And I do Drink one regular diet coke a day.

But I get in 5-6 liters of water a day!

hikerchick · 08-19-2003, 01:00 PM

Hi J'bo

you're funny!

I will post my before pics in my journal. I got a little shy I guess, my abs don't look like yours.

But if I can get them looking even close, I'll be jumpin'!

J'Bo · 08-19-2003, 01:03 PM

Hiker...oh brother i am sure your abs ROCK babe.

Stace...no it wont hurt you...they are starting to give me headaches now though and bloat me a bit...watch for these signs

hardasnails1973 · 08-19-2003, 01:07 PM

stacey from what i understand there is a soda called "diet rite" and it doesn't have any artiical sweetners in it, but rather splenda. So that may be an alternative option to boring water. I haven't had a diet coke in 5 weeks : (

hikerchick · 08-19-2003, 01:09 PM

Stacey, only if you mean by hurting, that the chemicals in diet coke are slowly eating away at your insides!

LOL j/k
Sorry babe, couldn't resist! I bet that two a week are not going to hurt you in any way and are probably good for your mind, to think you are getting a little treat.

hikerchick · 08-19-2003, 01:11 PM

Thanks J'bo, they will rock for sure. As to whether they do now....actually I am happy with where I'm at now, just always looking to improve.

Hardasnails~~ WoW I'm so honored to have you in my journal!!!

Thanks for the tips! I'll look for that drink!

Go you..no diet coke in 5 wks!!!!

Stacey · 08-19-2003, 01:24 PM

The only reason I drink diet coke is for a little energy kick..since I'm not aloud to take any ephedra or supps anymore

I have been having trouble getting through the afternoons at work..sooo these help me a lot!!

ohhh and Hickerchick..lol..u crack me up!

hardasnails1973 · 08-19-2003, 01:37 PM

can always do green tea. its strong in antioxidents and can excellerate metabolism by up to 4% by itself alone. 500 mgs of green tea Standadrized at 50% EGC's with 3 meals. It also aids in glyocegn disposal as well. (little known fact so good to take with carb meals). r ala is also good to take with carbs meals as well. It not really a supplement but rather one of the strongest antixoidents known as used in anti aging (reason for my youth full looks)

Like me

always looking to improve

hardasnails1973 · 08-19-2003, 01:46 PM

why can't you take supplements ? You mean stimulants ? then you have to work through diffenent pathways then.

caynane pepper - raises basal metaoblic rate though increased thermogenisses
, 500 mgs L carnitine - used to immobilizes fatty acid as primary fuel
, 1000 mgs l-tyrosine - adds in helping you stay motivated and postive moods while in restricted caloires
7 keto - doen;t raise heart rate but aids in maintaining lean body mass while in restricted state

these are just a few

hikerchick · 08-19-2003, 01:55 PM

sorry to whore up your journal Stacey, but hardasnails what is "r ala"?

Stacey · 08-19-2003, 02:39 PM

nooo problem Hickerchick.. I have been learning/researching r-ala's all week.. soo I hope he explains them to you in here!!!

Hardasnails~ THANK U SO MUCH FOR THE ADVICE--man u rock!!!!! Keep it coming!!!

Per my endometreosis dr. (gyno..specializes in my disease) I am not allowed to take anything w/ ephedra.. Or any type of Diet pill.. but I think that L Caritine is fine, and some others to...
