Could I get a massage please!

You may be wondering why there is a picture of a bottle of pain reliever posted above, well I am just dreaming that I could BATHE in it! Yesterday, I met with my personal trainer for the first time. After I had already done nearly an hour of cardio, he asked me if I wanted to do some circuit weight training, stupid me, said "yeah!" Me and another girl starting with some leg curls which didn't seem to bad, in fact I was thinking hey this is easy, but by the time she and I had made it to the leg lifts,(and when I say leg lifts I mean, weights on your shoulders as you squat down to the ground and then back up) I was in misery, by the third set of 10 my legs were jello!

I thought the torture was over, when I was filling out all my paper work, then my trainer says, "Hey, I got a few girls coming to do a butt, abs, and hips class, do you want to sit in?" and knowing I shouldn't, I said "OK!" Big mistake, it wasn't just some quick, little, easy, class where you do a few crunches, it was a WHOLE HOUR of jumping, kicking, punching, lifting, and a whole lot of complaining!

Needless to say today I AM BUSTED! The hairs on my head hurt! And to think I'm willingly putting myself through this, and you know what.... I'm going back again today to take more punishment! This better work, I'm talking I want to look like Victoria Secret model good after this!

Are you ever going to come work out with me?

Well I did it! I started working out at the YMCA, yeah I know BIG WHOOP-D-DO but I think it is the beginning of a beautiful work out routine for me! I started off by using the elliptical, then I went to the treadmill, then the bike, I wanted to use the ab machine but I was too embarrassed to go in to the weight room. Have you been to the YMCA (in Pikeville) around 4:30 it's SO crowded and in the weight room, its ALL men! Not there's anything wrong with men, it's just that I felt awkward walking in there and attempting to use the equipment, knowing I was going to make a fool out of myself. I still want a work out partner! I thought I had someone here at the station talked in to it but they backed out on me.......you know who you are.....and your a WUSS! Well, just wanted to let you know that my first day at the gym was successful! I can't wait to work out again this evening before work, I know I have NO life!

Who looks better the girl on the left, or right?

To the left and right of you, you will see two images, one of a girl who is on the heavy side and the other of a girl who is entirely too skinny! But, which one is more attractive? Who's to say which is more attractive? I'm not willing to make that call, I am however willing to find a healthy medium on the way I want to look. I am six foot tall, and NO I'm NOT going to tell you how much I weigh, but I can tell you that I want to weigh 20 pounds less than what I weigh now! I did though, decided that losing weight wasn't as important to me as getting toned and healthy was so instead of CRASH dieting I am going to starting working out and................

Today is the official day that I will start working out at the Y! I'm relatively excited! The thought of jogging on the treadmills, and running on the elliptical excites me to no end. (Is that pathetic?) Are you going to come work out with me? I really need an exercise partner! No one here at the radio station seems too interested in joining me. I know what your thinking how am I going to know which person is Tia.....well, just look for the girl, who seems very confused on how exactly you operate all the work out equipment! Seriously, I haven't worked out (hard core) since I was in college, and my roommate helped me then, when I didn't know how something worked she was always there to explain it to me. Now she lives in Florida and I doubt I can call her on my cell every time I get confused! Well, just wanted to remind you that I still need a work out partner, and someone to help me learn how to use the equipment, surely someone at the Y will be willing to help me?

Still homeless.............

Well, I'm still homeless.....(in the sense that I haven't purchased a new home yet) it's times like these I wish I had magic wand I could wave and poof I would have a new house. But since Wal-Mart was fresh out of magic wands this morning, looks like its back to spending my entire lunch breaks on the phone with banks, loan companies, and Realtors.

When I was in college my roommate (Mandy) and I rented an apartment together, and let me be the first to say, RENTING IS NOT FUN! I hated renting! It was like as soon as I paid last months rent, next months rent was due, and I realize it's the same way with a house payment, but eventually you will own that house, you know how much I own of that apartment I rented all those years! NADA not even a little blade of grass in the yard is mine, I felt like I might as well be burning money!

OK, that's an update on my house situation, I'm still waiting on some advice on buying my first home, come on I know someone out there who listens to Z-Rock has bought a house before! Help a sister out! I'm not asking for money just advice!

HELP ME!

Z-Rockers HELP ME!

Buying a house is by far the most stressful thing I have ever done! There's so much I didn't know about, PMI, Origination fees, closing cost, inspection fees, realtor commission, its just one big ball of stress to me. So I guess you know now, I'm trying to buy a house, my first house to be exact, and I'm totally overwhelmed.

The two people I depend on most in this world....my parents can't offer me one little piece of advice, they built their house and didn't have to borrow one red cent, I on the other hand, will be borrowing money, and that's where it all gets messy. Its easy picking out the house I want, but just purchasing it is not! Thank God for the people I work with, they have been SOOOO helpful! Dan P'Pool our director of sales taught me so much in just one sit down, he really knows his stuff, I think he missed his calling as a financial advisor.

Well, I guess I just wanted to let you know that I need some advice! I'm always willing to listen, got any suggestion on things I should look out for, or advice on what kind of loan I should get, PLEASE let me know I would GREATLY appreciate your efforts to help put this first time buyer in her FIRST EVER HOME!

Meet me at the Y!

Z-Rockers

So Deidra Adams, (one of the ladies I work with) convinced me I DID NOT need to lose any more weight, and that I should just tone up, if I wasn't happy so I thought WOW what a great idea, so no more soup for me, I did however lose 7lbs. Tuesday January 30th I am starting working out at the YMCA! I will have a six pack by summer, well maybe not but I will be bikini ready! HAHAHA!

Again, if you want to work out with me feel free! I would truly LOVE to have someone to run on the treadmills with! Well everyone have a good weekend!

Day 3!

Day 3 of my diet,

So as you know I was suppose to weigh 5 lbs lighter this morning.......and I DO! I am so excited! I felt like maybe I would have lost 1 or 2 lbs but to see that I have lost 5lbs is very encouraging, and to think I almost gave in last night!

Just, let me, let you know, that I am fully aware of the fact that losing 10lbs in 7 days just means the minute I start eating normal again I will gain it all back, but that's the thing I"M NOT GOING TO START EATING NORMAL AGAIN! I wanted to do this diet to drop some weight fast, and then start working out (Hard Core) to keep it off. Tuesday at 4:30 I'm starting working out at the Y, come join me if you want! I would love to have a work out partner!

Well, guess I'll go get an apple, today I'm aloud to have nothing but soup, veggies, and fruit! I think I can make it to the weekend!

Day 2

Day 2 of my diet.

I made it through the night without cheating, not even once, I ate soup and fruit and that was it! Today I can only have vegetables and soup, and its like, what do you eat for breakfast when all you can is soup or veggies, so I opted to have two carrots. They were not bad, actually I had forgotten how much I liked carrots. I know it seems funny but it's only two days in and I already feel better, I thought on my way to work this morning, I'm going to start working out! My radio station just told us yesterday, that all employees get to join the Y for free! I was so excited, they couldn't have gave me a pay raise and made me happier! Well maybe...............HAHAHAHA!

I do however intend to workout, if anyone wants to workout with me feel free, I'm starting next Tuesday, from 4:30-5:30! I would love to have a few work out partners.

I'll let you know how day three of my diet goes tomorrow, I should weigh 5 lbs less by tomorrow evening, I'm going to have to bring a scale to work.

I'm on a diet!

Oh what I will do to lose weight, let me just tell you what sorta pickle I have myself in now. 3 words Sacred Heart Diet. I started a diet I found on-line. Guaranteed you'll loose at least 10lbs in 7 days! Of course I want instant gratification when I diet so I'm think 10lbs in a week I can do this! Its seemed fairly easy, you just eat soup every day, along with some fruits, veggies, and a little meat.

I went to the grocery store last night, and let me just tell you going on a diet is NOT cheap, I spent 100.00 on ingredients for my soup, bottled water, unsweetened juice, skim milk, lean meat, brown rice, raw veggies, and tons of fruit. I'm thinking hey, sure its expensive but if I lose weight it's worth 100 bucks.

As I start making the soup I realize that it is NOT going to be a tasty soup mix, I was thinking vegetable soup, NO, it was more like broth and onion soup! Yuck! But still, 10lbs in 7 days that's pretty good, and worth chocking down this soup, and on the first day I get to have fruit with the soup.

Well, today is day one, I've had a bowl of soup for breakfast and an apple, and about a pound of grapes. Every time I feel hungry I'm suppose to eat soup but instead I down a bottle of water. Oh gosh I hope this diet works, if not I will have suffered for a week for no reason. By Wednesday I'll suppose to have lost 5 lbs. I'll keep you updated.

Wave hello to me.....

I drive an hour and a half to get to work, after working at the radio station for over a year, I started making up new ways to entertain myself. For the first 6 months I just waved at as many people as possible and counted how many waved back. Some people smiled and waved back, some people flipped me the bird, and some tried to pull me over (scary!).

That got to dangerous so I moved to something new, everyday I would pick a color and then count how many vehicles were that color, and this game was way to boring so then I started honking every time I seen a certain colored car, and that got me into a little bit of trouble, apparently honking your horn is a sign of warning, and I had no reason to warn anyone of anything!

Now I'm on a big kick of dancing! I blast Z-Rock and dance uncontrollably , well as uncontrollably as you can dance in a car, and I noticed this morning that, you get a lot of attention when you do this.7 people waved, laughed, or honked at me on my way to work.

Now, were they honking, waving, and/or laughing cause they thought I was entertaining, or because they thought I was loony. I don't really care either way, but I would like to discover a new way to entertain myself, (any idea's?) For now I guess I'll keep dancing. And if you see a girl, in a black convertible car, waving her hands like bees are on her and singing like someone is listening, just honk and wave hello, it's probably me!

Monday Morning Mood Swing

I haven't written a Monday Morning Mood Swing in a while so here it goes....... Brace yourself for this one.

Brittany Spears is letting K-Fed take their kids out of state for the weekend, now at first I thought this was a bad idea, the man doesn't act like he has the sense God gave a goose and yet she is letting him take her kids miles away from her, then I got to thinking, maybe this is a good thing. It's not like Brittany has been mom of the year. She parties uncontrollably till all hours of the night or better yet morning, she has Paris Hilton as a ROLE MODEL, and the her kid has been dropped and or rolled off of beds and high chairs one too many times! The more I pondered on the idea of K-Fed having the kids the better I felt about that low life of a man!

Sorry Brittany but its the truth, you are no better than he! Please, do something to change my mind! I don't care what but straighten up and act like the mother those kids deserve!

hmmmm....Have I ran out of things to say?

Well, I made it a total of 3 days with out eating any chocolate and then I broke! I can't help it sweets are my weakness! I told myself in 2007 I'm going to eat more fruit less sweets, and I still may eat less sweets than last year but cutting them out completely is just stupid! It's one of the few things in life I enjoy I'm not about to say goodbye to it, maybe I will just take more kick boxing classes and it will counter act the sweets!

I want to do something fun this weekend! I'm thinking maybe take a trip, they say snow shoe mountain is great this time of year, skiing sounds like a lot of fun! But there's one small problem I have no idea how to ski! I can ice skate, does that count?

What are you doing this weekend?

2007.....Are you kidding me?

Did you watch the ball drop? I was in the studio counting down the top 100 songs of 2006 with Dave! We had a whole lot of fun. I hope you tuned us in. 2007 is here! What ever happened to 2006? I feel old! Why I don't know but I feel old! In less than 4 months I will be 22, I think back to 16 and I couldn't wait to be 21 now all I want to do is be 16 again!

What was your resolution? Mine was to exercise more, drink more water, go to church more, dedicate myself to family more, and make time to make myself happy! I know that is a long line of resolutions but I figure if I make a whole bunch of them I will inevitably honor one of them.

I will try and keep you updated on how I am doing with all my resolutions!
