so I just had some french fries, some soy ice cream and some skittles, maybe some chinese later but i am ready for a nap now. I am being smart and eating things that don't fuq up my stomach, so that means no diary and not too much fat. time to brush my teeth. I need to remind myself it is not all fat i gain it is all water, so i chugged some dandelion root before and will keep taking it so i don't blow up like a baloon. Oh and I took my ala.

Ok so after that I had a medium thin crust pizza and now today I am super tight and since I took my dandelion root am not holding a ton of water, so I am totally cheating more often

Today will be chest and 45 minutes of cardio

Ok you are totally going to laugh, I only did cardio today, have midterms tomorrow so needed to study but I am so not cheating now for at least a month, just around when that time of the month comes cause that is when i need it the most. I am so pumped and water logged today but ahve been doing dandelion root, about 500-1000mg every couple of hours to try and get rid of the water, looks like tomorrow will be a good day for some running and a kick butt chest workout

It helps reduce water retention, I knew I would feel like a blimp after all thaT food, and I still do, plus flow should be here in the next few days so I am trying to offset all this dang water. Which I am sooooo pumped still from all that food on Saturday and then the water retention cause flow is coming, I feel like a huge FAT ASS!!!!!

Hey honey
Mmm, sounds like a yummy cheat this weekend I'm glad you enjoyed it I'm scared of going without my thermo as well. I ordered some more a few weeks ago and it hasn't arrived yet Tomorrow I'll have my last one from the old bottle.. I'm going to be cranky and moody and even more tired the days after that But taking breaks from them is only good

Have a great day sweets

this looks and sounds familiar!! I was on my way to the Grove when you told me this!!

Definitely no regrets!!! Everyone needs to live from time to time!!! I think I should try this next weekend! I wonder if Katie will go for this!!

Take care sweetie and I'll try to drop in more often!

I used to have problems motivating myself for morning cardio too, but these days I'm loving it. Long powerwalks is what works for me, it gives me some time for reflection and gives me a peace inside and gets me ready for the day ahead I had a running kick earlier last summer, but it didn't last very long Spinning is great too

Im big on more spinning too. used to do sprints at the break of dawn before school too.. that was during my basketball years. the morning is an AWESOME time to just relax.. the rest of the day feels less stressful for some reason eh.
now if only it was 40 degrees warmer here and not so dreary outside!

I just could not get p this morning, will try tomorrow but I think my body needed the sleep since I have been so stressed over midterms. Plus I want to run to day and I hate to run with nothing in my tummy, I just feel so weak. I like to run like 3-5 miles and with no food in tummy is hard to do. But I promise and you can all kick my butt if I do not get up tomorrow. I promise I will.
