Things are looking great Andrea, hang in there, sometimes it's tough getting back into the swing of things.

Good luck achieving your goal body as well---it takes time, but I know you can do it!

But, Greeky, whatever is wrong with the outfit in the big picture?

To put what you said in more "guy terms", yes, she certainly is a babe.

Hey babe!! The gloves worked fine last night. SOOOOO much better than without them so I don't care anymore what they look like. (But I'd still like to have pink ones )

You know me- I'll cheat!!! But, I'm going to have healthy cheats and control them. I'm thinking I'll go two weeks though from this past Thursday until I have my first one. I love those Crab Ragoon thingies at the Chinese place so I learned how to make them. So, my first cheat will be them, except I'll use FF cream cheese in them, BUT I'll still have to fry them in oil, there's just no getting around that. And for the duck sauce (weird name but so yummy with them) Mikah found me a recipe so I can substitute a lot of the stuff for healthier alternatives and have a semi healthy tasty cheat!! Should I go longer than two weeks for my first cheat, and after that how often should I have a cheat? I don't want to do it to often because I still want to loose some weight, but I also don't want to not do it and get bored and have my weight loss stall. What do you think?
Glad the gloves worked hun! Pink would be awesome although I doubt they even make them! You should see ALL the pink stuff I own

Id say for for a cheat once a week.. say a dinner and dessert, something you know that you really like and will satisfy those cravings.

That popcorn sounds yum! I LOVE kettlecorn!! but hun do me a favor, have a little protein when you have it(so its not as high GI).

I talk to you tomorrow hun!

Here's a few pictures from last week when I was visiting my daddy in New York. There's also a pic of my Uncle and my brother. I only get to see them a few times a year and this was the first time that I've seen them since last summer. I plan on posting some bikini shots though to compare to my last ones, I just don't really think my body has changed any since then. My biceps *may* have gotten a tad bit more defined but we'll see. Hopefully I'll have some posted in the next week or so.

Did 50 minutes cardio last night. My hamstrings are SOOOO friggin tight though- I don't know what the deal is. I've not done legs in a while, so Tuesday I was just goofing off cause I was bored and did around 15-20 deadlifts (leg day is on the weekend) and now they hurt!! Oh well, guess that's a good thing????

Thursday

M1: Protein, 1/2 FFSF pudding, 3 cocoa, coffee, water, ice

M2: carmel rice cakes

M3: 1 bag lettuce, 1 can chicken, 1 can mushrooms, 2 tsp. reduced fat parmesean cheese, 1 tbsp. hot sauce

M4: carmel rice cakes (I know this isn't really a meal but I was running super late this morning so it's better than nothing)

M5: 1 bag broccoli, 1 bag cauliflower, 4 tbs. LC terriyaki, 1/2 onion, sliced mushrooms, 1 cup egg whites, 1 tsp. parmesean


CARDIO HERE

M6: HP Popcorn, Protein shake (protein, 1/2 SF pudding, 1/4 FFLC milk)

Hey hun!! I have a TON of pink stuff too. It's my favorite color. I'm having a shake with popcorn tonight while I watch Big Brother. I usually don't get in to those shows, but for some reason I like this one. Talk to you later babes!!!

Good work. Remember to stretch [after]your cardio too. Go for a swim today, it always works for me to loosen those tight muscles unless you're working today like me - You've got real strict diet, where the candy bars!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunatly I'm working too!!! I think I will do a really good stretch tonight. Maybe I need a massage. They just feel so tight. No candy bars for me, but I do eat protein bars despite their bad rap! I noticed your in England, I'd love to visit there one day- do you like living there?

I don't like the twins- I want Cowboy to win!! I think he could use the money more than the others anyhow. I think Karen's sweet, but she's lost her mind!! Drew- he's VERY hot. I'll be trying your pancakes this weekend- gotta have enough time to cook them. How do you think adding cottage cheese to them would be?

Oh you noticed that!? ha.

Yeah it's not too bad over here, not as small and cold as you people across the Atlantic think. lol.

Does depend where you go though, the cities are great for day visits, but the nicer areas are the towns in the countryside. But I got it good though, 1 hour from london, 40 minutes from the coast and in a semi-countryside town!

I'm travelling at the end of the year to Australia, thailand, and then Backpacking form california to Florida, can't wait, will probably keep a journal on this site. I also need to add some pictures to my gallery.

Keep up that diet and lifestyle, the results will be great, i need to stick to a good routine.

Best get back to work 1hr three quarters left, counting the minutes!!!

There certainly is, but there's only so much you can enjoy them though after the constant day trips like i got as a kid. I live very near Hever Castle, you may have heard of it, it's crumbled a bit,but still quite a site.

I wanna see the Grand Canyon!

I've been to the grand canyon when I was younger, but from what I remember it was pretty.
