Thread: Doing it for ME

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.

Going on a hike today!

1
3/4 cup Fiber One
1/2 cup soymilk
protein shake
1 T. cream

2
1 1/4 cups ground turkey
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 T. parmesan cheese



Workouts:

1 1/2 hr hike with 20 pound pack (baby)

Your welcome sweetie- Anytime

Oh well thats good that you get to visit!!! I didn't know that! Thats a good way to look at it girl, 10 weeks to get superfit! I love it. I focus better also when Matts not around.. I have to really push myself now that hes on days.. I just wanna hang with him.
I know what ya mean though.. when he goes on his 2 wk hunt trips in November every year..I'm like at the real gym (not home) everynight..and I eat sooo PERFECT.. its great.

thats awesome you get to go to EUROPE!!! How cool!!!

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.

I'm going to go pick some tomatoes from my garden. Will be good in a salad for dinner!

I hear you girls too, and Darren is so supportive he went grocery shopping for for when I am there this weekend but he bought things I can't have and he loves and it is going to kill me when he eats it in front of me, like he lvoes peanut butter and so do it, and nuts and he has them both, oh well i will enjoy through him.

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.

Rest day today Felt really bad when I got to the gym...

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!

Hey girl!
Go for a nice walk. Are you near the beach at all? How long are you there for? Have fun with your honey!

Yum Yum Breakfast Hicker!!

I do that to whenever I start feeling crappy or unmotivated about my body-- just get a Oxygen Magazine or M&F for her!
Thats great that your hubby said he would start taking better care of himself!!!!

I WISH Matt would.. he won't even take vitamins! He eats total junk food.. But is super skinny.. I wish he would lift weights.. he would look so awesome.. oh well!!!!

No unfortunately no beach but the weather here is so nice, I am in the suburbs of sacramento, so I will go lay outside foir awhile, go for a walk and enjoy the sun and the 95 degree weather

How are you doing, what are you and the baby up to today????

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!

Hey girlie I totally know what ya mean!!! Matt is not really a sweets person ( I AM ) but lord..he is a chips/pizza/beer for dinner Guy!! And is soooooo SKINNY! He looked good--damn good too when He was training for the fire dept- going to fire school..after he graduated that, and DIDN't become a fireman (no jobs were avaliable) and nows hes in the Oil business.. AND he has a thyroid condition.. hes just skinny, no muscle! His Legs are the size Of MY ARMS~ NO LIE!!! Its crazy....
anyway.. I gotta jet outta here.. need to go home so I can go walking, and lift weights. Oh and I guess Eat!!

Have a great night honey!!!

Thats sooo awesome that your thinking like that honey..I'm in the same frame Now!! Usually on fridays I eat fajitas (WITH the tortillas..haha) And I am not today!!! YEAH!

HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!

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!

Hey Hiker
How was your weekend?

Hey Jenny!
Your new avi is hotstuff!

My weekend was okay, dh and I argued most of the weekend but we're better now. Sometimes being happily married is a lot of hard work. Mostly it's fun though.

How was yours?

When are you coming to the states?
