What Business is it of Yours Where I'm From, Friendo?

Definitely leaner. Not lying.

I see some forearm veins, delt separation and the abs are looking to pop. Ignore that crazy scale.

Noticeable changes looking good, keep at it! Oh and don’t step on the lego’s :wink:

LOL! WHat’s funny is, my son and I made an agreement that I was never allowed to clean his play room. Since I annoy him with my cleaning in every other area of the house, that room was supposed to be sacred.
So he made a mess and I never touched it. He just made a mess for the sake of having a mess, he doesn’t even really play in there.
So one day I was getting anxiety about not having enough chores so I decided since he hasn’t been in there in a month I would clean it.
BAM!
Comes home from school and instantly like WHY DID U CLEAN MY PLAY ROOM!!!
Then he made the EXACT same mess, played with nothing, and just left.
Hasn’t been back in there since…
Not a play room
A mess room, not for play or cleanliness apparently

I feel like I didn’t work very hard today, I don’t know why
Maybe it’s not that I wasn’t working hard, but more like everything felt hard, so I felt like I was being lazy
I usually taken on everything like i’m king
but today I was a whiney bitch without passion mostly
Could be the new diet+cardio, etc… take some getting used to
I don’t know
Could just be where I’m at mentally right now
Tired/stressed/not happy

I was thinking yesterday
Why would someone be so cruel to someone who was so nice to them?
I was patient and understanding/respectful and caring for over a year about all the shit going on in his life.
It was always the Eminem show too, nothing stressful in my life was ever discussed.
It was always
wah wah wah, poor me, I knocked up my ex and now my life is ruined.
Work is stressful, wah wah wah.
Debt problems, wah
Friend problems
Wah
Guess what bitch?!
I had stressful shit to deal with over this year too. I never once took any of it out on you, or dumped it on you, or used it as an excuse to treat you like crap.
I mean gah, and then to just dispose of someone so quickly like they meant absolutely nothing to you. What a horrible feeling.
I feel horrible, and stupid.
Also pathetic
Devastated
Disgusted
Grief-stricken
Disappointed
…
Upset
Heartbroken
Shattered
Crushed
Worthless
Empty
…

Other negative words I’m sure

Well, I don’t know

K, hated everything, Lol.

My workout program needs an overhaul
Two days without my fiery passion and you might as well stick a gun to my temple
Where is THE LOVE
Just gotta totally change up the split
I feel like a wanna-be figure athlete on a wanna- be powerlifter program
I feel big
I want to be small
With secretly huge muscles that come out to play when I lift
BLAM BLIM BLAM BOOM
There’s where they are
Oh, look at that small girl, WAHHHHHH LOOK AT HER MUSCLES I DIDNT REALIZE

That’s what I want
Whatever training program gives me that, that’s what I need to be on.
I dunno, Ill figure it out, I always do.
I also want to implement some kind of, dare I say it, normalcy into my training.

Also, Dana Linn Bailey added some new stock to her clothing line and I ordered a pair of HER PANTS, but a size smaller than me, so it’s like motivation to stop being huge…
They will be here in 8-15 days

Here’s what
Yesterday afternoon Marshall texted me
After us not talking since he told me he was going back with his ex, and shoving it in my face that it was only physical between us and how dare I get all clingy and gooey
Gooey
I was fucking gooey
But anyway, so he texts me
ā€œHey how ya doin’ strangerā€
Except he spelt stranger wrong
ā€œHey how ya doin starngerā€

HOW AM I DOING
ILL TELL U HOW IM DOING
Fucking mESSY IS HOW IM DOING
I spent a week feeling like my SOUL Was being burned from the INSIDE, unable to expel it from my BODY, with nothing to do but just LIe around in agonizing PAIN
I spent anywhere for 4-6 hours PER DAY crying in my closet because anywhere else was too BRIGHT for my weary, tired, DEAD EYES
I MISSED WOrk
My kid stayed with my PARENTS
I HUGGED TEDDIES
Friends came over and sat in my closet WITH ME trying to console ME
THAT IS HOW I AM FUCKING DOING

HOW ARE You!!!
I hope you’re great !!!

I didn’t answer anything back though …
Wtf random text to make small talk, why?
Not needed
Never needed
Not good
Never good

But I digress,
There’s an upside
I feel like I’ve lost the majority of my sex drive
I feel sick about it actually
Don’t want none
Going to swear off men for now
Will be very good for me
Maybe for a year
Right around this time last year was when I started being heartbroken by HE on a weekly basis
I think a full year not caring or thinking about the opposite sex and just focusing on my physique goals/life goals will be remarkably rewarding/healthy

Time will tell
Change is in the works

Deus Vult!!!

K workout planning overload- brain on verge of Xxxxploding

So my not-so-new plan for my workouts will be as follows

Shoulders/cardio
Quads
Back/bi’s/intervals
Chest/tri’s
Shoulders/cardio (maybe ill move this cardio to chest day if there’s time since I don’t want the stepmill ruining both my shoulder days :/)
Hamstrings
Back/bi’s/intervals

Also, I am going to do LESS. I was watching some figure chicks do their routines online and I was like DAMN what these bitches be doin’ for their whole workouts I what I be doin’ for my dang warm up.
My OCD mentality is that more is always better and less is a waste of time.
But increasing volume AT FIRST, can help get you our of a rut, but when you’re at crazier than crazy levels of volume, some times the one place you need to go is downnnnnn.

Yesterday:

cable station one arm rear delt fly SS lean away cable lateral raise w/holds at the top

You’re posts always make me very thankful for google :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice plan. I think less volume could really benefit you for a while. Also, chasing a little boy around counts as cardio :slight_smile:

K so more programming thinkings:

I’ve decided to move on from Dana Linn Bailey and idolize a new lady, Jessie Hildengberg, or something (we can just call her Heisenberg).

I think in too many areas of my life I have a bit of a guy mentality. I read T-Nation all day, and listen to rap music non-stop, grew up playing with all my brother’s friends, watch only action/super hero movies, and I have very few (one) female friend.
I THINK TOO MUCH LIKE A DUDE.
Are any of my thoughts my own?!! JENN I CANNOT HEAR YOU!! You are a woman, for godsakes.!!!

So might not be the most popular opinion, but I am going to make my workouts a little bit more girly, same with my diet.

Not like I am going to do all cardio and eat special K or anything though, LOL .

I also think to make my arms look more the way I want I need to pay more attention to the triceps. I pretty much do like nothing for them because I thought they didn’t matter :s.

Um so today

Chest/triceps/intervals

Smith machine incline chest press
10lbs per side
x 2 sets of 12 (warm up)
20lbs per side

Gonna really work on those

close grip bench

reverse D handle tri ext.
5lbs

Hill sprint intervals x 20 mins

K workout was only like 1hr 40 min including cardio, so I am happy
Gonna always try to remember to keep my rest periods shorter, like back in the old days when I was 126lbs :frowning:

Upon this rock, I will build my church !!!

Me being the rock
My ideal body being my church…
If you didn’t get it
Heh.

K, I don’t feel like I really didn’t do that much, but I was there for forever…
I don’t even know why, maybe it’s cause I felt like I spent an hour looking for the fucking wide D handle thing

CONFLICED about everything in the whole world, that’s what’s up.

It’s like this
You think you’re right about something, or you have this belief in something and you’re almost certain. You believe what you believe is accurate because you trust yourself.
Then you find out you’re wrong, VERY wrong, and then you begin to doubt every decision you make about everything, or every decision you have made thus far.
Well that one thing was super fucking wrong, so how do I know what the hell shirt to wear to the gym today?!
How can I program a workout routine or a diet when I’ve been doing shit for years and never really attained the body that I want.
I think that I do not know exactly where to go from here is all.
But I will say this
As of today, May 5th, it has officially been 12 days since I have texted. And that’s def. progress is something anyway.
ANd sometimes it’s super hard cause I’ll be watching my evening Netflix documentary and I feel so lonely and I just want to be like hey…imissu
But I can’t
And I have to remind myself HEY Maybe at this exact moment he’s with his GIRLFRIEND giving birth to HIS DAUGHTER. How lame and pathetic of me to send a text during that.
Hey… it’s just me, that girl you never had feelings for…how’s the stuff in your life that matters to you…(?)

No, grow some balls. Shut up and watch your documentaries without bitching. :confused:
It’s been about African animals as of late.
Before that it was sex trafficking…

Honestly, I’ve been having tricep anxiety
I forgot that I wanted to put more focus on my triceps
I shoulda done dips or something
I’ll do extra tricep shit on my shoulder day (wed)
I know I will, so that’s the big deal.
Fuck shut up.

In scale news:
I have been losing over 0.5lbs per day
Last weekend (sunday) I weighed 135lbs
As of today I weigh 131.8lbs
Holy fuck the woosh effect I’ve been waiting for
UH HELLO YES BODY I’ve been dieting, thanks for finally noticing.

Today is day 19
Once today is completed I will have gone 19 days without sending a text
Which I will because I already crossed today off my calendar as a motivational tool.

I know I’m a mess of a human being.
Here’s my daily thought of reassurance:
We all have issues, we all have demons. It’s how we chose to fight that separates us.
So I’m hurt, but more angry with myself for allowing the hurt to occur, so my response is to fight tooth and nail to improve my body composition in order to feel better about myself.
I see that as a good method
VS like drug or alcohol abuse
Or fucking around to find replacements
Or throwing bricks through windows and sending hateful drunk texts or something
No, I’ll just sit here and feel upset that I should have done dips
Essentially I am slaying my demons with a sword made out of cardboard
Either they are very strong and I am very weak
Or they are very weak and I am very strong
I mean, maybe they’re children with plastic knives and I’m fighting them with assault rifles. OR AK47’s
PP7
Silenced PP7
Cougar magnum
Laptop gun

Train of thought is officially lost

K one day closer to figure athlete dreams
