New journal -- last time!!

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Hi everyone!!!

Yep, I'm still kickin'....just finished a workout by the way, about to do my stretches.

Eating healthier these days, taking my cholesterol medication, working out a little harder and more tenacious...still trying to get pregnant.

Oh well -- say your prayers for us, maybe this month will be it. Regardless, I'm working out and trying to get healthier, ya know.

Let's see, what's been happening in Fitgirl's world?? Not too much, busier than ever. My boss has me so busy and she's driving me nuts -- as usual. Holidays are approaching and I'm getting busy with Christmas shopping.

I hope everyone is doing very, very well. I've missed you all!
But....nothing keeps me down, and I'm back.....looking to get buffer and better. Any words of encouragement? Any new magic I've missed?

Later
Tammy

Omg-- I couldn't believe my eyes--my long lost friend is back!! Honey I have missed you so much!!!!!!!! Good to have you back!!

Sounds like your doing really well!! I always have you in my prayers--especially with the baby situation!!

Hope to see ya here more often!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Welcome back.

Me thinks you have missed a lot.

Posted by: naturaltan

ummm yeah, what TP said

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Hi everyone!!! Yeah, I'm back. Apparently I have missed a lot TP, and no one missed me -- except Stacey, you and NT.

Oh well.....you three are all a girl needs.

Let's see, it's Saturday night, November 22 and I'm sitting at home with my laptop, a glass of California White Zin and a movie. I went to my friend's Bacherlorette party tonight and they all headed to LeBare, so I came home. I need some more friends!!! Why don't you guys move to Dallas?

Hubby is out with his friend tonight and I told him not to come home early.

On the fitness front, I've lost a ton of weight since I started my new journal and I'm working out more than ever. Does anyone remember that I told you I was on the HerbaLife program? I SWEAR BY HERBALIFE! I really think it is the best thing out there if you want something to stimulate you.

I started having my own shakes -- Soy milk, fresh strawberries and ice (shakes) in the mornings and then a healthy lunch, a snack and a healthy dinner. I'll have to get some new pictures taken and post them.

Well, I hope everyone is doing great!! Hope to hear from you all again soon.

much love
Fitgirl

Posted by: naturaltan

7:00am -- Starbucks, reduced fat egg nog latte. I did not have my shake this morning, I was running late.
9:25 -- bottled water
(You know, I'm really not hungry this morning. I'm sure I'll eat an early lunch). I have to go to Gold's this afternoon at lunch anyway, I'm joining at Gold's Gym.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. Is everyone staying home or going somewhere for Thanksgiving?

Posted by: naturaltan

Us Canadians are doing our normal weekend activities.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Um, you need to do some searchs for the dozen or so threads on Vegas. In sum, a bunch of us were there recently, NT went hog wild, and there are a number of pics posted.

Posted by: Stacey

I know I have missed you a bunch!~!!

How are those eggnog starbucks??? sounds good!!

I want some info on the vitamins your popping!!!

We are staying in town for Thanksgiving (matts Bday too)--going to both grandmas! What are you doing??? Will you have the boys?

Posted by: Stacey

Don't worry FG-- I didn't make it to Vegas either--- but I know they all had a blast!!!

Posted by: butterfly

OMG I've missed you!!!! Seriously!!!!!

Fade and I have decided not to decide whether or not to try for a baby... remember what happened the last two times

Two of my best friends (who I also work with) are pregnant, one is having a c-section Dec. 30 -- a boy -- and the other is due Jan 6th -- a girl -- It's hard sometimes and I know you totally understand.

So glad to hear about the weight lose! But you were already so little I bet you look soo HOT!!!

Posted by: Stacey

ISN'T IT WONDERFUL TO HAVE OUR GOOD FRIEND BACK HERE BUTTERFLY?!!!

November 26 --
Slept in this morning, did not get up to work out. Took my Total Control and went off to work.
Got coffee, took my Formula 2 and my Cell Activator.

We are getting off at Noon today, so I am going to go to lunch after I leave the office. I plan to have chicken breast and some fresh fruit. Hey Stacey and Butterfly - are there Snookie's in Houston or surrounding areas? That's where I'm eating lunch today. If you guys can find one, I suggest having lunch or dinner there - they have such great food and it's healthy-person friendly!!!!

Okay, gotta do some work

before I wrap up at 12.
Will post more later, I'm sure.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE

Posted by: Stacey

HEY Sweetie!!!

Happy Wednesday! Your so lucky you get to leave early today-- I think I'll be here till 5pm.

Saturday, Nov. 29 --
The weekend has been pretty good to me! I ate turkey and turkey and turkey and turkey and turkey.....okay, a little dressing and gravy, but I had more turkey than you'd see on a turkey farm!!

You know what they say about protein -- protein, protein, protein...more, more, more!!

Going to dinner tonight for hubby's bday and I'll be having fajitas, no tortillas and no quac or sour cream.
Hope everyone's weekend is really, really good!
Fitgirl

Posted by: Burner02

you skipped..the guac?

When is his B-day? Mine is on Monday..I will be...29..again...for the 4th time..

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Yes I skipped the quac, Burner....can you believe that? I had just beef and chicken and overly-grilled onions. It was very good.
Then this afternoon when the gym opened, I went and had a good workout. Going to get to bed early tonight so that I can get up and make it to the gym by 6 in the morning.

Tomorrow is arms!! Should be really good. I'm so looking forward to losing more fat and buying new swim suits this year.

How was your Thanksgiving? My hubby's birthday was on the 27th -- Thanksgiving. He was also 29...for the 7th time. He had a great birthday.

Have a great night. Talk to you guys tomorrow.

Okay, now that I'm feeling back to normal (was an upper respiratory infection Stacey...not the flu, thank God I wasn't contagious.)

I'm back to eating well and can't wait for 4:30 to roll around so I can go to the gym. I have got to get some cardio in today!

Let's see, what did I have in the way of food today???
Breakfast: black coffee, pineapple, honey due melon and half a bagel. (Really didn't need the bagel, but I got it anyway

)

Lunch: grilled chicken and 1/2 c. white rice and water.

Dinner -- I don't know yet, I'll update this portion later on.

How is everyone doing? Hope you all are wonderful. Dvlmn, you never responded to my PM -- what's up, you don't love me anymore?

Stacey, hope you're doing well sweetie. Email me or PM me and update me.

TP -- I miss you sweetie!

Posted by: Stacey

Hey cutie!
I'm glad your feeling better!! Thats great!!

Your meals look super yummy!!
I'm doing okay--thanks for asking. Today I have been married for a year and 9 Months- WoW!!!!!

Hope you have a fabulous day darling!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Thurs., Dec. 11th -- Can you believe it!

Let's see...this morning:
I had my HerbaLife Total Control and a Soy Latte at about 8am
9:45am -- 1 cup of Green Tea, 2 eggs and half a tortilla w/ salsa and my HerbaLife Cell Activator and Vitamin. I'm about to have my first bottle of water.
Lunch -- I do not know yet, what lunch will consist of, but I plan to make it very healthy and very good. Yesterday, my boss took us out to lunch and I had a great Cobb Chicken Salad -- yuuummmyyy

I do not know what will be for my afternoon snack or if I will even have one. Nor do I know what is for dinner tonight. Maybe some grilled chicken.
I do know I am working out this afternoon. I'll probably leave the office right about 4:00 and go to the gym.

I hope everyone is doing great today....Stacey, I see you online, I'll go try to find you.

Posted by: Stacey

HEY! I didn't pack my lunch today either-- & have no idea what I'm going to eat

Something healthy though!!

Hope your having a greaaaaaaaaaat day

Posted by: Stacey

Hello?!

hope everythings okay darling!

Stay warm

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Hey Stacey.....yep, everything is okay over here. Just busy, busy, busy!!!!

How about you? Any luck finding a new job or any prospects?
Me? Still looking.

About to go do a little shopping and get some lunch. I don't know what yet, but it will be healthy, I'll tell you that. Maybe I'll get a chicken salad or something like that. Maybe some soup. It's pretty cold here in Dallas.

Talk to you later
Loves

Posted by: Stacey

There you are!!

Glad your doing good!!! I hear ya on it being cold!! Its a nice change though--but I think I like 70 degree weather much better!

Nope, no job yet, no prospects. I had an interview last week--but it was for sales and I didn't have what they needed... sooo I'm looking now in my field-mortgage! (Was trying to get out of it)

If I had money--or a sugardaddy-- I would go to Physical Therapy school!!!!!

Oh well.

Take care cutie!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Yep, if I had a sugar daddy, I'd get into some sort of physical rehab/therapy or even nutrition.

Kinda nice here today. A little windy, but about 65 degrees for the high.

I slept really good last night and woke up late, so no gym this morning. Maybe I can go this afternoon.

Soy Latte and a Granola bar this morning. I haven't been really hungry for the last couple of days.

That HerbaLife is really working girl. Have you checked into it yet?

Will update later on lunch and snacks?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Posted by: Stacey

Hey darling!!
I'm glad someone slept good last night--- For some reason I didn't sleep ALL night-- Now I am exhausted!

Oh Well!!

Thats great that the herbalife is working-- I would love to try it-- but I'm tight on money right now.

Too bad we can't win the lottery-- we could go to the same PT school!!!

Hope you have a great day too cutie!!

Posted by: Stacey

Hey darling!!! I hope that you, Brad and your boys have a wonderful Christmas!!!

Stay warm & take care!

Happy Holidays!!

December 30

How was everyone's Christmas? Mine was great, got lots of great gifts including a new leather jacket, new leather boots, a bottle of Dom and a great big check from my wonderful mother in law.

Diet and exercise are going great. About to go to bed so I can get up and go to the gym in the morning. Still trying to have get preggo -- I am so happy for Butterfly. I wish I was pregnant with her.

We've been eating lots of ham and turkey and veggies since Christmas around here. So I know the diet is off to a good start for the new year!

Hope everyone is doing great. I'll get some pictures from Christmas uploaded soon.

Take care
Tammy

December 31 -- last day of 2003

I had a soy latte this morning and 2 eggs with half of a tortilla.
Not too bad considering I took my HerbaLife and my vitamins.

10:06 -- just finished my first bottle of water. About to go get another and throw a green tea bag in there.

Lunch -- if I'm still here or not will decide what I have for lunch.

I think I am doing sooooo well!!

I'm about to go get my first bottle of water for the day -- well, after I finish my coffee that is.

I hope everyone is doing well and you're going to have a wonderful New Year. Any plans for an exciting New Year's Eve party??? I'm living vicariously through everyone tonight. No parties for me, hubby's working late and then we're going to dinner with my brother and sister and law.
Should be fun though.

Posted by: Stacey

Hey honey!! Sounds like your doing awesome!!!! Your food looks real good

I wish I was pregnant w/ Ann also

I'm sorry your not yet...I know thats hard!

Don't ya love mother in laws?? Mine always gives the best gifts!

We have no plans yet tonight?!! Have No Clue what to do!! Matts been in Missouri since the day after Christmas & he comes home tonight!!

I hope you have a wonderful New Years!!!

Posted by: Stacey

Geez I hope we get to leave work sooN!!

If I don't talk to you-Happy New Year honey!!!

Posted by: naturaltan

the Missus said she would try and go out ... so we'll see how far she makes it.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I've made my New Year Resolutions -- save money and lose weight!

I'm going to limit the use on my credit card and start paying cash, if I don't have cash, I won't buy it.
I'm going to get with a trainer at the gym and lose some weight. I have a goal to reach by my anniversary in March. I plan to stick with it too. I've gained way too much weight lately.

So on that note -- here's the beginning log

Breakfast 8:00 -- 1/2 cup of Malt-O-Meal and black coffee
Snack 10:00 -- 1 handful of regular dry roasted peanuts and my first bottle of water.
Lunch 12:00 -- I brought a Zone meal--Chicken Gumbo. It has 380 Calories, 2.5g Fat, 42g Carbs and 28g Protein. I plan to have water with my lunch as I am also limiting the number of Caffeine Free Diet Cokes that I had last year too.
Snack 3:00 -- I brought a Zone Perfect protein bar, Lemon Yogurt flavored I'm also having 1/2 of a Diet, Caffeine Free Coke.....only half!!!
Dinner 8:00 tonight -- I had a wild field greens salad with grilled chicken breast on top.

Workout tonight -- 6:15, 20 minutes on treadmill with 6 minutes of incline walking lunges on the treadmill -- 1.5 speed, increasing incline every 2 minutes. It was great!!

I also signed up for 6 weeks of personal training with a trainer. My first (and foremost) goal is to lose some body fat. The long term goal, maybe by the Fall, is to maybe do my first comp. My trainer said he could definitely get me there....I'll keep everyone abreast of my results and logs.

Hope everyone had a great New Year and is having an even better 2004!!!

Posted by: naturaltan

hey FB ... I forget why the March deadline for losing weight?

How was the New Years? Did you go out or do anything?

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Hey NT, the deadline for March is just the goal I've imposed on myself. No specific reason except for the fact that it is my anniversary too.

I figured that's about 12 weeks and I can certainly obtain my goals by then, don't you think?? I do too.

New Years was great. We went to dinner with my brother and sister and law and then out to a bar for some drinks. A bunch of our friends ended up coming up there too and we drank way toooo much!! But that's okay, it was the last time for that until I've gotten some much needed results at my goal time.
What did you do??

Posted by: naturaltan

We went to a club. For many years it's been where my wife likes to go when she gets to choose. This time was no different up until about 1:30 when a fight broke out. And you know how those go when you have a young crowd, alcohol and close quarters. Anyways, it was bad enough that they had to call the police and they in turn had to use peppe spray to calm the crowd down. At first I thought it was funny how so many people get involved. But as the crowd got nearer to the raised platform we were on, I knew that it might get ugly if I had to get involved to protect my wife. There aren't many things that would set me off, but someone hitting her because of the melay would do it.

We did plan prior to that night to go there for her bday, but after that, we changed venues. We went to a club where the age limit was a bit higher and had a fantastic time.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Okay -- I went back and edited my log for today. Not only did I spend way too much time at the gym this afternoon, but I also ate later than I had originally planned, so I had to revise.

Talk to everyone tomorrow.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

1-6-04
Okay -- for those of you who read my edited journal entry last night and know that I finally did it........I signed with a personal trainer!!! I'm also going to try to work very, very hard with my trainer and we're going to get me ready for a comp.

Stacey, aren't you getting ready for a comp sometime soon too?? Let's do it together!! (Alright guys, get your minds out of the gutter...)

Okay here's my food for the day.
Breakfast 8:30 -- 1/2 cup of oatmeal and a Soy Latte, which I'm drinking now!!!
Snack 10:00 -- 1 handful of almonds (got rid of the peanuts) 1 bottle of water
Lunch 12:00 -- changed, decided to have a grilled chicken salad
Snack 3:00 -- dont know yet, I'm going to the supplement shop at lunch.
Dinner 7:00 -- don't know yet, will be healthy I'm sure.

Where's TP? I really need him to take a look at my food. Am I eating too much? Am I eating wrong? If anyone sees him around, can you please ask him to visit me? I would really appreciate it.
More later peeps
Have a great day

Posted by: Stacey

Hey cutiepie--but thats a good thing you were working out for a long time--- theres days when I work out for 2 hours--- and don't mean to... or were you socializing??

Is It cold up there??? Its in the 30s here!!!!!!!

Have a great day!!

Posted by: Stacey

Women its not April!!! Look at the date you put up there- goober

Posted by: Stacey

Congrats on getting a trainer and on wanting to do a comp! Thats great news!! No I'm not really training for a comp-- although if there is one here in houston in July/August I may do it. I am training to do a photoshoot--so that I can send my pics off to possibly model-- or at least get noticed!

My photoshoot will hopefully be in April.

I can help you with your meals if you like--??~

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Okay, okay, okay....I changed the date on my journal. See what the change of a year does to one person??? LOL

Ahhh, I understand. I knew you were wanting to work towards being a model, but I thought I read somewhere that you wanted to do a comp....maybe I'm mistaken. I think that's great that you are trying to get noticed. Don't forget to send your pics up here to the Campbell Agency. They're here in Dallas. You might even have to make a day trip...darnit!!!

Yep, it's cold up here, when I got in this morning, the temp in my car said it was 25 degrees.....buuurrrrr

Sure, I'd love your help with my meals!!! Thanks a big bunch, you're awesome

Posted by: Stacey

Hey there --date looks much better--hahaha!

Goober!!
Yes I do want to do a comp--just don't know if I will or not!

Is the Campbell Agency really good?? That sounds like a great idea!!!!

Burrrrrrrrr 25-- I think it was 30 degrees at my house (I live WAY outside of houston--gets colder in the country

oh-- I'm not a pro now with meals--but I can get ya in the right direction.

You may want to ask Dvlmn or Jodi Or Leslie for PRO help also!!

But I would love to help!!

I do have a question-- what is IN the Zone Lunch meal your eating?? Veggies?? Its Not enough fat.- you should eat 10-15grams of fat- And lower carbs.

I suggest bringing in a bowl of lettuce to work, with some baked/grilled/boiled chicken or I know you like turkey--and have some fishoil tablets. They are great to keep in your desk at work--and use for fat all day.

The Zone bars are not a very good snack--check out the sugar on them. I know I grab them for breakfast a lot--but when I start to CUT I will not do it. They are so yummy though. I get chocolate penut. Yum.

A better snack would be a fruit (like a medium apple, or 3 or 4 strawberries )
with a protein shake.

Try for 25-30grams of protein with each meal and snack. Thats why I bring shakes to work- so much easier.

Do you have the Vitamin shoppe there in dallas??? I get their Chocolate Whey vitamin shoppe brand-- It cost $18 and its GREAT!! I'm hooked on it. Mixing it with water taste really good. I have 2 girls here at work hooked on them too.

They do have a website also if you need to order it. Or I can mail you a sample if you like.

Posted by: Stacey

ohhh and those soy lattes are gonna have to go soon to sweetie-- maybe allow yourself one or two a week.

Snack 3:00 -- I brought another Zone Perfect Lemon Yogurt Protein Bar
Dinner -- don't know yet, will be healthy I'm sure.

Where's TP? I really need him to take a look at my food. Am I eating too much? Am I eating wrong? If anyone sees him around, can you please ask him to visit me? I would really appreciate it.
More later peeps
Have a great day

Drop the Soy Latte-- and have 4-5 eggwhites and one yolk with your oatmeal.

What is in the Zone Perfect Meal? Need more fat, less carbs. Hopefully theres veggies in this

For a snack-- try a protein shake with a medium apple, or a few strawberries/blueberries and some fish oil

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I'm so mad....I wrote this whole long book and it didn't go through and I've lost my reply.....

Okay, I'll ditch the soy lattes....maybe have those only once or twice a week. That'll help me save money too anyway.

Stacey, I would love for you to send me a sample of that stuff. I'll PM you my address. I don't know where a Vitamin Shoppe is close to me, but I know we have them here in Dallas, I've seen them around. I do have a supplement shop by my office and have already planned to go over there today at lunch. I am going to get rid of my ZonePerfect Bars too. There is a girl here in my office that likes them and I can give her this one that I brought today. I'll update my journal later after I determine what snack I'll have.

There are veggies, Tofu Crumbles, black beans and seasonings in that ZonePerfect Meal that I was going to have for lunch today. I've decided to switch that too, I'm now going to have a grilled chicken salad for lunch.

Thanks for all of your help Stac...I really appreciate it. Feel free to give me any information you want. Help is the only way we're going to get to reach our goals, right? I'll go see what information I can solicit from Leslie, Jodi and Dvlmn too.....

Posted by: Stacey

SOUNDS GOOD HONEY!! What a great start!!!

I know that Leslie can help you a lot more!

Your right--you will save money only have a soy latte once or twice a week. I get a starbucks white chocolate mocha about every OTHER month. They have sooo much sugar!!!! But I do get them with soy milk & no whip creme!

Your welcome honey.. You can eat what you had planned for today--just start fresh tomorrow!!! I didn't mean for you to give up your food--

SORRY

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh no, don't be sorry!!! YOu know what they say (and I don't even know who "they" are) but they say:

No better time like the present.

Posted by: Stacey

Ya thats true--but don't waste your food honey!!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I'm definitely not wasting it.....I'll save it for another day!!!

Okay, about to go to lunch now. I'm gonna run to the supplement store really quick and then go grab a salad.

Posted by: Stacey

Awesome honey!! Have fun!!!

How true is that ... too many people put it off till tomorrow, the weekend, next Monday. You go and get it done today FG!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Thanks NT....I did go and get it done.

I picked up some supplements and a couple of the Myoplex Carb Sense bars for snacks. I had a nice grilled chicken, wild field green salad and water for lunch.

I'm leaving work at 4:30 today so that I can go to the gym and then my first session is tomorrow morning with my trainer. I'm excited!!!

How are your boys doing???

Posted by: Fitgirl70

The boys are doing great Ann, thanks for asking. We got both of them motorcycles for Christmas and that's all we do every weekend....ride motorcycles. They love it. Brad has a motorcycle too and it is so cute to see all of them riding together.....

Hold on, I'll go see if I can find a pic of them with their bikes at Christmas.....

Posted by: Burner02

what???? You bought the boys motorcycles?!?!?!
Wanna adopt me??

My mom wouldn't allow me to have a motorcycle when I was a kid..I was 15 before I was able to beg/plead..did I mention BEG to buy one?

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Yeah, we bought Brandon, my younges an XR50 and Donnie, my oldest an XR70.....

Here's the picture of Brandon -- he's 8

It was too cool........Oh yeah, the hubby has a bike too. He has a Yamaha 225.

Posted by: naturaltan

pssst ... PM.

Posted by: butterfly

WOW! What awesome presents!!! Are they looking to compete? I have a friend with a 4 yr old that's been riding for a year already. He even got an offer to be sponsored but they turned it down, too much pressure.

My parents got Cory a $1100 paintball gun for his 16th b-day/Christmas present. He's in heaven

Posted by: Stacey

Go FG with the right date--- and you cracked me up when you wrote "Look Ma--no soy latte"

Your meals look much better--- Oh I LOVE chipolte! YUM!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Okay, okay

This pic was taken very long ago. I think it was taken at the end of 2002 or maybe in 2003. But NT reminded me that I didn't have one up and it might be a good starting point since I have these new goals and this new trainer.

Please keep in mind that this pic was taken early in the morning and was too at the beginning stages of training. It's down at the bottom of the page. So scroll down

Stacey, it is officially 1:09 and I'm just now leaving for lunch. I had to take a couple of bites of my bar though and I'm getting a headache, so I'm off to lunch, will log back on when I get back.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Hey NG.....good to see you too!!!

Okay, it's 1:57 and I'm eating lunch now......ahhhh, FOOD -- good stuff!!!

Thanks for the compliment on my hams. You know I told my trainer this morning that my legs and my triceps come up really, really quickly. It will be interesting to see what results I have next month. I'll get a little disposable camera and have my trainer take some pics for me each month.

Posted by: Stacey

Yes Food Is good!!! Yeah girl!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Now it's 3:35 and I'm not hungry and don't want to have my snack. I hate when my schedule is off!!!

Now all I wanna do is lay down and go to sleep!!

Posted by: Stacey

Posted by: Stacey

I Will mail your protein pwd. tomorrow at noon-- I am gonna have to drink my shake I brought for you at 4:30 since I have errands to run after work.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

That's okay girl, that's too funny....

Don't feel bad about using that excuse (lie), I've done it before....

I'm about to leave too actually. I think I'm gonna go home and lie down for a bit before Brad gets home.

Posted by: Stacey

Oh lucky you!!! I am so sleepy right now-- Just had a tiny bite of chocolate!

YUM

1/8/04
6am -- 1 Hydroxycut w/ water before workout
15 minutes on treadmill at 3.5 speed
15 minutes on Precor on Weight Loss Program
Stretch
10 reps on the back extension (yes only 10, Gold's really needs to get a better piece of back extension equipment, their's sucks)
2 sets/12 reps crunches on the ball
8:00am -- 1 cup of oatmeal and 1 egg white w/ a little salt and pepper on it.
10:00am --I was so busy, I didn't get anything except another bottle of water.
11:40 - 2nd serving of Hydroxycut before lunch
12:15 Lunch -- I brought some chicken breast, some wild field greens and some baby carrots, I will also have some water.
3:00 snack -- I think I will just probably have somemore carrots. Depends on how busy I am today. The boss is back in town....
Dinner -- I don't know yet. Will post later.

I hope everyone is doing good today! I'm doing great. I'm so proud of myself for getting up again this morning and going to the gym. I knew I had to get my cardio in and I didn't pay that much money for my trainer, NOT to get my workouts in...ya know?

Posted by: Stacey

Hey honey--workout looks really good!

Go You!!!

Now you need more protein and a fat in your first meal- ONE Eggwhite--girl you need like 4 or 5 (or more)

And Carrots are a good snack, However they are HIGH in GI.

Sorrrrry just My opinion..

I have no room to talk-- I don't eat enough either.

Glad your doing great-- I am so proud of you for getting up on a COLD morning and going to the gym--you rock!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I know I needed more eggs and I thought about it, trust me....I just......could......not.......eat......one....... more........bite!!!! I was stuffed.

I just took my second serving of Hydroxycut and I'm about to heat up my chicken and have my salad!!!! YUM.....YUM

Posted by: Fitgirl70

And don't you worry about giving advice....the more the merrier. I'm lucky to have such wonderful friends to watch out for me.

Posted by: Stacey

ohh I hear ya on being full--eating 5 eggwhites is a lot to me!!

I'm so glad you didn't care that I chimed in!!

This is what it's about .. going when you really don't feel like it. That's what separate those that will succeed, and those that won't. Keep it up FG!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

01-09-04

Thanks NT.....I really needed to hear that.

5:50am -- 1 Hydroxycut with water
6:00am -- FIRST LEG DAY WITH TRAINER!!!
Hacks, Smith bar squats, quarters, leg extensions, 1 leg, alternate ham curls....I'll get all of the specifics from Vic later and post it. He wrote it all down
7:40am -- 1 small 6" tortilla w/ 2 eggs in it and black coffee. I'm about to go grab 2 more egg whites to add more protein.
9:57 Snack -- I just had a small handful of peanuts and I'm about to go grab some carrots. I'm having my 5th bottle of water today.
12:15 Lunch -- I'm having grilled chicken and shrimp from BeniHana grill and I'm eating my salad and meats first. If...only if, I'm still hungry, I'll have a couple bites of steamed rice. I wanted to eat everything else first, cause I know that I probably shouldn't eat the rice at all...so we'll see. I really would've liked to have the fried rice, but it isn't on the list of approved foods right now.
3:26pm Snack -- baby carrots and another bottle of water
Dinner -- we are going to dinner tonight with my brother and sister in law. We'll probably eat mexican food I think. I'm just having fajitas, no tortillas. I'll have one beer and then water the rest of the night.

Stacey, I thought about you through my whole leg workout this morning. I think I actually did enough for the both of us!! It was really hard and heavy. I'll tell you that much.
Gotta run, have tons to do today.....will get back on later.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I swear I could lay down and go to sleep right now. Even after my Hydroxycut and that killer leg workout, I could go to sleep in about 10 seconds, if I could.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I'm getting hungry, and I have no idea what I want for lunch! I should go to Benihana and have some chicken and shrimp with some rice and a salad.....maybe I won't get any rice, come to think of it. Maybe I'll just have double salad.

Where is everyone today???

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Okay, this bottle of water is going down awfully slow....I'm floating.

Plus, I've been so busy this afternoon with errands and stuff.

It's 2:30 though and almost time for my snack. To tell you the truth, I'm not hungry.....I think I've drank so much water, I'm feeling fuller.

Posted by: Stacey

Hey honey!! Your lunch sounds Yummy!!

I have been so busy--sorry I'm not around

Hey honey- good morning! Great workout on saturday- your doing awesome!!!

How are you feeling now that your back into working out again? More energy? I always feel sluggish when I miss workouts. Like today-- haven't worked out since friday night. Can't wait to go tonight!!

Sorry you forgot your lunch!

that stinks!!
I'm meeting my friend at Kroger today-they have a nice salad bar!

Have a great day

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Hey Stac, how are you this morning girly? I'm fantastic....even better knowing now that I've lost 4 pounds. It really feels great to be back in the swing of the workouts. I tend to feel really sluggish and also not focused when I don't workout on a regular basis.

Hey, go back and check out my log (workout) for this morning, I posted it.

Posted by: Stacey

YEAH 4 pounds!!! THATS GREAT GIRL!! CONGRATS!!!

Posted by: Stacey

GREAT WORKOUT!!!!!

And Yeah on the fish oil!!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I'm so excited about the weight loss and that makes me wanna work that much harder.

Thanks for the "yeah" on the fish oil. I saw that out while I was shopping yesterday and decided I probably needed to get that!

Posted by: Stacey

Thats good you got it-- My hair & nails are getting much better now that I use it!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Really, your hair and nails get better with it? I think it might help with my cholesterol too. Hey, does yours have calories? The bottle says that mine have 10 calories per gelcap.

Gotta go update my journal for lunch.

Posted by: naturaltan

Fg ... when are we going to get to see recent pics of the fabulous FG?????

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I'm working on getting fabulous first before I take pics. It will probably be at the end of the month or maybe next month. I really have to lose some more b/f before I take pics.

I don't want anyone seeing my fat ass!!

for certain, my nails and hair have improved without a doubt, more shiny and softer hair! thats just a small benefit from fish oil.

and yes the caps have calories. each 1000mg cap is 1g fat=9 calories.

Cant wait for the new pics

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I was looking through my picture file to download some stuff and here's a picture that I found of me and the loverly hubby in Colorado last Summer. Couldn't remember if I'd posted it or not

Great workout (AGAIN) this morning---

Posted by: naturaltan

I'm good ... a little worried about the wife though. She is having IBS problems. Just before christmas, it got really painful for her. The big pain lasted for several days. Yesterday, she said the pain was as bad if not worse than it was before Christmas. Apparently the doctors tell her there is not much they can do to fix the problem other than to give her pain killers.

Yeah for the pics.

FG,
i saw the pic you linked up; very nice. Although my immediate thoughts were purely lascivious, i also am interested in the bikini. ( i work in a bikini-lifestyle store - ) Is that a coverstyle bikini? it was yellow with red flames or vice versa. send me a pm or answer here, doesn't matter.

keep posting the pics and your workouts! your efforts are being rewarded!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Hey MM, thanks for the compliments. Ya know, I don't know about that Bikini. I got it at a store here in Dallas called By The Water. It was mega expensive though, I'll tell ya that much!!

Oh my Gosh NT, honey if I were you guys, I'd get a second opinion. There is no pain that I know of, except maybe a sprain or something like that, that is fixed "just with pain killers."
There's something seriously wrong and a second opinion would be my only thought. Good luck to you sweetie and to the Mrs. I'll say a prayer for her.

Posted by: naturaltan

We had a friend of the family (who is now our family doctor) recommend she see a gasteral internal specialist. She is waiting to her back when she could get an appointment.

Posted by: Stacey

NT -- Mrs NT is in my prayers also

Took one bite and spit it out, threw the bar away. I'll have to go get some carrots or eggs......yeah, I think I'll go with the eggs, that sounds better!

Posted by: Stacey

Why was your zone perfect bar nasty?? What kind did you have honey!!??

Hey there-- wish I was busy- soooo bored.. but its almost lunch time-- and I can't wait.

Wish it were 5pm too.

Ohhh I was holding a baby- 7weeks old, at my friends wedding--I had the baby a lot during the night--and Matt would actually touch her--too cute.

He also said that if I were to get pregnant then he would be happy. He said he didn't want to start trying (cause he saw my face light up--) But he did say that he would be happy if it happend.

I almost DIED when that came out of his mouth--like c'mon lets go home now..haha

Aunt flo came yesterday-- I was happy though!

Okay, I've updated my workout and my food from today. I was so busy this morning and had to go to my boss' house to fix her computer. I have no idea what happened/what she did with it.

I got a great comment from one of my co-workers today. She said, I was looking really fantastic and so skinny. It was so good to hear. Things like that are my motivation.

Stacey, I can't believe Matt said that!! How wonderful for you honey. I'm excited. What now, do you think you'll try? I think Aunt Flo has almost left my humble abode.....good think too, I'm sick and tired of her being here. I need the "s" word...

Posted by: Stacey

Hey!! Oh thats sooo awesome that your co-worker is noticing your body changing! Yeah! I know that is great motivation!!!!

Girl I don't know what to do--- I SOOOOO Want to stop taking the pill NEXT month--BUT I ALSO really want to do this competition in May!!! ??!!!! I have to see what's more important to me--right now A Baby is winning. I would also need to go get my ovarys checked for my cysts-- See if the Dr. wants to do a surgery on me and clean me out.

Posted by: Stacey

diet looks good! What kind of protein pwd. are you using??
Did you try mine-was it gross?? LoL==a coworker here said it was nasty and I just laughed!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I hear ya about the baby winning the race. Brad knows I want one so bad. He's really good to me too, he knows that if he can give me anything that I want, he will. He wants a baby too though. He's so level headed about it though, makes me wish I was more like him.

He says "we'll try, if it's meant to be, then it will happen." If not, he won't love me any less.

Kinda makes me feel a little like I've failed though, ya know. Oh well, I keep saying my prayers and I know God knows what's in my heart of hearts.

On to a better subject. I think I'm getting ready to take those pics soon. Maybe at the end of this week.

Posted by: Stacey

I hear ya honey!!! I don't know What Matt will do if we can not have a baby??!! Brad's much more level headed thats for sure.
Thats great that he's on your side--sooo great!

Its hard-- I really want to do this comp--but I would love to get pregnant soon to. ??? Help! LoL

Oh awesome-- pics!! I need my bro to take mine!!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I'm using that protein powder that you gave me. I didn't make a shake, I've been adding it to my oatmeal in the mornings. It's pretty good actually!

Posted by: naturaltan

Stacey, you've waited this long, what would another 5 months be? Then you could win a comp and then becme a mommy.

With a plan like that, better tell Matt to get in as many hunting trips as he can now.

FG ... and we're all looking forward to those pics.

Ohh thats cool!!! I will have to try that!

Posted by: Stacey

NT-- VERY TRUE!! But I was doing the Comp. because I needed something really GOOOOD to take my mind off of a baby!

LoL

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I don't remember what brand it was that Stacey sent me. It 's chocolate flavor though. YOu know what I do? I add just a little bit more water to my cup than I normally would. It helps the protein powder to dissolve a little more. It's pretty good actually.

Today was cardio:
5:30am -- wake up, take Hydroxycut, go to gym.
Did 20 minutes on Precor on Interval program, level 2
and 20 minutes on the bike on Manual program, level 2 intensity.
Stretched for 10 minutes.
8:00am -- 1 c. oatmeal w/ 1 scoop protein powder in it, 2 egg whites, 1 cup black coffee, 1 fish oil gelcap.
10:00am -- about 7 almonds and water
12:00pm -- Adkins wrap from Subway. I got just chicken, lettuce, tomato and a little onion on it -- water to drink and 1 fish oil gelcap.
3:00pm -- more water and a little bit of pretzels.
7:00pm -- dinner tonight. I have no idea!

I might make some tilapia or something like that.

I think today might be a little slow.....man I hope so! I'm so tired.

I almost didn't get up to go to the gym this morning, but I knew I had to. I hope everyone is doing great today.

This is the kind of effort that differentiates those that obtain their goals and those that don't, nice work FG - going when you didn't really want to!
