K really fun day today!

I have this awesome thing where if mid-set I feel like stopping/dying I say to myself “Now, if someone were holding a gun to your head and told you to finish, could you finish? If this were a life or death situation could you do more reps?”
The answer is always yes.
So then I do not stop because if I could finish or do more then why not?
It works every time.

J’s tip O’ the day.
One time I pictured JM holding a gun to my head telling me to finish the set hAHHA

K ya

SO YESTERDAY I went to this place called launch pad. It’s like this trampoline gym and they have basketball nets so you can be an all-star dunker (I still missed cause I suck at sports no matter what), BUT they also have this diving area where you can jump off super springy trampolines into this huge pit of foam blocks. AND a high dive place!
It was so much fun and gabe got all sweaty which also meant he was worn out and wasn’t annoying all evening, LOL.

I was standing in line for the high jump and all these like 6 year olds where behind me and I was like GUYS I AM SCARED THIS IS GONNA HURT WAAHH
ANd they were like NO! It wont hurt, hurry up, just GOoOOOoo. So I jumped off and scream for my Life like AHHHHHHHHH!!!
ANd I didn’t die cause I landed in foam blocks and not pavement, haha.

Anyway, really fun day. I have decided that if I ever get to go on a real date with a dude I want to go there instead of laser tag as my first choice.
WOOT

Sitting for long periods of time (IE: Anything over 20 minutes) in a vehicle gives me serious anxiety … :-)[/quote]

Amazing progress very well done as csulli said you are doing it right!

OKAY NOW!! I know I said I wasn’t going to post any progress pics until my one year anniversary, but I seriously have no patience for anything (ever) so here is my one year anniversary collage 3 weeks early, LOL.

I will use this as future inspiration to continue working towards improvement. Especially for right now because for some reason I can’t stop craving shreddies of all things (?) I feel like I could eat an entire box of shreddies.

ALSO lastly my dream:
I had a dream that BG was organizing nuts and bolts and screws in a plastic Tupperware container beside the fitness desk as my gym.
What could this mean? Is it like symbolisim <sp). Like he’s organizing my thoughts and feelings ???

Also something about batman and catwoman was there, butshe was wearing some tall yellow boots or something weird.

I am bad at deleting previous stuff so the quotes are smaller, and in a time crunch cause gotta go to work soon. K Get your passport, find out when they are playing somewhere lol… or we can go even if they aren’t playing somewhere cause going on a roadtrip to work out with people is probably the best idea ever… and by august I should be able to do some serious weight ahaha PLEASE BABBY PLEASE!!!

Well if you’re going to whack him you should do it soon before the temperature gets up above freezing for the season. You could probably hide the body out in the wilderness where it would be frozen solid long before anybody found it, would make it more difficult to establish a time of death and thereby place the time of death around when you were in town. You being in the country at the same time he was last seen (coupled with your post here) would look suspicious, but not enough to pin it on you, so long as you were careful and avoided leaving behind any physical evidence.

Not that I would know anything about that sort of thing.

I had a dream that I was taking an airplane to Calgary and I was hanging out at the greyhound and I was on the phone talking to someone. Not sure who, but it was kinda like I was in jail and that was my one phone call or whatever, ya.

AND OMG I <3 crab cycling!! I have no idea what I didn’t do this sooner, I forgot how much I enjoyed it.

Leg days aren’t overwhelming because I get XXtra carbs all day, and “low” carb days aren’t overwhelming because they fall on my favorite workout days.
Everyday is exciting. Really looking forward to seeing the results from me actually putting more effort and planning into my diet.
NURTIENT TIMING WHEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee

I am all of a sudden very sad that I am not still at the gym and I feel slightly overwhelmed that I have to wait 22 hours until I am back there.
HmMMM
I think I have an addictive personality…

K BYE

No, I want to complain about stupid fucking people at work.

So there’s this huge line and this fucking chick wants to register her kids in swim lesson, but heaven forbid she actually have ANY CLUE what day/time she wants!!
SO I am basically just reading her the e-active guide, like Um so do you want sunday at 10?
No, she needs her two kids to be at the same time. BUT GUESS WHAT?! THey don’t offer them at the same time. Incapable of her getting this through her thick head she keeps requesting times that DO NOT EXIST.
I semi yelled at her, for realz. SO WHAT DO YOU WANT THEN?!
So we finally settle on something, and by this point there’s a line TO THE DOOR.
BUT THE FUCKING FOSKldjgkldfjgklf
She doesn’t have money and wants to just pay later!!! Her credit car is in the CAR, BUT SHE IS TOO LAZY/stupid to GET IT!!!
You can’t fucking register and NOT PAY. SO I have to withdraw her from everything and she walks away like NO BIG DEAL.
OH that was nothing to take up 30 minutes of my time and then have multiple people after her BITCH at me for having to wait in line and miss their public swim time>!

MORON
YOU FUCKING MORON
!!!
Ya… last time I worked for the city it took me 2 years to get this bitter about humanity.
HUMANITY!!

Look how far you’ve fallen !!!
REad the fucking e-active guide before you talk to me!
LIke beasts!!!
