Team Muskle – Training Log: Current Routine

I’m on Phase 2 of this workout – to add 10lbs of muscle and work on my X shape (big quads, slimwaist, broad shoulders).

Here’s the breakdown, modified from a Muscle & Fitness routine, edited for the equipment my gym has and the exercises I like doing:

Team Muskle Training Log – Welcome

Okay, this is the poop.

A few weeks back, at a Bears Dim Sum Gobble here in San Diego, a few of us on the post gobble coffee break were discussing lifting.  My buddy Steve (www.The-Bear-Den.com) and Dave (Pwwrlift) asked me how much I pressed, etc — then discussed amongst themselves.

Turning to me, “Have you ever considered competing in powerlifting?”

This is a douchebag free zone please

I chat online.

Yeah, y’all know that – well most of ya since you found this blog as a link from my profile from some homo chat someplace.

So there’s a helluva lotta douchebags online.
‘Nuff said?

But please – let’s make this a douchebag free zone.
That is all.

Please return to your normal chatting and remember: Thou Shalt Not Suffer A Douchbag to Chat

2008 The Year in Review; AKA – No Way 2009 Can Suck as Bad

Ah yes, what a lovely year!

• The Exciting news is my hubby of 7 years dumped me like yesterdays coffee grounds.  Monday it was picking out the tile on our pool remodel, Wed he was drunk and ‘wasn’t happy’ (no counselling), Friday he was ‘Get out’.  Stupid me wasn’t on the title — so guess who got financially screwed?  Lovely!
• Dating a Trophy Cub.  Yum!  But the cutest ones are always the most insane, and he followed in kind.
• Travelled 140,000miles  to teach and perform Arabic dance.  9 Countries.  Eat it, bitches!
• Got back onto the working out thing, and cut down 45lbs, and build back 25 of that in muscle (4 sizes smaller in pants!)
• Rebuilt my goals for my 40s and got back to some of the goals I overlooked due to being in a 7 year emotionally abusive relationship with said douchebag in Item #1.
• Oh, found out over the course the rest of the year that said douchebag was also cheating on me when I was out of town.  Trust? What’s that!  What a f*ckin douchebag.

So as 2009 begins, I have new goals – I’m training for competition powerlifting. I’m back to 245 and a 32″ waist, 18″ biceps and big hairy tanned tattooed bod.  Loving life!  LOVING Being single even though I’ve dated one guy since bein single – and no, not alot of NSA sex – just having a good time!  Maybe someone will come along. I have my friends, good friends, and I get to travel worldwide.

And shopping for a condo.

It’s a beautiful beginning.

Good freakin riddance 2008!

Intolerance is the new Change

So many decades have been marked by the way our leaders have moved forward. It’s interesting, things like cothing worn by presidents and first lady’s have influenced fashions, foods (remember jelly bellys?  those nasty little bits of sugary earwax getting international popularity from the endorsement by His Holiness “Let the Eat Jelly Beans” Reagan?) and of course social interactions.

Our culture moves forward based on who we vote into office.

December 26, 2008 – And I have reached a long time goal!

For those of you who don’t work out, I’m sure you can dismiss this posting to vanity and narcissism.  Anyone who wants to tell you there is no vanity and narcissism in lifting weights to build muscle is lying to you and themselves.  It is, of course, more than that.  It is a matter of health – the extra muscle tho is fun. It’s nice to have goals – it’s nice to reach them. I like muscles on  guys, and it feels good to look in the mirror and even tho I know I’m goofy and dorky underneath the fur, muscles & tattoos – I feel good. 

I got a stalk-errr…for x-maaaaaasss

Psycho Freak

Ooh, okay so this is a delicious one to have for our lovely holiday season.

So, it’s no secret that we socialize online.  It’s not secret that we put pics up, but we’re real people in real life.  It’s no secret we’re on a number of different sites for a number of different…*ahem*…reasons.

Well, awhile back this guy on Bear411 chats me up.  Okay, I’m not a looksist…but physical attraction is part of the formula and hunney we were NOT going to look into this recipe.

Belgian Tranny Post Punk Pop!

Wow! Home from Europe

What an exciting trip!

I’ll update a bunch of anecdotes about our trip…it was SO much fun:

• Chicago, IL for a day to Visit with Christina & Audrey of Blue Lotus Tribe in a day at the Field Museum
• Brussels, Belgium for some sightseeing, work for me, waffles, tours and snow
• High Speed train to Gare du Nord, Paris – then on to Romorantin, France
• Visit with my friend Anne in Romorantin, good food, good friends in a small village in France
• Back to Paris for sightseeing, some work and LOTS more sightseeing!

I’ve posted some of my pics on Flickr – I’ll update them shortly with Scotty’s pics when we exchange them.

Bonjour from Paris

Just a quick note to say howdy – we have some amazing pics!  It’s our last day in Paris.  Heading to the Rodin museum.  Not sure why they look at me funny when I ask them…in French mind you…  Where is the giant pteradctyl?

Okay, enuf for now.  French keyboards are too different for me…ack!
