Yes beat the boys team x2

Yes won another week of fantasy football. I love making the boys cry haha beat by a girl booyaaa. It is lots of fun to win forget playing the game I want to win! hehe

Natasha's skin looks better still spotted turns out it was from her mumps shot it just a reaction it does not itch and she is not contagious (big sigh of relief). She is not walking on her own yet. I think she will wait till me and Danny are out of town :(. I don't want to miss it, 4 days and we will be cruising. Mom flies in tomorrow morning so we will be up early to go to the airport, that's ok I can not wait to see her. She is bringing me fresh cranberries from my Aunt Ella's bog.

OK enough daily ramble on the fitness note yesterday was awesome I did a strong class one hour of weights and I feel it. My abs, butt, hams, tricepps, back and calves are all hurting, love it. Then I went to spin class, it was hill day oh dreaded hills kicks my butt every time. I am going to do these 2 classes every Tuesday. For today I get to up my run. I tacked my miles yesterday turns out I was running 3.8 when I thought I was doing 3, so today I will do 4.5. OK off to get that run in.

Random thoughts

Ok lots going on where to start....blah blah blah. So my 3 mile run was good today. I had no idea how this would go since Friday was sooo freakin painful. I could not go to the gym because I think Natasha has chicken pox. I called her Dr. and they said since the vaccination is out she can only give it to babies under one. Well, she goes to the one and under room at my gym day care. As for diet I have been taking it easy with the protein carb 6 meals a day. I am getting board with my food choices so I am just watching portion sizes and letting my self keep everything in moderation. The plan is to do this for the week and then we leave for the cruise Sat. When we return me and Danny have a challenge going. It will last till Thanksgiving and we are doing a point system similar to the 4 week challenge on tracker.

I am enjoying my new lifting routine. Its been a few weeks now and I think it has made a difference.

I do 3 sets reps.10, 10 , 8 all to failure 2 exercises per muscle group. I start with the compound sets. like bench press, squats or rows before doing more isolated exercises. I also like to add a super set every other workout I add a set to failure same muscle group different exercise no rest.

:) Yahoo good news

I am super excited x2 so I am posting again. I am going to be an Aunt I am jumping up and down oh I can not wait. My sister in law Sarah is pregnant. Obviously someone is pregnant if I am going to be an Aunt anyway; she does not have any details yet she has a check up Oct. 18th. OK that was the first part of my excitement, second is I found a dress for formal dinner on the cruise ship. That is not even the exciting part, the exciting part is I got a size 5. They had one size 7 and it had a stain I was bummed tried the 5 on for the hell of it. The dress is super cute halter with flair at bottom just past my knees. I went shopping with all intentions of getting a dress any color but black, but it is black I could not help it I love it. Now what to do for shoes hmmm.

No more Marathon :(

I took yesterday off. It was not a run day and I did not want to hurt my leg in spin class or doing lunges. The last run I did was good but after PT I had a bad night. Clint took it easy this time so it would be less likely to flair up at night. I don't know if I got the pain at night from PT or the Mountain climbers I did. Clint said if I keep having good runs then maybe a few more visits and he will be done with me. Well that is not going to happen now. I could not even run 2 miles today. The pain was so bad I was limping. My calves ached and my medial shin felt like it was being rubbed down with glass. I let my self get my hopes up and this sucks. It hurts bad I don't know what he will say about that but looks like I am out of the race. I give up I don't know what else to do. It really killed my mood today, that race meant a lot to me. I was feeling down anyway because my weight is back up to the 130s range. Danny thinks I am crazy he said girls would die to look like me. Its just hard when you get below that and come back up some. It would not be so bad if I had clothes that fit me right. I have not gone out and gotten a decent outfit in years. I think I will be going on this cruise with an empty suit case. Ya that's another thing I have to get my head on straight if I am going to be on the ship in my bikini. Yikes.

Stinky me

No hot water, man its always something around here my hot water tank sprung a leak and they can not fix it till tomorrow. I find this out after getting all stinky at the gym. I woke up at 4am to throbbing pain in my shin, so I iced it. It was still soar this morning so I decided not to cycle, I did upper body benched 105 for 8 reps YES!! My chest was burning up it felt great. I Did back and then my leg felt ok so I ran my 3 miles. The run was better then expected, I knew it would hurt but it was not so bad.

I am feeling fat today which sucks because I am going to meet up with Lori and I was going to let myself have a beer with her but I just feel so big and squishy today. Danny's great he tired to make me feel better before going to work. Well anyway I am off to pack up me and Natasha's stuff so we can meet up with Lori. I have more stuff to tote since I still have to shower. I stink.

update

Just a quick update. ....at PT Clint said that in Oct we might get me to run 5-6 times a week. I am glad he is not giving up on the marathon yet because I am not giving up. I run 3 miles tomorrow will see how the shin feels after that. I also have spin class and some upper body weights to do. Last time I did chest I benched 105, I am going to do it again and see if I can do more then 5 reps.

Natasha is feeling better. Still a little stuffy. She cruises furniture like crazy and I think she will learn to walk while I am out of town. That is just my luck.

On the the up side I beat Danny's ass in fantasy football YES!

My cure???

Ok I went running Monday for the first time since I got my orthodics made. The first 2.5 miles were awesome I think I was smiling must have looked pretty funny to all the people driving by. My pace was faster then it has been lately. The shins started up at 2.5 miles. They were soar I got a chance to ice them once before work. All through work the right leg ached ooh I am so sick of this leg ahhh. Please let the pain be from the tendoniteies that is still healing. I will see what the physical therapist has to say about this today. The cycle endurance class toady was hard for me don't feel like I pushed it hard enough. I had to cut down on my weight workouts to fit in all the endurance training. I miss it but my workouts were all suffering I did not have the energy for two workouts a day.

Lori's last day of school is tomorrow. Yahoo so excited can not believe she done already. Lori is my twin and she just finished at Specs Howards broadcasting school. So, I am off to make her a cake and get some physical therapy on this frigin leg.

Its Mental

I was at the gym this morning and this lady had a workout top on that said "Its Mental". I want that shirt. I say this to myself all the time when I am on a long run 5 miles in and I just want to run home. I remind myself this is the mental part, getting through the mental part is harder for me then the physical stuff. Just have to stick it out, push it further, go the distance it is the only way to improve is to test yourself to jump to the next level. That's my inner thought mumble jumble for toady.

I had to get up at 8am to go my 3 mile run in. It was awesome I love running in the rain its is so peaceful. I got home with just enough time to shot down some egg whites change my soggy clothes and I shoveled down my oatmeal while driving. I was pretty impressed with my ability to drive and eat oatmeal. Anyway I got to the gym with just enough time to get a bike in spin class. It was tough today I could tell I was tired. It was my 4th spin class this week and I am still sore from my lounges early this week. I got my orthodics made today they feel pretty cool, support all across my foot. Clint said this might be my miracle cure. Oh please be my miracle cure, still crossing my fingers. I do another 3 mile run Sunday will see how I do.

My energy was gone by 12pm luckily I got a nap in when Natasha took hers. My real energy saver is Sobe energy SF I feel it which is awesome because I am immune to Red Bull.
I was jumping around the living room (after Sobe)today to some MTV and Natasha thought it was hysterical. Hope she's to young for the smut to warp her brain. Ok I am off to pack for my 16 hour work day.

Just a day..But a good one

I had a super workout at the gym today. I did pull ups and dips before spin class. Luckily the chin up bar was occupied. I went to the machine that assist you when doing pull up. Whatever that's called, anyway I got started I realized not the best exercise when recovering from a tear in the neck, so glad I was not on the pull up bar ouch. Cycle class was great, today was endurance work just what I need if I am going to have a chance to run the marathon. After class I worked chest and back. My meals have been great. I passed up my off day today I am going to save that till I figure out what I really want. Pizza, popcorn, chex mix? hmm I want beer but I swore of alcohol till the cruise.

I have been in an awesome mood all day feels great to have all my work done house is clean grocery shopping is done. I even washed the toilets. Natasha slept till 9am this morning so I got some rest. I do have to pack for tomorrow. I have to go to PT after I do my 3 mile run and my cycle class, so no time to go home first. I get fitted for my orthotics at PT if that helps my pronation I might be able to increase my mileage. I can not wait hope it helps. It is my last hope other wise I will have to drop out of the marathon. Crossing my fingers.

Ahhh vacation whats that?

I can not wait to go on vacation. Its been a while. Me and my husband Danny leave Oct. 1st for the cruise. That was his gift to me for doing the 12 week BFL challeneg. What a guy. We had been on bad terms this moring but we talked before he went to work and I feel better. Its hard to stay on the same page sometimes we never have a day off together and since he has been on evenings all summer we can not even go on a date. It will be the first time we leave Natasha, should be intresting. I can not wait to sit on the deck in the sun.

Its been a laid back day compaerd to yesterday I realy never sat down till 9:30pm. Today I ran my 3 mile run. Both shins hurt not just the right. I still have not iceed them. I did not get to do my LBWO, because Natasha needed a nap when it was time for her gym day care appointment. Looks like I will be lunging around my living when she goes to bed.
Natasha got 5 shots today it was horable. She was so upset she could not breath. This was the worst reaction but then agin she has never had 5 at once and I had to hold her down and Danny did not get to come this time, bummer. I feel bad she has an ear infection a cold and I top her off with shots, plus I left the pacifier in the car. Holy crap how could I forget such a thing. No more shots till she 4 years old thank goodness.
