Yea I can't wait until winter hits miami. All 20 minutes of it at a cool 60 degrees. I hope I am awake when it happens so I can go outside before it goes back up to 85.

Morning Ivy and Vel!!!

Didn't catch Survivor last night, I did 25 minutes of cardio, ate and passed out!! I was a sleepy little girl. Did 40 minutes of cardio (walking on the treadmill) this morning and was STILL late for work even though I got up at 5:30!!!!!!!!!! I worked out, packed my meals, took a shower, watched tv made my protein shake and still had to put my makeup on in the car!!! And then- to make matters worse, I didn't have time to really put all my makeup on so when I got here this woman I work with told me I looked like I should still be in high school (I'm 21!!!!!!). Oh well, maybe one day I'll appreciate comments like that, but I don't think she meant that in a nice way.

Here's my pumpkin pie recipe:
1 can pumpkin
1.5 cups fat free low carb milk
1/2 cup splenda
cinnamon
1/2 cup egg whites

*Mix ingredients, pour in baking dish, bake for 15 minutes at 425, turn down oven to 350 and bake an additional 30 minutes OR until toothpick comes out clean. Refrigerate over night. I cut mine into 4 pieces (4 BIG pieces!!)

I dont' understand why people say insensitive things...it's cruel...obviously she's just jealous that your so beautiful and youthful

That sounds yummmy..but I can't have milk right now waaaaaaaaaaa..I'll save it for later tho!

Bubba got voted out last night..they tribes were redivided, one tribe has mostly girls, the other mostly guys..so now one tribe is all girls and Rory ha ha ha ha ha..not a smart move I think

Friday!!

AM- 40 minutes cardio (so glad I got this over with )

M1: protein, 1/2 box white chocolate FFSF pudding, 3 tbs. cocoa, cappucino flavored coffee- made a shake!!

M2: pumpkin pie, 1/2 cup cottage cheese

M3: turkey and cheese sandwich on multigrain bread w/ slaw (made with mayo) and lettuce

GOING TO THE MALL AFTER WORK SO I MAY ONLY HAVE ONE MORE MEAL AFTER THIS, BUT MAYBE TWO?? WHO KNOWS??

M4: HP Popcorn OR Protein Shake

M5: veggie stirfry (the usual combo) with eggies!!

*Had a "high" day yesterday. In that book Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle it says that if you are on a low calorie diet that every third day you should increase your calories to maintenance, so yesterday I upped to 2300 calories because my calories through the week are usually around 1500. But, I didn't up with junk food, I had two bags of popcorn yesterday, an extra piece of pumpkin pie and some more oatbran last night, BUT I woke up and figured I'd be bloated and I actually weighed a pound less- go figure!! And I look leaner- yeah me!!!!! So, I figure If I increase every fourth day to 2000 and stay at 1500 the other days, I'll average out at about 1570- 1700 or so for the week.

Opinions???????

I bought it.

Honestly, it's more "motivation" material to me, than something I don't already know or had access to. But it's worth it. He lays out a lot of things in a way that is simple to understand. It's worth having, if you ask me.

I don't know what's worse, being told you need to put on make up because you look like you're in high school, being told you need make up because you need to look more professional (wtf??), or being told, when you DO put on make up, WOW you look great! you should do that more often (as in, you look awful without it!). hahahaha!

It's best not to comment at all sometimes, no?

Actually, I don't have it........ yet. My best friend bought it for me so I should have it by Monday, but she already has it so she told me what it said pretty much. She's had amazing results though and she follows the same guidelines that are layed out in the book. It's pretty much stuff that you probably already know, but I really beat myself up for eating what I consider too much so this book (from what she's told me) just let's me know you can eat and loose.

Yup!! I totally agree. She always makes comments, and sometimes they hurt my feelings. Today, I may look a little younger because we dress down on Fridays and I have on jeans and a hoodie with my hair in a pony tail, BUT she shouldn't comment IMO. Every I work with knows that I lift weights some and I had on a tank top earlier this week (it was a little warmer) and she told me that for someone who works out I looked awful stringy- WTF . So, instead of letting her know that it kind of hurt my feelings because I DO have a little bicep I smiled and said well, I try, at least I'm not fat!!!! That might not have been very nice either but if you can dish it out you should be able to take it!!

I printed it off yesterday and was going to read it during cardio last night....BUT things ran behind so the gym didn't happen and neither did reading Burn the Fat, Feed the muscle.

typically, carb ups are recommened every 3 or 4 day. This is the norm. Instead of popcorn, you should try fruit, yam, pasta or lean red meat vs...turning to popcorn and pumpkin pie.

Your % should be about 55% p 35% carb & 10% fat
