I'd go with gel nails, acrylic are really hard on your nails. I've had both and the gel nails look much more natural, IMO 
I'm really going to try to have my own natural nails, with just a french manicure. That is, if i haven't chewed them to pieces because i'm so nervous and stressed out by then! hahaha!

That's why I got the gel nails, I could grow my own, but I was always picking them down to nothing and my fingers were always soreGoalGetter said:
Workout - March 21, 2005
Legs - Heavy
Squats
RI 60
165/4 x 2
155/4 x 3
notes: I don't know wtf but I could BARELY get myself back up from the squatting position after the 3rd one of the second set. To the point that I felt like I was going to hurt myself. And I still went back down for the last one of that set. And again... I thought I was going to blow my asshole out or something. So I took off a 5 from each side. No sirree.. This lady does not want hemorrhoids. Hahahaha! I seriously dont' know what the fuck. 165 was awesome last week. This week, it was like trying to lift a mack truck on my shoulders. I feel like such a loser. Let it be noted however that because i felt like such a pussy for taking off weight, I added an extra set.
SLDL
RI 45
135/5 x 4
notes: THIS one I did with fair ease and panache...
I added an extra set, even.
DB Step Ups on Bench

Other notes: Inspired by a bunch of competition videos i was watching online this weekend, since I now have to prepare a damn posing routine for the competition, I decided to see if I could do those cool pushups wiht one leg up in the air. I shouldn't have done them today, since I'm working upper tomorrow, but what the hell. Turns out, check this out. I did 8 with my right leg up, and then 8 with my left leg up, and then I did it again! Holy crap! 32 pushups with one leg on the ground. My back was perfectly flat, my chest touched the ground on almost every single rep. Honestly, this more than made up for the shitty squatting fiasco with which I started today's workout.
And it's not even like I have to include these in my routine, but it's nice to know I can do them! They look nice!

Just some thoughts, as I enter my 10.5 week mark (which now has become my 13 week mark since I changed comps, but still)...
Dieting is fun to me. It is a challenge, and as such, it is fun. it is like a game i am playing against myself. A "let's see how long i can go without fucking it up" kind of game. And so far, I'm winning. Big time. Even the things I'm 'allowed" to have, like coffee, gum, and diet soda... sure i've had a few but not as many as i had when i wasn't officially cutting. It's like i know i have to be damn serious and i am. This is farking amazing to me. It feels easy.
For example, the birthday cake yesterday was not even a problem. I stared it down, and then eventually moved with my diet food to another area where i didn't have to look at it's lovely, moist and golden, spongelike texture, and creamy chocolate frosting. The first sight of the cake sent my mind racing, and all I could think about for the next 10 or 15 minutes was diving head first into that cake.
But as quickly as my inner child did a happy dance, I regained my composure and focus. I am cutting. I am on a mission. I have a goal. Cake is not part of the road to this goal, therefore, cake=bad. Cake=I lose this game. And just like that I stopped wanting the damn cake.
In much the same way, i have passed up various tempting food items in the past week. Items I might have at least sampled had I not been on a cutting diet. Cookies, muffins, flan, brownies... Yet I have solidly stuck to my chicken, turkey, brown rice, oats and sweet potatoes.
I am unphased. I am unstoppable. The coolest thing about dieting this seriously is that the longer I go without screwing up, the more motivated I am to keep it that way. I'm like the Ken Jennings of contest dieting! Then again, he eventually did lose Jeopardy... if you consider walking away a millionaire, 'losing' that is. hahahaha!
ok. i am delirious. i'm going to bed now. i will re-read this in the morning and wonder what the hell i was thinking.

THANKFULLY i don't have a client until 9. WOW.
oh and i had this funny-ass dream...
P was yelling at me to stick my butt out, but I wasn't really trying to pose. i was just standing there in front of the mirror (apparently doing nothing?), wearing jeans and a t-shirt and he was like, "NO! You have to flare your quads and stick your butt out!!!! You're doing it wrong!"
But I just stood there with this blank look on my face, and apparently utterly confused. It was so frustrating in the dream, but I woke up laughing my ass off.

Oh okay, now you've just gone too damn far, you are obviously suffering the effects of low carbs and decreased seratonin levels.
Seriously, congrats on finding your groove.

Thanks Michael...Archangel said:Hey Ivy, Sorry your havin a bad day. We all have 'em
you know what? i think part of what has me down and could possibly be affecting me indirectly is that i want so badly to hear back from that gym telling me i got the job. they haven't made a decision yet. i called this afternoon to find out. they said in the next few days and that they won't leave me hanging. will call me regardless to let me know.
That in and of itself has me in pieces. i need to know. i need to move on and out of ballys. I know that come MAY i will have a job at another gym but that place hasn't opened yet and a lot can happen between now and may...
OMFG! THAT IS SPECTACULAR! especially that sofa-length ottoman with the orange panel/cushion in the middle! wow!PreMier said:You almost have the pullup.. what if you tried it before chins?
Or would you rather talk about furniture instead?
As for my pullups - i had it last week!!! I HAD ONE! But yes, i did do it before the chins that time. good call.
Yeah, waiting sucks!!! I still have faith, IF they want the best persone for the job, then they will pick YOU!!! Take care and keep that chin up little trooper
