Ex 176lbs women finally does chest dips..

Monday, December 05, 2011


Dear friends,
Anyone whom goes to the gym and does these things, knows they are the king of chest strength.. Your using your triceps and dipping your whole body so I think they are hard..

I started doing these things just efter I got pull ups accomplished..

took me a year to get enough upper body power to make them happen..

like most beginners I had to start somewhere so two chairs at home, I didn't need a audience at the gym...
So now I have another long haul goal in the house- it is indeed a victory day for me..
I do them in 5's take a rest and repeat I am up to 25 reps on the captain chair..
Next long ass haul goal is to by Dec 2012 hanging vertical leg raises..

I have the patience- I have been plugging away- 1, 2, 3 years time I have plenty of it..
God if I have the muscles and am starting to look like a male- so be it.. I ain't doing anything half terrible I will repeat, and repeat until I get it totally right..

Life style change it is just you and me- no excuses, no missed appointment move days if necessary.. My body is feeling better and better- even the bad days I no longer need any medications.. It is just my back saying time to move...

I have stripped my body of fat- now replacing it with muscles...

I am bicep curling 20kgs and tricep push downs 40 kgs- won't be long before I can do more fancy stuff with my pull ups.. I will finish lifting my body weight on the front pull down and then reverse it with wide arm pull ups.. It will put a few younger men to shame doing 4 sets of wide arm pull ups..

So my goals are out in the open- I am doing pretty good without suppliments.. I am eating more protein and until now my body burns it all off over night.. So I am a happy camper..
The truth known when people piss me off I do even better than when in a good mood.. I use my angry to make stuff happen- my best lifts are when I get into the gym crazy angry..

Just leave me alone- to grind it out.. When I walk out of the gym full charma regained..


Every wrinkle on my face is from every kg I have lost and every single km of hard core learning.. I get down, but I am not that weak willed person I used to be..

Now my kids are gone- my attitude to do stuff has now nuked into go for broke.. I had two instructors steering and watching me..

They don't know I have been practising at home, I just wanted to see how far I have come using the correct equipment.. It worked..

    Amazing! You have my utmost respect - I do simple leg lifts on the captain's chair at the gym, and struggle at that. I cannot do a proper push up, let alone a pull up or chest dips. Not yet, anyway. I'm working on it!

Those are definitely NOT easy for men, let alone women !! That's an emoticon accomplishment. And that is a serious bicep curl. I can curl 25 pounds with one arm. Might be able to do 30, 20kgs is fantastic !!

You know, I haven't tried chest dips in a while. I should give them a try again. We'll see what happens.

    Wow, I really admire your persistence! I am working out, mostly here at home, in my own way but I doubt that I'll ever be able to do some of the stuff you do! Amazing!

Hi Mom, I miss you your welcome to call in on me..

Sunday, December 04, 2011

Dear Blog,
My son came past today while Mogens wasn't home.. I gave him some cans of stuff I did need but for him didn't need or will be using.. I also packed diverse other stuff he needed and before he left -he asked me if I needed a hug. I got the most huge hug from my son and his girlfriend before they returned to his appartment.. I don't use my toaster much anymore, so I also gave him this- I asked how the t-shirt fitted on Malene and she was thrilled..
If people treat me decent I give the very shirt of my back.. Mogens did a tantrum because I would not make his work lunch.. I have been up most of the night because of Pussy.. I have vaccumed, done the washing, most of the dishes and started packing my sons belongings to his permanent appartment..
My son said just phone to Ditmer before coming around- I said your a adult now and I am only welcome when you give me the green light to turn up.. YOUR home, YOUR rules and unlike Mogens I accept them..
Just remember to visit christmas day, if you have other plans this is also okay.. I am probably working anyway- am usually am every other year..

I gave Mogens a tune up about continuing to behave like a child.. I told him directly happy now my kids won't or don't want to turn up here.. Both are actually pissed because I didn't have the nuts to kick you out the first time- but I wanted to give you the benefit of a second chance.. Find happy and darn fast because I miss my boys alot..

Oh by the way, when I confront you on something- listen to the message.. I don't mind you smoking "your lunges" and "your life"- but I have the signature on the rental agreement and I have to warn you not to throw your butts all over the place.. Also I would like you to keep your side of the bedroom so I can reach the windows to air the room out this will actually help you directly avoid astma coughing fits at night..

I wash your clothing,
I keep the house clean,
I cook the meals I have money to,
It is winter so you don't even have to mow the flipping lawn- in the weekend please move ass and make your lunch for monday..

I get tired too. So save some money instead of purchusing it every day, you complained and complained your bank account was drained- well heres a expensive you can save money on. There is lettuce and salad vegges plus chicken to make a sub "loaf" to yourself.. I am only one person and a ice berg salad is huge for me too..


What I am most annoyed about is I can't make agreements without you snaking your way out of them when tired of them.. When I try to keep you to the deal you change the rules again and again..

I didn't have the heart to tell him, I want someone whom can give me feedback without taking constructive critical totally negative no matter what I say or suggest.. I asked Mogens not to make us unpopular with the landlord- he through it was just another dig at his smoking.. I asked him to purchase those pills that make him relax and be less stressed- all I got was " it is me that is a claphat idiot".. When he started this I switched off..
I also found out confronting him about hitting his previous girlfriend for cheating- he never did.. He won't tell me what her name is because I will contact her and ask her what went on..
He knows I will and I think she will tell me the same things I am experiencing..

Coming year Goals
1. Dump alot of my belongings so I can move fast..
2. Save money for a new appartment lease- move on..
3. If I find another job- make sure he can't find me..
4. Change my telephone and company so he can't chime me down ever again..
5. Repair the damage done to my relationships with my kids without loud mouth opening his F"#k you attitude over them..
6. Make sure this appartment is close to town- close enough to bike around and save the expense of a monthly bus card and being stuck out in bongo bongo land in the weekends..
7. Never ever be dependant on another person to make the rent.. Argue teeth and nails with the next idiot in social services whom suggests this type of arrangement.. Hell will freeze over..
8. If you do find another partner, make sure he can pay his own bills and treats you with respect 24-7-365.. Remember not to bring work related people home ever again.. Study them for ages, watch their friends network and if they do stupid crap disappear before it gets serious..

    Yes, ma'am... I'll repeat Yvonne's wise words! Just kick it all to the curb and stay true to yourself; your wisdom is sound and trustworthy here, Red.

    Time to put the trash out by the curb and move along your merry way, even if it is harder. You're a determined, strong, smart and caring person, so you'll be just fine without him. ... and good riddens. Some people will just take all we give and then do less and less for themselves becaue we do more and more. The cycle can be broken. Yvonne

  Great goals. I'd wish you luck, but you don't really need luck. Your determination will pull you through.

You and I have such different lives, but reading your blog gives me the nudge I need to make changes in my own life. Thanks.

My weekend and what I am up to or lack of it..

Saturday, December 03, 2011


I love the 3 different colour t-shirt selection

The t-shirt to fit my biceps are nightie length

The hard shell jacket is only held in place with snap shut buttons, sometimes the inner
jacket seperates and leaves me struggling to get in or out of it.. I have hurt my shoulder getting jammed in it. Taking this on and off 16 visits is going to flip me off at some stage..

I can dump the frog green in summer and just use the black jacket

The pants are style nice on someone 10 cms taller I have to roll them up as they won't sew them up..
I hoped to be belt free but the waists on the jeans swim on me..

I think the women working the sewing machine was drunk..

Friday, December 02, 2011


My jeans have been sewed up but for a person whom is 6"3" not for a person that is 5"3"..

Whom ever sewed them is going to have a hard time explaining only doing half a leg cuff..

Another day at work, new uniform..

Wednesday, November 30, 2011


The tailors measured us up while we tried on the clothing- I will not waste anymore time on this uniform.. Getting time out of my route is taking time off out of our tax payers whom pay our wages..

They give us a present each year, I have got a chocolate fondue set, a cheese cutting set, perfume and a chopping board I hate scrubbing to keep clean.. Which I gave away to other people- whom it turns out have not used them either.. This year we can choose between different stuff, I don't have to have visit the internet site..

The uniform and the present are items the city can save money giving us.. I am just greatful having a job.. Instead of free time, I want the extra time I work paid in money.. Sometimes people on unemployment money with the money they get monthly to their kids from the state and ex-husbands.. They earn more money than I do!!

Things that make me say hmmm WTF hmmm?

    What a shame about the unfunctionable uniforms!
On a different note, what a thoughtful and useful gift you have given your oldest son for Christmas! emoticon
