Sorry! Guess what - when I did my abs this morning I was thinking of your ab workout from Yesterday and it got me motivated. I'm doing a plank and thinking "okay, got to hold this 10 more seconds so I can get Stacey's 10 inch waist!!"

LMAO!!!! your sooo cute girl!!! I just wish I had a six pack!!! LOL
I ALWAYS think of you to when I'm doing my cardio..or when I do "The fanny lifter"

hikerchick · 09-11-2003, 07:03 PM

I know what you mean about the six-pack. We'll get it, we've just got to!

shortstuff · 09-12-2003, 09:27 AM

Ok missy Hiker, look it is sunny!!!!!!!!!

Hope you had a great workout!!!!!

hikerchick · 09-12-2003, 03:30 PM

It is a GORGOUS day today, you are so right. I am loving it!
I had a great workout yesterday but now I don't get to workout until Sunday!!

I went to physical therapy yesterday and need to take a rest.

hikerchick · 09-14-2003, 11:27 AM

Okay, day one of no sugar! I just need to give it up for good for now. NO problem. I'm off to the gym now.

Can definitely feel the effects of eating crap yesterday. It was my daughters first birthday party so I wanted to have cake with her. It didn't sit well with either one of us.

But we had a ton of fun!

hikerchick · 09-14-2003, 12:40 PM

I took my measurements this morning which I am not going to post. I weighed myself too, that was 130. I'm quite okay with that, since I am 5' 5 1/2". I need to come up with some different specific goals other than a six-pack. Strength goals maybe. I'd like to be able to bench press my weight.

Jenny · 09-15-2003, 03:30 AM

Great job hiker!!

You're doing really really good! I'm so proud of you for sticking to your program!

Did you have a good weekend?

shortstuff · 09-15-2003, 09:04 AM

Hey hun

Did you enjoy the good weather this weekend???? I know I did.......So how was the weekend?????

hikerchick · 09-15-2003, 10:03 AM

Thanks Jenny!

me if you see you need too!

My weekend was great, had my daughters birthday party. She won't be one until 10/26/03 but my husband won't be here then

so we celebrated early. It was fun! She has sooo many toys now, it's crazy!

How was yours? Did you get lots of studying in?

hikerchick · 09-15-2003, 10:07 AM

Hey sweetstuff

shortstuff · 09-15-2003, 01:16 PM

Hey sweet meals hottie hiker

I did unfortunately have to work, which I normally don't on weekends and I hated every minute of it cause I knew he was here by himself. Otherwise, it was tons of friends and family and like 5 hours together alone. I know

Man that is a huge party for your daughter but hey you had a good time and I am sure you did.

Jenny · 09-15-2003, 01:50 PM

Hey Shelley

That sounds like quite a party!

I bet it was a lot of fun

You need to put some pic up of your daughter, or at least email me one! Cause I bet she is the cutest little thing

My weekend was relaxed and nice. Did get some school work in, but I'm took a little break too

Okay, I'll

a little. That yoghurt is not supposed to be in a sugarfree diet Missy!

How do you make your pancakes? I make mine with 7 whites, 1 yolk, 1/2 cup of oatmeal and sweetner. I love them

hikerchick · 09-15-2003, 05:54 PM

ss - ah, you're honey is here! did I understand that correctly? That is sooo sweet - how long is he here for?

hikerchick · 09-15-2003, 06:10 PM

Jenny, you are completely right. I really need to hear things like this. The yogurt is gone so, no more. Thank you!

Since I had some more yogurt this morning tomorrow will be day one of no sugar!

I will definitely post a picture of my beautiful genius child!

I need to upload her pics from the camera anyway. I'll do that today.

I make my pancakes with 3 egg whites, a scoop of vanilla protein powder, and 1 T. ground flax. They are yummy!

Yours sound good too, I will try them soon.

hikerchick · 09-15-2003, 06:19 PM

Okay, here's the first one.

hikerchick · 09-15-2003, 06:20 PM

This is from last week.

shortstuff · 09-15-2003, 06:33 PM

Ok Riley is soooooooo adorable. Yeah darren was here ut he left last night

A fast and furious visit.

You must have so much fun with her and the dog

I think you have it so perfect, the husband, the beautiful child and the gorgeous dog, PERFECT!!!!!

hikerchick · 09-15-2003, 06:59 PM

Awwww, thanks shortstuff! Thanks so much for saying that.

I do have to agree with you, I feel extremely blessed with my life!

Sorry Darren was here for so short of a time

I need to go catch up on your journal and see what's going on with you! Your comp must be right around the corner!?

shortstuff · 09-15-2003, 07:38 PM

Yeah it should be, I am not feeling up to the task right now, have been in the dumps all day. Poor darren has had to deal with me crying a few nights about it, and he has no idea what to say to make me feel better

hikerchick · 09-15-2003, 07:51 PM

what's the matter babe? are you on super low carbs? that always does it to me. big hugs!

shortstuff · 09-15-2003, 07:57 PM

no, well i am but it is just that I don't feel I am anywhere near where I need to be but I will send pics to my trainer and see what she says.

hikerchick · 09-15-2003, 08:42 PM

Well, all I can see in your avi is your abs, and they look awesome. If the rest of you looks that good you have nothing to worry about! As long as you have tried your hardest, and it really seems like you have, then you can be really proud of yourself. Knowing you did your very best is a huge accomplishment in itself.

shortstuff · 09-15-2003, 08:45 PM

You are so sweet babe

Thank you so much the good words mean so much to me and hey hottie you are amzing, you look GREAT and youhave a child!@!!!

Jenny · 09-15-2003, 11:15 PM

Aww, Riley is ADORABLE!!

She looks like a cute little troll in the first one

and that second pic is just adorable! Thank's for sharing honey!

Those pancakes sound yummy too!

I'm not really sure what ground flax is though, is that when the flax seeds are crushed? Er, yeah, I'm a swede, I need to have things explained to me sometimes

I'll be watching

hikerchick · 09-15-2003, 11:18 PM

Thanks shortstuff, that is so nice to hear, I mean it. I took my dog for a walk tonight and I was thinking about what you said and you're so right. I have so much to be thankful for in my life and I think I have been taking it for granted. Sometimes I need to be hit over the head with the truth to actually see it.

Thank you again.

hikerchick · 09-15-2003, 11:27 PM

LOL Jenny, she does have a kind of "elfish" thing going on. She's like a cute little imp.

Yeah, ground flax is the seeds ground up. It's really good. Kind of nutty. I put it on cottage cheese or in my oatmeal sometimes.

And you are so right about the yogurt. So tomorrow will be day one of no sugar. I want to do this right and I appreciate you keeping an eye on me!

I feel like my nutrition has been so off lately and I am tired of it. When I am eating well, the longer I do it, the easier it is. I need to remember that in these first few days/weeks again. I have to make the commitment to myself. Just
