Still plugging along Tam. I've been wanting junk pretty bad lately, but doing good to pass it up. Bad thing is I am up to chewing a pack of gum a day! Tomorrow am is Jon day, so we will see how it is sitting. Kinda scared to see. I'm only thinking low 10's. Want to be in the 9's, but I dunno. Weight hasn't budged this week.

Ok...i don't like working out without my partner!
Ijust finished my back workout here at the cheesy gym in Florida and there were all these guys in there making jokes about me being on roids...which of course I am not.

They were like "you got that big on cell-tech right!"

i was like, no...i just know what the hell I'm doing..i dont cheat on my exercises to curl more weight...i dont arch my back on my bench presses...and i eat a clean meal EVERY FUCKING 2.5 hours.

try that for a while and see if you dont look like me or better....but of course you wont cause you'll have some excuse.

i guess i should be flattered they think i am on juice but i really wish they knew i wasnt so they knew that they were actually capable of better things if they did it right.

oh well......screw em'


hey baby...i miss you....love ya....talk soon ok
(i am going to my mom's friend's house to read her x-rays...then i am taking my mommy out to dinner!)

David...he is some retirement community about 45 mins n of Orlando. Over by the Villages.

Craigieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....I tried to call, but guess you were eatting. Andi kept me company while I did my workout, she was telling me all her issues. Her dr. kept her waiting almost 2 hours and still didn't get to see her. The dr. had to do emergency surgery and then deliver a baby. Andi did resched. for Thurs. Told her to get a complete bloodwork up and to be sure to check her insulin levels as well. Something isn't right and I can see why she is so frustrated. She's gonna email her daily food stuff tomorrow. I think she needs to up her calories for a few weeks, to get her body back in order before she even thinks of trying to loose, plus with her thyroid issues too. She was gonna go to the store to get some fruits for the evening and for tomorrow.

umm...those goofballs at the gym there can remain clueless. hell, people ask all the time if I am getting bigger at work. I'm like no...I've dropped almost 20lbs, you can just see the muscle that was under all my fat! Tell them to go back to their McD's Big Mac and supersize fries! You know by the time you leave on the weekend they will be copying your workout, they always do.

I miss you too! Can u come home now? I'm bored silly. Oh...I was good on Harwin. Didn't buy anything but did find soe nice rhinestone necklaces, etc. I also need to order more crystals for my suit tomorrow from that dance place. They went up to $28 a gross! Anndddddddd...Nick posted pics of the new baby on his webpage. He's a cute baby. Nick took some really good shots too!

Jen...I know I shouldn't have a pack or so a day..but it saves me from other things I can't have. I swear my tongue is numb from this gum, I need to find another one that last long or that I won't swallow. It's like candy to me.

Alright..here is the back workout.
One arm seated cable rows
4x12,10,8,6@30,40,40,50
RG Bent over rows with straight bar
4x12,10,8,6@65,85,105,115
WG Pulldowns
4x12,10,8,6@70,90,100,110
NG seated rows with short bar
3x10,8,6@50,80,100
Shrugs
3x15@180
HyperExt. 3x15@25

PM cardio was spin class for an hour. It sucked. Knee was getting sore and that instructor likes to do everything with lots of tension on the bike!
Dinner was a chicken boobie with salsa and sauted aspargus with steak seasoning. (gonna pay for that salt in the am. when I go to Jon.) I waited to eat the aspargus late after spin class....didn't want to stink up the room with body odor!

Although Orlando is more tourist like it's still a major haven for retirees... My first guess would've been, Central Florida but in Tampa/Sarasota.

LMAO!!!! Another true statement! Muscles definition/density does look bigger and better than just a bulky mass person. Strange huh? Plus, women love it too!

NOTE to self: More definition, DAVID!!!!!!

This morning was better at the gym in Florida...i went EARLY..to get my leg workout done.

It started off with only one other person in thee (a woman in her 60's or so)....she didnt make any comments on roids.

I like it when the gym is empty like that....I got a great workout in.

Playing tennis and golf with dad today....so that will be my cardio...well the tennis will be...riding around in a golf cart is hardly cardio!

My dad went out this morning to get eggs...i told him to get a dozen just for my breakfast and he looked at me like I was crazy....they eat 3 each....crazy ass bodybuilding diet!

Only 3 eggs? That isn't even a snack. Do they realize the small fortune they will spend on eggs this week?!

I did decide at the food store on a premade brownie and some strawberries. I'll do my cardio tonight. I HAVE TOO> Even if its after legs. We'll see if that brownie and strawberries helps in the lack of energy. I am veiny as all hell right now! No more bad stuff after today. getting too close.

I'll post the stats in a min. gotta do a few things here first. They aren't impressive. No more ground beef before body fat test and no more sauted aspargus either! It's the only thing it can really be. Water. ick

Hi Andrea and Gary! Hope ya'll are having a great start to today!

Craigie...here is that link to Nick's pics of the baby. I love the one with the hand and the baby toes!

I think he is really developing in his way to tell a story with his photos.

My mom came shopping with us the other day. She asked why we bought so many flats of eggs. We told that between the two of us, we eat 15 - 18 a day. Her eyes were just like this



just kick'in it in the ole Charger

Jodie~ Hey honey! When I went on my cruise back in November we met 3 great older couples-they were so neat! They lived about 45 minutes from Orlando (where we flew into) in a retirement community. Wouln't that be weird if they were Craig's parents??? haha!!
We were suppose to keep in touch with them by email-but we are first emailing them this week!! Oops!
Have a great day!

Today's Bodyfat Update And yes....I am freaking out today.

2/27 - 3/10 - 3/24 - 4/7 - 4/21 - 4/28 - 5/5
weight: 143- 137 - 134 - 134 - 131 - 129.5 - 129
Tri: 23 - 19 - 18 - 17- 15 - 12.5 - 13.5
Bi: 6 - 4 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 2.5 - 2.5
Subscap: 14 - 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 7 - 7
Supra: 17 - 13 - 8.5 - 7.5 - 6 - 6 - 5
Pec: 10 - 7.5 - 7 - 3.5 - 3 - 3 - 3.5
Abs: 14 - 9 - 7 - 5.5 - 5 - 5 - 5
Kidney: 31 - 23 - 21.5 - 16 - 15 - 13 - 14
Quad: 42 - 35 - 31.5 - 25 - 22.5 - 21.5 - 22
Calf: 25 - 22 - 21 - 21 - 20- 18.5 - 18
BF %: 23.9 - 17.4 - 15.46 - 13.07- 11.8 - 10.88 - 11.06
fat lbs: 33.78 - 23.8 - 20 - 17.5 - 15.2 - 14.09 - 14.26
LBM: 109.22 - 113 - 113 - 116.5 - 115 - 115.4 - 114.7

This is a first, never have had it go back up even if it is just a little amount. Still enough to screw with your head. As I said in a post a few before this one, I had a 1 lb of 96% ground beef yesterday in two meals and then about 2c. of asaragus sauted in a bunch of seasoning that is high in salt about 3 hours before bed, so that increase has got to be water. I'm holding it like a friggen sponge.

Well...think I just found my motivation to be sure to not slack on my cardio and not eat stuff I shouldn't have. 5 1/2 weeks is not long and I have to drop another 4 to 5% more. Plus the LBM went down this time too. THIS BLOWS!!!! But I thik it will all be ok.

ahhh Jodie dont worry Im sure some has got to be water weight. I mean you didnt do anything really bad to make it go up like that?! could have been errors in the readings too.. they are only approximate.
chin up woman! just keep working hard!

Wednesday last week was pretty bad. Pancakes, PF Chang's and bagels for dinner. But shouldn't have affected it that much. But then who knows..it could have. Oh...I had PF Chang's twice last week. Gawd I hate work sometimes, make me eat bad shit.

Least it wasn't a Tom, Dick or Harry!

Yes..no more cheat foods. Gotta be clean from here on out. Shouldn't have had the strawberries and brownie, but I was lacking so much energy and feeling drained. Just gotta go forward from now on.... no looking back.

This morning. I only bought one. Would have baked them, but then there would be a whole pan still here in the office. Not a good idea!
