Posted by: ncgirl21

I've been MIA here latley. I only have a computer at work and another lady's broke (who actually needs it to do her job, I don't) so she had to use mine and I've been computer-less , but I've got it back now!!

So, I guess I'll just start posting my diet/workouts like usual. I went to N.Y. last week and ate shitty, but got back on track Thursday (when I got home) and have been doing good ever since .

Monday

M1: 1 scoop protein, 1/2 pack FFSF chocolate pudding, black coffee, 3 tbs. cocoa (I blend all this together with water and ice and it's just like an iced coffee from Starbucks, super yummy )

M2: bag of lettuce (the whole bag ), 2.5 oz. chicken (anyone know how many cals are in this- that's the measure after it's cooked), 1/4 cup FF refried beans, 2 tbs. FF sour cream, 4 tbs. salsa

M3: Myoplex Lite Chocolate Fudge Bar (have know idea how this taste, never had one before but they were on sale so oh well!!)

M4: 1 bag broccoli, 1 bag cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, 4 tbs. terriyaki
** will probably add some egg whites here, need some protein**

M5: 1 scoop vanilla protein, 1/2 pack SF pistachio pudding

WORKOUT HERE: CARDIO AND WEIGHTS (was suppose to do weights this morning but my alarm didn't go off)

M6: HP popcorn

Will post some pictures Wednesday or Thursday, dropped them off yesterday to get developed.

Everything is looking great Andrea! It is great to have you back here at IM, I have been asking Jen where you have been. Hope all is going well, so far things are looking good. Keep up the hard work!



Posted by: ncgirl21

I didn't get to do weights last night, well I did for a minute but I need some lifting gloves because it hurts my hands so I'm going to go pick some up at lunch. Did cardio for 50 minutes last night though .

Tuesday:

M1: 1 scoop chocolate protein, 1/2 FFSF chocolate pudding, 3 tbs. cocoa, black hazlenut coffee- blend away!!!

M2: Myoplex Lite Bar

M3: Broccoli, 1/2 can tuna, mushrooms, onions, 2 tbs. terriyaki

M4: 2 slices light wheat bread, 2 slices turkey breast, FF mayo, lettuce, 1 slice FF cheese, pickle

M5: Cauliflower, 1/2 can tuna, 2 tbs. terriyaki, onions, mushrooms

M6: Protein, 1/2 FFSF pudding, HP popcorn

Cardio, maybe weights- dunno yet!!



Posted by: ncgirl21

Just went and got some lifting gloves. I couldn't find any girls though so I had to get guys size small. But, I tried them on and they'll work okay. They're just not very.............. pretty . So, I'm going to lift tonight, but just don't know what I'll do. I bought a weight bench over the weekend so now I'm able to do all my workouts at home- weights and cardio.

Glad to see you back!!! I wear mens gloves to

JMO, protein seems a little low... Only 1/2C tuna at a time???

Hey Jilly . Glad to see I'm not alone on the gloves thing. Your right about the protein, just figured it out for the day and I'm only slightly over 100 grams. Will have to work on that. Thanks for looking out for me

how did the gloves work tonite hun? (if you used them)

I agree on the protein, bump it up some. and about those carbies.. are you going to have carb ups or cheats?



Posted by: sara

Your SF Pudding w/ protein powder sounds very YuMmY!!!! I Gotta try it!!!



Posted by: Saturday Fever

I can say, with the utmost modesty, that anything SF rules and is delicious.

Hey babe!! The gloves worked fine last night. SOOOOO much better than without them so I don't care anymore what they look like. (But I'd still like to have pink ones )

You know me- I'll cheat!!! But, I'm going to have healthy cheats and control them. I'm thinking I'll go two weeks though from this past Thursday until I have my first one. I love those Crab Ragoon thingies at the Chinese place so I learned how to make them. So, my first cheat will be them, except I'll use FF cream cheese in them, BUT I'll still have to fry them in oil, there's just no getting around that. And for the duck sauce (weird name but so yummy with them) Mikah found me a recipe so I can substitute a lot of the stuff for healthier alternatives and have a semi healthy tasty cheat!! Should I go longer than two weeks for my first cheat, and after that how often should I have a cheat? I don't want to do it to often because I still want to loose some weight, but I also don't want to not do it and get bored and have my weight loss stall. What do you think?

I agree! So how have you been doing latley hun? Did anything ever come of that one girl you went out with?



Posted by: ncgirl21

Did 45 minutes cardio last night-30 on the treadmill, 15 on the bike. Did biceps and chest too

Today!!

Biceps (didn't think I did enough last night), Triceps, little abs

Meals:
M1: Protein, 1/2 SF pudding, 3 cocoa, black coffee, 1/4 FFCC milk, water, ice
M2: 2 slices light wheat bread, 1/2 cup eggies, 1 slice FF cheese, 1 tbs. FF mayo, lettuce
M3: Taco Salad (1 bag lettuce, 1/2 cup FF refried beans, 2/3 cup veggie meat, 2 tbs FFSC, 4 tbs. Salsa
M4: Myoplex Lite Chocolate Fudge Bar
M5: Bag Salad, 1/2 cup eggies, salsa, 2 tbs FFSC
CARDIO HERE
M6: Protein, 1/2 SF pudding, 1/4 cup FFCC milk, HP popcorn

Protein is still a tad bit lower than what I want, going to have to switch things up a bit. I just don't want to give up my popcorn . I get the Healthy Pop popcorn and it is soooooo good.



Posted by: Jill

I make the sf ff pudding but I just use water instead of the milk, and it tastes yummy! Sometimes I eat the powder straight from the box.

Ha ha, I used to do that too! Good meal plan NC, looking forward to following your journal!



Posted by: ncgirl21

I add the FFSF pudding to my shakes and it makes them super thick- just like a milkshake!!



Posted by: greekblondechic

I used to eat soo much FFSF pudding, oh man oh man! Up to a box and a half a day some days.

What flavor popcorn do you get?

I get HP butter flavor or kettle corn. It's super yummy.



Posted by: jfrance

The SF pudding sounds really good. I'll have to try that. I've been mixing 1 scoop protein powder with the Adkins, low carb yogurt drink. It's really good, esp. the Black Cherry, but the drinks are about $2 each

I'd imagine that pudding power and water would be just as good and cost way less...

Yeah, it's only like $.70 a pop, and I only use 1/2 a box at a time, so not to pricey at all.

NC, is that you in your avi or a very lean Marilyn Monroe?

Actually, it's Madonna. I LOVE her body. She's lean but sculpted looking. Here's a better view. That's my goal.



Posted by: greekblondechic

Kettle corn is my favorite How many calories for the whole bag??



Posted by: Saturday Fever

I prefer Andrea to Madonna.

Nothing really came of the girl I was seeing. She's a great person, but there was something missing.

For the butter flavor= 225, Kettle Corn flavor= 250. I figure it's okay after a workout and I don't eat many carbs anyways besides that. It makes me feel like I'm having a lot of food though and it stops the urge to snack mindlessly on other things if I allow myself to have. I figure, the less rules you have- the less rules you break. My friend always tells me that and I've realized that I do better when I think like that. I'm so happy for you about loosing 4 lbs.!!! Your on your way

Oh, thanks sweetie !! I'm sure you'll meet someone far better than her and she'll be a lucky lady .



Posted by: greekblondechic

Yeah I agree! I used to be SOO anal about my meal times, and about every tiny little thing. It's much easier to not be so strict and just wait it out a little longer!

I agree. 100%!!!!!!



Posted by: M.J.H.

Things are looking great Andrea, hang in there, sometimes it's tough getting back into the swing of things.

Good luck achieving your goal body as well---it takes time, but I know you can do it!



Posted by: greekblondechic

I like the avi, but I dont like the big picture because thats..some outfit..lol

She has a gorgeous face tho! And she is a perfect example of feminine muscles!!!!

But, Greeky, whatever is wrong with the outfit in the big picture?

To put what you said in more "guy terms", yes, she certainly is a babe.

Glad the gloves worked hun! Pink would be awesome although I doubt they even make them! You should see ALL the pink stuff I own

Id say for for a cheat once a week.. say a dinner and dessert, something you know that you really like and will satisfy those cravings.

That popcorn sounds yum! I LOVE kettlecorn!! but hun do me a favor, have a little protein when you have it(so its not as high GI).

I talk to you tomorrow hun!



Posted by: ncgirl21

Here's a few pictures from last week when I was visiting my daddy in New York. There's also a pic of my Uncle and my brother. I only get to see them a few times a year and this was the first time that I've seen them since last summer. I plan on posting some bikini shots though to compare to my last ones, I just don't really think my body has changed any since then. My biceps *may* have gotten a tad bit more defined but we'll see. Hopefully I'll have some posted in the next week or so.



Posted by: ncgirl21

Did 50 minutes cardio last night. My hamstrings are SOOOO friggin tight though- I don't know what the deal is. I've not done legs in a while, so Tuesday I was just goofing off cause I was bored and did around 15-20 deadlifts (leg day is on the weekend) and now they hurt!! Oh well, guess that's a good thing????

Thursday

M1: Protein, 1/2 FFSF pudding, 3 cocoa, coffee, water, ice

M2: carmel rice cakes

M3: 1 bag lettuce, 1 can chicken, 1 can mushrooms, 2 tsp. reduced fat parmesean cheese, 1 tbsp. hot sauce

M4: carmel rice cakes (I know this isn't really a meal but I was running super late this morning so it's better than nothing)

M5: 1 bag broccoli, 1 bag cauliflower, 4 tbs. LC terriyaki, 1/2 onion, sliced mushrooms, 1 cup egg whites, 1 tsp. parmesean


CARDIO HERE

M6: HP Popcorn, Protein shake (protein, 1/2 SF pudding, 1/4 FFLC milk)

Hey hun!! I have a TON of pink stuff too. It's my favorite color. I'm having a shake with popcorn tonight while I watch Big Brother. I usually don't get in to those shows, but for some reason I like this one. Talk to you later babes!!!



Posted by: Gadsta

Good work. Remember to stretch [after]your cardio too. Go for a swim today, it always works for me to loosen those tight muscles unless you're working today like me - You've got real strict diet, where the candy bars!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunatly I'm working too!!! I think I will do a really good stretch tonight. Maybe I need a massage. They just feel so tight. No candy bars for me, but I do eat protein bars despite their bad rap! I noticed your in England, I'd love to visit there one day- do you like living there?



Posted by: Jill

You look very pretty in your pics!

You watch big brother too? I do!!!! I hate Nickomis, she thinks she runs the shit. Marvin is funny. Oh, Drew is hot!

I didnt see my new pancakes in your meals???

I don't like the twins- I want Cowboy to win!! I think he could use the money more than the others anyhow. I think Karen's sweet, but she's lost her mind!! Drew- he's VERY hot. I'll be trying your pancakes this weekend- gotta have enough time to cook them. How do you think adding cottage cheese to them would be?

Posted by: Gadsta

Oh you noticed that!? ha.

Yeah it's not too bad over here, not as small and cold as you people across the Atlantic think. lol.

Does depend where you go though, the cities are great for day visits, but the nicer areas are the towns in the countryside. But I got it good though, 1 hour from london, 40 minutes from the coast and in a semi-countryside town!

I'm travelling at the end of the year to Australia, thailand, and then Backpacking form california to Florida, can't wait, will probably keep a journal on this site. I also need to add some pictures to my gallery.

Keep up that diet and lifestyle, the results will be great, i need to stick to a good routine.

Best get back to work 1hr three quarters left, counting the minutes!!!



Posted by: ncgirl21

Ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted to visit England. There's so many beautiful castles over there I'd love to see!!



Posted by: Gadsta

There certainly is, but there's only so much you can enjoy them though after the constant day trips like i got as a kid. I live very near Hever Castle, you may have heard of it, it's crumbled a bit,but still quite a site.

I wanna see the Grand Canyon!

I've been to the grand canyon when I was younger, but from what I remember it was pretty.

i bet it is, can't wait to go! Oh well a few months time. Just noticed that you were 21 just 13 days after me, you starting to feel a little old too?!! lol

Posted by: greekblondechic

Pretty good, except I had a huge 3rd meal, thats what I get for not eating enough at lunch and then starving by the time it was time to eat again! I had.. that caramel light frap, watermelon, a sf fudgesicle, a reduced carb protein bar AND 1/2 c oats, and I am finally like ok I guess i'm full, damn thats a LOT of carbies! Now I have to work out today

Don't sweat that hun- it's a lot better than a lot of other things you could have had and it's not like carbs are evil, you probably needed them!!

Posted by: ncgirl21

You know, it's funny- I never really realized how much I enjoyed "cleaner" eating. Not nessecairly so much the food, just how good I feel on a day to day basis. It's like sure- I still like ice cream and pizza, but it's not something I HAVE to have anymore. The first few days are always the hardest but now I'm like you drink your milkshake and I'll drink my protein shake. I think the key for me was finding suitable substitutions. Oh well, that's my insight for the day! LOL!!



Posted by: ncgirl21

Did 45 minutes of cardio last night- walking. Parked at the high school because I wanted to walk the track and bleachers but there was a JV game going on so I just walked up the hills and stuff around the school. It was nice for a change from my usual cardio. Stretched my hammies to for a good while when I got home last night, feeling a lot better today and ready for my leg day either Saturday or Sunday, not sure which yet though.

Friday Meals:

M1: Iced Coffee (that's my new name for my protein concauction I have everyday)

M2: 2 slices light wheat bread, 1 tbs. FF butter, sprinkle cinnamon, 1/2 cup egg whites, 1 slice FF swiss cheese

M3: 1 bag salad mix, 2/3 cup veggie meat, 2 tbs. fat free sour cream, 4 tbs. salsa

M4: 2 servings carmel rice cakes (these things are pretty damn good!! )

M5: 1 bag broccoli, 1 bag cauliflower, onions, mushrooms, 1/2 cup egg whites, 4 tbs. terriyaki

M6: HP popcorn, 1 protein, 1/2 SF pudding mix


*Does anyone know who got evicted last night on Big Brother?*



Posted by: atherjen

Natalie got evicted!! HELL YEAH! although I want cowboy gone too! he's a suckass!!

glad hammies are feeling better!

your insight of the day is awesome! Your so right!!!!

I have no idea what you guys are talking about, lol.

But anyway, what kind of iced coffee are you talking about? It sounds good, what is the recipe?

Combine the following in a blender:
refrigerated coffee (I use hazlenut and make it the night before)
6 or so ice cubes
water
1 scoop chocolate protein
1/2 box FFSF chocolate pudding
3 tbs. cocoa
Blend Away!!



Posted by: Jill

That recipe sound good, Im gonna try it!

I know what you mean about enjoying "cleaner" eating. I used to have quite a bit of fast food and pizza, but now my system just can't handle much at all. I really can't remember the last time I had french fries, and I don't miss them. The grease in pizza will give me an upset stomach if I have more than a slice or two.

I guess you lose your resistance to bad foods...

Weekend has been good so far!!! Didn't work out Friday or Saturday, but I'm going to today. Food's been clean, Friday was a little low, around 1300 but Saturday I got to 1500. Today's going good, so far:

M1: Vanilla Protein, 1 box V. FFSF pudding mix, coffee
M2: 1 oz. chicken, 1 serving rice cakes, 3 baby carrotts
M3: salad, 2.5 tbs. LLC ranch, 1/2 cup beans, salsa
M4: Protein, 1 box white chocolate FFSF pudding mix, 1/2 protein bar
M5: 1 oz. chicken, 1 bag broccoli, 3/4 bag cauliflower, 1/2 onion, mushrooms, 4 tbs. terriyaki
M6: HP Popcorn

So, today looks to be around 1500 so I'm happy with that. Trying to stay right around there. Gotta do legs and cardio in a bit!!

Jen- can't find the bananna, send me some if you don't care! Luvs Ya!

Hey Jen!! Yeah, I was at my mom's. Stayed there for a good bit this weekend, you know how it goes!!

Decided to make yesterday a higher calorie day. Probably ended up around 2300 or so, but I did cardio for an hour so I doubt I lost anything but surely I didn't gain. I figure I need one high day a week, but I didn't "cheat." I just ate more because if I cheat so early on I think it would trigger a binge. Who knows????

M2: 1 CC yogurt, 1/2 cup fiber one cereal

I was on the Kraft website, we dont have sf ff banana puddin in Canada either. Just wondering-what are the macros for 1 box there?? Im wondering if they are the same here.

When I go to Vegas in Oct Im bringing a whole suitcase home of different flavors of jello!

Have a great day!

Actually, right now I'm not worrying *too* much about protein, carbs, etc. I'm just trying to concentrate on my calories. I'm trying to stay around 1500, so before I drop them I'll play around with my macros when I plateau.

Dependeing on the flavor, a whole box of FFSF pudding has between 100- 140 calories. I WANT the bannana one so bad though and I can't find it !! When are you going to Vegas?



Posted by: Jill

My boxes are the same

Yes-Im with ya on the banana. Banana flavored 'stuff' is my fav anything!

Steve and I are going to Vegas Oct 28 to watch the Olympia! and shop

Good going on the cals thing. I focus on that too-higher P, mod C, low F

I tried really hard to like Cottage Cheese, but I just can't eat it. I was eating a bowl, but I could only eat about 1/20th of a teaspoon at a time. I had eaten for 20 minutes, and finished about 3 spoonfulls.
More power to you. I'm glad you like it.

jFrance, try this (my best friend hates cottage cheese too so I told her to try this and she loves it)

1/2 to 1c cottage cheese
splenda
crystal light in your favorite flavour
smidgen of water

blend in blender until thick and smooth...ummmmm, just like a thick shake and you can't tell it was cottage cheese (or erasers in cream sauce as some think they look like)

Good luck with that Jen, I'm so excited for you..is this your very first apartment?



Posted by: ncgirl21

I just can't imagine not liking cottage cheese. It's one of my favorite foods- I could eat a whole container. Try this: make oatmeal like usual, add 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 tbs. PB, 1/2 cup cottage cheese- mix it all together- it is soooooo good. Because of that right there I can no longer have peanut butter !!! I'm a little piggy!

Thanks Jen!!! Your a doll Have fun apartment hunting! And call later if you can . I love your new avi, your so beautiful babe!!

Velvet, I just may have to try that. I bet it's kind of like cheesecake

Ya, I bet if you added some unflavoured gelatin to it, made a crust out of crushed nuts, you'd have yourself one fine cheesecake!!!!...Oh, and i'm with you, can't have pb in my house...I can't control myself around it

In canada they just started selling reverse Reece' PB cups...the pb is on the outside, choco on the inside, HOW DARE THEY sell that while I'm cutting? The nerve!

Hi Andrea!

I have been away a while but I wanted to pop in and say hi! Every time I start a journal I get sidetracked and give up...lately I am out of focus! But I wanted to come by and read some people's journals for inspiration & motivation - your journal definitely delivers on both.

Is Jen training you, BTW?

Keep up the good work

Off to do 30 minutes of a.m. cardio!

Hey Star!! It's good to see you back, you've been missed greatly!! Hope everything is going good for you! Are you still competiting?

Jen- She's always been a great friend and we talk a lot and she gives me a lot of advice. If I ever compete, she'll definatly be the one I have help with my meals and workouts and what not. A lot of what I've learned though, I've learned from Jen, gotta love her!

Have fun doing your cardio!!



Posted by: Jill

Aj is awesome, she knows evvvvvvvveeeeeeeeerrryyyyyyyyyyytttttttttttttthhhh hhhhhiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggggg!



Posted by: jstar

Awww, I've missed it here too! Good decision getting advice from AJ - she is the woman!!!

No, I am not going to compete until next spring. I've decided to spend the next few months being consistent, establishing good habits and breaking bad ones. In other words not bingeing for emotional reasons..or any reasons for that matter.

Are you thinking of competing?

Meals Today:

M1: Protein iced coffee thingy
M2: 2 slices light bread, 1 tbs. mayo, 1 can tuna
M3: baby carrots (didn't bring enough food today, was going to have this with M2 but instead will have it by itself)
EDIT: add 1 mini HP popcorn bag (90 cals)
M4: 1 cup EW, 2 cans green beans
M5: HP Popcorn, Protein shake w/ FFSF pudding



Posted by: Jill

I made a new meal I KNOW you would like. Blend 3/4C cottage cheese and 1/2 box sf ff jello pudding. (i used chocolate) It taste like chocolate cheese cake, for real.

Can you tell me more about this popcorn? I was craving popcorn last night, and I found a bag of microwave stuff in the pantry-it was the full fat bad stuff. I didnt make it.

BTW, your meals and training are going excellent, congrats!

Hey hun! I've made that before, except I add some PB and then freeze it for a little bit between two LF graham crackers.................. omg- it's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try it!! I buy Healthy Pop popcorn. For the whole bag of butter flavor it's 225 calories and the whole bag of Kettle Korn is 250 calories. I LOVE it!!! It comes in a red box and says Healthy Pop in yellow letters.

Thanks for the congrats- your doing super too!!!

Hi nc

Mmm I love popcorn too do you find that it bloats you at all? I swear I retain more water than the hoover dam

Jilly - I have tried that recipe before too but for some reason I just didn't care for it. I am kinda funny with cottage cheese - I like it but only in salads or by itself or on toast...not with sweet things Maybe I should freeze it or add PB - that always works

EVERYTHING I eat bloats me . I can drink water and get bloated, but the popcorn doesn't bloat me anymore than say....... broccoli or something fibrous. I buy Jolly Time Healthy Pop 94% fat free. For the mini bags (which I just added one to my meals for the day) is 90 calories, 2 fat (no saturated or trans), 23 carbs, 9 fiber, <1 sugar and 3 protein. I guess it's not nessecarily a "clean" food, but as far as I'm concerned it's clean enough. I'm done "dieting," I'm living now, so this is my lifestyle and how I choose to eat now. A lot of people cut a lot of stuff out when they need to drop weight and I'm sure if I ever compete I'll cut a lot out too, but for now I'm eating healthier and working out. Boy, that was a mouth full huh? LOL

I can eat anything as long as it has peanut butter on it . I use to dump cashews or almonds in a jar of peanut butter and microwave some chocolate and mix it all together and eat it just like that. I could easily consume a jar in a day. Oh- to be 14 and have a racing metabolism again!!



Posted by: ncgirl21

Okay, this may be a little silly but.............. just wondering if anyone eats baby food (the fruity ones)? I love mixing it in with my Cream of Wheat or oatmeal. I haven't had it in like two years or so, but the were BOGOF at the grocery store so I bought a bunch.

good girl! moderation and healthy living! (a lot like a recent post in my journal on how I feel too! )

Im touchy on the bloat too, the Zelnorm is working WONDERS though!

The Real World Philadelphia starts tonight- I can't wait!! Going to definatly have to stay up later to watch it. They had a RW marathon Sunday so I watched that all day long. Okay, I'm babbling!!

Well, I finally tried this, and it was one of the nastiest looking things I've ever made. It tasted ... ok. I ate it, but I don't think I'm going to make this again. Thanks for the recipe, though.
I'll try the recipe with crystal light next.

Hmmm, maybe try this: Mix together 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese and 1/2 cup Dannon Lit'n Fit Vanilla flavored yogurt. Put in the freezer for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts and top with 1 tbs. FF whip cream.

It took me FOREVER to finally find it, I just got lucky. I think it would be really good with some Peanut Butter mixed in!! May even make some bannan pudding with it!! Where Jenny is staying is about a four hour drive from me, so we'll definatly be getting together while she's here . I've never watched the apprentice but I'll check it out. I like Extreme Makeover too!!



Posted by: atherjen

Hey sweetie- I am on a fast break from re-piling wood! I just wanted to check up on you, If I have time in a bit before your off work Ill call!

What chain did you find it in? We probably have the same grocery stores in the triangle that you have... I looked in Harris Teeter, but they didn't have it.
I'll try out your recipe, but I'm not too hopeful. Cottage cheese is evil. I just want to like it, because it's such a good quality food.
My trainer recommended mixing cottage cheese with spaghetti sauce and heating it in the microwave. Instant lasagna type meal...

Yup!! I think Drew and Cowboy are going to end up in the final two and Diane is going to be soooo pissed off at Drew. I watched the new Real World too, loved it!!

jfrance- I found it FINALLY at BiLo, but I had looked there fifty gizillion times before that and they didn't have it, I just lucked up. Food Lion has butterscotch (good with a tbs. of PB) mixed in and they have White Chocolate.

Yesterday went good, did 40 minutes of cardio last night and some abs, was aiming for an hour but I had the worst shin splints so I had to stop. My friend sent me these AMAZING protein cookies (brand name is APEX) so instead of my piece of Talipia, I had one of those!!

Todays Meals:

M1: Protein thingy
M2: Lettuce, tomatoe, pickles, chicken (1 can), 2 tsp. parmesean, 4 tbs. Lite Italian, onions, mushrooms
M3: Protein Cookie OR Talipia, broccoli, onion, mushroom, terriyaki sauce
M4: Banana Chocolate Protein Shake, HP Popcorn

Well, I tried cottage cheese with lemon crystal light, and splenda and blended it. That tasted just like I was drinking a lemon merangue pie. Not bad. I'll have to play with the amount of crystal light and splenda now....

thanks!
I may be able to eat the nasty stuff...

Nakomis throws Cowboy and Drew on the block. Diane, Cowboy and Drew conspire to help Diane win the Power of Veto. Diane removes Drew from the chopping block, and Nakomis replaces him with Karen.

Diane understands that Karen and Nakomis are very close and that they would choose each other, so she sets to scheming how to get rid of both of them. Drew admits that they've gotten this far together and they should keep it going strong. They figure out that by getting Cowboy on their side they are three to Karen and Nik's two. Diane and Drew convince Cowboy to plot to let Diane win the Power of Veto. If Diane wins the Veto, and she pulls Drew from being down on the block, she and Drew will then vote Karen off and Cowboy can stay.

The goal of the veto game is to use the objects from competitions past to get the key ring, open the cage (jail like thingy) and then flip a switch to turn a light on. The person that gets freed the quickest wins.

Diane gets the keys, and after several harried seconds when Drew panics as he watches, Diane frees herself, runs out and flips the switch to win the competition. Now the real game-playing begins.

The Veto ceremony arrives and Diane removes Drew, forcing Nakomis to throw Karen on the block.

Thanks hun! Works well..... work LOL!! I sent out a lot of resumes last week so hopefully something will turn up there. Just looking for something related to what I went to school for and more money. Travis, that's hard to say. We're pretty on and off most of the time. I think we both (well, me at least) know that it's over, we're just very comfortable with one another. He has a very bad drinking problem which leads to a VERY bad temper with him. Some people are funny drunks- he's just a mean drunk. Okay, I'm rambling!!



Posted by: M.J.H.

Aww, sorry to hear that things aren't working out. I am in a similar situation with my ex-girlfriend, but things are a little different actually. We were together a bit over 3 years and then things just fell apart. And now we're better friends than ever, and every now and then we talk about working things out. Just not at this point in our lives. We're both in college and not looking for a boyfriend/girlfriend at this point.

Good luck with the resumes! I am working as a driver/bellman/PBX at a hotel right, and am also looking for something better. I really want better hours, better money, etc. This is just driving me crazy. I am actually even thinking about moving to banquets here in my hotel. We'll see what happens.



Posted by: ncgirl21

Try banquets Mike- I use to work at a conference center and hotel close to my town as a server in the banquet hall, they only paid 8.50 an hour, but sometimes I'd leave there with $1000 in tips in one night. The hours sucked and I only worked two nights a week (Fridays and Saturdays ) until almost three in the morning but the money rocked .



Posted by: ncgirl21

Okay, let me try to update yesterdays meals- they changed

Yesterday:

M1: same

M2: same

M3: same

M4: 1 small piece cantaloupe

M5: 1 scoop protein, SF Pudding mix, cocoa, SO Ice Cream

M6: 1/2 cup oats

Was super busy last night so I didn't have time to do any weights or cardio, so yesterday was a Rest Day.



Posted by: ncgirl21

Todays Meals:

M1: Reduced Sugar Oatmeal Packet

M2: "Taco" Salad (healthy version!! )

M3: protein shake with yogurt, SF Pudding mix, cocoa

M4: broccoli, fish

M4: protein shake with IC, SF Pudding mix, cocoa

Cardio and weights tonight!!

I posted M4 twice, but I think your talking about M5 and to be honest, I have no clue , I'll check tonight though, I may switch it around it is a lot and just have it earlier in the day so I burn in off!!

How are you doing today?



Posted by: BabsieGirl

I would say if you really want M5...I'd switch it to m1 or 2 that way, you're burning off throughout the day. Are you calculating the amount of protein in your shakes?

What's your ratio?



Posted by: BabsieGirl

or...if you REALLY want M5......do it after a hard work out session.



Posted by: ncgirl21

I work out at night and I usually have it after that. I know it's got a pretty equal amount of protein and carbs, just need to check the sugar content.



Posted by: BabsieGirl

That's cool.

What about Fibre?

Fiber is definatly not a probelm with me. I eat a whole bag of some sort of broccoli everyday, my shake though has 11 grams counting everything.



Posted by: BabsieGirl

Be careful with Broccoli, it can cause gas and bloating. I'm sure you knew that!

are you training this evening?



Posted by: ncgirl21

It sure does- LOL!! But I LOVE broccoli, always have. My mom never had to fuss to get me to eat my veggies. I'm doing weights and cardio tonight. Weights from 5:45-6:30 or so and then cardio from 7-8.

Hey Jen I got a glimpse of Survivor last night, girls against boys (We Rule! LOL) Big Brother comes on tonight, tomorrow night and then the finale is Tuesday night . I want Cowboy to win, I think it would benefit him the most.

No weights last night. Added in a LC tortilla w/ 1 slice turkey and FFCream Cheese. Did cardio for 53 minutes though- I was wiped out!

*AM Cardio- 20 minutes*

M1: Oats w/ CC milk

The only reason the girls won that challenge was the stupid ballance beam... I think they do it on purpose. They put one idiot on the men's team who has terrible ballance and then make that challenge. Even the guy who was missing a leg made it across.

It's the same thing that happened last time they had girls vs. boys.

Except for the obviously rigged challenge, the guys are far superior physically....

Go men!



Posted by: Sapphire

Mmm I am a broccoli fan too! I ate some for lunch today!
I should go do cardio now, but I am being lazy! Oh OK OK I will go!

Have a great night NC!



Posted by: M.J.H.

Posted by: Jenny

Posted by: Velvet

yohoo, NC, where are ya girl? We're missing you...and I need a BB update as I missed the flippin finale! NCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC?



Posted by: ncgirl21

I'm here.......... just lazy!!! Big Brother Finale is tonight at 8 o'clock!!! I think Drew will win it, I still can't believe he evicted Diane. I know she was bitchy...................... but she really seemed like she cared about him.



Posted by: Velvet

WAHOOOOOOOOOOO, I thought it was on last night and I had missed it....I'm rooting for the hottie too! Ya, Diane looked VERY hurt when she was evicted and I can't really blame her even tho I dont' really like her!

Anything planned for today?



Posted by: ncgirl21

I feel special- ya'll missed me!!

Yesterday's meals: (I don't remeber the weekend's meals, probably higher in calories, but clean for the most part, but I took yesterday's cals done a little just in case)

M1: yogurt, apple
M2: Myoplex Lite Protein Bar
M3: Protein shake
**finally went grocery shopping!!**
M4: broccoli, egg whites
M5: protein shake, carmel rice cakes (1.5 servings)

Probably about 15 minutes of weights and floor exercises. I was just goofing off and bored, no set "routine" really. Did 40 minutes of walking on the treadmill, I'd like to run but it hurts my shins for some reason so I just walked 2.25 miles.

Todays Meals:
M1: protein shake, 1/2 yogurt
M2: apple, tuna salad (the healthy way ) sandwich
M3: 1/2 yogurt, 1/2 cup fiber one, 1/2 cup LF cottage cheese
M4: broccoli (the WHOLE bag), tofu
M5: HP Popcorn, protein shake (Big Brother Finale
