Too many people buy sneakers because they think they are "cute," and they aren't right for the activity they want to do or aren't right for their feet. For workout shoes, it's about fit, not style. Just keep that in mind when choosing a pair.

Hey everyone

Jodie....omg I am laughing so hard right now PS - I think you are scaring off the men from visting my journal Sorry guys I am just feeling the "girl power" thing right now, no offense

Ohhh Jen - yeah I saw those sneaks you are talking about. Nikes usually don't fit me well, I tried on the pink/white Nikes and they wern't really wide enough. I don't have a clue about downloading the pictures. I have Kodak EasyShare. Easy my ass!....I think I need to download it to a blank CD first (which I need to buy). If anyone is familiar with this type of camera pls let me know. I didn't see how to download to the hard drive in the handbook so I don't think you can do it that way.

Jill - Nice to see ya here again You are RIGHT ON about the cardio, and throwing some heavy weight around helps to when you are frustrated or mad

Hi gwcaton Don't be afraid, we don't bite like the black widows

Aggies1ut - Jeesh I have made that mistake before I am real picky on new sneakers because they have to be comfy so I can do my workouts.

4/4 Stuff:

I just got back from the posing session and all I can say is wow, I feel like a million bucks

I got a ton of positive feedback from the coaches (Cathy & Linda) and I am now really confident about doing the show on the 24th. They both said I don't seem nervous at all anymore when I walk on stage and hit my poses. That suprised me because I haven't put on my heels in 6 months....but it comes right back like riding a bike I guess. I kinda have a "who gives a shit attitude" so I guess that comes across as confidence on the stage I wore short shorts and a tank top so they could see my physique and tell me their opinion if I could be ready in time and I was like "yeah but I need to lose more lbs don't I?" and they both shook their heads and called me crazy. They gave us a lot of great advice and tips too, I am glad I went. I always learn something new everytime I go. I also come back with a surge of confidence, they are such an invaluable resource, I could never be so confident without all the support I get there.

Oh with my diet:
I am gonna clean it up way more, esp. cutting back on sodium. Not sodium depletion, just the excess sodium because I have a lot in my diet right now and I am holding water.
*Bread = as of this moment on, no more. I crave it too much and it does bloat me somewhat.
*Dairy = I am almost out of ff cheese and lf cottage cheese. I will use up what I have left then cut it out (too much sodium).
*Fruit = It doesn't make a huge dif if I cut it out or not. I will limit it to just the berries in the AM with my Fiber One.
*Sodium laden products = No more ff dressings, condiments, splenda...it's gone as of right now!
*Diet Soda = at 2 weeks out it will be gone.
*Deli Turkey = crap my mom just bought me 1.5 lbs of it. That will last maybe a week so after that is gone, no more.
*Protein powders = Linda says try to eliminate them totally and rely on real food. I will give it a shot.

I am going to cook a bunch of meals tonight so I can grab them from the fridge and go straight to work. I don't have time to prepare things in the morning, which is why I rely on protein powder a lot

Oh yeah - they also said there is a huge report this month in Consumer Reports about supplements. We are getting a copy next week of the report but everyone should check it out. They said even the ephedra free products are dangerous and can cause kidney problems and all kinds of other problems. Also most of the "fat burner" supps are a waste of money and are actually harmful too. I don't use any, but I know alot of people here do so beware When I get my copy I will post up more info on this stuff!

Well I am going to get my sneakers and look for an outfit for the "themed sportswear" round. You have to dress up like an athlete, such as a baseball player, basketball, cheerleader, tennis player, whatever. I have to figure out something for that round.

Next week's session is Saturday so I might try to spray tan myself this week so I can "see" myself better!

I'm feeling pretty good today, pretty motivated

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Too bad it's almost over~!

I didn't get a dock station Jodie and it didn't come with one. Its a Kodak CX6330.
I have the Easyshare CD and downloaded my pics from my camera to the "easyshare" album but how can I link it up to my journal? I tried emailing pictures to myself but it doesn't work?

JLB001

let me go look and see if I can figure it out. I think I have that program.

jstar

Thanks everyone I do feel more "driven" - or like I have some unspent energy just dying to get out!

Jodie - I hooked up the UB (I think that is what you call it) cable from my camera to the PC, it downloaded my pics to easyshare. I don't think they are in jpeg, that may be the problem. If you can figure out how to get my pics from easyshare to my hard drive or to my journal, please let me know. Thanks babe

4/5 Stuff:

The deadline for my application is 4/10. Oops! I have to get on the ball I am cutting it close!

I am going to the gym tonight to do a full body workout and cardio. I am so excited it will be light out when I leave the gym, woo hoo!

I am not sleeping good at all. The past few nights I have just been laying there in bed til 3-4 am. I just keep thinking about "him" and trying hard not to!

Jill

My dig camera was messed too. If I took pics, then hooked up the cameral with the usb cable, the pics would upload as jpegs fine. BUT, if my memory card is in the camera (hold like 50X more pics), it will not upload the pics. I never did figure it out. I just bought a new printer, with a slot that you put the memory card in, screw the camera!

jstar

Mine won't let me save them as jpegs...weird. It will let you email them so I emailed one to myself and got an error message. That was 2 days ago and then today the pic arrived in my yahoo mail. Weird, huh? Oh, it's a picture of my cat - let's see if I can post it here...brb

jstar

forget it!

Jill

That pic stuff gets really annoying eh?

Hey, hows the water drinking going???

jstar

naturaltan

good luck with the comp J! Sounds like you're ready to take some hardware home.

When you email a pic, when extension does it have?

just kick'in it in the ole Charger

Paynne

Don't know if this will help or hurt. If I'm being too confusing just ignore this post

Connect the camera to the computer with the USB cable.

If you're using windows XP click on start->My Computer, or "explorer" if using another flavor of windows. Double click on "C:". Make a new folder , whatever you want to name it, to hold the pix.

Open another "My Computer" or "explorer" window. You should see a "removeable drive" icon, that's the camera. Go in there, and somewhere you should see the pix. Hightlight them and hold the "control" and "c" buttons at the same time.

Go to the "My Computer" or "explorer" window where you made the new directory. Hit the "control" and "v" buttons at the same time.

At least now you know where the pix are on your puter and what they are called. Uploading them from there should be easier.

If I was confusing just ignore me and I'll go away

I am sooo busy at work today!

Jill - I'm back on the caffeine! I had to it was too much for me & after jerk-o dumped me, well, it was the wrong time to give it up. I will HAVE to drink more water and ditch the caff. though in another week or so for depletion anyways but I am enjoying myself till then!

NT - Thanks! when you say take some hardware home are you talking about me stealing a computer or me taking home a trophy?

Paynne - Wow thanks, I will give this a shot when I get home! Thank you soooo much, and no you could never be a pain!

Hey Stacey - I am busy too!! At least the day goes by faster! How was your interview???? :fingerscrossed:

Jen - I like to keep people in suspense

hardware ... taking home a trophy of course. I'm a dad, I can't go around condoning stealing. I have a hard enough time explaining to our daughter why mommy downloads music without paying for it.
