BabsieGirl's .....Shaping It Up.....

BabsieGirl · 07-28-2004, 01:11 PM

Hello

It's been a LONG time since I've journalized (not by choice) my thoughts, goals, meals and supplement. I'm struggling with Endometriosis, Therapy and have been out for a while. So bare with me.

Goal: To shape it up.

For those of you who know me, I'm a Figure Competitor who has life challenges (not like you don't, right) and, I've decided to take a break from competition for the next year or so. Not more than 2 years though.

My husband and I are trying to conceive so my diet and exercise program may fluctuate accordingly.

I plan to write on a daily basis but if all else fails, posting once a week will work.

Stats will be posted tomorrow morning. Pictures will wait until the end (or when I feel comfortable.)

*5 meals a day (High protein, Mod. Fat and Carbs)
*Walk 1 mile 3x's weekly (been thinking about Aqua training)
*Supplement is: Multi-vitamin & Glucosamine Chondroitin (may pick up later)
*Calorie intake: 1500 daily (may increase if I become preggo)

Lets see....Am I missing something

More to come tomorrow.

There you are ! Hi Babsie !

Glad you are back !

Stacey · 07-28-2004, 10:42 PM

Hey Babsie!!

Glad your back honey! I know you can do this-- If I can, you can

I know it's a bitch having the Endometriosis, etc...but we can fight this together, as I have always said.
You can do this!!!!!

BabsieGirl · 07-30-2004, 12:55 PM

Hi and thanks for the motivation everyone

I took my measurements but do not have them here with me at work SO, when I get home I'll be sure to post them right away. Yesterday was a very tough day for me so I left all things on the DL.

My walking and such will start on Saturday this week. Tonight or tomorrow I'm looking into a gym that offers Aqua aerobic classes. This should be good for my joints etc... until I'm back down to size.

Hey, hope you all have a great weekend.

Hey wifey! Glad your back!!! Your going to kick ass, I know it.

BabsieGirl · 08-02-2004, 08:43 AM

Hello Everyone!!!!!

Sorry I didn’t log on over the weekend. AND that I didn’t post my measurements. Trust me, they’re written down in my journal at home as well. I have them. Just don’t have them posted online yet. I’m VERY sorry I didn’t post them right away when I got home BUT, the in-laws came over to go over “Baby Shower Party” plans and didn’t make it to bed until 10pm. I did however manage to find time to walk. I walked 1 mile Saturday. Didn’t visit the gym yet (too busy.) Wanted to go Sunday but they’re closed on Sunday. I found that odd….but okay. Whatever.

Today I’m going to walk for 30min of my lunch hour and then eat a salad with grilled chicken, onions, mushrooms, carrots & celery. The dressing is, Bals. Vin.

I have a shake twice a day with my multi-vitamin and Gluc. Chondroitin. Last meal is lean meat, Chicken or Fish with rice or yam and a salad. (Same type as above)

I aim to drink 1 gallon of water a day.

If I don’t walk during my lunch hour (Because it’s 89deg. With out humidity) I’ll post it.

EVERYONE…..thanks so much for being a part of my journal. I know I will succeed because I have YOU!!!

Good luck!!!!

BabsieGirl · 08-02-2004, 11:31 AM

Hey thanks DG.

How are you doing?

BabsieGirl · 08-02-2004, 11:34 AM

Okay. Didn't walk during lunch. Rather, I ate my salad and sat at the computer visiting Online Ovulation Calendar sites, etc....

I'm def. going to walk this evening with my chitlins and Boxers. If it's still too hot, then I'll ride my bike inside and jam to some techno or something.

gwcaton · 08-02-2004, 12:44 PM

Always have a backup plan Babs !

BabsieGirl · 08-02-2004, 02:30 PM

ha ha DG, I hear ya. You're going to be fine. Send me an email and we'll chat.

Gary - it looks like you shouldn't be complaining. You look NICE!!

gwcaton · 08-03-2004, 06:51 AM

Good Morning Sweet Lady !
Thanks for the kind words ! Have a really great day !

BabsieGirl · 08-03-2004, 06:53 AM

Okay....So to my "Cardio" last night.

I didn't walk...Kiley wasn't feeling well, so I chose the bike ride (for 25min) instead.

I chose fish to eat as my last meal.

I couldn't log on last night. Something is wrong with my AOL connection and I need to get another disk to re-install. Therefore, I couldn't log my stats as promised. AND I meant to bring them in to work with me BUT I forget my journal. go figure.

Rocco32 · 08-03-2004, 07:10 AM

Are you ever going to put your pics back up?

BabsieGirl · 08-03-2004, 01:55 PM

Hi Rock

Okay, I tried BUT I cannot add the photo from work. I can get into some serious doo if I upgrade any computer with out written authorization and I highly doubt my Mgr will allow me to upgrade Ie Explorer from 5.5 to 6.0 so I can upload some photos. Once I get my computer re-loaded at home, I'll see what all I can add to the gallery

. I'm guessing you're requesting the one where I'm leaning against a tree in bibs?
