Hey Peeps!

Today is Midsummers day and Justin and I came back from celebrating Midsummers eve a little while ago. We went with my sister and her boyfriend to his summer cottage by the ocean, along with two other couples. Lots of food, alcohol (I was pretty much sober, but some weren't ) and traditional celebrations. We had a great time!
Today is the last day of cheats, tomorrow starts my 44 day of clean eating countdown. That's the best way of doing it, banning ALL cheats, not even a cheat day for 44 days I know I can do it, I've proved it before So starting tomorrow it's serious business On Monday we're starting Gopro's program, so that'll be fun! I'm not going to follow his program for my legs, since I don't want them more muscular. They don't really look all that muscular in my pics, but I swear, there is plenty!

Guidelines for the 44 days are:
- No Cheats!
- No almonds, nuts (not that it's bad really, but I've binged on it in the past)
- No bread ( )
- Fruit limited, maximum of 1 day

That's all I can think of right now, I'm sorta distracted cause the Soccer starts in a few mins Will write more later

Happy Midsummer all!!

Hey, just found this journal! Glad you had a great time in Greece, but where's my postcard? J/K. You'll like GP's program, I'm starting it again on monday also.

That looks like a great apartment, do you share it with other people?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Hey Jenny!
Everything looks great in here, as usual

I bet you're so excited for your U.S. experience to start! It will be interesting to hear your take on the States when you get here. I'm sure you will meet lots of wonderful people, you have a great attitude about life and people appreciate that in any country.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is just a habit.

I am worth it!

Jenny

Burner, thanks buddy Yep, NO cheats! I made 53 days earlier this spring and it changed my body lots, so I KNOW I CAN DO IT Justin will cheat, I don't mind, that just make me feel like I'm even stronger

Stacey, I'm glad you got the postcard I hope you can read my hand writing, I was sitting by the pool in a really uncomfortable position, so the txt might have turned out a little funny

Rock, glad you found it Aww, no postcard for you? Well, why don't you PM me your addy and I'll see what I can do

Shelley, hey girl! Things didn't look very good over midsummers I'll tell ya But I'm back on track today, and won't go off until it's time to step on the airplane Thanks, I think I'll have a great time too, it'll be great

Jenny

Sweden lost against Holland yesterday in the European Cup in soccer We did a great game and lost it was 0-0 through the game, 30 mins overtime and then over 5 penalties each. Then on the 6th penalty shot Holland won, it was a tragedy I'm over it now though, we did a great championship and I'm very proud of our boys

I really like your plan about the no cheats-thats how I feel. I just dont wanna cheat WHy mess up some a good thing. I also have cut out breads, which is super easy, and one serving of fruit in the am. Good luck with all your goals darlin, you dont really need it cause you once you set your mind to something you always follow through!

Holland beat Sweden? Steve was happy, he's 1/2 dutch! He actually went a few weeks ago and bought the 'orange' jersey to wear while he watches the games! Hes obsessed with soccer I sware!

Jill

Oh ya, just cause someone next to you cheats, doesnt mean It should affect you. I see Steve eating pasta, bread with butter, potatoes, milk and protein, bananas, and 4-5 servings of rice at a time, on a daily basis! All while sitting right next to me!

Hey Everyone! I just figured I'd drop a quick note and Jenny wanted me to write so you guys dont think she killed me and stashed my body somewhere. That works... unless she tortured my IM password out of me first

Nah, I'm here in Sweden and having a great time. Midsummers was alot of fun, that drunk person she was referring to was me We dont have to talk about that though! It was great and the area was really beautiful. We had late jump in the water and let me tell you, that water was chilly.

Today we have just been relaxing and Jenny finished up reading Tuesdays with Morrie. She enjoyed it and I've enjoyed talking about it. Anyhow, I hope you are all well and having a good Summer. Take care!

Jenny - Wuuuv wou

Jill, I know, it doesn't affect me It used to, I used to be all grumpy thinkin "it's not fair, I wanna eat like that too " But, sooner or later we need to accept who we are and what we need to do to be where we want to be Justin had hot dogs with my parents today and I had some veggies
And about the Holland game, I don't like Steve anymore

Justin, I like sitting here in your lap typing while you have your arms around me I love you

B, I know, I wasn't very happy about them winning That chicken sounds good!

Burner02

well, someday...when y'all come out here a few days of glorius rocky mountain snow sports..I will womp y'all up a batch of chicken and rice!

The way I look at things now is that when you eat crappy, you are not being fair to your body. Rather than thinking, 'Im depriving myself If I cant have those cookies.' I think, 'I am depriving my body when I eat junk. Depriving myself of a healthy weight, attractive appearance, happiness, and peace of mind'. That I learnt from the Dr Phil book.

Jenny

B, that sounds like some perfect snowboard food I plan to do some snowboarding over my exchange year, it's been too long!!

Jill, that is good advice It feels so good not to have food have any power over me anymore, it's really liberating! Dr Phil is a good man

Jenny

My sister's boyfriend is on the Emergengy unit right now with my sis, they went there last night cause he's been having major headaches and swollen glands. Well, turns out he's got mononucleosis My sister will probably get it too since she's been kissing him lots. I tasted his drink on the midsummer party and I could have been infected too. I hate sounding selfish and worrying about my own health, but it would be so damn hard getting that when flying over to the states and starting a new life there, I would be knocked out for weeks and out of the gym for months. I guess I shouldn't prepare for the worst right now, just see what happens. I hope he'll feel better soon and that my sister didn't get it!

Jenny

Legs are so sore after my home leg workout yesterday Those frog jumps are killer Didn't get enough cals yesterday, I was busy reading good books and stuff. Read "Tuesdays with Morrie", it's really good. Anyone who has a trouble finding the meaning of life should read it
Read some more about Mono online and it's not very likely at all that I got it from drinking out of Fredrik's glass, so I'm going to stop worry about it. Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon and my sis will be fine too.

I had a nice powerwalk this morning. My alarm rang at 5 AM, but I must have fallen back asleep right away, cause a second after it was 5:25 Justin was okay with getting to work 30 mins later (we have flex hours), so I still had time to walk Throat hurt a little bit still, but I'm getting better At least that can't be mono, cause that take 4-6 weeks to break out. Tonight Justin and I will have our first Gopro workout, chest and triceps

You're right Rock, I do have a great guy to take care of me. But I would still risk getting fat, which would lead to me eating less, loosing muscle and ugh.. I don't want to think about it Thanks though
