Starting Over

[AmyRB]

I have to agree with Cannon on this statement

I work all day, then around 4:00 pm, I gaze out my office window and go, UMMMM do I want to change and go to the gym, or just go home. Of course gym usually rules out going home, but don't think for two seconds that I don't at least 3 times a week, try and talk myself into doing something other than going. LOL LOL I just know if I don't I won't ever see results, and that bothers me. But, once I get there like you and Cannon, I'm so happy at what I did, I thank myself as I'm driving home listening to XM radio and the oldies. LOL LOL Okay, I also like to listen to Oprah and Friends, but it depends on who's talking, sometimes you just have to have your rock fix. Depends on my mood, and since the entire time I'm at the gym I have my head set on rocking out, I usually just want some nice quiet talk radio or news. BORING right. LOL LOL

Well, girlfriend I'm proud of your determination and getting your butt working out and eating so good, your a GO GETTER there is no doubt about it.
Hugs to you, Your going to BUST the weigh in on Friday, OH YEAH! I can feel it!

Geez, I hope I see a loss this week. I'm not expecting to though. Best to be pleasantly surprised!

I too rock out at the gym on my ipod.I get lost in the music and the next thing I know I have already gone 35 minutes on the ArcTrainer for my warmup and I'm pumped for the weight training! I listen to classical music on the way home to wind down. If I don't then I'll never get to sleep!

Cant wait to hear what happens Amy. Hoping good things come of this.. This stuff BETTER work!

I SHOULD know something today.

Happy TLD to my Arkansan hot mama!!!

I hope things go well with the new meds today.

Ha! Happy TLD!!!! SOaping up any boobies today?

Yesterday: Calories: 1835, Fiber 33g

Not too shabby. My workout consisted of cooking, cleaning, chasing my daughter around and putting out the big fire "I" apparently (according to my husband) started in my kitchen. I now have to shop around for new countertops. Oh well, we were planning on replacing them in a few months anyways.

I will be at the gym tonight for my usual Wed. night workout. I start Brazilian Ju Jitsu (spelling?) on friday. I then plan to get some running in at the Big Dam Bridge. I have a half marathon in March I need to get ready for and my two running buddies just announced they are pregnant so I will be going it alone. I'm used to being a one woman show!

 

[Happychubette]

That's great you're training for a marathon (was it a half-marathon?). You will lose the weight for sure with that. I'm training for a 5k and then a 10k.

 

[Miss Ladybug]

WOW a marathon, I should look into one of those myself, it might help perk me up on the running front a little, I'm trying a few days a week to stick with the running on the indoor track, but it's my least favorite thing to do, because One: my boobs hurt afterwords, I don't care what kind of bra I have on, and TWO: I always end up with this coughing tickle after my run, why does that happen?? It's like my lungs are jiggling around in there and cause a flair up or something. I could run 4 miles on the elliptical and NEVER end up with this cough. WEIRD!

That Jujitsu sounds like fun!! can't wait to hear all about that class. After all that talk of exercise, I'm tired!! LOL LOL

Good luck the rest of this week, I'm sure your going to be down a pound, You watch!!!
OOOHHH here's some soap to scrub up those hooters of yours!! HAPPY TLD DAY!

It's a half marathon so I only have to run 13 miles. Luckily for me, I wear a -A cup size so my boobs don't budge during running and I no longer have the tickle in my throat. I have been running on the indoor track at the base gym since it's so dark when I get home. I prefer to run around my neighborhood because it's on the lake, the scenery is beautiful, and there are tons of big hills to train on.

I'm looking forward to the Jujitsu class too. He said it was a pretty hard core workout so I should torch some calories!!

 

[bikinibound]

Ha! Happy TLD!!!! SOaping up any boobies today?

Oh yeah, lots. Kim's and Steve's so far. Want me to do your's, too? It looks like Kim's already beaten me to it.

LOL@ you burning your kitchen. I've done that before, and fractured my foot running from the flames. I guess that's one way to get new countertops.

I have no doubt that you'll breeze through the half marathon.

 

[daiseeangel]

*ahem*

my boobies are lathered and ready to go!

 

[Cannon 2006]

Awooogaaaaa!

 

[Miss Ladybug]

man that new class is going to kick start your ass burning those calories like a maniac, you watch. OH I'm excited for you, I can't wait to hear all about it and just how soaked your going to be when it's all said and done. That's my favorite part of Body Jam, every time I leave I KNOW I got the best work out ever, and then I feel good about myself, regardless if I looked like a total tard or not. LOL LOL

I wish I could run that marathon with you, maybe your H can transfer to Tinker and we could workout together. LOL LOL Oh like Cita said in my diary, don't you wish you could find someone as dedicated as you are to workout with?? I would LOVE that!! where are all these people in OK??? Hey, "you if your reading this, go to Miss Ladybugs diary and tell me where your at pronto"!!!

Hope your day is a good one!!! Later gator

I have been super busy today working on Canstruction. I will be going to a big charity gala for the event tomorrow night at the Clinton Library and I have lots to prepare before then. Aaagghh!!!

I'm really looking forward to the class. I've never done it before so I'll probably look like a idiot, but who cares? At least I'll be burning some cals and having fun!

I workout better alone. I don't talk during running or weight training because I'd rather focus on what I'm doing so I don't think a partner would benefit me.A partner for the jujitsu class would be awesome though! I WOULD like someone here in town so we could motivate and hold each other accountable. This is why I love you WLF bitches so damn much!!!!

Oh yeah, lots. Kim's and Steve's so far. Want me to do your's, too? It looks like Kim's already beaten me to it.

Yes Ma'am, put me on the list for next Wednesday!

*ahem*

my boobies are lathered and ready to go!

You and I have an appointment with BB next Wednesday!

Awooogaaaaa!

You are welcome to join us next week.

 

[bikinibound]

Hey Amy, love! How's it going besides busy busy? I am so jealous that you're going to the Clinton Library. Will he be there?? I would love to meet him. <--I couldn't resist the cigar and all.

How is the new thyroid medication going? Any bad side effects? LIke turning Democrat? hehehe

Allright, you and Tyly are first and 2nd on the list for next week's boobie soap jobs.

Not this time. We were trying to get him for the kids' event but he's busy with Hillary's campaign. Maybe next year!!

The library is pretty amazing. I got the squadron's spouses a free tour of the Canstruction exhibits and the library last night and even after seeing it dozens of times, I am still in awe. AND the fact that it is Platinum LEED certified. Wow!

How is the new thyroid medication going? Any bad side effects? LIke turning Democrat? hehehe

Ha!!! This made me choke on my coffee!!! My mother would love that! She is from Ypsilanti, MI and is a BIG Democrat. (Have I ever told you my mother's family is from Michigan?)

The doc still hasn't called me back. He just got back from a deployment to Iraq and is catching up on work. I hope to hear something today.

Allright, you and Tyly are first and 2nd on the list for next week's boobie soap jobs.

I am so there!

 

[MsGhettoBooty]

I workout better alone. I don't talk during running or weight training because I'd rather focus on what I'm doing so I don't think a partner would benefit me.

Amen, girlfriend! I'm the same way. I don't talk to anyone when I'm working out and if they try to get my attention, I get pissed off like no tomorrow. So when Sean and I go to the gym, he'll just kiss my forehead and say, "Have a nice workout, angel. Call me on the cell when you're done." Mind you... my gym isn't huge. I just hate interruptions. hahaaa!!!

A partner for the jujitsu class would be awesome though! I WOULD like someone here in town so we could motivate and hold each other accountable. This is why I love you WLF bitches so damn much!!!!

Is this jiu jitsu class co-ed? Do they keep you with the same partner through the course? (Depending on height and weight that is...) Regardless, you're going to burn so many calories while grappling. You'll be spent, so forewarn Sean that he'll probably have to carry you to the car after. haha!! Good luck with the Canstruction, dollface! I hope everything is going well and the family is doing just as wonderful!

[a-n-g-e-l]

hey hope you are doing well! sounds like you are!

have a good weekend!

;-)

[bikinibound]

No, you didn't tell me your mom's a Michigander. That is so cool. Do you have any family up here then? Ypsilanti--Iggy Pop's hometown.

I was hoping that would make you laugh, but I wasn't aiming for choking! I leave the choking to Sheryl.

I hope the charity gala goes well and that you raise tons of money!! Well, now I have two reasons to go to Little Rock--to see you and the Clinton Library.

Just a reminder to update your stats for the challenge if you haven't already.

 

[Curvie Girlie]

AMY! I never thanked you yet for the wonderful, thoughtful, sweet Christmas card you gave me! Thank you so much!

Good news: the boyfriend completely turned around and is an angel now. I also changed and am enjoying living away from him and doing my own thing most of the week. Happiness is all around us! Thanks for the well wishing.

Good luck training on the half marathon! I think I'm going to run in the woods pretty soon!

The daytime classes are for ladies only but co-ed at night. I'd rather have co-ed. I grew up with two older brothers so I am pretty physical and play very rough. I have a daughter and H to tend to at night so I have to squeeze this in during my lunch break.

Yep, my mother's a Michigander. She came here when she was 13 to stay with her aunt and met my dad. They've been together since. I have many great aunts and uncles and quite a few cousins that still live there and in Ann Arbor. We never visit though.

The gala was a blast and a huge success. The food was AMAZING and it had a free open bar. Woot!

You definitely need to come visit!

Hey stranger!!!!!! Great to see you're back!

I am sooo glad the BF is doing better. It's great that you are becoming more independent yourself. A woman must learn to be alone before she can truly be comfortable with someone else. This way you know you are there for the right reasons and that you don't have to stay if you don't want to.

Have fun running!

 

[AmyRB]

Did not go to Jujitsu on friday and can't go today because they are closed for MLK Day. Sean called on Friday and was off work and wanted to take me to lunch. This NEVER happens so naturally I jumped at the occasion. Wednesday will definitely be my first day.

No exercise this weekend. I stayed on the couch with this horrible cold Bella brought home from daycare. It's is kicking my ass! I have zero energy and my head feels like it is 50lbs. AND the friggin reared it's ugly head this morning a week early!!!!! I have too much to do today or my ass would be home in bed surrounded by tissues, Nyquil and Midol. Bleh!!!!!!!
