Miss-Lecea

This blog update will be strictly about the athletes and celebrities who have recently ruined their careers by doing something they probably should not have done.

Today at work I noticed that Alex Rodriguez was blasted all over Sports Center on ESPN.  I can’t help but stare into his beautiful eyes, they are quite charming, and pay no attention to whatever they’re talking about (sound is muted anyways).  So I get it, he took steroids and lied about it.  Big deal, many athletes have done it before and many will do it in years to come.  I understand it’s cheating since it’s a performance booster and the other athletes are at a disadvantage because they like to follow the rules and not shoot steroids into their bodies because there are tons of side effects, but I’m starting to get tired of looking at his gorgeous puss.

Michael Phelps is now in trouble for taking a hit off a bong at some random college party that he attended in November.  This honestly is just sad news to me.  I don’t care that he smoked pot, smokes regularly, or this was his first time, what I care about is… Who the hell thought it was ok to take a picture of him smoking and why would they wait 3 months to do anything with it, and why would he think it’s ok to go to a party where he doesn’t know anyone and start doing illegal things?  It was poor judgment on his behalf, but I’m glad the guy likes to go out and have some fun.  Bad news is that he lost his Kellogg Corn Flakes deal but he still has Subway !  Next time I’m at a party and take a hit off of a bong, I’ll be sure to eat a Subway sandwich to satisfy my marijuana munchies.  What is horrible is that he might not be able to participate in the next Olympics.  That would just be horrible !  He’s a great swimmer and what he does on his own time should not effect his chances in competing in the Olympics.  People should be able to do what they want and have fun without having a bunch of problems.

Chris Brown is now one of my least favorite R&B recording artists.  I mean, OMG, I love Rhianna and here he is beating and biting on her !  That’s just simply outrageous and incredibly senseless.  From what I’m reading, they are not getting back together, Chris caused some serious injuries to Rhianna’s face, her lip was split open and her nose was bleeding.  So far, Chris has lost his Wrigley’s Gum & Got Milk add campanigns, NBA All-Star Games have also cancelled their contract with him.  He could spend up to 9 years in prison for what he’s done which I think would be perfect.  I hope he ends up in a cell with some big fat dude named Melvin and gets beat every night if he doesn’t please Melvin before lights out.  I hope Rhianna finds a good man who will take care of her and never lay his hands on her.  You deserve so much better lady.

Well, that’s all I have for now.  I felt like gossiping today.

“I Am Superwoman”

That’s my new motto.  I am going to start making a list of things to do for everyday and try to follow those things as best as I can.  I need to start planning things out or I will never succeed.  I have been just letting my life go on with no big plan to make the whole thing better.  I’ve just been doing small things that will eventually improve my life and been doing them slowly.  I need to work hard to relax later.  If I don’t start getting more things accomplished in the days, I’ll end up being in the same place 5 years from now and still saying to myself that I must move forward.

Being Superwoman means I can do it, I can do whatever I can, whatever I need to.  I can accomplish more than what I’m used to, because I am Superwoman and that’s just what Superwoman does.

Everything has been so crazy lately, but everything is starting to get better, including the weather !  It’s starting to warm up, it was over 40 degrees today and sunny.  I missed most of it because I was sleeping, I had a rather long night last night hanging out with my friend and didn’t get to sleep so I called into work so I could lay in bed all day.  I know it was a horrible thing to do, but I’m honest and I was too tired to properly function.  I think I’m still a little too tired, but oh well.  Good news is I lost more weight even though I ate McDonald’s !

As of today when I stepped on the scale, I was down by 3lbs from the last time I weighed myself which was on Tuesday.  I did some research online about good fitness programs, I found a lot of good news about Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred.  I looked into it a bit and even found the workout on Youtube and decided to try it out before I bought it.  It was fantastic !  It was just what I was looking for, something hard and tough and that will push me so I can get a better workout and it even works on strength to tone the muscles.  I’ve noticed them toning too.  In just the first couple days of using it, I noticed more definition in my arms from doing all of the push ups, curls & rows.  I would suggest this DVD to anyone looking to lose weight, build some muscle or anyone just looking for a new workout to give them a challenge.  It is so worth your money because it’s not expensive and it really works !  I liked this DVD so much that I noticed she was coming out with two more DVDs on February 3rd, so I ordered them as well.   I have not received them yet but I see that there is nothing but great reviews for the new DVDs.

So, I ended up buying a planner (I’m going to take it back because it’s missing almost 2 months of pages in it) so I could keep track of all the things I need to do.  I end up slacking off a lot because I make a bunch of plans and forget about them so I don’t follow through or I end up being late because I don’t plan or manage my time well.  Getting a planner and writing everything down will help a lot I hope.  I’ll be keeping track of my running & fitness training, my weight loss progress and just normal everyday tasks, plus my friends that want to hang out with me.

I might be cutting back my hours at my restuarant to pick up another job.  This job really intrests me, I’ll be moving around during a five hour shift and be able to work on my strength.  It’s weekend nights from 5pm-10pm, it pays well, has insurance & benefits and is only a few miles from my house.  I’ll most likely be applying there next week.

More about my progress later, I just want to curl up and sleep right now.  Night !

I ended up getting to bed at 4:25am.  As I was laying down, I got a text from my co-worker asking me to work for her this morning.  At the time I didn’t feel like answering, I didn’t know if I would be able to get out of bed at 9am to go to work.  My boss then calls me twice and texts me between 8 & 9am so I figured, I need some extra cash, I might as well get my butt up and go to work.

It was pretty slow today,  I made less than $50 for the couple hours that I was there but I managed to still get some things done today.  I got an oil change in my neighborhood.  The owner was so nice and helpful and I didn’t feel like he was pressuring me to get things I didn’t need or couldn’t afford.  What a relief, I brought my car to a Tires Plus once and they tried to sell me $2.5k of crap that I know my car didn’t need.  On top of that, they called to ask me three different times stating “Oh, we’re not busy right now so it would be best to have us fix this stuff now.  Is there anyone who can loan you the money or can we speak to someone else who can help you out with the funds?”  I was like “No ! Leave me alone, my car runs just fine, do my oil change and gimme back my damn car !”

So glad I didn’t have to go through with that again today.  The owner even tried giving me a discount for an item that he thought I should get, I told him I’d think about it and get back to him.  I honestly would plan on going back there again.

So, tomorrow is what I like to call Weekend Wednesday.  It’s a day that I almost always have off from work by request and I normally spend that day with my babe.  Normally he plans out all the things that we do for the day, but tomorrow, I’m the planner.  On the agenda is an early rise with a visit to the gym and then back to the house for showers.  I want to check out this really neat Japanese Restaurant in Minneapolis for lunch.  They serve sushi and also have a seperate vegan friendly menu.  From lunch, we’ll be off to Indoor Rock Climbing.  We were supposed to go to a Timberwolves game but unfortunately the company my boyfriend gets tickets from didn’t have any for the game on Wednesday.  Oh well, we’ll go another time.  I’ll be taking pictures of our day tomorrow and making a nice post about the day.  I’m excited, I hope we have tons of fun rock climbing, because I’ve never done it before.

Going to go shower and pack for my “Weekend Wednesday”.

Peace, love & veggies. **

Well, it’s a new year and I figured I needed a new layout. I have no idea why I got the sudden urge to sit down and create a new layout, but I did. This one took me about 8 hours to do which is quick for me, I’m very pleased with the turnout. I absolutely adore it.  It’s now 3:30am and I’m exhausted ! Luckily I don’t have to work today, but I have plans to clean out the apartment.

I noticed I have a bunch of junk that I don’t use stashed in my closets. I don’t want to become a crazy pack-rat, so I will be purging all the crap that I haven’t used in the past 6 months or plan to never use again from my living space.

I also have plans to get my oil changed and I must run ! I’m so excited to run ! Hopefully I don’t sleep in too late and I’ll even have time to highlight my hair like I’ve been wanting to.  Ok, I’m off to bed, my butt hurts from sitting for so long and I’ve been up for way too long !  I can tell I’m getting older, I used to be able to stay awake for a complete 36 hours with no problem of feeling tired.  I can hardly make it 24 hours now.  I guess that’s life though !

I started my training tonight after work.  I have to say that I’ve been extremely stressed out and pissed off lately and I honestly believe that it all went away tonight while I ran.  I was amazed when I ended up doing more than I thought I could, I moved on to week 2 of training on day one.  I feel so exhilarated and great.
I’m supposed to only train every other day but I’m so anxious to do it again that I want to go back tomorrow.  I won’t though because I know my body needs rest.  Instead I’ll have to settle for my normal Aerobics, Yoga and lifting weights.  I started looking into some 5k races and I’m really hoping I get to do the HUGE 5k Mother’s Day Race for Breast Cancer that takes place at the Mall of America on May 10th.  There was one more in the middle of April.
Considering I’ve never really ran before and when I first tried (at 200lbs), I was hopeless and couldn’t run for more than a full minute, I didn’t think that if I just started training now I would be ready for a race in 2 months.  I now feel that since dropping weight and being active lately I will have no problem being ready to do a 5k next week.  I almost couldn’t get myself off the treadmill tonight.
All this time I had been spending money because shopping made me feel better when I was in a bad mood, but what I really needed to be doing was running.  Hands down, running makes me feel one hundred times better than a new pair of shoes or the perfect outfit.  I’ll even look 100 times better after I burn off these last few pounds and can wear whatever I want.  From now on, when I feel like shopping, I’m just going to grab my running shoes and stomp ground.
So glad I was able to express this, I hope I wake up in the morning and feel the same way and not all groggy and sore, haha.
