First, I cooked some pieces of bacon, then removed the bacon and browned some chicken thighs in the bacon-y goodness. After the thighs were sufficiently crispy, I got rid of the grease and put the thighs back in the pan, plus 1 cup of chicken broth and simmered it for 30 minutes. --I then added the bacon pieces back to the pan. Along with that, we had a Cesar salad on the side. SO GOOD.

Jogo made me get out of a nice comfortable bed to run this morning.  Is that a good or bad jogo---Since I like to run it's usually a good thing.

Trainer update:   I've gone balls to the wall and brought in corporate.  H*LL hath no fury like a woman scorned!!!   I am supposed to have an acceptable resolution by noon today.  I told them that because I was so blind sighted by all of this, I have no idea when he figured out we were not a good fit.  I am assuming early on and I want not only my quantity of sessions, I want to be assured that I had quality.  I thought I could trust that he had my best interests but I have asked to have his training plans reviewed because I have seen no progress (he has never done any measure of progress so it was my leg to stand on).  

The range of emotions have stuck on anger and compensation for the stress.   I am standing firm.  Suck it trainer boy!!  


It probably didn't help that my abusive ex-husband has been calling because his current wife has had him arrested, thrown in a psych hospital, and is seeking supervision for his custody in their divorce, as I had in mine.   I have now blocked him from my phone after he told me he should have really wailed on me back when he hit me the first time.   I don't need to relive 20 years ago but it definitely made me put on my big girl panties with this trainer thing. 

Poor trainer.   He really screwed up and I don't think he meant it to turn out this way.  I am worthy though and will get what I paid for.

WOW, Jo. There is a whole lotta stuff in here, range of emotions, indeed! I am glad you are standing up for what is right.  Keep on moving forward!

I normally don't have the time to post in the morning. I usually try to keep up with all the Manatee's over my morning bowl of cereal, then I have to head off to work. I MADE the time after reading this.

Your A-hole ex pisses me off. Guys like this are nothing but cowards. I can't believe he would have the ballz to call you to talk about his current situation, and then in the conversation mention that he should have "wailed" on you back when he hit you. I am floored by this. I am angered by this. I am not a violent person, but I can handle my own, and boy would I love to have a little alone time with this fu**cking idiot. Would love to use him as a my kicking bag and practice 3 1/2 years worth of Taekwondo on his azz!!! Is there anyway that this information (his comment) can be used in his current case to keep his sorry azz locked up longer? I sure hope so.

You are indeed worthy, you are indeed strong, you deserve good things good for you for taking control of your life on not letting D-bag trainers take advantage of you, or A-hole Exes intimidate you.

Keep it up....YOU ARE AWESOME!

I usually don't say as much on these either, but feel the same. Can the wife, lawyer, hospital, authorities familiar with this be contacted somehow? What happened before wasn't right and sounds like things may not have improved.

Good for you in standing up for yourself with corporate.  Trainer boy deserves whatever he gets with them.

 

Your ex also deserves far more than words can express.  Dirt bag is a polite description.  Hope soon to be ex #2 sees him for what he is and gets help to deal with the emotions.  Glad you got out okay!

No need to comment on my ex.  He is not worth anyone's comments or even a second thought.  I have removed the toxin again, as I did 20 years ago.  

I was only sharing because it definitely escalates my attitude and then I become all powered up to take on the world.  I go into superhero-save-the-world-and-make-things-right-mode.  They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.   I don't know if that is true but it definitely makes me turn wrongs into rights.   It just happened that he started calling this weekend, at the same time Lifetime Fitness was trying to resolve this.

Wow, sorry you are going through this, but am happy to see that you are standing up for yourself and not letting your ex play the intimidation game that all abusers play. If you do have contact with your exes current wife, you could let her know what has transpired. She could then get that information to the prosecutor who may be able to use it to keep him in jail pending trial. This would probably mean you'd have to testify at any motion regarding giving him a bond vs. keeping him in jail.Good luck with everything.

Got in 62 degree water this morning for my first OW swim since August (and my first swim at all since Feb!) It was sooo cold at first but I got warmed up, did about a half hour's worth of actual swimming. Worked on some drills and endurance (since I have none). Next time I get in it will be soooo warm - summer has arrived in New England - high of 92 today!

Was supposed to Jogo a 45 minute bike ride this morning. A small altercation with a car door yesterday left my knee swollen and stiff this morning. I'm hoping it will loosen up and get back to normal by COB so I can ride this afternoon :-(

Effortless I hope!

Master's class.  Overall a decent workout but she doesn't give me much feedback on my stroke mechanics or where I can improve things.  I like her workouts better than the other Master class I attend--but the other coach at least gives feedback (inconsistently)  This is what I get for not spending the money on a real swim coach.  Bits and pieces from the web, Masters and a stroke that looks "okay" but could most definitely improve.

Here's how my squad went - first I'm in lane 7 of 8 (8 being slowest) there are five of us, three of us clearly faster.  Coach clears a lane for us.  Two of us move over and have a lane just for us we decided no chatting no resting just go go go.

Constant feed back to me from the coach - he said I need you to go deeper with the hands Jojo, I always think I am then he says something that just clicked, he said I want you to raise your elbow and feel like your hand enters the water right in front of your head.  It will feel wrong but believe me it will be in the right spot.

It was a lightbulb moment.  My catch and pull was just amazingly different.

Thanks coach Johnny

That's super, Jo!!!  I agree with Judi - send us Coach Johnny!

We haven't blown away yet. My goodness. This wind is just horrific. I did get a run in, but I realized 1.5 miles from home that maybe I should have stayed home. Everything around town is creaking -- trees, roofs, buildings, signs. It's like the whole thing is just going to fall apart and blow away. I did get hit in the face with some tree debris, but nothing large, thankfully. I was never so glad to get home. My pace shows how anxious I was about getting home.

The whole time running, I kept telling myself, "Maybe your competitors didn't get out and run today, so you'll be better prepared." and "Your competitors got their runs in today, so if you don't get this run done, you'll be behind, and you can never catch up." and "The next time you run a race with near 50 mph wind gusts, you'll be ready." Motivation. Smile

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - you are one tough mama!!  Wow, it must've been surreal running around hearing things creak, moan and move and dodging debris.  Kudos for getting out there and your motivational speech is awesome!

Trainer update:   I've gone balls to the wall and brought in corporate.  H*LL hath no fury like a woman scorned!!!   I am supposed to have an acceptable resolution by noon today.  I told them that because I was so blind sighted by all of this, I have no idea when he figured out we were not a good fit.  I am assuming early on and I want not only my quantity of sessions, I want to be assured that I had quality.  I thought I could trust that he had my best interests but I have asked to have his training plans reviewed because I have seen no progress (he has never done any measure of progress so it was my leg to stand on).  

The range of emotions have stuck on anger and compensation for the stress.   I am standing firm.  Suck it trainer boy!!  


It probably didn't help that my abusive ex-husband has been calling because his current wife has had him arrested, thrown in a psych hospital, and is seeking supervision for his custody in their divorce, as I had in mine.   I have now blocked him from my phone after he told me he should have really wailed on me back when he hit me the first time.   I don't need to relive 20 years ago but it definitely made me put on my big girl panties with this trainer thing. 

Poor trainer.   He really screwed up and I don't think he meant it to turn out this way.  I am worthy though and will get what I paid for. 

Wow, sorry you are going through this, but am happy to see that you are standing up for yourself and not letting your ex play the intimidation game that all abusers play. If you do have contact with your exes current wife, you could let her know what has transpired. She could then get that information to the prosecutor who may be able to use it to keep him in jail pending trial. This would probably mean you'd have to testify at any motion regarding giving him a bond vs. keeping him in jail.Good luck with everything.

It is so not worth me getting involved in any way.   His soon to be ex-wife was a stalker to me and had threatened the lives of my children.  Let's just say that what goes around.....

It was sooo cold at first but I got warmed up, did about a half hour's worth of actual swimming. Worked on some drills and endurance (since I have none). Next time I get in it will be soooo warm - summer has arrived in New England - high of 92 today!
62*! Yikes! So, what do you consider warm water? My mother won't get in the ocean until the water temp is on the 80's. that usually happens in May.

Last year I walked into my open car door. The corner put a divot in my forehead and knocked me to my knees. I even had to get a tetanus shot! Stupid car doors. Heal up!
