Velvet · 10-01-2004, 07:47 AM

I posted my workouts yesterday

Water 5.5L

Meals went as planned
except I added 95 cals in extras (sf jello, sf popsicles)..so I'll burn that off on my bike tonight..all is good

DAMNIT..I cooked 6 chicken breasts ($15 worth) last night, set them on the counter to cool before packing them away in the fridge...and then WENT TO BED

Saw them still on the counter this morning...what a waste..bad me

SO now I have to improvise and get deli chicken crap or something for lunch

*whisper* This isn't the first time I've done this

Well today, I feel AWESOME!! Most of the bloating from my weekend binge is finally gone..yee haw...my energy levels are back up (kicked ass doing step this morning) and my CNS is back to normal...wahoooooooooooo...life is good again

I so look forward to my shredded wheat with berries for breakfast..hee hee

Enough about me, how is everyone today?

naturaltan · 10-01-2004, 02:41 PM

I would have ate them

time constraints can be a biatch with hot trainer lurking around ...

Maybe I should say "Good afternoon" in the morning

Velvet · 10-01-2004, 02:43 PM

So here's the thing

Tomorrow night I'm going to a fancy french restaurant with friends and then going clubbing afterwards

The thing of it is.....this will be my first time drinking in FIFTEEN WEEKS...so if you are looking for me..i'll be the chicka passed out on the dance floor with her first beer still in her hand

good thing I'm here and nowhere around you while clubbing ... I would find it hard not to keep your drink topped up.

Velvet · 10-04-2004, 07:36 AM

Good morning All

I had a GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT weekend

Let see, what DIDN'T I eat

I did workout..did lots of cardio, ya know, the traditional kind, the dancing all night kind and then the romping all night kind

A bunch of us went to a fancy restaurant called Chien Noir and I had the spinach salad (vinegrette, roasted pecans, bacon, matoes) to start, with a marguarita..then on to stuffed chicken (spinach and gorgonzolla), with garlic mashed potatoes and string beans...then TRIPLE layer MOUSSE cake with a Lisse Martini (Godiva White choco liqueur, OJ, triple sec, vodka and creme

)

then off tho Brandee's for cocktails and watch an amazing band (singer/guitarist was extremely talented but needed help with his fashion statement - or lack thereof) and to meet up with my 'date'...three double cranberry and vodkas.

THEN, we went to the Grizzley for dancing..dance for 2.5 hours straight (you don't get off the dancefloor there or you'll never get back on cause it's so packed!)...three more cranberry and vodkas.. AND GUESS WHAT

NOT ONCE, did I even get a buzz, damn, thought my tolerance would be lowered by my extended abstinence..but not so..can still drink a man under the table..ha ha

Sunday, I ate a bit better but wasn't strict at all (my new plan incorporates eating what i want, in moderation, on the weekend and includes one all-you-want cheat meal) Bought a new mattress set..wahoo, don't have to wake up a cripple anymore

and microwave...went salsa dancing..my hip flexors are SCREAMING at me right now..and visited my cousin's new bambino!

What about y'all, how was your weekend?

Back to the diet/workouts today

**P-funk** · 10-04-2004, 07:40 AM

Damn, sounds like a fun weekend!! dancing is fun,

Back to the diet/workouts today

Your weekend sounds fantastic! I spent mine cleaning, cooking, getting that manicure I mentioned (oh so pretty! not used to seeing my nails so girly!), coloring my hair (nothing fancy, just went back to my natural color, no more highlights), and a significant amount of time was spent chatting up with strangers on the computer while doing some freelance work-- this will all pay off in a few months, hopefully!

And amen -- back to diet and workouts today, indeed.
