My gosh. So much catching up. You’re looking amazing, MIM.
And I agree that it’s time to pin down a goal. You have been talking about it for some time. And contrary to some opinion, I think you’d have a blast at a powerlifting meet. If you so decided.
Hey all…
Another crappy night of sleep.(F’ING CAT!!!)
And I am now dealing with some serious kid issues. Won’t go into too much detail, but I believe this year has finally caught up to my son. I am being pro active about it and getting him the extra support that he needs 
My son is a good kid at heart,and has always been well liked by all and everyone always compliments me by how sweet and good natured he is…
But there is this other side that has been being influenced(way too easily!) by external sources and he is acting upon them…ugh.
Kids grow up too fast these days and it’s all to much sometimes to process it all for them.
He’s dealt with a lot of losses this year, not just his dad leaving, but good friends moving away…cub scout meetings dwindling down, etc… And he’s at that awkward age in between not little but not quite big. He internalizes everything and doesn’t open up about stuff. And that is the total opposite of what we have been trying to instill.
So thats where Im at now. joy.
tonight is my first training session with the mom/daughter. I’ve been doing my ‘homework,’ and hopefully it works out!
I called the school to get help with the steps toward applying for the PTA program…what else…I got a box from the hubby with a letter inside to me! He’s dealing with some heavy stuff as well, but keeping his head as straight as can be.
wow, I’m tired. And all of a sudden I have a million things to do!
Hey K!
Thanks for stopping in. I don’t frequent your new ‘home,’ very much…I’ll have to catch up with you as well!
As far as competing in anything, who knows. Maybe after things settle again, I can start thinking about it some more.
Yeesh, sounds like you got your plate full!
You just keep plugging through, take the good with the bad and do the best you can. We’re here for you Betty!
And good luck with mom and daughter - i’m sure you’re going to have a blast! big hugs
Good luck handling everything MiM, you can do it though!
Hope things smooth out quickly for you and yours.
Good luck training the “duo” later as well, I’m sure you’ll have stories to tell
Wow, sounds like you’re going through a lot MiM.
We’re here for ya girlie, head up!
:*
Hola, Betty!!
Oh Hai
MinM looking well-
stalker kitty, I have an aging terrier who is just as batshit
Thanks for the well wishes. I think that was my wake up call as to whats really going on out there in the big world, and mama don’t like it. And as a parent to just assume everything is ‘ok,’ just because my kid doesn’t show any signs of stress is a big NO NO!
Stalker kitty only stalked one time about 2am, but only very lightly for about 5 seconds. I think putting a jacket outside my door for her to lay on was a good idea. (thanks N!)
Hey Skye- you just waltz in here and don’t even update your own log? Hows life?
Hey Kmcnyc- thanks for popping in! I need to stalk the 35 forum.
Lack luster training…so blah feeling. I need a couple more days of sleep!
Highlight was getting complimented on my physique. She stopped me as I walking by and said “you know, every time I see you, you look better and better!”
I see her from time to time and actually make fun of her(to myself) for doing curls on the bosu ball.
Apparently shes a trainer at another gym, but works out at mine to get some peace.
It’s always nice to know other people notice your progress.
I hope things get resolved with the kidlet - that must be stressful for you. Wishing you all the best.
ya, it is pretty stressful…thanks Cal.
Having one of those major carb craving days.
Bikini season is in 6 months!!
ya, I know bikini season, big whoop, right?
But it’s what I’m striving for. It will be [I]my[I] ‘competition.’
You handle “your” competition in a bikini this year, but next year maybe on stage 
maybe.
you sly little Inky you…
Then again, the world is our stage! 
Frenchie the kitty whisperer. I am so full of surprises. or B.S
seriously glad it worked. Now anybody have a suggestion for a snoring bedmate? I’ve been waking up every freaking night for the past week and it takes me a solid hour to fall back asleep because of the insomnia gremlin. I think I might have to kill him in his sleep.
Curse you Evil Internet people…I was cut off there briefly, but Im back…Sometimes I think these people are just making up stuff to get more money.
I’ve been paying the bills on time, and even ahead of time since the hubby has been gone and somehow magically a new charge comes up that I hadn’t seen before…
grrr
Glorious night of sleep last night. Kitty did not stalk as far as I know. Crashed at 9pm and didnt wake til 430… fell back to sleep til just after 6…ahhhh
N. snoring is a serious issue! Mine is a snorer as well. But I think I have trained him to where he won’t sleep on his back. He starts on his side and will pretty much stay there.
Have you tried going to bed before him so you can get a head start on sleeping?
Oh, and the training session went pretty well I think. Although a little failure on my part when I had the nearly 300 lb girl doing push ups…she was confused because her belly and chest already tough the floor while in position…oops. I had her to do a seated chest press instead. But maybe pushups off of a bench would be better? This is hard!
OOH OOH! The lady I interviewed with back in August wrote me asking if I was still interested in some opportunities in the medically oriented gym they are opening in May 2011. We are going to meet within the coming weeks to talk more about it!
I’m already nervous! I think I will still apply to the PTA program just to see what happens…and if I’m accepted then I suppose I have a big choice to make! We have two years left here and it could be spent in school or me gaining job experience, doing what I’ve always wanted to(oh and getting paid for it!). I can always apply to wherever we are going to next and still be done by the time I’m 35ish… If I started in the summer though, it would be rough, cause uh, both kids need to be in daycare! Ahhhhhhh, already thinking ahead…
calm down Betty!
