Laini gives it (yet another) shot

[goodwince]

Haha we all need to read more

I, unfortunately, sometimes read too much and not enough fiction!! I have issues about learning lmao.

Heh. Finding out the other day that my bar was 15 pounds less put me into a lifting funk, but I realized that I was going to have to learn sometime.. better now than when I'm trying to show my abilities! I have my days, but overall I've learned that even if I feel like crap.

I've just learned through my early-life independence that no one can pull you through, but you. So here I am haha. I had it a little rougher growing up so I take each day renewed.. Life isn't perfect, but it could be a lot worse. I remember that all the time.

Plus on NF I try to spread the happiness ;]

[llsoszynski@gmail.com]

Haha, I was looking into some science fiction books that I used to love, but talked myself out of it because I kept telling myself that I wouldn't be learning anything from them. I regret this decision lol.

Be thankful for what you've got, you're right. And jeeze your bar is 15lbs lighter than you thought it was? Holy craaaappp. Thats sucky. I hope you can come up from that alright.

So, challenge #3.. bad car accident yesterday. I got strapped to the board and put in a head brace and all that crap. Got a cat scan but no fracture so that's good. Just a very severe case of whiplash of the neck/upper back. Just focusing on recovering right now.

Byebye cadillac =/

[goodwince]

Wow. Are you ok? What happened? You sound alright..

[llsoszynski@gmail.com]

Yeah I'm good. Just can't move my neck and such. Not very mobile! Long story short- was on the highway, lady infront of me hit the graded road (roadwork) and slammed on her breaks. I couldn't break fast enough or get into the other lane fast enough so I slammed into her, flipping her jeep and totaling my car.

I'm really glad to hear that you're okay. Scary as hell.

Take good care of yourself, alright?

Thanks catspaw. It was pretty frigin scary. Thought I killed someone. But definitely just laying low now.

[goodwince]

Pretty crazy. I'm glad you're ok. Be patient and let your body heal Laini!! Don't go off to the gym right now.. lol.

[weirdquark]

Glad you're okay!

[goodwince]

How're you feeling??

[llsoszynski@gmail.com]

Hey yall! Sorry- emails must be down again. A very inconvenient glitch considering I love waking up to see someone has left me something or posted in a subscribed thread!

Just a general update. Goodwince, I am doing great considering the circumstances. I don't know what happened but somewhere in the last few days I switched back to the old me that I loved. Even though I am still recovering I am off the painkillers thank lordy cause they made me sick. I went for a light run/walk this morning and it felt awesome. Stopped and pet some horses just cause I was in no hurry.

I don't know if I said this but I got a kitten!! He's absolutely adorable and everything that a kitten should be. During the nights he sleeps right next to me quiet as can be! He does have ringworm (they found him abandoned in a trash pile, so no surprise), so I'm giving him 2x/week baths of this stinky sulfur stuff. Anyways yep that's been my life lately. Trying to get him to use the litter box! ugh!

I am on day 2 of caffeine detox and MAN does it SUCK. Worse than I've had it before because I've gone from drinking 2-8 espresso shots plus some coffee per day (thanks to working at the coffee shop) to nothing. I am really excited about that. Also I am in the process of converting back to my paleo/wholefood ways and am doing relatively well. I am no longer doing IF/leangains because it screws with my head, but I am not opposed to fasting if need be and will probably do it regularly. I am going to head to the grocery store and pick up lots of chicken and veggies and stuff so I can start cooking for myself and bringing lunches again, even though I have access to endless bagels and sandwiches at work. But I shouldn't fall back on this because I'm getting fat and lazy!

I have today off so I've been trying to figure out crap with my car and what to do about it. The insurance agency called me today and said they haven't towed my car yet, even though a week ago they said they were going to tow it that day. SO that means it hasn't been appraised yet which means they still don't know if its totaled. Chances are it is totaled because the frame is bent and the engine is destroyed. So I've been looking at hybrids and G35's and Passats. I don't want to keep looking and make offers and such because I don't know if its actually totaled or not yet! Its a vicious circle and we're probably going to spend lots on a rental.

I bought king-size candy bars to be that-house on Halloween to hand out to the kids . Let's see, been working alot, working funerals again (yay!) and have a training meeting tomorrow night so no work all day which means if I'm up to it I'm going to go to the gym and have a light front-squat session. Figures that's the best to do when I have upper back/neck issues on and off still.

Anyways. That's it for now! Off to buy some new jeans (ugh, mine are ripping in the inner thigh due to wear and tear and my musclessss (Arnold voice)) and get some more insurance stuff squared away.

YAY

[goodwince]

You have full coverage insurance? If so then they're supposed to pay for the rental right?

Yes! The old you!! I've never taken a painkiller, but I imagine they suck!! I had friend who took them recreationally in high school and it looked pretty terrible..

Wow. Wreck and now caffeine detox.. you really are back to the old you lmao. Good luck. Just be patient with yourself!! Umm.. fat and lazy? Yeah.. right!! King size candy?! Haha. Kids will love you!! I just bought jeans that I thought fit and then the thighs are too tight.. Haha.

Btw.. that's a lot of coffee!!

[llsoszynski@gmail.com]

iiiii was cheapstake when getting insurance so I opted out of the rental car. it wasnt necessary and now I am regretting it. thankfully my insurance agency offers discounts so I get them for cheap but cheap is still ugh.

good on you for never taking a painkiller, thats pretty impressive. i had them for my wisdom teeth coming out and i was on meds for the lyme/mono that absolutely made me sick too. i hate taking medication and I'm so glad I don't need the painkillers anymore!

I really hope the kids will love me this year I haven't been home for the last 2 halloweens so i don't know how many trick-or-treaters we'll have this year but I'm hoping word will get around that I'm giving out king sized and more people will stop by I wanna be that house!! (which unfortunately means, yes, i have no life and no party to go to )

thanks for recognizing my old self!! lordy how i missed it. I've been back paleo-esque for only 2 days now, caffeine free for going on 3 days, and I've ran once and in those 2-3 days I've lost 3 lbs already talk about water weight and bloat cause of all that damn junk food!

then shoulder mobility/fin

overall good workout. i didn't expect to hit my 200# deadlift today considering its been a few weeks since i did some. i got compliments on how much i was lifting from some of the guys at the gym, haha. then basically did my second half of my workout with another guy in the bball court part of the gym who was doing pretty much the same workout as me minus the sprints. he's pretty fit!

anyways i thought i had to work today but turns out i dont.. so i'm going to deal with more car stuff (renewed the renal for another week ) and maybe head out for a hike today. its super nice out. i love the fall.. the trees are orange and the weather is like 60 and sunny... soooo nice.

other than that... i'm shipping a package to the man today to surprise him just for the heck of it. he's been miserable in the field the last few days and i want to brighten his day. keep having terrible dreams of us not making it though... ugh. just dreams though!

off to enjoy the day!

ps- i know i shouldn't weigh myself every day, but down another pound!

[goodwince]

Good idea with the package! That really sucks about the insurance!! If it's her insurance's fault than they should be paying for that. Hold on to receipts.. you shouldn't have to pay out of pocket for someone else's problem.

How come your log doesn't have the 200 pound lift?? Good freaking job! Guys be jealous!! I'm jealous haha.

haha the 200# isnt in the log because i didnt try for it today! i took it relatively easy haha. and it should be 185*** but i screwed up counting when i typed it up.

and i dont know if the insurance is her fault or mine, but either way the accident isnt my fault, but i dont know if thats going to help me out at all insurance-wise.

[goodwince]

Ahh terrible reader comprehension on my part lol

[llsoszynski@gmail.com]

Haha its all good

Just checking in. Another night of terrible sleep and I'm really starting to feel it. THANKS KITTYYYY. Naht. Well I cleaned my room real good this morning and hopefully the open windows will help the kitten stench get out (ugh).

Today will mark day 5 of paleo, coffee-free, working out.. um that might be it. Well, I was going to do sprints this morning but talked with the hubby on skype instead (first time in a week!). It was bitter sweet cause after he told me about his week he said he was going to bed and we barely talked about anything else. Even though I begged he stay up a little longer and talk.. oh well.

Other than that, working at a different coffee shop today, again.. meeting new people.. again.. learning the layout all over again. Ugh. So tiring. Then tomorrow and Sunday at the busiest store (best tips, but lordy you want to shoot yourself the whole time). I need the money though.

No new news on the car. Hopefully today we'll figure out if it's totaled legit or not and be able to look into new cars. Applying for an auto loan soon just to have on hand in the mean time.

That's enough ramble for now. May workout/may not tomorrow after work depending on how sleep goes tonight. Hopefully will drink lots of water today!

[msuroo]

Wow, I haven't been in here in far too long. Yikes on the car accident - glad to hear you're OK! And yay kitten! Kittens are awesome, but cat pee sure is a god awful smell - hopefully the litter box training goes better soon. Get some good sleep and feel better!

[llsoszynski@gmail.com]

Thanks roo! And lordy you couldn't be more right about kitty piss. my lord!!

And no new updates. day 6!! no coffee, relatively paleo (save for a couple drinks this evening and peanut butter), but no coffee and hopefully gym tomorrow!!

applyng for a loan on Monday and shopping for a hybrid soon after

Still hate the bagel shop... annnd not much else!

[goodwince]

I didn't know you hate the bagel shop!!?

[llsoszynski@gmail.com]

haha i love helping people and making stuff, i just hate how the owner sends me to a new place every day and it seems like every day i work its like the first day all over again and i'm always needing to prove myself. doesn't seem like much to complain about but it makes me upset! and some of the girls i work with... lordy..

[llsoszynski@gmail.com]

oh yeah! and i went to the gym today;

45lbs warmups

95lbs x5 x3

good day! jelly legs

also- kitty gave me ringworm... AWESOME. and there's supposedly a huge hurricane coming so NG got activated and we are now on standby to standby.

[goodwince]

Why does he send you to a new place every day? I could see how that'd be rather frustrating.

That's a legit workout you got going on!! Hurricane? I didn't really know they headed up that way!! Stay safe. Ring worm sucks, but you'll get over it quick! At least the kitty is still cute..

[llsoszynski@gmail.com]

Well he has 5 stores all generally within 10-30 minutes from me and he's cross training me cause i'm his "main girl" haha. he's gunna be so sad when i tell him i'm moving across the country..

Hurricanes generally don't reach us.. but i guess this one is like a noreaster (sp?) within a hurricane during a fullmoon so its supposed to be extra bad lol. tomorrow will be day 2 of everything being closed and no funerals so no work for me!

today was a lazy day of hanging out while it poured out. gym was closed cause the dang storm so couldnt workout. i did go to the doctor and get some roundworm cream stuff so thats good. ALSO! talked to my insurance agency and found out they are paying me alotttttt more money than we thought for the caddy! so payments have been taken care of and the extra cash will go to a down payment. also got a loan approved through our bank so all we need now is the new car! too bad you can't really car shop in a hurricane.

today i experimented with cabbage and chicken in the oven. i broiled it for about an hour with carrots, bacon, onions and olive oil and lordy was it yummy. got leftovers for tomorrow too

today marks one week of paleo eating! and although i may not be down to controlling my eating erges, atleast i'm down to eating good food while i binge. gahh. haha. hope the gym is open tomorrow!

[goodwince]

Dude your meal sounds delicious!! Sounds like he really likes you then. Obviously you show great potential if he's doing that for you. It does suck though.. Maybe you should warn him lol.

I've been eating terrible!! Everything is closed huh? Be careful with the flooding.. I'm glad that things are going well with the caddie!! Thank goodness. Sounds like a really awesome day for you.
