Ouch!
My butt hurts. Well, actually my glutes hurt. As do my thighs. No, not from wild monkey sex (ahhh, wild monkey sex.....what's that like? I've forgotten). I worked out with one of the trainers last night. She developed a new workout routine for me and as we talked she mentioned that she thought I was working out too hard. Then we ran through the new routine. I don't quite know how to tell her that the old workout was a piece of cake compared to this one. I mean...a Romanian Deadlift??????? It even sounds hard. My muscles ache and I only did 1 set of the new exercises. Someone get the Advil. Please.
Please.Stop.Head Exploding. This whole Anna Nicole/Britany Spears media circus is frying my brain. As much as I try to avoid it, everytime I turn on the TV or check a news website it's the lead story. Do we not have enough drama in our own daily lives that we have to thrive on someone else's? For once, could we just...for a minute...not care about the probate matters or shaved heads of celebrities? For 3 or 4 seconds......please.....could we focus on a real issue?
1st Beaver spotted in NYC in over 200 years. Ok, make your own jokes.
The issue in Texas regarding parents who are upset about the HPV vaccine mandate because they either (a) don't want to (or don't know how to) talk to their kids about sex or (b) think it will give their kids free reign to have sex made me wonder...Why are so reluctant to talk to kids about sex? It's not like they aren't going to do it if we don't tell them about it. I remember my mom's version of "the talk" consisted of handing me a book. I could make a list of all the things I had to learn about sex on my own (that didn't come out right. lol). Wouldn't it be nice to put some actual facts in their head before they go down that road?
I think I'm done rambling. Have a great weekend!

I've been trying to readjust my own exercise routine 'cuz I hit a wall. Then I over-trained. Now my ass hurts, too.
Batshit celebrities reassure us that we're not crazy.
Beavers... too easy.
Texas... well, it's Texas.
Have a good one!
Me too! I am so tired of the media outlets and their belief that most of us care about celebrities. You want the awful truth. Sooo many actually DO care about celebrities. Here's what I think:
Fuck Anna Nicole Smith and her insane irrelevant circus.
Fuck Brittany Spears.
Deadlifts actually utilize about 90% of the muscle and skeleton in you. Excellent choice of overall strengthening lift. Stick with it!
Rick - Try Advil. Works wonders. True about the celebrities. It does provide a distraction.
7 - Well, I think it's a good example of what can happen when you let your addictions rule your life. But 1-2 stories about it is enough...move on!
The trainer put together a really good routine. Good combo of machines, free weights & exercises. She's really good. I'm thinking about training with her once a week...after the soreness goes away!
Have a nice weekend!!!
Celebs should be seen not heard.
I am working this Saturday too :((...
(1) Sorry about your butt. I suppose you want me to kiss it and make it feel better?
(2) I try to avoid celebrity headlines, but of course living here you can't. If you don't see it on the newstand, or on the ticker at Times Square, someone with a video camera is sure to walk up and ask your opinion about Spears' new look (I told the interviewer that she was probably auditioning for the role of Popeye).
Of course, I belong to a number of news forums, so I couldn't escape when several wire services announced Spears' death last Thursday. Even Wikipedia had mentioned it.
Funny. The woman's still alive, kinda. Yet this is the fourth time someone has reported her dead. I wonder what that means in terms of media theory.
(3) I've spotted beaver in NYC many, many years ago. That headline's just not right.
A few years back (late 1990s) we had a problem with coyote infestation up in The Bronx. As developers expanded into more wilderness upstate, the coyotes became displaced and travelled south where they could find food in dumpsters, etc.
Unfortunately, the coyotes came without warning. City officials only began to notice after santitation workers complained about the growing number of empty ACME boxes piling up outside Yankee Stadium.
(4) Perhaps an education program will convince young women to take the HPV vaccine upon turning eighteen, whether their parents approve of it or not. Cervical cancer is no joke, and it's not a way I would like to see my daughter die (that is, were I fortunate enough to even have a daughter).
Way to go for you --exercising like a banshee!! (Now if I could just get myself back in gear!! I need a swift kick....)
I agree with you and the commenters---the world is SICK and tired of hearing about these Celebrity Bimbos. (I am sorry Anna Nicole died...but let her rest in peace!) Especially the Brittany's, Lindsays, & Paris & Nicole. There are more pressing issues to address people!!!
SJ - Ewwww....working on Saturday sucks!
X -
(1) I wouldn't go that far...but a massage would do nicely :)
(2) lol...popeye. I know in rehab they generally deny you access to the outside world but I'm kind of hoping someone lets her see those comparisons between herself and Anna Nicole in the hopes that she would realize the path she's currently on.
(3) Many, many years ago??? Has it been that long? ;) As for the coyotes, you would have thought the increase in roadrunners would have also been a clue.
(4) I agree that cervical cancer is no joke. It's a subject dear to me from my own experiences. 80% of women in the US have or have had HPV. It's the most prevalent STD. However, even I am a little leary of the vaccine. Not for moral reasons but because I question the long term effects which I don't feel have been sufficiently studied from the information I've read. And therefore, I question mandating its use as was done in TX. I also question mandating use of this vaccine when there's been no talk of mandating any other type of preventive care...mammography, Pap, colorectal cancer screening, etc. all of which are effective forms of early detection.
I was going to devote an entire post to this issue and maybe I should have to better explain my stance. I still think having frank discussions with our children (and our partners) about sex and our own sexual history is important. There's a stigma in this country that STDs only occur to people who don't take care of themselves or sleep around. Removing that (through education) plays an important role in prevention.
RG - Hey, girl. You snuck in on me. Since this will be my first full week of this new exercise routine, I'm a little scared of whether I'll be able to walk by the end of the week or not. lol. Good news is I've lost 2 lbs. since I started it!!
As usual, the media has ran this issue into the ground. It's a sad commentary on this country when celebrity gossip takes precedent over government matters. Especially in a time when it appears that matters in Iran are heating up to the boiling point.
I am sick-sick-sick of the celebrity crap too. I've been pretty much incommunicado for the past few days and I STILL have to hear about it on the radio. Ridiculous.
Keep up the workouts, it'll be worth it in the end!
My Mom never talked to me about sex (babies were brought by the stork, heck hens just about didn't lay eggs!) but I plan on being much more open-minded and have common sense with Madison.
but just think how firm you'll be after picking up all those Romanians. ;) i'd choose the gymnasts, they are a lot lighter and smaller than your average Romanian, IMHO.
on a serious note, i have quite frank discussions with my kids about sex, they're 16 and 13. i figure i'd rather they hear it from me than one of their friends.
as for Anna and Brit, makes my life seem like a fairy tale. ;) i just change the channel.
Cakes - It seems we can't outrun it. I'm thinking of buying ear plugs.
As for the stork, I understand. It's funny growing up on a farm, it was obvious that the animals did it. It was even a topic of conversation about which cow to breed when to have a spring calf, but human sex was never discussed. lol. We're such silly creatures, really.
JD - lol. gmta. I figured I'd start with the gymnasts & work my way up. Besides, they know how to tumble if I drop them.
I always figured you'd be the "cool Dad" in addition to the other name I always call you. ;) I'm glad you've been open with your kids. They can smell a con job a mile away. As much as they squirm, I really think they appreciate it when we're just honest with them.
Stick with those Romanian Deadlifts. They'll pay dividends.
My butt hurts.
Boy, did MY mind wander when I saw that sentence...WOW. ;)
Anyway, those Romanian deadlifts...do they come with an actual nicely muscled Roman guy to show me how to do them??? If so, I'm in! ;)
LBB - I have all the grace & stability of a moose on roller skates. I'll be happy as long as I don't fall over trying to balance on one leg. Joking aside, I've been happy with the results I've seen so far.
PQ - heehee..had to get your attention! Really. If working out came with a side of beefy hunk I'd never leave the gym!
