(This won't be as effective if you have not heard the song "I kissed a girl"
I felt an ab and I liked it
Made me not eat chocolate
I felt an ab, had to poke it
Wasn't too hard to find it
It felt so right and oh so tight
So Do another crunch
I felt an ab and I liked it
The tire's going flat
FatLady Rocks, She is the tops
My abs are coming in
I felt an Ab, I felt an Ab
This song is at an end.
-----------------------------
I am still working out the lyrics, but that is what goes through my head as feel my abs =D
Other new and exciting business??? Not really. On the treadmill I am working at 3.2 with a 6 incline. That gets my heart pumping! But at least it is not running. I am not liking the running business - too hard on my knees. (Yes, an excuse). But the inclines are working great.
Mountain climbers are not my bag. (I do a plank thingy and "run" - bring my knees up to my chest as quickly as I can.
I think my favorite part about working out is the hot shower afterwards.
I get to work out at 10am on Monday!!!! Yippeeee - no 4am wake up call.
All weekend I am horsing around. Does that count as cardio??? I will track my calorie burn and let us know!
FatLady and her Abs - Out!

FatLadys and Scooters DON'T mix
RB is a truly horrible individual. Today I met the scooter. The essence of this exercise is to place your TOES on the scooter and assume a push-ups position. After you have "stabilized" - virtually impossible on a scooter - you draw your legs up to your chest and then back into a stretched out position, all while keeping the toes on the scooter.
Remember the whining about the butt balance exercise??? (I deny nothing). Well, today he upped the fun by handing me a 12 pound rod to hold on to while I raise and lower my legs. SO, balancing on the butt in a V position, holding said bar in the air above my head, and lowering and raising my legs. FatLadys don't cry. That is what I keep telling myself. So far it's working.
Random sidebar - I warmed up this morning on the treadmill for 15 min and walked at 3.2 on a 6.0 incline. THAT was effective in getting the ticker going - all the way up to 162!
The weighing in has been disappointing. Clothes are fitting differently, but I don't seem to be losing yet. =( I am even watching portions and counting calories. Everyone has said, "More Cardio." So I am SURE that is the answer, but finding the time is sooooo difficult. AND, I would think that even what I am DOING already would start to show a little! Welcome to a life long battle. Sometimes it really sucks. Although I am feeling better.

Squats & Lunges are FatLady Hell
I really, really, really hate squats and lunges. RB's new favorite torture exercise is front to back lunge/squat thingys. They suck big donkey balls. (Grandma, I apologize for saying big donkey balls, but FatLady is just tellin' it how it is).
I came in strong this morning and fizzled out about half way through the workout, but that is what happens when he starts with lunges and squats. I am doing really well with my upper body workouts. I can feel my muscles firing up. I HATE the balance on your butt exercise and hold your hands and feet in the air - and then lower and raise your legs slowly. That is a definite ab screamer exercise.
I need to do more cardio. It is so hard to find time! Crazy FatLady is taking a summer class that meets 2X per week for 3 1/2 hours! It is insane. But I will prevail.
This weekend's goal - 1 cardio session and one body mass session. And definite horse time.
FatLady
PS - I am quite creative. RB can stand for Robert-Bob OR Rat Bastard (Grandma, I apologize for saying Rat Bastard - But in my defense you would TOTALLY agree with me if you were in my place). You will have to read into FatLady's tone to decifer which context she is using in the moment. Fair enough, eh =D

No Nekked FatLadys!!!!
The women's locker room at the gym is undergoing some renovations. Last Thursday the women's locker room became the men's, and vice versa. The men's locker room is the first on the hallway and many men are on autopilot when they walk in at 445 am...understandably so. I was not surprised to walk into a man coming out of the temporary women's locker room! Oops for him! Awkward.
From 445am to 630am I saw 4 men walk in and out of the women's temporary locker room. Not good. I made sure to choose a locker in the center on the hope that any man would realize he is in the wrong locker room by the time he meets the first set of lockers. Seeing nekked FatLadies is grounds for multiple psychiatric sessions.
My workouts are getting more rigorous. RB is only allowing me 15 seconds of rest between sets. He is SO MEAN. By the way (BTW), a rep (repetition) is how many times you do an exercise back to back; a set is how many times you repeat the reps. SO, I have to do 3 sets of 8 lunges (exercise from hell). I lunge 8 times, rest for 15 sec, lunge 8 times, rest 15 sec, and so on.
The throwing up business is on the down low - no incidents for a couple of weeks now. This has not been too exciting today, but so it goes. It is kind of hard to top men in the ladies locker room.

Good workout Friday and Baaaaad FatLady all Weekend
Nothing too new and exciting in Fatlady World. I have been working on a stupid long paper and that is my excuse for no cardio =( My Friday session was good and there was virtually no sick feelings! Robert-Bob changed a few of my exercises and they are HARD. Did I mention I hate him. So, anyway, the end of the session was interesting. He took this roller thingy (yes I am an English teacher) and rolled the knots out of my legs. It was extremely painful and fascinating...it hurt so good. When he was done my knees felt better and my legs were all loosened up!
I am trying to be good and stick to my diet. We just spent a brazillion dollars on healthy groceries, lean meats, and celery. Blech! but I guess it won't kill me.
Tomorrow I hit the gym at 0500 =( RB's Monday client is back so no more 530 for me. Oh well. I can just be super productive when I get to school at 630am!
Lucky me.

Bad Fatlady, Bad
My excuse is a 20 page paper. I wanted to work out Wednesday morning but I stayed up too late on Tuesday working on the beast. So I stayed in bed until the last possible moment!
I did make it to the gym on Tuesday with KT. We decided to do the bikes, and to be honest, it wasn't that great. I don't feel like a got a good workout. The highlight of the day was explaining to KT why I always pick the same locker. My rationale is that I always know where I am and I don't forget my number. KT reminded me as a good friend would "Loser, the number is on the key." Oh yeah, well, I am way too busy to pay attention to a small detail like that.
So in my depression on Wednesday I had a very naughty moment and I...ATE A CANDY BAR. YEAH BABY! I broke down and I DID IT. Do I feel awful now, yeah. But it was pretty darn good at the time. I will just have to run a little extra tonight (Thursday). That little calorie boost helped me through 7 pages of my paper, though. So I have to think that it was worth it.
I see Robert-Bob tomorrow. Hopefully I will have some good stories!

Boo, Fatlady, Boo
I am not doing a good job of blogging everyday! But sometimes Fatlady's life is just not that interesting. My last two workouts (Today & Friday) have gone really well. I am building up resistance and Robert-Bob has been pushing me more. I have also managed to NOT spew anything in two weeks now! I usually feel pretty sick right after the workout for about 20 minutes. It is always a crapshoot whether I will make it or not. So far, so good.
Today RB introduced a new torture device. I got to sit on the edge of this half ball thing and he made me hold these bands and do sit ups. Suddenly I have abs. They are in there somewhere because they were screaming bloody murder after four reps. THEN RB made me sit to the right and to the left and I thought I was going to DIE. Death by sneaky ab work out.
The rest of the workout was uneventful and I managed not to toot =) Fatlady horror as everything loosens up in there! RB stretches me out at the end and I always worry about the pressure. One of these days a little (or big) one might slip out and I will be mortified!
Last night in bed my mind was going a million miles a minute and I decided to totally commit to a healthy eating style. I am logging my food on http://www.livestrong.com/ and it is awesome. Today for lunch I am having an apple, a cup of corn and green beans, 4 half stalks of celery with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to make it go down easier, 1 piece of wheat bread, and a stick of string cheese. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I will survive this.
oh, and TWO David Lauer cookies. SO THERE.
I want to be a fit (skinny) HOT barrel racing babe. So I am going to GO FOR IT.
Starting Thursday I am jumping into Ride, Fatlady, Ride!
