Hi Jenny!!
Just wanted to tell you thats great what your doing for your friend. I know she appreciates it so much!! Your wonderful. I helped out my friend last year..she too was afraid of gyms..but knew she wanted to lose weight. We met every morning almost and walked together and went to my apartment gym b/c nobody was there..
She lost some weight--started eating better--and was SO happu--

She even joined 24hour fitness!! I was so proud!! Then she got pregnant--but shes already asking me for help again now that her baby is born.

I know you will have a positive reaction to your friend as well-- Just be there for her!~

Jenny, If you ever have a no carb or 2 net carb protein bar... would you allow you'r self to have it on a low carb day?

Aww Stace, you are such a sweetie That's what I'm planning to do too, taking her on powerwalks and stuff. We went to the gym yesterday when it was almost empyt and she really enjoyed it She worked hard too and I told her how well she was doing, which I know is important to her. She had a good first experience and will go with me one more time this week! I'm excited to start working on her diet too, but it will all be itty bitty changes each time so she won't be overwhelmed
It's fun helping, it gives us so much back!

I don't eat protein bars, so I can't really say that. To me it is cheat food and an okay solution to a sweet craving every now and then, but I wouldn't use it regularly. To me all protein bars taste like crap and I'd take real food over it any day

Hello Jenny!

I just got done reading some of your journal here and I couldn't agree more on the Protein bars! Personally, I'd rather add another small meal than consume Detour, U-Turn etc.

The meals are still very superior in your routine! I swear, your's and Atherjen's routine and diet are awesome and you both have pictures to prove it! Like I said in Atherjen's journal and I've said it along time ago in your journal. My female clients, I make them read particular journals in IM.com to Believe what other women do to achieve their goals fitness and diet wise. And yes, you BOTH are my FAVORITES.

Okay, let's see, I haven't eating exactly according to my eating plan today. I haven't been really bad, it's all good food, just not on the right times and not the same quantity. My excuse? I don't have any Except my superheavy tummy cramps
Let's see, here's what I've had:

Meal 1:
7 whites
1/3 cup oatmeal
1 grapefruit
1/2 cup brown rice (I was cooking it to bring to school, but then I ended up missing my bus and eating it )

Meal 2:
2 oz turkey
2 sl whole grain bread
5 almonds

Meal 3:
1 dl whey
1 orange
1 apple

Meal 4:
5 oz white fin fish
veggies

Workouts:
- 60 min Body Pump class. This was fun and a nice change It helped my cramps too

I'm going out dancing with my friends tonight Not drinking though, cause I think I'll have to take painkillers for my cramps and don't want to mix em with alcohol

I'm kinda debating myself on what to do with my body right now. One part of me wants to build more muscle and one part of me doesn't want me too but thinks I'm too big already. I might not look big in my pics, but I do have quite a bit of muscle. I like it though, I just need to get leaner. Today I haven't been very goal oriented and I don't seem to have the same motivation as I did before Christmas. I don't really know why cause I still want to change my body. My weight routine is what I'm thinking about now a little, how to change it and if I should change it. I'm getting bored with the Push, Pull program, but I think it's been helping a lot in making the changes I've done in the past months. I don't want to build more muscle right now, just maintain. My old 4 day split would be good for maintaining too and that might be the best thing to do.. Hmm, I need to sleep on this I think.
Er, okay, time to shower
