Working on "ME"

Jill · 06-13-2004, 03:16 AM

Hi all!

Glad to be back.

Over all Steve and I had a great time. Weather was awesome, beach was beautiful (like our tans!) Basically we did a whole lot of R & R. I deff wont miss the food, it was only 'average' in my books!! I lived off of tuna, eggs, pasta and bread (and some desserts) so I doubt I lost any weight at all. I plan to weigh in Monday. I have a tonne of pics that Ill post in a few days.

A major highlight of our trip is that we met a great couple from Toronto, who both just finished competeting a week ago! (and placed very well) We hung out with them, and learnt a lot of valuable info. They were great with the hundereds of questions we asked, and very inspiring, and totally ripped!!! They have offered to help us by email-shes a nutritionalist, he is a personal trainer. We even trained with them at the gym in the resort!!! Really nice down to earth people. Id love to post the pics I have of them, but I dont think that would be appropriate.

I also read Dr Phills book-weight loss management 2X, highlighted numerous parts, and made some real connections. I plan to re-write my 'notes', when I have some time on the computer, and will share if anyone is interested. I dug very deep this time, and actually set some 'realistic' goals. Im so very excited to begin healing my emotions once and for all. Im also going to follow a plan / advice from my Toronto friend, and totally revamp my training-these people are just amazing!!!

Glad to be home and back on track.

Nice pics Jill ! You two look like you were having a good time !

Jill · 06-14-2004, 08:40 AM

Thanks Gary, and yes we did have a great time!

naturaltan · 06-14-2004, 09:05 AM

Wow ... great pics Jill!!
I love the pic of you standing in the walk way - very sexy. I understand that you still have a weight goal to achieve, but by looking at the very last beach pic of you and Steve, you are much closer than you made it seem to me! That last pic is my next favorite. I think I've seen Steve at the gym ... his face seems familar.

Time for us to hit Cuba it seems.

greekblondechic · 06-14-2004, 09:15 AM

I agree w/ NT, Jilly you look really nice in your bikinis, I was pleasantly surprised. You look great sweetie! Up that confidence NOW, that's the only way things will change. I am working on it myself, actually starting to see the world in new ways, its great.

shortstuff · 06-14-2004, 10:47 AM

Jill You are soooo cute, glad you had a great trip, sick of being home yet??? Glad to see you back

Jill · 06-14-2004, 03:35 PM

Thanks for all your nice comments peeps!

I guess we are hard on ourselves.

I have set some goals, and am in the process of changing old ways and bad habits, and cant wait to see the changes!!

My next step is to see a nat doc, cause I am pretty sure I have candida-I have all of the symptoms. All my tests with my reg doc (blood) are ok. Im planning a vega test next. Ive also discontinued the bc pill.

JLB001 · 06-14-2004, 08:41 PM
