Staying Lean! :)

Okay I am also switching from MM.COM to here. This site is soo much faster!! And all my buddies came here too...so I gotta follow the crowd!

If ya don't know me..here's all about me....
I have been working out consecutively (however you spell that) since I was 16-- I am 22 now..and I have made the gym my hobby since high school!! I love it. ITS JUST ME! And all my friends/family are use to it! If I don't work out..they are like..whats wrong with you!?? I go to the gym about 5 or more times a week...no less though! I have always maintained my weight inbetween 115-120lbs. I am 5'5. Don't know my bodyfat exactly..last time I tested it was low...Like 13% I guess thats good. I see all muscle on me, and no fat..got a 4 pack going with the abs too.
ANYWAY.. I call this journal my "STAYING LEAN" because I just got married on March 9, 2002..I got super lean for this and I want to stay this way!! Everyone has been telling me that girls gain weight after they get married..well I don't believe this..and I have friends who did not gain weight..I THINK It just depends on YOU! ANYWAY.. so I proving this to them!! (especially since my hubby has a fast metabolism..and is thin)

SOOO That's my story! I stay on a high protein diet/ low carb/low fat...that's what works for me!!! (by this I mean..Protein around 125-150grams a day, carbs around 90g. or less a day, and fat around 20grams a day...I do high carb on Saturday and Sundays! and get more fat in those days too.....also I most confess now..that I usually have JUST ONE piece of chocolate a day!! Never has hurt me...and Its my "Stacey you did a great job at work today treat" AND better than a beer..or a cigarette..which is what I use to do... OH-- how the truth comes out in these journals!!
ANYWAY..later everyone... gotta get back to work!
HI FITGIRL70~~

Ohhhh, she's here!!! WOO HOO.....(see that W8?)
I'm so glad you are here. So, now that you're here, what's the diet and training looking like since you've been back? Did you totally blow it out while on the honeymoon? I know I did, anniversary trip too!! But -- in all fairness to the balance of cardio and nutrition, I did work it off
C'mon.....give up the day's events girly



All the glory to God! We have a baby on the way.

Are you ALL leaving me alone at MM.com!?! Maybe I should move my journal as well.. hmm, I'll have to think about it.. Anyway, Princess, glad you decided to keep up on the journaling even after your wedding! I know you'll stay FAB and not get FLAB!

Hey Girlies!! I love this site...ya, Nike Girl get your bootie over here!!! oh the diet went down the drain on the honeymoon. We had a lot of pasta (I did have Grilled chicken and salads though)! AND I had A LOT of fruit..but I had a lot of chocolate too!! Yum! But your right Fitgirl...It all balanced off with all our walking around we did and the bed cardio!! But now that I am back at work everything is getting back to normal! I have been busy getting all our gifts in order..we can't even walk into our apartment!! ITS NUTS!! And since Matt works 2-11pm, I have been at my moms, going jogging with my dog that lives with her..and going through pictures and presents! I am finally going to the gym tonight though! YEAH!!!
Nike girl...I wouldn't leave my journal just cause I'm married....I would miss you girls too much!!

But that satisfies my cravings! AND like that small bite is gonna hurt...I don't think so!!

No, not busy at all. I went to lunch with a friend of mine and she is going to follow my workouts for the next six weeks. We've also decided to start a money pot. Each week, we're going to put in some money and if we cheat on our diets, we have to put in $5. At the end of our 6 weeks, whoever has the best progress and has the best diets wins the pot......kinda cool huh??? BTW -- this is the same girl that I have waged war with at my gym.....lol

Oh, you guys are both crazy!

Princess, I really admire your dedication to clean eating. I need to work on having will power like yours.

I'm glad things are going well for you.

Next question, why does your dog live with your mom?

Good Morning Miss L and Fitgirl!!! How are you guys??
I'm good....
Miss L~ Thanks for saying you admire me..you do very awesome to though girlie!!!
My dog lives with my mom because we cannot have big dogs at our apartment. Shes lived there for 15 years (big collie) and I wouldn't want her to be stuck in an apartment without a back yard to play in! So I go visit her!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
I found out that my Uncle that was sick with the cancer (I talked about him before on my musclemag journal) he died saturday afternoon. So I am really upset about him. But I know hes not suffering anymore. Anyway..I gotta leave work at 2:30 today..and go to my aunts in Brenham..and the funeral is in the morning. Soooo I will play catch up with you girls on Wednesday!
Take care!

Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle. But like you said, you know he is in a better place. And isn't it great that you got to see him on your wedding day? What a special memory that will be for you.

I understand about your dog. Dixie is only 10 pounds, so she is a good apartment dog. We plan to either get another Dachshund when we get a house, or to get a bigger dog. Either a collie or golden retriever. Those dogs are so sweet!

We'll be thinking about you. Hope you are doing well.

Stacey....honey, I'm so sorry about your Uncle. I know that he is looking down on you and watching over you at all times still. When I pray and talk to my father-in-law, I will have him look out for him. I know he is in a better place where there is no pain and no sorrow.
I'm here if you wanna chat. I know how hard it is to lose someone you love.
Hugs and Kisses sweetie
