Finding Myself in Me

You go running through a cemetary? What if someone was getting burried would you run past or what?

Yes. I run in a cemetary sometimes mainly because it's one of the more shaded areas around... and considering I live in Florida and it's hotter than satan's ass most of the time... shade is good...LOL

I am not crass or rude so if a burial was taking place I would definitely NOT run by. The family would have my respect and I would not dishonor their loved one. I'd find a different place to run around... no worries :)
 
Off night

Mondays from 6p - 10p, i devote my head to higher learning. The current class is Quality Management and Productivity and will be done in 2 weeks. I'll then have 12 credit hours to go before graduating so I have a goal there.

However, my goal for the rest of this evening is to bake... a key lime pie to be exact.. and if possible.. squeeze 2 out of the key limes I have.

Cooking/baking is truly more enjoyable than the statistical analysis of processes and procedures in production.

Plus.. the results are edible.. hehe
 
9/15

The pies were fabulous - or so I was told. I didn't touch them except to make them... too many sugars.. LOL

Played on the bike

Gonna guess a 15-20 mile ride.. thru wind and rain, but not over a curb
(took a header into shrubs and mulch..lol)


I'm feeling it ALL OVER today..
It's all good too :D
 
Night times are perfect for a bit of fun cardio ;)

Is the cycling just for fun or do you take it seriously with the expensive bikes and stuff like Todd?

I take it seriously enough to know the value of a solid cardio workout without having to invest a sh!tload of $$ into a bike. The one i ride is good enough.

Regarding night time cardio.... :D:D:D:D and that's all i'm sayin... hehe
 
What not to do...

Neon's advice (to herself) for today:

1. Don't try to do something at your age a 6 yr old can do instinctively.
This is what you're gonna end up with... again

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh... and for all of you wondering what happened... This is the end result of taking a header off the bike and landing on my chin. Can i get an "OWWW!?"


I am fine. The bike is fine, however I am going to be looking for a new/used bike.. one that not everyone else in my household can change up.

Part of the reason for my mishap is due to my son who decided to change the height of the handlebars and did not tighten them.. they spun.. i did not.
 
9-20

Well, i fixed the bike - oiled the chain, lubed the shocks and all squeaky parts, tightened the handlebars and headed back out.

Managed to put in a 28 mile (47km) ride and one of these days i'll actually remember to put on sunscreen.

Currently, the only part of my body NOT burnt are where the clothes & shoes were and two tats. Past that, I'm a crispy critter..lol

The ride was good though... pushed hard the whole time and sweat a lot..lol
 
OUCH!

Girl, be CAREFUL not *crazy! .....lol :D

Glad you got the bike fixed. You sound like you get burned like my hubby. Man, I can 't tell you how many times I warned him about not putting the sunscreen on!

Do I need to put stickies on both your foreheads???? :D
 
busy day

Mondays are usually mundane, boring and downright painful.

Today was so totally against the grain.. kinda like petting a cat backwards.. hahahaha

#1 Had a Doc appt to get shot - twice. While there talked with her about the surgeon telling me i "needed" to have the excess skin removed as a "precaution against further alien development".. hehe.

She also said she'd write a letter of recommendation to have it , and was fairly certain the surgeon was too and then instructed me to find a plastic surgeon in my insurance network.

Things are looking good on that front :)

#2 I was lucky enough to experience another "first" today. I went PARASAILING! and it was freakin awesome!!! Getting pulled along at about 40mph, 1200 feet up... totally cool.

I highly recommend doing this if you haven't already tried and if you have... do it again!!

Left there.. went to the beach and played in the water for an hour or so.. went to dinner where I had my second "first"....

#3 Raw Oysters!! Now i understand why people like them. I discovered there is an art to adding the correct amounts of horseradish, tobasco sauce and c0cktail sauce to make them a bit more palatable..lol

And then....home.

Totally played hooky from school.. hehehe ;)

Sometimes... ya gotta be bad and today was my day.. LOL

Nah... no stickies.. they leave funky tan lines... LOL ;)
 
Wow, that looks cool

And what part of the US are you from, that sea looks amazing, you don't really get bright blue ocean in the UK
 
Sorry to hear about the bump you took. But really happy about the skin removal, that’s going to be something else with the excess gone you are going to feel so damn good I’d suspect!!!

Parasailing hmmm… I have a feeling I’d be the guy dragged along the beach for the funny videos.

I reside in Florida on the West side near Gulf of Mexico - and it looks like that pic around here a LOT!

However - we are in Hurricane Season - so the waters can go from looking like the pic above to this in a heartbeat...

Haha, yeah, that looks more like Margate in the summer

I bet you'd get a lot of British people stood in the sea during the hurricanes wondering why they were the only ones there, even if it was pissing down with rain. We're funny like that.
 
9/23

Sometimes I am a glutton for punishment.

I feel as though i've been running on empty for the last couple of days so what do i do?? Work out HARD of course..LOL

Started with a Pace/Build run. Have a song - What Goes Around - by Justin Timberlake on my ipod that proved to be a good running piece. It's 7.5 min long and has a nice cadence which allowed me to run my longest distance to date; so I was happy with that :)

Then.. on to back, chest & shoulders..

DB Shoulder Press
10lb 3x8

Lat Pull Down
40lb 3x8

DB Flys
10lb 3x8

DB Rows
15lb 3x8

Bench Press
45lb 2x8
50lb 1x8

Mind bender
5 min on elliptical - level 12

Pec Deck
30lb 2x8
40lb 1x8

Assisted Pullups
50lb offset 2x8
42lb offset 1x8

I felt bad because I was not able to work in the reverse flys or the upright rows. The only reason is i am truly tired and i would rather not do something than do it with bad form and hurt myself.

I'll get them in next week
