Can definitely feel the effects of eating crap yesterday. It was my daughters first birthday party so I wanted to have cake with her. It didn't sit well with either one of us. But we had a ton of fun!



Posted by: hikerchick

I took my measurements this morning which I am not going to post. I weighed myself too, that was 130. I'm quite okay with that, since I am 5' 5 1/2". I need to come up with some different specific goals other than a six-pack. Strength goals maybe. I'd like to be able to bench press my weight.



Posted by: Jenny

My weekend was great, had my daughters birthday party. She won't be one until 10/26/03 but my husband won't be here then so we celebrated early. It was fun! She has sooo many toys now, it's crazy!

How was yours? Did you get lots of studying in?



Posted by: hikerchick

Posted by: shortstuff

Hey sweet meals hottie hiker

I did unfortunately have to work, which I normally don't on weekends and I hated every minute of it cause I knew he was here by himself. Otherwise, it was tons of friends and family and like 5 hours together alone. I know

Man that is a huge party for your daughter but hey you had a good time and I am sure you did.



Posted by: Jenny

Hey Shelley

That sounds like quite a party! I bet it was a lot of fun You need to put some pic up of your daughter, or at least email me one! Cause I bet she is the cutest little thing

My weekend was relaxed and nice. Did get some school work in, but I'm took a little break too

Okay, I'll a little. That yoghurt is not supposed to be in a sugarfree diet Missy! How do you make your pancakes? I make mine with 7 whites, 1 yolk, 1/2 cup of oatmeal and sweetner. I love them



Posted by: hikerchick

ss - ah, you're honey is here! did I understand that correctly? That is sooo sweet - how long is he here for?



Posted by: hikerchick

Jenny, you are completely right. I really need to hear things like this. The yogurt is gone so, no more. Thank you! Since I had some more yogurt this morning tomorrow will be day one of no sugar!

I will definitely post a picture of my beautiful genius child! I need to upload her pics from the camera anyway. I'll do that today.

I make my pancakes with 3 egg whites, a scoop of vanilla protein powder, and 1 T. ground flax. They are yummy! Yours sound good too, I will try them soon.



Posted by: hikerchick

Okay, here's the first one.



Posted by: hikerchick

This is from last week.



Posted by: shortstuff

Ok Riley is soooooooo adorable. Yeah darren was here ut he left last night A fast and furious visit.

You must have so much fun with her and the dog I think you have it so perfect, the husband, the beautiful child and the gorgeous dog, PERFECT!!!!!



Posted by: hikerchick

Awwww, thanks shortstuff! Thanks so much for saying that. I do have to agree with you, I feel extremely blessed with my life!

Sorry Darren was here for so short of a time I need to go catch up on your journal and see what's going on with you! Your comp must be right around the corner!?



Posted by: shortstuff

Yeah it should be, I am not feeling up to the task right now, have been in the dumps all day. Poor darren has had to deal with me crying a few nights about it, and he has no idea what to say to make me feel better



Posted by: hikerchick

what's the matter babe? are you on super low carbs? that always does it to me. big hugs!



Posted by: shortstuff

no, well i am but it is just that I don't feel I am anywhere near where I need to be but I will send pics to my trainer and see what she says.



Posted by: hikerchick

Well, all I can see in your avi is your abs, and they look awesome. If the rest of you looks that good you have nothing to worry about! As long as you have tried your hardest, and it really seems like you have, then you can be really proud of yourself. Knowing you did your very best is a huge accomplishment in itself.



Posted by: shortstuff

You are so sweet babe Thank you so much the good words mean so much to me and hey hottie you are amzing, you look GREAT and youhave a child!@!!!



Posted by: Jenny

Aww, Riley is ADORABLE!! She looks like a cute little troll in the first one and that second pic is just adorable! Thank's for sharing honey!

Those pancakes sound yummy too! I'm not really sure what ground flax is though, is that when the flax seeds are crushed? Er, yeah, I'm a swede, I need to have things explained to me sometimes

I'll be watching



Posted by: hikerchick

Thanks shortstuff, that is so nice to hear, I mean it. I took my dog for a walk tonight and I was thinking about what you said and you're so right. I have so much to be thankful for in my life and I think I have been taking it for granted. Sometimes I need to be hit over the head with the truth to actually see it. Thank you again.



Posted by: hikerchick

LOL Jenny, she does have a kind of "elfish" thing going on. She's like a cute little imp.

Yeah, ground flax is the seeds ground up. It's really good. Kind of nutty. I put it on cottage cheese or in my oatmeal sometimes.

And you are so right about the yogurt. So tomorrow will be day one of no sugar. I want to do this right and I appreciate you keeping an eye on me! I feel like my nutrition has been so off lately and I am tired of it. When I am eating well, the longer I do it, the easier it is. I need to remember that in these first few days/weeks again. I have to make the commitment to myself. Just Do It, right?



Posted by: Jenny

That's right Hiker, Just Do It! Those are words to live by
Don't worry about the slacking, there's been a lot of stress with hubby leaving! Just take it up today and keep that up
There's this onling competition I think I'm joining, would be fun if you do too Check it out: http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...332#post411332

Posted by: shortstuff

Hey Stacey did you know that while you ovulate because your body is working harder then normal your hunger increases due to your bodies increase in metabolism???? See and chocolate is actually good in moderation, like two nibbles or so, while during your period due to endorphins it releases. little things you learn I learned that in my chem class.



Posted by: hikerchick

You gotta love being able to justify eating chocolate.

morning HC



Posted by: Stacey

Hey HC!!

Awesome workout woman!!!!!!



Posted by: hikerchick

good morning shorty! You are cracking me up with this delicious food you are eating! I love it! Hearing about you eating it saves me from having to do it.
Whenever I do this it just makes me that much more motivated to get started again so I'd just enjoy it now! It seemed like you were really needing a break anyway.



Posted by: hikerchick

Hi NT!! Thanks for visiting my humble little journal. Don't be a stranger!



Posted by: hikerchick

Hey Stace! Thanks for the comment about my workouts, I have really been working out hard lately. I should post what I actually do but right now I'm not writing any of that down. I'm really looking forward to doing the competition on here, I need a good kick in the arse!



Posted by: shortstuff

I am so excited too Hiker, as long as you promise not to laugh at my pics!!!!!



Posted by: hikerchick

You need to promise me the same thing! It's a deal. I really don't want to post my pictures. It WILL motivate me though.....



Posted by: Jenny

Hey Hiker!
I'm a little scared about the comp too. Posting measurments and all and bikini pics

Yesterdays meals looked good, but cals low
You might want to reconsider the banana, it had quite a bit of sugar in it. At least for me it causes cravings for other stuff

Hope you're having a good day! I'm supposed to study now but I got a headache just thinking of it





Posted by: hikerchick

Hey Jenny! Oh no! There's just no way I'm doing bikini pics! Please tell me you're kidding! I guess I'll feel better knowing we're all in this together. I need to do my pictures I guess before I get anymore lean and fit!!

I had the banana right after my workout so I think it's okay. Thanks for looking out for me though.

about studying!!

Yoohoo Jenny Jenny! Okay, I think you were right about the bananas! I know what I need to be eating, why do I keep fighting it??



Posted by: shortstuff

WHat are you doing up so late missy??? Ok it is official I think we should do coffee or something.........just to say hello and meet and say hello to riley and your cute puppy.



Posted by: hikerchick

Shorty! You were up late too! Okay, now It's 5:30 and I am awake too early! Did not sleep well last night at all. I had the scariest dream of murder! don't remember much of it now but it was scary

I would love to meet you for coffee! That would be a blast. No Krispy Kremes though! and I don't drink coffee so can I have water instead or maybe a tazo or chai?



Posted by: shortstuff

Oh that sounds like fun, I love the chai tea's or the tazo's but I have learned to like coffee with enough splenda in it I don't know what the heck I am doing up, oh wait I have school LOL



Posted by: Stacey



Hope you have a great day!!



Posted by: Jenny

Aww, that's not fair, I wanna meet for coffee too
Why don't you all take a flight to Washington in November and we can meet for coffee there!

Shelley, I think we're supposed to post bikini pics C'mon, you can do it! I'm scared about taking my measurments, my hips are so wide

Have a great day! I'm going to do the studying I didn't do yesterday now



Posted by: shortstuff

No they don't have to be pics, go look at my pics, they look awful so no laughing, You all know what I have been eating, but they can just be like that too.

Jeny I wish I could, but I am so broke!!! I can't even afford to see darren right now

Don't make me come over there missy! Your pictures look great, I don't know what you're complaining about! I know, I know, it's all relative. We all want to improve ourselves no matter how we actually look. Guess that's why we're on this website. Anywho, YEAH!! I'll do my pics like yours, no problem. I'll get them done today if I have time.



Posted by: hikerchick

Jenny, Washington state or D.C.?? if state then no problem. Otherwise.....say hi to the pres for us.



Posted by: Jenny

Er, DC



Posted by: hikerchick

Bleh! Okay, my pictures are up and I am officially mortified.uke: I can't believe what having a baby has done to my body. Aaaaahhh! Okay, I'm over it. She was/is totally worth it and everyone has to start somewhere right? And I am starting right here, right now. Good lord, if looking at those doesn't motivate me to get my butt moving nothing will!!



Posted by: Jenny

What are you talking about? Really Shell (that's your new nickname cause you came out of your shell and posted pics ), you look real good! Continue this and you'll be fabulous!
I see some nice triceps and a good back And gotta love the smilie
Okay, I'll post pics tomorrow or saturday



Posted by: hikerchick

Thank you so much Jen, that is really very sweet of you. We are hardest on ourselves, I guess. I am getting excited about this contest now let me tell ya although I need a little more motivation than every three months. I may take pictures on the first of every month for myself.



Posted by: shortstuff

Posted by: Stacey

ummmmmm......are you talking to me?



Posted by: hikerchick

Okay, not logging my meals today just because I wanted a day off before starting the competition. I did workout though: 30 minutes of pilates, and a one hour hike - this was great! Food was pretty good too, despite the morning donuts which were clearly the fault of shorty! Anyway, I'm over them. Nothing tastes as good as my six pack is going to look!! Although don't be too hard on me if I can't get a six pack. I'd be happy with a four pack. I have a shorter torso so I don't know if there's room for six in there!



Posted by: shortstuff

OK my dear you re going to look reaking AWESOME and I posted new pics and I look AWFUL!!! Oh well thsat is what i get LOL



Posted by: hikerchick

Posted by: shortstuff

You are soooooo sweet, that is so what i needed right now, bad day.



Posted by: hikerchick

Sorry you had a bad day shorty, hope today is better. It is Saturday, after all.



Posted by: hikerchick

Okay, peeps, I'm not going to post in here anymore. Thanks to anyone who followed along with me on this and thanks especially to people who gave me feedback or just said hello. That is most appreciated.

I don't feel like I made much progress since the beginning of this journal (except making some new friends ) so I'm glad to leave it behind and start fresh.

Come visit my new journal. I'm going to be training hard and eating clean! and please feel free to offer suggestions or just say "hey hiker"
