Stacey's Trail

[Stacey]

Hey Everyone! WoW I'm not use to my journal having so much chatting in it I like it!

Jodie: Wasn't really forced Shopping !! I'm starting to feel better--THANKS

Andrea-- Go get you some at Academy!!! I so some at walmart--but for one dumbbell it was $17 and I got TWO 20lb. dumbbells for $6 each. Much better. They come in tomorrow hopefully. I did buy another 12lb one.. I only had one in the past. Now I have a set.

Jenny~Thanks honey~ And I'm always here to cheer you up kay!
No money is the same.. just we got a big check from having to much money in Equity for our home.. it was $5300. We got it last week. Well we said we would spend a little (no more than 200 to 300 each) then put the rest in savings for a baby!! (And for when I won't be working)
We also had moneyback from taxes..soo right now our savings accounts are looking awesome!!!! And We are not touching them!(anymore.haha)

ATHERJEN Hey girlie!!! how are you??? Girl I didn't even want Matt to TOUCH me I felt soooo bad... now that I'm feeling better though..that sounds like a great idea!
How are u? Going fishing today?

NT~ HEY WAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ UP?? I have always had all my workout equipment in my spare bedroom...where my computer is. I have my Firm stuff, 2 aerobics steps..acutally 3 ..and a Ton Of dumbbells and two mirrors, a TV/ And a Stereo.
However.. This room will be my nursery one day..and I'm gonna miss it so much. We Should have bought a 4 bedroom home. I never go to the gym anymore now that I have this room to workout in. I do cardio outside.. (or aerobics in doors) then go in that room and blast the stereo.. My doggie runs in and out.. And I don't feel guilty at all for leaving him to workout.

I think we are getting a 4 bedroom home in 10 yrs. probably.. I guess I will make my other bedroom the weight room once a baby comes..

Workout May 17, 2004

At the neighborhood gym! Nice change, But I like working out at my home now mucho better. But I went with my friend up there. (30 second drive..I wanted to walk..but she wouldn't..its about a 1.5 mile up there.)

We did a good full body (almost full) workout
LEGS:
-Leg Press (went up in weight since the last time I was there)
4 sets of 16
110pounds
(does the machine weigh anything??)
-SLDL (went up in weight here tooooo)
with two 25lb. dumbbells..
4 sets of 15
-Leg Extentions
4 sets of 10 ummm.. 55lbs.. they have a really weird machine...it sucks basically. In february/march at Balley total fitness I could do 75- to 85 lbs.. then we would go there some days and it was totally different.

Frog Jumps (at HOME) these are fun.. I hope I am doing them right..look like a dork..I was showing my friend..and she was laughting at me
2 sets of 20 (across the living room)

Shoulder Press- 3 sets of 15

Chest press thingie- 3 sets of 15 (so weak)

Bicep curls- with 20lb db. 3 sets of 10

Hammer Curls- with 15lb. db- 3 sets of 12

15 minute fast powerwalk around the neighborhood w/ my friend & cody

I already sent her a thank you card for interviewing me!

How are you Jenny?? Are you breathing?? You know what I mean! Just a few more days!!!!!

 

[Jenny]

Yay! Interview Does that mean you'll be able to leave your job soon? That would be great honey, I know how much you dislike the people there.. Great job with the interview!!

My legs are SO SORE Today!! I don't know if its from the leg presses monday night or the froggie jumps..or all the sprinting?
It was hard to sprint last night..but I did it!

 

[greekblondechic]

I told you people would stare and laugh JenJen!

I hope the staffing agency finds you a good job quick Stacey!!!

 

[Stacey]

Last nights workout was actually more of a Misson To Wear out Cody (My Pup). He kept me up the night before.. hes on my hubbys sleeping hours.. so he doesnt want to sleep before 4am. He pulls my hair when I'm sleeping..brat!!!
SO Since I got 3 hours OR LESS of sleep the night before..yesterday when I got home I was determined to keep him up all night until it was time for bed.. (He likes to sleep on the couch when I'm working out.. or watching TV..or cooking.. Or playing on IM.

SO GOT HOME AT 6PM-
CODY AND I POWERWALKED/SPRINTED/JOGGED For 40MINUTES (SOOOOO HOT OUTSIDE- I was drenched in sweat)

ate dinner at 7pm watched American Idol & Gilmore Girls--

8:15PM- Cody & I went for another Jog/SPRINT/POWERWALk-- 35 MINUTES

Then We played ball..played chase in the house, I did aeorbics that were on TV--Cody was running around.. all this went on for the next hour and half!!

Went to bed at 11:20pm. Cody only woke me up once at 2:30am.. (PULLING MY HAIR out of my pony tail--little shit- ) but he had to go potty..and he went right back to sleep.

 

[Stacey]

Heya Greekiebabe!! I think they are the same thing??? LOL

Well I do them at home.. but I showed my friend in the street the other night & She said I was a retard!

THANKS--I HOPE SO TOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Hey Stacey! wow, you really worked hard to exhaust the puppy That is hilarious! Do you still have troubles sleeping when Matt's away?
I could never make a day with just 2.5 hours of sleep the day before Just not working for me.. If I get less than 6 hours I'm a cranky bitch

Have a great day honey I'm teaching spinning soon for the crutches girl. Wish I could take it easy on the couch instead

 

[Stacey]

Hey Jenny! I know--I really wanted to make the puppy tired!!
YES I have a LOT of trouble sleeping the nights that Matt works! I HATE IT!!!! I stay up to late--usually Midnight (On a good night 11:15pm).. trying to keep myself Busy! Like most nights I have FIT TV on and I workout with them for a little bit (after I have already done my regular workout)... and just stay busy. I HEAR EVERY NOISE! I keep my TV on Mute in my bedroom. I also leave that big screen TV on in the living room & a light on in there.

I am a very Cranky Bitch too when I don't get at Least 5 1.2 hours.. UGGG!!!

Have fun teaching Spinning!!!!

 

[Jenny]

aww, I'm sorry sweetie.. that sucks He needs to start working days so you don't have to go through that anymore I hope he'll be able to soon..

 

[Stacey]

I know Jenny I HATE IT!!!! I have always been a HUGE scaredy cat! I pray everynight that Cody & I will be safe..and that Matt will get home safe at 4:30am.

I don't think he will be on days for probably another 3 years!

 

[Stacey]

HUGE UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!


...

...
MY HUSBAND..MATT.. WENT FOR A POWERWALK WITH ME AND THE DOGGIE LAST NIGHT!! FOR 35 MINUTES around the lakes... THIS Made me soooooooooo happy!!! I asked him if he would like to go with us...and he said YES!

He didn't walk THAT fast..but I was Happy he went with us.. he kept telling me to SLOW down. Then Cody chase some duckies around the lake--it felt like we were a real family! SO nice! I had bad bad cramps during it all- and all night.. but I was Still SO Happy!

Thanks To Jodie- I was able to take Vicodin last night (she sent me some 2 months ago) THANK U Girl!! I needed it bad. I don't know why I'm having Such bad cramps!???

Last night Matt & I both Could Not sleep at ALL. I was so tired though- Real Weird. I went to bed at 11pm..and when he climbed in at 1am I was still awake.. crazy.. we talked and talked.. couldn't go to sleep.. played with Cody (dog)...could NOT fall asleep. It was weird. We were getting frustrated.. at 3pm we got out of bed..matt played on the internet and I ate a tablespoon of nat. PB and watched tv.. went back to bed at 4pm..and finalllllly fell asleep. Till the alarm went off at 6:15am!

Had some coffee w/ sweet & Low this morning.. MUCH Needed..And Took 2 Exenadrine..

Tonight I am meeting him after work at his parents house.. Hes Off Today and he picked up his aunt & uncle from Missouri at the airport..they are here for the weekend. So I am going to visit with them, his parents, and extended fam. tonight.

Work is SO crazy today!!!!!!

 

[atherjen]

Hey Stace!!! WOW thats SOOO nice that Matt went for a walk with you and Cody!!! I can just imagine how happy you were!!!

I hope your cramps go away! and that you get MORE sleep soon! thats rufff!!

your meals and workouts are all looking super!!

 

[Stacey]

Hey Jen!!! Thanks so much! It was SO Wonderful walking with Matt

Well The cramps were HORRIBLE- the worst I have ever had them in 2 years. I called my doctor and they called in the Miracle Painkiller for me.. (I tried to get it in January but it was 80bucks b/c Matts insurance was messin' with us..now that hes on his new job..I thought I would try again) It was only $25 bucks for 60Pills. I took two and layed on my heating pad. I swear that pill (VIOXX) Is a miracle drug!

The cramps are back again bad..but I'm waiting till Lunch to take them. I did sleep much better last night! Thanks!!

How are you?? Are your leggies sore???
