Riding Lessons

    Tonight's lesson was quite interesting, instead of my lesson horse Buzz, I rode Sparky. Sparky is definitely a clown and a goofball, always ready to test me. I didn't have to ask him a whole lot for the trot, he was willing to do it each time where Buzz was a bit more difficult. I can not wait til Saturday's lesson, I am so hapy to be back to taking 2 lessons a week. I stayed later just talking to Jill and her husband which was nice.

Haven't Felt This Great In a Long Time

     Last night I made the decision to get back to the gym this morning, for the first time since Valentine's Day. Last night I also went to GNC and bought the Nutrex Lypo 6 Black "Hers", it is a fat burner. It states to take 3 capsules in the morning, 3 capsules in the afternoon but not within 6 hours before bed (means 7 hours or more before I hit the sack). I took 3 this morning and my protein shake, got to the gym around 6:45 a.m. (I got up at 5:30 this morning "YAY!") and here is how it went:


7:50 a.m. - Treadmill / 15 min / 3.7mph / 4% incline
8:05 a.m. - Hyper Extensions (Back) / 10 lb weight / 8 sets of 12 reps
8:10 a.m. - Walking Lunges / 6 sets of 8 reps / 10 lb dumb bells
8:17 a.m. -  Leg Curls / 5 sets of 12 reps / 60 lbs
8:23 a.m. - Leg Extensions / 6 sets of 12 reps / 65 lbs
8:28 a.m. - Elliptical / 5 min / resistance 25 / 10% incline
8:33 a.m. - Hip Adductor / 5 sets of 12 reps / 60 lbs
8:38 a.m. - Hip Abductor / 5 sets of 12 reps / 55 lbs
8:43 a.m. - Leg Press / 5 sets of 12 reps / 60 lbs
8:48 a.m. - Leg Press Calf focus / 5 sets of 12 reps / 30 lbs
8:50 a.m. - Treadmill / 5 min / 3.5mph / 2% incline


     As you can see, my quality and effort had increased by twice the amount of sets I was doing when I had taken my two week break to start running. I don't know if the Lypo 6 helped or what, but it felt great and I am excited. For the last couple of months I was feeling like I had hit a wall going to the gym and just wasn't excited to go anymore until today. I have been going through fitness magazines and forums to build my inspiration in the last couple of days which I think has really helped.

Donald Trump MIGHT be running for 2012 Presidency

Hell Fucking Yeah, I have not been this optimistic about elections since............... hell since I could vote, and now that I know a real business man is thinking about running for presidency, I really truly hope he goes for it and wins. This man is a cut throat, no bullshit, all balls to the wall business man and we as Americans need that now more than ever. If he doesn't win, I at least hope it gets the ball rolling and opens citizens' eyes about what needs to be done in this country. One man/woman can not change the world, but they can start the movement.

A Better Day Thursday

       This wasn't at a gym but at home. I did core workouts and leg workouts with 5 lb weights on each of my ankles, I did the Plank Position for 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Then a few different crunches (3 sets, 12 reps each leg). Most the workouts I can't remember what their names are, but one was the "mounain climber", and then my own improvised donkey kick. Anyways, I feel great and am still wearing the 5 lb weights.

    Copied from my Strength Training blog, we didn't run today but I am glad for some time to workout. This week I did get back into doing core strength training again, along with the plank position.

First Thursday of March

     It has been almost two weeks since I've been to the gym, I know I need to go but I can not seem to wake up before 7 a.m. anymore and it is pissing me off. I can't seem to have a good night's sleep at all, and I do not know what is causing it, other than the fact that Cameron doesn't come to bed until almost 1 a.m. Next week I am going to add a lesson, probably on Tuesday and Thursday because Aerobics is on those two nights and I don't have school next week since it is Ivy Tech's Spring Break. I can stand this one lesson a week bullshit, I am so sick of not getting shit for being stuck in that office and working for free while Ethan gets a $100 every week, hell if Steph were in the office she would definitely be getting paid! This is bullshit, sometimes I seriously think about looking for an actual paying job but I know I might as well have my shit packed and ready to go if that ever happens.

Wednesday's Hump Day

      Fuck that asshole, I am so sick of being treated like some low down stinking piece of shit by him. At first I thought it would be awesome to have him as a running partner but now..... I could care less about what he does and I do not want him as a running partner. How the fuck can I run with a dick that sees me as some worthless servent of his? A running partner is someone who sees you as an equal and is there for you, just like a spouse should be, but no that is not the deal with this egotistical asshole. I can honestly say he has a God complex and needs therapy really bad, I am so sick of feeling like shit and being made to feel like shit because that makes him feel so much better. From now on I run by myself, I do just about everything by myself.

     About an hour later: looks like I am running with him, at least for now. I won't push him anymore on it though, on days that we should run, I won't say a word. I will just go and do my run either in the morning or evening and not even worry about him, if he decides to go run, that is fine but if he doesn't then that is even better.
9:00 pm: Same day, slightly a different attitude now. I am not going to delete or edit this post because looking back on it will remind me of my venting. He can be so aggravating and just mean about everything, that it makes me rethink a whole lot of things, but of course that is probably what he wants and hopes for. I really do want him to be my running buddy but he's even admitted that running just doesn't excite him like it does me.

Today Blows Major

   This whole day has been pretty crappy, it looks like I won't be running..... AGAIN, and the customers of our business have been just aggravating nonstop and just calling and calling. What makes this worse is my riding lessons are on Saturdays and once a week and so I have nothing that really makes my day now. This sucky ass weather has been keeping me from running (yes I know my grammar isn't good, but I don't care) and so I feel pretty caged and claustrophobic. God this day hasn't been great, and English class tonight which hopefully will be better than today at work has been.
