There's a ham in the power rack! Hobbes' Journal

[swooshie]

I think I shall go with choc chip something or other this week at ihop.


Got home at a decent hour today, just eating and resting. Wayyy too tired to lift today and holy shat I can barely walk, leg DOMS set in horribly bad today. It was bad yesterday but today I am straight up waddling everywhere and it is a struggle. So I guess not squatting heavy for a few weeks then going boom we're gonna rep 175 really got me, lol.

Also tomorrow *should* be the final day of my crazy work schedule, I have everything planned out and if things go well tomorrow then thurs I'll only have to be in a for a few hours, and friday I can go back to simply managing and go the hell home. So if tomorrow goes according to plan I will have another ihop feast to celebrate. In before I get killed in a freak accident of a plane crashing into the stretch of road on the turnpike my car is on that day just to thwart Hammie's plans. Good lord I need a change of luck here!

Chocolate chips make everything better!!! Glad to hear the Ham-U-V is finally driving out of the potholes of life {{{hugs}}}

I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I love your journal! You're always cracking me up. And I will be renting Bridesmaids soon!

Thanks Red!

AWWWWW!!!! lol potholes of life


No time for lifting so far this work week, BUT everything should be back to normal in Ham's hammie life as of tomorrow. I'm planning to hit the gym tomorrow afternoon! In recent Ham News I went to IHOP again last night - eggs, sausage, hash browns, waffles, and chocolate cake - nom, nom, nom. Now it's back to strict tracking and continuing this cut. I'm at 159-160 currently, shooting for 155. Also, on an unrelated note, I fell asleep on the couch and woke up with a huge cricket on my arm (also huge ) and freaked out, fell off the couch, and murdered it with the dvd remote. The pets were bert staring hard. Such trauma in the life of Ham.

Crickets scare me! If that happened to me, the result would be much damage to myself and anything near me.

Hammy is back!!!!

LOL... I would've freaked out too RIP cricket

[-H-]

YUM IHOP!
(LOL as I was thinking of what I was responding to, IHOP and crickets, I almost typed 'yum, crickets!' um, not so much. LOL.)
Anyhoo. Glad you had a good meal and am sure you will be to your goal (or below lol) in no time at all.
I don't mind crickets, but don't want them on me. I would have freaked out waking up to something like that!

[dreahere]

they were probably like stupid human "dont you know your supposed to toy with em 1st then eat em."

^^^This. I'm sure they were like, "Minus two style points, Human!"

[swooshie]

So many lulz

Squeaks would whip out her chainsaw if that incident happened to her.

There better not be any of his cricket buddies hidding in my basement.

Lol ham was on cat tv

I wonder how long they were waiting for the show to start !? ... bert stare had zero effect no doubt

they were probably like stupid human "dont you know your supposed to toy with em 1st then eat em."

Lol, they were probably watching me for a while, I remember feeling something itching on my arm when I was trying to sleep. For the record, I DID NOT dip the murdered cricket in bbq sauce and toss it in with my steak fries.

YUM IHOP!

Bugs are like kids - they may live in peace and harmony only if they stay a healthy distance from me.

I may or may not have screamed like a thirteen year old girl too, just sayin.


PWO meal - eggs, hash browns, cheddar pasta salad, protein bar, and tea. Going up the gym shortly after to do Back and Biceps, Chest/Shoulders will be Sunday. BOOM!

[Echo814]

I hate awaking up to find some kind of insect on or near me. I wouldn't blame you for screaming like a 13 yeer old girl, heck anything that happens within 10 seconds of waking doesn't count in my book

How big are we talkin? In NM we have these things called child of the Earth, also known as a Jerusalem cricket Creepy things that make a weird ass noise, woke up to one in my bed once There may have been some shrieking... and a baseball bat involved....

[nvrstopworking]

But Haaaaaammmm.... didn't you know these are considered "snacks" in Thailand?





Srsly though! When I was there years ago they had hot dogs carts full of bugs. Scorpions... grasshoppers... crickets... worms... centipedes etc.... was kinda scary! lol!

[gobbles23]

Bugs are yucky! We don't have crickets here, only cute little grasshoppers They're fun to catch! The only really awful bugs we have here that I can't stand are earwigs and silverfish- both of which are tiny but hideous.

I went and googled pics of crickets and there are some pretty big, ugly ones! Yuck! I think I would have flipped out as well to find one of those on my arm! *shudders*

Have a great workout!

loling@those chicks who are clearly enjoying their insects!

[lexagon]

There's a candy place near the beach I go to that does chocolate covered EVERYTHING ... kinda freaky! Little weird.

I think I would rather wake up to a cricket than the cockroaches and water bugs we have here. Those f'ers are freaky!! And they don't die easily! bleh *shivers*

Good workout, kept everything pretty light since I want to hit Chest/Shoulders this weekend. I'm trying to get back to a normal workout schedule asap. Tomorrow is Mega Grilling Saturday! We have lean burgers, potatoes, and corn on the cob.

By the way, every time I'm in the locker room now, because of SWOOSHIE'S story, I giggle a little because I think of one of those people screaming at me "Get my panties off your ear!" Thanks Swoosh, people think I'm just deranged, as if I needed any more help convincing them of that! lol

There's nothing wrong with redneck. In fact, it keeps things entertaining. :-)

Don't worry hobbes, I'm sure the regulars at my gym think I am off my rocker as well, when it appears I am singing to myself throughout the gym, or laugh or cuss at the scale in the locker room. Luckily, there is still a scale in there.

[thehobbes]

This week's weigh in: 159.

It's ON!
