Jill · 04-07-2004, 12:08 PM

Try now, the seem to be working for me!

atherjen · 04-07-2004, 12:12 PM

nope!

Jill · 04-07-2004, 12:38 PM

Stupid internet. It doesnt work for me now either!!

Go to this website http://www.challengerhomes.com choose the area either lewis estates or foxboro, then click on 'see the show home', scroll over the little thumbnail pics to see the little pics, and do the virtual tour. I hope it works!

atherjen · 04-07-2004, 12:48 PM

hey hey it worked! thats real cool!

I was checking out the LewisEstates one! pricyy eh
pretty darn nice though!!

JLB001 · 04-07-2004, 12:54 PM

Very Pretty! I like the tub!

Jill · 04-07-2004, 12:55 PM

I live in Lewis right now AJ, pricy, ya i know!!

naturaltan · 04-07-2004, 01:04 PM

that about 200,000 more than I want to spend on a house

very nice though. I think we've walked through that one and the missus last year would have said, it's ok ... a bit small. Now she might actually say this is about right.

Then I'd say, about right, how much room do 3 people need. You need a kitchen, livingroom and 2 bedrooms.

Jill · 04-07-2004, 01:09 PM

We only have 2 people-the house in total is around 2000sq feet, we would have a finished basement, and 2 extra rooms!

Bigger the house, more to clean!!

Nt, is Donnas house hard to find? Yellowhead then exit on vic trail the quickest way for me you think?

Wow ... what would you do with all that space and all those rooms.

greekblondechic · 04-07-2004, 01:26 PM

NICE HOUSES!!!!!

Stacey · 04-07-2004, 01:59 PM

NICE HOUSE JILL!!!

Its so weird looking at your model homes, compared to ours here in Texas!! The layouts and Everything are Completely different!!!

VERY Nice though!!

I love all the wood floors!!!

I need to post a pic of my new home for ya. It is 1800+ Sq. feet..
Just looks way different then those. Guess b/c we don't have basements here!

Jill · 04-07-2004, 02:00 PM

Post a pic Stacey. We have 2 story houses too!

Stacey · 04-07-2004, 04:02 PM

I'm gonna look for it in my old "staying lean" Journals!! They are on here somewhere..hehehe!!

Good Luck tonight!! Can't wait to here all about it tomorrow!

Jill · 04-07-2004, 05:07 PM

Getting ready to go see the trainers, yipeeeeee!

atherjen · 04-07-2004, 05:11 PM

I wanna see the pic too!

Good Luck Jillybean!!!!

Jill · 04-07-2004, 05:19 PM

Thanks AJ! I feel sore already, my workout was short but it was tough!

I did 7 flights of 240 stairs. I cant jog up all 240, maybe 3/4, and by the time you get to the top you are literally GASPING for air. I also did a mini hill 2 X. I go up the stairs several diff ways, sideways, 2 or 3 at a time-3 is like a huge lunge. Jog 10, walk 10, just try to switch it up. Last year I was doing 10-11X 240 stairs, I didnt want to kill myself today, tomorrow we'll see how I feel, Im sure I will be sore!

atherjen · 04-07-2004, 05:28 PM

DANG Im tired just reading all that!!

fun fun!!! sounds ruff!
I cant wait to start sprinting again once the weather gets better!

greekblondechic · 04-07-2004, 07:14 PM

cant..breathe... oh oops that wasnt my workout it was yours hehe

what did the trainers say missy we wanna know!!!!!!!!!

Jill · 04-07-2004, 09:04 PM

It was great to meet with the trainers! The had a binder, with atleast 100 pics of people they have transformed-there were even pics of a guy they trained who is now the 'muscletech' model!!!! They deff know there stuff.

My bf was high-21.7%, they measured my wrist, and put this thingie around my arm, I dont know how accurate this is. They said the average active female is 20-25% bf.

They mainly stressed the importance of diet. All the people in their binder changed NOTHING except their diets, their training stayed the same.

They set me up on a meal plan, staring at 2100 cals, it seems pretty high, but Im gonna give it a go. (They are aiming for 2lb a weeks fat loss) Quite a few diff foods to choose from, I can even have skim milk and some diff cereals! (fairly small portions though) They are about counting cals, and not so much carbs and proteins, which I am used to-fats are to be kept to a very min.

Cardio and weights are important as well. The more cardio the better-even if its just a simple walk, that is cardio. My tool that they use to monitor their/my progress is the scale. I should be weighing in daily. You wanna know something else they told me? The average GIFTED women can only put on approx 6lbs of muscle a year, which in turn is 1/2lb a month.

Im excited yet scared to do this. The rigid-ness military style is going to be a lot of work. I want this to work mentally. I dont want to get stressed emotionally, and binge. Im gonna give it a try.

Jill · 04-07-2004, 09:05 PM

Anybodys input is greatly appreciated.

naturaltan · 04-07-2004, 09:06 PM

nice work Jill

Brings me back to the ole boxing days.

sara · 04-07-2004, 09:09 PM

Sounds great Jill! When you going to start the new plan?

naturaltan · 04-07-2004, 09:10 PM

ummm ... something you wrote Miss Jill
AND DIDNT CHEAT ONCE! Serioulsy, I was like, how the heck did you do that? She said she'd only be cheating herself, very true.

naturaltan · 04-07-2004, 09:12 PM

so ... how do you really feel about what you're about to embark on?
