Hey Girl! WoW You are doing SO Awesome!!!! Sorry I haven't been around-- Looks Great in here!!

Oh- I have that Lipoderm-Y stuff and it rocks- I know that Jodi & Leslie and others have used it with great results!!!!

Have a Great day!

 

[ncgirl21]

Hey girls!!

Jen- I'll gladly add in the peanuts. I'm so proud that I've been controlling myself with them- peanuts use to be a major weakness!!

Hey Stacey!! How have you been? I think I might try the Lipoderm stuff, how does it work? Just one area at a time?? How's things at work going?

 

[Stacey]

HEY! Yep Peanuts are my Weakness too! I haven't had any in a week

Things are as good as they can be at work, thanks for asking. I'm making the most of it!!
You can put the Lipoderm anywhere you want- (at the same time) You just rub it in like lotion to your skin. Its cool.

 

[atherjen]

Id eat the entire jar of peanuts if they were around me! but surely add some in! haha

Stace, how long did you use the Lipoderm for?

 

[ncgirl21]

Where did you buy it at?

1: 1/2 cup LF cottage cheese, 3/4 cup fiber one, 1/2 cup egg white, 10 peanuts

Well, this has been a weekend from hell.

Friday, went as planned. I worked Saturday, and to make a long story short, my boyfriend got extremly drunk Saturday afternoon and came home about 7:30 and started breaking stuff in the house and busting up the outside. He's had a history of drinking problems, and he promised the last couple times that he wouldn't get so bad anymore............ but he did, and I couldn't take it so I told him he had to go. We're broke up now and it hurts so bad, but I know it's what I've got to do. I'm too young to have to put up with someone with such a bad temper.

So............... meals sucked! Saturday I ate meal 1, 2, and 3, that's it. Yesterday I managed meal 1 and 4. I stuck to the low/no carb thing both days, but I know I didn't eat enough.

Today I'm trying better. I've got everything packed but I just don't have an appetite. I've got a mid-term tonight that I'm scared I'm going to fail, and three assignments that I've not begun to have time to do. Travis has called me fifty gazillion times and I've not had any sleep.

So.............

Meals for today: (high)

1: 1 cup lf cottage cheese, 1 cup fiber one

Weights: back and biceps

2: salad w/ 1 can tuna, soy crisps

3: 1/2 cup (dry) oatmeal, protein powder

4: who knows?? chicken and green beans probably, maybe an apple. I'm so uhh feeling, like if I eat I'm going to but I know I have too.

 

[Jill]

Cheer up sunshine! Do whats best for you, thats what matters. I know you may hurt, things WILL get better over time, I promise. Just take things day by day. Try not to let emotions interfear with your food, I know its hard. Atleast your not binging on crap.

Keep you head up! If you wanna chat pm me! Have a super day! We are all here to support you.

 

[atherjen]

awwww Andrea! I am so sorry to hear that hun! I think you made the right choice though, you have to look out for yourself first. I hope that in the end things can be worked out or else you can recover, I know it tuff! We're here for ya girl! hang in there! Im sending you all my love!

dont worry about this weekend and the lack of food. like Jillybean said, at least you didnt go wild on bad foods. just try and eat what you can today to make up for the loss! just think of how good that cc and pp would be tonite!
hope you have a great workout hun, maybe that will help relieve some stress! If you need to talk let me know!

 

[ncgirl21]

Oh, this has been just such a shitty week!!!

I had planned on going back to the Y yesterday, but it just didn't happen!! I'm going today no matter what!!!

My meals still kinda have sucked, but I'm getting better. Yesterday I had a salad w/ 5 oz. chicken, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup fiber one, 2 carrots and a few soy crisps.

Today so far I've kept my breakfast down (1/2 cup cc and 1/2 cup fiber one w/ 7 peanuts). I'm going to do legs today and I've got a body sculpting class tonight.

Things are still pretty shitty with Travis. He's saying he's going to go to counseling and what not, and last night when I got home he had stopped by and put flowers all through the whole house (we're not staying together though). I want to believe that he will change, but it's happened so many times that part of my is just not convinced, and I'm scared that if I let him come back and it happens again, I won't tell him to leave I just don't know what to do

 

[Jenny]

Aww, sweetie I'm so sorry about the break up That really sucks.. I think you made the right decision and I think you should stick to it. You don't need that in your life. Tell him to get into counseling and prove to you that he'll change, then you might think about it. You need to think about yourself and your future and he's putting you in danger, which you can't do to yourself..
PM me if you want to talk honey

 

[Jenny]

Oh and sweetie, don't worry about diet right now, just try to make healthy choices

awww sweetie dont worry about the slip ups right now. if youve come a lil bump in the road. things will get better, promise. they always do in the end. just stay strong and do the best the you can with everything. thats all that matters.
Im sending a million bear hugs your way!
Its good to hear that Travis is willing to get counceling and trying tochange, that shows the he truly cares about you hun and wants to make it work. like Jenny said, put yourself first and do what is best for you and make him be the one to prove he can change... it will take time but is he is serious about it, things can happen. people always say that a person cant change.. I dont believe that, I have seen it myself. Have faith and let time play its course. and in the mean time, just do everything for yourself!!
Hope you have a great day girlie!

 

[ncgirl21]

Thanks Jenny and Jen- it feels good to have support . I just feel so lost right now. I'm scared to take him back..... but I'm scared not to too.

I went to the Y- I have absolutly NO strength. Last week I was able to do 190 on the leg press, today I couldn't even do 170 10 times . I just felt so shitty being there I left! I did the leg press, seated leg curl and leg lift and SL DB raises and then I left, I just felt so depressed.

Travis is acting like he's so depressed one minute and then like he doesn't give a shit the next minute. I just can't handle this.

 

[atherjen]

awww hunny dont worry about your strength not being there. you have been having a ruff time. totally understandable.
hang in there hun, you may feel lost now, but Im certain things will work out someway or another! even if it seems like it wont now.. it will
and you always have all our support girlie!!

 

[ncgirl21]

No class last night, long story, but of course it involves Travis and things just keep getting worse.

Yesterdays meals: CC and Fiber one w/ peanuts, apple, protein shake..... I tried to eat some chicken/rice/veggies but after two bites I threw up so I just said screw it!!

I'm going to the Y at lunch today again. I'm going to do some upper body exercises- try to get in as many muscle groups as I can since I missed so many workouts this week. I've not done cardio one time , but I've hardly been able to eat either and have had very little energy.

 

[atherjen]

Hey hunny!!! How are things going? I been thinking of you! Hope all is well!

 

[Stacey]

Hey girl!! How are you??? Is Travis your boyfriend?? I hope all is well with you! I am here for you if you need to chat!!

 

[ncgirl21]

Hey girls Hope all is well with ya'll. Yes, Travis was my boyfriend but we've had a lot of problems. I guess if it's meant to be it will be ya know??

I'm doing better though:

Meals:

1- 1/2 cup fiber one, 1/2 cup cc, 6 peanuts, 6 soy crisps

2- lots of broccoli and carrotts (equaled 4 servings veggies), 1 can chicken, 5 peanuts

3- protein shake

4- 1 cup egg whites, 1 cup cabbabe,

Workout: back and biceps, 30 minutes steady cardio

(I'm trying to increase my meals back up slowly. Meal 2 almost made me sick so I have to be careful what I eat)

I may do some cardio this evening and some crunches and stuff. I just feel like working out, getting some of this stess out.
Travis has done nothing but get me even more pissed off at him , so who knows what's going to happen there, but I'm going to make sure I'll look damn good- whether I'm with him or not!!

 

[atherjen]

Thats the attitude chickie!! Do this for you!!!
I hope everything works out for you soon hun, takes time but hang in there!
diets looking good, try and get back into the routine if you can but dont let it stress you out. small steps are the keys to bigger success!
Hope your having a great day at work! its sooo rainy and gross here!

 

[ncgirl21]

Morning everyone- hope your having a good day. Got a good back and biceps workout in last night and then did 30 minutes of cardio.

Meals today:

1: 1/2 cup lf cc, 1/2 cup fiber one, 5 peanuts, 5 soy crisps

2: broccoli/carrots/cauliflower = 4 servings veggies, 1 can chicken, 1 cup cabbage

3: protein shake (I got some new protein- yummy )

4: egg whites, green beans or broccoli

Workout: hamstrings, calves (may do some ab work tonight or a little cardio , it helps clear my mind to stay busy.

I may also add in another protein shake w/ a few peanuts

 

[Stacey]

Hey Girl, I'm sorry about Travis and him making you pissed off!!!! That sucks!

You do have the right attitude though, keep it up! & Your meals look good & yummy!! What kind of protein did ya get??

 

[ncgirl21]

I'll check the name of it tonight, but it's chocolate and creamy and yummy and................... !! It was only like 15 bucks for a big container of it too!

How's things going with you Stace- work/baby wise?

 

[ncgirl21]

Workout was good. I'm going to get my legs sprayed (tan) after work. I'm scared to do my whole body, so I'll just do them, hope it doesn't look funny and then I'm going to go to the Y again. I don't think I'll be able to do the actual machines (weight) because I don't want it to rub off, but I'm going to do some lunges/squats and cardio.

I just drank a diet pepsi and now I feel soooooo bloated. I ate my whole lunch today and didn't even feel at all sick.

I think I'm going to have to get a PT job. I was working at a convenience store on Saturdays but Travis wanted me to quit so I did. Now I'm going to NEED the money big time. A friend of mine use to work at Hooters and made really good money, I just don't know that I could do that. Those guys talk a lot of shit and I may be tempted to knock their teeth down their throat. . Gotta figure something out though I hate being broke!!
