Hey Shorty!
Your back in sunny hot Oregon I see. That's so great that your man is coming in 10 days! You guys get to see each other a lot, that's awesome!

Yeah I wouldn't be able to last without it, I mean if we had to go longer we will but if we can swing it more often, we do it

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!
SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN GIRL!!!!!!

Thats hilarious about you seeing the top of your abs over your baby belly!! I WANT That toooooooooo when I get pregnant!

I soooo wanted ice cream today - Haagen Dazs chocolate peanut butter. Its about the best thing ever. Well, as far as ice cream goes but I was so good and made some "protein ice cream" instead. I think it was w8lifter's recipe: protein powder, cream, vanilla, water, something else can't remember. Anyway, it was okay, not Haagen Dazs but okay. I'll stop talking about Haagen Dazs now.....

Okay, I'm thinking that I just need to cut sugar out of my plan completely. I don't miss it when I don't have it for a few days. But when I have it I want MORE!! I've done that before and it has worked. When it gets cold here I won't want ice cream anymore. Right now, it always comes back to the ice cream!

Today I pick up my daughters 9 month pics from the photographer. She's so cute, I can't wait to see them! One of the poses is her in her diaper with angel wings on sitting on a cloud. Kind of corny but I bet it will be so cute!

I also need to get a workout in before then. My husband is sick so I didn't go to the gym this morning. I'll go do shoulders and abs here, if I ever get off this computer. Okay, going now!

Chocolate and peanut butter sounds yucky to you? omg it is my favorite!

she is a cutie, thanks. I don't have a scanner though, so probably won't be able to show these pics. I'm so proud of her. She started walking this week!

Stacey, you are too funny. I am the same way. Whenever my husband brings home some type of junk that I like, I make him hide it! LOL

Okay, on your next cheat you HAVE to try the Haagen Dazs chocolate peanut butter ice cream! It is sooooo good.

Her pictures did come out really cute. I wish there was some way to show you.

I had to go to the mall to pick them up and I actually bought just 5 gummy bears. The lady at the candy store thought I was nuts. I'm like "Really, I just want 5, if I buy more I'll eat them" and of course she's thinking, uh yeah, that's kind of the point freako! All I needed was 5. they were yummy.

Hey sweetie,
I'm doing good, although tired of this heat. I think I'm ready for fall.

and Yourself? are you at work? Your diet and workouts have been looking great, you've been kicking booty! How's 24 hr fitness these days?

I'm actually really liking my gym right now. I see motivating people every time I go.

24 hour has been so dang busy because of the whole back to school so parents can come in again and want to get reinto the gym now that kids are in school, so I have been so annoyed cause I can't get on anything and people keep taking my equipment I hate that, but otherwise it is good. Well thanks for the compliments but I feel so stuck, like nothing is changing and i just had to throw away some more food that I had in my cubboard from cooking for some friends and family, that i kinda accidentally ate last night. Like 2tbsp of brown sugar but that is it. Now I have my splenda and that is it for sweet. Which it sounds like you are a sweet person also, so you understand how awful tthat is.

Wow ok I am done rambling now LOL What are you guys doing today???

Thanks girls, the support means so much to me. You are both such awesome people.

SS, my husband is working all weekend - argh! - but then pretty much has the next 2 weeks off except for two days so I can't complain too much, right? We're going to a friends birthday party tomorrow. Then probably hiking on Sunday. Where's the figure show you're going to?



Thanks, Stace, I am not where I want to be yet, but who is?! Someone out there who is very happy with your body - talk to us!

It is the Northwest Championships. IOt should be cool, can't decide if i want to go to the evening or morning show.

I am jealous, I found out that when darren is here next weekend i have to work from 6:30am until noon, which isn't bad but still sucks.
