Learn Chinese...

Wednesdays are long days.
With two full days of heavy workouts under my belt, Wednesdays seem to creep by....my body is tired and my mind is, well, a little on edge.  The day felt rushed from one thing to the next, that when I finally had a chance to sit down at 2:30 I could have fallen asleep.  This is part of my problem...I go and go and go until I can't move or think, and as a result am ready to rip someone's head off.  Which might be ok if I didn't deal with people all day...so usually after 3pm someone's life is in danger.  Lord knows if I didn't have my second round of coffee at that point my mug-shot would be on the news.

Only cardio today...40 minutes walking.  It actually flew by because I was in this weird trance or something.  I just kept moving.  Legs were numb from yesterday, but whatever...typical hump day.  Tomorrow is back-day baby!  The tank is ready to pull some weight.

Not much to talk about tonight...although I am very curious as to who comes up with the fortunes in fortune cookies.  I sort of want that job for a day.  If you ever open one that says "Go run until you bleed", you'll know its from me.  My theory is that its a drunk factory worker who finds joy in screwing with peoples' minds with a small piece of paper inside a cookie that isn't technically a cookie at all.  Hollow cracker....its a hollow cracker.  It almost feels like a rip-off...

Anyways, that's it for now peeps...niiiight

Lactate overload

What a day. 
I started the day with an amazing cup of coffee and that pretty much rocked my world from the start.  I was extremely sore this morning, and my right arm went numb while putting on mascara at 4:45.  Its probably just my body's way of rebelling against getting up so early.  On the road by 5:15, and jamming out to Kesha like I'm at a concert.  I love driving...in my own little world, music blasting, and feeling free to fist-pump if necessary (always necessary). 

I thought I was ready for leg day...I was sadly mistaken.  I felt nauseous almost the entire time and vurped a couple times during hamstring curls.  A little graphic, but I swear that machine is straight from Hell itself.  I felt well-rested, and yet everything felt extremely heavy and difficult.  Some days are like that though, and I think since I dropped my carbs and increased my cardio, my body (especially legs) is just a little more tired.  But I was truly at a point in my workout when I thought I might cry...well, first vomit, then cry....then get Morven to punch me for crying.  Viscous cycle.  And ending my workout with walking lunges was ridiculous.  The last 5 yards felt like 30 and my rearend was screaming like a small child in Chuck-e-Cheese.  Great birth control...I should go there more often...

Workout:
Squats 5 x 10-12
Leg press 4 x 10
Hamstring curls on machine 4 x 12
Leg extension 3 x 12
Hamstring curls/glute raise on slideboard 3 x 12/10
Walking lunges 3 x 25 yards

Tomorrow is just cardio.  My body could actually use the rest from weights.  I should be getting in my fabric swatches any day now for my suit.  I'll receive 10 pieces of fabric and then choose from those.  They are all blue/purple, but I am still leaning towards blue.  I honestly can't wait to get back on that stage.  There is such a rush for me, and I miss it....5 years?!!  I'm ready.

A friend just notified me that they came out with Reece's cup minis.  Sex in a wrapper.  Life is not fair right now....I just ate cottage cheese...which is NOT sex in anything.  Eh...

Night folks!  Hump day coming....
