What NOT to do at the gym

Since I've been going to the gym just about every day for a month and half, there are so many things I witness, that I truly don't want to. I am just going to list them. Some are just to make you laugh, but they are TRUE!

1. Men: Why do you find it OKAY to fart around everyone and act like its nothing. It's disgusting and foul.

2. Please wear deodarent. There are times I have to get off my machine and switch because you smell THAT BAD.

3.  After your huge sweat session, WIPE OFF YOUR MACHINE! It's just gross!

4. There is no need to walk around the gym with your chest held so high it looks like your have a stick up your ass. We KNOW you have muscles.

5. STOP staring over at my machine. WHY? Because you think you are doing better than me? That's fine. I didn't know there was a competition.

6. WOMAN: Why do you leave the bathroom sink completely flooded with water? It takes 2 seconds to wipe it up.

7. WOMAN: Flush the damn toilet. That takes less than 1 second. Seriously?

8. MEN AND WOMAN: STOP wearing shorts that are TOO short. I mean girls, if you have nice legs , I am all for showing them off, but not when they are riding up your ass. Men, I just don't want to see your legs.

9. Jeans? at the gym? With timbs? WTH?

10. Take your gold chains off, it makes no sense to have them on.

Alright I am done ranting. I just HAD to get that off my chest. haha

Not My Best

Today was certainly not the best...

First off, I didn't wake up until 1:45pm, which totally threw me off my entire day.

I don't even know why I woke up so late, I went to sleep at midnight. I can't stand myself sometimes!

I got new running shoes yesterday!

They are super comfortable! I bought them at Lady's Foot Locker. The woman that helped me pick them out was very helpful. She knew her shoes! ha ha. She even sold me on these insoles that go in the shoe. Makes them ten times more comfy than they already are. The shoes were on sale for $89.99. Way more than what I normally spend on sneakers. I usually hunt around at Kohls, Sears and sometimes Famous Footwear. I figured that since I would be spending half my days in them, they should last a while.

Sadly, I did not get to the gym today. I am a tad upset with myself, but yesterday's workout wore me the hell out. I did shoulders and back at Gold's Gym and then met my friend Kenny at Lehigh Parkway and we walked for 2 hours straight, hills and all.

So I just made sure that I still drank my 8 cups of water and kept eating at a minimum. I walked around for two hours today, so hopefully it isn't too bad...

I went to Express today and got SUPER cute workout clothing! I'll have to post photos of them then! I am so excited to wear them. Then I made my way to Wal-Mart for a few odds and ends. I also picked up some HEALTHY foods which I am going to share in a post soon.

Then I had the intentions of going to the gym, but it was PACKED, and I hate going to the gym when it's crazy. I also planned to get a pedicure so I went and did that! (Atleast my legs got a massage to run harder tomorrow, right?)

While I was waiting in line at Wal-Mart I was behind an older man wearing a National Guard jacket. Let me tell you, ever since I have had this "idea," I see signs everywhere. He told me not to worry about bootcamp. ha ha, yeah about that....

More posts soon....

Monday...Oh Monday!

I figured I type up a post since I am waiting for my Ipod to charge so I can hit the gym!

In the meantime I am drinking my pre-workout drink - SuperPump 250! Helps me work out harder! It is almost gone and I am actually going to try the BSN No Explode in Lemon Lime.

Forcasted workout - - Bikini Strap workout by Toneitup!

https://www.mcssl.com/content/155119/Fitness_Programs/bikini-strap-workout-bikini-body.pdf

I made a calendar of how many days I have left until weigh in!

36 Flippin' Days!

I downloaded some more music for my workouts. I found that I do my best listening to Killswitch Engage! Just enough to push me further!

On another note:

I totally fell asleep last night (morning) at like 4:00am. Horrible! I just couldn't fall asleep, so it kind of screwed me up today. I'll be at the gym later than usual, but it's okay!

My job hunt is still going slow. I am going to contact Ulta today to see if they got my application. I would LOVE to work there! What girly girl wouldn't? It's like make-up headquarters!

Plus, I'm going to need money soon!

I've become REALLY addicted to blogging. It's a tad sickening. haha. It's just so much fun to type about stuff and do reviews on products. On the other end, I have found SO many blogs to read!

Okay, I'll end this, most don't like long blog posts...

well atleast until I have more followers....

Until later.............

Not a Bad Friday

Happy Friday (well it's almost over...) So I guess happy weekend everyone!

I had a pretty boring breakfast this morning...

I also took my two chewy multi-vitamins. I need to purchase some CLA vitamins...

I guess my breakfast was sufficient.

I watched and episode of Army wives during breakfast. I am so addicted to that show! Sadly enough I am on season 4 on Netflix, and I believe season 5 is on TV now, and I don't have cable..booo

I truly believe that pre-workout supplements do me wonders! I prefer to take Jack'd prior to working out, but I still have a container of Super pump to finish. It gives me a jolt of energy to push through my workouts and it doesn't give me jitters.

Completed 15 sit-ups in 2 minutes. Omgoodness I have a ways to go!

18 knee push-ups in 2 minutes.

I did not do any running, my shins are quite sore! I stuck to the elliptical today and did shoulders and back. Was feeling great! I did get a tad light headed at the end of my workout but I think it was because it was awhile since I last ate. Again, water intake=8 cups :)

Took an hour nap today after the gym. It felt nice.

I found an AMAZING inspiration! Check out her facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/beautybroadcast?sk=wall#!/pages/Bridget-Nicole/178718605514077

She lost a HUGE amount of weight all on her own! No trainers!

Well that's all for today, I have nothing to rant about!

Oh Thursday...

Wind, wind and um more WIND! All night and all morning until FINALLY we got hit with a down pour and some thunderstorms! I was even informed of a tornado warning. Geez.

Once everything calmed down I was ready to head to the gym! I did my first sit-ups set today. I completed 25 in 2 minutes, with my feet under the couch. Not bad for my first attempt. Eventually I shall have to do them without my feet being held down!

Made it to the gym, did a 10min warm-up on the treadmill, 30min weight training (biceps and triceps), and then I did 3 miles on the elliptical. (410cal, 33:00min) Yay!

I spent about a half hour chatting with my mom in the parking lot. I had missed her call, so called her back. Just talking about birthday plans for my Dad! Umm pizza, beer and a birthday cake! lol

Made my way to Wal-Mart again to get some more workout clothing!

Yup, the only colors you'll ever see me in, except for the occasional purple and maybe sometime in the future greenish,tannish brown ;)

After Wal-Mart I went grocery shopping at Bottom Dollar Foods and Giant. I spent $70.00 for two weeks worth of breakfasts, lunches and dinners for two. I am getting better at this!

Surpassed my 8 cups of water AGAIN. That may get annoying, me announcing that all the time, but it is a HUGE accomplishment. lol

I am now making dinner and waiting for the fiance to call from work <3

Byes!!

Odds and Ends

I went to Wal-mart today after my dreadful sprints, hills and stairs workout. haha I needed to get a paper shredder to clean out my bill folders, it's just all piling up! Here's what I got:

Just a few workout items. Got all three things under $20.00! Love sales!

Today will be the third day that I have consumed 8 cups of water! I am so proud of myself no matter how small of a matter that is! My shins are beginning to get sore so I might just head to the gym tomorrow and do some biking or hop on the eliptical. I don't want to hurt myself.

I decided that I am not going to weigh myself until June 30th. I am hoping to be down 15-20lbs. We shall see.

Maybe I'll write later if anything exciting happens.

BYES!

What A Beautiful Morning

Ah yes, RAIN, I love rain when I have nowhere to go. Its so comforting and gloomy. BUT then the sun eventually started to shine, so I had to get motivated and do some things. Blah. I did make it to the gym for a complete hour today, 3rd day in a row! Then when I got home a took a walk around the neighborhood because I needed to mail my Netflix movie back. Funny thing I viewed on that walk was an older gentleman on the other side of the street holding a Netflix movie too. What are the odds? ha ha

Home bound I was for the rest of the day. Chatted with a few individuals but nothing to keep me occupied so I made myself some lunch, ate a few cookies I baked and watched The OC. I wish I knew why I am so entertained by that show? I am almost finished with kitty cat tissue box cover! A few more chapters were completed in my Photoshop book, but that gets boring really quick. I have yet to start my medical terminology book. See this right here is why I don't go to school. I can't do things on other people's time. I don't "procrastinate" I just have to do it when my mind is right. I can't be forced into it.

I've been tracking my calories on this App on my Droid called My Fitness Pal. Its been working really well. I can track everything, workouts, food, water etc. We'll see in two weeks when I go back to the doctor if I lost any weight. I hope at least something.

I think I am having some paranoia right now because every pain I have been thinking I am dying from the new medication. I'll call Toby and ask if something is normal, ha ha. He just tells me the answer he knows I want to hear. Got to love him <3

Seeming that I've told my whole life's story today, I am going to head off to la la land.

Hugs & Kisses,
Miss Frantic <3

First Day For Change?

Well this is my first official day of (chosen) unemployment. My mind could no longer handle the useless garbage I was hearing on a daily basis. The timing felt right, and I just need to make sure I use my time wisely. I do feel that this is a better decision then losing my mind completely, that would be embarrassing.

What did I do today? Hmm well I felt I was pretty productive. My mood was positive and I finally felt some energy. Though this does happen from time to time when I am on top of the world for a few days and then I crash and hate everything/one around me. Horrible right?

Well I finally sat down to eat my breakfast and started my "anti-depression" medication. It is told that I may be a manic-depressive person, well what the hell? No side effects so far, so we are doing alright. Then I wanted to go on the Internet to check my Facebook (its disgustingly addictive) BUT my Internet was down, so I chose to go to the gym early. Did about thirty minutes on the treadmill. Baby steps for me, I am just getting back into it.

Then I went to the post office, I officially know where all the old people hang out when they are not bitching and complaining! Ha!(inside joke from where I used to work.) I love nice and sweet old people!! Then I visited the Allentown Bartending School. It may be a new direction for me, but nothing is set in stone. Lastly, I took a trip to the grocery store. All I needed was a jar of brown gravy, and I walked out with gravy, 3 boxes of mac & cheese and some bagel bites. Yummy. Not the healthiest choices, but good in moderation!

Of course I spent some time crafting and watching The OC. Only two episodes today. Even thought I have probably seen all the episodes about 20 times. It's my guilty pleasure. I have also gotten a hold of Photoshop CS5 and have a book that is teaching me some tips and tricks. Got through chapter 3, no too bad. I did make dinner tonight. Some homemade meatloaf, noodles and corn. Toby enjoyed dinner, he always does when I actually cook. I even did a load of laundry. Them we started a new show; Dexter, since we got our Netflix back. It's okay. Toby said it best; "It is like a cross between American Psycho & Nip Tuck."

Well I set a bedtime for myself, and I want to stick with it. I think I need to have more of a steady sleep schedule to help with everything so I chose 12-8am. We shall see how it works.

Love & Hugs;
Miss Frantic <3
