicken could get to the sidewalk. I didn’t question it but I did think "hmm chicken sounds good for dinner".

I’m looking for some ladies that would like to try out our White Flood Tablets. They will have to start a blog in the Sponsored Supps section. Post before and after photos, blog you experience. You will have to commit to the full bottle (meaning updates until the bottle is done). If interested please pm me. Thanks!

Friday night was freeway soccer night. I was flowing along around 70 mph when something flew over the SUV in front of me. I remember thinking, "please don’t hit my car" as the thing came sailing right at me. I just missed the damn thing. It bounced in front of my car and sailed right over. It was a frickin soccer ball. Apparently it was bored and wanted to play with the cars on the freeway. This ball bounced right in front of my car and bounced so high that I went right under it without a bump.

Saturday my son tried out for basketball. I’m hoping he gets in. He’s never played before and some of these kids were really good. He took a little bit to warm up to it but after a while he did really well.

And now on to the C5 stuff. Diet has been pretty bad this weekend. Mostly carbs and some sweets. I did hit the gym Saturday for some shoulders and arms and more cardio. I’m so exhausted today, late night but I have to make it to the gym today. I had a white chocolate molten lava cake last night from Chili’s. Damn that was good. Back to my diet today. Hopefully this week will see better results and a cleaner diet. Made my tofu soup so protein will be a plenty this week. I also just ordered a tub of the Blueberries and creme muscle milk. It’s so yummy.
