gotta love that my ex just texted me saying he loves me. I really love these mind games. No better way to top off a frustrating day than with more frustration. Oh I am going to have a great workout in the morning J I am going to the lake too so I KNOW I’ll be in a happy place and not such a downer. haha.

Dear TOM,

Please get here NOW, because you are like a week and a half late and i am SURE you are the reason that i am in such a BAD MOOD.

Love,
Lizzy

Ahhh..im feeling much better today. I am still a little bugged but I am not sure about what. I think that I might have figured something out today: I often ask myself…”Why do I work out so much? What is all this for? Why am I so obsessed and feel the need to work out so much and so hard all the time?” And I think I might have figured it out. Of course I LOVE being healthy and fit, but I also think that I am trying to fill a void. I think that the fact that I feel very lonely sometimes(I have so many great friends and a good family don’t get me wrong!!) But I have been single now since July without anything even semi-seirous. Sure I have dated around a little bit, but I haven’t met anyone that I really like. I feel like sometimes the only thing I have going for me is the ability to workout for countless hours in a day. It is kind of upsetting, but I am glad I realized it. I think that I will stay very active for my whole life, but I think that once I find myself in a happy relationship, maybe some of the pressure will be taken off of me. That maybe I will have another purpose other than to just manipulate my body into looking how I want it to. Blah….why am I such a debbie downer the past few days??!?! Seriously sorry guys!!! I don’t usually get like this and I am not sure what it is. No more negative talk from me!! I should mention that I have been hanging out with my ex’s very good friend lately. He is a really nice guy, he comes and works out with me a lot, hes funny, all around cool guy. He is very shy, though, when it comes to talking about emotions or feelings and me being the outgoing person I am, I need a guy who can keep up with me. I need someone who can keep me on my toes, and take charge with me. I like to be “controlled”(not in a demeaning or bad way, just in a “this is my big man who takes care of me” kind of way.) I will see how it goes, either way we are good friends and hang out a lot, but I am not sure that I could see myself dating him or anything.

By the way, when I was in English 101, my teacher pulled me aside one day and told me that my writing was “all over the place” and just a bunch of “ramblings that are out of order and don’t make sense” If you ever wondered why when you read through my posts you get lost or have no idea why or where I got my next topic from, well, nobody does. It is the 8^th wonder of the world. This is why I engage in math-related jobs like accounting, NOT writing haha.

 

Boxing was fun this morning and I got a long, hard leg workout in afterwards. Finished up with 30 minutes on the elliptical. I will be headed to work shortly and then I am going to go rock climbing this evening.     Here are my eats so far…

 

 

Blah…I have had a really bad day. Well, not terrible, but just blah. That is the best way to describe it. The day started out pretty good….I woke up at 6:30…ate my oats, AB ½ banana with 1 cup of egg whites on the side and headed off to the gym. My plan to channel my anger and sadness regarding my brother into my workout, worked Haha. I nailed my shoulders pretty good and then hit up the treadmill for an hour to do my incline walking. Sweat-a-thon. I was leaving and I ran into Noel, one of the trainers at my gym. He used to be almost professional in boxing, and really knows his stuff. He is from another country and is a very goofy man, and you would never know he is such an amazing athlete if you didn’t know his background. He told me to go grab some boxing gloves. I was all for it!! He showed me some better techniques/form and then had me doing some combos. There was a lot of punching and ducking going on and it was getting tiring and confusing. I forgot to duck one of the times and I got punched in the face. Hahah it was hilarious if I may say so myself. It gave me a fat lip for a few minutes, but it was all in good fun. It was an excellent end to my workout. Except it didn’t end there. My friends texted me to say that they were going to the rock climbing gym, so of course, I was in!! We climbed for about an hour and a half. It was I.N.T.E.N.S.E. I am getting pretty good at climbing though which is really cool! It is such a FUN workout, I’m telling you all, TRY IT. If you hate exercise, this is something you will most likely love.(Unless your afraid of heights, then maybe not so much lol) But I climbed a 5.10- today which is the hardest climb I have ever done!!! The climbs in this gym range from 5.4-5.13(I think?) I usually climb about 5.8 or 5.9’s. + means a little harder and – means a little easier. So a 5.10- is a little harder than a 5.9 but not as hard as a 5.10. Anywayssss….this is where I got all depressed. My friends were going to barbecue at my ex’s place. My ex and his g/f’s place I should add. Naturally, they didn’t invite me, and I am glad. I would have gone and I would have been annoyed the whole time. I am also frustrated because the other night I was talking to one of my ex’s best friends. He was basically telling me that he likes me and that he had mentioned that to my ex and that my ex was kind of like taken aback and really not comfortable with it. Of course I was glad to hear that and now I am back to thinking about him. But anyways, that wasn’t really why I got upset. I just felt very lonely today. I felt like all my friends were having a good memorial day and I was just hanging at home. Boyfriend-less, and with all the shit going on with my brother AND my mom, I was bummed.

(My mom has her issues and further pissed me off and showed me just how far gone SHE is when I texted her to let her know that my brother had tested positive for pot, cocaine and opiates….her response???”Tell them to drug test your dad.”) REALLY MOM?! She should be focused on my brother and ONLY my brother..not her anger towards my dad. So frustrating.

 

I guess I feel better now that I wrote it out though, and I am not that upset, just frustrated in general. It is a weird day. I took it out on Ben and Jerrys, had half of the pint. 500 worthless calories. So dumb but I don’t care to be honest, because I still was in a good range calorie-wise. The rest of my eats today were healthy. And I am sure I burned a shit ton of calories today. I really decided to emotionally eat haha I actually sat there and thought “im eating ice cream and I dare anyone to try and stop me.”

 

The rest of my eats today were: egg whites, sweet potato, grapefruits, apples, baby carrots, almond butter, strawberrys, banana, oats, and 3 saltine crackers because my stomach was hurting from the ice cream lol. Go figure. I don’t have my little chart do-dad and I am too lazy to make it right now, but it will be back tomorrow!!

Calorie burn for the day: 1537

 

Sorry for the ULTRA LONG post. lol

So my brother has been acting weird lately and today he called me from a weird number complaining about my dad not giving him money or something…turns out the weird number was his dealers house. Long story short my dad took him for a drug test and he tested positive for pot,cocaine and opiates. He is denying using and not wanting help. My dad is going to put himin an inpatient treatment center for 21 days. I am so pissed off at my brother. He has been telling lie after lie and bullshitting all of us and its a slap in the face. At this point I don’t know what to do. So angry. Can’t wait to hit the gym in the morning. Shoulders? Prepare to die.

Hola!! I don’t have too much time, but let’s back up.

Yesterday, I ended up crashing at my sister’s place on Friday night because I was so tired and didn’t want to drive home, so I left at around 6:15am.(I’m an early bird lol) I went to the grocery store and then ate breakfast. I was bored and decided to go to the little gym in my apartment complex to do some cardio. I ended up running 4.5 miles and doing a little bit of abs. Afterwards I decided that I really wanted to go do something(the surpriseeeeee!!!!! JJ) so I did that and then headed over to the rock climbing gym with my friends Jorge and Rick. If you have never done that before, it is SO much fun and an AMAZING workout. I used to go all the time, but you need a partner and I always seem to find people that go a few times and then bail out. Rick and Jorge both bought month memberships with me so hopefully we will be going a lot!! After that, I went to my best friend’s aunt’s 50^th birthday party. I have grown up with this family and I am pretty sure I am closer to her aunts and uncles than I am my own haha. It was good to see everyone. I finished off the night with a barbecue and some Texas Hose Em(Beer pong where if you lose, you get sprayed down with a hose. Yes it is a very hick-ish game haha but we are all nerds like that. No worries I made my partner drink all my beer for me haha ) at a friends house. I only stayed until about midnight and then headed homeeee. Here is Saturday’s over view…..and scroll down for the picture of my SurpRiSe!

And now for the surprise……….

I pierced my nose!!!! Sorry its not that exciting lol but it was for me! And i apologize for the lame pic but i was driving haha. I look angry and focused hahaha.

Anyways…today looks like i am going to go visit my mom and then hopefully some volleyball this afternoon!!! Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

So like I said last week(or maybe I just thought it) I am going to try to incorporate a few mini-treats on 1 or 2 days of the week…whether i am craving them or not…to prevent just going NUTS on one day of the week.

Last night i was totally satisfied with my 1700 calories for the day, but i also knew that was a low number and that if i wanted to have a treat…this should be the day. So i decided to get a mini Dreyers ice cream that I had seen at the grocery store…..

Check these babies out.

Although now i am confused because on the container it said it was 180 calories and on the website it says 210..hmmm…either way…

Perfect amount of ice cream…no temptation to have more(because all you get is your little serving size) and it tastes delish.

All in all..i am very happy with the product and look forward to many more treat nights. I think this will be much better for me than just going nuts on a saturday or sunday and eating 5 bowls of cereal and 3 bowls of ice cream. ya know?!

Anyways…i ate my ice cream and chatted it up at my madre’s house. Then i headed over to my sister/sister’s boyfriends condo and we watched Yes Man. I was so tired by the time it was over that i decided to just crash on their guestroom bed. Woke up bright and early this morning, made a trip to the grocery store….and I have a surprise for you alll……………

BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT 🙂 Because it hasn’t happened yet..but it will happen today…and I will let my pictures later tell the story. 🙂

Ahh its been a long day. GREAT workout this morning. Good day at work. Good cleaning job. I cleaned my bedroom and kitchen. Still need to do the kitchen floor and my bathroom.

My roommate is leaving tomorrow for two weeks and then is moving out for the summer. It will be lonely but also nice. She will be back in August.

Tired right now and deciding if I want to go out or stay in. it is a long weekend so I might keep it lazy tonight and go out tomorrow night. My neck also started hurting again randomly today and I am wondering if a) I hurt it worse than I though or b) its because of this RAINY few days we have had. Hmmmm.

Here is how today panned out……

 

Hello bloggies!!! SO glad its Friday! (even though I have been at the lake the past two days, so I really can’t complain haha) But the weather was rainy and cloudy and windy yesterday, so we were only there for a few hours. Still a good time though!

This morning all I have left to do is biceps for the week, and I’ll top that off with an hour of cardio. I’ll have you know I only did 30 min. of cardio both yesterday and Wednesday!! So I am trying to cut back a bit. Yesterday I was coming in low oncalories again so I basically just stuffed myself up(with all clean foods) to get in extra calories. I know my body needed it I was very light headed during my workout yesterday and most of the day, I know how my body is and it needed some FUEL.

I will post later on, but for now, here was yesterday’s recap…I was WAY low on veggies and way high on fruit…so I’ll have to make some adjustments today!

 

 

Sorry for that little spurt of MIAness. I have been busy and internet-less.

To finish up Tuesday:

I went to my training session with Dae, and I worked out with another fellow first-time competitioner(she is also in the posing group with me). We did shoulders and Dae totally kicked our butts. We went REALLY heavy and did drop sets and it was just AWESOME!! Loved it for sure. After speaking with my trainer and Lisa(the other girl I was working out with who is also a trainer) both of them said that a) I am not eating enough right now and b) I gotta ease up on the cardio! I eat 2000-2200 calories on most days which I thought was plenty, but apparently with all of the working out im doing, Dae suggested like 2800 calories per day!!!!! I don’t know if I can get up that high, but I will try to eat more. As for the cardio, I am going to try to ease up a little bit and do 30-45 min. per day instead of the full hour. He just wants to make sure that I can build as much muscle as possible for these last few months. Tuesday ended with 1979 calories…kinda low but oh well.

 

Wednesday:

I got up and went to the gym. I did triceps on my own and then legs with Dae. He totally kicked my ass once again. This man is a god that is all I have to say. I have never known someone with so much knowledge about muscles and muscle growth….and everything in general I guess haha. I then did 30 minutes of intervals on the elliptical. Then, although it was cloudy and kind of rainy, I headed off to the lake!!! No wakeboarding for me….1) because it was windy and 2) I wanted more than 1 entire day without neck injuries!!! I just relaxed at the camp site(a few of the guys camped there the night before) and then we went out on the boat in the late afternoon and hung out and some people wakeboarded but mostly we just chilled out. The weather was nice since it was drizzly and cloudy. We are heading back up there today too! Here is yesterday’s overview…WAYY too low on calories, but it is hard when im out at the lake all day.

Oh and don’t forget this awesome girl’s giveaway for a free Yoga dvd!!!!
