CHEESE!!! With a nice glass of red wine.

[dreahere]

OMG nooo, unless you have some corn on the cob handy to pair the butter with I suggest selecting one of butter's brothers or sisters - almond butter, peanut butter, etc.

You're dissing eating straight butter? I had wasabi wow (trail mix) instead. It's got carbs along with the fats though.

CHEESE!!! With a nice glass of red wine.

I am ashamed I didn't think of cheese. I don't even know who I am anymore. ::tear::

I'm drinking wine right now at 12:50-something, though, 'cause I finished my taxes, bitches. LOLOL Even for *me*, filing on April 15th is a lil extreme. What can I say? The deadline snuck up on me.

I was gonna resume dieting this week, kids, but Wednesday is my son's b-day and I am treating him to Chinese food and there will be funfetti cake, so... Maybe we go another week at maintenance-ish. I think I *can* diet more b/c obviously I'm still making increases at the gym and not getting pissed off with feeling weak. BUT after not being on the 1500 poverty calories a day for a couple weeks, it's really hard to go back. Motivate me, yo.

[gobbles23]

Happy Birthday to your son! I still need to do my taxes....from last year as well :/ Stephen's dad does ours though, we motivate him by giving him a flask or some beers for his efforts

[thehobbes]

OMG Serena Williams is all up in Drea's log!

Very sweet you're taking your son out for special food, moms gonna mom.

[dreahere]

hahahahaha

Oh, Boom, I <3 you so much.

Lori, you make me feel slightly less like the world's biggest procrastinator

Hammie, yup, moms gonna mom. You guise remember, no matter how old you get, you will always be your momma's baby. That's how it works.

Pics later of what I did today. Prepare to be impressed.

[dreahere]

Pasta with (ground turkey) meat sauce, black beans n' rice w/ ground turkey, chicken stir fry, banana almond protein muffins. That's almost three weeks of work lunches right there. Freezer=stocked. Now I'm gonna do some stretching/yoga/foam rolling + abzzzz, then bake the funfetti cake.

WOW - can you come to my house and cook for me??? Pretty please? I have sunshine, beaches, and wine.....lots of wine


Serena rules.......just sayin'

[thehobbes]

That chalkboard wall looks pretty sweet, did you just use that special paint that only seems to be at home depot places? Do you have to use a primer on whatever is there origionally and then paint that stuff on? I wanna try this out!

[gobbles23]

Jelly of food prep! I need to start doing that, so awesome!!! Laughing at boomers post!

[dreahere]

Yup, Rustoleum from Home Depot, Hammie. Super easy. Only need to prime if you're painting over unfinished wood or something. On an already painted wall or door you can just slap it up there. Then you have to wait a few days for it to really dry, cover the entire surface with chalk then wipe it off to cure it, and you're good to go.

Happy Wednesday, guys!

Boss! I do weekly prep but haven't played around with monthly prep.

[dreahere]

I need more containers and more ideas for stuff that freezes well, has good macros, and transports well, and then next time I will do enough lunches for a month.

Feeling very bloated on fried rice and cake right now and will probably have terrible GERD tonight, but it's worth it Went to the gym earlier in between errands and the b-day festivities. Shoulders were weak as fukc but back felt strong. I got no explanation for this, LOL.

Shoulders gonna shoulder sometimes, they're fickle like that. Nice rowing though, I haven't done seated cable rows in a while, should get back to that.

Thanx! And before you know it, it will be Klokov Sunday again

OMG, I wanted to do more of my kitchen and my son was like, NO, mom. hahaha

So, I very briefly went to the gym last night, like 8:30-9:30 (at which point I realized I had to be up in 7 hours, sigh). On my way in between work and the gym, I had a really bad hot flash which made me really cranky, then when I changed into my gym clothes my skin felt so dry and itchy which made me even crankier. Then someone had left the wrong bar in the power rack again and I didn't have time to look for the real one, so I used it and literally took some skin off my back doing good mornings PLUS I think my iPod is dying because it randomly was slowing down in the middle of songs, so I was really really cranky.

From memory this is what I did:

foam rolling and hip stretches

good mornings: 45x8x1 75x8x1 80x8x1 85x8x1

kneeling squats: 195x8x1 205x8x1 225x8x1 <--(hit the pins unracking that last set but persevered)

leg press: 260x10x2

more foam rolling + a lot of stretching

That's it!

LOL!

Sorry you had such a poopy evening! Still got the work in! Cheers up it's Friday!! In awe of you had no idea your age until I saw it on your chalkboard
You iz one hawt mamma!

[dreahere]

Tanx, Boom.

So. The last two days at work almost killed me but here I am, still alive. AND now I am off work til Thursday because Monday is a holiday in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Woohoo! Wasn't sure I was crazy about this new work schedule but one big upside is that every Monday holiday now gives me a four day weekend.

That's the good news. The bad news is that it looks like the Y is closed for Easter tomorrow. The fancy pants Y looks like maybe it is open though. Maybe I will call them to make sure and then go on a field trip, haha. I wanna do something fitness-related anyhow.

That's all I got.

[gobbles23]

YAY for lots of days off! I wish I had lot of days off, we had a 3 day weekend but it still wasn't long enough :/

Hope you get some activity in today!

[LHarwood]

PM me your addy of peace. Will send you some choc.. do you like milk or dark?

[dreahere]

Is sleeping an activity?

PM me your addy of peace. Will send you some choc.. do you like milk or dark?

Done! You are such a sweetheart. Can't wait for delicious European chocolate of peace.

Slept a lot today, guise, since the gym was in fact not open and I was tired, then made a delicious dinner: roast pork tenderloin, roasted potatoes & carrots, roasted asparagus. See a theme here? Sadly I only had one glass of wine left in the bottle and I forgot to buy anything for dessert. Maybe I'll have the one beer I have left in my basement from before I went on the neverending diet of suck.

Happy Easter!

[swooshie]

Happy Roasted Easter with a side of beer, Drea

Yummers! Sleep food alcohol sounds like a good enough Easter to me!

Hey guise! Just got back from hiking in the Middlesex Fells for about two hours. Weather was absolutely beautiful and because the leaves aren't out on the trees yet, it was sunny even in the woods. I ended up taking off my rashguard-ish shirt and hiking in a tank top for most of the time Yay spring! We took a "moderate" trail which had some pretty good steep inclines. My azz definitely felt it on the uphills and my quads on the downhills.

And all I've eaten today is basically carbs and sugar. I'll be returning to healthy eating habits and a deficit any.day.now. It's so hard though. Food tastes good. LOLOL

I was thinking of maybe going to yoga tonight but all that fresh air and sunshine kinda wiped me out so it's looking doubtful...

Hope you had a happy Monday even if it wasn't a holiday for you!

[gobbles23]

OOh, glad you were able to get out hiking, it sounds like you had such a lovely time Hiking is an awesome leg wokrout, it really is!!!!

[Boomer29]

Middlesex Fells!

I had to read this like 3 times. Sounds so much fun... The longer you wait the harder it will be blah, blah, blah

[thehobbes]

Also lol'd at Middlesex Fells, didn't wanna be the one to bring it up haha. Yay for hiking in tank tops and carbs!

[dreahere]

OMG, you perverts, it's a place



There's a whole giant county in my state called Middlesex. It's named after someplace in England. Blame Louise's ancestors.

In other news, I was looking at pants on the LOFT website late last night because they sent me this giant sale email (like they do every week, LOLOL) and I was like, oh, those are really cute, and then I remembered I owned some just like them from last year. In my defense, its been seven long months since we've been able to wear anything resembling warm weather clothing. So I found them this morning and put them on and I kinda think they're too big now even after eating sh*te for four days straight. Evenj with a belt on they're falling down at the waist.

Please to tell me if these jeans are too baggy especially thru the crotchital area and look stupid, but keep in mind they are boyfriend jeans and are supposed to be "slouchy."







Yes, I am crowd sourcing whether my pants fit. Shut up.

I'm wearing them today whether they look like crap or not, but, y'know, for future reference.

[thehobbes]

Ok...
1) I think the jeans look fine, they're not baggy in the wrong places, butt and crotchial (lol) look ok (lol again), it's more baggy in the knee which I don't see an issue with, you look very nice in the whole outfit.
2) If your pants are literally falling down when you walk around then it'd be a no-go for me, I hate having to struggle with adjusting stuff all day.
3) Are we all just gonna ignore the fact that this giant Middlesex map has a place in the top right called STONEHAM, are we? ARE WE?!!! (Wondering if OP made lulzy map in photoshop now.) Stoneham, what is this like Stonehenge only with a bunch of muscle flexing hams chissled out of rock standing in a circle hi-fiving each other?

[gobbles23]

I think they look great on you! As long as they feel comfortable, I'd wear them! It's nice to wear loose clothing sometimes anyway, makes you feel tiny
