I hate housing, and back day


Really, the housing office at Fort Polk is getting on my last nerve. I submitted our housing application two months ago. We were told our wait would be 50 days. it has been 52 days, and we are still only number 28. This would not make me so mad if we were not number 27 earlier this morning. And this is not the first time this has happened. Every time we take one step forward, we take two steps back. And in the meantime we are stuck in the middle of nowhere, in crappy temp housing with four children sharing two beds in a single room, with giant cockroaches roaming and ants going insane. Call the front desk to complain and they send someone out with a can of raid. That's it. I'm going to SCREAM!! I want my freaking house and I want it NOW. We can't even go off base because there is nothing to accomadate our family for less than 600 OVER our housing allowance. it's insanity. And we've just finished our ten days that the army will cover so from here on out every day we're stuck in this nightmare of a hotel, is coming out of pocket. I'm going to cry. Seriously.

Another reason I'm frustrated is because there is no neighborhood center where they've stuffed us. No gym, no nothing. So I'm still stuck using my bands to get by and I can only fit cardio in on the days my hubby is home and even then it's limited to running or walking. Yes, I know that there are videos and such i can do, but we're upstairs and the people downstairs complain when our kids walk across the room let alone when I'm bouncing along trying to keep my heart rate up.
I will admit that I'm PMS'ing today and that's got a lot to do with my foul mood. But hey, only 3 more days and I can get back to buffing!

My other rant for the day, asking my help to set up a program. I don't mind setting up programs for people. I love to use my knowledge to help others. But don't ask me to set you up a detailed program if you aren't going to follow it. If you've already asked me if it's safe to go to the gym twice a day for an hour each time in hopes of losing a few extra pounds before your event, and I've already explained that I've got you on a low cal diet, and that if you push harder than I've laid out for you, you will ruin your efforts, don't turn around and start asking other people. It's obvious you just want someone to tell you its okay regardless of what you've been told. I helped a woman on a forum I frequent with a plan for a ball she has to attend. I detailed supplementation, diet, weight programs and even cardio. What to do on what day, for how long based on where she is in her cycle. Now when she's soliciting advice on said forum, she's not mentioning her low calorie diet, or the amount of cardio she's doing, or anything other than she wants to lose a few pounds before an event. And of course guess who she'll blame when she runs herself into the ground. Don't ask me to set you up a program, for free no less, if you aren't going to follow it.

Okay, I think I got all my ranting out for the day. SO, here are my stats.

Cycle Day 1
BF% 21.1

Back Day

Pull ups. I don't have a bar to do it here so I pulled the hotel desk out, layed underneath it, grasped the edges and used that. It's just as effective and good in a pinch.

Lat pull downs: This is why I say you can do anything with bands. I attach the soft ankle straps to it and run a broom stick through it. I also do this with anything asking for a barbell

Seated cable rows: again with bands. I get mine from www.Aylio.com

one arm bent over rows
rear fly.

Post WO nutrition is so important so I had a banana creme muscle milk protein shake with some yummy caramel corn rice cakes for my fast burning carbs. So fantastic!!

((in case you were wondering, my tat is flipped because I had to take the second pic in a mirror...lol))
