Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I think I will start looking for a new gym next year. The gym I go to is a local chain (MD, DC, and VA). It's perfect, if you never worked out before or been out of the loop for a long time. However, it doesn't have that bodybuilding atmosphere. In addition, the looks and comments are starting to make me self-conscious about what I'm doing. I know I shouldn't care - but the twinkies are really starting to get to me. In the fall, I will start looking at Golds or some of the "warehouse" gyms in the area.

My rant du jour - I'd like to say "ever have one of those days.." except its like months now on this silly project at my job. We are replacing our entire back-end system and all of our current offerings and its a $5M project. Except they have not scheduled appropriate time to understand, implement and, oh I dunno, TEST the whole friggen thing.
What a complete joke.

Well my blood has been boiling all day!! We have three dogs and 1 of those is quite a barker. Well today i let them out to potty (had been locked in their crates while i was out today) . well my hubby calls me on my cell phone, and i'm talking to him and Zahra *my pup* starts barking out in the back...Now mind u, these are not "outside" dogs..meaning i only let them out to potty and play for Very brief periods. Well, i opened the door to call her in, cause i see my neighbor lady standing close to our fence and zahra is barking at her(she loves to do that 
) and all the dogs come in and she's a little relunctant cuz she knows she's not supposed to bark and is actin' like a weinee practically crawling up to the back door. Well my neighbor lady looks at me (and can see i'm holding my phone and talking) and with this crappy look on her face , says really smart-alecky "I've about had it with these dogs!" and turns and walks away.
I have been so stinkin' mad and upset all evening because of that. I felt like going over there and knockin on her door. But i'm such a weinee, and i was afraid she'd say something to make me even madder.
I just don't know what else i can do. She's in her yard ALOT, she's lawn & garden obsessive , and when a dogs' gotta go, they gotta go! I feel like i'm doing all that's physically possible to do. My dog knows she's not to bark and i ALWAYS call her in when she does.

I have a min pin who feels the need to bark at anything that looks remotely suspicious and one day this lady was walking by and he escaped (btw his name is Turbo for a reason) and I thought she was going to have a heart attack and she was like does he have his rabies shot....blah blah blah. I was like sure lady I have a $600 dog w/rabies and he's furocious (sp), he's about a foot tall watch out he'll tear you limb from limb. People are dumb. Don't feel bad.

I was at the gym yesterday, and I walked up to the leg press machine(the plated one) with 2 45lb plates on each side, and there was a guy standing next to it, so I said, "is this free", and he said, "yeah, do you need help taking those plates off", and I said, "no, actually they're perfect for a warm up." And he just gave me this look..... It was hilarious....But then, he actually stood their and watched me lift it 12 times, then add 2 more 45lb plates and lift it 10 times, and add 2 25lb plates and lift it 6 times. HE STOOD THERE THE WHOLE TIME.... Then, he says to me, aren't u worried about getting big legs. And I said, look, my sisters thighs are 3/4 the size of mine, and she SQUATS what I leg press, so I don't think I'm in any "danger". Then went in to my very knowlegable (sp) schmeil about testosterone and womabn. Then when I was done, I was thinkin' "damn, why did I just waste 10 minutes on that idiot!!!!"

This really isn't a bitch post. It's more a "someone please help me, I'm trying to not freak out" post.
My jeans are fitting really tight around my hamstrings. I keep telling myself it isn't because of an increase in fat. My size 6 and old size 8 jeans are lose in the waist and are sagging in the booty. However, that tight feeling is uncomfortable.

Certain brands/styles of jeans are more slim in the thighs then others. Since I've really been working my legs I can't wear a lot of my old jeans due to how tight in the thighs they are, even tho they fit fine everywhere else.
Try stretch jeans.
PS -- it's the jeans.
I'm back on new head meds and I feel completely awesome. I've felt awesome and more myself on this medication before. Now I remember why I went off. I can't freakin' sleep. At all. I'm talking 4 hours a night most nights. Dang it. This has been one of the only things I've ever taken that I'd done well with and it's hard to want to trade finally feeling good in for no sleep.
I know I can go to the dr and get stuff to help me counter that side but I hate taking more stuff than I have to.

Yep its the jeans! With training your shape is going to change a little and the jeans that are cut a certain way won't work anymore. My biggst problem has always been getting the jeans over my calves. I still have some issues w/ my quads & thighs, but now the waist is so big I could hide a small child in there. I still find that Gap jeans fit me well, but they aren't the sexiest jeans either....

Oh I got something to b*tch about, this fat azz man at the gym, that's so arogant that it's sick. Jack azz looks like he's about 8 1/2 months pregnant, about to pop. Any how so I'm about to warm up my legs with the leg press (that I haven't done in months) so I put 2 plates on each side (180lbs) to warm-up and dude comes over and says are you going to be long cause I need to do the leg press, so me being nice 
I say oh I'm just started but we can share, he says well (like a damn jerk) I need to add another plate to each side to do my workout so no I'll just wait, I'm going heavy, and gives me a nasty grin.
So I go and do my work of 20 reps with the 2 plates on each side, then begin my work out, adding a plate each set. Last set was 4 plates on each side, and a 10 on each side (380lbs)
When I was done I went off to him, and said oh you said you use 3 plates right, so I should take that extra weight off for you then, and just stood there grinning at him. Damn jackazz, revenge is sweet

I was in the grocery store holding a baklet in one hand and a 12 pack of Diet Cherry Coke in the other....holding the end of t he case...longways so that the very end was in my hand:
Woman behind me:
"Excuse me...Sir"
"yes?"
"you can use my buggy."
2 second pause
"For what?"
"To sit your drinks down"
"Thank you but Im fine"
"welll.......I can ASSURE you thats not good for your hand."
"Really?? What specifically?"
"You holding that case like that - Its bad for you because its putting too much pressure."
"Really??
huh
on what exactly"
"Your wrist."
"Well...technically my wrist is in its strongest position as it isnt pronated and you know, now that I think of it..this is a great exercise for hand/finger strength as well as strengthening the forearm flexors and extensors"
3 second pause
"Oh....well..is still bad for you"
*LOOKS INTO HER BUGGY*
"So is that carton of Marlboro's"
...end of conversation

I guess a good story I had was this morning, one of my trainer's clients is this older woman (well she's probably my age, but I wear it better) is on the butt blaster & the trainer says put it on 75 for 25 reps x 4. And the face this girl made was priceless. Then I said, be glad you aren't me ... my usual is the stack (150 lb) for 50/40/30/20 supersetted w/ dead lifts. The lady looked at my trainer like "YOU MONSTER!"
Then the trainer said, he had a girl who is now a fitness Pro doing the same thing a couple yrs ago, and when he told her to do the 75 for 4 x 25, she got up & left. LIke, the gym. LMAO!

Ready to get my ass on the ball and order my damn suit. Have the cut picked out and hopefully the fabric... now all I wait on is the suit lady to gimme a email with price and timing.
I've been emailing since the day she sent me the fabric and still haven't gotten a clear answer yet. I can't buy my shoes until I pick the suit because it has gold in the fabric and I don't want to get silver in my shoes if i do go with this one.
gosh golly damnit... She needs to hurry already
