Butt hurt cream?

That is if the comments were not removed, between the two former Marines who are so glad they’re out and don’t have to deal with the “bag nasties”. 
Because it’s other people’s fault that you can’t control your behavior and get busted down the ranks? Granted there are those who do cry wolf and blow it for the rest of us. I don’t know their story, but it’s the shit attitude the two first commenters are displaying that makes me realize that some people are just so butthurt they will carry those feelings with them for the rest of their lives. 
And that is sad.

Still Alive!

School has me swamped! Speaking of school, next semester will be my last semester. I've decided that since I'm so close to the end I might as well finish before boot. Speaking of boot....

I'm close to my max weight, I've been passing every IST my way, and I even did a 10K last month on Thanksgiving! Holy crap 6.2 miles!

I'll update more, but I have finals to study and projects to complete.

Stay motivated!

I have this really awesome story....


.about male poolees bitching about how unfair it is that females have to do the flex arm hang instead of pull ups. As if it is our own personal fault that pull ups are not part of the female IST/PFT scores, yet. Rumor mill has it that pull ups will be implemented for females starting January of 2012, ironically the year the world is suppose to end. Which is fantastic for those ladies who can crank out pull ups, their work will finally be factored into their scores. 
I’ll document this morning’s events when I get over my NyQuil induced coma, but I will leave you my feelings of today and the whining I had to endure earlier here:

I'm fucked....

I just made some awesome double chocolate chip cookies for my mother's work bake sale.
And I make some damn good cookies let me tell you.
It's just one cookie right...?
And I'm below my calorie count.
And if I pair the cookie with a protein I can lower it's GI.
Oh fuck it. GET IN MAH BELLY.

*EDIT*
Regret, but only for the sugar rush I'm getting now. It was delicious of course. 
Note that if you do experience a sugar rush the best way is drink a lot of water to help flush it up faster.
Not self induced vomiting. Fool.

Oh hey fat loss plateau, I haven't seen you in awhile.


Which is a lie.
I feel like I’m always starting back at square one. 
The past few days I’ve lost my appetite, but that can’t explain the sudden surge of weight gain at all. 
It’s like I have a fucking monkey on my damn back.

20 Hours of Exercise in a Week Challenge - Day 4

I. Am. Beat.
Saturday I was lucky and had two hours of PT in the morning including the IST (passed). So it was just my duty to find something for an hour. I may or may not have danced in my living room. With no pants. 
Today was an easy two miles before a photoshot for my portfolio and helping a friend move. I figured I’d spend a few hours helping her move and wrap up tonight with a short card workout. Except out of the the five people she had there, two us weren’t pregnant. An 11 year old and me. So for the first hour I definitely pulled my weight lifting and carrying and running and trying not to scratch the walls, pretty much by myself. I was then promptly put back in my “woman place” when some of the guys (not pregnant) came by with the bulky furniture. I was directed to all the light items while they insisted on getting the heavy ones. Do you see my biceps?! I’m sure they were just being polite…

I’ve had to up my caloric intake to about 2,800, drink more than a gallon of water, sleep at least 7, and make a daily schedule and match it to a ‘t’. If I didn’t follow any of that, shit went bad fast. 
So I have about 20 minutes left I need to cram in for this evening, not bad, but damn am I sore from the move.

20 Hours of Exercise in a Week Challenge

Day 3

This is what I can tell you after completing eight hours of exercise in three days, obviously not including my workouts from Monday to Wednesday, it takes a lot out of you.

So far the key points I have learned are: time management, hydrate more than usual,  EAT and eat even more, and sleep.

I'm writing this with a slight headache and feeling light headed. I didn't sleep well enough nor did I hydrate like I should so cramming in another hour today is going to be a bit of strain, but it'll get done.

20 hours of exercise in a week?


I guess I should hit the sack and wake up all bushy eyed for tomorrow's training. 
Six days will be a guarantee of three hours of exercise and one day of two hours. 
As Tim Gunn says, "Make it work!"

Five miles nothing to it (August Workout of the Month)

Okay I lied. The last two miles of that five mile run were more of a trot and that's being generous.

In weight loss news, I'm STILL at a plateau. In the heat of the crazy moment of getting of the scale, I had a mental lapse and toyed with the idea of getting one of those thermogenics. But that idea went out faster like my temptation to toss out the scale through the window.

This...this is nearly a break down.

But enough of my bitching, I bet you're all dying because I didn't post a July WOM.

Well motivators, here is August's WOM

August Workout of the Month

30 Side straddle hops
5 Push ups
25 High knees
7 Burpees
10 Sit ups
10 Squats
5 Push ups
10 Sit ups
5 Push ups
10 Squats
30 Side straddle hops
1 Minute wall sit
5 Push ups
25 High knees

Do this 2 - 3 times.

I sadly cannot take credit for this. I found it on Tumblr, did it, and loved it so much I wanted to share.

Four Mile Run...pffft

Since when did running four miles become a welcoming challenge?

With hills.

And sprints?

I'll take it.
