Today was just cardio, and I let my imagination go to work. Dawn of the Dead Zombies chasing me, zombie dogs from Resident Evil and I wasn’t running alone. there were people running beside me, like Kimberly, Shannon, Al,Sheila, Alissa, Ryan, Janthony, Veronique, Mike, Brad were all running too trying to leave me in their dust.

Shannon kept saying in my head "I don’t have to outrun the zombies, I just have to outrun you!" Of course there was pushing and shoving and tripping going on but I kept running, just jumped over some of them when they fell, ROFLMAO!

Today was just cardio. I’m feeling lots better and can’t wait to hit weights 4x next week and do my cardio, though I’m hoping to be at The Arnold for all day Saturday with my Buffmom buds so it might be my workout.

Today I did sprint intervals on my treadmill for 5minutes

One day my sprints at 10mph I will not feel like I’m going to splat on the concrete wall behind me, I still remember when 7mph use to kill me now it seems like walking and 7.5mph is feeling easy.

I also did Hill walking on my treadmill for 25minutes. Nothing like hills to help the butt firm up!

This weekend and next will be jammed packed. This weekend will all be about my kiddo; karate, cub scouts, friends birthday party, last wrestling tournament, next weekend, The arnold Saturday with my friends, and The Arnold Sunday with my family.

The weather went from the 50s to the 30s today, winter just needs to leave and let Spring make her way already!

Lost the tv show is one of my obsessions. 

Why do I watch that show. I mean its weirder sometimes than a Twilight show and Outer Limits combined sometimes. Yet I watch it. Maybe I’m bored.

I don’t know. I miss The Twilight Show, they use to show it on PBS when I was little. Anyhow I’m lost watching lost, the only thing that will safe me is when ABC cancels it probably.

Its in the 50s here. I come out of my shell in warm weather. Yes I haven’t been my full fun loving self yet, hard to believe. I’m definitely a warm weather person, winter makes me like Oscar the Grouch.

I worked out today, woohoo I’m on a roll on the mend from that nasty crud I had.

Next week I go to the Arnold and hook up with some of my friends from another site I belong too. We’re all Buffmoms so we understand each other. I have had friends who roll their eyes when I obsess about squatting more weight, trying to run faster etc. Its nice to have friends who understand my obsession with fitness too.

Having my ass look as good as possible is another obsession. I’m an ass girl, want mine to look far better naked than it does, and love to watch guy’s butts. My hubby’s butt is one of the many things that first caught my attention, lol.

Hopefully by the end of the year my ass will look even better naked than it does, it no longer reminds me of the old man’s ass from that episode of Sex and City(an old obsession) you know the one where Samantha is going to try and sleep with a guy in his 70s until he walks naked towards the bathroom and she’s gets a gander at his flabby, saggy wrinkly 70 year old butt? Well mine has improved finally!

My dog is in awesome shape??? Why? Because I control her food. She gets nothing extra only her 2 meals a day, she’s a big dog, thus the 2 meals. I throw her outside for an hour of play time. Her life is totally controlled by me and she is a prime specimen of physical shape.

Why then do I struggle with my own food? Can’t someone decide how much I should eat a day and what it will be and give it to me where I have no input on it at all??? I know, I should rule myself with an iron fist but sometimes I don’t, I need to start thinking of myself as my owner and I’m the pet.

Will I be a good owner? And feed me only healthy things or a bad one that feeds me fatty foods? Will I be a good pet? And eat the healthy things and not bitch and moan that my family is eating something I really want but know I shouldn’t have?(can you say pizza or chilli fries) Will I not use my opposable thumbs and open the fridge when my owner is playing on the computer??

But I was a good owner so far today with eats and play time otherwise known as working out.

I was watching Biggest Loser and laughing last night at their reactions to changing trainers. I thought it was excellent because they need to learn how to rely on themselves and not become dependent on a trainer.

I fast forwarded thru a lot of the boo hoo stuff, I love, love my tivo. Also watched the cattiness of REal Housewives of Orange County. Nothing like rich women going at each other, I was waiting on Steve from Jerry Springer to come out(in my defense my parents watched it! I was forced too, one tv.)

Not my usual try and kill myself workout, still got the head congestion and darn ringing in my ears. Maybe I have a cell phone implanted in my brain and thus the ringing, whatever it is its annoying

Last night was chaos at my childs wrestling practice. I wanted to discipline other peoples children because they weren’t doing it, too busy texting, reading, yakking not watching their kiddos thus the acting out, bulliness, lazyiness, stupidity you name it. But alas I kept my hands to myself and seethed.

Today I worked the legs and did some cardio

This week going to listen to my body, next week back to killing my body. I tell ya this cold medicine makes me watch strange things(Barb Wire) and think strange things(like why exactly are the legs and thighs of a chicken fattier than the breast?) See strange ponderings.

Like why do I get some weird pms when my pics are me in my swim suit standing??? I could understand if I was splayed on the stairs showing my ham sandwich as Shannon talked about a couple days ago.

Tonight we hook up with the accountant dude who will hopefully say Uncle Sam owes us money and not the other way around. So I’m hoping for awesome news from him.

or so I hope.

Anyhow I was smug about not getting the illness that has been running rapid in my house for 3 weeks, last Sunday it got me: head congestion, ringing ears, dizziness, fever, chest congetstion, so I took a week off of working out. Today no fever, no chest congestion, no body aches, no dizziness, just occasional ear ringing and still have some head congestion.

While ill I watched Barb Wire. I know, I know, why? Well I blame the cold meds, plain and simple. But thanks to me watching it I now have the darn song Word up stuck in my head. I hate that. You know when you’re trying to go to sleep and your mind starts singing a stupid song, or is that just me??

Dah pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you,
So tell all the boys and girls.
Tell your brother, your sister
And mama too, cause they’re
About to go down
And you’ll know just what to do.

Wave your hands in the air
Like you don’t care, glide by
The People as they start to look and stare.
Do you dance, do your dance quick
Mama, come on baby, tell me what’s
The Word, ah – word up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway,
Word up, it’s the code word,
No matter where you say it,
You’ll know that you’ll be heard.

Also got pulled over today. Serves me right for being smug about having not been pulled over in 12 years. He was waiting at a bottom of a hill when I came down it, wasn’t that nice of him? I got off with a warning thankfully. Funny thing is last time I got a ticket it was for the same thing, but a different road and hill.

This is my 3rd time trying to blog.

Ok I’ve been a workout machine for over a month, I’ve eaten clean 85 to 90% of the time and within one week I’ve went up 9lbs??? WTF? I mean hello, if I’m going to gain that much weight it should be from eating cookies, candy, pies galore not healthy food. I"m so frustrated. Funny thing is my clothes are loose, I would think they would be tight gaining 9lbs.

I have a feeling by thyroid is out of whack or maybe I’m sleep eating. I watched a special on that once, but unless I’m also buying food to replace the food I’m sleep eating then no. Thinking maybe I’m not eating enough for the amount of workouts I do so I’m switching that.

I’m not going to stress too much, like I said my clothes are actually looser and my naked butt has loss some cellulite. UGH! Ok enough ranting

Had to take my kiddo to the ENT doctor and then we met up with my hubby for lunch at Applebees

Food so far: egg whites,egg yolk, salsa, turkey sausage, sirloin, mixed veggies,

I should buy some chickens, I eat so many egg whites its ridiculious I should be growing gills from the tuna and laying eggs from the chicken.

I’m actually down an inch in my hips and quads, which is awesome! Up 1/2 inch on the chest. Nothing on the waist, I’m currently at 26 1/2 inches and I’m not sure if I can lean out there anymore. My shoulders and biceps and triceps all gained! I"m going to be showing off my back and arms at the pool this summer.

Its leaving Ohio that’s for sure. Winds that knocked down powerlines, went from 54 to 32 in like an hour it seems. I know its still February, but darn when you have several days of 60 degree weather you start thinking spring is coming, then wham!

Anyhow I did:30min fasted intervals on ellpictical

30min ss cardio in my fat suit on my treadmill

I’ve become obsessed with making my miles rack up on the treadmill. So I’m trying to get some treadmill time each day.

Today was a Valentines party at my childs school. Its so cute watching them give each other valentines.

suppose to stay cold now, hopefully no snow.

my hamstring and glutes hurt!! Which is fine. Its 66 here but raining, but rain I can live with its snow I hate.

Been working on some programs to organize contacts for my husband. Had great fun, making up fake contacts with his friends names making them all women, with weird company names. Its just a test to see which program will work better for him, so no real harm, but man it made be laugh. Bill became Willemenia, Steve became STevania. Victor became Victoria. ROFL

30min ss cardio on rbike watching Las Vegas. Should be called the Boobie show. LOL

or in this case deadlifts. Today was leg day, I love, love, love leg day, I feel so strong. Like if someone pissed me off irregardless of how big or small they were I could literally kick them into the wall. Not that I would, but I must admit I have thought about it a couple times.

Started out with fasted cardio. Was reading about Jenn Hendershot and what she does to prepare, whew, and I thought I worked it hard, those girls who compete work 2x as hard as me.

Its so nice here, well its raining but, its 58 degrees, woohoo!!!! HOpefully the Arnold will be nice when my out of state internet friends get here. Maybe next year I’ll try the 5k. I’m going to try more sprinting to burn some fat off my lower half.

I have muscles, my legs are strong, just have to get rid of the fat hanging on for dear life, oh the joys of being a pear.

I have to say I use to belong to MySpace but had so many weirdos; male and females coming on to me with some very werid propisitions that I deleted my account there. so far Bodyspace had rocked, no weird pms just encouraging comments.

I have an account on facebook, no weird pictures, you know where I’m half naked, lol, anyhow I’m starting to get friend request from various countries, various sexes, I’m hoping they are just wanting to be friends and do not have other ideas. MySpace got uber creepy I had a lesbian stalker who wanted to look me up.

That’s what I’m thinking this week, so switching up my workout schedule and what I do.

Today I did p90x Plyometrics which is 60minutes

And I also did CF WOD Cindy. I thought about doing Mary but was leary of how well I could do handstand pushups and I chickened out. Yes I’m a chicken, its no wonder with all the chicken I eat that I would start turning into one.

I’m eating Chicken of the Sea right now, though not actual chicken it has chicken in the name. LOL.

Last night my cave woman came out and devoured, yes I said devoured a big old ribeye at Tumbleweed. I think my waitress might have been a little scared when I cleaned my plate.

I could never be a vegetarrian I like meat too much, I believe I would go stark raving mad and would be chasing a cow thru the field if I tried to be a vegetarrian. I’d be the looney lady featured on the news, my own version of Mad Cows disease.

I’m amazed at the people who do go vegettarian, I believe I’d get tied of soy(eww) tofu(eww) and protein powder. But that’s just me. We have a friend who likes meat but he likes still mooing, nice and rare, I really don’t want to have to chase my food and rekill it, I like cooked and ready to go and just watching him eat sometimes makes me think of vampires.

So tommorow will be legs and depending on how I feel maybe some crossfit, I’m living it up.
