Moxie for Life

Mishap #1: I’m in my new totally hot pants today for work - yeah, size 1, uh huh! 9:30 rolls around. I very non-chalantly get out my shake and begin to mix it up. I’m talking with my students, finish shaking, open the thing up - then something distracts me. “Oh yeah, I was shaking my shake” I think. I begin to shake it again. Holy %$#%…it’s open. Shake all over my hot pants, my desk the kids’ home work. Yikes what a mess. And as good middle schoolers, they all sat there and laughed. Dorks.

Mishap #2: I ran to the tanning salon at lunch and had 10 minutes to eat when I got back, so I throw my fish in the microwave and get out my salad. I finish putting dressing on and pepper, then open up the micro to get the fish. It’s in a baggie. I cook my food in baggies all the time,no worries. I grab the bag and then it happens. I get baggie and no fish, the fish goes flying hits my pants (yes, the hot ones) then the chair, then the floor. Crap. That’s my only food. Damn right I ate it.

That’s what I get for wearing new (yes, and hot) pants to school.

And by the way, I love coffee. More than I ever have. Thank you , God for coffee!

I’ve got pants. Who need’s em? I have three pairs of these exact pants in denim, and light pink, too - Size 6. They are Gap cropped, stretch and semi-low rise. I need to unload some so I can get some new pants. Soon I’ll be in my knickers with no pants left to wear. Any takers, say…$5 a pair, plus shipping? (I’ve got a few size 4’s, too. All with stretch. )

Just got these. Eggs, anyone?

Seriously, who buys a huge tub of egg whites? I guess I do. It is so great. Scoop, microwave, eat. Nice and quick. Maybe some of you want to go in on the bulk deal next time: Buy 8, get 4 free. Wow! We could have egg whites well into the summer. Any takers?

PS. It’s from The Onion

Ok? There. I said it. I went to the Iron Man figure competition and Bodybuilding Pro Finals. It was so fun. I am really impressed with the hard work the competitors put in. I know some of them cannot be 100% natural, but none the less, it is hard work. Those men were huge! And I also saw the strongman challenge. That was fun to watch. The crowd was cheering them on and it was very exciting.

The whole figure competiton was so quick. It seems sad that they(we) put so much into it and snap! it’s over. The girls were amazing (mostly) though and I still want to do it. I just wish there was more to it. I might  compete in fitness sooner than I thought. Even the huge, burly bodybuilders do a posing routine to music. One guy could even do the splits!

Anyway, I’m glad I went. It was a fun day all to myself of totally getting my brain off of anything work or house related.

My mother in law is nuts. How many days until we move? God, give me strength.

I took some pictures tonight, but I’m going to take more in the morning and pick the better ones for Tony. I am actually pretty pleased. This suit is way more flattering than that other floral one that squeezes my butt all over the place.

Here’s the start photos to compare:

I went to bed when I got home from work and stayed there until morning. My sweet hubby brought me flowers, chicken soup, crackers and I’ll confess now, I had a Diet Coke. I haven’t had one in 6 weeks. It was just something that sounded good. It was but I don’t crave it like I used to. Stayed in bed this morning and by about 10am I felt 100%. (I did go to work) So I’m off to do my ab torture in about an hour. I guess it was a short lived thing, whatever it was. Yay.

I feel weak. Nauseated. Shaky. Nothing sounds good to eat. I thought it had passed me by! Dang.

ever have one of those days where eveything is so right on that you cannot stop smiling. Yeah. Uh huh. Today is that day. I started out running my warm up at 5.0 (usually it’s a 3.5),then nearing the end of my workout, one of the regulars mentioned I looked like I should be on a fitness magazine! What the…I’m like “wow, that was really nice of you to encourage me like that!” I haven’t mentioned to the gym buddies that I’ll be competing. We’re not that tight yet. Oh, and one lady was seriously worried about my bench press, that it was too much. I thought I was being a bit wimpy:). I ate so well today, not one craving. (ok, 1 chocolate kiss, sue me.) I got home, jumped on the tready for 20 minutes just in time to run pick up my son.

Got home, ran to tan, got home to make dinner and now I’m off to get Valentines for the kids…yes a bit last minute, but I’m not a big fan of Valentines. Kinda think it’s dumb.

Tony wants pictures this week…so I’m hoping this great day stretches out to a few great days. So, cheers to a great day.

Remind me of this day come June when I’m starving!
