You know those God awful cutesy emails that women send you with blinkies all over them and have cute little messages like how special Tuesday’s are… Yeah? Well, I hate them. Hate is not quite strong enough actually. When I get them I have the urge to gouge my eyes out with hot pokers. Yes, that’s more like it.
The thing is, I get A LOT of them from the girls at work. I keep my mouth closed though because I don’t want to rock the boat more than I already have there. These are the types of girls who don’t have time to vote becuase it interfears with a hair appoitment (OMGWTF?!!?), and who think IRAQ is the new pop radio station, and who think that fake pisture of the tsunami is real. HELLO WOMEN! Juet LOOK at that picture. They are also the type of women who don’t talk to you for three days after you mass email the link to snopes after the FIFTH email discussing that ‘awful pisture’. Hey, it was a really nice, quite, email free three days.
I’ve spoken up enough to realize that it’s a better idea to just keep quiet about things like the precious “God Loves You Because You Are Going To Send This To 1354315 Of Your Friends and if You Don’t… Well, Just Burn In Hell’ emails. I just keep the hot pokers ready in the top desk drawer.
And to end this little rant of mine I leave you with some words of wisdom from the end of one of the emails I got today:
Thought for the day……. There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer’s research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
If you don’t send this to five old friends right away there will be five fewer people laughing in the world

My first challenge has started off very well. The meal plan has been very easy to stick to since I made a buch of food ahead of time on Sunday. For instance tonight after the gym I came home and grabbed a chicken breast out of the fridge, added some veggies (green and red peppers, onion, mushrooms) that I cooked ahead of time to it and had that. The best thing I’ve tried so far is a fruit topping you make by blending cottage cheese, some fat free plain yogurt, a small about of sugar free jello and some protein powder. Cut up some fruit and add that and YUM! Of course there have been bars and shakes too. I really can’t believe how hard I thought this was going to be when it’s really not!
The hardest time for me is at night when I’m used to eating a really big meal. But, I’ve trained myself to NOT eat till I’m full and the portions are really the perfect size to satisfy your apetite. Plus, you know there will be another meal in 3 hours!!
The workouts have been great too. Ben and I did upper body Monday. Chest, shoulders, back, bicepts & tricepts. WHAT. A. WORKOUT! Ben really had me pushing myself.. if I started to give up he’d say ‘What’s your goal?’ ‘ARe you going to just give up?’ ‘Think of the end result!’ At first I wanted to slap him but it really helped! I found myself not giving up and doing that one or two last reps that pushed me FAR into the 10 zone.
Tonight we did cardio. That workout is going to be the death of me. I’m SO determined right now that I’m putting 120% into my workouts. Tonight I was SO close to giving up on the last hard phase and then I had a flash back to my before picture and not only did I up the resistance during my 10 goal time but I started pushing as fast and as hard as I could make the damn eliptical machine go. By the end of that minute I was breating so hard and my legs were SO weak! The guy next to me kept looking at me like he might have to catch me if I passed out. It was funny.
But now as I sit here I think back to that ONE MINUTE and think to myelf, ‘You could have done better. Thursday you need to push harder.’ HA!
I’m sorry all my posts seem to be about this right now but it’s just such a big thing to me! I’ll make a better effort to post about non-BFL stuff soon!
