Preparing For Today's Workout

Ok, it is bathing suit season and for the last 90 days I have been doing Insanity.  I must say that I look great!! Real talk.  I plan on starting the whole process over again in the next week or so.  I am still working out but now I am focusing mainly on my glutes, quads and core or ab section.  I am also using weights.  I had a short ab and glute workout this morning which consited of some floor exercises for my abs and weighted squats and lunges for my glutes.  I plan on having another workout after I get home from work later this evening.  But, I have noticed that I do not eat sufficiently enough during the workday to fuel a really good workout.  I do not want to wait to get home and then eat right before a workout because then my stomach will cramp up and I will wind up quitting. 

So I had to make sure that I ate a protein rich lunch today.  Which is hard for me to do because I am a vegetarian.  Well, its not really hard, there are plenty of ways to get protein without eating meat.  Beans, whole grains, nuts, things like that. So, I went to Publix and got an egg salad sub for lunch and a protein bar.  That damn sub was delicious. . . or maybe I was just really hungry.  Either way I will be more prepared for my workout later tonight.  While I was at Publix, I came across a protein bar, wafer kinda thing.  It's called Power Crunch.  I had the french vanilla creme flavor.  It was coated in a vanilla creme. . . I guess. There is 14 grams of protein in one bar which is great!  So I decided to give it a try and it really does taste good.  I'm gonna have to buy a whole bunch more of these because it is a really easy way to consume some protein before and after a good workout.  Usually, a good protein bar has a funky after taste but not this one.  I was pleasantly surprised.  I also purchased the peanut butter flavor.  I love peanut butter so in my opinion it can't be bad.  Hopefully I am right since I already purchased it.

Oh do you want to hear something funny?  Just before lunch today, at around 11:30 or so, my friend J sent me a text saying "I'm hungry".  Yup that is all it said. 

Now here is a little background information. Twice in the past I have bought him lunch out of the  kindness of my heart not by his request.  I mean he does lay it down at my request so it is the least I can do from time to time. I also gave him one of my old Android cell phones because he was walking around with an outdated dinosaur.  At the time I had four of them that were not being used so it was really no sweat of my back.   But apparently, he must be starting to see me as a some kind of "sugar momma" or something because that text kinda seemed like he expected me to hop up from my desk, go get him something to eat and bring it to him. 

"Ha, ha dis nigga got me mutherfuckin' twisted", in my ghetto girl voice.  So I responded to his text by saying "Umm, ok.  Go get something to eat".

He responds by saying "I funny".  Now I don't know if this is a typo or if it just a manifestation of his lack of grammar skills but I responded by saying " yes, you are funny".

He says, " no, u".  I'm like, "ha ha, no u! As a matter of fact u should get us both something to eat cuz I'm hungry too :-)".  I did not hear from him again until after lunch.  I wonder if I hit a nerve or something.  I had to find out so I sent him another text saying "So. . . did you get something to eat"? 

All he responded with was "no".  Of course I was not done poking the bear so I sent one last text saying "Why not"?  It is now 3:30pm and I have not gotten a response as of yet.  Oh well, I hope I got my point across.  His job is to lay the pipe upon request. You may ask "what does he get in return"?  Well, he gets to lay the pipe with ME.  That is payment enough.  That's it, now if I decide that I want to give you a little extra something because maybe one night you stepped into your over achiever shoes then that is my prerogative.  But don't expect that ish on a regular basis or think you can request it.  Naw nigga, that is a violation.  He'll be alright.  I'm not concerned. 

I have a date this coming Saturday night.  A couple weekends ago I went to get two new tires and the guy that actually changed my tires asked me for my number.  I did not give it to him but I did take his.  Then I got in contact with him and now I have I date.  It was originally scheduled for last Friday night but I had to reschedule. He is supposed to be coming over to my place for dinner and a movie.  I would go out but my momz will not watch the kids.  Actually she said she would watch the boys for me last Friday.  Then the very next day after she agreed to do so she called me at work and said she couldn't do it.  She always does this to me.  Here is the kicker.  Last Friday night at 9pm she calls me and says "I'm home, I thought maybe you and your friend could go out now".  I kid you not, that is what she said.  Then I had to explain to her that it would be strange of me to call him at 9pm and request to go out on a date.  My mother is not a stupid women, she knows this.  She was just trying to be nosey or difficult. . . whatever.

Then at the same time she will tell me that I need a husband and not a "sex buddy" (her words not mine).  She actually told me that via text.  I responded by saying "Sure, I'll pick one of those up on the way home from work", or something like that.  I know she means well, but she also no help.  How am I supposed to find a husband if I can't go out anywhere?  .  Guess I gotta wait until one of my boys gets old enough to babysit.  Until then, I'm gonna do what I do. 

Well, it will be quittin' time in about 1 1/2 hours and I feel like I have done nothing but blog all day.  That's not exactly true . . . I have also been answering phones, lol.  I do have to sort this mail and then maybe save some emails.  Think I will try to get some actual work done.
