The Black & The White

List 1 - Things I loved about today:

1. Seeing the scale move down - means more chicka and less chunka ..  no happy dancing as was too tired and had a sore ear (see list 2)

2.  Having coffee with a good friend who has just got back from Europe and hearing about her adventures ..  biatch went to Amsterdam and DIDNT go to a cafe .. thats like buying a cake and throwing it in the bin

3.  C's text message - I could tell you what it said but then I would have to kill you

4.  Watching a movie while Amy played Nintendo DS next to me and every time her Role Play character had to jump so did her foot right up my armpit

5.  My bank account did not look nearly as bad as I thought it would post holidays once I loaded up my netbank and pried my fingers from my eyes

6.  I got to eat HIGH calories today which equalled hommus and low carb bread with vegemite

7.  I dragged my sore ear to the gym and stuck to my gym schedule even though I was tired and evil and secretly wished that really annoying new gym instructor chick would accidentally do something that welded her whiney cake-hole shut

8.  I executed all my lifts with excellent form, concentrating on each and every rep and the muscle group I was supposed to be working

9.  C got home a bit early and we proceeded to have an entire conversation using only the sound effects from Age Of Empires I - sad yet proud are we geeks of G



List 2 - Things I Didn't Love About Today:

1. I slept like crap last night because my muscles were flipping me the bird after three days of effective lifting

2.  When I did sleep my stupid ears kept crumpling up and I would wake up with THE sores wiggies on the face of the planet

3.  I didn't do enough cardio because I was munted from my sprints yesterday

4.  My foxtel magazine still didn't come

5.  I have been freezing all day apart from the hour I spent working out - I'm going to get myself a digital thermometer tomorrow and look at my temps because my feet are so cold they get damp inside my explorer socks

6.  Annoying gym instructor chick was at the gym ..  Really I shouldn't be surprised, but I keep praying to the cosmos for a parallel universe where she isn't in my day - evidence of my persistant nature and devotion to being pleasant in the face of cold hard reality

7.  My cat, while laying peacefully next to me abruptly sat up and licked his butt  ..... and then accidentally swiped that same tongue along my bare leg

8.  I really wanted a McChicken but had hommus and vegemite toast instead



Beware the butt licking cat on sore-wiggy day, it heralds non-arrival of the Fox magazine - but fear not for there will always be hommus and vegemite ...  aeee oii oii, aeee oii oii ..  nu nu nuuuuuu

Breaking The Ice

Halleluja I am well and without cooties!

My trainer is back from Europe!

I'm back on track with my nutrition!

I know you are just bursting with excitement but all of this has happened in the last three days so, lets leave our frilly knickers in the 'special' drawer for the time being, I'll send a signal when total plan adherence exceeds three days.

Easter was a riot, we had hens nights, weddings, camping, shopping in Perth, visitors from Perth and chocolate - SO. MUCH. CHOCOLATE.  So much chocolate I have 8kgs to goal again *sigh*.   I'm not disheartened, just, I don't know - just *sigh*.  

I received the entry forms to the half marathon in the mail last week and for about two days I was really tempted, I miss running a lot - it was therapeutic and relaxing, it is my addiction.  I still do 30 minute stints with the bodybuilding but nothing beats distance.  I was incredibly tempted to commit but I eventually decided I want to focus on my lifting goals thus I declined (you might still find the form in the back of my diary just in case I change my mind ..  heh).  I am determined to get gorgeous googies, and a butt that can crack macadamias. 

At the moment life around here is changing.  The result is a lack of motivation on all fronts, nutrition, training and even my blog.  It's been nothing major or specific but enough of a tilt that I've needed time-out while I've re-established my rhythm.  The dynamics of the house are shifting as the kids get older and it has a ripple effect into all the areas of our lives.  It's not all bad, C and I have been spending heaps of time together and I haven't had to bust out the Voodoo Doll on him in like, forever. The downside is that I get edgy with change, and as fun as it can be turning into an anxious socail recluse with obsessive compulsive tendancies, I'd rather not.  I've really got my hands quite full nurturing my inner anal retentive.

I'm tired and I have to train in the morning so good-night for now, I'll continue navel gazing another time

"Holy Blog Of Doom, Batman! I just opened mine eyes, and lo! I have not updated this since long before Shakespeare wast a boy... You would not believe my anguish at my misdoings. Dudes!.

I am lost in a sea of pseudo-olde-english with a weight-lifting regime, being distracted by the shiny, and just generally being the life of the party to anyone unfortunate to cross my path, my day seems to involve the authorities from the moment my children manage to unlock my bedroom door and use me as a jumping castle, to me begging said kids to go to sleep at the end of the day or so help me God they will be decorating my wall, 'Duct tape still life'. I am looking at rectifying this. maybe tomorrow.

I hope that one day I will update you with my nefarious activities as soon as I get a chance. No, really! The Piccaninnies say I have to!"

Captain Tranny Pants

Before I embark on todays post I just HAVE to give honorable mention to Beyonce Knowles and her " I am ......Sasha Fierce" tour outfits.  Why?  Because looking at them made me laugh out loud - she looks like ..  well hell knows what she looks but it is hilarious. It's all animal print come Optimus-Prime, and although she has the very talented Thierry Mugler bandying the cause, she looks like a tranny. 

I don't know what it is about about poor old Beyonce but she really does skate the fine line between drop dead gorgeous and He-Man (by the power of Greyskuuuuuuull).  Grace whats-her-face used to make me think the exact same thing.

Autobots - Lets ROLL!!

Okay off the fashion subject now even though it's the one frontier I could spend ALL day on, I know that the vast majority of folk asscoiate that with a very high yawn factor. 

I'm good - well sort of.  I'm up and around and feeling a lot less like a festering diseased rat but I am not out of the woods yet. My chest is still infected, and I'm using every tissue within reach, however I threw caution to the wind and I trained today.   Dosed myself with a little Black Powder for dutch courage and set off for the gym before my already pitiful muscles become complete pancakes. 

I managed to run 6 whole minutes on the threadmill before I felt my lungs revolt (by way of hacking and wheezing and the ejection of lung oysters) and then I put myself through a 40 minute, semi-decent session of back & bi's.  I have lost a lot of form and still being unwell is taking a huge toll on my stamina but I'm back in whatever capacity I can be.  On a scale of 1 to 10 I would say I was probably operating on a 6.5 to 7.  I felt pretty good afterward but since lunch time I haven't been able to keep my body temp and I have that uncomfortable all over body ache like I'm getting sick again.  Training is on again tomorrow because I just can't afford the time off and I suppose it will just be a long slow road to recovery.

The IFBB pro show in Perth was nothing short of amazing!  There are photos but as I forgot my own camera I have to ask permission to use the pictures here on the Ration.  I came away with a whole new respect for the athletes and how much effort it requires to even stand on the stage and pose.  Congratulations to all the competitors but especially Michelle Nazaroff & Nic Jones who came in hard and won their classes and overall.  The routines and bodies were a site to behold and I am so glad I went because I learned more than I could have imagined.  Unfortunately due to lack of support and sponsorship the IFBB Elite Pro Championships will not be held in Perth any longer.  This is such a shame for body building in WA and for Mike O'Mara who put his heart, soul and finances on the line to host this over the years.  We still have the  October show and I will definitely be there as a spectator - hopefully I will have a bit of form myself!

I did have so much more to say but seriously, I need to go lay down and take a bloody panadol or something - this is like the lurgey from hell.

Vote 1 Technology

Love laptop

Today I am having an "I heart technology" day.  It could be because I am still recovering and unable to do much between bouts of nausea and a spinning head, but I have discovered that I can have everything linked between my laptop and mobile phone!  Thanks to a nifty little program, I don't even need to have a browser open to update and stay abreast of the various networks and my blog.  Can you see the hearts dinking off my head?  Now I am going to invest in mobile broadband - unstoppable.. heh.

But, I have finished with all that and I am SO bored. 

No, really.  There is nothing to do except lay here amongst the sea of crumpled tissues, packets of strepsils, and half filled water bottles, while I let the obdurate thumping take over my poor snot-filled head and I wait patiently for the infections to relinquish their morbid grasp on my respiratory system.

I keep trying to talk to Miss Moo but she is watching The Wild Thornberries movie with her new DS glued to her hand, and she keeps shooting me filthy looks as if I am interrupting or something.

Anyways, to abate my boredom I am going to look at the top 5 headers of my current emails:

1. We need you! Help us choose 2009's Sexiest Woman in the World - umm i'd rather not, I don't find chicks attractive like 'that' and seriously, do I look like I GAF about it right now?  Sexy to me is a packet of Panadeine Forte, a steaming heat wheat pillow and full box of tissues.

2. Whales Trucked To Flinders Bay - gosh this is just so sad. 'More than 70 whales and dolphins died on Monday after becoming stranded at Hamelin Bay, south of Margaret River, in WA's South-West'.  I don't know why, but I always feel a soul-searing sadness when it comes to whales.  Such majestic and intelligent creatures.  To me this is a real tradgedy that makes my heart ache.

~~interrupting the email header segment to let you all know I had to change the DVD for moo to Ice Age 2.  Upon return to my couch and sea of snotty tissues I spotted a dead frickin GECKO ON THE CARPET which I had to move by arming myself with 99 out of the 100 tissues left in my box, i think my arse flipped out by eating my head - oh my god - WHY ME?  That was dEEsgUsting~~

3.  Its all about the boobs! - The intellectual activity of the electronic media that is sent to my inbox is astounding, not on a good level.  Heaven forbid these writers should try and capture reader interest by exercising a capacity for smarts.  This email is actualy adressing the very serious issue of breast cancer, so why not give it the gravity it deserves and use language conducive to piquing the interest of the correct gender rather than descending it to the pits of 'porn mag by-lines'.  If you were appealing to a bunch of blokes maybe that header would be appropriate; but if it weren't for my boredom project that would have gone straight to the trash.

4.  LIQUOR HOME DELIVERY SPECIALS - Alriiiiiiight, now we are cooking with gas!  Show me the OP

5.  Blood Flow To Make It Stay, MATE! LOOKE HERE! Make your apparatus BIGGER!  Thicker!  Firmer! - Well, they totally missed their target market with that one.  If I were considering surgery to be a chick with a d!ck then hell yeah!  I'd be interested.  As a wife/mother of 4 who just wants a decent casserole recipe, they dipped out.  I can't imagine myself with a b0ner, I don't think it would be very pretty.   

I keep getting flashback of Dead-Gecko-Tail hanging limply from my pile of tissues - I think I am scarred and I can't help but wonder how the poor little sausage died.  I hope I in no way contributed to his untimely end, I'd have to lose sleep over that.  It was sad - but really, really gross.

Well, I might haul my sorry ass off to the medicine cabinet and abuse some pain killers, at least then I only have the rising nausea to contend with and I can pretend this earache is just a figment on my imagination. 

Chia for now and I hope enjoyed the eclectic collection of rambling from the ailing ration - lacking in genius for sure but hey, nobody pays me.


Moblog is active on the new phone. Even though i hate change i must confess i adapt v quickly. Esp when flat on back with festering lurgies and the pinky ponks on television
