Working through the mad people

So....let's discuss the madness of Tuesday.  I woke up on time, happy raring to go and get this weight training on. Then I hit the gym and the old lady dilemma....those broads are gangsta, but I'm more gangsta...or so I think. LOL

I arrived about 9:30 because I was just piddling around the house.  I actually could have been there around 8:45, but that's another conversation.  Ha!  I get downstairs to the weight training area...crowded with the older chicks on machines chatting.  Seriously.  I get the majority of my legs done and I want to get to my hip abductors.  This woman almost knocks me down to get to the machine.  I don't know what my face looked like, but HONEY...she apologized quickly and let me use the machine. #iCant with that foolishenss.  I got finally got my arms done and then headed upstairs for my inclining treadmill time.  I did a good 40 minutes before my bladder kicked in.  I felt so much better getting things done.

Now, I'm here sleepy and thinking a nap is in order since I need to get in at least 1.5 - 2 hours of practicing before a church service.  Then...some cardio after church.  Yea...it's like that for a while.  Gotta get it done...gotta get it done.

Working through the June Challenge

Happy Tuesday!!  Hope all is well with you all in blogger land.  I was going to post earlier today, but I decided to do it after my 2nd cardio workout of the day.  I feel I can hold myself more accountable if I post later.  

Well, my 2nd cardio workout of the day is done.  With my 45 minutes on the treadmill this morning and the 45 on the elliptical tonight, I burned a combined 525 calories. (I love my Polar FT4.)  I feel good and look forward to tomorrow's workouts.  My plan is to hit the weights then get in some inclining on the treadmill for 5o.  I'm actually excited.  Yay me!!

Since I haven't been blogging, I haven't been doing the Friend Making Monday's.  I thought I would do one that was posted last week or something like that.  LOL  Enjoy and join in.

And the summer cometh....June Goals

I haven't blogged in a while and seriously, my weight has been doing the cha-cha all over the place since I took an unexpected blogging break.  So, since I'm learning that accountability makes me do better, I'm back on this grind...  Listen, if you've never had a weight struggle, you just don't understand.  We take one day at a time.

Well, I have to give myself some goals for June.  They may be major to some, but I'm so damn competitive with myself that I will try to accomplish them.  I want to feel better and not the chubby girl that I feel right now...LOL

June Goals:

1. Gym 2 times a day at least 3 times a week.
2. Walk/Run 3 miles 3 times a week.
3. Shake bread/wheat for the month. (My tummy doesn't like it, but I still ingest it and suffer the consequences later.)
4. Try a couple of new classes.
5. Hit the pool twice a week.

Okay...this is a lot, but I need to get the gym in....and keep myself focused.

How's you're summer going??

Monday....Monday.....

I haven't blogged in a while, but I really needed to today.  I gave up potato chips for lent...and it's been difficult.  Seriously, difficult.  I hadn't planned to give anything up since I HAD to give up gluten (another post for another day) and I'm feeling deprived anyway due to my lack of bread.  Then I realized my consumption of potato chips was OUT OF HAND.  So...they have been given up.

And now...I lussssst after Lay's Honey Barbeque potato chips....*iWeep*.

Antywho...here's the Friend Making Monday.  I just love doing this.

Today's Comedy

Comedy and anger....

On Wednesday's in NYC we don't have alternate side parking.  (Alternate side parking is this pain in the butt thingy we do so the streets can be swept.) This is usually my day to head to the gym about an hour later...and just mosey through my day before practicing and Mid Week service at church.

Things didn't go that way.  I can't find my iPod. *crisis music thrown in right here* I'm at a loss for words.  I've been rushing so much and I've been so tired in the mix, I just can't figure it out.  Gaaaah!!!  I can't remember if the last time I saw it was in DC, in my mom's car or at the audition I did this past weekend. *weep*  Needless to say, my house is in extra disarray because I need to see it and know that it is around working. LOL

Antywho, so I hit the gym in anger forgetting my water bottle in my mom's car (who is off to BJ's by this point.).  Seriously can anything else get crazier??  Why yes.

So, I'm on the treadmill getting my C25K in and a commercial comes on for tomorrow's Scandal. (I'm such a Scandalista.)  Somewhere in that commercial I lose where I am on the walk run thingy.  ROFL!  The next thing I know I'm running for 90 secs and walking for 60.  That is NOT the way of week 1.  LOL  Oh well...I got it in and I feel good.

Now off to practice.  Have a great day!!

FMM: Getting to Know Each Other

Happy Monday All.  I haven't been here in a while and well..what's a good excuse?  I don't know.  LOL  Just a lapse.  Life has been busy, but good..with a little weight gain, but back on the game.

Last Thursday, I went to my regular WW meeting and I gained 4lbs over the holiday, and this year, I'm not mad.  Granted, if I had eaten a tad bit better and exercised at least 3 days a week, maybe those 4 wouldn't have happened.  *shrug*

Just know I'm back, around and will probably need this with the amount of music I need to learn.  Plus, I need to be more accountable while learning music and not eating tons of gummy bears.  LOL

Happy New Yeearrruuh!!!

LOL!!  I haven't been here since the start of the holiday season.  I fell off of 2 wagons, but I picked myself back up before 2012 ended and got back on my game.  I've been tracking points and tomorrow I will go and weigh - in (*wail, sigh and wail some more*).

I hope that everyone is having a great start to their new year.  I'm claiming victory in a lot of things in 2013...starting with the chub.  LOL

Happy New Year!!!
