I think it's fun.. Used to be an instructor!

Hi NG!

I had to comment on the spinning. I L-O-V-E Spinning! I have a real cool instructor (s) that place some wild @ss music! The room setting is dark with a big disco ball and light beams that are programmed by the instructor during the hour and 10 min session. Freakin' Awesome!

I get the best cardio workout with that and playing full court Basketball!

Sorry to intervene but NG, I know how you feel contemplating a call back and knowing the main person is going away the next day!!!!

Stay positive!!! BTW, it's going to SNOW tomorrow, Saturday & Sunday!!!

All I know is that, it better be clear from New York to Chicago for my flight on Monday morning. I don't care about the cold as much but the SNOW has got to GO!

Your Diet looks great! I'm getting ready to be re-motivated for Ft. Lauderdale! (Clean dieting and hard workouts!!!!!)

TTYS!!!!

Posted by: Burner02

it's snowing here now! just sporatic flurries, really...but SNOW!

Don't worry, NG- you will get it!

Was thinking of you yesterday. I was watching CNN and saw that Europe went through a big wind storm or something severe? I do not think it got all the way to Sweden, but just the same. Did you get to see footge of that volcano erupt? I forget where in Italy that is....

Posted by: Jenny

Hey people!
Guess what? I GOT IT!!

Not that I was ever worried..

Dave.. I'm sorry you'll get snow.. BUT you are going back to Florida real soon.. and you'll get a lot of sun.. you bastard.. lol
I was actually there once around this time of year.. Got chased by that "Mitch" hurricane.. Scared the shit out of me..

But I wouldn't mind some nicer weather.. it so SUCKS here right now.. Maybe I should go working somewhere warm when I get my PT-license... hmmm.. after all it is a world-wide-license..

hmm, I like keeping that thought for while..

Rob would have to go with me though.. lol

B, hey, good seeing you again.. yeah, it is pretty windy here right now.. The storm did reach us, but it wasn't as strong when it came.. kept me up that night though.. I guess biking to work is out of the question..

Yeah Kus.. that's better.. but I think he was only kidding.. If he wasn't, I'll just tell him what a good husband and father you are!!!

and you'll let him know how often I complain about missing him and stuff..
j/k, don't worry buddy, he's a "jellous- no, not happening"- type of person..

Posted by: Stacey

I'm sooo HAPPY for you NG!!!!!! Your going to be an awesome PT!!!!!
Good Luck honey!!

Posted by: Eggs

Hey NG, I'm excited for you! That PT sounds like a whole lot of fun, I'm sure you'll love it.

As to HBSR scaring Kuso away... I'm a little scared too. Anybody that uses that many smileys in his post must have a knife behind his back or something along those lines.

Hey, dont stab me... I'm just the messenger.

Oh, I hope the classes go well NG, tell us about them when you start.

Posted by: Jenny

Thanx P! I'm happy too!

I'm kinda nervous though.. need to start learning all those latin words for bones and muscles NOW.. otherwise I'll never pass that test.. Will buy some big posters of all the muscles and bones (you know those sceleton posters you often find in gyms) to put up (one at home and one at work), so I see it everyday and learn it bit by bit..

Hey Eggie! Thanks buddy, I think I'll love it too! THE swedish nutrition guru (writer to a lot of books, read them all!!) will be my TEACHER.. So cool!

Nahh, HBSR don't have many knifes.. but you never know..

He wouldn't hurt a fly ... but he is known to crack a lot of Eggs..

If soooo...Happy Halloween!!!
Sorry your hon is leaving tomorrow..I know that sucks!!!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Les and P! Thanx girls!

Les, I've wanted it for a long time.. Though I think I'll be the youngest one there.. lol.. I'm kinda used to that though..

P, yeah, I really need those posters.. Went to my local poster-store and they didn't have any.. sucky..
About Halloween, well, the swedish original way of celebrating it was just to honour the dead and but candles and things at the cementeries.. called Allhelgona afton ("All saints evening") and Allahelgona dag ("all saints day" )..
.. But now we have, as every other country

, become pretty americanized and some celebrate it like you do.. But it's not very widely spread, no knocks on my door yesterday.. But there are always a lot of costumeparties going on this time of year.. Not going to any this year though..

and my hands are all dry, I HATE that..

I know, I'm such a whiner.. but I have a right to.. BF is on the other side of the planet.. sitting on a train outside HongKong..

It SUCKS!

I think I need to update with some new pics.. long time ago..

I just need a tan.. I'm SO WHITE.. don't like that at all..

Posted by: Stacey

Hey Ng!
My hands get super dry in the winter too! I use vitamin E lotion, and it seems to help a lot!!! Give it a try!

Girl I am so white to! I had to buy new makeup this weekend b/c my face was to dark..lol! Can't have that!!!
Oh~ This is Your journal..whine away!!!

Hope you have a better night!!!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Stace!
Thanx... I just might try vitamin E-lotion.. When the winter gets here, it'll be worse, so I might need it..

And I actually plan on going tanning today.. or tonight.. I need some colour.. I wish they could come up with a tanning bed that wouldn't risk you skin cancer.. I always feel so bad going tanning..

I actually did have a better night, thank you.. But my shoulder and abs workout really sucked.. I forgot my hair ribbon and my training gloves.. that pretty much pissed me off.. lol

Take care babe!

I know what ya mean about feeling bad going tanning..I do to!! I have gone probably 15 times since I have been married... and I use to go every day!!!!
I need some color to girl~ I do go to the Mystic tanning thing before a big weekend! Its safe..I hope!

Anyway ~ I am glad you had a better night girl!!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Stace!
Thanks.. but I'm kinds scared of all that fat.. I'm just experimenting today.. we'll see how it goes..

Yeah.. I know what you mean about tanning almost everyday.. When I did the cheerleading at the hockey games, I tanned like twice a week.. not good..

Have only done it like 2 times since the beginning of the summer..
What's mystic tanning?

Another thing not introduced to my country I guess.. lol

Thanks for popping in babe!

Posted by: Jenny

I've booked my flight and hotel for my PT course..
Will stay with a girl I met at the prep-course.. She has the biggest implants I've EVER seen.. and she has done something to her lips and face.. lol.. But she is really sweet and I think we'll get along just fine.. It's nice to have someone while going there..

I talked to the owner of my favourite gym today about starting up my PT thing there.. They were very interested and I will pay mothly to be able to train my clients there!
And, I've got my first client!!

He's a professional golfer.. Very young, I think younger than me and desperately skinny!

I haven't met him yet, but I think it'll be great..
I've already started studying.. I know the main bones now and all the positions (weird latin names.. ).. I want to be as prepared as I can be!

Hey NG!

Congratulations on your first client!

I think you'll do great!!!

Just out of curiousity, how does the gym come up with the PT fees. By percentage of your overall clients or flat rate fee monthly. Ours is a flat fee of $400 monthly.

I'm back from the freezing cold now and sweating in the beautiful heat!

TTYS!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Dave! Thanks!

I won't start training him until January.. I need my license first..

My gym charges about 200$ the first 3-6 months to get you started.. then they raise it to 400$.. I like 200 better..

But I guess it's pretty decent!

Do you have PT as your full time job?

And congrats to getting back to the heat.. I'm so f*ckin jellous!!

Posted by: Stacey

Hey woman!! Aww don't get discouraged about fat!! It will be good for you! I eat a lot of fat!!! Mystic tanning is New here too! Its this machine thing you get into, standing..and it sprays you for 14 seconds on the front, then you turn around, and it sprays you up and down on your back for 14 more seconds..Its like a self tanning spray..but you do not look orange at all, and it last for about 5 days. ITs neat!! And Safe.. and you look like you have been tanning for a month or more!
Maybe u guys will get it soon!
Thats funny about the girl your staying w/ ..with the big implants! Try not to stare!! I know we are GIRLS..But sometimes, its hard! lol!!
Thats great about your gym wanting to hire you!! CONGRATS!!!

Have a great evening!!!

Well, as I was explaining to the GF that $400 isn't that much as long as the clients are still there etc. I figured if you train 4 clients a day/5 times a week at $30 + an hour, then, the $400 isn't that bad but on the other hand... no clients and $400= poverty!

I was secretely training people and had an "in" with the manager and he didn't care. I only had two clients and they came 6 times a week for 2 months. But, I have stopped since I started traveling etc. One of my clients I ended up getting him a job in Atlanta so, I lost him. As for the girl, she was temporary and I won't really have time to train them, along with myself and go to school. Something had to give....

Posted by: Eggs

Hey NG - Your first client and all huh? Well, the $400 isnt cheap, but with a few clients I think you'll do just fine. Good luck with your diet. Hey, some guys like girls who are white in the winter... the cold gives their cheeks a nice pink tint and... you get the point. Plus, its a nice break from being constantly bronze.

Anyways, good luck on your memorization!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Stace..
Oh! I've heard about that spray thing! I really want to try that! I hope it gets here soon.. I do doubt it though.. Sweden is sweden..

Yeah, it is pretty funny about that girl with the huuuuge implants.. I actually saw her on a swedish talkshow (kinda like a not so freaky Ricki Lake show), where her friend took her there to tell her that she thought that she should stop doing so much plastic surgery!!

It was so funny.. And I hope I won't hate her guts after a few days.. But I think I'll be ok, she is kinda nice!

Dave, that "in" deal sounds good.. Not happening here though..

The normal price for a PT here is about 50$ (tax included).. A bit more expensive I guess.. It will probably take some time to get 4 clients a day 5 days a week though.. Have any good tips to reach new clients.? Maybe there's something I haven't thought of

Eggs, hey buddy!
Yeah, I know!! My first client!!

Maybe I'll make him the new Tiger Woods!

And I know it's ok to be white, I just don't like it.. And that pink tint is pretty easy to fake.. It's called blush.. When I get really cold my nose gets all red, is that pretty too?

Posted by: Jenny

AAOWWW.. my legs hurt SO BAD from my leg workout yesterday..

I dread going to the bathroom (long way there and problems getting seated ..), but I'm drinking so much water (3 liters by 10:30 AM..), I need to go all the time..

Oh, the problems in life....

Posted by: Robboe

Hey Jen

Looks decent.

Are you going with bi-weekly carb ups?

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Rob!
Decent? well, good!

Uhm, yeah, I think I'll go for bi-weekly carb ups.. The active carb g wil be 47g after all the meals today (planned the rest of 'em..).. But I'm a bit unsure, is that low enough for bi-weekly?

Posted by: Robboe

It's not gonna make that much difference.

People usually say keep the carbs below 20g if you do bi-weekly carb ups, but since the oivernight fast is enough to deplete liver glycogen quite a bit, it's not gonna make a significant difference.

Besides, on NHE, the daily intake for carbs is between 30-60g. I just tell people to keep them below 50g to give them a more precise figure

Posted by: Jenny

Ok.. sounds good.. I've heard that you store about 1800 cals as glucose though.. and I doubt that would be that much depleted over a night..

I'm going for bi-weekly.. What you say makes a lot of sense..

Tactic # 1

Well, actually I never advertised that I would train anyone but where I worked as a bouncer it just came so naturally to strike up a conversation about BB/Fitness. When you socialize, generally, "good people" (not the drunks or the clowns) will ask what your interest and hobbies are etc.

Start thinking about your own friend's or people you run in to day to day that don't workout.

That is where I will tell them that I work out religiously, explain my goals and how I achieved them (shown on my website). Then, to fully execute their interest, I will then tell them how much "fun" I have working out. Also, tell them that it's exciting to see all the hotbods across america especially South Florida and the South Florida events. Which this does not limit to just BB/Fitness but to outdoor Volleyball, swimming etc.

In a nutshell, I tell them that BB/Fitness is a lifestyle that improves the health and mind. Then, in turn, they'll ask me for guidance in which I will gladly accept!

I would then give them 5 sessions free that has to be done consecutively and the results from that is they feel instantly great after a week and hire you thereafter, because they want that continued improvement/results.

Hope this helps! Basically again, I never sell and idea but when those ask, "how do I improve my health", "What do you do for fun" right there, hook, line and sinker!

QUOTE: "It is those on the outside looking in are the ones who want to be a part of anything but for one reason or another, needs someone to help them take that first step!"

PS. I also truly believe, based on your appearance, knowledge and your own successes, those who come into the gym seeking a personal trainer, you won't be overlooked. You'll probably be their first choice!

I met a girl, personal trainer, in my latest travels in the New York area who went from 180 lbs. to 125 lbs in 4 years which also translates to 15 inch waist to a 4 inch waist. She has posted her before and after pictures at the gym and believe me, I was chatting away with ladies in need of trainers and I asked them based on the board, who they most likely would consider and they picked her. So, I struck up a conversation with this personal trainer and she is the "sweetest" girl you could ever meet, very knowledgeable etc. The 2 keys of her success. 1) Do what you teach 2) Self presentation is a must! (personality and physical well being)

TTYS!

I follow the words of the master

450g ?

The liver alone holds between 60-120g depending on your size.

Muscles potentially hold in the range of 500-700g, depending on your size.

well.. alrighty then.. all I remember was that the guy who told me (at a seminare) that the body stored about 1800 cals of carbs.. liver or not liver, my brain has lost it..

*note to self: never try to be smart in front of Mr Chicken.. he'll smash you down..

Posted by: Jenny

Will force myself to do some more cardio today... my legs hurt so bad! But I have to get the blood flowing..

I'm thinking of adding morning cardio.. but I don't know wether to add it right now or save it to later for a tweak.. hmm.. I'll see.. maybe some days at least..

Oh Dave, THANK you.. that is very sweet!

The gym will actually help me a lot with PR (not for free of course..

). But those are some good tips! Thank you!

I'm trying to cut some now.. A leaner me would probably attract more clients..

Posted by: Stacey

HEYYYY!! I saw you online and wanted to tell you HI!!!!
Have a great night honey!!!

Posted by: Eggs

You're nose gets red and runs all over the place... ummm, pretty? Well, I do know when to shut up, no comment

Good looking meals!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey P and Eggie..
I must have left before I saw your post Stace.. To bad, would have been fun to chat some..

Eggs, yep, that's me..

well, maybe not the running, or well..

I'll shut up now too..
It was so darn cold here yesterday.. When I got inside (after like 10mins outside) my cheeks were all stiff and I could hardly smile.. I hate this.. and more is coming..

I would like to have "tank top and jeans" weather all the time.. Not too hot and humid, just sunny.. and you are not too cold wearing a tank top.. How cold does it get in your city?

Posted by: kuso

Hey bab....um.....Ms Nike_Girl

Whats happening?

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Kus..

That was a close call.. lol
Well.. not much.. Still at work.. will leave in about 2 hours.. Back and biceps workout tonight.. I really feel like hitting it hard today! And I'll get some cardio done!
How about you? No sign of that freaky virus anymore?

Posted by: kuso

It was close

2 hours eh?? Will you spend that on here?

That virus seems to have mutated into the flu

so I had to blow off my back and bi workout last night

I`m upping doses on al vitamins and I`m hoping to make up for it on Saturday.

Posted by: Jenny

Aww.. Kuso.. I'm sorry! So frustrating when you're not able to workout.. But makes you appreciate it so much more when you get back!

I'm such a postive sucker sometimes!

Well of course I will spend the last two hours here, what else would I be doing? working?

Posted by: kuso

Thanks hon ( is that acceptable?

)! It is pretty frustrating :mad Hopefully just another couple of days though til I`m back kicking ass

You have the best job.....dunno why you`d wanna change

Posted by: Jenny

Yeah.. I hope you'll be back i there soon!
The best job? naaah.. Well I guess it's alright.. I shouldn't complain..

But I think being PT will be more fun..

Posted by: kuso

Being a PT will kick ass, but your access will be limited..........very hard choice to make

Posted by: Jenny

Yeah.. I don't know how I'll work that out.. hmm.. Maybe I could by a Palm pilot and surf while the clients are doing their sets..?

Posted by: Burner02

I could just see that...your clients are grunting, groaning, panting away...you are above them laughing at the postings...and just saying...
"Great job! 1 more rep! Push it!"
..and not even watching....

Posted by: kuso

.....and when a client says something funny you say "laugh out loud"

Posted by: Burner02

Posted by: Jenny

yeah.. that would really make me a good PT!

Posted by: Burner02

well, just get your clients hooked onto IM.com and they will understand...
"oh, it is Kuso......"

Posted by: Jenny

yeah.. exactly..

Posted by: Jenny

SHIT, I've almost got 1000 post!

Am I becoming a post whore??

The Gym better!

What does that $400 go towards?!? They make your business cards and do the promo boards and you'll probably be the hottest gal on it!

What type of people are in your gym? Hardcore or mixture. If it's a majority of gals/women in their who are turned off by freaky shredded gals, be careful, don't shread yourself too much or you'll turn that group off.

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Dave!

You're flattering me way to much!

Well, I don't think I'll have to worry about shreadding myself too much..

I DO need a cut right now! The gym where I'm gonna bring my clients is kind of a "health gym", not hardcore at all. Which is good, cause I'll probably mostley be training "normal"

people..
I'll basicly be the only female PT there.. I think there is one more, but she's pretty old I think.. So that's a good thing! Personal Training isn't as big here as in the states btw..

The gym were I WORK OUT though, there are some hardcore and some not.. It's a good mix.. I'm basicly the only girl there though..

So yeah, I do think people notice me there.. lol.. There are some other girls who go there (I'm the only girl there 9 times out of 10.. ), but they don't really "workout" as per my definition.. I will advertise as a PT there too, and I don't have to pay anything to train clients there, since it is sort of an association and not owned by anyone.. No one has a winning interest.. An my boyftriend is on the board..

I pay about 55$ a year to train there and it has everthing you need..

But it's not a very "nice" environment and I don't think it would be a good market for a PT.. But I will def try there too!

Posted by: Burner02

hey..I thought you left! You are at home now? How is your gym not a nice environment?

So...the only girl in your gym...do all the guys line up to offer to spot you? I can see that happening...

Posted by: Jenny

I had a great back workout today! I'll try to write all my workouts here from now on..

*2 min warm-up, rowing machine..
Back:
*Lat pulldown 4 sets of 8-10, 70-80lbs (35-40 kg)

*Back extensions (Good Mornings), 4 sets of 8-10, 0-10lbs (0-5kg)

Bicep:
*Barbell curl, 2 sets of 12, barbell

Yep.. at home..

About spotting.. well it happens.. mostly new people there, who haven't seen me work out with my boyfriend.. He's big, so people who have seen me with him usually don't bother me..

BF and I usually work out together too..

The most annoying line I ever got, was from this out of shape guy, giving me pointers and trying to sound like he knew what he was talking about.. lol

"The most annoying line I ever got, was from this out of shape guy, giving me pointers and trying to sound like he knew what he was talking about.. lol "
***that's funny!
I remember going into a GNC once, some big dough boy was working the counter. I was asking about some products and he was like: "I take this and this and this...."
All I could think was" And you look Sooooo good...." You actually have to WORK OUT!

Yeah, I could see how havingf a big BF would deter most guys...

Posted by: Burner02

so...what did you say to that annoying guy? Nice or tell him that you are a PT?

I had a great back-workout last night.. I can so feel it today.. I’m extremly sore..

..
So, Friday at last.. I’m so god damn tired, and I don’t have much work to do, so time does not exactly fly by.. I’m actually writing this in Word, to copy and paste later.. The internet connection is off at the entire company for some reason.. That makes the day even more boring..

If it was monday, I'd probably kill myself..

Rob’s been away for a week now..

.. I miss him so incredibly much.. 1 and a half week left until he gets back.. that’s a lot..

I feel so tired and worn out right now I just want to snuggle up with him.. Lying in his arms..

Rob, COME BACK NOW, you hear?!?

guess it won’t work..

Don’t have much planned this weekend.. which I really look forward to.. I so don’t feel like partying.. I feel like going to bed pretty early.. I’ve not been sleeping well this week and I def need to catch up..

Will probably meet some girlfriends for a movie or something..

Posted by: Jenny

Had a great workout again today.. Used a thermo.. could be a reason..

*Warm up: biking to gym ( I love my mountainbike), 15 mins

*Chest: All in chilos, (for pounds x2.2)
Dumbell bench press, 3 sets of 8, 30kg
Incline dbl bench press, 3 sets of 8, 30kg
Pec Deck, 3 sets of 8, 45 kg (or maybe that's an american brand..

.. that would make it 45lbs.. )
Incline cable lying flye, 3 sets of 8, 10kg <- I suck at those

Tricep:
Pushdowns, 4 sets of 8, 20kg
Lying triceps extension, 4 sets of 8, bar+ 5kg
Assisted triceps dip, 3 sets of 8-10

Hey NT! (gee, I'm popular today..

Nice to see you here! Wazzup?

I just started my strict routine and did spinning this morning, NG. Man, did I pour sweat! Got my weight workout in 3 hours!!!

See, you ARE a good inspiration!

Posted by: Jenny

Good job Dave!

I'm proud of you! I wish I was teaching it.. When I was an instructor, I used to walk around in class during the hardest song, yelling to them to work harder (a few inches from their face..lol) ..

Was a lot of fun.. Man, I should start doing that again!

Posted by: Jenny

Plus.. I didn't have to work so hard on that song..

Yes, my instructor seems to do that, too! She would sit there and start dancing to the coolest-hardest song and walk over to our bikes moving the notches on us! But she is HOT so I don't mind. (plus she's my friend!)

I'm FUQIN PISSED! I really wanted to go spinning today.. And I need the cardio.. and guess what, the class is FULL!!

Now what do I do? It's raining outside, so a run would not be a good idea!..

Posted by: Robboe

Is there not a leisure centre near you with an indoor running track, or indoor basketball hall?

Go run in that.

Or just suck it up and go run in the rain. You'll get wet when you shower afterwards, so who cares?

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Rob..
Nope.. no leisure center near me.. But I could go to my other gym (I have one cardio-class gym and one Weight and cardio machine gym..

) and work some on the stepper.. And I do have a stationary bike at home.. :o

Nah.. I'll take a run.. I think the rain stopped now actually.. Just need the food to sink down some..

Anyways, thanks! Having a nice saturday?

Posted by: Robboe

Not really. I'm sitting here putting off doing work, and the fact that i know it's still there no matter how long i wait is annoying.

I'll hate myself even more when i actually get into the work and realise i would have gotten even more done if i had went and started earlier.

Posted by: Jenny

You suck!

Come on, get started! Can't be that bad..

I've been doing the same with my running.. I really don't want to go..

Posted by: david

Hey NG,

I just did your cardio for you!

85 degrees here in Ft. Lauderdale, today. What a wonderful thing to have the sun and the temp just right in order to exercise and sweat!

BTW, hello!

Posted by: Jenny

Dave, I hate your guts!!

I want sun and heat too...

I actually did my cardio.. 70 min biking in front of a good Dvd..

pretty neat too.. But Florida sounds so much nicer..

I hope you'll have a great saturday!

The diet will last as long as I need it.. I see it more like a lifestyle change.. avoiding carbs.. Don't have any time limits right now.. I'm planning on putting up a web page for my PT thing and would need to have a photo shoot too.. So.. we'll see what happens..

In other words, I'm going to Mango's South Beach and South Beach in general and like always, will be taking pictures of "Beautiful Strangers" as Madonna would say!

In a different way I was saying how beautiful and warm it is in South Beach!!! Because I know NG loves hearing it!

Posted by: Jenny

Thanks Dave!

I'm 174cm.. I could translate it to feet, but I would probably screw it up..

And oh yeah.. the face was in them originally, but I couldn't "pose" and keep a straight face.. :o and the sun was in my eyes..

will include in after pics, promise!

OK, after finding the conversion of your height, I have you as 5 ft. 7 inches approximately!

So here is my conversion and Kuso and everyone will agree here.

hey NG!
Wow!
Great pics! Don't ya just hate it when everybody around you is eating/drinking crap..and you have to stave off the temptation?

Posted by: lina

hi Jen!

Nice pics!!! You look great and can't wait to see afters!

Sent you an email.... let me know by pm if you got it since I hardly check that account, k?

Great job holding out at your family gathering!

Posted by: Burner02

did she get HER pudding? I haven't gotten MINE yet...

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Lina!

I'll go check it right away. hmm.. just checked.. nothing..

I sent you one earlier today though.. Maybe you haven't checked it..

Actually, it wasn't very hard to stay away from the sweets.. As long as I've made a commitment, it's not that hard.. I will not cheat.. I want my 6pac so bad, and no sweets will keep me back..

(I hope I don't do a major binge later and have to eat my words..

)..

B, thank's!

And about the sweets.. The trick is to avoid it all together and never taste even a tiny bit..

Works for me so far..
Hope you're having a great monday!

Posted by: Burner02

I've eaten twice.....so..so far, so good!
Made my own, Boboli pizza. chicken fajita pizza.....pretty dang tasty if I do say so myself....maybe next time, add some vegies to it..

Ok Your meals look good~very clean. I weigh 150 and only take in 210-220 grams of protein. How much do you weigh? 48g P is alot in one sitting I would definatelty add VEGGIES!! to every meal cept Meal 1 Helps digestion and makes you full. I hope you are doing bi weekly carb ups with such low carbs.....There, my 2 cents

Thanks for helping!

Well, I do weigh around the same.. so I think it will be alright.. I usually don't go as high as close to 220g.. And I know about the 48g..

I need to plan a bit better.. I guess I'll learn eventually..

And I do eat shitloads of veggies..

usually.. I'm such a veggie person..

And yes, I am doing bi-weekly carb-ups.. Have one tonight!

Hey P!

I had a pretty good weekend! Rob's still away.. so I was at home a lot.. Met some friends for movies.. Pretty nice!

Hope you had a good one too!

Posted by: Burner02

What movies did you see?

I rented, The Harvard Man the other night.....
The suckage meter was pinging on that one!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey B..

well.. we watched a TV-show we all like first (not really a movie..) and then..

we saw Harry Potter..

Posted by: Burner02

I just watche dHarry Potter the other day myself.
The girl I am seeing had the second book on her table the last time I was over there, so I opened up and read the first few pages. After I left her place,. I went and bought a copy myself to read. (I figured if we read the sme thing, it would be something else we could do...talk about the book) I ended up reading it in one day....easy read, good story.
Now, just waiting for the movie to come out...

Posted by: lina

Morning NG!

The second Harry Porter movie is coming out Friday! We will go see it probably on Sunday since it will probably be a mob scene opening night!

My son wants to go see it before the end of the weekend ofcourse since probably all his friends will also do the same and he doesn't want to be left out right?

Posted by: naturaltan

Morning NG!!

Posted by: Burner02

).. lol.. That and coffee and an ECA an hour before my workout made it.. uhm.. pretty interesting!

NG,

I love your nickname for her. Pictures of you and "Boob-girl" having coffee would be even greater!

Boob-girl. That is too funny

Have you ever tried yohimibe (low dose) with the ECA stack? This is actually a Clenbuterx ingredient that a lot of people are doing!? That'll make you even more happier all around!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Dave!

Yeah, I know, it's funny... But it feels pretty natural calling her that..

Actually, I haven't tried yohimibe.. What's the diff between that and yohimbine (sp?)..?? or is it the same? maybe it's just me thinking it was called yohimbine..

Yohimbe is the herb.

Yohimbine is the active part of it.

Just like ephedrine is the active part of ephedra.

So, since Yohimbine is the active part, that would be what to look for, right?
So why would I want to go for yohimbe?

Either x amount of yohimbine or y amount of yohimbe with x amount of yohimbine contained.

You'd have to take a lot more, volume wise, of yohimbe to get the same amount of yohimbine.

I think it's 8% standardised.
