2007-06-23T12:59:00.000-07:00

I saw a sticker yesterday that made me smile. It read:

What if the hokey pokey is what its all about??

Posting again?......Already?

2007-01-16T06:29:00.000-08:00

I'm back posting again as promised. Not much has changed except I'm now 27. And suprisingly I feel the same. I'm not sure what I expected, I guess I thought that something would fall of but it didn't. Maybe I was thinking that I would wake up and I'd be fat and grey and wrinkly (not that there is anthing wrong with that I love my grammy) But you know. Anyway everything is going well and I'm going to get in a kick a$$ lower body workout today and I'm thinkg of trying complexes sometime this week.

We are all awaiting Jen's big win We all know she got it! I keep checking her blog for that post!

Happy tuesday all!

Finally a picture

2006-12-29T17:38:00.000-08:00

I know it has been a very long time and One day I will do better about posting. Things have been going good and I'm down to about 135. Everything is going well except the heavy leg day, It huts my hernia so I had to lower my weights there a bit. Other than that all is well. My birthday is coming up and I will be 27 OMG the only thing that makes me feel older is my 5 foot 9 year old.

I promise to post more often.

Hummmm I forgot how to post a picture!

Still here... Really I am.

2006-10-31T06:58:00.000-08:00

I'm still alive and and hitting the weights and I juat need to report that I was upto 156 lbs and I'm down to 141lbs. I'm feeling reallt good. I did find out I have a hernia and wll be having surgery so thats going to be a good 4-6 weeks off. Ugh. I'm going to put it off until the first week of January. Just before my birthday YAY! I haven't been on the puter much. I havent been myself lately. I really need to get on more and post. I really miss Jen and skwigg blog, her muscle fetish, and all my freinds on bodyforlifers. I bet I haven't been on in 2 good months.
I will do better I promise.

Oh I got my hair done. Blond streaks, lots of them I will post a picture this week. Tell me what you think HONESTLY!

OH HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Tanya

2006-10-05T05:47:00.000-07:00

I have just been sick lately. My body got used to a certian # of calories and is in "Oh hell no" mode. I'm just trying to survive. I have had a ear infection a bladder infection and a cold ugh.
I do have a Dr. appointment for friday incase I don't feel better. I will know more on the weight loss then.

I have been thinking about all the Bfl in tenneessee this weekend I hope they have a blast.

Who's Jack?

2006-09-20T16:16:00.000-07:00

Things have been going well and I lost a pound and a half in the first week of my cut. We went to the Oklahoma state fair on sunday and I passed on everything except a smoked turkey leg which I pulled off the skin. And then had a salad at applebees when we left. My workouts didn't last long on the 3 day full body routine and I went back to the 4 day upper lower split. and I'm doing 2 days SS cardio and 3 days hiit.

Last week Mariah (she is 2) Said mom I'm hungry, I said Ok what do you want? She said I want to eat!! Heehee. She looked at me like I was a tard.

And on the way to the fair the In-laws were following us, It was raining really hard and my hubby was looking through the back window trying to see if they were still back there, He said "I can't see Jack through that window" Makenah said "who's Jack"? I laughed so hard. Hummmm.... Come to think of it I do't think I ever answered her. I should probably do that!

T

UGH!

2006-09-14T12:27:00.000-07:00

I threw up again last night, I didn't even het in a full workout. I got in 4 sets of squats and some pullups the during my 3rd set of deadlifts I lost it. I still feel like ASS. Just thought you guys should know!
Tanya

Time to cut I guess.

2006-09-12T12:52:00.000-07:00

Thanks for the comments on the hair I think I'm going to go lighter.

Yesterday was day 1. I started my full body 3 day per week and did HIIT too. I ate 1313 calories and I'm planning on eating a little more than that today. Today is SS cardio and I'm hoping this weight comes off. We will see I havent done pictures or measurements but I'm planning on it this week.

I spent this last weekend sick and I went to see my Mom in arkansas and was sick the whole time. I had plans to call Jen (1leanmom) and try and meet up but didn't want to pass along any germs so I missed that.

Well thats all in my life. I'm out!

What a diffrence hair makes!

2006-09-06T06:43:00.000-07:00

Which one do you guys like better. Dark or light? I'm needing a change for the new season and I'm not sure wather I want to go light or dark. Theese were taken on the same day just the diffrence of my hair being up or down. Having it up hides my highlights.

Choices, Choices.

Fat Day

2006-09-01T17:10:00.000-07:00

Ok I have been bulking for a couple months now and some days are better than others. I totally feel like I have been riding the lard pony for way to long. Honestly I feel like I'm in the oreo express straight to fatdom. But this afternoon I was standing in the hallway under the light trying to beat the platform perils level on the girls gameboy for them. Makenah was watching me, wating for me to succeed. And She says (out of nowhere) Mom I can see your muscles. I nearly applauded myself into unconisousness. REALLY??? WHERE? WHICH ONES? She looks at me totally in disbeleif or total disgust I'm still not sure which. She said your arms and walked away totally amazed that such a small comment could make a grown woman scream with delight.

Its the samll things that keep me going.

T

Is it cuttin' time YET?

2006-08-28T18:16:00.000-07:00

I'm almost done with my little bulk session. I have 1-2 weeks left. I'm glad its almost over, yet I'm nervous about any changes I have made in my physique. I feel like I have gained some muscle in my legs, We shall see I just hope this stubborn fat comes off! I have been at 2000 calories for 4 weeks now. I'm up from 700-900 calorie range so I'm pretty proud of that. I have to admit I'm going to miss the freedom that comes with the bulking, I only do SS cardio 3 x per week MAX. I can actually eat out, I still try and eay healthy but its not as harsh. I enjoy that. I love to liftt heavy though and the 5x5 routine is just my thing. I hope this works cause its time to get lean!

The missing link.

2006-08-23T18:31:00.000-07:00

I still cannot figure out this link thing for the life of me.

Any suggestions?

Makenah's 7!

Makenah turned 7 today, I had her a pool party on sunday. Can anybody explain to me why we had a pink party when her favorite color is purple?? Hummmm......

Everything went well except mariah, the baby fell into the deep end of the and almost drowned. It scared the crap out of me. If my friend haden't seen her go down the slide, Thank you SHANA!! Is totally was screaming get the baby, get the baby, I couldn't get there fast enought runnng and screaming get the baby ( because I had obviously heard her) And my cousin John (THANK YOU JOHN) Reach out and grabbed her, I got her wrapped her in a towel and held her for a long time I didn't even feel better after she stopped chokeing a coughing. It was horriable she is only 2 and jusy rolling around just under the surface with her eyes wide and looking around. Did I say how scared I was??
And the my lovley hubby was that why you don't let then get out of your site with out a life jacket on, ( I agree with tghis tooo) but hed said it so passive and just so la te da, I wanted to slap him! And then he said thats why those thigs don't happen when I'm around, Duh your never around you were inside watching the tv, so bite me. Anywa way that was our day.

911? Oh Shit!!!

2006-08-17T06:19:00.000-07:00

I have never talked to my children about 911. We live out in the country ( yes our road is paved and no its not a trailer) We just recently got 911, but before I never bothered ducessing it. Well my neice had broken her leg so the family gathered at childrens hospital ER in oklahoma city. This place was sooo busy as always. Well I'm visiting with my mother and her friend and the children are playing nicely. I'm saying no, you cant play with that.....no don't touch that.... No not that either.... Because it may have germs thats why. We are in a freaking ER for crying out loud so what are they supossed to do. Well they played arround a bit and the police bust in....... Is everyone all right....... Waht? Were in a Er, besides broken bones and sneezing were fine why? Well............ Some called 911!! What who would do that? Seriously what kind of mother lets their kid call 911 on the phone. Then I notice Makenah (my 6 year old) In the corner crying. Well ..... it look like I'm that kind of mother! I didn't even know she knew 911 And I tell the nice officers It coudn't be her she dosent even know 911. he replies Um..... Mam....... its on the phone......... DUH!?!?!?!? Makenah looks up says mom it was me. Oh shit!!

Workout

2006-08-16T07:11:00.000-07:00

Has anyone watched this show on bravo? It comes on every tuesday at 9pm central. I love this show and reccomend it to anyone who works out. Its kinda a inside scoop on personal trainer and how they live their lives. Well maybe not normal personal trainers but you know.

My diet is still around 2000 cals per day and I'm finding that I'm not geeting enough cals in during the day and I binge at night to "catch up " on cals. I need to work on that. Workout are right on though. And my local YMCA is having a auction next monday and I'm hoping to get a squat rack and maybe some plates. I will be handing out pointers to the girls that bid on the little pink ones though. If You lift them 512 times, with will get toned :P
I went to the Dr. yesterday and I'm upto 146! BLARG! UGH! SHIT! lol
This stuff better come off. Or I will run my car off the nearest bridge!

HAPPY HUMP DAY EVERYONE!!

Oh I saw a shrit a pennys I'm going to have to go buy it reads

2006-08-09T10:47:00.002-07:00

Ok I don't know how many of you guys caught this show on oxygen channel monday night but I used the tivo and I watched it last night. A word to you guys if you plan on watching this do not attempt close to bed time. I watched it last night and I was seriously about to fall asleep, I mean I could barely hold my eyes open and the they started fighting and I got really excited screaming kick her a$$ and I couldn't go to sleep after that. I got so pupmed that a dose of nyquil and bynadryl (or however the heck you spell it) and still could fall asleep. Needless to say I'm like a walking zombie todat and not to mention I dont eat many carbs on wednesday and do cardio only. Yay freakin Yay ;P

My new favorite quote

2006-08-08T17:02:00.000-07:00

Just thought I'd pop in and post this up. I heard it somewhere yesterday and it really stuck and I'm going to apply it to my daily life and I thought those of you who workout would understand.

"Average is as close to the bottom as it is to the top"

Mmmmmmm ........ I don't wanna be average! Anyway time for big brothe all stars!! Janille is going to win the power veto for sure! and then what??

Tanya

I love my heavy upper body workout.

2006-08-08T10:16:00.000-07:00

Today was upper body heavy and I have to say its my favorite workout of the week. I love lifting heavy in general. I think high reps suck. And I hate more than anything to see some pansy a$$ lifting 3 lbs 52 times because they are scared of getting to bulky. Obviously they have never tried to gain muscle cause it is actually hard to do. I have been lifting weights for 9 years now and I have to admit I started with those little pink dumbells too. I have since gotten smart and started lifting those big scary black suckers and yes I make faces too.
I thought I was only going to have to stay at maintenance calories for 2 weeks but it turns out that I'm going to be there more like 4-6 weeks! UGH We will se if I can handle it for that long. Only time will tell.
Makenah's birthday party is comming up and I was planning on making diffrent flavored lip glosses with the girls but I'm having a hrd time finding and little containers with screw on lids to put them in. Any ideas on where to get them??

Thanks, T

French kissing ??

2006-08-05T10:20:00.000-07:00

There comes a time when I think you should stop kissing your children on the lips and and my girls are 8,6 and 2 now the older girls are old enough that I'm like ok no more. So when Iput them to bed I kiss them on either side of the cheek, Now lets see where did that come from oh yeah france, so at night I'd say no, french kiss. Not thinking of the gross tongue realated version. Well one night they went to give daddy a kiss goodnight and he went to kiss them and my 6 year old said " NO DADDY, FRENCH KISS!!!" He jumped up out of the recliner ready to kill somebody. I said now wait a minute and expalind it all. Needless to say when have now changed the name to Euro-kiss ;P

WTF???? High Cholesterol???

2006-08-02T07:14:00.000-07:00

Ok I went to my Dr. for some blood work no biggie, she called me the next day to let me know I have high cholesterol! Very high is 190 mine is 226!! She said to cut down on cheese, fried foods, and stuff like that! WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I don't eat that stuff. I said I work out 5 x per week eat tons of veggies yadda yadda yadda. So its probably my family history, Figures! The only good news was my good cholesterol was also high. I searched a list online to lower my LDL and I was already doing everything on that damn list!! WHAT NOW??

Attack of the unwanted fence painter!

2006-07-28T05:40:00.000-07:00

Ok Saterday a old man stopped by Can I paint your fence, Now I would have done it my self but I just hadn't gotten around to buting the paint. Its a metal fence btw. I said well how much? Hes said $1.50 a foot. I said I'll have to speak to hubby and he left his # and left I never called so I figure he got the hint right? NO WAY he came the next day, I was in the middle of a set and no way I'm gonna have a fence debate when I can finish my workout. So I didn't answer the door kids playng and all he had to know I was home and he was being avoided right? NO WAY. He came by the following day (keep in mind this is a sweet looking old man) I said dose the price include the paint ? He said yes, said here is my number call my hubby after 4 pm. No he is off my back onto hubbys right? Well he called at 4:07pm ok well hubby isnt home yet so I'll have hubby call you. Well he came over AGAIN! Hubby thalked to him outside for a while and he left I was busy on the phone and such and we didn't discuss it, next morning I woke up and to my suprise hes painting the fence. I still feel sorry for the lil old man and when hubby got ome he informed me he told the old guy NO WTF are you kidding me? Who does this??? SO they paint ours and the neighbors (who also said no) and hubby goes out there and he says so you think you can pay me today?? WTF!!?!?!? Hubby was like I told you not to I really dont have the money today. So he said well... when you do pay me maybe you could tip me a little cause I had to buy and extra 5 gallons that I wasn't planning on!!!

WTF!!?!?! TIP?!?! Heres a tip, Don't paint fences when you are told no! DUH!!

Only in oklahoma!

Thinking about the SH*%%Y future!

2006-07-27T11:20:00.000-07:00

I did 45 minutes of cardio yesterday and my calories were this: cal/fat/pro/carb
1150
49
32.9
100
I do a low carb day when I dont lift. And yes my cals were a little low cause I missed a meal but I have learned that a weekly caloric check is just as good as a daily. I try and avrage it all out but If I'm low on one day I normally add 100 calories everyday for the next 4 days or I 'll just pick it up on my free day. Does that make sense?

I'm sure enjoying these calories and my free days that I'm going to be such a B&*%*$ when I cut so you guys dont get used to my kindness Its gonna get Nasty come mid august, I'm just sayin.

Weekends RULE!! Potty training sucks.

2006-07-23T12:47:00.001-07:00

I had a great weeknd and I'm really enjoying my free day's Thats right free day's I have extended it to 2 days! I got to counting my calories on my free day and I was only eating 1500-1800 calories on my free day, granted it's not the best of choices but hey I now have learned to let go and enjoy some stuff. My biggest thing is CEREAL!! MMMMMM Anyway needless to say if I have a huge free day I won't do 2 days and once I start cutting I won't be doing it much at all. I hope everyone had a stupendous weekend!

We are currently potty training our 2 year old daughter, And it BLOWS! She will hold it as long as she can in hope of getting a diaper on. For instance, She gets a diaper when we go bye bye and during nap time and nite time ONLY if I can't convince her to peepee in the potty before nap time I put a diaper on her and she soaks it in minutes. And she will walk around wiggleing so she can hold it. I tell her to sit on the potty and she cries and will sit there and hold it as long as she can. Then she will trickle a bit (just enought so she can hold it for a few more minutes. And will want up I have to sit her back down and tell her to give me more, If I make her sit ther long enough so will go. I'm just not suer waht the problem is I have never seen anything like it. Any Suggestions??

Finally back on.

2006-07-22T09:33:00.000-07:00

The forum at www.bodyforlifers.com is finally back on. It was down for a while and I missed chatting with all my friends so I'm happy it on now. And the improvements were worth the wait! Post up!!

Lean and mean?? How about fat and squishy?

2006-07-21T21:26:00.000-07:00

It seems like everyone else has a blog these days so I'm commited to keeping one.

The lean and mean has gone now that I'm currently increasing my calories from my 900 cals a day to 2000 per day then I will come back down and see if I can lean out. I plan on increasing my cals by like 10-20% per week. At maintenance for 2 weeks and hopefully buy mid august I'll be starting my cutting plan.

Now we will se if any actually reads this thing ;)

I'm new to this!
