Keep with it Katt! You're doing so well!

Unbelievable amount of self-discipline. I hope you're going to spoil yourself a bit while you're away!

You bet I will!!

Well,,, I just ate a bag of m & m's (plain-small bag) and I feel like shit! They totally upset my stomach, probably because I haven't had chocolate in such a long time.....

My workouts are done.... will resume the end of next week when we are back from vaca... a much needed break for both of us, not only a rest from the gym... but a repreve from our dogs too! They sleep on the bed and night and it barely gives us enough room to move! Last time I tried to kick them off, they sat at the end of the bed with their heads resting and whined the entire night...

new journal starting around the 20th of June.... I just need to think up a good name for it....

Have a great weekend everyone!

mmm m&m's, I like the peanut kinds. The chocolate + peanut flavor make an excellent dynamic.

I hate when I eat something that I normally like and it upsets my stomach! Well, now we know how effective eating clean is!

So you're gonna start a new journal huh? When do you start your cycle?

I need a couple days of detox...

 

[katt]

ok, so I'm back at it.. this morning I was in a little bit of a funk,, I'm not really sure why - maybe the fact that it seems like forever since I've worked out.

All in all it was ok...my plan is to take before pic's this weekend, and hopefully after my eight week session I will be able to see improvement

Cals today are around 1400 - still high protein. Lost about 3 pounds the last week, probably because I was out of town and not eating enough

 

[Bakerboy]

Good stuff; glad your back.

 

[Fitgirl70]

You were in a funk because you didn't start the day with a chocolate martini! Happens to me all the time

Tee meeny martoonies!!!

Hey guys, I'm a little behind today.. still need to post my leg workout for Sunday - it was brutal.

But,, I just learned that a really close girlfriend of mine passed away this morning, so I'm a little rattled today.. it was so unexpected - she was a real fitness buff also, so it's hitting me hard

Will post tomorrow

 

[Bakerboy]

Sorry to hear about about your friend katt. Take it easy.
