Hey Viv,

How's it goin? I spent a hell of a lot of money yesterday shopping for clothes. Today I have all kinds of stuff to do then I'm gonna hit the books to study for my test. How was the rest of your weekend? No alcohol for me again until after my test. But you'll have to come out for my birthday next month so we can celebrate

Thanks for the words of encouragement NT!

Hey Lis! The rest of my weekend was kinda quiet, went to see a movie saturday and worked on sunday. If you want to hang out and do something other than a club/bar, that is fine with me. We can go shopping! Sure I'll come out for your bday but hopefully we can do something before then. BTW hows your tire doing

Jilly, I bought a vneck sweater, and a button down, and one kind-of button down except it has a zipper. All cute and cheap enough that I can wear it to work and not worry about ruining it by getting a stain on it.



I can do it

I WILL be a size 5.

He's your brother ...

I can't speak for others, but a buttondown shirt can never go wrong.

I'm upset with a friend. I had a big fight with my mom last night again, and I asked my friend to have a coffee with me (today) because I do not want to be home when my mom gets home. First she tells me sure, then immediately after, I haven't showered yet, I'm broke. I'm like look, I don't care I'm all bummed out in sweats and I'll buy your coffee. And then she's like well I'm sick. So I'm like ok, you should've said so before. I just feel like every single time I need her support she is never there for me and this girl is supposed to be one of my best friends. The fact that she needs to shower or is broke shouldn't even be a thought in her head. If it was her that needed me I'd drop everything. Do I ask for that much?

No-IMO if she didnt want to go she should have just said so, instead of making excuses. But, she is your friend so she should be there for you.

Go train instead of coffee

I had a talk with my friend, we are ok now. I saw Shaun of the dead..horrible!

Gym today was back and 40mins cardio. This one guy started talkin to me during deads. What's it with guys paying attention to me during deads? lol And I had the bar on the floor w/ 25lbs on each side, so 95lbs total, and this other guy walked by and mumbled "thats heavy" haha yeah ok.

I had a light frap. I was at the bookstore with starbucks in it. I got there ok, but when I sat down, I suddenly wanted to sleep. I couldn't drive anywhere, I knew I had to eat something and soon. I weighed the options, I figured the light frap had enough sugar to bring my levels back up without being overkill, but I am still mad I had it, I didn't even want it, seriously.

Velvet, here the bookstores that have the Starbucks in them are called Barnes and Noble. I don't usually buy anything, I like to sit and read the fitness mag's

Dalila, so many years of school kinda turned me off to reading. I want to get back into it, I like self help books and girly books. As for being strong? I never really thought I was, but I guess I don't really have anything to compare myself to

My back is soooore today!

m1: 1/2c oats 1c all bran 1c lf milk coffee w milk, straws
m2 turkey on 2 slices lt mg
m3 trioplex bar
m4 chix salad, coffee w milk
m5 F1 w lc milk

i hate how PMS makes my appetite crazy

Hi Viv.

Hey I know you had called me yesterday. I was running around and had to drive my grandmother all over God's creation! If I would have known I definitely would have went for coffee. Any time you need to do something like that gimme a call. Just leave me a message if you get my voicemail that you wanna talk. I'll definitely work it out to come out with ya. I'm a good listener and give good advice. About the mom issues, I've been there. I did not talk to my parents for a while growing up, more than once over some things. Although we are way passed that, I can still give some advice.

Hey Lis.. When I left that message I was still in an ok mood and I was just asking to hang out, but it is really sweet of you to offer to be there for me even though we just met. I will keep your offer in mind, thanks sweetheart. BTW, the same goes for you as well, if you ever need anything just call, I can give advice even though I'm really bad at taking my own

I need coffee so bad My lower back is really sore, but not my upper back. Ever since I introduced deadlifts, I can't really do much in the rest of my back workout. I guess that's normal, but I dunno. I have these bruise type marks above my knees. Well, they are more like broken blood vessels-like a hickey type mark. I must've hit my knees with the bar a little too hard, as I try to keep the bar as close to my legs as possible (how I was taught..hope it's correct)

I have hickeys above my knees from my date at the gym

LoL, NT, I guess my point was is, I expect my whole back to be sore after back day. My lower back is really sore, and my upper back is only starting to feel a little sore. I was trying to figure out if my upper back is not getting worked enough bc I am tired by the time I get to it

Viv, I've noticed you always feel like eating more for meal 1, that you always seem hungry still .Why don't you add like 6 egg whites so you'll get some protein, I bet that will help

Maybe your lower back is sore-er because you've just began training it. And you have always been training your upper back.

Steve was playing around last night and gave me this tiny hicky on my neck. I was PISSED when I noticed it this mornin. He was just playing, but still.
