    Ay.

    Saturday, July 3, 2010
    It's been a long time since I last posted. Mostly because I've been dabbling here and there with wedding stuff, suffering with a bladder infection and oh? four day string of migraines so bad I'm still recovering.

    I can't wait to see the doctor on Tuesday. I want her to put me on crack or something, I don't care, as long as I don't have these fucking migraines anymore.

    They take over my life.  I remember in college I was always nervous and stuff because I never knew when I was going to have an attack and have to back out of plans with friends, and work and such.  I worked my ass off at the bay, but I know they thought I was a nut case, seeming I had these migraines all the time, and had no explanation as to why I was having them. Sometimes I got the feeling they thought I was bullshitting.

    That's why I ran from the toilet to the front office for a little vomit action here and there. Because I was faking.

    But regardless...its really become retarded. I can't spend two seconds with Nicole without being bombarded with a migraine. I think its either the excitement of seeing her, or she stresses me out. Not sure which it is, but this is the second time it's happened, and I'm starting to feel a little connection.

    Secondly, they are SERIOUSLY fucking up my workout schedule. I haven't gone to the gym since TUESDAY. I'm fucking dying inside, and I just can't go to the gym. I had a migraine on Tuesday, took some drugs and managed to go to the gym, but I regretted it afterwards.

    I now, will stay out of the gym this weekend, for fear of kicking up some more migraine symptoms, and go back to the gym on Monday.  That means I lost two session days with my personal trainer, which in turn means I'm set back two days in my lossweightforyourgoddamnstupidwedding plan.

    On the up side, Adam and I went to the movies tonight, a whole hour and forty minutes early, thinking we'd have to wait in line for Eclipse, only to find we didn't have to wait, there were lots of seats.

    At that moment I felt like I lived in bumfuckidaho because from what I had read, the theatres couldn't get rid of all the tweens gushing to watch Eclipse.

    BTW. Jacob is fucking SMOKING in this movie. FRIGGING love that he spends 90% of the time sans shirt. YUM-OOOOOOOOOOOOO.
    Anyway, I'm heading off to bed. I've had too much stimulation today too close to bed. God damn sparkly vampires and seriously drop dead gorgeous 17 year old wolf men. *drool*

    PS. I'd love to run into his fine self in the dark in the middle of no where. OOOOOOOOOOOOH lord. He could turn lesbians straight. LOL. Minus Nicole, I'm still working on Kat. lol.

    Day 6

    Thursday, May 13, 2010
    Today was pretty awesome, except I drank to much water before my work out, and when I went to row on the row machine, all I could feel, think of etc. was my sloshing stomach.  It was like I was seasick or something. I could do anything else, but I think it was the back and forth motion that really was making my stomach contents slosh. It was not cool.

    Here are some pictures of what I do. I'm to lazy to type.


    Day 5

    Tuesday, May 11, 2010
    So today I found that I am defintely gaining strength and endurance, but don't get me wrong, I won't brag, as I'm still as feeble as an 80 year old and as balanced as a chronic alcoholic.


    I think I confuse Lisa with my whole bunk ankle issues. I think she's baffled by my inability to bend my ankles at all, not to mention my knees are very weak as well.

    BUT! I feel a lot better while working out, so I know I'm getting stronger.

    Not sure what else I can update you on, other then the fact that I ate cake on Saturday and I feel bad about it.

    Bad cake. Blame CJ, lol.

    Day 4

    Tuesday, May 4, 2010
    So today on day 4, it was a big push session. I don't think I've ever sweated that much in my life. It was gross. I didn't even know my head sweated? lol.

    I know it sounds silly, but I really am one of those people that just ... doesn't sweat a lot.  I don't have to worry a lot of the time about even wearing deoderant! I still do wear it because I'm afraid I might prove myself wrong and start smelling like a pig pen, but regardless. I'm not a sweat-er.

    We pretty much did the same kind of routine we did last Tuesday, and it was a really good work out.  I can tell that I am getting better and building more stamena and increasing my strength as I can now row 500 meters WITHOUT wanting to die, unlike last week, I thought I had already died and that the rowing was my form of punishment--in hell.

    Lisa has been pretty sick lately, and I can tell that she is just really really exhausted which makes me wonder if she is pushing me as hard as she can. I know it sucks to be sick, I've been there way to many times before, but I just hope she feels better on Thursday so I can get the full extent of her rath, lol.

    Will post on Thursday!


    toots,

    Day 3

    Thursday, April 29, 2010
    So end of day 3 today, and I can say that I am feeling much better.  It seems that Steph was right about the whole "keeping active" while experiencing DOMS. I actually felt really good after my workout and now that I've been laying on my ass for a couple of hours, I feel like poo.  So I guess activity is the way to keep the DOMS pain down to a minimum.

    We did mostly upper body today, which was a reief as I was frightened I'd have to frigging do more squats that would rape my thighs some more.... we did a few things like burpees (but I had a little step instead of doing the full burpee down to the floor, I'm a novice) plyometric jumping (not a jump squat, I ain't that fit guys) lat pull downs, leg lifts, vertical rowing, and the rowing machine (horizontal).

    All in all, I rowed about 1000 meters yesterday, and lord help me. I felt it. The first time I did 500m right at the start, and I was so angry and mad that I almost cried when I was done. I so couldn't breathe or talk or anything I was just like, fucking little blonde thing! COME CLOSER I KICK YOU.

    I know she meant well, but, I almost went green giant on her...or ....hulk. Whatever. I was angry enough when I got to the gym, lol.

    Over all, it was a great work out. I then came home and we had fried haddock with asian seseme salad, broccoli and green beans, I was stuffed like a turkey and I happily laid down and died.

    Just kidding. I didn't die.

    Dear god

    Oh man. Oh man. OH MAN.

    I am in SO much pain! I swear I'm sitting in this chair, and wondering how the hell I'm gonna get out of it!

    I guess that means my workout was a good one, although I have a feeling I might have pushed myself farther than was neccessary.

    I have serious DOMS issues right now (Delayed onset muscle soreness) clearly.  It almost kills me to sit on the toilet! And don't even ask me to explain HOW I actually get off the toilet.

    We will see how I feel tomorrow. I will have to email Lisa and ask her what she thinks. My legs are buckling and I'm very scared to walk because my legs just tend to ...go boom.

    On a brighter note, we've booked a venue for our stag and doe. It's going to be on a Friday which is good since summer season is coming and it might stave people off from going to their cottages until after our event.... heres to hoping!

    Its at the Moose Lodge in Kitchener, on June 18th starting at 8:00pm. 

    We're doing a bbq, along with tons of games and great prizes, and we can't forget the booze.  The fun thing is, with every drink purchase, the bride and groom get a portion of the proceeds! I think thats pretty awesome. 

    So, drink up drunkards.

    Anyway, I gotta go, try to get groceries or walk or something. I'm dyyyyinnng.

    Day 1 of Hell and Torture

    Tuesday, April 27, 2010
    Oh Lord.

    So today was my first "real" session with my personal trainer, Lisa, who happens to be pretty awesome and very encouraging.

    I pretty much got to do squats for the first time ever, since my undergrown achilles tendon doesn't let me bend down appropriately, but she found a way for me to do it without a ball!

    Basically I did like 10 of those, 15 leg curls then I did 250meters of rowing, then we did 10 pushups, then 15 more leg curls, then 250 more meters of rowing, then 15 lat pull downs, then 250 more meters of rowing..... I think.

    All I know is that I had a hard time walking down the stairs by the time I left the place.

    My training sessions are only and hour, and I think I'm very happy that is the case. I feel like I've been mortally wounded.

    On a brighter note! Adam got Employee of the month! yay him! We're going out to dinner at East Side Mario's, and my body is wrecked, so I decided I deserve pasta. The end.

    Will let you know how it goes. OUCH.
