Posted by: Nike_Girl

Though the other journal was getting old.. again.. I'm not having any Roman Challange anymore.. So this will be my new hang out..

Cheerleading season starts in about a month and I want to trim down a little before putting on that mini-skirt and "show whole your belly" top.. One month is not very long.. but I don't exactly have to have my veins showing, just a little trim down.. The first hockey game is on the 24th of september..

I don't have a lot of time on my hands to make this the ultimate first post in this new journal, so I'll come back later to fill in all the blanks...

Take care,
NG

Good luck NG! And you know that now you've mentioned the whole cheerleading thing....the boys are going to start asking for pics!

Does the hocky team have a website?

Bye for now!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey Miss L!
Thanx for a nice first reply in my journal! But don't start ecouraging the boys.. There will be NO pics!!
Yes, the hockey team have a webpage http://www.mifredhawks.com/ ..

Welcome back!!

Cheerleading, hockey ... is there anything you don't do? It sounds very interesting indeed.


Posted by: Princess

Hey hon! Love the new journal! I think you will look great for your cheerleading outfit!!
good luck sweetie!!!


Posted by: kuso

Not even just one tiny little pic????

Nice to c you back around


Posted by: Eggs

Hmm, new journal! Looking forward to hearing how everything is going.

No pics huh? But how are Kuso and I going to give you our expert advice on how your diet/workout is going?

I swear we've gone over this before, about 5 months ago. Its absolutely for your own benifit. You understand where we are coming from dont you?

Okay, I'm making myself sick now. Glad to see you've got a new journal up and you're sounding really good!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Thanx guys for the replys..
Looks like there might not be a Cheerleading season this year though... Our sponsors don't want to renew our contract, they think we are too expensive.. It would be pretty sad.. We have had a lot of fun there over the years.. The squad is very tight and we have an awesome time together.. Oh well, we'll see..

Just came back from a job interview! at THE most exclusive gym around here.. With Spa and everything.. Would work in the reception.. Could be a lot of fun! The interview went really well and I impressed them with my past gym reception skills..
I think I'll here from them soon, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high..

NT, thanks babe.. Well, I like to vary my interests.. But I don't actually PLAY hockey.. But I really enjoy watching!

P, thank you.. I have been trying to catch up with your new journal.. but it is really long already.. Will make an appearance there soon!

Kuso, no.. not even just a tiny pic.. Well, if you're nice you might get one for good behaviour..

Eggs, expert advise huh? Well, first you have to prove your skills as experts by sending me one underwear pic of yourself each.. Then I might think about it..


Posted by: Princess

Hey Girl! I know my journal is long already. I was hoping it would just stay with my meals/ and workouts, occasional chats.. But its seems to be a real chatty place! Which is fine w/ me since I love to Talk! ha!

I hope they sponsor your cheerleading squad. Thats just not fair!
Good luck with getting the job! Sounds like an awesome gym to work for!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Yeah P, I know.. You're one babbly mouth! Love it!

Just hanging around the house today.. Have had 2 more calls and am set up for two more job interviews.. Seem pretty interesting.. We'll see how it goes..
Can't seem to get my diet down real good these days.. It's very frustrating.. I usually don't have any problems with it.. But lately I've been snacking on bread and cookies at least once a day.. it sucks.. Guess I don't have much else to do.. Will get much easier next week when I start working temporarly at my dad's firm..
I so suck..
Workouts have been very good all week though.. Lots of cardio..


Posted by: Princess

Yep I am babbly.. something I need to work on!

Snacking on bread and cookies huh... (psst.. Me tooo...we have had animal crackers in our office since Monday..and each day I have grabbed one, then an hour later, another one, and soooo on! Kinda sad!) Oh well!
Are you working out? I just make myself run more, lol!
Have a good day Jen!

Well....I`ve been behaving myself, but it doesn`t sound like you have


Posted by: Leslie2196

Don't worry about the diet yet girl! You have had a lot going on. Once you get into a routine again the diet will work itself out

The fitness job sounds cool, what are the other two interviews for? Will you still be going to school somewhere local?

KUSO- I think you may have lost your shot at a pic!

LOL....actually, I know she loves it when I`m pornal......Eggs and I figured that out back at MM.com, just after she threatened to put me on her ignore list YES I remember


Posted by: Nike_Girl

P, I'm glad I'm not alone on this one.. We'll improve soon..

Kuso.. I guess I should watch what I say here around here.. Freedom of speech? Nope, KPA (Kusos Pornalising Agency) will come and get you dead or alive..
And about MM, all I remember is a dog with his tail between his legs deleting some inapropriate posts...

Leslie.. Yeah, I know, once I get some more structure to my days it will all be better.. The other two jobs are in sales.. Telemarketing and things like that.. One sounds interesting.. Actually have had 6 persons contacting me already since started looking for a job..
Actually I won't go to school this year.. I'm taking a year between.. It's very common around here and I feel like I should be really motivated to start the "real" studying.. After 12 years of school I'm not..

Will go to bed soon.. Won't even try posting my diet.. Don't even think I remember it all.. Wasn't too bad actually.. Have actually not eaten all my meals.. If cookies doesn't count as a meal..
Come on Jen, straighten up!


Posted by: Princess

girl girl! I know, one day we will be Perfect! LoL!
Your not alone though sista! You will be fine once you start working again! On the weekends when I have lots of time on my hands.. or am I running errands.. my diet always gets messed up.. not bad.. but not great!

psst.. cookies don't count as a meal, unless you put Nat PB on them!!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

P, honey, you're too funny!! If I put pb on my cookies they'll count as a meal! I'll do that sometime.. Not today though, today I'm officially cookie-free!

Just came back from another interview.. This one went great too, I'll be surprised if they don't want me.. *feeling cocky*
The office was all new and I really liked the athmosphere there.. Only young people working, everyone in great spirit..

Am waiting for my chicken to be ready right now.. Have gone too many hours since b-fast.. Will have to stay up late to get all my meals in.. lol..


Posted by: Princess

Hey girl!! Glad to hear your cookie free today!
That office you interviewed at sounds cool.. I hope you get it!
Have a great day~ And a great weekend!!

I think the problem was that my "tail" wasn`t between my own legs

So where is HSBR anyway??

Glad to see you back in the swing of things! If you can work with your Dad, do so until the best opportunity comes! Don't just take a job just to take it. Luckily for you, you can be CHOOSY! So wait for the perfect opportunity, and in the mean time, enjoy your flexible schedule


Posted by: Princess

~~BUMP!~~ Where are ya honey??!!!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Sorry guys.. I've been really busy.. I've been working all week and haven't had much access to the internet.. But I have been a good girl! I have been doing very good with my diet actually!
Weighttraining has been fabulous too, but I have only had about 3 cardio sessions this week, which is a lot less than what I'm used to.. But it feels good! It feels like my ying and yang are balanced again..

Today is cheatday.. Started the morning with 60 min run/jog/powerwalk.. And my usual b-fast.. And a cc cookie.. They do not taste that good any longer.. thank god!
Tonight I plan to drag Rob along to a Vietnameese (spell?) restaurant that some co-workers recomended.. Will probably be a nice cheat meal!

Today I am going to a seminare that my b-friend have arranged for our gyms members.. It a very well known swedish male bodybuilder who is in the Swedish Gladiators show.. Really cool.. I think it'll be lots of fun!

Need to take a shower! Take care all!


Posted by: Princess

Hey hon! I hope that restaurant was yummy!!
How are you today? How was that seminar??


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Ok.. So I haven’t been posting for a while.. Sorry about that.. I have been keeping myself busy.. Am still at my dad’s firm and I’m actually starting to like it.. I think I’ll stay here for a while..
I have been having a cold since the beginning of this week and I haven’t been able to train as I usually do..
I had my first workout this week yesterday.. Shoulders and abs.. Wasn’t a very good workout at all.. I didn’t feel like straining my ody too hard, since I still have a cold.. I know I should just stay out of the gym, but it is impossible!
Will go train something real easy today too..

My diet has been going very good actually.. I don’t brake things down to macros and stuff, but I’ve been eating healthy all week.. I’m so glad I’m getting back to normal again..


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Today’s meals:

Meal 1:
6 eggwhites
1 yolk
0.5 cup oatmeal
flax seeds (for extra fiber..)

Meal 2:
Protein shake
½ large pear

Meal 3:
4-5 oz chicken breast
veggies
2 olives

Meal 4:
1 green apple
(not much of a meal.. Couldn't stand that yucky protein powder once again.. I need to buy a new flavour.. I'm so SICK of this sweet icky strawberry taste.. )


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Sorry Princess.. Forgot to answer your post.. The seminare was GREAT.. Absolutely fantastic.. The guy was very inspirational and I really liked his mindset.. He had walked his own path and done things that he believes in.. He made his own mistakes and found out what worked for him. Never read a book and tried it cause the writer said it worked.. This guy has never measured or weighed his food or calculated calories and macros! NEVER! And his body looks amazing! Totally cut and full.. He has won many titles and he is all natural!
I’ll put up some pics of him later.. Am at work now and can’t really reach them now though…
Rob and I went out to eat with him after the seminare.. (wow, with a celeberty.. Lol) .. To a Thai restaurant.. He was very nice in person as well.. I was very inspired and he helped re arranging my training schedule and stuff.. I so wanted to start hitting it hard this Monday and BOOM, I get ill.. It so sucks.. I will get it right eventually though..
So, what else is new? Hmm, Rob’s going to China again.. *sighs*.. Only for a week this time.. Leaves on Friday the 13th
And my parents are going to Rome on Sunday.. They were supposed to visit me there.. It so sucks that I’m not there when they’ll be there.. But I couldn’t do it.. No regrets, that’s how I have to think..

Am going for lunch soon.. Will go out with my sister and my dad and will get a sallad..


Posted by: Burner02

Hey NG!
Long time, no talk!
Looks like you've been doing great! That must have been awesome to have aprofessional bb tweak your regimen!

I haven't heard from you in a while. How was your trip to iItaly? You did go, didn't you?
Man, I miss Europe!

I really miss the little cofee shops in the small towns....those were great!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey Burner! Yes, it really was long since we talked! How are you my friend?
Yes, I did go to Italy.. But I didn’t stay very long.. Only two weeks.. was supposed to stay for 2 months.. Was very hard for me..
Look it up in ”NG’s Roman challange” if you’re interested.. I miss Rome in a way, I did like the town a lot… But not on my own.. I needed some people trust and feel comfortable with.. I will definately go there soon again.. but NOT alone!

Yes, it really was fun meeting the BB.. Totally.. He gave me so many tips.. And above all a different mindset..

Hope all is well with you!
Take care!


Posted by: Burner02

I'll go with ya!
I think I said some time previous, I didn't make it there while I was stationed in Italy....
Did ya get pics of you in the area? Like the Colloseum?
I always make sure I get a picture taken of me with the historical place I visited.


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Yeah, I did take some pics.. In the Colosseum too in fact.. But I’ve been really lazy, and haven’t developed them yet.. Will try scanning them when I get them though.. Took some of the horrible apartment too.. That will be interesting..

Am so bored at work.. IM really helps here!


Posted by: lina

Hurry up and post some pics so we can look at your pretty face! Are you still working for your pop? Got the same job back? How's cheerleading training going?


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey lina!
Yep, working at pop’s again.. I’m looking for other things to do.. But I’m actually starting to like it here, and I might stay until christmas.. I earn good money here too.. And may come and go as I like.. But if something better comes up I’ll definately take it..
I applied for some telemarketing jobs and were offered some too, but I decided that was nothing I wanted to do.. I don’t want to be that person everyone hates calling.. Applied for a job as a receptionst at a great gym too, but they haven’t contacted me yet.. Will call later this week, but I think someone else got it..

Cheerleading training is actually non-excistent.. Our damn bastard sponsors didn’t renew our contract.. I’m not very upset about it actually. I don’t think I would have loved being at the arena 2-3 nights a week anyway..

Am soon going home!!


Posted by: Burner02

Hey NG-
also about the telemarketing thing, I was talking with a guy here that does it. He told me that if they (the telemarketers) hang up before the victem, er, I mean potential customer, that the telemarketer gets a fifty doller fine.
Plus, everybody hates you for calling them at dinner...even if you have an amazing voice....


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Friday at last!
Had a pretty slow chest-tricep workout today.. Finished it with 30 min walking.. I can’t wait until I can do high intesity cardio again.. But I can still feel my cold.. Tomorrow I think I’ll be ready.. I will make myself ready..

Burner, I know.. Telemarketing sucks and it’s nothing I want to get into.. That’s why I said ”No thank you”..

Today is also cheatday.. Am going out with some girlfriends tonight.. Dinner and such,.. And a day for that have to be a cheat day.. so I switched Saturday to Friday.. Haven’t cheated much yet.. Had oatmeal and protein powder for breakfast.. But had some white bread at the first break.. And I bought a small bag of mints.. But I couldn’t eat them.. They were so sweet and I started to feel sick.. Too sweet,.. Gave them to my sister,, She’s working here now as well.. It’s just temporary, but it’s fun having her here.. I usually don’t see her very much.. I’ll give a second try on getting her started in the gym.. She never works out at all.. And her diet is not good.. But still she is smaller than me.. But her muscles are non-excistent.. But still it can feel pretty frustrating sometimes.. I work like a dog and eat like a uhm.. well.. I have a good diet.. and still, her waist is smaller.. Pretty weird..

I want the minutes to pass faster.. I can hardly wait until I get out of here today.. A nice and lazy weekend is what I need.. With the exeption of workouts though.. They will not be lazy at all..

Ok.. two hours until lunch…


Posted by: Burner02

ya know, we (body builders) are a funny lot: I really do not think most people watch the clock to see if it is meal time yet!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

I know.. But this was probably more of a "Boredom clock check" than anything else.. Probably because it is cheat day and I'm not being very strict! At other times it is definately "Ok, I had my 30%carb, 50% protein, 20% fat an hour ago, 2 hours until 10%carbs, 55% protein, 35% fat” I really don’t think ”normal” people think like that.. Lol


Posted by: Burner02

nope.
pull out a protein shake out around here, and they begin to wonder where the ice cream to accompany it is!


Did you see my post to you in the staying lean thread?

I've been going through a cheating month.....I'm so bad...I cannot kill the damned cravings..and am paying for it!
I had better knock it off, nowthat I am workig at my second job, I'm geting a lot of cute girls coming up and putting their arms around my waist..no need to let them feel my 'handles'!



Posted by: Nike_Girl

A cheating month?!? Burner, what is that about! Get it out of your system! I know what that can be like though.. I had a period of about two weeks when I just was sick of all the Fitness thinking and the food that came along with it.. But then I found a wonderful, very inspirational book and started feeling the fun of it again! Then a couple of weeks later I went to that seminare (the BB this weekend) and I was hooked again!
I think you need to find the aspects you like about it and start again with something new..

Wow, a new job with lots of girls? That sounds nice! What kind of job is that? I don’t think I’ve read anything about it..

And yes, I will def. Take some protein shakes today as well.. If I just wasn’t so SICK of my flavour.. Note to self: ”Buy new protein powder tomorrow”


Posted by: Burner02

I'm a bouncer at the biggest meat market here in this town (night club)

Yeah, A cople bad cheats is ok, you do not really notice it, but keep doing it...things are starting to get a little snug. I'm overall ok....nothing likie cometition dieting, but do ok for normal, but the cardio isn't there. Do not have time to do both cardio and lift. I have to make the concious efort to make the time on of days for the cardio.

I get a different flavor of protein powerder every time. I have four: vanilla, banana, strawbery and chocolate. Not to bad.

Oh, I posted again to tha other thred: Question was: What does the BF do that allows him to travel so much?


Posted by: Burner02

kinda funy: one of the women that I go to the gym with, her daughter is a cocktail waitress at the same club. I asked the mother if she'd hook me up with the daughter. She said NO! You stay away from her! She's too young for you! My response was, 'C'mon...MOM!
NO!
I met her the other night. Wow. Very much cute!
Damn..



Posted by: Nike_Girl

That sounds like a nice job! Meeting a lot of meat! Is it good money?

Yeah, you should really start straightening up.. It’s isn’t really hard actually.. When I go too strict for a while, taking out fruit and everything, I feel deprived and might end up in a cheat mode for a while.. But if I go clean and natural with fruits, I just love it.. Lots of grains, whole foods, nothing processed.. I just love that way of eating and living.. And one cheat day with some limits.. I really start disliking all that icky sweet candy stuff again.. That’s a good step in the right direction!

Yeah, some girls like older guys.. That’s a fact.. I didn’t plan it though.. It just happened,,

Yeah, I need to start changing flavours more often.. But my gym sells it cheaper than the stores and they only have strawberry in Whey.. yuck,,


Posted by: Burner02

money sucks.....only 6.00 per hour. It takes over three days working there to equal what I make in one day here. It does get me out of the house. (most of the people I hang with are married with kids)
and helps me get over my shyness. Yes, believe it or not, I am shy around women. Sometimes I do pretty good, but others, lips sealed air tight. There, I have no pressure to try and pick up on them. I can just walk up and say hi, make small talk for a few moments and press on. And, if in the right way, they come to me!

The other night was kind of funny: I had to stand by a set of doors so nobody would try and sneak in. A girl sitting of to my right tried to get up to go to the bathroom or whatever, but her foot got caught in the chairs and she fell into me, her foot smashing mine. You'd be suprised at how much pressure a 105 poud girl can exact!
So, everytime she'd get up, go to the bathroom, then come back, I'd make a dramatic effort to move my feet out ofher way. It worked, she thought it was funy. Point for me. I actually wan't trying to hit on her, njust friendly flirting to make her not feel bad for CRUSHING my toe!
well, evidentally, her boyfriend didn't like her talking with me, 'cause after a while, he kind od puled her chair over to him so he could hug up and kiss on her.....
Can I help it if I am better looking than him...and have a sense of humor???



Posted by: Nike_Girl

What a good story! I bet the girl was happy she fell in your strong arms.. And I’m sure you’re shyness will be swept away before you know it!
Too bad it doesn’t pay well.. But I’m sure it’s fun.. Girls like bounchers.. Make a girl feel special and let her get in without standing in the line for hours..

Just booked tables at a nice restarant for me and my friends tonight.. And I can’t believe it’s only 20 min until lunch!! YEAY! Thanks for helping me getting through the morning today! It really helped it passing faster! I’m so hngry! Still, you didn’t answer what you’re doing up at this time? What time is it where you are at?


Posted by: Burner02

it is 3:30 am. I work the night shift in a 24 hour operations center.
Well, then we helped each other! I'm down to 1 1/2 hours before I get to go home!

What's the weather like there right now? Cold?
I keep getting the picture of the outside cafes...gawd, I miss those!

I don't work the front. I either get to 'float' the whole club or positioned somewhere within.


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Oh.. Night shift.. I don’t think I could do that.. I can’t sleep during the day..

The weather here in Sweden is actually very nice! It’s been a great summer.. Clear skyes and shining sun.. about 25 degrees celsius.. They say today is the last day of summer.. I don’t want to believe it.. Summer usually don’t last that long here..

Sweden is very different from Italy (I don’t know what other places in Europ e you’ve been), but here are pretty many coffeeshops.. Everything is getting very Americanized here too actually.. I can’t decide on if it’s a good hing or not..

Lunch in 5 mins!!


Posted by: Burner02

I've briefly visited several different countries there.
Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, France, England.
Never for more thana few days at a time.
Paris was nice. I went to Munich for Octoberfest. That was great!

It's been cooler and rainy (we really need that right now) here the past couple days. I think motorcycle weather is comeing to a close...


I would like to visit Sweden......here y'all are all stocked up with beautiful women!
And by seeing your avatar...they are right!
did you get my pm?


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey Burner.. Wow, you’ve travelled some! That’s nice! Rainy.. We could probably use some rain too.. But I don’t want it.. So I don’t complain.. Yes, there are many pretty girls in Sweden! Actually I think the clique is true.. Everywhere you go, there’s a pretty girl! The boys aren’t too bad either.. Not that I look of course…

HEYA NG!~~ You said it perfect right there! I think I was getting irritated w/ the gym last month.. but I know why now.. I was bored working out by myself..and needed someone to challenge me!! Then when I joined my bro's gym.. I am like a NeW chick! All I want to do is go there..weird huh! But I am liking this!

HEY~ How are you feeling today?? Is your cold gohe yet?? I hope it goes away fast!!
~That seminar you attended sounds awesome! That guy...the natural BB sounds so interesting! I bet that was neat eating dinner w/ him! HOW COOL!

HAVE fun with your girlfriends tonight!!!!! Be careful


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Had a good cheat day yesterday.. Had a wonderful dinner with my friends.. We really had a great time!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Parents left for Rome yesterday.. And Rob's still in China.. So it gets a little lonely around the house.. I hate spending the nights alone in our big house.. Thank god for my dog.. His snoring would probably scare away any thief!

Will work chest and tricep and do some cardio tonight.. Leaving work early today.. Am very tired .. Haven't done much work today.. Am sitting in my dad's office, so I'm mostley surfing the net.. Kinda relaxing..

Had an unexpected and unplanned cheat meal yesteday.. I don't know why, it just happened..

Will train shoulders and abs today! Am bringing a friend to the gym today, I'm gonna try getting her started with weights!
Will also do some type of cardio.. don't know what yet though..


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Don't have much fun to tell.. Will have the day off tomorrow, which is great! Am going to sleep longer (went up at 4:30 this morning as well.. ) and do some morning cardio.. Need to go shopping for a new jacket and some nice shoes.. Haven't gone shopping for a long while!

Bf is coming home tonight.. But I won't see him until tomorrow I think.. Will have a nice double date tomorrow with Rob's friend and my sister.. We're trying to get them together! Will be lots of fun!

I can't decide if I'm gonna make friday or saturday a cheat day.. Friday night will be boring without a nice cheat meal on the date.. But I'm gonna spend pretty much all saturday with Rob (at least I planned that.. haven't filled him in yet.. ), and I think I want to cheat some then.. Oh, the decisions one have to make!!

Am leaving work in about 15 mins.. can't wait..


Posted by: Princess

Hey Girl! I bet your glad that Rob is coming home today! Maybe you should have your cheat tomorrow, and do good tonight when all of you go out to eat! Thats cool your trying to hook your sis up with his friend, Good luck!!
That bodystep class you took sounds neat. I think we have something like that at my gym..maybe I will try it sometime!!

Have a great weekend with your sweetie!!!
Take care!


Posted by: lina

Have a good time shopping and with Rob!

Hehe, that double date sounds like fun! Rob's friend is as cute as Rob? Hope it works!

What is kesella? Sounds like Nutella, those nutty / chocolatey spreads... ooops! Shouldn't have mentioned that in your journal!


Posted by: Burner02

Hey NG!
It's not gona be the same here tonight w/out you!


Hope your weekend was a great one! How'd your friend like the weight training?

Ohhh! I luv nutella! it has less fat than reduced fat pb! Grat on a ritz cracker....

Good Morning, NG!
How was the weekend?
Here's a stupid question: Have a good time?

Are you still propped up in your dad's office, or back in your own little cube thing?


Posted by: kuso

EGGS....you still alive??? Was wondering where you`d got to!!!!


Posted by: Burner02

hey....SHE was here...now she's NOT....kuso, did you scare her off...dirty old man?

Now, I'm not going to get my Monday morning Howdy from my favorite Swedish girl!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

P, thanks for checking in! Yeah, it was SO NICE to see Rob again!
Will check your journal later

Wow, lots of replies for me!!

I'll start with lina!

Nope, kesella is nothing like Nutella.. Though I wish it was.. It's sort of a milk product that you can use as sour cream.. The nutritional value per 100g is something like:
19g protein 1g carbs 1g fat.. Tastes good!

Where have you been?? Cheating your butt off, haven't you.??

I was VERY excited about Rob coming back.. don't even try making it look like I wasn't..
The double date was a LOT of fun! I laughed so hard all night..

Make sure to visit me more often!

Burner.. sorry about not being online too often.. I hate to brake it to you... but I have a life..

Hey babe!
Are you feeling better yet? I sure hope so.. Now take it easy and stay out of the gym if the doc tells you to! No "oh well, I'll be alright"- thinking..

Yeah, had a wonderful weekend with my honey.. I'm SO GLAD he's back!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Meal 1:
Special K
sourmilk
Apple
1 oz roast beef
I know, I know..I needed a little change and some carbs..

Meal 2:
proteinshake
small apple

Meal 3:
4-5 oz tuna (not canned! )
veggies

Meal 4:
proteinshake
1/2 small apple

More to come..

Training:
*Weighttraining.. Don't know what I'll do yet.. I am changing up my routine and can't really deside the order yet..
I'm thinking shoulders and abs.. But I want to do legs.. But I probably should do back and bicep.. Did chest and triceps yesterday..
*ANYway, will do some cardio after that... 30 min 1:1 intervals on stepper..
*Bought an awesome boxing bag and some gloves yesterday that I will work with.. I'm so excited, it's really cool! You know when you get that " DAMN, I'm so angry, I want to hit something!!!"-feeling? Well, I do sometimes (more or less depending on what time of the month it is! LOL ), and now I will have something to hit!! Rob's excited about it too, since he thinks he'll se less of the "Ms Bitch" version of me! I'll call it "the PMS bag" from now on!

Will leave work in about 40 min!


Posted by: naturaltan

hey sweetie ... long time no chat. How are ya? A PMS bag .... he he ... is it a bag you have to hang up? I've seen some pretty good bags you fill the bottom with water/sand. I have been thinking about getting on of those.


Posted by: Princess

Hey NG~ I love it.. a PMS bag.. cool!!!! Your going to love that!! I want one at my house (when I get a house)! Matts parents have one and we always play on it!!

Girl, don't worry I AM not going to the gym until the Doc says so! I don't want to rip anything..and that surgery was to painful to have to go through it again!! I am taking it easy! Yesterday I was on my feet too much at work..but my bootie will be glued to this chair a lot longer today!!!

take care babe!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Nt.. Hey there! Nice to see you here! yeah, it's one of those sacks you hang up.. it's pretty heavy.. 40 kg, about 80 pounds, filled with sand.. It's really fun.. worked on it for 30 mins today, s w e a t y!

P, good girl! I'm glad to hear (read ) that you're following doctors orders! I would have to slap you if you didn't! lol
Yeah, you should def. get a bag like mine.. It's a lot of fun.. I have really weak wrists though.. doesn't match the rest of my body.. ..and hurts like sh*t when punching long.. They will get stronger eventually though!
Have a great recovery!


Posted by: Princess

I bet you were sweaty girl!! Those things really help take the frustration away!!!! HAVE FUN!

LoL~ Ya, Yesterday morning you should have slapped me, but I did much better the rest of the night..and today~ and for a long time!
I am on my painkillers right now..lol.. sooo I can't think straight..and My hands are shaky!

Have a great day honey!!


Posted by: Princess

awww man... I missed ya! I was trying to type that while you were still online. Oh well..Have a good night girl!


Posted by: Burner02

NG!
hey...I've got a life too....a small one, but I do have one..I even had a real life date last night too...



Did I get bitched at by the BF?
What does this mean? Am I in trouble?

Ville bara kika in o säga hej... Hej hej...

Tack för igår... Ha de härligt på jobbet...!!!

Din,
HBSR

PMS bag? that's funny. Are you using wrist wraps when you are punching? They've got the regular old fashioned wrap ones, and I think they've got newer ones.

http://store.titleboxing.com/handwraps-guards.html


I bet mmafiter can help you with good wrap info!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey P, yeah.. you just missed me.. *sighs* I was only online for a couple of minutes..
You should probably take it easy with those painkillers.. Shaky hands? I would be scared.. But I'm such a wimp with pills and stuff..

B, no, you're not in trouble.. He didn't write anything about you..
I'm glad you have a life.. How was the date?
Yeah, I could probably use a pair of wrist wraps.. hmm, I'll have to go to the Budo store and look into it.. My wrists are really sore and weird today..
I also did a bad kick which twisted my knee some..


Posted by: Burner02

Hey! good morning!
Wahoo! Not in trouble! (but did he say?)


Definately get wrist support! Today!
I had a snow boarding wipeout two seasons ago, that still plagues my right wrist!

The date was great! We went to dinner, then back to her place to watch Monster's Inc. (I kow, not exactly romantic, but she wanted to watch it)
...and I cannot divulge the rest....


seriously, get those straps before your next beat up the bag session!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

You really think I need straps.. I'm just a wannabe puncher, not a pro or anything..

Glad your date went well! Are you seing her again? I love Monsters Inc!!! I really do, it def is one of my fav movies! It's ADORABLE!! I've seen it like 4 times!


Posted by: Burner02

straps? YES!
If you are punching something...heavy....it won't give. Where do you thik that force is going to go once you make contact with the bag? Your wrist is the weak part of your arm in the punch. You need to strenghten it up; i.e straps!
you can and will do damage to them if you do not protect them.
Do you use a lifting belt when you squat?
Safety, hon.
Besides, you already figured this part out:

"My wrists are really sore and weird today.. "

Have you taken any classes on the correct way to throw a proper punch?
If you are throwing your pnches and hooks with correct form, yo'd also get more out of the workout!


Posted by: Burner02

do you ski / snow board?
how long? Good at it?


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Ok B, you win.. I'll get some straps!
I have taken kickboxing lessons and learnt how to do it properly.. I'm still practising though.. and would probably need some more classes..
Actually, I don't use a belt when squatting.. I tighten my abs and do it with good form.. never felt any pain in my lower back..

Snowboard? Yep, sure do.. I've been doing it a few seasons.. 3 years I think it is.. lots of fun!


Posted by: Burner02

cool! I will be going into my thrid season this year! Do you jump, do tricks?

I do not use my belt unless I am going heavy when squatting. That is the only time I use it. It cracks me up when I see people using belts for EVERYTHING!

Good girl on the straps!
Get some black ones! you'll look that much 'hotter' when doing your workout! On your kickboxing classes you tok, were they actual kickboxing or kickboxing areobics? I am jsut askling, 'cause if real kickboxing, I'd go ask for recommendation on either straps or a bag glove, or both.



Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey.. I've got GLOVES already.. told that way ip in this thread.. That's why I got confused.. should I use straps under the gloves? It was kickboxing aerobic classes.. I learned the basics and that was what I needed..


Posted by: Burner02

Do the gloves have wrist supports?
The gloves will protect your knuckles, but not your wrists if do not have the proper support. I believe you can put the wraps under the gloves as well.
I'd seriously go and ask at a boxing club at lunch today?


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Well alrighty then DAD! No, thanks B, it's very sweet that your looking out for my wrists.. I will look into it.. Won't happen at lunch though.. No boxing club anywhere near here.. would feel kinda stupid too since I feel just like a wannabe.. I would love to learn to fight properly.. I'd love to get into martial arts.. But I'd get very impatient in the beginning, when all they teach are postures and greetings and stuff.. I wanna FIGHT!


Posted by: Burner02

I'd settle for big cousin...not dad....


Mywrist is fuq'd and you do not want to go thru what I am. I haven't had a bicep workout in months.

You're too funy w/the martial arts thing. If you do not want standard arts, go for the kick boxing then. Go kick some ass, girl!
Get in teh ring!


..and...all good fighters NOW, were wanna bes then. Make sense?
thus endith the lesson.



Posted by: Eggs

I'm still alive... barely Just busy with work and life stuff, and trying to keep the 4.0 gpa thingie I've somehow managed so far. No doubt that latest exam will take a bite out of that though in Management class. Oh well.

Sorry I havent been around too much. Nope, havent been cheating. In fact, havent really gained any bad weight. Just got a new house and am looking into home equipment. Just dont feel like traveling to the gym here in the Winter time when its snowing and stuff. Plus, I only have one car for the garage so theres a bit of extra space. Thinking a Bench, some dumbells, some dip bars, pull up bar and somewhere to squat.

PMS Bag, I bet Rob volunteered to buy it for you

I havent actually hit the gym much lately. Mostly due to moving houses, being busy and at work I move around 18,000lbs of boxes individually by hand every day. I kind of like the work, because it gives me time to think... but if my Dad wasnt running the company I'd probably go for something that wasnt quite so menial.

But anyways... life is good and all that. I'm going out with a friend now whome I've known for 8 years. Unfortunately she is finishing up school in another state right now so I'm filling my days up as much as possible. She's really cool, grew up in Europe, and we get along really well.

That reminds me, have to call her. Oh, go skiing for me this winter. Its flat here in Chicago, utterly pathetic.

Eggs


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey Eggie! Nice to see you again! I can tell you have been busy! I recognise how you feel about your job.. It’s the same here at my work.. Dad’s company, not many braincells needed.. I like it though.. My sister is here too and it is nice seeing some more of her.. I took her for a double date with Rob’s friend and Rob last week and they seem to hit it off pretty well.. Really nicew for her, she’s met some nasty guys before.. *frowning*

A new girl? That is so great! I’m so happy for you! Was about time you found someone special! How long have you been dating?

There’s some nasty noice in here right now.. they are drilling in the floor and the whole place is shaking.. I’m at work and I’m sitting in something which feels like a monkey cage.. An office with glass walls, where everyone can see if I’m not working.. So I’m being very discrete.. I’m using word and do some copy and paste work..

School’s going good too? That is wonderful! You seem to have a lot going for you right now! I’m trying to descide what to study next year.. I haven’t looked in to it as much as I need.. Better do that real soon..

My PMS bag is great! No, Rob didn’t suggest it actually.. But he thought it was a great idea ! I can’t imagine why..

Take care my friend! Be sure to visit soon again!

NG


Posted by: Burner02

morning, NG!
Well, this will be the last night to 'hang' with you for a couple months! I'm going to the day shift on Monday!
IO've got this weekend off.

Oh, I talked w/ friend of mine...you cna put the wraps on under your gloves..but wear the wraps!
ok, enough.
Did ya work out yeterday? What? whate are you doing today?

Monkey in a cage, eh? Sounds more like ant under a magnifying glass...



Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey B!

That's nice for you to start working like a regular human again.. And to be awake during the day!

Ok, I will def get the straps this weekend! Thanks for talking to your friend! I'm still sore actually and I really wanted to box yesterday, but my wrists stopped me..
My workouts yesterday was:
*45 min biking before b-fast
*weights: legs (wasn't the hardest workout I've had, but I am sore today)

Today my workouts will be:
*Did 60 min powerwalking before breakfast (at 05:00 AM )
*Will train Shoulders and Abs

Yeah, the ant thing is probably more right.. The monkey thing is a swedish expression..

How are you today?


Posted by: Burner02

I'm good!
with all that hard core cardio, you must have seriously toned legs!

How you can wake up and do cardio...I tried..and failed. Ok, I go to the gym before I go to workon this shift, but I have been up for a couple hours and have eaten. Winter is coming......mornings are cold....and getting motivated to do cardio prior to work, instead of the extra sleep, then into a hot shower....will be hard!

Not as fun, but could you shadow box until your wrists feel better?


Posted by: Burner02

are y'all planning on going to Germany for Octoberfest this year?
There is one here tonight. I am going with some friends for beer and brats, then on to the club to work.

I miss the real one in Munich!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

No.. not going to Germany.. I'd like to go there skiing this winter though.. or Austria or Italy.. We'll see.. Maybe..

Morning cardio isn't too hard.. It was really cold this morning though.. and as I left my bed I really felt like going back.. All you need is a strong willpower! Once I was out I enjoyed it.. But I did long for my breakfast!


Posted by: Burner02

ha!

I did make it skiing once while in Italy. I am ticked at myelf for not going more! I hated doing that stuff by myself, but like this past season, I ended up going 'boarding mostly by myself. Damn, I'm dumb! I seriously doubt I'll ever get back to Europe...especially to 'board!

I cannot wake up even with 3 alarm clocks in the room!

Hey NG!
I had paizza yesterday too.....cheese pizza. It actualy wasn't too bad w/ out any meat on it...
That girl I just started dating is a vegetarian...so I just got the cheese pizza....

How are your wrists doing?


Posted by: Princess

Hey Nike!! Glad you had a great weekend hon!!
Oh yummmy Pizza.. how wierd..I was craving that yesterday.. but I had French Fries instead!

Have a great day honey!


Posted by: Eggs

Hey Nike, sounds like you enjoyed that Pizza Good to hear.

Actually, havent been dating her all that long. Not nearly as long as I should have been...

I'm glad your sister is really enjoying Robs friend. Yep, there is alot of trash out there that its easy to get hurt by, I hope Robs friend treats her well. You like double dating too? I really enjoy going out with my sister and her bf, atleast I know the company is good then and we always have something to talk about.

The old copy and paste routine huh? Haha. Hey, if it works... cant beat it.

Well, what are you interested in? You dont have to declare right away... do you? Or is your University system different over there? I'm going into Business Management, but I'm undeclared still just because I dont feel like boxing myself in any more than I have to. Plus, I only really choose classes that I like anyhow. At this rate it'll take me 10 years to graduate

Hope you have a good week.


Posted by: Nike_Girl

B, yeah.. the pizza sure was good! A vegeterian?? hmm.. ok.. But why does that make you having to eat a non-meat pizza?

P, yeah, I had a great weekend! Are you feeling better yet?

Eggie.. well actually, our system is totally different from yours.. You have to declare it right away.. You deside on one program and you when you finish it you get the degree.. If you change your mind, you quit that program and have to start on a new program right from the beginning.. Kind of sucks, I like your system better..

Yeah, my sister is enjoying Rob's friend.. I think they're seing each other again tonight.. I hope it works out..

I want to hear more about your girlfriend!

Hey NG!
Good morning from here...good evening to you!
I was talkiong w/ my friend about taking some grappling and defense classes, and I think we are going to get his boxing / kickboxing gear out and put it up in his garage and have hime work onmy defenses. I can strike well enough, but I need more help on defense.

Have a great evening!


Posted by: Princess

HEY NG~ Yes I am feeling much better! Thanks for asking! Your meals are looking really good girl!
How is everything else?
Take care sweetie!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey B! That boxing sounds cool! Work on that defense.. Must be required in your night job..
I still haven't bought those wraps yet.. Need to do that soon.. I have some PMS coming up and I need to be prepared!

P, hey honey! I'm so glad you're feeling better! Do you know when you can start working out yet? I hope you won't be forced to wait too long, I know that would make you very frustrated!!
Everything else is pretty good.. Still working at my dad's.. Am actually enjoying it.. Not very hard, fun people ( at least SOME are.. ) and I may leave and arrive when I please!
Am still going to different interviews though.. Got a few job offers from telemarketing companies.. Wasn't interested at all anymore.. Didn't get the Fitnessjob, they wanted someone older with more working experience! I can't understand how competense can be measured by age! Sucks!
Other that that, everything is just great!

Hey NG!

"Hey B! That boxing sounds cool! Work on that defense.. Must be required in your night job.. "
***it would help. I'm thinking my 'Cool Hand Luke' attitude will only get me so far....one of these times, I am going have to go toe to toe with some big guy who can fight....
I posted somewhere else that I almost had a situation where I was alomst in trouble by myself w/out backup against a pretty good sized aggressively drunk guy. Luckily, my sense of humor was enough to difuse that situation, but it could have gone another less than pleasant direction..


Now...you haven't gotten your wraps yet? What...am I gonna have to jump on a plane and fly all the friggin way out to your beautiful country, be surrounded by your fellow hot Swedish women and take yuo by the hand to a sports store tio get those wraps Is that what I am going ot have to do? Is IT?????

I mean we are friends and all...buit that is a bit of a tall order....how 'bout I just hound you till you cave in and get some?
'K? Great.

SOrry to hear you didn't get that job you wanted. Why they wouldn't want a young, fit, attractive and enthusiastic woman working for their is their loss!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hej älskling!
Så du är här! Vad gulligt.. Jag ska bli lite mer aktiv här nu..
Tack för en underbar kväll igår!
Älskar dig..

Kuso.. Yeah.. lol..

B, I haven't bought the wraps yet.. But I've got some non-boxing-wraps that work ok so far..
I'm glad that you're learning to fight properly.. Good for you!

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey Kus! Well, not much is up.. Rob's not here ya know! :lol
( Jen was pornal!! lol)

I just had lunch.. am at home today.. think I'll go fight on my PMS-bag soon..
How's your day? (night?)


Posted by: Burner02

hiya!
pornal jen....?
wow, who woulda thunkit?

I was in 'nice guy' mode the other night after work at the club..or I coulda put a goof hurting on someone...
The bouncers usually walk the waitresses to their cars at teh end of the night, for safety.
After taking a couple girls to their car, I peeled off and was going back to the club, when saw a new girl walking by her self. I went to her and asked if she wanted me to walk her to her car. (She's also pretty cute...wanted to talk with her as well)
So, after she said she was fine, she was parked just around the corner, etc, she saw some guy crossing the street towards us. She looked at him and said,:
"You could hang out just a couple seconds, though.."
This guy, drunk off his ass and a goof 30 pounds lighter than me, shot us a look and semi accused us of fighting or something. Unfortunately, I was still in a good mood and just blew him off and kept talking with the girl...which is actually a priority..


Looking abck...I kinda wished I would have goarded him into a fight....woulda been an easy KO for the ol Burner.....oh well, next time..

have a fun w/ the pms bag!


Posted by: Princess

Hey Jen!! Your meals are looking good!!
That apple sounds great!!! Good invention girlie!!!

Take care!!! & have a great day!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey B.. Nice of the guys to walk the girls to their cars! A guy punching another guy to impress me, wouldn't impress me.. So I think you were better off as the nice guy.. But I don't know, maybe that girl was different.. lol
I'm the kind of girl who gets impressed by guys helping old people cross the street and things like that.. Anything with helping old people actually..

P, Thanks.. Yeah, the apple thing was great! I think I'll make it a regular dessert! I'll go check out your journal later hon!

Am feeling a bit strange today.. I think I'm eating too little.. Need to track today on Fitday to check it out.. I'm doing a bit higher i carbs now.. lower in fat.. That's what I've seen most results with..
I need to cut down, since I know I gained this summer.. Some of it is muscle.. But, some of it is fat and I need it gone.. I need to fit back into my old jeans..
Am eating a lot of fruit (low sugar fruit..) and veggies.. And try to keep the protein high.. Have been out of protein powder for a while and need to buy some new to get the protein up where I want it to be..
Oh well, I'm off to Fitday..

Hi Nike Girl!

I thought I'd drop in and say hello because I haven't talked to you for awhile!

I was reading through your journal and it looks great! Now, if I could only motivate myself to eat strict like that once again especially on the road away!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey David!
If course you can start being strict again!! I guess it's pretty hard on the road.. But you can always make healthy choices!
When are you getting back home!?

I've been back since Thursday but will be leaving on Wednesday. Here, check these threads out in the meantime.

As for the diet thing, I know I can, it's that I was seriously deprived from great food in the northeast for almost 1 1/2 years!

Of course, with your inspiration, I could get the diet ball, rolling.

Take care!

Hey NG!
How was your weekend?
I was talking with my girl this weekend and found outr she has a business trip to Swizterland this November....dang, that's just a hop, skip and a jump from you! I told her to sneak me with...
She is going to get to go snow boarding there while she is there too...lucky girl....
Hope you are doing great!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey Dave, I'll def read up on those links! Love to hear about your trip.. When are you getting back? Well, If you've been all that deprived, then indulge.. It's not for a long time anyway, is it? Maybe cut it down to ONE cheat a day?

B, Hey Bud! I had a nice weekend thank you! Spent a lot of time with my honey, we have so much fun together!
Wow, your girl is going to Switzerland? Cool.. But B, it's not all that close to Sweden.. Stereotype American view of Europe LOL...
I hope she'll have a great time, and tell her to taste the chocolate.. YUM.. How's things going with the two of you? Getting married soon?


Posted by: Princess

Just wanted to say Hi~ Saw you online!!
How are you girlie??? Hope all is great!
Take care~


Posted by: Burner02

married? Moi? I think not. You'll have children before I get married....

"Stereotype American view of Europe LOL..."
**ouch baby. Very, very ouch....

Switzerland is much closer to Sweden that Colorado is to Sweden...


like I said: Hop, skip and jump...either by fast car ...or plane. Real close..



Posted by: Nike_Girl

P, Hey Sweety! That's so nice! Just wrote a reply in your journal! Check it out if you haven't already!

B, afraif of tieing the knot?
Well.. ok, I'll cut you some slack.. Switz is closer to Sweden than Colorado.. But still.. It was a stereotype response, sorry!


Posted by: Princess

HI~ YOUR Meals are looking really good girlie!!
Just wrote ya back in my journal..lol!!
Have a great day!!

NG, remember when I accidentally said that you were in Switz, also? I thought they were the same!

I am back home in Ft. Laud. at the moment and have been back since last Thurday. However, I'm flying out again this Wednesday for another 10 days and then, when I get back, I'm staying put! I definitely have to restart my classes and find a job, also.

I think I'll take your advice on the cheat thing. I'm starting to like Tuna and scrod again, so I think I'll be back on track very soon.

As for the trip, in those threads mention before, you'll see that I got pictures of Deeann and I (as promised) as she's getting ready to appear at the Olympia behind one of the booths etc.

I swear, when I went to workout with Deeann, I had the best workout that I long needed for the past month! What an inspiration!

Lastly, I relooked your meal plans and it is quite impressive! I think that is enough motivation and I will start up again, real soon! Thanks, NG!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

P, thanks! I'll go check your journal out soon!

David, yeah.. I get that Switzerland/Sweden thing a lot.. lol.. I don't get it.. You guys are so dumb. LOL.. Like I would ever mix up Nevada and New York..

Oh, so you're bacl home, nice! Going away soon again? I wish I could get around some too.. Life is getting pretty boring here.. But I still have Rome in fresh memory, so I should probably not go alone.. I started thinking of going to college in the states instead of in Sweden today.. But I don't think I could do it.. so far away from the people I love.. hmm.. oh well, we'll see what happens.. I always had this dream of going to college in New York.. Since I was there 3 years ago.. I loved it..

Oh yeah, I saw the pics of you and DeAnn! That girl has got an amazing bod! I BET you were inspired!
