Angel's Mindless Chatter

Mood: Bummed out
Listening to: singing Only God Knows Why by Kid Rock in my head....thanks Shelly!

So yesterday I started working out.  I weighed myself (extremely scary) first so that I can chart it along with pulse and my exercises/reps/weights used/sets.  So I started with my legs yesterday, for cardio I rode the stationary bike for 15 minutes (varied difficulties).  I realized I am way outta shape, I was dyin!  I am sore today, but that is a good thing.  Today I will do some more bike riding for cardio (the treadmill is broken  and I don't think I am ready for the stair stepper yet, I'd be dead after 2 minutes on that thing.  Anyways so yeah it is cardio for 15-20 minutes (depending on how long I last) and then onto my chest.  I will work the machines and free weights.  I was going to do my arms today, but realized if I did that then I would be too sore to do chest and back the next days so I put arms before abs after chest and back/butt.  I broke out my lil schedule  by days so it goes like this:

Sunday - day off (if needed, will be needed at first or I'll die! )

Monday - day off (if needed, see above comment! Haa haa)

Tuesday - Cardio and Legs (at least 3 exercises for legs each time and from 3-6 sets of 10-20 reps each set.  Yesterday I did 20 reps/6 sets for one exercise and 10 reps/6 sets for the other two)

Wednesday - Cardio and Chest (at least 3 different exercises for the chest muscles, see above for complete descrip of rest)

Thursday - Cardio and Back/Butt (at least 2 different exercises for back and 2 different to work on my butt)

Friday - Cardio and Arms (at least 3 different exercises, one for triceps, one for biceps, and one for shoulders,  at least!)

Saturday - Cardio and Abs (at least 2 different ab exercises, I only know a few so I have to study up on this!)

Okay, so whether anyone cares or not there is my "plan".  I've also decided I am going to work out after work or in the afternoon rather than the morning (unless of course I am awake and feel up to it) to try and keep motivated.  My biggest problem was trying to get up early and go to the gym before work.  I figure maybe I will try this afternoon/after-work time and see if that helps as I will be able to sleep if I want to sleep without the pressure of feeling guilty for sleeping then not working out at all!

Other than that, nothing new, just crappy and cold weather around here.  It's been raining like crazy the past several days and today it got way cold (it's been in the 50-60 range and dropped again to the 30's) and has been raining and snowing off an on all freakin day.  The wind is blowing like crazy too...it sucks...I really wanted warm weather for this week.  Tomorrow is my birthday, I will be 1/4 of a century, yeah, kinda old, but still young too...I am no longer going to be in my early 20's .  Oh well, we will see what happens.  So my boyfriend being the very impatient person he is, gave me my present already because he couldn't wait, it was a digital camara....how cool!!! Yeah, I love it.  I've wanted one for a while so I am happy!  I also got a package from my parents yesterday, but I will wait to open it until tomorrow morning at least!  I am curious as to what it is though I will be good and will wait. 

Well other than that just hoping for warm weather.  It makes me all bummed and depressed when it's like this, I just want to be home curled up with a book rather than at work.  I have tons to do at work too so I need to be more productive, but it's hard when it is so cold and gloomy outside.  Well that's about it for now. 

Mood: Screwed up due to Daylight Savings, it usually doesn't affect me this bad, but man I am dead!

Good Morning and Happy Monday ya’ll.  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Mine wasn’t too shabby, but it also wasn’t that exciting either.  Saturday I went to Walmart and bought some tennis shoes and new work out pants, so I can start working out this week at work.  I am actually a little excited about it so that is good!   After the Walmart adventures my bf and I went to his friends house so they could work on his pickup.  I hung out with the kids inside where it was warm.  It was okay, but we were there most of the day.  Then when we got home we watched a movie we had just got at Walmart – Memoirs of a Geisha.  Since I had read the book and loved it, my boyfriend saw it and got it for me.    I enjoyed it. 

 

He also gave me my birthday present early since he has to work on that day (as do I) and he got me a digital camara….how cool.  I was super psyched about it.  He got me a case, tripod, battery charger and extra memory card for it too.  How sweet!  So I played with that a bit, wore down the batteries already too! Haa haa haa….good thing they are rechargeable. 

 

Let’s see, well Sunday we were going to have the kids over, or so I thought, but we didn’t and my bf and I got into a fight about his selfishness and blah blah blah.  We had a good long discussion and then decided we needed a comic relief so we watched Mr. Deed’s which we bought at Walmart for $1.88.  Then he went to get his tattoo touched up, but the people were too busy, and one was being a bitch so he left.  He wasn’t too happy, but that is how it goes sometimes.  Anyways,  so we mostly hung around the house, made  a monster meatloaf for dinner.  We started watching another movie, one that I love…At First Sight with Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino…it’s a great love story as well as an interesting look at blindness.  It’s based on a true story and I suggest that if you haven’t seen it, watch it.  

 

Yesterday and the day before, the guys (my boyfriend and a couple of his friends) talked me into actually putting my newly learned hunter’s safety skills to work and we went out and bought hunter’s license and upland game bird stamp so when the season comes we can go.  Also we went online and registered for tags…..how crazy, what would be crazier would be that I get drawn for a tag.  Anyways, registered for antelope and mule deer so we’ll see what happens with that.  If I don’t get any tags this year, I will probably still go out with the guys and just see what it’s all about.  I’m actually excited about it more so than I was before the whole hunter’s safety course.  Anywho, I can’t wait for the weather to be warm and stay warm so I can go camping and fishing….I have my fishing license too and I can’t wait to catch something with it.  Well I better get going as it is almost lunch time.  Have a good day ya’ll!
