LOL...Greekie...I thought he would jump all over that one.

I'm serious....there is a naked chick with full bush with a lil stick figure of a man with a lawn mower, as my wallpaper. I need to change it. They (My son and Craig) did it as a joke.

Jillie....thank you! But that wallpaper? OMG. Its so, In your face type of thing. LOL I have no clue where they got it.

They also shaved my son's head almost bald. He has a buzz cut now. Had hair pieces all over the bathroom and in the tub, but they did make an effort to get most of it up.

Then last night and this morning, Nick wanted PANCAKES to eat! AUGH!!!! low carb day for me, not a goodthing to have to make. I did make one small one about silverdollar size for me this morning.

My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

I didn't make him eat anything. He ate them on his own.

All I did was prepare the mix, cook them on the pan and put them on a plate.....what he did with them after that...is a mystery.

Here is the suit after I finished with the stones. These were taken today.

I'm still not happy with how the back of my legs look, still holding too much fat in that area, but there really isn't a whole lot I can do at this point being a week out from the show. I know the last week they will change a little, but my body likes to cling to that nasty leg fat. I'm going to try and put two a day cardios back in until Tuesday with the plastic pants. Maybe that will help some. Still haven't decided on what I plan to do for my last week out in regards to food. Probably keep it the same as last time with the carbs, water and salt, but adding something different in on Saturday morning. I didn't fill back out to well with the sweet potato and wine. I seem to do better with junk stuff like the snackin cake and peanut butter cookies. Its what Craig has suggested that I do. He's just ready for me to be done dieting for awhile. I've been a real bitch lately. And I mean a BIG bitch too.

ok...I am sorry, I have got to vent!

What is it with stupid dumb azz people? One of my "friends" called me this evening to ask me where to get juice. I was like WTF? After telling her three or four times that I am natural, she goes...oh, I guess he;ll have to make a trip to Mexico then, do you need anything? Again....wtf???????? I wanted to yell at her and say, "did you not just fuqen hear what I just said? She thought that since I am in the gym all the time that I would know where to get it. She has no clue! I told her her hubbie needs to get his azz in the gym and make friends with peeps that do, cuz I'm not one of them. This is a friend that I talk to maybe once in a blue moon. I can see her husband now...walking up to some guy in the gym asking him if he's on...gawd people can be so stupid. I guess they didn't get the memo that I have been deprieved of carbs lately and caught me on day three of it.

Jillie and Patrick...thank you! I'm my own worst critic and I have been very bad about that lately.

Today's shoulder workout:

4 x 15 DB Presses supersetted with 3 x 10 front raises
20,20,25,25 15,20,20
Seated laterals
3 x 10@ 15
1/4 laterals
3 x 20 @ 20
WG upright rows
3 x12 @ 60
rev. pec dec
3 x12 @ 50
30 mins cardio on the treadmill with the plastic pants.
Lifts sucked, total lack of energy. Tomorrow I get spuds for my carbs, probably do this Sunday as well, then lower until Wed. (like 1/4c. cooked cream of wheat, 1/4c. sweet potato, 1/4 c sweet potato.) I dunno. Haven't decided. I'm feeling totally not ready for this show, which is so not like me. My heart hasn't been in it since the show a few weeks ago.

I dunno Jillie. Craig didn't want me to do this show, wanted me to take the time off from the other one, but I had already committed myself to doing it. I feel like I have been half azz doing it the past few weeks. Just going through with the motions in hopes that it would hurry up and end. I keep telling myself, "just a few more days." I think another thing is that I know how tough this one will be, that most of the girls will be on, where as I don't do that. I'm craving sweets really bad today, but haven't caved in, I want too, but won't allow myself to do it. We have a box of Kashi cereal and milk, bisquick for pancakes or biscuits, not to mention the Banana Walnut Snackin Cake Mix (2 bags) for Saturday. All of them are screaming my name very loudly!

I've been grumpy to Craig for the past week when he doesn't deserve being fussed at. Sad when both my son and him tell me I'm being a biotch. (damn dietting) The smallest things have been setting me off for no reason. I almost cried in Randall's because they did not have what I wanted for Saturday and I couldn't figure out what to get instead. Ended up with a head of lettuce and a diet coke when I really wanted Honey Roasted Cashews and sirloin steak.

omg...I have issues. oh...I've had 10 pieces of gum in the last hour as well.

Beause she is a lost person and doesn't understand that peeps don't talk so openly about steriod use with complete strangers or people they do not trust.

I'm serious....her hubby will be one of them that we read about in the paper being busted by an agent trying to bring something back into the states. Poor girl would get lost in a coke bottle, even with directions.

Jodie-keep your head up-it sounds like this long dieting has really started to affect you now. Its just a few days away, you can get through this. You'll kick ass at the show, have you looked in the mirror lately? Roids are for cheaters, JMHO.

I have REALLY been craving sweets today do, icecream, I dont know why???? I just feel like eating junk too. I know the feeling about the store-I sent Steve for ground chicken breast and he came home with ground turkey, cause they were sold out of chicken. I was pissed. Its not really big deal but its friggin annoying! Just like this guy at the gym this am. He was on the cross trainer a few down from me, and he was singing so fucking loud, I could hear him through my music! Then, as I was leaving he was walking out at the same time as me, STILL listening to his music singing out loud. I almost kicked the looser. He was getting on my nerves...Im sure it looks could kill he'd be dead!

Oh, about the gum??? I eat atleast a pack to 1.5 packs a day....

Keep smiling girlie, too bad we didnt live closer to one another, we could be cranky, crave sweets, and chew gum together!

Today's alot better than the past few days. Our manager is not at work today so hardly any stress. It's NICE!!!! Plus I have had carbs today!! Cardio this am was 30 mins on the bike in my plastic pants.

I bid on a couple fitness outfits on ebay and those came in the mail today. I hope they fit! They are sooooo tiny! They said medium on the thingie...but they look extra tiny to me. Stacey....if they don't fit...I'll send ya an email about them. I need to stay away from ebay today. I ordered my hair stuff on there, suntan lotion and stuff. I think I am turning into a ebay shopping junkie.The swimsuit I ordered fits really cute!
