Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Finally Friday Sept 1

Afternoon Maniacs!

Today I did so far:

Workout 3 of the Total Body Plan (120 sec rest) of

1 set of 15 and 2nd set 13 Dumbbell BB Press with 25# db's (ouchy)

1 sets of 6 and 2nd set 5 of pull Ups - close grip

2 sets of 15 for squats with 110#

2 sets of 15 Leg Extensions with 65#

2 sets of 15 DB Press with 15#'s

2 sets of 15 Seated Overhead DB Press with 20# db. (started out as if too light, but hey..it's not easy)

2 sets of 45 calf raises with 60# (30# db's) (made me want to cry for momma)lol

Next will work out of my ab book doing several different exercises.

Anne,

Hang in there with car. It's a ford. What do you expect? lol. It might actually be better this time. Wait and see. You know when you feel like crying when you work out those legs...just means you are reshaping them so damn fine. I won't be able to walk tomorrow as I just fried my calves and wanted to cry for my momma. Sorry, don't have any tissue so just wipe it on yourself, k? lol

Debbie,

You got me beat with chest..that is for sure! 35# db's in each hand...oh, that is something now. I tell you, this workout stuff is working for me. I feel very pumped since I have been doing this. Marietta really helped me get my legs stronger. She knows what she is talking about too. I miss her not checking in here.

Sunnyside,

Oh I do envy you with the bike ride. I miss being on my bike. Too much rain here lately with this storm. Maybe I can learn to canoe? Have fun though!

Diane Sue,

I would not want to be in your way when you kickbox. No way!!!! lol. Have fun with your workouts.

DB,

Have a nice rest day! Are you getting any of this rain from the storm?

Adri,

I did stretch max once. You should get some more pictures of yourself so we can see the progress you are making.

Meg,

I hope you get in a good workout this evening. Hope it doesn't rain for you when your at the fair. Don't eat that nasty cotton candy or the grease dipped fries. You better be good now. I know you will...just being goofy. Enjoy yourself, k?

Lora,

How can you get tired of pain? I know that P90X reminds me of someone taking a babydoll and throwing it across the room. Must really beat up your body? That is why I can't wait to order the program, but I KEEP BUYING SO MUCH OF OTHER STUFF SO I CAN'T!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Charlotte~~
 
Well, I'm back from my Mt. Bike ride and feeling fine!:) It's so fun!
I took a different route (a little higher up) and got a much better workout for the short time of 1 hr. It had a kiiiiillller hill. I couldn't make it up with out some pit-stops and my happy-place gear was not happy. LOL!! My dog chased a HUGE Jack Rabbit for the first time and I had to go up ANOTHER huge hill to find her. She never chases rabbits. So, this was a shocker.

Charlotte and Debbie, this Total body rotation you are doing looks very cool. I think you are both doing the same one???

Doesn't Drill Max look awesome to you guys? (insert witches laugh) I love that. }(

Hope I didn't miss anyone.:)

Debbie- That sounds cool. I do leg extensions and ham curls w/ machines at the gym. Its cool you can do it at your house:)

Charlotte- My camera isn't working now. Its in the shop. I posted something about it in Open Discusion a while ago. All of a sudden it wouldn't turn on, but it wasn't the battery. I already have a picture trail set up, I just need to get the pics on it. I will soon though;-)

Sunnyside- I really excited about Drill Max. I preordered that one and Butts & Guts. I can't wait!

Have a good day everyone:)

Wow - all kinds of stuff just happened here to do with my boss and the Director of HR questioning me. It has become unbearable around here today............and if it continues, I can't work like this.

I may have to vent to you ladies when I'm out of here. I can't beleieve this is happening. I feel like I've been "set up" to bring my boss down.....not right at all! It's backfiring in my face too...as she's being worse to me now than ever. Too long to explain here and now.
 
Lora- Its ok just let it out. I helps some. Thats one reason why were here (other to talk about fitness;-))If it keeps continueing my suggestion is to just quit. I mean you probaly think "oh easy for me to say I don't work" but seriously my mom did it before. The doctor she worked for just pissed her off to the limit where she was checking on her and everyone else to make sure they weren't "doing" anything without her permission (they have to ask the doctors permission on almost everything}(). My Mom was the only one who put her foot down and left. My Mom is very headstrong and won't take
sh!t from anyone!

Sorry, just had to share that with you;-)

Good afternoon,
My workout today was Kick Max Bootcamp premix(no str), Turbo Jam Punch Kick & Jam cardio only using my weighted gloves, Core Max Tough Core,2 sets ea. 45# barbell rollouts on toes 15 reps, hanging knee raise w/15# med ball 12 reps, woodchops on ball 25# 25 reps, I also did 45#barbell rollouts on Tough core instead of ball. Then I did GS calves w/ a 25# dumbbell and the stretch.

Dallys, I usually added onto my cardio when doing P90X. Kempo and TJ would be a good combo. I bought the TJ's after I did p90x. I always did did Yoga X though. That was my first yoga dvd. BTW I don't know if I said welcome to the checkin:)

Maeghan have fun at the fair:)

Charlotte, I kind of laughed when you said P90X made you think of throwing a babydoll. Especially when I picture Tony having you do this one move on triceps he calls throw the bomb. There are some wicked tough moves on these and huge amounts of pushups. Makes me cringe even though I loved it:)

Lora, you have been taking it for so long I would think by now you might be halfway immune. Sorry, I hope things turn out for the good. Keep your chin up. I hope it is now too unbearable.

Diane Sue- thats a great ab workout. I do a lot of barbell rollouts. They really test your abs}(

Lora- Hope everything works out for you w/ your boss. Like I said before, don't take anyones sh!t;-)

Take Care!

I got in KenpoX with weighted gloves. Decided to skip TJ as my hubby came home from work early.:)

Lora, You are so strong dealing with your crazy work and crazier boss! I hope it's all ok. I'm so glad I'm self employed. I have no tolerence threshold.:-( You're tuff stuff.

WD, Thanks for the welcome. :) You have the most killer ab workouts! Where's the bow down smilie? :)

It's stretch and rest for me tomorrow, but I'm itching for another bike ride with Hubby.

Have a great weekend!

I'm home - it's late and I don't know who'll see it - but here's the predicament I'm in at work. I'll try to do the short version - but you know me!

I was up in HR the other day using the Xerox, as our normal machine was jammed. The secretary there really likes me and goes out of her way for me cuz she knows WHO i work for! Anyway, you ladies know I was called into my boss's supervisors offive a month or so ago (they're trying to get rid of her) and asked questions about my boss. I stood my ground and wouldn't rat her out. I was loyal and basically said she yells sometimes but it's no big deal she gets over it.

End of that part of the story.....well the other day, while up in HR, the secretary introduces me to the Director of HR and said who I worked for. At that point, I was sort of asked a lot of questions and put on the spot. All I kept saying is that I had to get back to my desk, as Phyllis doesn't like when I'm gone from my desk. This irritated the Director so much that she told me "no one should be this nervous and afraid to be away from their desk". She stated she didn't like to see "her employees" in this situation. I answered some questions for her and basically said nothing derogatory about my boss...except that when I make mistakes, she gets frustrated and yells a little, but it's no big deal.

So ...this morning (first thing), my boss gets called to an emergency meeting with the Director of HR and VP of HR. She comes back from this meeting and she is treating me REALLY mean. Having me type notes up to myself (cuz she can't type) saying things like I can't make mistatkes in my work, blah, blah, etc. Totally ridiculous stuff. It's now turned into major intimidating behavior. She'll stand over my shoulder waiting for work she just gave me and talk real mean to me.

My problem is that I was fine that way it was before, and I CANNOT go on the way it is now! I feel "used" for HR pulling me in the middle of this. I even said to my boss, I don't know why you're acting like you hate me, I didn't say anything derogatory about you. She replied, you didn't have to. They said you were a nervous wreck being away from your desk and you're "scared" of me. I guess they made her sign a paper saying she won't yell at her employees.

Anyway, the thing that really gets me ......is that when I came back from HR that day, she did ask me where I'd been and did get mad....so I don't get it! What did I even do wrong here? I respect my boss and want to do a good job...so I'm conscientious about getting back to my desk quickly.............and if HR construes this as nervous and afraid......what am I supposed to say???

Lastly, let me just say that I think my boss wouuld be stupid at this point to continue to intimidate me and treat me this way (even though she's not yelling - this is worse) and I basically feel like the ball is my court, as all it would take is one meeting with HR and I can take her down if I wanted to....but I dont' want to.....on the other hand....if she continues to be like she was today, I'll be forced to go to HR. I'm just so frustrated that they did this to me. They want to take her down and I feel I'm being used ......."the straw that broke the camels back".

Next week, if she's being ridiculous, I might try scare tactics and say "excuse me, I have to go up to HR for an appointment". I'll be back in a little while"!!!!!! okay I'm done venting. I welcome thoughts, comments, suggestions or PRAYERS! Thanks for listening. I know I can be lengthy. }(

ETA: hope this makes sense cuz I'm babbling again
 
Lora thats good. Not hte situation, don't get me wrong thats wicked awful, but thats good your letting it out and venting. It really helps.

Anyway, I would say "hey listen boss, its a 2 way street. If you can be a b!tch so can I}( " Well maybe I would'nt say exactley that to your boss, but just keep that in mind. Its a 2 way street. Just because someone treats you like crap doesn't mean you have to take it. Just remember, your such a great person and anyone boss if treats you like crap doesn't deserve to have you work there;-)

HTH some. Take Care

Lora - I don't understand why you feel you need to be loyal towards that bitch. All you do is complain about how stressful it is to work there and you had a perfect out. If they are trying to get rid of her - LET THEM!!! I tell you what, I would have spilled my guts a long time about, I would NOT work in that situation if they paid me $20 an hour. Its unacceptable to me and should be to you as well. Obviously they know what she is doing, they need some evidence to can her. Why not give it to them? How can it possible get any worse if you did?
 
Debbie -It was bearable before, cuz it was more like it was just her personality.....but at this point, if she continues to be like this, yes, you are right!! what reason do I have not to give her up!! Believe me ...my wheels are spinning. I contemplated taking a Leave of Absence for a couple of weeks and my DH is threatening Lawsuit for putting me in this predicement with her when they know how she is! That's what I'm saying....is I was loyal for her and stood up and now I get this crap!! I'm sort of hoping it blows over and goes back to normal. I really don't want to be the one to bring her down. I don't like to be like that! I know I complain and I know she's wrong a lot, but I was used to it like that and it was tolerable. I guess I'm used to taking a little abuse here and there....but there's a difference between that and what is happening now.
 
Lora,

I am with Debbie on this. I would be jumping up and down and shouting for joy if given the opportunity to tell them about this boss. I would give them everything they wanted to know and then some. Your boss thinks she can control you and manipulate you. She is not respecting you either. What needs to be done here is stop giving her what she wants by not speaking up about the situation, it seems to making things worse. You don't deserve to be treated this way by that freak. Surprise her and catch her off guard. Go off to a mountain top and tell the world the way it is!

Hope your not mad at me. Just trying to think of you.

Charlotte~~
 
Lora- I have to agree with Deb and Charlotte! You in NO WAY should have to deal with that treatment on a daily basis! The toll it takes on you mentally and physicallly, emotionally, it isn't worth it. If you tell the truth, you aren't doing anything wrong! If she gets fired, she did it to herself! I hope you change your mind and tell them how it is. Don't let her have the satisfaction of being a miserable SOB and get away with it.
I hope you can think about it and relax this weekend. Good luck! Just want you to be alright!

Charlotte, OMG! I had a little nachos, a little fried dough, ice cream! I had a healthy chicken breast for dinner, but boy I feel yucky form all that garbage!

I haven't done a WO yet, but I have been on my feet all day, and then worked at the diner, and I always burn some calories there. I SHOULD WO, but I am beat. It is already 9:30. I think I might do a rest day, and then do a killer WO tomorrow when I have more time. I am working at the diner till 2pm and then have the rest of the day. I WILL NOT step on the scale in the morning. Well, knowing me I will LOL!

We did have a really good time. The kids LOVE the tractors that are everywhere. The animals were great too. The weather was perfect. They are calling for rain all weekend (left overs from Earnesto). So maybe Monday we will go again, with DH.
