Thanks Stacey! Your support is so helpful!

I'll be okay, I can get through this. I'm looking at it as 10 weeks to get SUPERFIT!! I can focus better when he's not here anyway, I'll look at it that way. I'm just going to miss him soo much.

We do get to visit, I'm not sure if I told you that. We just need to get our passports set up and ready to go. I am very excited to go to Europe! That's what I will have to look forward to, traipsing my superfit booty around Europe.

BTW~ I took my before pictures last night.. hubby took them.. and I just dropped them off to be developed. I pick them up tomorrow, and I'm mailing them to Butterfly to put up on here!!! YEAH!

Which is a BIG STEP For me!! I have never posted fitness pics on here, only my wedding pictures, and pics of me and my friends/family!

I'm so nervous. I don't know why?! But if I want to send my AFTER pics to a fitness magazine..then this will help me build up my nerves, right?

I can't wait to see them!! I bet you look amazing! and yes, it will be a good stepping stone to sending them to Oxygen - I love that magazine! Whenever I want to stray from my eating I need to pick that up and look at those girls.

I know what you mean about your husband being around. Mine just buys a bunch of junk food when he's here. I told him yesterday that when he gets back here, there will be no more junk in the house and he will be working out! He's not going to want to come back! Actually he seemed excited about the idea. He goes through phases with fitness. We've actually done a marathon together, he did great! He's very supportive of me too, which helps. He's just been traveling so much that he's in a mode of eating junk. I need to get him out of it.

That was sweet of him. You can have those things some day right? You don't need them now anyway. You don't even LIKE peanut butter. Tell yourself this 10 times in a row.

Morning Hiker, told you I would still say hi from Claifornia. Darren is at work and I hate just being here all alone and with no car. So I am going to eat and get dressed and relax since I have no cardio to do today and I already did extra cardio on Tuesday. LOL SO I will be here and say hi and trying to whore, might go for a walk.

Hey Hiker!

I'm sorry I haven't been around too much, feel free to kick my ass anytime
I am sorry your husband is going away I know how much it can hurt to have your love so far away.

How's everything? You're back in the gym? That's great! You like it there?

Take care sweets!

Jenny it's about time you got your butt in here! slacker! Just kidding, I know how it goes.

You definitely understand the distance thing. My hun is going to be in Ireland. I'm not sure if that's further distance than yours. I suck at geography!

Anyway, good to see you! Yes, I am back at the gym and LOVING IT!! It's so motivating to see all those fit people getting themselves even fitter.

Enjoy that beautiful weather shorty, when's your honey get home from work?

Riley and I are going to go hang out with some friends today, I think. Maybe go to the pool. It's a tough life, you know?

Stacey, our husbands sound a lot alike. My husband will eat Oreos for dinner. He had such a hot bod when he was working out all the time. He gains muscle pretty easily, so he was lookin fine! He looks good now too, just not as fit. His family history of health is not good at all, I just wish he would take care of himself for those reasons. I want him to be around awhile. The hot bod would be an added bonus!

Stace, that's awesome. I'll help keep you on track if you do the same for me. Sometimes I need a big kick in the butt! I definitely feel more motivated lately, I sooo want to see my sixpack! It was just coming out right before I got pregnant. Had top two abs over my baby belly for the longest time. It was hilarious! I've never gotten further than seeing two though. I will get there! and so will you!

Just had an awesome workout! Back, biceps and 20 minutes of HIIT on the elliptical. I was doing bicep curls in front of the mirror at the gym and realize I'm pretty happy with my body's progress. Still need to lean up those abs though!
