You know....those rubber training pants for when you wet the bed?


bahahahahahah...j/k

Seriously, they are like sweat pants but made out of plastic. Have elastic at the top and on the legs, they make you sweat like crazy since they do not breath very well, if at all.

Hmm...some guys would say having the top smaller was a goodthing!

I've always got the things I have bid on ebay. But there has been a time when someone bought something from me and said it never made it. Don't know if it was bs or not, I just sent them their $10 back.

Craig bought, its been here for two weeks. Well, at least it wasn't the whole jar. Only a tsp. which isn't 2 tbs. which would be a whole serving.

I used to take a butter knife, and continually scrape the outsides of the pb jar, then lick the knife. It was the reg stuff, I bet I was eating 3-4TBS at a time! Reg pb just tastes so friggin good. 1 tsp wont kill ya.

Cat...I do those all the time. Usually 10 days, then 1 1/2 off, then 5 more. Crazy crap like that. It sucks.

Yeah, I don't buy PB anymore either, since I am eating a lot more carbs, I have less room for added fats in my diet.. altho I should pick up some fish oil caps or something

I can eat a million sugar free popsicles. Especially if I have different types, like fudgesicles and creamsicles mmm!

Yeah.. as for the bathing suit.. I am practically spilling out of the top.. but I hope it fits fine once I loose some back fat (hopefully no boobie fat!) The bottoms are a size large tho.. I can't have them digging in creating excess rolls!

BTW u r not the only one pmsing! It'll go away soon!



I can do it

I WILL be a size 5.

Greekie....here is the suit I got on ebay. Only thing is...I don't fill the top out too well right now. It was $14 with shipping and brand new.


Oh..sf popsicles....I could eat the whole box as one serving. Don't forget you need to have some good fats in your diet so your skin doesn't dry out or your hair won't fall out. I've been having to add fats back in some, I noticed I was having to lotion up all the time! Try adding a lil red meat into your diet if you like it, good source of good fats. Just get lean cuts.

Gary! You are doing awesome! I haven't popped in in forawhile and wow!

Hope you and the wifey are having a great 4th of July! Please have some bbq for me and oh....don't forget watermelon! I love watermelon after bbq!
Hi Jodie !

You're such a sweetheart!
Debbie will eat the watermelon in your honor, she can eat a whole one by herself and she is just a little thing.

I don't post in here very often but I read everyday. As usual your doing great but sounds like the lack of carbs is getting to you more for this show than the first one.

Looking Good !!!
Happy 4th !!!

Anything has got to be better than eggs and green beans!!!

Today has been a slow day at work. I was so busy posting stuff for sale on ebay! hehe
I didn't shop today. Today is also my last day for diet cokes until next Saturday night. Fun fun

Also trying to decide if I want to stay lower carb until Wed, then go back to my normal amounts. Dropping sodium 36 hours out instead of 48. I dunno...anyone have any thoughts on this?

Tomorrow begins the final week of prep! woohoo! We went to the food store tonight, was not a good thing. I walked around stealing tiny samples. I'm getting excited! Plus I am feleing better and not having so many of the issues that always pleague me the last week. I hate the self doubt stuff! This week is also a short week at work for me. Work until 1pm Wed. then have a hair appt. Gotta be a redhead!! Then Thursday have to go with Craig down to school for an adjustment and for the results of all my bloodwork. Friday gonna shoot with a photographer in some fashion type stuff early early in the morning (still have to see if Craig wants to go), Friday night is mandatory competitor meeting at the host hotel, Saturday will have to wake up with the roasters to begin the carbing up stuff, apply the clown face and all that girlie stuff!

I did do cardio tonight. 25 mins on the treadmill on a 13 incline at 2.9. plastic pants and long sleeve shirt!

No diet pops would kill me too. I try to limit myself to 1 a day, but sometimes it turns into 3 or so. What will you be having on your 2 carb up days???
