Of course none of them are true

hehe
I'm single, sane (sort of), and not pregnant

Ok I will update later with today's diet..

Viv, yesterday is history focus on the future do not dwell on the past . What done is done ...remeber holidays come around once a year so enjoy them and then deal with after affects. 2-3 days you will be back to normal. new year starts very soon and there will be alot of changes happening for both of us i'm sure, just hang in there...we are here to support you

greekblondechic · 12-28-2003, 12:48 PM

1/2c oatmeal
too much lamb again lol, salad (smushed first 2 meals together)
1 apple 1tbsp peanut butter(?)

low carb protein bar

chicken salad w bad stuff on it..mandarins, carrots, accidentally ate some of the chips that were mixed in but only a few
dressing was supposedly low cal..but always use dip fork method
sip of my friends mango madness drink at champps(MMMMM)

another low carb protein bar (bad I know..)
sugar free KY stinger..oops thats YJ Stinger hahaha
this really worked, a lot better than the time i tried sf red bull

DANCING woohoo i love it! except for creepy guys tryin to take me home

12/27/03 MY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

(skipped cardio since I went dancing the night b4 and was goin again)
1/2c oatmeal 1.5 scoop protein pinch coconut
3 strawberries

lamb again! (none left haha)
1 apple

1tbsp pb (ate some throughout the day.. :S)

low carb protein bar (i gotta stop eating those..)

chicken salad w raspberry vinegrette (who knows the nutrition info!!! (are artichokes ok? gotta look them up on fitday..)

two baby sips of my friends malibu bay breeze (I DIDNT REALLY DRINK ON MY BDAY GO ME!!!)

DANCING

BUT...at the diner afterward..

ordered a respectable tossed salad dipped fork in honey mustard..
then...ate a pancake drenched in syrup and a little butter
and 1/4 or so blueberry muffin (my friends suck

)
(paid for it with cardio today, will update w todays diet later)

hardasnails1973 · 12-28-2003, 01:21 PM

freinds never do my dear and only some times can do more harm then good =, but they don't mean it and just don't understand some times. this journey that we partake in only a few people every stay with it and when it comes to being the best it may mean sacrfices and challenges which ordianry people just will never understand

greekblondechic · 12-29-2003, 01:10 AM

Today:

45mins cardio (sugar free YJ Stinger helped me a lot!)

1/2c oatmeal 1.5scoop protein

11 shrimp, salad, 3tbsp salsa, handful nuts
1 apple

low carb protein bar

rib steak mmmm salad

1/2 chicken salad w some weird dressing 2 small cubes apple
pecans (ive got to stop eating out!)

diet hot chocolate

during the afternoon i was sweating even tho my house was 66 degrees and i was wearing a tank top..WEIRD...wonder if it was the YJ stinger from the morning..

firestorm · 12-29-2003, 01:31 AM

Diet doesn't look all that bad. I'd be tossing in a protein shake or 2 instead of the diet chocolate drinks for example and what about your workouts? Can you post some of those GC (GC is your abbreviated name deary) lol.

greekblondechic · 12-29-2003, 10:32 AM

awww..you know ur in when they give u a special name! lol! thanks for the comment about my diet..ive been trying altho going out and being so busy its a little f'ed up..

the diet hot chocolate is to ward off chocolate cravings (only 25 calories!) when they get bad...not as a meal altho if i hadnt been going out late nights to diners and restaurants my last meal would probably be a shake
(gotta stop eating those damn protein bars)

I havent done weights in a while bc Ive been busy..will do them later today...
anyway..skipping cardio this morning bc i am SO tired, and when i got up to go to the kitchen i was majorly dizzy..so I figure I can go to the gym later but right now would not be a great idea..

ncgirl21 · 12-29-2003, 02:18 PM

What kind of low carb bars were you eating?
Great journal BTW!

Stacey · 12-29-2003, 03:03 PM

Hey there! Great Journal!! Happy (little late) 21st birthday!!! Sounds like u had fun!!
I think I may have that IBS problem or something like it also. Have been dealing w/ stomach problems for probably 4 yrs. now.

Anyway-- wanted to say HI!

Keep up the great worK!

greekblondechic · 12-29-2003, 03:56 PM

thanks ncgirl and stacey

my favorite low carb protein bars: STRIVE - Smores flavor, by Biochem i think

Stacey, its very common even tho u dont hear about it much..up to 20% of the population has it, altho some worse than others and its more predominant in women..and aggravated by stress..
wondering how u deal with it, or do u not know how? im still working on it.. send me a pm if u want to talk

Anybody is welcome to send me a pm tho

but dont forget to leave comments

this journal has been helping me stay focused :P

hahahaha oh hell yea kiddo your IN. I'm glad to hear your sensible and not risking injury just to get a workout in. More of us should think that way. I suppose that is where the phrase musclehead came from.
dhuuu My shoulder really hurts today so I'll do some 225 over head presses to work it out. hahahahaha Yea right. that is most of us except that poundage. lol
Good luck GC and I'll be keeping a VERY close EYE on that diet of yours excpecially starting Jan 2nd. lol

greekblondechic · 12-29-2003, 09:08 PM

omg i almost forgot... 5 gummy bears!!!!

Rissole · 12-29-2003, 09:10 PM

mmmmm gummy bears.....

firestorm · 12-29-2003, 09:36 PM

Young lady as ris stated I get to love me(little bastard that he is).
Regarding you though,,, you HAVE to cut OUT the soda and junk kiddo. If your really serious about cutting your fat percentages you would be best off, not cheating little here and little there throughout the week and limit such cheating to what is known as a "cheat" day. On the Cheat day that doesn't mean,, to go drink a liter of cola 1 pizza 1 1/2 gallon of Ice cream but a few small portions of one or 2 of those kinda things. It also gives you something to look forward to all week. Think about it.

greekblondechic · 12-29-2003, 09:40 PM

DIET SODA ALWAYS!

firestorm · 12-29-2003, 09:48 PM

No no no,, it still causes you to retain water. no no no and that is my final decision. lol If you must then you must but try curving some of those 'mistakes" ok? lol

Rissole · 12-29-2003, 09:58 PM

Listen to Fire GBC.... (big bastard that he is)

greekblondechic · 12-29-2003, 10:22 PM

i know i know..just they taste soo good..and caffiene mmm...

firestorm · 12-29-2003, 10:33 PM

I'll never argue with you regarding Caffiene because I love it also. I get my fix in the form of coffee though. And yes even I cheat with things. I do put a "spot" of milk in mine 2% but only a touch. And Equal.
But soda, as much as I love it also, I will have a glass every friday with dinner and I don't even go diet. I go full blown Coke. huu rah!!! Gonna cheat, cheat good I always say. But that is pretty much my whole cheating routine. No ice cream, candy chips nothing. Just my glass of soda, 2 slices of pizza with cheese pulled off on fridays and my coffee with Equal and a touch of 2%.

david · 12-29-2003, 10:36 PM

OK, I must intervene FS and Riss and say

to GBC! I love your journal, BTW!!! The structure is quite cool!

Diet Soda is awesome too, but my trainer forbids me to drink it so.............

OK, again, Hi GBC and I'm going to have fun following this as well!

firestorm · 12-29-2003, 10:54 PM

She is very honest and as bubbly as the soda she drinks Dave. Yes it will be fun following along with her and kicking her in the booty every once in awhile. lol

greekblondechic · 12-29-2003, 11:04 PM

lol..yeah i need a swift kick in the butt sometimes, why else would i be here

btw thanks and hi david
does your trainer forbid it bc of the bloating issue?
