And .. Here We Go! Lexagon's Journey.

[lexagon]

Lookie at those drop sets They KILL don't they

Do you find these workouts long, Lex? That was one problem I had with them ..... they took frickin forever!

Nice job, crazy biker chick

Some of them I'm like ... wait wtf I'm only 1/2 way done you've got to be kidding. Some don't feel quite that bad, but then again that probably means I'm not resting long enough LOL
They are exhausting me though that's for sure!

Got laundry to do and stuff. haha!

[swooshie]

Awesome workout full of volume and sweat! What do you think of those behind the head presses? They always worry me, so I don't do them

I always LOL at your "walk to nowhere!" I think about you when I get on the TM

[pharty]

Lol when I had the boot I could only ride the stationary bike for cardio and I called it the Bike To Nowhere

Hai Lex!

And we're walking and walking and walking ... Look kids Big Ben ... Parliament <--- Please tell me someone gets that movie reference!
Walking indoors bores me ... but I do it because I need to! Biking indoors is worse because I just want to be on MY bike! Which BTW still has 2 completely aired tires, go figure right?

[thehobbes]

Clark Griswold FTW!!!

Still air in the tires, no way, I don't believe it.

Happy Sunday Lexarooni

[swooshie]

Got one tomorrow night .. can't wait. Love late night Friday leg workouts.

Hey me too!!! Wait ... you're talking about they gym, aren't you



Awesome workout week, Lex! Makes me want to run that program again!

[lexagon]

FYI - I do have 2 workouts to update. It's just going to take a bit. We got moved back into the call center for the week because the jerkwads that I work with have been calling out too much and we are short staffed. So now CHAT has to take phone calls. And for anyone that knows me .. they'll know this is my own personal HELL! I hate taking calls. I expressed this concern with my boss, it stresses me to no end. But I'll deal with it for the next week or so. So that's my update for now. Time to rearrange my schedule AGAIN!

I love all my Amazons, but these people I work with ... ugh ... they are not feelin the Lex love right now. So stupid. Do your job!

[thehobbes]

Aww Lex, hope it flies by quick, that's no fun. I know what ya mean...

List of humans in order of awesome to deal with to not so much:
-Friends/family (that you get along with lol)
-Honeybaked Ham salespeople
-People behind bakery counter
-Mailman
-Gas station attendants
-Weird homeless dude who throws shoes at people
-Co-workers

[beatha]

That srs sucks. Hope the work schedule works out better in the next week and asshat stops calling in.

Thankfully I have a great boss who likes to make sure I am not overly stressed and made it so I'm only getting certain types of calls, which is awesome. But of course does not stop the irate customers who "know it's not your fault" but want to yell at you anyway. Makes for long tiring days. And of course since my lazy ass has to be in the call center anyway I'm working some OT while I have the chance, because once I get back home there is no way I'm driving all the way out there just to answer some phones ... LULz ... lex may be crazy but she ain't stoopid!

We have a week there hopefully .. then back to lounging around in my sweats .. ha ha ha!

[swooshie]

Got some brutal longazz workouts going on Lex! Leg day always had me sweating bullets!

Too bad about sucky work right now .... isn't tomorrow the day we get to sing B's "Work Song"?!!!

Watcha cooking and baking?

Leg workouts are always longer, gotta rest or no weights are lifted lulz

Yeah sucky work is an understatement, but hopefully things will get back to normal soon enough. Tuesday....maybe.

I make candy mostly, lots of peppermint bark and dip everything in chocolate. Pretzels and Ruffles so far. I might do some chocolate covered Oreos for co-workers for Friday, if I feel like it tomorrow, but I dunno. I have plenty of other left over stuff that I probably should LOL. I used to do cookies and everything too, but I didn't think I was going to be working out of the office so I did not prep properly this year. So candy it is

I skipped my first workout in 5 weeks today ... I'm just too worn out. I need sleep. I actually think I may just do my twists and walk as much as I can at work and get back to lifting on Sat.

[lexagon]

Well I survived week 1 - nothing major just exhausted. No workouts during the week. And yes we got told on Friday that we are to stay on this same stupid f'd up schedule until the end of next week as well.... *sigh* I'm going to try harder this week to get in at least a couple gym days. I probably won't work as much OT either though (but you never know I'm a little crazy sometimes).

Sat I took my bike out for the first time in forever! I heart my bike! I missed it. And yes ... same tires from over a month ago, no flats this whole time. I have won over the evil bike tube gods! Then I ran errands for like a million hours (or so it felt). Lots of walking ... everywhere!

Today more errands, more running around, then holiday lunch/dinner/whatever with friends and hopefully to bed at a decent hour. Aaaaand back to chaos on Monday!

[beatha]

Happy Sunday Lex

Glad to see you are winning the tire tube war bahaha

[lexagon]

Was down for the count today, but did manage to get in a not too bad gym session. Finally woke up with that weird dull achy headache and sinus pressure ... weeee! Srs went to bed at 10:30p last night finally rolled out of bed around noon or so. Up just long enough to call in work. Stress, not sleeping well and everything else finally caught up. But that's ok, I have a little time off I can use. Will be back at it answering phones tomorrow - hopefully I dont' wake up feeling worse. Stupid co-workers coming to work with the plague ... keep that **** at home! Sheesh.

[swooshie]

Hi Lex! Hope you're feeling better Lots of sick Amazons in here lately!

It's Friday

[lexagon]

Thanks Swoosh!

I was out Wed/Thurs, probably should have stayed home today too, but yeah I felt bad so I came in. Good news is that we were put on email response so I don't have to answer the phones. Just gotta make it through the day! Feeling eh, just a head cold I think. No gym Thurs, probably not tonight either (sad it's supposed to be legs), but I have not the energy!

Got my xmas cards from my parents/grandma/godmother yesterday. Put them in my stocking (yes I've had it since I was probably 2). Hehe! Yeah roomie was jelly ... packages all over the place.
Her comment: wow happy package day to somebody ..
My retort: did you forget my parents live on the other side of the country??
Her comment: oh right sorry. walks off.
Me thinking: Take that bitch!! Don't be jelly. Actually yes be very jelly! And no I'm not always nice when I'm sick .. lmfao But I tried to be. I mean really.

[swooshie]

Lex .. just couldn't resist this picture for you, considering all of the tire trouble you've had this year!!!

Have a Wonderful Christmas my Biker Chick Friend!!!

[beatha]

Merry Christmas Lex
