MGB's Diary: "Clean Your Plate," they said.

[MsGhettoBooty]

So since I've been going to the gym, I pack a cooler the night before of my post workout snacks. Depending on what type of training I'm doing for the day, I try to pack a protein rich snack: 1c 1% cottage cheese with sliced fresh fruit, Sheryl's Ghetto Banana Burrito, Wellements Bavarian Chocolate Whey Protein Powder w/ 1c 1% milk. After leaving the gym I have a tendency to run errands directly after. Instead of starving for a couple hours or buying something to eat that's shitty, it's nice having it on hand.
Today was a good day. I ended up doing a bit of cardio, then worked on my back, shoulders, and biceps. Alexis was there once again to watch over me and to give me pointers. She was cute. She told me that she really thought I was funny and was wondering if I was interested in hanging out some time. I'll definitely take her up on the offer, because I don't know anyone around Binghamton and well, it's nice having a female friend who is a personal trainer. Wohooo! (And if she's a lesbo, then yehaw for me on Temporary Lesbian Days! hahaaaaa jk) So enough BS.... off to today's accomplishments.

Notes: I snacked like hell today, but it's alright. I stayed within my calorie range. I went to the mall earlier this morning and for the first time, I was able to choose a few pairs of jeans and tops and actually fit them. I was doing my infamous ghetto booty dance in the changing room when I got my ass (and no, it wasn't "muffin toppin' " or anything.. haha) into a pair of 11/12 size jeans in one of those Charlotte Russe type of stores. It was huge accomplishment for me! WOOHOOOO! Tomorrow I'll hit that Arc Trainer and hit the weights for chest, triceps, and abs. Goodnight, everyone....

Congrats Sheryl on your hard work and getting in those pants! I can tell that you were super happy about that!

And also there seemed to be something in your daily workout you might have been happy about too *L*

Oh yeah, sounds good, female friends!! Man I wish I was a lesbo right now....the Ex is tryin to get back with me....and I don't know quite what to do yet but I've got all week to figure it out. ANYWAY, how cute, no muffin top and a booty dance. I've been watching a lot of music videos on youtube and Jay Z and Kanye and them just can't seem to get good dancers--they LOOK good, but they just can't dance. What the fizzuhk??? But really, wonderful getting all that ass in them jeans!(and yes that's a song lyric I don't mean to be rude )

You are sooo naughty! Does Sean get involved in TLDs?

- 2 hours of awesome, "holy moly I'm wearing ankles for earrings" kind of sex

Ok, that was almost TMI You horny, purvy slut! Just tell me there was no zucchini involved in all that! I gotta tell ya--Sean would be a damn fool if he ever got rid of you!!

You are too funny, girl! Telling the frat boy what douche he is!!! I would've loved to see his face. You are a fackin' riot!! That gym better watch out...

 

[sunnydee]

I get the distinct impression that university students in the US are pretty different than the ones in Canada. I get the image of frat boys and preppy sorority girls in my head. lol But that's probably just because that's how TV portrays American students. We don't have frat or sorority houses here, THANK GOD. Although I've only met three, I badly hate frat boys. The gym I go to is my university gym and we don't have guys going around being douches. There are a few who walk around like their God's gift to the pussy, but they mind their own business.

 

[AmyRB]

OOooOOoh it'll make my ass tighter? Hmmm.... I won't bitch about that no doubt! Oh... and I swear, you look really good in your myspace pix. Speaking of which, I tried emailing you via myspace, but that damn site is forever undergoing maintanance. Bah... I'll try again before I go to bed. I went to the mall today to take a couple pix of certain things: dark jean capris, leopard print belt, black top.... I ended up buying the dark jean capris, because they're really nice and were only $10! woohoo! Also... a size 11/12! YEHAW! I'll make sure to ask you a few questions also inregards to your makeup, shoes, hair....

Ummm as for the ArcTrainer... hell, I'm not miss fitness here unlike you she who runs freaking hills. hahaa! I'll probably have to start on a lower setting, because I'm not a big fan of having to crawl the day after. LOL!! I'll give it a try tomorrow morning. Once again, thanks, Amy!

-Sheryl

Dark jean capris sounds perfect with a black top. I am horrible at accessorizing so I'll definitely need help with that. I will be Ohio this weekend and they have some great store in Columbius so I'll have a looka round and see what I find.

Do try the ArcTrainer. You may like it more than Ellie. Ask your trainer to show you some exercises on a fitness ball. You can do a full body workout with the ball and weights and it's way more comfortable than the weight benches. They are only $13 and you can do it at home too.

Good luck at the gym today!

 

[Blancita]

Why hello, shexy soon to be doctor lady... thanks for dropping in! This gym's great, because it's one of those types where they don't allow those huge ass body builders who grunt, drop weights, yell to pump themselves, rub balls with one another.. or whatever else they do. (I used to be a part of a 24hr fitness in Hawaii and it was such a damn freak show with men wearing shorts shorter and tighter than women's. Freaky thing is, the fronts were just as flat. HA!) With this gym, you get a mixture of people, so I'm happy. The only problem are the little pervs from Binghamton Uni who believe they're entitled to talk to you and ask you on dates while you're working out.

I hate when men dress like bitches. It really looks so unmasculine, and that's especially sad that the fronts were flat. Personally I like the baggy homeboy look.

What are you doing at the gym for your weights?

 

[niapage]

a size 11/12 Wow I wouls simply pass out lol!
Hope your having a wonderful day Tammy

Not all frat boys are assholes. I had a few frat boy friends in college who were nice. Of course they had their moments, but that's b/c they're men--not b/c they were frat boys..lmao Sends apologies to her harem hotties who are always wonderful reps of the male sex....

 

[bikinibound]

a size 11/12 Wow I wouls simply pass out lol!
Hope your having a wonderful day Tammy

No kidding! an 11/12 is my goal size--maybe a 9/10. But I think I'll faint once I get down to a 13/14 again! lmbo Of course, I'm tall, soo...but still.

Sheryl you is da woman!

Awww thanks, Paul. I have to say... those pants were "bootylicious".. well that's what Sean said before they were torn off and the "workout" went full throttle. HA!

Oh yeah, sounds good, female friends!! Man I wish I was a lesbo right now....the Ex is tryin to get back with me....and I don't know quite what to do yet but I've got all week to figure it out.

HA! You're too funny, Val. Oh and believe me, I listen to JayZ, Mr West, etc... and yes, it's difficult "gettin' all that ass in them jeans," but hey... I won't bitch about it if it turns heads (in a good way), you know? As for the video girls, damn... I thought I was the only one noticing that. For the most part, if they have big asses, small waists and big titties, they'll be perfect for a video... even if they dance like Mariah Carey. HAHAAAA!!!!

You are too funny, girl! Telling the frat boy what douche he is!!! I would've loved to see his face. You are a fackin' riot!! That gym better watch out...

What are you talking about? The little bastard thought I was joking and he just stood there laughing.... I think he realized I wasn't interested when I placed my earphones back into my ears and waved "bye" to him.

Hmmm not all frat and sorority kids are like that. HOWEVER, many of them need a kick in the ass for being spoiled assholes who think the world has to come to a complete stop when they walk into a room. Unfortunately for them, my world hates dumbasses. As for the "God's gift to pussy" comment, that had me laughing hard, girl! hahaaaaa

Alrighty... I sent an email via myspace inregards to shoes, makeup, accessories and hair earlier this morning. Just let me know what you think, girly.

As for the ArcTrainer.... OMFG.. I love that machine!!! I'll do into details about it later on. hahaa Thank you for the advice, Amy! As for a workout ball and weights, yup.. I have that at home also. I'll put those to use when I can't get to the gym when it's snowing like hell during the winter. hahaaa ( I HATE driving in the snow.. sand's so much easier. LOL jk)

 

[MsGhettoBooty]

I hate when men dress like bitches. It really looks so unmasculine, and that's especially sad that the fronts were flat. Personally I like the baggy homeboy look.

What are you doing at the gym for your weights?

Whenever I see dude's wearing really tight spandex shorts, I automatically think they hate the pussy. Girl..... I love me some boys who wear wife beaters with baggy shorts/ pants... OoOOoh dayummm.... I would stop working out just to perv on some of that. LOL

As for weights at the gym here's a pretty quick list:

Lower Body (3 sets, 12-15 reps)
- leg press
- hamstring curl
- leg extension
- calf raises
- abductor/ adductor, but will probably get rid of this and just do squats, because I feel like I'm actually really getting a good workout
- lunges
- glute machine

Back, Shoulders, Biceps (2 sets, 12-15 reps)
- bicep curls (free weights and machine)
- lat pulldown
- lateral raises (free weights)
- row machine
- shoulder press
- military press (free weights)
- open arm bicep curls (free weights)
- Rear delt

Chest, Triceps, Abs and Back (2 sets 12-15 reps)
- chest press (machine and free weights)
- pec fly machine
- tricep extension
- tricep kickbacks (free weights)
- tricep bench dips (bent knee)
- 10 set, 10 rep ab mat routine
- ab curl
- roman chair (3 sets of 10 reps)
- back extension (machine)
- back raises (no weight in hand)

a size 11/12 Wow I wouls simply pass out lol!
Hope your having a wonderful day Tammy

You're already at 185, Tammy... so I'm sure you'll get there soon enough.

And I thought I was the only one who cusses like a [fuckin] sailor. Love it!

Girl please... you're in my diary. It's a censor free zone up in this mutha fucka. hahaaa!!! Honestly, that's the first time I've seen you type "fuckin" ever! LOL! As for visiting the city, my sister's coming in the beginning of November, so we definitely have to drop in. Unfortuatenly, I can't beforehand. Sean's just so tied up with work right now, so we're lucky if we even get a weekend alone, you know? But I do want to meet up with you... even if it's just to run in and give your pretty ass a hug. haha

[Blancita]

LOL. You definitely have me pegged wrong if you think that's the first time I've used fuckin ha ha. Why do think I like hanging around you locas?

That really sounds like an excellent work-out at the gym. How did you come up with your program and learn how to do everything? Maybe you've been doing it a while now?

I'm sure your sis will want to visit the city when she's out here so we'll meet up .

 

[AmyRB]

What's up you sexy biatch! Happy Temporary Lesbian Day!!

I didn't get any messages via myspace. Resend? Thanks so much for your help. Imagine, a grown woman who can't fucking dress herself.

Glad you like the ArcTrainer. Got any nicknames for this one?

 

[DCarr10760]

Hi Blancita!

I'll wave to you from the Bronx tomorrow! I'm going to the Yankee/Redsox game. I go once a year with my friend Dave, who has season tickets.

We were gonna try to get to Manhattan to go to Gallagher's for a steak after the game, but the logistics got too complicated, so we're gonna take the train in and out.

I'm not a big baseball fan, but I do like to go to the park once a year. Should be fun!

David

 

[Blancita]

David that sounds like so much fun. Those Yankees players are so damn fine. I know you're not going for the sexy latin players, but geeze I envy you. There are so many Daves running around. H is also called Dave.

 

[MsGhettoBooty]

Alrighty so today was a great day. AmyRB (here at WLF- check out her diary, because she's awesome) suggested that I try the ArcTrainer instead of the elliptical. I have been working on the elliptical for the past week and a half and have noticed the Arc Trainers to be the least used cardio machine. There are about 12 Arc Trainers at my gym and I would say that in a 2 hour span, I've seen maybe 3 people use them for not more than 20 mins. A bit intimidating don't you think? Ha! So, today I hopped my happy ass on one and let me say this... I freakin' LOVE Arc Trainers!!!!! I thought it was going to be difficult to stand upright, be coordinated, etc... infact it was much easier on my knees and back than the elliptical. Also, my quads, hips, ass, and thighs were alive with twitches. I was amazed at how quickly my heart rate increased and the resistance/ incline makes this machine great for Interval training. I've decided to combine the Arc Trainer and Elliptical for my cardio: MWF- Elliptical, TThSat- Arc Trainer. Once again, thank you so much for the tip Amy! Anyways... let's get on with today's accomplishments.

Workout:

- preworkout stretch/ yoga (5 mins)
- 5 min warm up on Elliptical
- Arc Trainer (IT, Resistance= 50, Incline= 3, Level=6)(40 mins + 5 min cooldown)
- weight training: chest, triceps, abs and back (55 min)
- 5 min cooldown on elliptical
- postworkout stretch (5 mins)

*I normally stretch before and after a workout, but decided to write it down to show the importance of doing so. It really helps to ease tightness that most of us experience the day after a hard workout.

Meals:

Breakfast:
- bowl of 1/2 c halved strawberries and 1 whole sliced nectarine with 1/2c 1% cottage cheese and 1c Kashi Go Lean

Notes: So I received the sweetest rep comment from Steve, you know.. Steve the senior member who gives fantastic advice when it comes to weight training/ nutrition? I've always found him to be quite intimidating and well after emailing him a few times while writing this up, I've come to the conclusion that Steve is fan-freaking-tastic. He's offered his help, which I thought was really cool of him... also, he's pretty damn funny. What I'm trying to say is, if any of you have questions but are too afraid to ask, go to Steve. Also... for all my pervettes out there, not only is he knowledgeable about living a healthy lifestyle, but he's ALSO great freaking eye candy... Hummmanah... hummmanah... (You knew I was going to pull that shit... haha) Goodnight, everyone....

Sheryl, As usual an Awesome job on your daily eating and exercise!

David, I am so jealous . I'd love to go to Yankee Stadium just once. But to go to a Sox/Yankees game to boot ? When I win the lotto friday night I'm gonna do the travel to every stadium in America thing *L*
