Morning Jenny!! Hope your having a good day

. When you cut your calories to loose weight- what do you cut them too? What about maintenance? Trying to figure out how many calories I should aim for and I think we're almost the same height. I'm 5'8.

Jenny · 06-29-2004, 06:24 AM

Hey Nc

I'm having a good day thanks

Hmm, well, I usually eat between 1500-1700 cals, but recently it's been a bit lower. I'm 5'9, so that's a little low for me, especially when I do a bunch of cardio. I would advice you to eat more, but since I don't follow that advice myself I can't really say that

I try to have a few days a week with higher cals to keep my body from going into starvation mode. Right now I'm not really counting cals all too much or following macros, I just eat after my needs (the way I feel etc).
I guess that doesn't really help

But Andrea, I think you look so great already and you really don't need to loose weight in my eyes

Jenny · 06-29-2004, 01:37 PM

Wohoo, I taught such a GREAT spinning class tonight!!

My boss was there working out and she came up to me afterwards all extatic cause she had so much fun! If I'm going back there after the states I'm going to ask for a raise

I worked my butt off, I was so motivated and had so much fun that I didn't feel it

Holy crap, I never realized this was a journal, I clicked on it from the front page.

Anyway, Hi Jenny. The Greek customs I was referring to don't have much to do with food. Although if i think about said customs i generally may lose my lunch.

Stacey · 06-29-2004, 05:02 PM

Hey Jenny! Good Luck with Gopro's workout- You will do awesome!!! I love doing "home leg workouts" like you described. I bet you did feel that! That's a good change up!

Sorry to hear about your sister's boyfriend! I hope he will be okay! My brother in law had that 2 years ago.

Oh- Girl your handwriting was cute on the card!

Have a great day!

Jill · 06-29-2004, 08:36 PM

Meals are looking great as always darlin!! Ever try making eggwhites like a quiche (minus the cheese and cream) and then baking them in the oven, in a muffin pan? My nail lady does it and swares by it, she adds spinach too.

I hope you dont get the kissing disease!

Ouzo and Raki isn't food

It's strong liquer, very strong

Jenny · 06-29-2004, 11:53 PM

Stace, I'm trying the Gopro back workout today

I'm excited, I was SOOOO sore (and still am) from the chest and tricep workout Monday! Yep, home leg workouts are fun, I like switching it up

Jill, I don't know what a quiche is

Is it like an omellete? I'm open for Egg ideas though

I hope I won't get mono too, I'm pretty sure I won't

Jenny · 06-30-2004, 11:32 PM

Hey J'bootylicous

I loooove the new pics

Did you get my postcard yet?

Jenny · 06-30-2004, 11:37 PM

I dropped a dumbell on Justin's big toe yesterday

We were doing hammer curls and one of my 10kgs (about 22lbs) dbs rolled of my bench and landed on his toe

I felt REALLY bad

The toe was okay though, but he might lose a nail

I went spinning and Justin went home and when I walked home I stopped by a store and bought some Ferrero Rocher chocolate as a guilt gift

He liked it

I wouldn't kiss him right after he ate it though, cause I didn't want any sugar

Jenny · 06-30-2004, 11:45 PM

Hey girl!!! Are you sore from Gopro's workout?

OWIE~ I bet that hurt Justin--that was so sweet of you to get him some chocolate. Your too funny for not kissing him (yet so smart

)

Hugs honey!

PreMier · 07-01-2004, 04:14 PM

I like the program!!

It's fun and new! Justin's toe is doing fine

We're going to do shoulders and abs after work today

Jenny · 07-02-2004, 05:15 AM

I'm thinking about having a cheat day before leaving for the states after all

I won't be able to eat the swedish goodies for an entire year, so I kinda feel like having some before leaving

We'll see, maybe in 15 days or something

Rocco32 · 07-02-2004, 07:02 AM

Eat some rakost!

I still have what you brought me. I only eat it on special occasions.

Jenny · 07-02-2004, 07:28 AM

I don't like räkost that much

Though I like the swedish Marabou chocolate, the best in the world

I'm going to take trips to IKEA in DC to get some swedish stuff when I'm in the US

Jill · 07-02-2004, 07:31 AM

Tell us some other swedish treats you might have! Atleast post a link, I have no idea what these things are!
