Basically the only thing I’m succeeding at this TBT is my 50 push ups and 50 sit ups a day. Yesterday was “Bread Day” and there was homemade bread in the room where we had our Department Chair meeting. I dramatically turned my back to it and ate none, despite the delicious smelling cream cheese covered bagel the woman sitting next to me was eating. I indulged only in some extra coffee. I starved all the way till lunch, despite being busy and my snack.
I had a huge lunch. Then I came upstairs and jammed on my protein bar and snuck across the hall for a piece of bread with a bit of cream cheese and stole a handful of Dove chocolates. *sigh.*
Made a huge smoothie disaster for dinner. (I never use enough fluid and the stupid things won’t blend and I find that irritating. Highly irritating.) It tasted great, btw. Went home, jammed on handfuls of yogurt pretzels and a glass of wine.
Today is Parent-Teacher conferences, so I will indulge in an Italian Dinner provided by our parents, and I don’t even feel bad. Tomorrow, there are no classes at the gym I can go to. I will walk Reilly, do my push/sit ups, and… I dunno. I need to do some kind of at home workout, the trouble is I suck at those. I have Sunny’s Frida Awesome Jammer workout. I could do that… we’ll see.
After tonight, Basketball is over for me, Conferences are out of the way, I should be able to get back to my routine.

I don’t know what happened. I ate my snack too early? I had strawberries and clementines instead of my apple? I was hungry all morning. I thought since the strawberries and clementines were individuals I could trick my tummy into thinking I’d eaten more than I really had… Nope. I even ate my energy bites early (w/ my snack) instead of saving them for after lunch. The result: maybe just one Dove chocolate after lunch… or 10. Seriously. 1 became 10. Sad Day.
Then for dinner. Had my salad and was full-ish, but was heading to Spin Class, so decided to add a protein bar to ensure I had enough energy to get me through the class. Bad idea. I was a ‘lil bloated… plus when I came home from class, I had the psychological need to eat… so I ate snap peas while making lunches… and snuck an energy bite into my mouth instead of my lunch… and finally decided to whip out my emergency non-candy-bar sweet treat: Yogurt Pretzels. I ate them til I felt sick from sweetness. Then went to bed.
Spin was so hard yesterday! Lots of heavy endurance-y stuff. I was dripping sweat the entire class. It was awesome! I felt great afterward! I usually go 1-3 times a week, and have been barely making 1 class lately. Which means I enjoy it so much more! I know what you’re thinking. I should apply the same thing to derby. The thing is: I enjoy derby very much, and when I miss a spin class, I don’t have to worry about getting behind on strategy. A) don’t care. B) strategy in spinning? nope. Derby is different.
I skipped walking Reilly yesterday. We walk her twice a day rain or shine or snow or drizzle. Yesterday was windy blizzardy during her walk time, though. I told Tim “Reilly text me earlier and said she doesn’t want to go for a walk because the wind is making it too cold…” 😀 We played ball in the house instead. It was fun.
My school’s newspaper has a WordPress now. I commented on a post as “PhantomMenace.” Hopefully this doesn’t mean they’ll find my “meanass” blog… that could be bad…
Oh–finally weighed myself this morning. I’ve gained 3lbs. Ugh. Motivation. 3lbs of chocolate fat that needs to go! Must resist!

After sitting down and writing all about being positive, I had a major Hulk Menace negativity slip. 😦 Oops.
Huge food success yesterday. 2800+ healthy calories. I have decided to experiment with wraps, so yesterday I smashed myself a turkey-swiss spinach wrap. I’ve never been good at rolling burritos and I always overfill my tacos. These skills translate to wrap-ping, so I struggled and designed a cucumber-dill dressing disaster. Oddly enough, after being refrigerated all day, it stayed together well. And was filling. Despite the lack of bread-stuffs. I’m quite pleased with how it turned out, and have another for today. It kills me that 6 tortillas cost $3.59 and a loaf of bread is $1.99, though…
I brought clementines and energy bites to ward off the Dove Dark Chocolates (the stash of which Karen refilled yesterday.) Success! Those energy bites rock. Remind me again why I didn’t make them the past few weeks? I jammed on a spinach salad and a smoothie-shake (what’s the difference?) before practice yesterday. Waaay more than enough, even for a 3hr. night. I didn’t have a snack before scrimmage, or even afterwards. Chia seeds keep your blood sugar regulated, and your tummy full. Considering they were in everything I ate yesterday… must be true. 🙂
Practice was… practice. My backwards skating has improved tremendously the past week alone. Misto hugely helped last Thursday. When crossing over, she told me to keep my feet on the ground. Aha! I can still only do it going the correct direction, but yesterday I worked on the foot movement to cross the wrong direction and improved. Baby steps. At scrimmage… well first I was pleased to have four refs. Really. It was such a relief seeing them all show up. I’d have been happy with three, four was amazing! Yay. I played… okay. I fucked up a few times and did some good things as well. But. Positive Polly focuses on the things she did well, so…
- I didn’t give up. Jamming against a Sweets-Nona-Bijou-??? wall I pushed and pushed and fought and fought and got a high block and went to the box. But Sweets said it wasn’t really a high block. 😀 Regardless: I didn’t give up. I kept pushing and pushing and maybe I didn’t get through, but someday soon I will.
- Cass jamming… seconds on the jam clock. I dropped back and nailed someone out of Cass’s way so she scored her points as time expired. I’m not so good at the drop back (the clockwise “danger zone,” so to speak,) so this was pretty cool.
- Last jam, power jam Menace. I get out of the pack and look at the jam clock. 8 seconds to get back around and through again. Fuuuck. My instinct is to conserve energy, w/ 8 seconds I’m not getting around the track and back through… but I’ve seen She Who lap a pack and score in 8 seconds, so fuck it. I sped up, got around the track, and with the help of an amazing offensive hit from Cass, scored my 5 points. Fuck yeah! … and that was the end of scrimmage. 😀
I’ve still got an Apex-Jumping mental block. I think I have to skip practice tomorrow (we’re hosting a playoff basketball game. They haven’t asked me to run the clock, perhaps due to the faux pas from Saturday… perhaps b/c they think I intuitively know to be here… not sure.) So maybe I’ll hit up Saturday Scrimmage and focus on my hops. (My hops, my hops, my lovely lady hops?)

So the past few days… I’ve eaten… alright.
Friday–breakfast, snack, subway for lunch… penne w/ broccoli & chicken for first dinner… burrito, salmon triscuits… something else, apple, luna bar, wine for second dinner… peanut and peanut butter m&ms (that way it was like crunchy peanut butter m&ms) during the basketball game… 50 push ups, 50 situps, 2 Reilly walks.
Saturday–Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage muffin & milk… Mocha Freeze from Costco… Almond Shake, Protein Bar, Cliff Shot Bloks, Dirty Chai, Tuscan Whole Wheat Linguini (from Noodles,) Wine…? Scrimmage.
Sunday–Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage muffin & milk… Dirty Chai, Apple & Swiss Grilled Cheese, Tomato Soup, Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese, random bites of groceries… beer, wine… etc Push ups, situps, yoga.
So. I finally did myself a favor and got some healthier naughty foods. I hit Costco on Saturday. Some exciting things I got include: cut butternut squash, a huge bag of spinach (I filled five sandwich bags w/ spinach and froze them for smoothies, etc b/c last time the large bag of spinach mostly rot,) cuties, apples, strawberries, mushrooms… dried apricots! … protein bars… SALMON! (frozen filets and lox style, 1% milk…
Today, I had the pleasure of King Soopers and Sprouts. Oi. On top of my usual groceries I got… Chobani Greek yogurts (and bulk vanilla toffee granola for them) to try instead of the Yoplait I usually have for snack… Lemon and Raspberry Yogurt Pretzels. (These are like chocolate covered pretzels, but better for you. And definitely better than Dove dark chocolates, ice cream, or Reece’s. … wrap… tortilla… things. um… I think that’s it.
Oh–and I filled up on ingredients for No Bake Energy Bites and made a double batch. Between those, the delicious protein bars, Luna bars, and the yogurt pretzels… I willy stay away from the bad-for-me treats.
I made mac and cheese with the butternut squash… I’ll post a recipe later, once I have a picture of it… hopefully it turns out good (and Tim likes it and doesn’t think it tastes funny like he did the Almond Milk tomato soup…) because I doubled the recipe and had enough to freeze two casseroles of it…

- Apple, Yoplait Greek w/ Fruit and Granola
- Greek Yogurt Tuna on wheat w/ spinach. Red bell pepper slices.
- Cheesy Penne with Broccoli and Chicken, salad w/ light balsamic vinegar, triscuits
- Almond Snickers… a bite of Misto’s delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate protein bar (that was more deliciously satisfying than the Almond Snickers…)
- PB & Hershey’s Special dark on wheat…
- wine!
Exercise:
- 50 toe push ups
- 50+ sit ups (25 leg lifts, 25 cobras, some at practice)
- 2hr Thursday Misto Practice
- 1hr Sugar “scrimmage.”
I know it was a good practice when I get home and fitbit tells me I have 15,000+ steps. Scrimmage days I get like no steps, so it wasn’t the hour-ish scrimmage-ish. Double practice school nights I’m usually around 11,000. The only times I hit 15,000 are when I have spin class and walk Reilly.
I really need to get on track with my eating. I jammed on a Snicker’s yesterday. And fro-yo with lunch. Bad Mean@$$. My skinny jeans don’t feel so hot this morning. 😦 I’ve got tummy overhang. And I could easily have cut out the 600+ calories I’m over from yesterday (the frozen yogurt, the snickers, and the PB& Hershey’s on wheat…)
I’m hitting Costco this weekend. Misto said she got the choco-peanut butter protein bar there, so I’ll grab some, as well as some other healthy snacks. I just need to focus. Balance is also a goal and unfortunately gets in the way sometimes. So, balance with a focus on diet.

Tim and Misto convinced me that it would be okay to miss practice yesterday, even w/ a TT30 mix-up scrimmage. (Snow = bad roads.) Which was good because the scrimmage was cancelled. So I went shopping! 😀 I’ve decided that since overweight and old teachers wear leggings to work, I should too. (My legs look way better, it’s a disservice to the people if I don’t wear them…) I bought some online at Kohl’s, but they fit a little awkwardly, so I went to try the smaller size on. Ended up keeping the size I originally purchased (though ironically one of the packages says “M” but is actually “L” so I will have to return today to exchange them…), but picked up a pair of clearance real suede F-Uggs and some long sweaters for my new leggings look. (Rocking them today. Gray leggings, F-Uggs, lime green sweater! Pearls.) Then I went to Levi’s and (sorry Rebel) exchanged the black skinny jeans for a new pair and some gray ones. They look like khaki so I can also wear these to work, and those colors didn’t come in strait leg. And it was 2 for $80. Again. And they gave me a coupon. Again (bastards.) Who wants a Levi’s Coupon?
Also–went to the Country Pedaler bike shop in Castle Rock and got some fancy cleats for my fancy new shoes. I’m so excited to try them out tonight! But I may hit practice instead… not sure. Misto-run practice w/ scrimmage after is promising… but spin… new shoes… we’ll see.
My shopping prevented me from so much as walking the dog yesterday, but you know what? I don’t care! It was awesome. I had a great day. I made more of that delicious Cooking Light penne (with chicken this time) and hung out with Tim. Since he’ll be gone this weekend, that was an excellent use of time. Plus I didn’t have to sit in traffic and snow trying to get to the War*house or risk driving off the “cliff” by the Rec Center like the last time I went there in the snow. “Satisfecho,” incidentally, means “satisfied” en español, and is a phrase Tim used to use when we dated after we had a good meal and had that awesome feeling. I’m applying it to life right now. I’m content, I’m satisfecho.
Oh–and I was in bed asleep before 10pm last night. Woke up feeling refreshed–first time that’s happened on a week day in a while. I did take a Tylenol PM last night… Push-ups/Sit-ups are soooo much easier on a morning like this morning than they are after a late practice when I get home late and don’t sleep all night… Gotta work on that.

I peed like a mofo yesterday. Turns out the “monthly gift” approaches rapidly. And I feel great. So maybe that outburst Sunday was related.
I had five packages arrive at noon yesterday! My black Levi’s Skinny jeans–which don’t fit–so Rebel, I will be returning them. 😉 Sheets, car-charger, birth control (I wear NuvaRing so it comes in a refrigerated package which amuses me. It must be expensive to ship. But I don’t care, b/c with insurance those bitches run me $90 a piece and shipping is “free.”) and… my Spin Shoes!!! YAY.
I was so excited, I got a matching outfit together and on with my new shoes (including black socks so I was totally black & teal,) then rushed off to Spin Class early so Leslie (who is always 20-30 minutes early) could help me figure them out.) So first. Leslie wasn’t there (apparently she had to emergency-teach a Zumba class.) The nice chatty white bike shorts guy who stole my bike was there, though, and since I now ride the bike next to it, I asked him for help. He was really nice and helpful and fortunately only the outer thigh part of his shorts is white. (The rest is gray/black.)
*Blushes.* Fortunately there were only three people there. Him, a nice lady, and this old guy who wears jeans and a sweatshirt and doesn’t really even use the cages for his feet. I need to go to a bike store and get fitted for/purchase cleats for them to clip in to the pedals. Oops. I thought they looked funny. I was amused but also embarrassed, so I immediately text Rowdy and Sunny. Then Leslie showed up, and guess what??? Same shoes as me!!! (Hers had cleats, though… ) How cool is that? 😀 (I text Sunny and Rowdy this as well. Details. They’re important.)
So I used the cages yet again. *Sigh.* The shoes were still better than my Nike’s even not clipped in. They’re sturdier, so. Well. Think brown bombers to Riedell skates…. without toe stops… or wheels… *blinks.* Anyway spin was hard but super awesome and I was glad to be there (but even more glad when it was over.)
I ate a lot, but I dunno. Other than the candy corn, cookies, chocolates, and wine… 😉 Okay, I guess that’s a lot of extra calories, huh? I need to get my shit together.
Practice & Scrimmage tonight… excited. I wanna try the assist I “invented” Monday. Likely won’t be effective at a FC scrimmage, but hey. Worth a try. Oh, also, I wrote this really dramatic pep talk for “The World” for Saturday. Wait for it. It’ll be EPiC’ly amusing. (And humorous, I think… we’ll see.)

I was back on track with food yesterday. Woot woot. I went shopping in the morning. New black leather “riding” boots from Nordstrom. Pretty excited. Got bra fitted, have been wearing the correct size. (Bonus.) They weren’t very helpful, and they didn’t have my size on any of the racks (even though it’s not a super weird size,) so I left and went to Victoria’s Secret. Where I got two bras and ten pairs of size small panties. For less than two bras would have been at Nordstrom. So… yeah. And size small!!! My mediums have been loosey goosey but I felt weird getting a smaller size but they fit. 😀 That was cool.
Practice. Meh. I hate backwards skating. But I did like the Black Widow version. I just tried to backwards crossover. By the end I could sorta do it. The correct direction. Not at all the wrong direction. Gotta start somewhere. And then Contenders practice. There seemed to be some sweating going on, but. Well. It’s hard to participate and direct, so I only participated in like 2/3 of it. Not the stopping/speeding up in partners at all, which was unfortunate since I can’t figure out how to plow stop with a partner to save my life. Perhaps before practice one day someone will help me… 😀
Dosa and Bijou were both back, which was super awesome.
I didn’t sleep well last night. Have I been mixing wine and tylenol PM? I drank some wine, but no tylenol PM and it felt like I lay there not sleeping but processing all things derby all night long. Oi.

So I hit my breaking point yesterday. Which is probably a good thing, because maybe now I can finally move forward. I’m proud of how I played yesterday. I made lots of stupid mistakes, for which I have lots of stupid justifications. But I played my hardest, and I only gave up when I had to (and there were a couple of times my legs were so fatigued I had to give up.) I literally left it all on the track. More than once.
Yes, I had three(ish) very stupid cuts. I’m sitting here visualizing them. Why? I need to focus on what I did well. Those three cuts were the result of my body not reacting as quickly as my mind. My legs were lead.
Ever lit a real fire? Like when you camp? At the end of the night, the wood has burned and you’re left with wood coals? The dying embers of the fire? You blow on them and they ignite, only to burn out more thoroughly?
That was my legs yesterday. But I kept blowing on them and telling them to light it up again, and they did. There were two times my legs were lead and I gave up. My first jam and my last jam. Even though it was physical… it was mental.
My first jam was two jams, since I went to the box. And both jams were identical: I fought and fought and fought at the front and was stuck, stuck, stuck, until I broke through after the Fight Club jammer (first Cass, then Alpha.) Both jammers played “eat the baby” on me. I cut Cass. I don’t remember what happened with Alpha. I remember getting hit out and ending up at the back of the pack behind Queen. I tried getting by her once or twice and couldn’t, so I gave up and rolled there for maybe 3 seconds before the jam clock expired. Then I cried a lot.
It was just like… I’m almost there, almost there, almost there, then I got out and was pulled back in. Fuck. It’s how I feel about the whole situation. It was a physical manifestation of my mental state. Except that I gave up at the end. And sometimes I wonder why I don’t give up for real. Mostly I have. If I’m not going to get there, what am I fighting for? And I don’t think I’m going to get there, so… I’m lost. Jamming the first and second jam against Fight Club–ten fresh Fight Club skaters, all after me. (And they were, since both jammers pulled an “eat the baby.”) WTF did I think would happen? I did great. I fought and fought and fought and made those girls work to hold me. Ok, I never got out. But I literally left it all on the track. Physically, emotionally, I left it all there. And then I went back and did it again. And that time, I did get out, and there was no baby eating (though they tried.)
The last jam… I cut Cherry. Stupid. I was on a power jam and doing great, loving life, when I felt my legs go “FUCK YOU, MENACE!” and I went “shit.” Mentally, I gave up. Cherry hit me out and I cut her. Even if the Apex is a bitch for cutting, I should know better. I do. I was jumping back in bounds as she was rolling back, and my legs were tired and my attempt to stay out of bounds when I saw her rolling back was ineffective. So I went to the penalty box and proceeded to have an asthma attack. So I took my helmet off. For which I was scolded. I know I’m not supposed to do that. I’d already caused one scene Sunday, I didn’t need to cause another. Options were: puke, pass out, or take my helmet off so I could breathe. I chose oxygen and I chose correctly. And I put my helmet back on as soon as I could breathe. Safety, first, right? Even when you’re the jammer and safety means a two minute jammer penalty.
So, yes, a dramatic Sunday.
Saturday, I’m going to do it again. In a public, hour long Fight Club vs. The World scrimmage, I will jam for the world. And I won’t get out, and I won’t score, and it will be okay because I will leave it all on the track. Except next time, I’ll leave it all on the track in a “fuck yeah, bitches!” way instead of a sobbing in the corner way.

Ok so that 2hr spin class almost killed me. It was really boring. Just pedaling pedaling pedaling. More pedaling. And it hurt. And I got tired. I ate a Luna bar halfway through. Wish I’d had Shot Bloks, but Tim ate them all (men, omg.) As I was eating it, I thought “this will give me stomach cramps” but I was hungry (even after a big breakfast) and my mouth and hands didn’t listen, I just ate it. I didn’t get sick. I was super wobbly when it got over and a little nauseous. Drove home, downed a glass of Gatorade, and literally thought I would puke. So I showered and lay down for two hours.
Then I got up and ate a bowl of chili and felt better. But I had nothing to munch on during Downton Abbey (I was catching up on episodes since Tim was napping,) so I broke into the giant heart chocolate box Tim got me for Valentine’s Day.
Yeah. There were four left this morning and now it’s empty…
