Happy Easter!
Well, it's official - I lost 2 pounds this week. Can't get any better than that.
Although, I'm sure sitting here typing & drinking a Coors Light isn't exactly going to help matters.
The hubby & I went on a nice bike ride this morning. The first ride of the Spring season. It was really nice (short, but nice). Then we did some Spring cleaning in the yard. All in all it was a nice Easter Sunday.
Tomorrow starts another week of am workouts - Monday - Friday. And, tomorrow is my first meeting with my new client. I have all the forms all set save for a few I need to make copies of.
I'm ready to start out a new week.
What a messed up workout today.I tried the 5K button on the treadmill like I said I would not realizing it didn't offer up any warm up time & I ended up with mad shin splints. To make matters worse I was right smack dab in the middle of 2 other people running on their treadmills. I probably looked like a moron. Oh well, such is life.
I did however get in a great shoulder & leg superset workout as follows:
Superset 1:
- 3 sets of 8 at 10#'s - shoulder presses
- 3 set of 8 at 35 #'s - knee curl machine
Superset 2:
- 3 sets of 8 at 10#'s - L-concentric raises
- 3 sets of 8 at 65#'s - leg extension machine
Superset 3:
- 3 sets of 8 at 8#'s - lateral to front raises (went down to 5#s for the last one)
- 3 sets of 15 at 15#'s - calf raises
I also jumped on the Roman Chair:
- 1 set of 8 regular bent knee raises
- 1 set of 10 side bent knee raises
That's it folks. At least I made up for the bad cardio. But then today was day 5 in a row of cardio so ....That's it for now ........
A push & a button!
Yes I am typing when I should be putting the dog in her crate (we crate train her until she understands that no - it's not ok to eat our cd's and socks and whatever else fits in her little beagle mouth) and heading back to work for the wonderful 2nd half of the day.
But, no - I want to type. Type away ...... Ok, I'll just get to the freakin' point & maybe sign on later.
This morning's workout:
- .50 at 3. mph (to warm up)
- 1.00 at 6. mph (moderate run)
- .50 at 3. mph
- .50 at 7. mph
- .50 at 3. mph (to cool down)
total ---> 3 miles (& around 300 calories)
Not bad eh? I pushed myself like I said I would & then the sudden realization that there was a 5k button on the damned treadmill came to me. Does it also control spead? (I asked Jaime) She didn't know so I hit the button & golly gee whiz it does! So, guess what I'll be doing next time?? How very exciting for me.
More later (or not)
Today's w/o & an official new client
I passed the test. Yup, I made it to the gym this morninig by myself. I had to change it up though - did 10 minutes on the elliptical trainer & 15 on the bicycle. Then I did bi's & tri's:3 Supersets:
- 8 reps - 10#'s - bicep curls
- 8 reps - 10# - skull crushers
then:
- 8 reps - 15# - hammer body curls
- 8 reps - 15#'s - tricep extensions
Abs:
- 10 crunches on the roman chair (later on I was feeling it - I'd done 10 yesterday as well)
I also got myself more familiar with some of the equipment at the gym - like the cable machine etc.
Yesterday's treadmill workout was something like this:
- .25 at 3.0 (to warm-up)
- .50 at 5.5 (slow jog)
- .50 at 7.0 (run)
- .25 at 3.0
- .25 (at 6 & then 7 % incline)
- .25 at 6.5 (slow jog)
- .25 at 3.0 (to cool down)
----> Total: 2.25 miles
Tomorrow I intend to go back to treadmilling it but I will run full miles rather than splitting it up & will push myself by doing them at at least 6mph. Afterwards - I will be doing shoulders or back (not sure which yet). It's supposed to snow tonight (wtf!) so it may be a rough ride to work in the am.
Good news: I have my official first client - she works at our town middle school & she is 50yrs old. She is getting medical clearance from her doctor (per my request) & I am thinking I'll plan to interview & do the fitness tests on Monday but I'm not sure yet. Her schedule is such that my ours of training her will be perfect (after 5:30pm & the weekends). I'm very excited & very nervous! I managed to find perfect documents for the initial interview right smack dab in my AFAA study book (duh!) so I'm all set there.
That covers it ... now ....
The awful truth: I probably shouldn't have eaten that chicken skin.
Brownie points: I'm sticking to the am workouts! Ate veggies today for snacks.
Finally a good workout buddy!
I couldn't sleep worth a shit last night. I couldn't fall asleep & then when I did it'd only be for like an hour or 2 & I kept waking up & the husband was snoring & needless to say I didn't make it to the gym in the am.
I did however make it this afternoon & my friend Jaime & her boyfriend went with me too! Quite cool. I had fun doing cardio with her & I showed her a few things too afterwards with the free weights. It was very cool. We have both agreed to go in the mornings for 5am too. We're starting tomorrow. I'm psyched that I have a workout buddy! We had planned this in the past but never stuck to it so I used to call her a "bad-buddy". I may have to upgrade her if this works out :-)
Today consisted of mainly cardio as follows:
This morning:
- 12 running flights of stairs (up & back counts as 1)
- 2 sets of 15 standing push-ups
- 1 20 second plank
This afternoon:- 1 set of 15 standing push-ups after lunch (in the bathroom - tee-hee)
Treadmill after work:
- .25 @ 3.5 (warm -up)
- .50 @ 5.0 (slow jog)
- .50 @ 6.0 (moderate jog/run)
- .25 @ 3.5 (needed some water
- .50 @ 5.2 (slow jog)
- .50 @ 6.0 (moderate jog/run)
- .50 @ 3.5 - 2.0 (cool down)
---> totalling: 3.0 miles & roughly 300 calories
Jaime did incline at a fast walk & burned more calories! Good for her!
Well, that covers it. I think tomorrow I may do incline but I probably wont because I hate going slow. Tomorrow's workout (evening) will be chest.
The awful truth: the tuna grinder I had was most likely made with mayonaise (or should I say fatonaise)
Brownie points: great cardio today & good job getting my workout buddy to workout with me! It's so much more fun that way!
Tomorrows goals: Explain METS to Jaime, get Jaime to do a more rigorous workout (cross trainer?), plan chest workout.
That's all for now :-)
Sunday, the free-day. The eat what I want and don't feel guilty (yeah, right) day! I can't help it I still feel guilty.Yesterday's excercise consisted of cardio & legs (with the husband) as such:
At the track:
.25 walk (to warm up)
.50 jog/run
.25 walk
.50 jog/run
.50 walk
------> totalling 2 miles + we did some 100 meter sprinting
At home leg workout:
2 sets of 15 Side Lunges
2 sets of 15 Hip Extensions
2 sets of 15 Pendulums
2 sets of 20 kick backs with a twist
Man, did the husband whine & bitch & moan. He hates working out his legs & the instant we do he develops the attention span of a 2 year old. It's really quite amazing how a groan man can act like a child & let every little thing distract him because he just doesn't want to do something. All manly one second & the next a whining little girly-man. I still love him though - the bastard.
I will be starting this next week out with a trial of morning work-outs. The intention is to workout in the am so I can have free time in the PM to train the hubby & any clients I might have in the future. I'm really very nervous about training clients.
Tonights/Tomorrows goals: Go online to get PT forms (health history, fitmarks ...). Get up at 4:45am to get to the gym by 5am for my new morning routine workout. This will give me enough time to get home by 6ish to get in the shower & get ready for work.
The awful truth: Ate a bad meal (Chinese) yesterday - it evened out carb wise but I made a bad choice & had a snack of some more an hour before going to bed.
Brownie points: Managed to get cardio in 5 days this week! A good deal of it was thanks to circuit training but that will change this week.
I need to practice what I preach & be in top shape for my clients & for myself.
Goals for the week: Stick to am workouts, work on getting Jaime to come with me! Map out workouts for the week for me & hubby. Get paperwork for client interviews & initial consultation.
That's it tonight (no more "toodles" - I mean - who the hell says that?!)
Resolution & a Dilemma
It's official - I printed & placed my business cards at the gym & popped my first payment into the drop box (for this month). I would post a picture of my business card but I can't for the life of me figure out how. I have to have my pictures on another website to post? Strange.
Anway, I'm excited & nervous at the same time. Afterall - the only person I've really trained is my husband so. I'm going to put up some cards at the office too where I work. And, when I do start training clients - their payments to me will end up paying for my membership at the gym & then some. Excellent - I just need to put a $$ on my services - I'll need to be at at least $20 per 1/2 hour session but I'm not sure yet.
Hold on, got to get my coffee & my myoplex light (nutrition) bar ... Oh shit, forgot the bar .... hold on ..... Ok....
Now, I have been tossing this around in my head - should I give my sister the address for my blog? She lives in Florida & I hardly see her (which sucks!). This would give her a peak into my daily (permitting I post daily) life that she doesn't ordinarilly get to see (which may be good since my life is not exactly exciting). Ah, what to do, what to do. My blog may bore the shit out of her. In fact I think it already bored the shit out of my one reader. Oh, my solo reader .... come back .....
Damnit, I forgot to take my mulit-vitamin - hold on ........... ok, all set now.
-K, so I appear to only be able to run every-other-day thanks to my dead-slow-to-heal ankle.
Thus, yesterday - no cardio but here's what I did:
Chest:
Standard sets (alternating with hubby)
3 sets - 50#'s - Bench Press (regular supine position)
3 sets - 15#'s - Incline dumbell chest press
Supersets:
1 set - 15#'s - Decline dumbell chest press with a twist
1 set - 15#'s - Decline dumbell flyes
That covers the workout. Tonight is legs & cardio (running on the treadmill at the gym).
To sum it up:
The awful truth: There isn't any!
Brownie points: Got off my ass & put my name out there. Now ... I wait ...
Toodles! (God - why do I say that? Just to annoy myself?)
What a great day!
Well, I have my membership at the key-gym as of today (even got my key!) & I can post my availability (flyer or cards) as a trainer & train any member & conduct business as I wish. All I have to make sure of is that I pay every month (as long as I go - if I should take a month off - I don't have to pay - how cool is that?) & ensure that my clients are paying clients of the key gym as well. It's as simple as that! I'm so psyched! I swung by & checked it out then came home to change & went back to run a little bit. It's a great gym & a great opportunity. Can you tell I'm happy?
The only possible problem is that my ankle is a little stiff now & my be swollen - I haven't looked at it yet. I tore some ligaments back in January & it's been slowly healing. I may have to go to the physical therapist afterall. I don't know. Only time will tell. I'll have to see how it is tomorrow.
Tonights mission is to toss together some cards or a flyer & read about liability insurance for Personal Trainers. What a great day!

carbs=energy=excercise=fat loss=good so carbs=good ... hmmm... who knew it?!
Well, today we had our luncheon at work & I got my lovely service award for 3 years of service. It's a nice plaque with an engraved key chain. When I hit 5 years I'll get to select something out of a catalog - watches, necklaces, cameras... I'm psyched for that. I think it's a conspiracy -employer bribary to get us to stay longer. What confirms my suspicions is that the 3 year people used to just get a cheapo gift & now they've been added to the other groups that are presented service awards. Of course, that could also have to do with the high turn-around rate. The new employees that were introduced - oh - freakin' endless.Today's workout:This am was the usual:10 flights stair running (this was increased from 8)
1 set of 15 standing pushups
1 20 second plank (increased this one too!)
Tonight's workout (circuit training still):
400 jumps
1-2-3 curls (curl up 1/2 way & stop -8, start at 1/2 way & curl to top-8, full curl-8) all 8 reps=24
1 set 8 overhead tricep extensions - 15#'s
400 jumps
1 set 8 body hammer curls - 10#'s
1 set 1 arm overhead tricep extensions - 10#'s
400 jumps
1-2-3 curls (as described above)
1 set tricep pushdowns on machine - 30#'s (slow - counting 1, 2)
400 jumps
2 sets preacher curls - 20# barbell
1 set 10 bench dips
Ok,
that covers it for now. Today's eating started off ok with a protein MRP for breakfast & a string cheese for my 10 o'clock snack but with the luncheon things were tossed off kilter. I tried to maintain the carbs by only having a protein for breakfast, & snacks but then faltered when the husband decided on pankakes for dinner. I did however maintain a good amount of water & at least I'm getting in the protein I need & using the extra carbs for energy.
So to borrow from Maggie at http://www.causticmuse.com :
The awful truth: Ate too many carbs. Really need to plan these workouts in my head ahead of time & not just wing it (although it's working..)
Brownie points: used the carbs for great cardio & I'm still maintaining that extra cardio (stairs) every morning. I am training the hubby & have him doing cardio circuits with the weight training right along side me.
So, off I go - I have to at least catch the end of Survivor & Alias is on tonight! & BTW - I'm not preggo (you figure it out)
Toodles
Damn Blog site - why doesn't anything post!
I tried to post earlier this morning but unlike my mirror site this blogsite is always giving me error messages & it didn't print.
I'll copy what I had that didn't post:
Ah, bright & early this morning. I'm ready early this morning. Here's today's excercises so far.
8 running flights of stairs (up & down counts as 1)
1 set 15 standing push-ups
1 15 second plankMeals:Breakfast - 16oz Spirutein Chocolate with Skim Milk & Glutamine

Tonight will be shoulders & abs. Time for me to go to work!
I finished out the workout today with Shoulders & Abs as I said - supersetting the shoulders & adding circuit training again with the jumprope.
My Shoulder workout consisted of:
400 jumps
1 set 8 Arnold Presses w/15#'s
1 set 8 L-concentric side raises w/10#'s
400 jumps
1 set 8 Arnold Presses w/15#'s

1 set 8 Arnold Presses w/15#'s
1 set 8 front raises (slow, concentrated) w/5#'s
1 set 8 L-concentric side raises w/5#'s (slow, concentrated)
400 jumps
2 Sets of each of these for abs:
10 ball crunches
10 side bent elbow crunches
10 side straight arm crunches
10 pilates scissors
1 15 second held plankOk, that covers it. Sorry to bore you again.
We ran completely out of water & can't drink the city water because it's disgusting. I don't know how they pass the tests to allow it in our home to be honest. Luckily, are water company rep is so nice that she dropped off a jug on her way home tonight! Yippee!
Oh, God - today I was sitting in the engineering meeting at work & all of a sudden I was exhausted - I swear - I could have fallen asleep had I shut my eyes. Now, I am always tired - regardless of how much excercise I get & how I eat - it's just the way I am but this was crazy. I couldn't concentrate for the life of me & I had to fight to stay awake. It was awful. If only I had zonked right out in front of the president of the company - the look on his face would have been priceless! I can't help but think I might be (shhhh!) pregnant. The husbad & I are lightly trying since we're both getting a little older than we'd like to be for our first child. Only time will tell (but don't you tell anyone!). Anway, I don't want to jinx it so I'll stop all discussion on the subject. Besides, I don't know if now is a good time to have a child - but then - it's not really up to me is it?
Toodles until tomorrow!
Ah, bright & early this morning. I'm ready early this morning. Here's today's excercises so far. 8 running flights of stairs (up & down counts as 1)
1 set 15 standing push-ups
1 15 second plank
Meals:
Breakfast - 16oz Spirutein Chocolate with Skim MilkMore later. Tonight will be shoulders & abs. Time for me to go to work!
No rope but stairs & a goal!
Yeah, so this morning I'm getting ready for work & have this great blasted idea. I'm going to finish 1/2 my makeup & then I have to run downstairs to get some clothes out of the dryer sooo while I'm down there I'm going to do some quick cardio with my jumprope. Maybe 400 jumps or so - enough to get my heart & lungs going & burn some fat in a short time. Excercising early in the morning is tough for me but it will give me so much extra time in the evening. I'm all psyched & then I get a knock on the door & the hubby tells me he took the clothes out of the dryer & brought them upstairs for me! Funny, he was doing it to be nice & he blew my plan - Bastard - tee-hee! So I'm thinking to myself - Ok, "Miss Personal Trainer" what would you suggest to someone you were training that had little equipment & little time for a quick alternative to say the treadmill (which I don't have at home) or the elliptical trainer (which I do have at home)? Stairs - I have stairs - I would suggest stairs! So, after I finished getting ready I ran the stairs about 8 times (up & back down counting as 1) & then a set of 15 good paced standing pushups on my dresser (low dresser not a high one). Enough to get the lungs & heart working.
Anyhow, I'm thinking I'm going to work that into my daily routine now for quick cardio every day. Studies have shown that even quick 10 minute intervals of cardio add up to fat loss. The study further suggest that if people with tight schedules can fit 3 - 10 minute bouts of cardio thus = 30 minutes total into their day they can burn equivalent amounts of fat as someone that works 30 minutes straight. Now, I'm not entirely confident that this is better than a good 45 minutes to an hour of good cardio but it is something & that's more (sadly) than the average American does. I figure I will test this theory by doing the quick 10 minute cardio every day plus whatever else I may do with my standard strength training.So, today's total excercise was as follows:8 running flights of stairs (up & down = 1 flight)1 set 15 standing push-ups (good pace - enough to keep the lungs & heart pumping)40 butt-squeezes (in the shower)20 calf raises (along with butt-sqeezes)2 sets of 10 Side Lunges2 sets of 10 Hip Extensions2 sets of 10 Pendulums2 sets of 10 kick backs
That covers the workout. What did I eat you ask? (Ok, you didn't really ask but I'm going to tell you anyway!)Today's Meals:8AM: 1 cup Special K with 8 oz Milk10:30AM: 1 String Cheese11:20AM: Tuna Fish & Egg Sandwich on Whole Wheat Toast with 8oz. V8 Juice2:30PM: 1 String Cheese6:00PM: Chicken, Bacon Wrap with Provolone Cheese, Light Ranch Dressing, Baked Lays & 12oz Skim Milk+ just under 80 ounces of water (80oz is my daily goal)
Alright, I'll stop boring you. This is more for me than you I guess. I do however dare anyone that reads this that's overweight or just not happy with their body/body image/or life in general to join in & excercise with me! Excercise is a great mind-lifter as well & is often suggested for people with depression. Try it!Oh & btw - I lost 1/2 a pound last week (well maybe 1 pound - I'm allowing for fluctuations throughout the day ...)
The Ceral Decision
Here I sit typing away another entry on my blog while the 3rd cup of coffee sits like lead in my stomach. What the hell was I thinking drinking 3 cups? I'm putting off eating my breakfast like a complete moron (for no reason). I think I should make this short & just get off my ass & decide between the Special K & the Raison Bran. The Raison Bran has a whopping 45 carbs but then I am not a stubborn uneducated (about nutrition & fitness) person that revolves their entire lives around how many carbs they eat. In fact - if I eat either one - the Special K or the Raison Bran - I am well over the limit of carbs an Atkins (die-ter) is allowed. Frankly, I love carbs - I wouldn't go crazy with them - I eat a balance of carbs, protien & fat - our bodies need all 3 to function properly & I am so on-top of functioning properly.
All day yesterday I felt like my stomach was on fire - almost like cramps but not really. Today it seems to have subsided thankfully.
I did finally call the Key Gym I have been planning to call to see if he needs/wants to take on a new Personal Trainer & got his answering machine. It was so strange - I got a call back - only it wasn't him, it was his wife & she was asking for a "Brandy"! I had entered in the # on my cell phone so I knew it was her but when I told her who I was & asked (even though I knew it was) if this was the fitness center calling she ignored me - all hung up on the fact that I wasn't this "Brandy" chick & insisted she had written the # down wrong! Now, I don't think she even bothered to give her husband my phone information! So, I'm going to have to call back & hopefully he answers & I don't have to leave a message again for fear of the wife flaking again.
Well, enough for now. Nothing exciting is happening today. We're getting more damn snow - where the hell is spring!? I'm so damned sick of this snow! UGHH! I want to start a training program for new 5K runners & start training on the road for the 100 Mile MSTour I will be bicycling in with my husband but the snow is neverending this year.
Alrighty, off to my contemplating which cereal to eat. Maybe more later, maybe not.
A ray of light & a slap of reality ...
What I would give to be 15 again ... But, then at that age (when we think we know everything but wont dare admit it) we can't wait to grow up & then .... POW - it happens & all we want is to jump in a time machine & go back to our teens again. I'm sounding older & older with every key stroke. Bills, bills, bills - never-ending bills. On occasion when I get a flyer or magazine in the mail - I'm actually excited because they don't want money from me! How pathetic can I get? Oh, much more I'm sure.At 16 I made a decision that I shouldn't have made. I decided to leave high-school & move to Florida with my father who had been non-existant in my life up until about 3 months prior. Sound stupid? It was. I was told I would be able to go back to school but then never allowed. Sound crazy? It is - my father owed over $20G's in back child support & thought the state we lived in would find him & make him pay if I enrolled in any school. Why that didn't put up any red-flags for me I'll never know. But, then I was 16 & thought I knew everything. Maybe if I'd had proper guidance before making that decision it would have been different - but it was a decision I made none-the-less. That decision changed my life. Can we count on the ones we love all the time? Probably not. Why? Because we're all human & we all fuck up. Should we forgive those that fuck up & rip your heart out & mess you up for life? Yeah, I'm gonna say - NO. But, hey that's just me & what do I know - I'm just a Blonde Bimbo.At this point in my life - I have earned everything myself - no help from mommy or daddy. I wasn't given a car for my 16th birthday - in fact I didn't even get my license until I was 19 & I had to buy my own car. I worked from the age of 16 to now & I've worked my ass off to get where I am today. Nothing was handed to me & you know what - I'm glad! I was always taught to be independent (sometimes taught the hard way) & I am so thankful for that. In my early to late 20's my mother ended up being my best friend. At times I hated it because I needed my mom & not a friend but I wouldn't trade it for anything now (that she's gone). I am confident & 110% sure that my mom & I wouldn't have gottent that close had I not made the decisions I did in my life. Therefore - I guess I really have no regrets. One tiny little thing can change EVERYTHING. So often we forget about consequences (sp?).Take a minute to reflect on your life. Are you happy with what you've done? Where you're going? A lot of people aren't - you'd be surprised.Apologies to those that I've bored to death.Tonight's workout (done @ 6:30):
Back & Bi's & a little Tri's (I got carried away) + cardio - supersets:** Jumprope - 100 "jumps straight"8 reps: Bicep Curls - 10#'s8 reps: Tricep Overhead Extensions - 10#'s** Jumprope - 100 "jumps straight"8 reps: Body Hammer Curls - 15#8 reps: Close Grip Lat Pulldowns - 40#'s** Jumprope - 100 "jumps straight"8 reps: Concentration Curls (regular on body-ball) - 10#'s8 reps: Rows - 40#** Jumprope - 100 "jumps straight"---> total "jumps": 400 - I love jumping rope - it's great cardio to sneak inbetween weight training & it's reminiscent of my childhood :-)Ok, enough for today. My stomach & full from my protein shake & America's Next Top Model is on (Lost is a re-run). More tomorrow..........
Nobody loves me, everybody hates me. I eat worms.
Yup, not a soul wants to read my blog :-(
But then, do I blame you? Probably not. At this point it's just a bunch of useless rambling without a tinge of interest. I will say though for those imaginary readers - my hair came out nice. It's a nice ash-blonde now & I really like it (as does the husband). Maybe I'll post a picture. Keep your eyes open my little pretend readers!
I am waiting for the tea kettle to whistle that crazy train-horn whistle so I can pour my chamomile tea for the night. Oh, there it is - hold on .... Ok, the tea is a-steepin' ... mmmm ... .smells good!
I just spoke with my sister who is expecting her first child after about a year of trying & having to go on Clomid. She is due in September & she just emailed me the ultrasound so I could see my little niece or nephew (I like to say niece but I'll be happy either way). Well, the little white blob, inside the black blob, inside the white blob is adorable - not that I'm biased or anything!
Ok, I'm off to drink my tea & then retire to the bedroom to lounge in bed & watch Amazing Race 7 with the hubby. Good night all you not really there-but I'll pretend you are to make me feel better readers!
Blonde Bimbo
Well, here I sit with the 3rd box of color on my hair trying to get rid of the God-Awful yellow tinge I have. Trying to lighten your hair color yourself is apparently not a good idea! My husband likes it but to me it screams: "Look at my dyed blonde hair! No, really it is my hair - not a wig - sad as it is ..." At this stage - my scalp is burning & I'm praying to God that it comes out right! I just want a dark ash blonde - is it too much to ask?
This really sucks. Between the burning scalp & feeling sick to my stomach from the MacDonald's I ate last night I'm ready to crack!
Tonight my workout schedule is Back & Bi's. I have to put together a plan so the husband doesn't get bored. Should be pretty easy. I also have to get off my ass & call the local Key Gym to see if he needs any Personal Trainers & if he'd take me on board. I need to all this between the burning scalp & fighting the urge to throw up. Luckily the burning scalp will dissipate when I rinse out the color - as for the urge to puke - that I can only hope will supside. Ah, gotta love life!
