Hey K!
Thanks…
I remember lighting up my last one in the Walmart parking lot… Hubby came out with nicotine patches and we both slapped one one each other and I haven’t smoked since. I quit the patches after a week cause they made me feel twitchy. The dreams at night were awesome though.
I cardio’ed.
25 min on bike
2 min regular, 2 min climbing. I don’t have a spin bike per se, but it sorta works. I’ll probably end up busting it.
marking my place!
yeah Mims - already a year gone by. damn good work woman.
Betty strong is awesome strong.

Curse you people! Second page! Betty Strong. Hottie!
Hey strong person!
THis is my spot to watch you from. I would take a nice steak, medium rare please, when you get a moment.
I just realized that my thread title is like Veggie’s screen name.
DUH!
Thinkin of changing it again 
Does Betty and the Barbell sound like a porn movie? haha
what about Live, Laugh, Lift.
3 lbs overnight…magical.
I feel like I won’t have the time/resources this summer to train for the comp in August, so as not to completely embarrass myself. I know it’s not about winning, etc…but I when I do something I give it my all. 2.5 months isn’t enough time!
I’m jumping from one thing to another too quickly. I only just quit dieting for a million years.
I want to take my time and have FUN getting stronger while focusing on bringing our family back together.
I still think we should plan some sort of meet up though!!

Hi MiM!
Hey there! New log, huh? Do NOT change the name. I love it and it is perfect. Also, WTF? You should totally do the strongman comp anyway. It is 3 months away. Plenty of time. I was seriously considering doing it myself. And we definitely need a meet up regardless.
Glad to hear that you quit dieting AND lost 3 lbs. Nice work.
Sorry to read about the doggie. Breaks my heart.
Very excited for you in anticipation of your hubby’s return. That is awesome.
OHHHHHH new log!!!
I love the way you ended the first entry too! You are indeed a strong Betty I have a definite feeling this log will be the strongest
No- I GAINED 3 lbs overnight…
fml
then again, maybe it went to my legs/butt.
YAY!
HI INK!! hehe
we’ll see…
Training- stupid trainer wasn’t there. I guess I shouldn’t call her stupid. She knows how to sell and she’s got her own following…and her own method . Like OMG! :barf:
I’m seriously considering throwing in my hat. I don’t want to try. I’m socially awkward and I rather like it in my bubble…so hmph! crosses arms over chest
I appreciate the opportunity that was given to me but I don’t even like that place anymore. People are shady. I’ve asked for different kind of work before, like to work the front desk, etc…you know, to work on my people skills and I always get the cold shoulder. Oh, we don’t need anyone right now, etc…
Yet, I see new dumb young bitches all the time. whats up with that?
I got a family to feed, damnit!
If I quit as a ‘trainer,’ (hahahaha, I don’t even want to call myself that anymore) then I have to start paying a membership. Perfect time to cut ties and go elsewhere.
VS- I feel cheesy now though, blush
I want to do the comp, but I don’t want to compromise our family fun time plans neither. Maybe I’m just being a chicken. I’ll do what I can to train with the time I have and we’ll see what happens.
Brutiful!!! Thank you
Bench- 65x12 85x8 95x8x2 105x3
Wasn’t feeling the db incline bench. Front of shoulder area gets mad sometimes… 
Incline bench HS- 3x10x35s…felt good, elbows tucked in nice and purdy.
HS low row- 1 arm at a time/standing… did I make this up? I dunno…but it felt good
4x12x70es
See-saw press- 3x8x35s
Cable cross-overs-3x12x15es
Push ups- 3x12
Face pulls- 4x12x30,35
Dead stop tri press-(hurts elbow…STUPID ELBOW!!!)
3x12x40
Rope press-down
3x12x25
Saw some bitches soiling my corner of the gym with there half squats(with the bar) thinkin they were tough shit. I guess it’s a start.

I think you should still do it Mimsie. It’s not going to compromise family fun time, it’ll enhance it! It’s seriously awesome to see and hear your kids cheering for you at an event like that. When I did my meet my 4yo was yelling “LOCK IT” during my pulls, and even mimicking the DL in the stands. I had a great time and I know that my family did too. Since it wasn’t “local” we made a little vacation out of it, and it was awesome!
And bummer about the gym bull-ish, but I hear you. If you’re not comfortable, eff it! And a change of environment wouldn’t be a bad thing, you’d get away from “Annoying Annie” or whatever her name is
ya, your right Ink. I just gotta figure out how to train for this.
I got a base of strength, but how the heck do you train to DL for reps, for example? (I’m thinkin Brute and her 25 reps of 225, fml) I just assume that would take longer than 2 solid months to attain.
ya, definitely not feelin that gym nor the whole ‘being a trainer thing.’
If I trained at another gym I wouldn’t have to be nice and I can make fun of the trainers because I’m not one!
I dunno…
I don’t believe fitday but it’s telling me I ate 250grams of Protein today…
Food–
9am- shake
11am- gatorade recovery
1230- 11oz steak
mucho zucchini, onions and mushrooms
2 rice cakes
choco bits
6pm- 8 oz cube steak (cube steak, hehe)
green beans
8pm- greek yogurt
almonds
coconut
hmm, maybe I eat too much protein?? It’s over 60% of my calories.
Okay, yay on the new log! Sad about the puppy, but sometimes those things happen.
Again, if I was anywhere near you I would love for you to be my trainer. People are dumb.
