I'm doing good. How are you??

We did do cardio this am, 30 mins on the bike.....followed up with krispy kremes.
I got on the scale this am before the donuts....I'm up 8 lbs. Not too bad! Better than I thought. I have until Sunday to ditch the bad stuff.

I ate the Krispy Kremes as well....i cant say no to them....i'll be happy when jodie gets back on her diet!

hey...i ordered versagrips for bobby...i got you a new pair also so you have medium sized velcro ones that are easy to put on and actually fit....and i ordered my dipping belt with the chain (they are actually called "dipping belts" and they had them on bodybuilding.com)

They are not open right now. They open at 4pm.


Yes... donuts after cardio. Fawked up I know.

Jenjen..I am just planning to ditch the bad stuff but have scheduled cheats in there along with upping the carbs 1/4 more than what is on the cutting diet. I'm thinking I should be able to maint. the weight I am at that way, plus do a lil cardio like 3 days a week in the am only.

That's the game plan.....I think.

I have truly lost it today. How I have managed to eat all the SHIT I have had today is amazing. I started the day off ok, eggies and cream of wheat...but then lunch rolled around...Pizza, chicken supreme from Pizza Hut. It got alot worse when I left work. I went to the food store....
Stopped by Maggie Moo's for Icecream: 1 scoop Cheesecake flavor with strawberries
At the food store.....2 things of turkey, 1 thing of sirloin steak, cucumbers, lettuce, RED VELVET Cake, a BAG OF OREOS, and a MR. Goodbar. AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I have ISSUES!!!!!!! I am gonna end up big as a friggen house before too long! Oh...had Mexican food last night too. Stuffed myself til I could hardly eat anymore.

Bad thing about this week is that I have been so tired from all the extra junk I have had. Plus my workouts have been crappy too. Lastnight had no energy and my weights were way down.

I almost quit my job today. My manager is being a pyshco B from hell. She came to work today with a hangover and left way early because "she had a bad headache" anyways, our District Manager called aboutt 30 mins after she left looking for her. I was with a prospect looking for an apt. She asked if she left early etc, and I said yes, answered her few questions then hung up the phone. Then about 15 mins before 5, my manager called gripping me out, saying I was short and rude to the DM. I was like wtf? She was pissed her ass got busted for leaving early so took it out on me with that crap. I was a lil short with the DM, only because I didn't have a clue what kind of questions she was going to ask and she was suprised she left early.

Needless to say I am looking for something else. This is getting to be old. The resume went out to severla places yesterday and already had a call back for an interview on Thursday.

I am sorry you had a bad day at work hon. What types of jobs are you looking for?

I can relate to the 'bad' eating thing today. Its was a sort of cheat coupled with a refeed. I ate tonnes of carbs, just read my journal later! My tummy hurts. I hope this doesnt backfire and make me fat!!!

AND it is super hot here-in the 30's. I dont know how you do it. I guess you all have ac, we dont for the couple of weeks of hot weather. Im sooooo hot, hanging out in just a tank.

Looking to stay in leasing apts. just a lil longer til Craig finishes school and decides where he wants to be. After that, was thinking of getting my PT and doing that. That's just a lil down the road like next year.

Bad days...hell, I have to work with her again tomorrow. She yells at me again, I will quit and come home. I don't need to take that crap. But it would be nice to have something else lined up before that. Plus she better not come at me first thing when she gets there with the same bs from today delayed over til tomorrow. I will leave her butt there by herself to deal with prospects and residents, like she does to us all the time. I'm tired of playing that game.

Jillie...only way it will backfire is if you keep eatting that way for days and days. One day you will be fine. You'll feel better afterward too. It's been almost 100 here and oh so humid! when we walk outside, sweat drips in 2 mins. It sucks!

Gary...this complex is looking for someone with leasing experience, its a smaller complex than I am at now, only 226 units, and a small office staff, only 3. It could be a very nice change that I need. The company I am with now is leaving a very bitter taste in my mouth and that is so not like me. I use to love going to work, but now hate it. I do like my other co-workers, they are not happy as well and are looking for other positions as well. Just noone else will say anything to our manager when they don't agree with something and I'm just the opposite, I'll tell her its bs and not bat an eye saying it. I can be very blount and to the point so she takes it as being short or whatever. I can be bad about giving a one or two word answers to questions. I just didn't know what to say to our district manager when she called asking for her. If I needed to cover her butt, she should have said so. So when the DM was asking questions, I was doing the one to two word answers, plus had a prospect in front of me and didn't have time for idle chit chat.

Hey JodieCheesecakonie! I am sorry work sucks lately *big cyber hugs* I do hope u find something better soon! I am the kind of person that cant stay in a job I hate without it really affecting me not only emotionally but physically as well. In the end, happiness is what matters. BTW, weighing 127 would make me VERY happy!



I can do it

I WILL be a size 5.

Aww..thank you Greekie! 127 isn't too bad if you guys knew all the crap I have had this week. Every time I turn around, I am stuffing my face with something. I've had hardly no proteins and all carbs! Too bad we can't come up with a diet that allows us to loose weight and use junk foods to do it. LOL

Ahh...the job, today will be interesting. She starts on me, I am walking out. I think it would be better if I got fired, that way I could get unemployment til I found something else. I don't want to sat much about the interview on Thursday cause I don't want to jinx it. hehe

Sounds like you've been enjoying yourself Scott took me out last night for my bday. I had baked stuffed lobster, clam chowder, bread, calamari and Snicker cheesecake, oh and lots of martini's. It was yummy

As far as your cals, the best way to figure them out it start at a certain number (like 1800) and eat that way for 3 days to see if you lose or gain. Then adjust accordingly. However, with the foods you've been eating right now you will automatically lose water once you start eating clean again so you need to drop the water for a few days before you can actually figure out your maintenance.

I maintain at 1700-1800 cals and I know you and I are similar in height and LBM so maybe that might be a good place to start and of course adjust as needed.

Yes...enjoying myself being Ms. Piggy. OMG...that Red velvet cake was to die for. It was 1/4 sheet so it wasn't HUGE! It was too rich for Craig, so I finished it off for breakfast today.

Now the bag of Oreo's....I picked them up off the kitchen counter...well, there was maybe 10 cookies left. I know I had 8...Craig ate the rest.

Jodi...that is what I thought the calories would need to be at. I'll play around with it some tomorrow to see what I come up with. I'm thinking of just upping the protein a few ounces per meal and adding a few more oz. in carbs. Shouldn't be too hard to hit the 1800 as long as I don't include cake and crap. LOL
I'm not wanting to cut for three more weeks but not wanting to loose weight at this point either. Just have to clean it up this week, probably drop some in water weight too. Its the only thing I want to drop at this point.

Work was good today. I swear she has multi personalites. But still not worth staying.

Sorry, here is my support..........

You have just completed several, several, several weeks of competition dieting and 2 competitions. You plan to do this again this year and in a few weeks you have to start dieting again. You want to clean up your diet as of tomorrow.


































So I will say it again, I HAVE THE DAMN ICE CREAM AND ENJOY IT!!

Oh My Gawd...It's almost 11pm here. They are already closed.

We had so much of that bread and that sampler tray of cheese sticks, calamari, and more bread stuff at Caraba's. Passed on the salad and had my chicken marsala, which I could not eat all of it. Wanted to . The food store does have ben&Jerry's on sale.

I'll save the Baskin Robbins for my planned junk for Sat. We are going out of town to float down the river. Craig said I have to have beer. (I'm a CHEAP drunk, 2 beers, I'm toast)
