Ugh

Reminder to self....
Don't eat a big dinner, then do a high full body workout. Just because on the video they make it look easy. So you confirm to yourself "yep I'm going through this twice. "

The end result is instead of an after workout glow, its a pale clammy sweat, in which one can visibly see me swallowing back my food.

And tomorrow morning I already confirmed doing an insanity workout. All I can think is "WHY?"

My butt and thighs better be banging after all this brutality.

I just don't look like that....

Remember this picture I posted? I was talking about learning to love running.
Well I still like to run. But check out this girl...She still looks normal.
She doesn't look red in the face, or like she is sweating her face off.
I just don't look like this when I work out.

Please see exhibit A through C Exhibit A: I am rather sweaty, and my hair is a glorious mess.
Exhibit B: This is right after I ran 2 miles for the first time.

Note the red face, and sweat running off my face.
Exhibit C: This however makes it all worth it. I love my guns.
I guess you could say I'm proud of them.

I'm learning

I'm learning how to love Running. There is nothing better then the way you feel after a hard run.

It may sound funny, but sweating is refreshing. For my family and friends this is a shock. I have never liked running. But I'm giving it a chance, and it's grown on me.

I love running.

blisters, layed off and everything in between

Yesterday, for reasons unknown to myself. I decided to run 1.2 miles on the treadmill.

This is the first cardio I've done since last summer.

Lifting weights doesn't count as cardio.... I know because I asked.

After I ran, I felt good, I felt like "hey, maybe I will like running."

Then I took my shoes off, and found those blisters. I have matching ones on both feet.

They are huge and filled with crap.

Today I'm going to drain them.

Today I probably won't be running another mile....

If I do, someone please have me checked out. I must be sick.

On a random note.... I was told I have 2 weeks before I'm layed off until Spring or Summer, when work picks back up. Or if I would like, to find another job.

Ha ha ha, the funny crap just keeps coming.

Find another job in 2 weeks..... yeah right.

I've been looking for months and haven't found anything!

Well wish me luck... with all of the above.

Reason for everything

I started working out yesterday.
It felt good. I felt really good afterwards.

I'm starting small, just riding my bike working up a sweat and getting my heart rate up.
Then I do 250 abs.

Yesterday I was thinking of a reason to work out you know my "Motivation"
I thought I would like to be "rocked out" again like I was in college.
Look good for bathing suit season.

But today the reason became all too clear.

I'm working out and gaining my muscle back to beat the shit out of a certain low life somebody.
It's all so clear to me know.

Bring on the cardio and weights, this homegirl is getting back what I let go.
Then I'm going to physically claim back everything he ever took from me.

I can't wait for his sorry ass to come visiting.

Plans to Shred

Have you heard of the 30 day shred?
I've been reading about it for a couple days, it sounds pretty hard core you are sore for days after this program.
Which is what my jiggly butt needs right now. And it was also brought to my attention how flabby my arms look lately.... They aren't just ask the person I punched for saying that, but still it wouldn't hurt to have more definition.

I believe I will make a mad dash to Target to get this DVD and the other necessary items.
My only worry is will I have enough motivation to do this when I get time. Time? Will I have enough time in the day to fit this in on top of all my other activities?

Tomorrow we are scheduled for another track meet, the weather is calling for snow. I'm hoping the weather is wrong.

Did you know this weekend is Mother's Day?
I did, but I won't be able to call home to My Mother, because I'll be on a boat with several other people, praying not to go over board into the rapidly moving and very COLD water.
I'm going white water rafting.
Yes I said White Water Rafting!
But why You ask?
Well, this is the Seniors class trip and they asked me to be a supervisor.
I'm excited, but also scared.
The water is like so so cold, if I fall in I will die from cold water shock, if I go overboard, I told some of the seniors I'm taking them in with me.... I'm not going down alone!

We are headed down on Sunday Morning, bright and early and we get back sometime that night.
I will report back on Monday, just to let you know I survived.
