Thank you.

Not feeling so fantastic today. TOM has begun kicking my ass, starting with throwing on a bunch of weight. :banghead: I know I was a bit naughty over the weekend, and I've been fighting the 'python woman' urges (unhinge the jaw and tilt back the fridge)… but I'm still a bit bummed out.

Yeah, yeah, I know…:nopity:

I haven't been slacking off on my workouts, but I guess I'd better ramp 'em up a bit.
 
Hahahaha I love that visual!! my ladytime came too...I've had muffins, cookies, banana bread...naughty naughty!
 
I heard through the grapevine... no pun or inuendo intended ;) that you know how to weld, and like to make steel sculptures and what not.... VERY Cool!!!

Did you switch over to more weight training yet? Hope all is going well for you. :)

I've been going through the welding program at the local JC for the past few years. Its a lot of fun. Before that I was taking the metal arts classes at another local JC, and we did a lot of iron casting. I'm fascinated with blacksmithing, metal shaping, molten metal, fire, that type of thing.

Today's workout will involve weights since I'm not feeling like the bloated crampy wreck I've been for the past few days. I am going to say 'what the fuck' and join that gym I've been raving about, either tomorrow or next week. Before the end of the month so I don't have to pay the enrollment fee.

Fortunately for my piece of mind the weight gain was temporary and things look more back to where they should be. I try not to have the scale menality… rather I use the numbers on the scale as a tool to make sure I'm on the right track or not. That and the way the clothes fit. The jeans were just a bit on the snug side yesterday and it freaked me out.

Wow… California has been having some lovely weather the past week or so. Literally in the 70s for a couple days. Then yesterday it started getting cold and rainy again, so we're back to winter weather. I know we desperately need the rain, so I'm not going to complain about that. I just miss the sunny warm weather we'd been having. The way its been the past week or so was a lot like Spring, which is my favorite time of year. Late spring, early summer.

Ok, gotta go work on my resumé.
 
Fire Fire!!! Burn Burn... Ah good old Bevis and Butthead...lol
Yea it's been fantastic around here weather wise, but getting colder now. Had to start wear a turtle neck on when running at lunch today. But your right we do need the rain.

Yea stay away from 24 hour, it's total sleze balls unless you go late at night, then it tends to be ok.
You should go for becoming a trainer, if you put just 30% as much effort into it as you have in your weight loss you'll be in high demand in no time!
You're doing great as always (I think we just come to expect it from you now though :)
 
Today's official 'weigh in' put me back to 158, and that's fine by me.

I didn't get my weight workout in yesterday, but instead just focused on doing a ot of belly dance type isolations on the midsection to help alleviate the cramps. A lot of this was done while I was doing the dishes. Kept me from getting too pissy about feeling like June Cleaver. :ack2:

I went ahead and joined Diablo Rock Gym today. Got in a really good workout too. Did 20 minutes on the treadmill for warm up, then worked the weights. Focused mainly on legs, but did some abs, chest and back too. Figured I can do arms & shoulders tomorrow.

I hit the steam room for a bit again. Ahhhhhh…man that feels SO good.

I'm taking a rock climbing basics class on Tuesday. Before that i need to take the intro class so I can learn about belaying and the right way to tie off the ropes.

Tie off the ropes… that phrase just brought a big grin to my face. :reddevil:

Had the Sushi Attack hit me so I tried a new Sushi place for lunch today. They make the BEST California roll I've ever had. I only tried it because they have one made with real crab instead of that fake crap. They also had the best miso soup I've tried to date.

Greg, are you in the bay area? Just curious.

And you're right about 24 hour. I've heard things about that place. The nearest one to me is located in a mall, of all things. A mall! Or as I like to call it… the Maul. I hate mauls.

The funny thing about the placement of this one in an ironic way, is that it is located upstairs, and one of the stores located directly below it is Torrid. For those that don't know, Torrid is a Hot Topic for plus sized gals. I used to shop there quite a bit, but their smallest size is a 12, and I'm a 6-8 these days. Still, they have some cool jewelry & stuff in there.

Yeah, and no pressure or anything! :biggrinjester:

Well since I got dimed out, I better break my lurker mode. I watched Marijuana Inc. on CNBC last night. I wanna move out to Mendocino County. Feet up in exile with all that great looking bud. yum yum yum. Nice life, NorCal'ers <jealousy insert>

I reckon a maryjane med card isn't heavy work to obtain...

Anyway, just in here to read up on ya because you're so effen cool.

Peace, now.
 
PZ is from Ukiah. He has a card. Enough said. Well, let me know if you want to visit, Trainwreck and AK47 up the Yin Yang and all LEGAL :sifone: ChickaBLAPS! :cool:
 
Not to hijack but I was astounded when the one cafe/coffee shop paid a combined 1,000,000 in fed, state and local taxes. Seriously, now there's a strong case for legalization - then factor in the 10 Billion dollar reversal for enforcement. It's just win-win.
 
US government just can't properly regulate it, so they keep it somewhat illegal. Go Cali! :sifone: Honestly though I don't smoke much at all--hurts my lungs that I need for running, makes me lazy when I need to get my shit done, and gives me munchies that I don't need because I already have a good appetite. But I'm a fan!
 
You nailed it, Val. No disputing any of that. I couldn't actually go back to my 70's-80's way of stoning, too, but dammit, it'd be sweet to have a nice nug laying around when the mood strikes me for a lil slitted-eye adventure. I still like that.

Hey Keri, good to hear you're going to get involved with the rock climbing genre!!! "Tying off the ropes" ... yeah, that's a pretty good one! :reddevil:

I absolutely LOVE Japanese food, but my favorite is miso soup and sashimi. I'm not much for the sushi, because the rice is loaded with carbs -- since I have to count my carbs, I prefer to get them from sources other than starch ;)

And all you stoners ... G's ... I've never done drugs, so I really can't relate to what you're talking about :p

Although I've had some pretty good pharmaceuticals in my day :D

That would "legal" pharmaceuticals, and only because I needed the freaking things :p

Seriously, I'm of the philosophy that any drug has the potential to change my biochemical balance. I don't like fucking around with my system. It's fucked up enough without adding insult to injury :D

Yeah, that's definitely the stoner province in Canada ;)

I have a degree in organic chem, so I can pretty much make anything you want, bro ;) Including toxins :reddevil:
