Hideous in that oh my god, I love how much this sucks way.

I’ve been watching a show on youtube called Supersized vs Superskinny, off channel 4. Do you know anything about it? It’s captivating. Though the whole stones conversion keeps throwing me off.

I took Frenchie’s advice here, didn’t give a fuck and set up the stair risers in the middle of the pully machine. It was great to not have to worry about falling off trying to get my feet into the band.

Woo hoo! Frenchie sees potential in me!

I did the math for sunday, oh my fucking god. Net 3,110 calories. Did it stop me from having a cookie for breakfast today? No.


Monday AM

Treadmill coffee chug. My calves were killing, they’re still killing. Sat night I wore 4" heels then Sunday jump roping. No wonder I can’t find knee high boots to go over my gigantic calves.

100 25lb KB swings (20,40,40)

YTLP
Robertson’s shoulders

Sumo DL
135x5 155x5 195x3 195x2 135x5
I don’t even want to talk about it

A1) Inverted row 2x10
A2) Incline Pushup 2x10

I couldn’t make to the gym last night so I tacked these on.

Well ok I know you’re not quite kungfo, but close enough.

Oh and your hullahoop stories makes me want to try to take up Poi again, something fun & silly to do. Once I find time to actually fit it in, oh and have the space to do it.

Lol! Totally. Stretch out them achilles’ btw.

Meh. Don’t worry about that DL (195 ridic good btw), you’ll get it again. I know you don’t want to talk about it but I’m a nosey biznatch. What do you think went wrong?

And don’t you make that sad kitty face at me! Or I will eat it off - its so freaking CUTE! Nothing to be sad about, 5x5 assisted is still good shiz! Just keep challenging yourself! You know the drill :slight_smile:

I wear high heels EVERY SINGLE DAY.

The higher the better.

I’ve got at least five pairs that are six inches… or six and a half… So yeah… HOOKER CALVES FTW!

Where the fuck does the week go?

This was an odd one. I’ve felt discontent all week.

Anyway
T: Spin

W AM: Yoga, I was cranky and didn’t ask my question.

PM: Hula Hoop, once again my discontent seeped into my work out and i really just wanted to stand there and quietly hoop with my eyes closed. Instead I had to deal with a small child someone decided to bring with them and then place next to me. I like kids for the most part, but they’re selfish inconsiderate beings it’s just part of the developmental process. So I don’t like parents that don’t appropriately control their kids. No, it’s not okay that your child keeps running into me. I could barely hoop because little kid kept running into me and my hoop while it ran around screaming. Not ok, so incredibly not ok. I was so aggravated though that I knew if I said anything, it would be bad. I instead worked on not letting my environment affect my mood. It’s something I suck at.

Then a weight room quicky.

A1) Inverted row 10x2 5
A2) Incline Pushup 10x2 5

I was in a terrible mood, so that’s all I did.

Th: Spin

Fri: Bootcamp

I’ve seen your log, I don’t agree with your assessment.


Sat:

Yoga - I’ve got a ridiculous knot in my calf still and can’t seem to let it go. Ideas? I’ve done yoga, tried the LX ball, and foam roller.

A1) Inverted Row 10x2, 5
A2) Incline Push up 10x2, 5

I know it seems like I’m doing the same thing all the time, but it’s progressing, I’m changing the angles or the amount of rest. I am feeling like I’m doing stuffs.

Why is it so short? I’ve acquired a fan. An old creepy fan. I know I’m a bit oversensitive to being watched in the gym, but dude is actually just standing adjacent to whatever I do and watching when he thinks I can’t see him. He also always, always tries to make eye contact. He’s only there at the same time as me on the weekend, and now it’s been three saturdays in a row. Today I couldn’t deal with it and left early. Advice as to what to do? I can’t change my gym time because yoga is at a set time. I already give him the angry face when I forget he’s trying to make eye contact and look at that area of the room. Do I say something? I don’t want him to interpret it as ‘oh, she knows I exist.’ I’m finding it harder and harder to just ignore this guy.

Poi? I thought that was a type of soup.

Oh, my poor calves. I’m finally stable in heels again and have been wanting to at least wear a few before the snow descends and I’m bundled from head to toe.

What went wrong? I haven’t tried to lift heavy in the AM before and I think that was a large part of it. I might not have warmed up enough. I also wasn’t comfortable. I don’t do the weight room in the morning, so I don’t know the morning crowd and I’m a big baby. I need everything to be perfect before everything can be perfect.

Yup, baby steps, itty bitty baby steps. I just like to complain.

I’m on my feet and wandering around campus a lot, everyday heels are just not practical. I’m jelly.

I did wear a pencil skit and a baby 2" heels this week. Man, pencil skits make boobs look huge, I suggest them to you all!

that pic is hilarious!

Lil kitten heels can be adorbs! On a lil mule or a lil round toe show… s’cute!

As far as high high heels for walking of course weges are the best. A wedge with an ankle strap I can run in. Myy best friend calls a wedge with an ankle strap a “rape escape” shoe. Cuz you look like they can getcha but if they tryy you just run run run away!

Damn that makes me miss her… got to plan a trip.

Pencil skirts make me look like a butch librarian. With my short shins and wide hips, they are not a good look, sadly. Doesn’t help that I can’t wear heels. We have a receptionist/secretary at school who really rocks a pencil skirt - she’s in her late 50s but is frighteningly elegant - she looks like a retired Hitchcock blonde. She also drinks, smokes and has a filthy sense of humour. She’s pretty awesome.

If I’m frighteningly elegant in my late fifties… I’ll be pleased!

Oh no, no kitten heels, ever. I do ballet flats or fuck me heels. I have a handful of compromise heels, but never a kitten. These are the baby ones I was talking about, so not quite baby. I don’t do ankle straps either, I’m short, they break the line. I will stay and fight.

Feel free to hate me now that I’ve peed all over your heel suggestions :frowning:
