Where Did the Week Go??

Actually, I know the answer to that one, but with the little amount of time spent at home, I feel like time has vanished. Yea, I am a bit of a homebody.

I forgot to mention the furry situation with my new job. I brought items to do an audition for fuzzy because I wanted to hedge my bets and stack the odds in my favor for having a job. Before I changed out of the amazon I asked about that and while I was changing was told that they did not want to fit me in any fur because my chest was too big! Uhmmmm.....ok. I doubt their costumes had less padding in that region than the dopey dog or the bears or the moose or any one of the other costumes I had done, but ..... I honestly was not going to fight it. If they didn't want to see me in fur it was their loss. =) Later, I looked at the height chart and I was too tall for everyone but this big red thing that wears tennis shoes. Yea, that might have actually been painful.

Anyway, I decided this week I was going to act like I had the Amazon, in terms of figuring out diet and exercise routines. Food, is still a work in progress, but my time in the gym was INSANE!!!

Monday night was 30 minutes of cardio and the Virgin Yoga class. I am going to keep going to that class because I have experienced some tightening through my hips and shoulders and think this might be a good way to open them up a bit.

Tuesday I started a lifting routine that I found in The Biggest Loser workout book. It was in my library and those trainers get some results and it has been so long since I did any lifting I figured why not! Anyway, it took me quite a while to get through it, and by the time I finished they were in the last hour of The Biggest Loser, so i went down to the elliptical and did 45 minutes on that while watching the Orange team get kicked off!! That really pissed me off! I think the perfect solution was to keep the son on the brown team and the player on orange who had stayed on the ranch (Dan) and made them into their own team. Both of these guys are under 20 and SUPER heavy and more than anyone else, I think they need to stay on the ranch. Anyway, finished that and stretched.

Wednesday -- Cardio day. Did a black diamond route on the expresso bike, did a different leg routine, then 45 minutes on the bike. My knees hurt so bad when I was done I asked one of the trainers if he could stretch me out. Oh, it felt so good and we got to talking and he gave me some diet advice.

Thursday -- I was invited to go to a concert tonight for FREE...and silly me turned it down to go talk to the trainer who stretched me on Wednesday cuz he said he wanted to see my workout routine. yea, he came by like once. should have gone to the concert. Anyway, it was lifting day, so...did my BL routine, then did 40 minutes on the elliptical while watching the Grey's rerun. I actually did 4 miles in 40 minutes! Go me!!

Friday -- Cardio day! Yea. Also..PAYDAY! Yeah, it is a comment on your job when the only thing you are looking forward to is getting paid. Especially when you spend the better part of 3 days twiddling your thumbs because you long ago got tired of getting yelled at when you went to other departments to see if you could help them. So, I stopped trying and do some photoshop tutorials, read the paper and yeah... Anyway, I did 30 on the expresso, no extra leg routine cuz my legs were BURNING and 45 minutes on the elliptical. Stretch real good and then go home and pass out pretty early.

Saturday -- Errands and whatnot. I made it to Target, Whole Foods, Dominick's and the gym. Woo Hoo! Since I drove the gym was literally just getting in and doing some lifting and getting out. That took me about 2 hours. Eventually I will get faster on this routine! I have learned that if I want to do anything on a Friday or Saturday night I cannot go home and get comfortable because my body will just shut down and crash. Once that happens, it is over. So, must plan in advance!!

Sunday -- Today was my day to go back out to Six Flags. Last night I got everything together and most of it put in my bag (was not going to put my SS Card in my messenger bag). This morning I got going and got 1 EXIT away from Six Flags and I realized that my SSC is sitting on the floor, right where I left it. Soo...get off the toll road and find another way home that was actually faster and did not cost me anything! Grab my card and back on the road. Now, when i was told to come in, they told me to be prepared to be there for a couple of hours. Ok, no big. Sooo....I get there, I see a bunch of people heading to one of the trailers, I pop in and am told that they were there for orientation and I need to go to a different trailer. Ok. Go to that trailer and about 1/2 hour later, I have my appointment to come back NEXT WEEKEND for a 5 hour orientation (paid) and am sent on my merry way. ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME!!! Ok, it was 45 minutes out there the first time, 30 back, and another 30 back to the park. They could not put me into the orientation that had started because it had started and it was packed. But still, what was the point of making people make a second trip to the park to do paperwork and make an appointment for a third trip back. It would make more sense to have people set up their orientation time when they are hired and bring all the paperwork with them at that point in time. Seriously.

Ok, maybe next weekend I will get the IKEA table that I have owned for a month put together. *hahahahahahahahaha* One can dream, right? =)
