no workout wednesday.. sounds interesting

Not especially

Hiya E!!!

Hey Swoosh I found a penny at the gym yesterday when I was stretching, srs. Very weird, who carries change in their gym shorts ever? Saw it and had an AWWWW moment.

Awwww!!! You will be amazed at the places you will start finding pennies. You just have to believe.

I remember that song. It wasn't my type of music back then.

Kind of figured that based on the music in your journals! You would probably hate what's on my I-Pod

not even gonna lie swooshie........

H!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've really missed you and I think about you all the time!!! I'm so glad you're doing well! I need to e-mail you and we can catch up on everything! Grad school must be so rewarding though. I loved university! So proud of you for taking all of that on and finding a good balance with your family life ... and keeping up in the gym too! That's so awesome!

not that I want make you jelly swoosh but no newbies have been spotted at my gym

Say What???? Gadz they're in full force at my gym. I give them 2 more weeks and they'll be gone

Hey was gonna text but figured others might be wondering too...

How is the certification stuff going? Or are you too busy being Nurse of The Year right now?

[swooshie]

I'm finally feeling like my legs are getting somewhere. I'm starting to like them





A little flubba here and there ... but progress for sure! Happy Swooshie

[swooshie]

happy saturday swoosh!!!

Ninja post! Happy Saturday, Mr. E

Hey was gonna text but figured others might be wondering too...

Another ninja post! I had to put the certification stuff on the back burner. It was getting to be too much to work 11 hours at work every day and then come home and study. Brain = fried. Hopefully I can pick it back up again one of these days.

Have you ever thought about getting certified P? I think you'd be awesome!

"special coal"

I think that's what I get when I put too much spinach in my protein shakes

[jjeane]

Hey Swooshie!! Really strong arm workout! Way to push em out of your way!
Fantastic legs Swoosh!! Very jelly!

[thehobbes]

Damn those bent over (heehe) rows are coming along swimmingly! You don't see a ton of ladies over here doing over 100 too often. Nice legs btw! And mirin' cabinets lol.

Does anyone know what's going on with the new avi's? I've been trying to upload some pictures and now there are size requirements ... like giant sized and then they're like "Oh, but you can only show this much of your picture in your avi" Why can't my entire picture be my avi? avistupid.jpg

Hahaha I know that feel! I would say edit them down in size first in photobucket but I can't get that to work either! When you take a pic maybe leave a larger margin/background around you than you need so the unimportant parts will be cropped out by bb.com. Agreed 100% their pic system has gotten to wtf levels. BRB can send humans to outter space, BRB can do face transplants now, BRB iphones, BRB can't make website upload lil 1" pic for people efficiently... I need some deviled eggs to calm me.

Woot legs! Can totally see those muscles poppin' srsly.

Hate the avi thing a whole lot.
Happy Sunday!

[swooshie]

Hey Swooshie!! Really strong arm workout! Way to push em out of your way!
Fantastic legs Swoosh!! Very jelly!

Thanks, double J!!! My legs have been my nemesis for as long as I can remember. I'm somewhat strong in the leg dept, but they just weren't showing anything but flub....no definition at all. I remember when I was considering competing my trainer was like "Uh, Swoosh ... your legs are way small ... not sure if we can get them up to par" I don't know what happened ... I just kept persevering and shur nuff .... quadage and hammage and buttage showed up!!!!

Damn those bent over (heehe) rows are coming along swimmingly! You don't see a ton of ladies over here doing over 100 too often. Nice legs btw! And mirin' cabinets lol.

Is "cabinet" secret code for butt cheeks?

Tanks on the bent over (tee hee!) rows! Yepperz ... progress for sure!

Hahaha I know that feel! I would say edit them down in size first in photobucket but I can't get that to work either! When you take a pic maybe leave a larger margin/background around you than you need so the unimportant parts will be cropped out by bb.com. Agreed 100% their pic system has gotten to wtf levels. BRB can send humans to outter space, BRB can do face transplants now, BRB iphones, BRB can't make website upload lil 1" pic for people efficiently... I need some deviled eggs to calm me.

Oh man, don't get me started on the whole new avi requirements..... frustrated as hellz the other day. I may try the giant, life-sized margin trick!

Deviled eggs are gross.

Beast Mode session! The new AVI requirements do suck to put it nicely. Have a nice remainder of the weekend!

Whoot!!! Got me a "Beast Mode" from my friend J-dog!!! You know it was because of my magical MP wrist band I wear!

Thanks, Josh! Have a great weekend too!

Nice stems Swoosh!

Thanks, Dubs!! Do you like the tulips at the top of the stems? (dat was a bad one right there )

nice work swoosh

Thanks, E! I sure appreciate your support!

[RyouBakua]

[swooshie]

Swoosh thats a strong session 225 on the rack pulls is awesome

Have had the same avi for months do not plan on changing now lol.

Told ya my last rack pull session was poopoo

New avi rules are stupid. It's seriously bugging me .... probably because I can't do what I want to do and that always bugs me

Awesome legs Swooshie!!! Looking good!!!!

Sweet workout too!

Really?!!! Thanks, Gobbs! Means a lot coming from you!

Good job swoosh. Legs are smokin.

Awe, thanks, Miss Queen of the Amazon Legs!!! Your legs are such an inspiration!

Woot legs! Can totally see those muscles poppin' srsly.

Nice rack...pulls and rows and yeah everything.
Hate the avi thing a whole lot.
Happy Sunday!

Woot!!!! I know!!!! So excited about it!!!

Thanks, PSS! Happy Sunday, sista

[swooshie]

Fried Quads with a Side of Gym Tude

Dear Newbies of LAFitness .... I very nicely explained to all of you that locker #7 belongs to me. ME!!! So I was not expecting to walk into the locker room today and see it being used. I don't want locker #5 or locker #9 ... I want #7 ... it is mine. I've decided to have a little blingy plaque engraved to stick on locker #7 that says "Reserved for Swooshie's Sh!t" "Keep Out"

I heard this overhead announcement when i was working out today "If you have any questions on how to use a piece of equipment, ask one of our friendly trainers! They will be happy to help" Baaaaahahahahaha!!!!! First of all ... they are not friendly. Secondly, they can only answer your question if the piece of equipment you are wondering about is the BOSU. I honestly don't see one of them take a single female out to the free weight floor and teach her how to lift. wasteofmoneyandtime.jpg
