Topic: RE: I feel strong today!
Oh yes, but it is such a feel good pain!!
Dag yo... man that's some hellish workout with your legs. I LOOOOVE to work my legs. I love to work them into a rubbery mess! If I can't walk right then I know I did a good job.
I have actually been enjoying the upper body work outs more here lately, I like the definition I am seeing in my arms these days.
Next week is going to be a kick a$$ week for me to be sure!

Topic: Stressed out
Did you ever reach the point where you thought you were just gonna snap?
Welp, I did today. I haven't been able to work out, my job is killing me, my kids are all sick at once and I just have had enough!! ARRGGGHHH
My 14 year old has kidney stones, my 15 year old found out she was being deceived online by one of her so called friends...my job is like a tight wire now being that I might not have a job after January... Not that I can't find another one...but having that looming over my head all the time is just nuts.
Calgon take me away....
Actually I feel more like this...
So, I am taking a mental health week next week and I am gonna bust my a$$ in the gym. I am so looking forward to getting my head screwed back on and my workouts kicked up a notch.
Every day baby, and maybe even some two a days. I want to be so sore I can't move!
Man I need it.
Ok, thanks for letting me get that outta my system.
Have a great weekend guys!

Ask me next year and I will! This is a dream of mine. It would be fun to train with a goal. I'd love to pick a nice location and make it part of a vacation.
Sprint Triathlon or Duathlons would be fun too:

Topic: RE: Stress eating??????
This particlar radiology group said I was the first gastric bypass patient they had. This wasn't actually at the hospital but across the street at the physicians office building. They had no idea what to do with me. When she brought out the Barium my mouth dropped. I had to explain to her I only have a 2oz stomach and that I would probably be in the bathroom more then on her table if she makes me drink that. One of the receptionists confirmed what I said. She was 9 months post op and had her surgery at another hospital in the area.
Have a great day at work!!
