Sleepover? Yeah, right.

So I felt "gucky" the other day because my little friend was creeping in on me and I didn't realize it. On Friday I burst into tears over absolutely nothing twice. Not that it was "nothing" but it definately wasn't anything to get all weepy about.

Yesterday was Thing 1 and Thing 2's eight birthday. Did I just say eight???? I don't know how that happened. It seems like yesterday they smelled like bananas and huggies and now they're handsome little men. To celebrate they had three friends over for a sleepover. I seriously think they should rename this little event a "hang-out-over" because no one, including the parents, gets any sleep! They were full steam ahead until just after 1:30am. At 5am I hear a bunch of giggling and go back to the gameroom to find them all gathered around the t.v. playing gamecube. I turned it off and made them all get back to their sleeping bags. That lasted about 10 minutes and then I heard them playing Foosball. Ugh. So I go back and tell them, fine, stay up, but you can't scream and yell. PLEASE keep it down. Did I really think I could get another 15-30 minutes of sleep? Yes, I'm blonde, thanks for asking. I gave up at 6am and went down to start breakfast since they all said they were starving. Of course they're starving, they've been up ALL NIGHT LONG. They blew through 1lb of bacon and 15 pancakes in 3 1/2 minutes and off they went. Parents were supposed to pick up at 10am. ONE parent picked up at 10am. The others managed to show up at 11am. All of the boys except one were REALLY good. The one boy I couldn't wait to get rid of.....yep....his mom showed up LAST. Guess she wasn't anxious to get him back either. THAT KID will never be invited back to my house again. I'll save those stories for another time.

So, I haven't worked out, not even cardio, since my killer leg workout on Thursday. Gooooood Gawd were my legs sore!!! I loved it! I'm planning on getting to the gym to do chest and back and some cardio sometime today. We're having a Texas blizzard (which means sleet and ice) so I'll have to see how that plays out. It's suppose to get worse before it gets better but right now the roads are totally fine. Since it was 70 degrees just a few days ago, I can't imagine that any of it would stick. There's no bridges or overpasses between me and the gym so I really have no reason not to go.

OH! And since my little friend has begun to pass, my scale is being nice to me again :). The weight's really dropping off without those nighttime carbs. Man, I'm starting to hate salads though. Ugh.

Glad I Kept My Crutches...


No, I'm not injured again but after my leg workout with Shawn last night I think I will need them. MuscleMomma worked out earlier in the day because we both had a wierd schedule. She wouldn't give me any details but told me it was a whoopin'. So here it is. The first set of lunges in the first set was with a 30lb barbell and you took a lunge step with the right foot, then the left foot, then a squat. That counted as ONE rep. Just so you know.

Super Set #1 (3 times)

Lunges ten down and ten back with 30lb barbell
Leg Press, close stance, 20 reps 180lbs/270/270
Hack Squat wide stance, DEEP 15 reps 180lbs/230/230
Leg Extension 15 reps 70lbs
(only got about 10 seconds rest between each of these)

Super Set #2 (3 times)

Laying Ham Curls
Right Leg 10 reps 30lbs
Left Leg 10 reps 30lbs
Dbl Leg 10 reps 50lbs

Stiff legged Deadlift
115 15 reps

Super Set #3 (3 times)

Seated Free motion calves 220lbs 20 reps
Donkey Calves 180lbs 20 reps

At least he told me he would never do this workout with an amaetur and that I kicked butt! Speaking of my butt.....it hurts!

BLECH, BLECH, BLECH!!

The scale was not nice to me this morning. Blech

I have to do cardio sometime during my crazy work day today. Blech

This IS WHY.....

Everyone keeps asking where I've been, so here's an explanation. This is my desk:

doesn't look so bad except that I was up all night working to try to clear it off and it still has too much stuff on it. Me and hubs started a new business back in September. It's a children's sports program and we new it would do well. It took off like a rocket and is now four times bigger than the children's fitness program I owned previously. If that were not enough, hubs also has a consulting job with Lockhead Martin that he has kept. He was only going into the office on Mondays but has had to go in every single day for the past two weeks leaving the new business to me. In addition, the boys have been out of school so we haven't had to get up so early. The early morning is usually when I post, so since I haven't been getting out of bed until I absolutely have to, there just hasn't been time to post. But now hubs is home and the boys are back in school, so here I am!!

Workouts have continued throughout the holidays and Shawn started our cutting diet this week. Nothing drastic yet, just no starchy carbs after 4pm. I think I already lost a pound of fat this week..yippppeeee! He did a bodyfat test on us and I am sad to report my numbers were miserably off. I will not be posting the numbers as I don't think I can bear to see them in print! Shawn said not to get down on myself because my lean body mass was great (105 lbs). He said on his diet I wouldn't lose any muscle, so I should hit the stage at 110lbs and 5% body fat. My goal was to go in around 120lbs but my summer injury foiled those plans....oh well there's always next year!

My poor little Thing 1 had surgery on his foot yesterday. He had a Plantar's Wart which grew down into his muscle tissue and had to be surgically removed. He looks exactly like I did this summer and has taken over my place on the couch with the pillows. Here he is looking all pitiful:

I let him take the big black boot off while he's playing gamecube. Problem is that he waits until he's about to pee on himself to tell me he has to go to the bathroom! We're working on that.

Last but not least, here's my birthday present to myself:

Me, MuscleMomma, our friend Ann, and my friend Cynthia all went to Kobe's Steak House for dinner and then went down the street to get my belly button pierced....FINALLY. I wanted to get it done during the winter so it would be healed by summer. The pink matches my cute pink Dallas Cowboys p.j.'s perfectly!! I can certainly see from this pic that my BF has gone up. Where oh where.... have my abs gone???

Since I'm now ThirtyEleven, MuscleMomma has renamed me B.A.M. for Bad Ass Momma! I will leave the blog the same though so I don't confuse anyone. Good to be BACK!
