Here’s my legs bitches!!

Through all the sufferin’ they be growin’ N’ changin’ N’ shit…

whooooop

I remember when I had tiny, lame ass shoulder’s and I hated them so much, and then magically one day some like, internal sleeping dragon awoke from his slumber and said “SOMEDAY THESE SHOULDERS WILL BE AWESOME, BUT UNTIL THEN YOU MUST WOOOOOOOORK!!!”
So that was the dawn of shoulder insanity day.
Now when I go in to slaughter my legs I try to think with the same “someday” mentality.
They’re not awesome yet, but someday they will be. And when they’re awesome it makes it even easier to tough out difficult sets because you can physically see the results.

On shoulder days I can see how much they’ve changed so it’s no problem for me to do sets until I want to die.
Leg days sometimes it’s like, gah, they ain’t shit, bro.
Gotta wake up that dragon.
Today I asked myself, “what would shoulder day jenn do?”
WWSDJD?!

142

wheeeeeeewfff, feel like I got hit by the workout bus.
A workout bus driven by psycho’s !
Which all happen to look like me, but with different feelings and opinions!!!
Some of them are laughing manically, some of them are cautioning the driver to slow down, and some of them aren’t even paying attention :O!

AKA, I’m tired.

Wow, quite the battle was fought today friends. Do not remember the last time I felt this fatigued and unexcited, ON A BACK DAY TO BOOT!
When you feel all beat to shit, and you couldn’t fathom suffering through a workout, THAT <—!!! THAT Is when champions train.
So I trained…heh.

WT: 121.6lbs !
Honestly, I weighted more than this when I was 16.
So thinkings :
I think I am lean enough to implement a “carb up” once a week.
Nothing crazy…just like one supper a week where I eat a massive pile of sweet potatoes< GAH That’s all I want.
To sleep on a pile of sweet potatoes
A sucky blanky made out of sweet potatoes
Just “too much”. Everything is so fucking measured. Nothing heaps or piles over. 1/3 of a cup, or like 1/2 of a cup of sweet potato.

Or 1/3 but HEAPY and spilling over the line, mentally that would probably be better than 1/2 of a cup that is within it’s range.
And I want to do it on Friday’s cause that’s when people do their partying and indulging.
I dub Friday THE official day when tired champions train and eat too much sweet potato.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST
Hashtag that shit #

Heheh, I think hashtags that almost hit the 140 character limit are missing the point… Or, maybe you’re right and I’m missing the point? If you can popularize excessively long hashtags there’ll be less room for inanity on twitter. :slight_smile:

K so here’s some nothing:

A few months ago I signed up for tinder in order to feel like I was making an effort to find someone new. It backfired basically so don’t get too excited.
But there was this boy on there, we’ll call him Peter because that’s his name, and he went batshit on my ass.
First he starts texting me non-stop, saying things like “you’re more muscular than me, I’m smaller than you, would that bug you, if we were on a date? In public would you flex and make me feel bad?” LMAO
Like, not even a joke… I was thinking holy shit get this person away from me, well, cyberally get away from me anyway.
So I put him in my spam folder and started ignoring his texts.
He still texted like, “Hey, just leaving to Vancouver, can I call you to pass the time? Hey…just coming back from Vancouver, can I call you to pass the time? Hey, just home from Vancouver now.” MMKAY
Then adds me to facebook and messages me on their and texts me at the same TImeeeeeee. ( I answered nothing, BTW)
Hey
Hey
Hey how are you
Hey Jenn
Hey
Hey how’s it going?
Am not smaller than you now, I think I’m going to compete.

HOLY STFU
So one day he messages me “Should I stop?”
I say “Most def.”
He said “Most def what?”
“Stop”
“Stop what, I forget what I asked”
I AM NOT INTERESTED// I DO NOT WANT TO BE FRIENDS// I DO NOT WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU!!!

“Well, I don’t care I found someone else anyway, I don’t see why we can’t be friends though”
“YOU IRRITATE MEEEEeeeeeeeeeee”
AH AH AH!!!
So then he turns horrible and starts insulting me and telling me he doesn’t need a person like me in his life, his time is too valuable, etc etc.

I have never really dealt with anything like that before. Usually guys just treat me like crap or are my friends and we’re equals. Like no drama or bullshit.
I would sooner die alone a thousand times over than have to be on Tinder/P.O.F. ever again.

K, I was grumpy today.
ALl of my reps were infused with grumpary
Not even like tired/hungry grump, just plain ol’ no-damn-good-reason grump.

Oh well.
I think it’s cause I ran out of dental floss actually.

Every night before bed I’d floss and jokingly say to myself, wow, this dental floss is going to last me a lifetime. It’s been like a year…a year me and that dental floss worked together.
THen all of a sudden, BAM, empty.
No warning… how was I to know? I didn’t have another one.
I always have two of everything, or 5 or 6 of everything.
I like to be assured I’ll never run out of that which I value the most. But for some asinine reason I only had one dental floss that I knew could run out any day. Living on the edge I was.
So it ran out and I had none.
Not enough to use…
A feeble attempt was made, but I couldn’t get that grip you know. It was just frustrating.

Tomorrow is a new day.
A day where I’ll have flossed the night before…

But this is what I thought during my mid-workout bathroom break
“Whether or not I feel like I’m totally killing this shit, or this shit is totally killing me, the end result is the same. WORK IS DONE.”

That was the gist of my pep talk anyway.
Jenn, you’re tired, YOU WORK YOUR ASS OFF!!!
Jenn, you feel like king of the world, YOU WORK YOUR ASS OFF!!!

Yeah. No excuse great enough not to put in 110000000000000%%%%

ANd I think like, this is the ONLY chance I’ll have in my entire life to give this particular workout my all. Cause by tomorrow this workout will be long gone and why waste a Wednesday!!!

Lotsa reps, no rest, no bullshit mind drama, just leg slaughterin’ good times.
Good luck walking tomorrow my queen, HEH.

Right before I stepped on the stairmaster I remembered that I forgot to make my bed and the realization made me cry…
LOL
I had to spend the entire 20 mins on the stairmaster reassuring myself that I could handle having to make it when I got home.
Cause I knew I’d have to make it before I could eat or it would bug me too much.
Like srsly, post leg day emotional turmoil at it’s finest.
Good thing I live in my own little world and the president doesn’t care what I do in public!!! (Mostly)

I was thinking about that thread started about different types of people at the gym and their nick names and I’d be terrified/curious to know what people nick named me.

Like, I’m fairly certain my crazy is extremely loud while I’m there.

I want my legacy to be The Greatest Super Setter of all Time.

GOOD.

Enjoyed MA self.

I’ve been more relaxed than normal over the past few days, and I find myself getting into my little OCD cleaning trances/zones that I used to do all the time and had basically forgotten about.
Just simple things where I’d start out by cleaning and sorting out old clothes and I’d somehow end up scrubbing my bathroom tub and cleaning every inch of the bathroom while I’m at it.
My happy place essentially. Where I’m doing that stuff not because I’m stressed or bothered but because I’m happy and calm.

So anyway, in the midst of all that I decided to Windex my car windows instead of going to the actual car wash so that I can save up my change for a really big, ALL OUT car wash in the future (when it’s most needed).
And I tell Gabe, “K, I’m just going out to windex the car windows.”
And he says back
“Well that’s not weird at all!!”
Like totally sarcastic and funny, but really not paying much attention to me because Mario was more important.
So I go out and I’m doing my thing and talking to myself like “this isn’t weird, what da hell he talkin’ 'bout”
And some little girls start walking by and I’m feel insecure (LOL) and I say in my head well whatever, I don’t care what they think of me!!

Continuing on with my cleaning and one of them yells
“HI GABE’S MOM!!!”
Eeps, they know me ! And I get this deer in the headlights look like, uhh…heh…

So she comes over and gives me this blank stare like whutchu doin’ weird lady?
“So…you just cleaning the windows then…?”
“Ya…just…being…obsessive.”
So she rings the doorbell and yells at Gabe through the window to give him some flyers or some crap, but here I thought no one would see me or notice me and then all his little friends are buzzing around, LOL. Poor guy.
At least I wasn’t vacuuming outside or something really odd.

Anyway, I dunno, boring story. I’m like a 90-year-old with the life events I have going on.
Made me smile though.

Walking out from the gym today I thought back 8 or so years, when I was a runner and wanted a figure athlete body. Not knowing at all how to get there, but wanting it SOOoooOo badly.
Never knew I’d be where I’m at today.
Still very far to go…but I’m becoming that which I only dreamed I could be.
WHY <— ^^
I never gave up on me.

There you go friends, never give up on yourself.

Good job self.
Honestly, I think there was zero people in the gym for my whole workout. Or there were a million and they were just invisible to me as I was IN DA ZONE
DA ZONE
I was IN
hmm
Thinking…
Do I have any excess creative juice swirling around inside my head? It sorta feels like it.
A pitcher of Kool-Aid
Lime flavor
What
I don’t know…

Some things I’ve been changing over the past few weeks seem to be really helping me with regards to coping with my anxiety.
Positive self talk is HUGE.
Its amazing what
FUCK U BITCH U DO THIS WORKOUT FOR ME OR ELSE!!! :confused:
VS
I love you Jenn, and I will get you through this workout because I know it matters to you
Can do you for your cortisol levels/anxiety

It wasn’t very long ago that I was considering going on medication because I felt like I was drowning. Though even just simply entertaining the thought bothered me somewhat because I’ve kinda always been an advocate for tinkering around with things yourself and being able to “fix” yourself without the help of meds. Especially ever since I had such a bad experience with them during my school years.
But I was at a loss, and I felt like I was incapable of being a good person or a good mom because my basket-case-ness was overshadowing any redeemable/quality traits I possessed.
Then it hit me one morning like, you know Jenn, you say it’s possible to alter your own brain chemistry, and people are capable of helping themselves with a little guidance, yet you do absolutely NOTHING to try to better yourself. You just stand idly by and let it RUIN you completely. So do something, other than bitch, and if that doesn’t work, THEN consider medication.
So days go by and I don’t even really have a plan of attack, I just started saying nicer shit to myself, putting a positive spin on all of my negative thoughts. And then slowly the negative thoughts became less and the positive thoughts seemed more believable to me.

Or even something as simple as allowing myself to be anxious. It’s almost like I get anxious trying to stop myself from feeling anxiety. Like I get in some kinda mad panic
“OH SHIT U might be almost at a panic attack, calm down, calm TEH FUCK DOWN HOLY CRAP YOU’RE FREAKING OUT AH AHAHH!!”
But instead I’m like
“K, be anxious then. Just be anxious if you must”
So then the anxiety is like Oh…nevermind then. This doesn’t seem all that fun, I’ll go torment someone else…carrrry on.

Anyway, few little random tidbits I’ve picked up along the way of my life journey, heh. For any random lurkers who may be reading this that suffer from similar crap

Cyber huggith you all

Every article I’ve ever read has told me to avoid the dip machine… shearing forces on the elbow and closed-chain-versus-open-chain and just dip if you’re gonna fake dip… and I’ve never cared. Dip machines make me feel powerful.

Ya… There are no bad workouts, only bad mindsets.
Today my mind was being annoying, thinking things weren’t good or I wasn’t working hard enough or something.
Wtf my shit was crazy you silly goose ?!

K but my dream let me tell you O_m_G!!!

So there’s that line in that D12 song right?
My salsa makes all the pretty girls want to dance and take off their underpants my salsa, WoOOWOOw my salsa makes all the pretty girls want to dance and take off their underpants, my salsa.

K anyway

So I had a dream Eminem was saying that, but disguised as a Mexican and it was as if i was only me who could see that underneath it was him.
So he’s saying those lines as this Mexican person and I came up from behind and started hugging him, like I couldn’t let go and I couldn’t stop and it was the tightest most epic hug I’ve ever given. And I whispered in his ear “It’s true…”
AS In his salsa makes me want to take off my underpants
LMAO What the fuck

Wow, some kinda wonderful shit today
Must be because I’m in Klingon meeting preparation mode or something , whew.

Lots of times before I fall asleep I’ll think about how much I want to get out of the gym.
I’ll picture myself at a figure show or just imagine my next day training session and how hard I want to work.
But then sometimes I’ll get there and my tiredness will block out those hopes and dreams and whiney-baby mode kicks in.
Today I made a real effort to remind myself of my goals during difficult sets.
Like, I know this is hard jenn or I know you’re tired, but you really care about this. This matters a lot to you, let’s giverr’ all we got.

Was like a light bulb OH YA I’m HERE FOR A REASON DUH, not just cause it’s “Wednesday shoulder day”

Mindfulness, very important friends, fellow champions.
It’s not just Wednesday, it’s one day closer to being da’ bomb day.
