Step into my shoes….
LOL I started this post like 3 months ago & just now finished it. Oops!
So it’s been about half past forever since I’ve put up any kind of post. Whoops!
This week’s topic is: A Typical Day in the Life of Me!
I’m not even sure it’s really possible for me to answer this since my life is a complete circus 99.99% of the time.
Currently things are “slow” it’s the summer time and so all I have to worry about is work & my training! Seems super simple but somehow it can be quite complicated.
Let’s take today for example:
2AM or 3AM. Go to bed. Why?!? Who knows, lol I was just up!
8AM: my watch alarm goes off every single day! I’m not quite sure why I have it set to this time but I figure it’s a good daily hour to wake up.
I stay awake long enough to sift through all the glorious e-mails I’ve somehow received in the past 5 or 6 hours. Some are from evil places like Coldstone Creamery saying, “C’mon in, who cares if you have to walk in a teeny tiny bikini in front of a judging panel under bright lights & stand next to other gorgeous women!”
Others tend to set up my weekly schedule of appointments, reminders and meetings!! YAY responsibility!
9AM: I finally crawl out of bed and am thankful that today I only have to kick my own butt once since I only have a single training session!
10AM: I start to prep the meals I will need for that day and get all spiffy.
10:30AM: I then often get a message from my manager asking me to run uber important tasks like picking up bags of ice from the store, since I’m apparently the only one capable of such a task! But today at 8AM she sent me an urgent message to call her right back to say I would be needed at 11:30AM, ummm…ok I’ll be there since I’m scheduled to start at 11AM.
11AM: I go to “work.” I once again am lucky enough to sit in a blazing hot restaurant all day smelling delicious food that I can not eat! It’s blazing hot b/c I sit near the oven that is 500* and the A/C is broke! Oh let’s not forget that I schlepp around the city delivering orders too since our delivery driver is incapable of driving within a 4 mile radius. Jealous?!? lol
4:30pm I get off work and make a bee-line for my house! One of two reasons: 1) I’m hungry and want to eat at home 2)I’m tired and want to get home and eat so I can take a nap!
7pm: Today was a lil extra fun since I decided to buy REAL furniture! Yes I’m 25 and have never owned furniture. Until today baby!!!!
Well this was all fun and exciting until I realized the elevator was too small and I had to carry stuff down 4 flights of stairs and then back up 8 flights! oh and let’s not forget the random hurricane that just decided to blow through at this exact same time!
THANKFULLY I met some really nice people that helped me out of the kindess of their heart! 🙂 YaY nice people!
10:30PM: Devour Meal #4 Pre-Workout fuel! Yep you read right it’s nearly the next day & I have yet to hit up the gym!
I let all the carby & protein goodness flow thru my blood and then I go lift a bunch of heavy stuff repeatedly!!
Come home…shower up & get some FOOD!!!
Chill out on the couch and dibble dabble on the net until it’s time to eat again! Yay food, glorious FOOD!!
And then I manage to keep myself mildly entertained before I decide eh prob should go to sleep at some point.
Bed!
BGP’s
Tonight was definitely a BGP session!
BGP = Big Girl Panties 🙂
Some days you gotta suit up and put on your BGP’s and grind it out like someone owes you some money AND just stepped on your dog.
The squat rack was STILL broke phi broke at the big gym so I had to head to the dungeon —->
Today I def had a fire lit under my booty during my AM session and needed a little extra push to finish off my sweatastic Tuesday!
Now at the dungeon there are no baby plates (#2.5’s) well there is ONE but that doesn’t bode well for symmetry. Somewhere someone is getting SWOLE with a single #2.5 lb plate. Watch out folks!!
So I had to make an executive decision in the squat rack either I could finish off with 3 sets of #175 or I could put on some BGP’s and stack em up!
Well I’m a betting girl so I added the #25 plate and unracked it…
So as I stood there with #185 on my back. I had one speed GO!
Moves like Jagger
I busted out 8 reps!!!
Woohoo flying high only #15 lbs from my goal!!!
Oh and I wasn’t done yet. By now i had so much freaking adrenaline pumping through my body in conjunction with a bombass playlist I decided to go for BGP’s Round #2 on deadlifts!
Yes Ma’am [#195 X 10] for 3 sets!
In the mix was also a bunch of scintillating quad & hamstring thrashing but these were my “big” lifts!
Anywho needless to say I was one drop of sweat away from filling an Olympic size swimming pool!
Team USA!!
Shoutout to all my Muscle Building Chica’s out there lifting HEAVY!
