Wow warm warm warm today gonna be almost 80* wooohooo!!! But....severe storms. We are gonna be getting what they are getting out West but hopefully no twisters.

So far he's acting better but do I think it's a permanent change NOPE! Do I think I"m gonna take it if he doesn't change NOPE!
Ok with that behind me now.![]()

For the last 7 years, I've been told I'm the "meanest" woman my bf has ever met - (maybe that's just the scorp coming out) - in any case....I'm not mean unless provoked. Guess he just wanted to make ME the bad guy. I've also heard I'm the most abrasive female he's ever met (which goes along with the first comment, I guess).....and those are the NICE comments I got! lolmomsgettinfit said:Thanks you guys I wuvs you all!!!!!
I'm not giving in, I spent alot of my life in the gutter feeling bad about everything about who I am at my core and trying not to upset people b/c I'm a very blunt person and was told that this is a big no no and made me basically not a good person. I know now after a long time of working on me that,that's so not true and that I am a good person, I'm stong and have my own mind and ways of doing things. ANd if he's not on the bandwagon with me it's leaving without him. I just don't have the strength any longer to handle it so I'm not. It messes with my head to much and screws with my training and really my whole fucken world!
I'm sure we all get yours too gfscorpiogirl said:

I feel ya', girl! You can only "stifle" for so long. You have to be able to be you, and SAY WHAT YOU MEAN. I got tired of tiptoeing around and trying to be "ladylike". Who gives a shit?!?!?! If I can't feel comfortable in my "comfort zone = HOME", I need a new comfort zone!!!!!
Now I understand your sig line!

you , lady. Stay true to yourself. I hope you know how special you are


*Bunny* said:Aww moms Im sorry. hang in there. Now I have to ask, does this have anything to do with you
working out
looking good
feeling great
confident
him thinking you're going to leave him for someone 'better' ...
met some new friends online whom you like (& aren't chatting with men all day long)
Take pride is what God gave you so WTF show them off ... he needs to deal
along those lines?
Why is he so insecure?


*Bunny* said:You are trying to inform, the uninformed. Trying to help another person get the most out of the time in the gym. Alot of people don;t do that, they sit back & watch the poor form, lack of knowledge and cry for help. Why? Well, it's not your 'job' and alot of people have other things more important to worry about, but I applaud you for trying to help someone who needs help. FEELS GOOD to share the knowledge and help someone else doesn't it? Man, I just love helping others like that... makes my friggin day. The fact I don;t get paid to do it, and do it b/c it makes me happy, makes it THAT more satisfying to me, while nuts to others ... maybe someday I'll be able to have a career change.
I am so sorry. I am not married with children so I can't imagine how difficult this is for you![]()

scorpiogirl said:He's going to go thru ANGER, SADNESS, ANXIETY, ANGER AGAIN......and over and over and over. And if he's anything like mine, he'll tell you the same thing 10 times in a 20 minute conversation to try to expain how HE feels, and ignore anything you say (well, the parts about how YOU FEEL anyway). This is his way of trying to "wear you down" - trying to make you believe him, feel sorry for him, understand him....blah blah blah. What about you?
ONLY ONE THING MATTERS!.....IT (whatever IT may be) has happened and nothing can change that. If it's been an issue in the past, has it been solved? If it's a new issue, do you think it can be fixed? Just a couple of things to think about.
I have a feeling when I laid all my shit on the table in my log, you may have taken a closer look at your relationship and there were similarities (I could be wrong here). Whatever you decide, don't let your kids grow up in a home that isn't happy! They sense it and it WILL have effects on them. I WAS one of those children.
Good luck, sweetie!![]()
treilin said:Sorry I'm here now!!! Totally been busy at work, but I caught up on your log! How awful! You know I saw the same thing happening in my marriage after 2 years and at that point I had already saw my parents and knew 100% fact I was never going to be like them. So I told him I wanted a divorce and he knew nothing was going to change my mind (I'm pretty hard-headed at times), I do what I feel. Sometimes going with what you feel is not always good, thinking with the mind and feeling together will keep you stable. Feelings go up and down, are wishy-washy, and can lead you into lonely dark places. Trying to think with the mind with what your gut is telling you is the best way to go. Once your gut says something is wrong, or you need to do this, then don't second guess it start forming a plan in the head to follow through with what the gut is telling you. I see people say they had this feeling but they ignored it for so long that they just become numb to life. Don't let your life ride you, you have to ride your life! Once you start listening to your intuition it becomes second nature to not second guess it and go with it. I have developed this and fine tuned it even more since I started doing massage. While massaging the body gives off energy in different ways. Some areas on a client's body just pull you in and guide you. It's being in touch not only with yourself but being able to see where other people need you most. If you block that sense out then you won't know your head from your feet, nor ever be able to help anyone else out because you are to mixed up yourself. Start with yourself, and then fine tune in onto what other people's body and energy are saying to you. Believe me it's a lot stronger then words could ever be!!
Meditation and alone time are the best ways to balance yourself.... I need to do that more then I do!!!
*******HUG*******

Yup you got it. It's easy when you listen to it and quit fighting against it. It walks you like a dog on a leash... you don't even have to think. Glad to see you meditate. What have you found works best for you while meditating? I always found being close to water and being outside is best for recharging me.momsgettinfit said:I do believe very deeply in the intuition of women and I do listen to mine that's why I started on this whole path. You know the feeling like you hit something and you have an invisiable string leading you to the next step and it feels so natural and good. That's where I am in the fitness realm and getting in my personal life as well. I do meditate and that's why I believe I'm alot calmer and feel more centered today. You rock my sista! Thanks for the advise.![]()

Very cute... Yep I find fire calming too! Anything natural is calming.momsgettinfit said:I like being outside that is my # 1, # 2 water sounds and just being around water, #3 believe it or not fire, I find it so calming.
I often in the winter months take candles and light them and sit in front of them and just go off into a nice place, do my calming breathing and just be calm and relaxed. My little girl even tries to do it with me. LOL

Woke up in a better overall mood this morning. I'm still standing my ground but yesterday I did alot of thinking and I'm putting me on the front burner for once (well except for my kids of course), I am a priority now and not holding back anything at all now. It feels good to speak my mind again and not give a shit. LOL His feelings are his and he's gotta own them and deal with them I can't and won't.

up!!! 1/2 C sliced strawberries, 1 mug coffee, 1/2 gallon water + vit. + supps.Maybe because you were cold you were squeezing your quads together and your butt... So they were contracted for however long you were sitting there and when you got up to stand you stretched them out.... I mean they already are shortened when you sit, and then if you are contracting them even more, When you go to stand up your stretching them out and that may have been to fast of a motion once they were in that prolonged state of being shortened and tight.momsgettinfit said:No I will be working them tomorrow night. I don't know why they are hurting. I was stuck outside on metal bleachers while my son ran last night freezing my ass off and they started hurting then,then when I got up to leave I stepped down and felt this sharp pain up my quads in both legs. It felt like someone took a knife and ran it up my leg. Sharp pain and then nothing. Then I get up this morning and they are hurting.![]()

It's all about finding what works for you & adjusting things when you feel something may or may not be holding you back & tweak.momsgettinfit said:If I was in that situation, I would have the shake immediately PWO, wait at least an hour then have some fat before bed.
Ok when I get home from the gym the first thing I do is have a my yogurt with pp now the only problem I have with trying to get in my fat source before bed is that I'm not up long after I get home b/c it's rather late when we do get home. Maybe I could just eat some nuts or something before bed and wait as long as I can after my pwo meal. UGH! See now if I could get my workout in a little sooner in the day this would not be an issue for me.![]()
Why yogurt??? Could always add flaxseed oil in the shake.... or take a serving of almonds. Eat the yogurt at a different time.momsgettinfit said:If I was in that situation, I would have the shake immediately PWO, wait at least an hour then have some fat before bed.

The subject of fat PWO is what we are discussing ... I do not recommend it per my comments above & in badgergls logtreilin said:Why yogurt??? Could always add flaxseed oil in the shake.... or take a serving of almonds. Eat the yogurt at a different time.
*Bunny* said:It's all about finding what works for you & adjusting things when you feel something may or may not be holding you back & tweak.
I am 110% dedicated when I wanna be, and when I see something off, I fix it & move on. I was just making a suggestion for better nutrient uptake, it may not work for you or her or the next person given your scheduleIf you need to get the fats in, then get em in ... there are better ways than in a PWO shake

Roonytunes said:I do my weights in the evening too and drink my PWO shake right afterward. I then wait at least 90 mins to 2 hrs and eat my fat (either nuts or nut butter) right before I go to bed. Sometimes it sits on my night stand to pop in right before I turn off the lights....
What's weird is the trainer who gives me my diet looked at this and said that I shouldn't eat just nuts right before I go to bed because it's really hard for the body to digest. But I thought fat makes the protein digest slower and keeps one satiated through the night??? Anyway, as a compromise, the trainer said I could eat nut butter with celery sticks at least...although I'm not sure how that would help.
The 2 tbsp of almond butter I eat before bedtime has 6g carbs, 8g protein, 15g fat and I think those are pretty decent ratios. I don't eat dairy, so no casein type protein for me. Anyone care to comment??? (sorry to hijack your log, MGF)
LOL should be over an hour. badgergrl said:Why do you need any fat at all before bed? Is this just because you're not getting it in at other points in the day?
It's really based on your goals & what works FOR YOU ... you will read D'ont eat fat before bed ... don't eat carbs before bed ... don't eat within 2 hours of bedtime , etc ...badgergrl said:Why do you need any fat at all before bed?
