Soooo.... I found the time to go to the gym. (No good milk in the fridge -> gotta go out anyway)
Warmed up with basic squats and jumping around and doing stupid stuff with my arms and. .... aaargh I wanted to get started already! ! :)

After spending time with my cousin I feel motivated and fired up. The spark in me that wants to compete again has never died but now I feel that it got a ton of gasoline thrown on it :)
Something he said about the hack squat really got to me... if I have the time and energy I'll hit the hack on Thursday when we go back home.
But if I'm too dead tired and under fed I'll save my energy and walk to the (real) gym on Friday.
Uuuu.... I want to pump the Hell out of that hackedy-hack thingie... :D
I took some time off.
It's summer. Enjoy it.
Kiddo and I went barbecuing and finally saw my cousin :)
Gosh he's grown again.
We have a weight difference of 100kg.
He started lifting again. He says that the pump in his muscles as well as his mass grows quickly but his strength is still "gone". He took some time off last year, did more cardio, lost some weight and did longer sets with smaller weights.
Now his slowly getting back to normal and hitting the BIG WEIGHTS :)
...BIG means weights that need 3 spotters to keep things safe! ;)
He did the best juicy chicken! Well his wife prepped it but he grilled it :)
And the salad had the Biggest grapes I've ever seen!
We have to go again and take a cake with us... :)
I've been getting a lot of contacts through my Bodyspace account and on LinkedIn.
It's always nice to meet new people and to hear what they have to say about the world and what they like to talk about when a completely new person is listening. :)
I've been enjoying this "reaching out to the world" side of me.
I feel like my planet is expanding :)
I read a long article today about touching people and living longer. I'm sure it was all true.
I need a massage.
And according to the article, lots and lots of sex ;)

This weekend is just as slow but more productive than usual.
I finally got a lot of my over due writing/updating stuff done.
It's been super warm (about 20C) and sunny :)
One of my workouts got messed up 'cause kiddo woke up too early (our neighbour was shouting instructions as she was getting her kids ready for park) but I finished my last sets with him playing behind me. Every now and then he did come up and push the bar down. I'm not sure why. I'm pretty sure I was lifting it. Not pushing it down ;)
He helps me around a lot. When I shake my shaker, he shakes his milk bottle. (Milk flying...) When I clear weeds in the garden, he pulls all the plants up and tries to eat them...(plants dieing. ..)
I'm trying to find a minimum of moves for THIS MONTH. Next month I'll do something different and never will I train more than 4 times per week and I'll always keep the workouts short and my reps super slow.
I don't go through the whole list. I pick about half of the moves and just concentrate on them :)
A dream took me back to South Africa.
We were there for a party.
The food and drinks were amazing :)
Birds of paradise flew around in the garden and there was a crystal fountain with sparkling pink water. ..
Us ladies were all asked to wear something cheap and ugly for the gala night. We chose to find matching jumpsuits from the nearby mall. The dream took 2 hours and 1,5 of them I spent looking for that hideous "party wear"... gosh. There sure are a lot of ugly clothes in my dream world! !?
Kiddo slept for about an hour today (around lunchtime). I got a good workout for my biceps and triceps :)
I had to use a pre - exhaust method but it worked fine!
(Pump yourself silly with the 20kg bar and the finish every set with 5kg or 10kg plates...)
I was hoping to do just a slow and short workout but since kiddo kept sleeping and I had nothing else to do it just felt like the right thing to do: keep working, force yourself to grow. ...
Well I sure got myself totally fxcked up with just an arm workout. ... I'm too tired to do anything more tonight. I just ate and now it's all about playing with kiddo.... thank god he likes Duplos. We can just sit and play for a while :)
About the topic :
I've been listening to motivational speeches on youtube again.
I really do like them :)
It's a good booster when I feel like I don't seem to remember what I want in life ;)
Two nights ago I saw Dana Linn Bailey again.
She had stolen my idea for shoes. Anti gravity shoes...
She was testing them out and I felt bad about seeing my idea put all the way to use before I even got it off the table.
She was having a hard time making them work. She kept jumping off her warehouse. The idea was right but they needed more work with the specs that needed to be put in to balance out the "pilot's" errors...
Later in the morning I noticed how pumped and happy I was after seeing that dream :)
I had been copied before my idea was even a working product!
This ment that my idea was a sure winner and I should feel good about it :)
So what if I lost the patent and got nothing out of it. Not even my name in bright lights... so what.
I should celebrate the feeling of being so good that people were rushing to "be me" ;D
Funny dream.
It still works its magic ;)
Kiddo and I took a night off and drove over to Sulkava...
By taking a night off I mean we slept together on a small bed in the same room at our friend's house.
It's funny how those kinds of nights always flow the easiest :)
This town is beautiful :)
Kiddo ran out of clothes and I made him a skirt out of my old t-shirt.
He looks a bit like a Roman child?...
We called him Micus Minimus.
What went wrong with the hormonal pump program...
Dropping the dope.
***
Female hormones don't fit well into my fit female body?
I have to drop my birth control system. It's killing me and it's fxcking up our lives.
I tried to get a doctor's appointment today but there's nothing out there. I'll keep trying tomorrow.
So.... back to basics.
I am back on my way to controlling MY LIFE...
I kept telling myself this weekend that it's all about controlling My Life. Not The World around me.
I am right.
I am me.
And I am not done yet ;)
