Moxie for Life

I had to share about this guy at the gym. He’s a sad sight really. I feel sorry for him sometimes. Then I just have the think he brings it upon himself. Today was the topper.

He’s usually just kinda weird. He’s got a very obviously dyed com over…well, actually, comb FORWARD, but anyway-He is very full of himself or self conscious I can’t decide which. His workouts are erratic and strange.

His best move of the day was when he went to the DB rack and got some 40’s. He pulled them off and then ROLLED them to the area he was going to use them. (People, if you have to roll the weight, it might be too heavy.) He proceeds to get on the floor on his back, holds the 40’s, but rests them on his shoulders, bends his feet up in the air and kicks. Sort of bicycle style but smaller. Like a 2 year old throwing a fit. And he counted. I’m not sure what he was counting. He was NOT lifting the DB’s. WTH?

I just don’t know. At least there is entertainment at the gym.

I’m toying with going short with my hair. Whadaya think?

I have been changing up my workouts just for fun and to keep my muscles guessing. If you get Oxygen magazine, you may have seen the plyometrics workouts in there. For the last couple of weeks I have alternated them with cardio. I love it. They are so hard and really kick my butt. It such a nice change from running or elliptical. I usually do my weights, then plyos two days, the third day I do a traditional cardio method. I’m really seeing some gains on my shoulders and arms which is where I have really been targeting. In a couple of weeks, after vacation, I’ll be back with Tony for 8 weeks of comp prep. Can’t wait. I think?

How the heck is every one else?

I won the lottery in the UK! MY ticket (which I didn’t buy) has the winning serial number attached to the winning numbers just picked, in the UK (where I have not been since I was 15)! I’m one of four people. I have to claim my 200,000 pounds sterling asap. LMAO OK people. How dumb do you think I am?

I had to post a quickie…

My daughter (9) let me know last night that when her dad took her to Olive Garden for dinner she stole all the splenda from the table for me. How sweet. I think? I don’thave the heart to tell her I’m trying to quit splenda.

Ok. Back to my corner. I might have to actually turn this thing OFF and put it where I can’t see it. lol

I have to put myself on a time out from this thing. I’m getting nothing done. Email only for at least two days. See you in a little while.

My weekend of fun and food began at the Long Beach airport…

Our dinner was at a latin fusion restaurant where we had amazing fresh guacamole and this…a fancy quesadilla.

That next night we ate at a steak place, neither of us had steak. I had this…

crab stuffed lobster…oh my. so. good.

We spent most of the day at Coney island, so of course we had to have these…

and this…

The place went for Breakfast on Sunday was close for first place meal, I had these…

I forgot my camera the night we went to Little Italy…but don’t worry, I stuffed myself silly there, too.

The last morning was a little deli/cafe right near our hotel…I had one of these…

So there you have it…my food weekend.

And as a finale, a tribute to the feet shots going around (Amyella) …our feet in the Atlantic at Coney Island beach.

Here we are…

We had a blast!

I left my camera  at my sisters so last night’s plan to post my NY pics didn’t happen. So, I thought I’d show you guys my potential 2 piece for my next comp. I was able to sell the two that I bought that didn’t fit, so I can afford at least one new suit. I may just get the one piece altered to fit better and stick with that for the next one. Several people have suggested red for the next time a round so I’m going for it. What do you think? Be honest. I haven’t ordered it yet.

“Right” is my new culture-ism or something like that. In NY that’s what people say. Like in Hawaii, after a statement locals say “yeah?” or in Canada, supposedly they say, ‘eh?”. Well, in NY it is “right?” IE “It’s a beautiful day, right?”

So, all that to say, we had a fabulous time and I’m getting ready to get new carpet so I have to post pics on the weekend. I did a full food journal. So it will be XXX rated for those of you on the T plan right now. Consider yourself warned. I won’t even tell you what the scale said when I got back.

Until tomorrow…

We’re taking off for a few days for a long awaited trip to NYC my hubby gave me for my Birthday  (in March). I stupidly weighed this morning. It only looks to get worse. Cardio better become my friend again, REAL quick. But I’m not going to think about that until Tuesday.

See ya’ll then!
