Swooshie's Journal. Countdown to 60. The Old Lady Lifts

[llahhsoj]

Drive by. Pow Pow!

[swooshie]

the advice to your coworker should be included on every newbie's welcome package.

I am glad you're feeling better!

Thanks, Red! I sent you a PM

you know... i avoid drama in my life as much as possible, but i do love being a fly on the wall. how i wish i could be at your work to hear alla that nonsense! LOL

migraines are evil. how do you work when you have them? take care of you, girl.

I try and stay clear of the drama too, but this was pretty epic! I used to get migraines quite a bit, and I hadn't had one in a while, thankfully. Ibuprofen and caffeine seem to squash them a little. Thanks, geek!!

dress appropriately

What did you have in mind, RB?

Heyyyy you're alive! Glad you're feeling better.


Lol, is it any better if you throw stuff AT people and try to make THEM cry? (I personally see no problem with that. ) Was there a total failed girl fist fight between her and anybody else? Like an arms flailing, awkward jumping around, closed eyes the whole time, screamin' like a girl fight? Hahaha

Actually there was a bit of a failed girl fight! Something totally work related was said by someone and all of a sudden I see this yellow stethoscope flying across the nurses station and a loud "I'M DONE!!!" and all hell broke loose! Oh Yeah ..... dis is gonna be good.

Hai Swooshie.

Drive by. Pow Pow!

beep beep! Cool new avi, Josh!

[emergency]

nice shoulder session swoosh . great rep numbers

[gobbles23]

Hahahaha! Awesome quad pic! Yay for new muskels!

Nice workout! Looks painful!

[Luvdogs]

It looks like I'm going to have fun with this program next week. Did you take all the info from the site? I printed out the Y3T calendar and the first three weeks of training. Very excited to start.

I only do cardio once a week and people watching is the most fun! On the Step Mill's you can see the whole gym

[howimliving]

I swear there's a quad in that picture

this is bullsh*t

unsubbed

[swooshie]

lol Swoosh. Should there not be a light on if you're tanning?

Well, here's the thing ... I had finished tanning and the tanning bed had turned off and there was just a little lamp on in the room ... no overhead light in the room, and my phone camera doesn't have a flash, so I snapped the pic and didn't look at it until I got in the car, and it was just a black square! I will take another one .. promise!

Lulz.

Hi Swoosh!!! XOXOXOXO talk to ya when I get back or might text ya food porn if there is any

Have fun, PSS <3 Food Porn FTW

Thanks, ER! Still loving this program!

I think you'll love it! Especially coming off of PHAT. I like the microcycles and I'm on week 6 and not one bit bored ... and Swoosh gets bored with programs quickly. I do follow the program from the site on bb.com fairly closely ... but I tweek a few things, just due to personal preference.

this is bullsh*t

HIL say it ain't so Promise ... quad pic coming soon!




Hey .... it's Friday!!!!



So, tell me ... is this weird??? I want to have a big Thanksgiving with lots of friends over, but, of course, everyone is busy on Thanksgiving with their own families, so I'm having a "Day After Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving Dinner" Since everyone will have had the obligatory Turkey din din the day before, I think I will have a big Prime Rib din din ... is that against some Thanksgiving Law or anything?? Won't get arrested by the cornbread stuffing police, will I????

I'm also going to have everyone who is there put their name in a hat and we're each going to draw a name for Christmas. But instead of giving that person a gift, I'm going to tell everyone they have a $50 budget and they have to find something meaningful to do with that $50 that benefits someone in need/or deserving. Then at Christmas we will reveal what we did with our $50 in honor of the name we had drawn

[howimliving]

HIL say it ain't so Promise ... quad pic coming soon!

you know better

your day-after-skanksgiving-dinner sounds like a great idea, especially with the $50 benefit, work instead of buy something program. our neighbor that has the field behind our house has a big black friday dinner in his barn and everyone has to dress up like indians or pilgrims-it's a pretty good time a a stress relief from the previous family and shopping day activities

Those are GREAT ideas! The food and the gift idea. A while back we used to do a Prime Rib on T-Day just for something different. Some horseradish mashed potatoes go great with that. I would be giving my $50 to the SPCA or Humane Society.

[RyouBakua]

HIL is funny today



*tells you how much you mean to him, truly, madly, deeply

*pockets $50

[lexagon]

Love the Post Tday idea Swoosh! I see nothing wrong with that!

Nice quads btw

[Raigs]

MMm Swoosh that day after thanksgiving sounds delicious! Im sure you will have some nice fresh sides as well

[thehobbes]

THIS IS AWESOME!!! As long as you make up plates for hte cornbread stuffing police they will look the other way on this one.

This is also awesome. I wish my extended family would do this. I never need anything for Xmas and if there actually is something out there I really want I just buy it myself since I have the patience of an 8 yr old. And when I ask family what they want I get the standard "I dunno." lol

[FrmrHoss]

Am I not invited? How rude.

[TheMatzah]

sup swoosh!!


here's a deep tissue massage just for you

[jeezyreezy]

You're dinner and gift idea is awesome shoosh!

think that is a great plan. dont think the cornbread stuffing police will come and go all beat down on you

[lexagon]

Happy Weekend Swoosh!

[swooshie]

HIL do you dress up as an Indian or a Pilgrim? I see you more as an Indian myself .... just can't picture you in one of those funky Pilgrim hats!

Those are GREAT ideas! The food and the gift idea. A while back we used to do a Prime Rib on T-Day just for something different. Some horseradish mashed potatoes go great with that. I would be giving my $50 to the SPCA or Humane Society.

Thanks, Julia! Oh yea, I love me some mashed potatoes! See!....two very worthy recipients. I'm excited to see what people do with their $50.

*tells you how much you mean to him, truly, madly, deeply

*pockets $50

RB, you can't keep the $50 ..... play by the rules ...... K?

Love the Post Tday idea Swoosh! I see nothing wrong with that!

Nice quads btw

Hi Lexi! Thanks .... why don't you come up and join us?

MMm Swoosh that day after thanksgiving sounds delicious! Im sure you will have some nice fresh sides as well

I though you were moving in???? I was expecting you to do the cooking, Raigs!

THIS IS AWESOME!!! As long as you make up plates for hte cornbread stuffing police they will look the other way on this one.

This is also awesome. I wish my extended family would do this. I never need anything for Xmas and if there actually is something out there I really want I just buy it myself since I have the patience of an 8 yr old. And when I ask family what they want I get the standard "I dunno." lol

See, that's just it! Everyone gets the "I dunno" and people run around like crazy in bad moods trying to pick out whatever for whomever. Wanted to do something different and meaningful this year.

Am I not invited? How rude.

Check your mailbox FarmerHoss!

sup swoosh!!


here's a deep tissue massage just for you

How did you know that's just what I need right now, Matziebabe? Um, I think you need a shave though ..... just sayin

You're dinner and gift idea is awesome shoosh!

Thanks, Jeezy!!

think that is a great plan. dont think the cornbread stuffing police will come and go all beat down on you

Well, if they come knocking at my door, I'll just invite them in!

Happy Weekend Swoosh!

You too, crazy biker chick!

ANNOUNCEMENT





Swoosh has quadage!!!!!

So it wasn't the lack of lighting creating amazing shadows in the tanning bed the other night making it look like I had some quad definition ..... I really, really do!!! This is big news because my legs have been my nemesis for ever!!!

Progress Pics .... I think I took the first one about 3 months ago and today's pics I took right after my shower this morning .... and even though there's nuthin under that towel, flexing for a quad shot ain't that shmexy!

8/2012





11/2012







Can you tell?

[thehobbes]

Nice quadage Swoosh, I see poppage in both, also smexy knee. Yeah those low rows are always killer.

BRB going to nearest LA Fitness, ripping tape off of lockers, and charging up people's credit cards with the biggest Honeybaked Ham purchase you have ever seen. Swoosh you have to at least put a frog in their locker.

[-=FLEX=-]

Can you tell?

Yep. Nice progress, sw00sh.

[Cardioconvert]

Re: quadage - I can totally see it (much easier to see than the post tanning pic )

Awesome work Swooshie! I am loving the look of your program - so many programs, so little time

Have a wonderful weekend
