I need to be better about letting breaks be breaks but then immediately getting back into the groove. I will never see anything wrong in running away for a while, it keeps me whole. But when I am back I need to be back. Sore and busy sound like great excuses, but alas they are just that, excuses. I’ve been terrible about getting back in the grove the last two days. Yesterday all I did was spin and eat and work. Pizza can be run away food but not at home food. Today. Ugh. I skipped yoga. I hang my head. I did go to hula hoop class, but that’s little more then play. Especially after a lunch of grilled cheese sandwiches (yes multiple).
I tried to lift after. It was a disaster. 100KB swings in sad little 10/15 rep bursts. Then with no plan. I wandered into the only open space the squat rack. I literally couldn’t figure out what the motion was. I did a few BW, a few with the bar, then put some baby weights on the bar. Total fail. I’ve forgotten all cues, my left quad has decided not to function as part of my body. My ankle started to say hello. I literally walked away in disgust. I attempted some DLs but it was so crowded people were trying to step over the bar when ever I put it down. My quads were still freaking out. So I tapped. Ill go back and have a great session tomorrow but today it wasn’t there. I could only see injury in my future.
I am no longer playing in the woods. Tomorrow food will be spot on and I will have a lovely time at the gym. I’m counting on you all to shame me back into the groove, I need some tough loves, por favor.
Bamfs aren’t created with pizza and lounging. Get your mental game on tomorrow and kill it. It will make you feel better and clear the cobwebs from your brain. Those breaks and food goodies need to be deserved. I speak this with much experience
When on the Mountain, BE on the mountain. When in the gym, BE in the gym. Embrace it, feel it, revel in it. It is YOUR domain, and you are KING of it. No one can take IT from you, unless you GIVE it to them. When I am with my WIFE, I am not thinking about being in the gym. When I am IN the gym, I am not thinking about being outside or on the beach. Throw yourself 100% into whatever you are doing. What I found was the ZONE. That area where time ceases, and the moment is EVERY F’n THING.
Got my ass out of bed at 5, went to spin and absolutely enjoyed it. Did a bit of yoga and stretching, and now am starting the day off with a shake.
I’ll lift at noon and then the groove will be back.
I tried to take a sexy hair pic like OG’s but I’m terrible at self pictures. I did manage to surprise myself with how long my hair is when it’s dry, and this time I made sure to cover all my bits!
my hair is long-ish, but it’s dry and lame. I actually had a dream last night I was getting a hair cut by a man named Alex who worked out of a hotel, strange.
Hmm, anyway, wow 5am for spin, good job. I don’t thinK I could motivate myself to do that in a million years!!
Good start to the day! Now keep it up. I find I make most excuses the week before Flo arrives. I’m just tired and hormonally challenged I guess. Mid cycle I train like a wolverine. Maybe that’s your problem?
Great hair regardless.

Great training, Peaches! I can’t remember what it was as I’ve forgotten after all the lolcats and stuff (and years of marijuana smoking)…but it was good! That I know. I said, “hm, that’s a lot of pressing”

I’m all over tights as pants, but skin colored ones? NOPE
Thanks? I think? I wasn’t really on my game the last time I lifted. You can come compliment me on this afternoons session after I do it and post it.
BSS 15lb Kb goblet style 5x5 ea leg
As I was doing these some guy decided he was going to do hip thrusts in front of me and make a wonderful orgasm like noise for each rep. I need louder music in my shuffle. And some sort of spinning blade creating a bubble of personal space for me in the gym. He kept smiling
Rack pulls 135x5 205x5x4
I am going to have to get wrist wraps. My grip couldn’t deal with it. I had to reset between each rep.
Hip adduction/ abduction machine. Weight x 3 x10
So nothing major, but I went I picked stuff up. It felt good.

Why is this so easy to forget? Can you pop in here after all my trips and just repost this?
Thanks!
I also really enjoy your FB quotes, they make me want to get shit done.

If I was a kitteh I would be all up in the hair.
I’m thinking of doing the no poo thing now that my hair is a bit shorter.
Definitely makes YOUR hair look great.

Oh Lula, this is one of my forever goals and exactly why I enjoy lifting and BJJ. I have a lot of trouble being in the moment (I’m way better now then in the past), so the immediate effects of gravity or pain ground me. He puts it so well. Thanks!

Last night as I tried to drown out orgasm guy, I realized I need to update the music on my shuffle. Science friday podcasts and Rufus Wainwright aren’t cutting it. This though, I should put on there!
Imma stalk your log and steal music tonite.
Oh and as the queen of the underwear tease I ask advice. If I’m going to let tax guy see me in my skivvies tomorrow, but not take them off. Do I go with something shmexy or stick to simple? I think I’m going shopping today. I have a work presentation and want a reward in the form of new pretty things.
