Steve Largent HOF 95'

So working for Clear has been quite annoying. Pay is horrid, hours are
ok, but a 10 hour shift all alone can tend tot drive a person insane.
Which is about where i am now. Well one thing that is a perk was a
nationwide contest. Top sales reps got NFL spiffs, Well I finished 3rd
in nation to quota. So great!! right?! Well I was on guaranteed so
what ever i sold just was salt on top of the already gravy!!

Well i have been waiting about 6 months for my gift to arrive all i
knew is that it was going to be a signed piece of merchandise. I
wasn't to picky on what I got. I like football in all. But im not
obsessed. Apart of me was hoping for a jersey, not like I would be
able to wear it with out getting yelled at my well just about any one
who seen me wear a signed jersey....I would yell at me. Back to the
point at hand. This is not what i was Expecting. Its kinda better. Its
retailed between $210 and $299. on sale some places for 100.

I feel as if this is quite the prize possession. Best pick up line
ever for a sports fan...."I have a signed football by Steve Largent.
Wanna see it?" I wanted to share my excitement for it as i am really
quite excited about it... I just wanna cuddle it! <3

The Truth About the Fat Burning Zone

An Article I read on target heart rate and weight loss....Thought I would pass it on!

What is Your Target Heart Rate?

In order to figure out which zone you're in, you first need to figure out what your own target heart rate is. You can do this by using the Karvonen Formula. You can also use any number of target heart rate calculators to get your heart rate zone, but many of them do not incorporate your resting heart rate (which makes it a bit more accurate).

Below is an example of the Karvonen formula for a 23 year old person with a resting heart rate of 65 beats per minute (*to get your resting heart rate, take your pulse for one full minute.):

220 - 23 (age) = 197
197 - 65 (resting heart rate) = 132
132 * 65% (low end of heart rate) OR 85% (high end) = 85.8 OR 112.2
85.8 + 65 (resting heart rate) = 150 112.2 + 65 (rhr) = 177
The target heart rate zone for this person would be 150 to 177


When it comes to cardio, it's up to you and your goals how much you do and how often. For weight loss, most experts recommend 60 or more minutes of moderate intensity activity most days of the week, but if you're a beginner, you may need to start at a lower level of exercise. For beginners, you might start with three days of cardio exercise for 20 or more minutes, adding time each week. If you're an intermediate or advanced exerciser, you can do cardio anywhere from 4 to 6 days a week, keeping in mind that varying your workouts and doing different activities, intensities and durations will offer great weight loss results


Below is a chart detailing a SAMPLE week of cardio workouts for a person who exercises five days a week. This is simply an example of how to incorporate different types of cardio workouts into a typical week. Modify the workouts according to your own fitness level, time constraints, and likes and dislikes.

DayIntensity Level DurationExamples/Perceived Exertion
Monday High IntensityDuration: 20-30 minutesAlternate 1-min sprint with 2 min walking.
Perceived Exertion (PE) sprints:  8-9, walking:  5-6
TuesdayMedium IntensityDuration: 45-60 minutes Walking or jogging
PE:  5-6
WednesdayLow-Medium Intensity Duration: All dayUse a pedometer and try to get 10,000 steps
ThursdayMedium-HighDuration: 30-60 minutes Kickboxing
PE:  5-7
FridayMedium-HighDuration: 30-45 minutes Elliptical Trainer
PE:  4-5
SaturdayLow-Medium Duration: 30-60 minutesWalking or aerobics class
PE:  4-6

Don't forget to:

  • Warm up and cool down for each workout
  • Drink lots of water (take a sip every 15 minutes during your workout)
  • Stretch after your workout
  • Eat a small, well-balance snack an hour or two before you hit the gym. 

For this person to work in his 'fat burning' zone, he would need to stay around 150 beats per minute or lower. To work within his 'cardio' zone, he would need to work at 150 bpm or higher.  This step-by-step article will help you learn more about finding your target heart rate and how to use it.

Sure enough they did! When they said JUMP, you know I JUMPED!! You know I looked like a fool when Allie informed me that I looked ridiculous!! PERFECT! and Mission accomplished! They played all of my favorite songs and even a handful of the new ones I like as well. My voice at this point was no longer a thing. It was gone and done!



Oh Yea Nelly was there too! He I wasn't In to him. but it was still a good show! towards the end I sure did get fant from lack of food. But we went to Denny's so this took care of my weak feeling. Over all amazing time!
My Hair is no longer in tight Curls....Post concert Hair.

I went for a bike ride which the chain got stuck like less than a mile into it. So I was already pooped, yes, I am that outta shape that less than a mile into I was wiped out! Back to the Chain, busted, i now have to walk the bike home. Pooped and wiped out i get home the sun is out and its warm  enough!

I pull up the chair lounge I brought back from Cali and took my shirt off pulled my sweats up as far as they would go and layed out!

Temps were only in the high 40's but I sure did my best tanning efforts I stayed out for an hour. Warm will mean I will be out side in lounge style collecting the rays! Oh baby! lets get this tan back!

Found lost dog

I came home from the Sunday shift at work, to see this small dog, I'm
thinking my Mojo got out. As I grew closer it was not my pup but a
lost grungy sad lonely dog.. Of course I stop to call it over, see if
it would come near. And it did it even followed me to my door. So I
get permission to have stinky stay the night. Outside in a kennel
providing it water and food of corse.

If this was my dog and it was out wondering the streets I would love
it if some one came and made as much effort as o have to find it's
human! I made a post on craigslist. Called all of the shelters.
Emailed all of the shelters, called every add on craigslist that could
possibly be this dog. So far no such luck. It simply breaks my heart
that a dog can be dismissed by. So many people. By the looks of his
condition no one has made an attempt to find it's home. I wish people
would love more and try and help when the situation arises. I like to
think that this time, I did, and I hope with every fiber of my being
that I find it's home....


I'm calling it an it cause it needs a bath and I sure can't tell. And
a hair cut.

Antelope island national park

Loaded up 26 people into 4 riggs. And headed up 20 miles north to antelope island national park. They fast it's the best way to experience the great salt lake. Which by the way is rumored to have a whale in it.  Rumors. Well when we are there we see smooth water which reflects  the images of the Wasatch Mountain range. Ever so clear.the water has 8 times the amt of salt that the ocean has.

While we were there we seen antelope and buffalo. They have several buffalo that run free on the site.  I of course in all of my awesomeness stood out side the sun roof to get closer view. Kent, susan, devin, and mckenna actually got out of the car and headed towards the huge beasts.

More pics to follow....later

Kent broke the table

Do we are at boondocks here in utah. And theres a slew if people here. So thinking to be nice and move a large table so that more people can sit together..well large table he moves it as a pivot...even tho he had help.

He moved the table and Susan noticed that the leg was crooked...so he kicked the leg to straightened it. Well in doing so the entire leg popped off.. The screws under the table popped off. We moved the table back and prepped the leg back under it...

I strongly advise that no one leans on this particular table...For it is broken.
