Monday Funday

Feeling better today. What, what?  Stupid strep throat.  That shiz is stoooooooooopid.

Yay, antibiotics!!!  Day 3 and the shit FINALLY kicked in.  I'm not contagious anymore!

Did you catch up yet??  bahahahaha!!!!

This is the 3rd time this year that I've had strep.
 

Seriously, that bitch has been belly up to the bar. -_-

I'm making the courageous decision to change up my workouts (I'm being halfway sarcastic).  Because I didn't have the results I wanted in the last challenge, I decided to listen to people and make my way into the weight room.  I CANNOT justify spending more $$ on another gym, so my only option is to hit that room.  I've decided to do M, W, F weights and T, TH, S classes.  Sunday is rest day (I think) but I'll probably do yoga at the gym.

Here are my fears....

1.  I really LOVE the classes at Warrior.  Cutting down on classes makes me sad.  I don't like to think when working out.  I like to be in the zone.  It's the only time I can fully "check out".  When I am done, I feel truly relaxed and happy.  The trainers are fun, the music is bumpin'.  Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

2.  Cardio classes truly change my brain chemistry...for the better.  It reduces my daily anxiety, my obsessive thoughts, and it evens out my mood.  I haven't felt depressed since starting Warrior.

3.  I am a TERRIBLE creature of habit.  I don't care for change.

4.  I'm afraid I will get fat without the cardio and/or look too cut.  NO, not "too big".  Too cut.  I don't like that shit. 

I like the way the girls on the top look...is that bad?????

Some friends at the gym and I are tracking our calories burned over the next 90 days.  I'm not setting a "goal", I'd just like to see how many I burn in the first 30 and make goals from there.  I love numbers, check off lists, and keeping track of stuff.  I'm a nerdy fucker.

Ev-reh dayum day!

I'm going to start tracking my measurements starting tomorrow.  Here are my current measurements.  After 30 days, with weight lifting, and a reasonable diet.  Let's see.

Hope you had a great day!!!

This is me......a lot!!!! 

Mine would read...hold my drink!

bahahahahaha!!!!!

 ....and

 Good night, stinky feet.

Thursday-meh

Having a "meh" day in terms of fitness/desiring to be fit.  Today I just don't give a shit.  I don't feel like eating anything unhealthy and I don't feel like I need a cheat meal.  I just feel like I need a break from thinking about it.  Sometimes I get so caught up in the gym and fitness that I forget to LIVE.  I forget to realize, we will all die so we better live it up NOW.
 

Just today.  I will care tomorrow.  I think.

Sometimes my FB feed is all gym people talking about gym shit....on days like this...I just need to get off FB and focus on my family.  Sometimes fitness quotes/motivation/pics are ANNOYING!!  lololol!  This coming from ME, the most annoying!  I DO realize the irony.

Word.

Solution?  I'm going to spend the day at the pool, with the sunshine on my face!  I'm going to read a book and turn FB off! 

Heaven!!!

 A few funnies...
 

I walk around in underwear...not naked.  That's bad enough for my poor, poor neighbors!

This makes me crave a Slurpee and realize that I am so happy I don't have a baby anymore!!!

 Daily Odd Compliment.

Have a great day!!!  xoxoxox

Wednesday!

Good morning fabulous people!!

I had such a barfy cardio workout this morning (I definitely did NOT hydrate properly yesterday) followed by an awesome weight workout with my friend Sarah.

4:45-5:45-run the loop 2x (about a half mile) and 10 burpees to warm up, heavy weight (for me 25lbs) in the hot room, run the loop 1x, 5 burpees and a hill sprint, boxing in the hot room for 20 min. or so, run the loop, lunges up the hill.

My polar crapped out within 5 min.  I burned 40 calories!  lolol!

6:00-6:35 After the class, Sarah and I marched our asses into that weight room and did an arm an ab workout that I found on Pinterest.  I thought it was going to be a pussy little workout.  Uh, no!  We both were really challenged!

We did each of these exercises 3x each.  I am already sore!!

 

Crazy bitches working oooooooout!

One of my favorite snacks!!!  Nonfat, plain greek yogurt, raw almonds, honey, strawberries.  FUCKING CRACK!

Nom!

 Trying to eat well but I am not in "90 day mode", I'm in LIFE mode.  

Matt and I were at a party the other day and someone said to him, "Andi must be so much fun to live with."  I think he almost spit out his beer as he graciously answered, "She's a LOT of fun."  OMGEEEEEE!!!!  We laugh a lot of the time but think about it.....I'm a fucking NIGHTMARE, people.  Just ask my family and close friends.  I'm wildly emotional and passionate (good and bad), I'm a tad insecure, I'm controlling, stubborn as hell, and I can be a fucking ASSHOLE!

I always think that I NEVER cry.  Matt says.........you cry ALL THE TIME!

Matt is the kinder spouse however, he is distant at times, highly unemotional, extremely absent minded, he's a mini hoarder (piles of shit, I tell you), and.....dare I say it?  Passive mother-effing-aggressive.  

So you see?  Perfect match.  I guess my point is, don't idealize other people or their lives.  We all have shit that nobody sees.  We wouldn't have friends if we put it all out there.  We just find someone with their own fucked up shit that matches or balances out our fucked up shit and then we enjoy the fucked-upedness together or at least until someone has had enough and calls it quits.

Matt is an asshole lover!  baaaaaaaaahahahahahaaaaaa!

 

 On an unrelated note, I think I'm becoming a drag queen.

Seriously, my make up is out of fucking control.  I can't stop.  The older I get, the more I slap that shit on!

 

On the inside joke tip.......unfuck yourselves and touch yourself often.

Tuesday......I love summer.i

Yesterday I said I was going to sleep in and go to the gym at 8:30.   Yeah...that didn't happen.  So today I set my alarm for 4am.  I figured why not?!  Get the shit over with early in the morning.

And after class, I did 15 S-L-O-W minutes on the stair climber, trying to tone this ass and these legs.  Then....gasp....I did machines.  I did the porn machine, the hamstring machine, the sit down, pushy legs machine, and then I worked quads, bro.  Killed it....just kidding, I looked like a total douche.
 

This is the porn machine.  Every time I'm on it, I want to start making sex/orgasm noises (a la "When Harry Met Sally) just to make people uncomfortable.

Today I shall figure out what the hell to do for abs and arms (for tomorrow).  Is that even a thing?  Abs and arms?  Imma work on that.  I cannot express to you how fucking uncomfortable I feel in the weight room.

I'm going to check out some yoga next week.  But I'm thinking I PAY for my gym...do I really have enough expendable cash to go whore around at other gyms???  I dunno?  Gotta crunch the numbers.

 I know people are TRYING to help but if I hear, "You need to eat more, I'm going to fucking lose my mind."   I am trying my best.  Part of me doesn't buy it.  I ate 1,400-1,800 calories a day and worked out like a BEAST.....I lost 4 pounds, all muscle.  I don't get it?  MORE???  Fuck that.  Eating is not my job.

I actually want people to tell me to eat less.

As for summer living, I've been a complete LAZY fuck.  I have a PILE of laundry I should be doing.  Yeah....I'll get right on that.....after 10 hours of the FIFA World Cup.

I'll catch you on the flip side, hookerzzzzzz.

I get that a lot.  You are SUCH a lay-day!

 

Boom!

So What's Next?

Yay, summerrrrrr!  Booooo, we have NO money.  And by no money, I mean we have fucking NO money until payday.  We have PLENTY of food in the house.  I just need to stretch it.  I can still make healthy meals....ish.
 

It is REAL, my friends.

Here is a website that I found.  You enter what you have in the pantry and it will give you recipes.  SHUT.  THE.  FUCK.  UP.  I am more excited about this than you can imagine. My Fridge Food

The challenge is over.  I didn't do well.  I got upset.  I had some margaritas.  I'm over it.  So now what?  THAT, my friends, is the question.

 I've just been here pondering where I want to go from here.  I didn't reach my goal of rock hard abs and I realized that abs take a lot more "diet" than I'm willing to give at this point.  I don't want abs more than I want say......salt.  I do not enjoy extreme dieting and I like my body enough to say....I'm OK with a little belly if I can have some salt and extra virgin olive oil....shit like that to make my food taste yummy.  I want to continue to be active, to be an athlete, but I also want to eat real food.  Let's face it, I'm NOT entering any fitness competitions and I'll never be a model....so I'm good!

So fitness goals?  I feel like I need some....
1.  Stay between 130-135lbs.  
(This is a good strong weight for me.  I'm sturdy here.  My clothing fits well and I stay in a healthy mindset.  Anything in the 120's and I start getting crazy with the numbers).

2.  Diversify my workouts without spending a ton of money.  
My gym is great but it is a very specific workout.  It is amazing for losing fat.  To retain muscle however, I need to do different things.  I have an EXTREME dislike for weights and the weight room.  As I'm not a fan of super ripped looking bods, lean or not, I don't feel this is the best option.  I truly can not choke down enough healthy food/calories to sustain muscle with constant cardio workouts.

3.  Continue to work on my confidence and inner happiness.  My focus needs to be on health and healthy living.  So.....yoga??  I mean, I'm not going to become some hippie dippie yoga freak who suddenly is a huggy, huggy with the world but maybe a little yoga and learning to focus my energy would be good.  Plus, I love me a yoga/dancer's body.  Lord knows I need help with my poor posture and I feel like yoga will help my back.

PROBLEM:  $$ and time.  I don't think yoga at home will be a good option because there are too many distractions here.  I can't get all zen when I notice that my house is a fucking sty.  I'll just end up cranky and want to beat the snot out of my family.
 

Pick up your piles of shit!

 So it's summer and I have nothing but time to reflect, workout, hang with my family, and work on my lesson plans for next year.  Life is good......even when you have no cash.  I'm going to cook more, try new recipes and get ready to rock Kindergarten at my new school.



A few thoughts....

I drop that shit like it's hot.

This is great advice!
