ate great all day and then headed to the gym when i got off work.

some curling asshole changed the radio from a nice metal station to freakin slow jams… right as i was ramping up my deadlifts. it was horrible. luckily he left by the time i was squatting so i got to change it back.

i’m getting ready to move east… and hopefully will have a job lined up out there in the next month or two. i’ll know more on that in a couple weeks. but in the meantime i’m just phasing out of my gigs out here. found and trained replacements for my farm and office jobs… so now i’m just nannying a few days a week. =+)

145

leaving the great state of Cali Deja?

<---------sad Edgy~

146

Moving to the east side, closer to Nikki?

<-----Happy Nikki :slight_smile:

147

Maryland is nice in the Spring! just sayin…

Its almost the end of January…didnt you say you were going to show your snatch?

grin

148

damn it. i had the kids the last couple days and they had ear infections, bronchitis, sinus infections, and a bad cold. i got snotted on and coughed on a ton and despite eating lots of fruits/veggies, taking airborne, zinc, lots of vits, and getting a ton of sleep… i still have a fucking congested head and feel like poo this morning. i was in bed at 7pm the last two nights. i freakin got 14.5 hours of sleep last night and it still didn’t quite do the trick.

hopefully some dayquil and more rest today and i’ll be golden. i really want to at least get in some kind of deload workout this weekend.

not gonna try a pr db snatch feeling like this though. maybe i’ll give it a go monday and still make the end of the month deadline. video is highly unlikely. i still won’t even ask for a spot… so unless i take a few whiskey shots preworkout i won’t be video’ing myself in front of anyone. lol

149

FUCK YEAH!!! So much mofo win in here. Aside from the good eating and ridiculously awesome weather, you’re training has been stellar!

I’m not going to lie, i’m totally jealous of the fact that we weigh the same and yet you’re 2x stronger than me - what’s your freaking secret?! lol!

You rock! don’t get sick. the super ball is right around the corner :smiley:

150

kid germs are the. WORST.

Get well soon…

151

Wow, some really excellent work in here!! WTG Girl :slight_smile: :slight_smile: AND I too and so …very…jealous of your weather!!!

152

Why won’t you ask for a spot or take videos? I only ask because I want Deja videos.

153

omg so i ended up sick as shit by yesterday. but i managed to sleep pretty much the entire day… and woke up better today.

nadia - i’m a sandy wet vagina. i’ll take a video if i’m in there alone… but that means going late at night and i just haven’t got around to it. i’m not in any hurry to post videos of my white, fluffy self right now anyways. there are lots of deja vids floating around in my other journals from times of ole though. =+)

anyways today is my neice’s 3rd bday so i finally crawled out of bed this morning and went to get her some balloons and some yummy sprinkle covered sugar cookies. i made sure to get over there right after bath time so i could give her three spankin’s on her nekkid tush. =+)

then i grabbed a cheeseburger and headed to the gym.

i’m definitely not 100% but i’m happy with what i got done. now i’m feeling all lightheaded and dizzy so i better get some food down the hatch. although i ALMOST feel stoned… and since i haven’t toked in ages it feels great! haha

That’s awesome that you feel better in a day! I wish I was that lucky.

Mexican is sexy, and the diet is fab.

158

Deja videos found! WHOOO HOOO. You are a strong little thing!

159

hey ladies!! sexy mexican… i like the ring. need to find me one of them. ;+)

so lots to update. woke up in a shit ass mood… but made an effort and turned it around by midday.

so i’m putting in my 30 day notice at my living situation tomorrow when i pay rent.

truck will be gone in the next two weeks. so i’ll be rocking a bike or my feet the last couple weeks of the month. then i’ll just camp out on couches/spare beds for the first week or two of march and then it’s time to fly the coop.

should give me enough cash to rent a room somewhere new once i head east and buy stuff like a bed and some groceries. and afford to fly out on the job hunt a bit.

in the meantime i’m extremely blessed to have a month to focus on aesthetics, completely nail the nutrition, soak up some sun, spend some time with the kids, earn a little cash, get all my stuff given away, and check out the wildflowers that are starting to pop up everywhere.

january is officially in the books. did great both nutrition and workout wise. and still was able to enjoy a few beers a week, a high variety of food, and filled any cravings i was having on high carb day without allowing it to become a binge or bleed over into the next low carb day.

excited for february to be just as successful.

so… today was the deadline for the .5 bw db snatch goal. that blasted 65 lb db.

well after being sick all weekend, having super low calories on saturday, having low cals and carbs today, having a massive headache this evening, and just feeling a bit blah… i ALMOST didn’t go attempt it. of course that wasn’t going to fly… if i’m gonna fail this i’m gonna do it TRYING at least. so i waited til i figured all the brotards would be out of the gym and headed down there.

well there were more freakin people than i’ve EVER seen at the damn gym!!! and these girls had on the worst workout music ever. which of course i left on the video so you can feel my pain.

it started off ugly. even the 45’s felt heavy. i polished off my balls and took in the camera though. yeah i’m brave.

anyways… all the reps were ugly. brute strength and definitely no technique. but it is what it is.

i took a break before the 65 attempt and did some pullups hoping the crowd would clear out. but more people came in. so i said fuck it and just gave it a try. one fail and one success. so i got the goal. ugly, but did it. next time i snatch that weight it will be much prettier. i promise.

somehow i magically censored my cleavage with that barbell. i didn’t know i was showing that much. oh my!

workout:

db snatch: 25 x 5; 35 x 5; 45 x 1; 55 x 1, 1; 60 x 1
weighted pullups: +20 x 3, 3
db snatch: 65 x 0, 1 (PR); 50 x 8

i’ll edit in video when i get it uploaded.
