WOO HOO! Thanks! I'm psyched! I never really set out with a goal to lift heavier and heavier. Just, you know, to put on some lean mass to help burn off the fat. That's all. But this --- this is awesome.

Before you know it, I'll be dragging monster trucks by a rope tied to the front grill. hahhahahaha!

Good morning!

Oh boy, my quads and glutes are SORE.

On the bright side, there are no hurricanes scheduled to make an appearance this weekend.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Happy October!!! ..can u believe it's October???

I am sitting here with about 10 minutes left before I have to leave for work and all I want to do is sit in my pj's at the computer and catch up on your journal!

Hope things are going well! Saw that you squatted 95lbs - that is awesome! It must feel nice to put 2 of the 25 plates on the bar. I am almost there. I have been told I squat like a powerlifter so I am trying to go deeper and use good form.

Well I gotta go but I will catch up with you this weekend!

How's it going? Whatcha got planned for today?

You know? I'm TRYING. I don't know if it's enough. My trainer has me on 1100 calories. He gave me a pretty strict diet, and normally I got a little over the 1100 or a little more (like 1200, or on rare occasions like 1300-1350, mostly around that time of the month). And still, I don't think i can eat MORE. I feel pretty full after each meal -- well maybe not after a meal that's comprised of a shake, which is why i've changed my mid-morning and mid-afternoons to be a meat and a veggie combo instead. Even still, the calories (using fitday to calculate) add up to what you see. Hell, he wanted me to eat ONLY a serving of protein and a serving of veggies at EVERY meal, but I need some starchy carbs. I think he made it stricter than it has to be so even if I "cheat" a little I'll still see results, but he won't fess up to that strategy, and laughed that I'd even suggest he did that!

I asked him about the calories on various occasions, and he said I am doing fine. I'm gonna wait out the next two and a half weeks. That's when I'm supposedly done with this round of training with him (not sure if I'll take a week off and then start up another round, less focused on fat and more focused on muscle and strength). I'll see where i stand then. The fat is coming off, and the muscles are coming in. So i must be doing something right.

Oh and remember i'm pretty small though - 4'11" and 105lb!

But yeah, to answer your question, I'm a little bit concerned, myself.

Oh and good morning!

Oh, and haha... planned for today --- work until 230, gym at 430, work again after the gym until whenever I'm done with this wretched project I committed myself to, which now I regret because it eats up a lot of my otherwise free time.

TOMORROW - that's another story -- cardio in the morning, and then coloring my hair and doing my nails (THEY'RE manicurable now since i stopped biting them! YAY!).

You?

WAHOOOOOOOO, gotta love doing the girly stuff.

Well as long as you feel good about what your trainer is asking you to do. Just remember to trust YOUR gut tho, I speak from experience on this!!

How long have you gone without biting your nails?

HEY!!! Happy October to you too!

Things are going pretty well now that it's FRIDAY! My favorite day of the week!

The squats - I had no idea how much it was. The trainer put the weights on it, after my warmup set with just the bar, and said, "we're going just a little bit heavier today..." I said, alright... and then I did my exercises and i think after the 3rd round, he said, "you know you're squatting 95 lb right?" i was FLOORED. hahaha! That's like almost ONE of ME I'm squatting!

So you squat like a powerlifter? Awesome!

Whatcha got planned for the weekend?

Oh, besides what i replied to velvet, I also have to start thinking up a halloween costume. My favorite holiday!

Last year I dressed up as the bride from Kill Bill --The yellow warm-up suit costume, that is. Made my costume, painted some shoes, even made the "pussy wagon" keychain. It KICKED ASS. I was going to stain it with blood, but all the supposedly-washable mixtures of stage blood I mixed up didn't wash off completely from the test fabric, so I decided to go as "The Bride-- Before the Big Bloody Fight Scene.

This year -- i have no idea.

MORNING!!!!!

Hi Babs! Happy Friday! Whatcha up to today?

 

[GoalGetter]

WAHOOOOOOOO, gotta love doing the girly stuff.

Well as long as you feel good about what your trainer is asking you to do. Just remember to trust YOUR gut tho, I speak from experience on this!!

I am, trusting my gut that is, partly. That's why I added my starchy carbs back in. i want to give his plan the benefit of the doubt for the 12 weeks I committed to him. He's been doing this for 30 years, with much success with other clients, some of them I've even talked to myself, so I'm hesitant to stray from it too far. Let's see on October 19 how I'm doing.

How long have you gone without biting your nails?

About a month now. They're still short, but they're long enough to sport a french manicure and look girly. My fingers looked like little nubs before. SO not feminine.

I'd stopped earlier this year and was doing great, and then had a bit of a "break-up" situation with a guy and for some reason it triggered this nasty habit again... but I'm back "on the wagon" now

Hey buddy...an idea here...You can dress up as one of the Angels in Charlies' Angels (hated the last movie, but the girls looked pretty good). You have a look now that you can't waste...Guys? Rock? Max, anyone? You guys agree right?
What should you wear? Well, you can try Demi's leather tight outfit, or the bathing suits.....I think I hear Max and Rocky running in....gotta go....

 

[naturaltan]

diet ... I think you're right in giving your trainer the benefit of the doubt. He's been doing it for over 30 years and has success on his side. This was the biggest complaint I had of my wife not sticking to the trainer she selected. Firstly, she didn't follow the diet and secondly, only gave it a month.

halloween ... your last costume sounded great, do you have pics of it? We were in Vegas last year for the O and halloween, and I went as the sexy priest ... nothing much to the costume, a tight sleeveless shirt and microfibre shorts with an appropriately placed cross. I had several ladies wanting me to bless them ... it was a really fun party! It's hard to make me blush, but I had a group of ladies that said things they wanted to do with Mr Priest that had me blushing and Mrs. NT rolling on the floor.

As tempting as it sounds to show off my assets in a skimpy, sexy costume, it's just not me. I'm not like that. I prefer to have a kick-ass costume, or something that is so fucking funny that people can't even talk to me when I walk into the room because they're laughing so hard.

Last year's kill bill idea was somewhat sexy, but not in the "revealing" kind of sense. Plus I still had a cleavage back then, so it looked pretty good with the zipper a little opened and all. hahaha! Regardless, I was one-of-a-kind at the three places I went, and everyone was really digging it. PLUS, I had sneakers on and danced my ass off unlike my sexily clad counterparts with their stilletos and fishnets and all that crap, complaining about their feet hurting all night.

This year... wow. I have no idea. I'm tempted to dress up in the same costume but it's so... well, so last year! And probably it's huge on me now, too.

I had thought about some kind of political theme, but that would be like telling everyone who I'm going to vote for and it will get me in a lot of trouble one way or the other, so I'm leaving that one well enough alone. hahaha!

I don't know. Maybe I'll just cross-dress this year.

Hi GG!!!

I ended up going to Hard Rock last night but for a whole whopping 20 mins!!!

Hope to see you there next week!

I know....Catwoman....Not too revealing but revealing enough to leave things to the imagination of our friends Rocky and Max.....
Seriously though, that's not that bad a costume....
By the way, I am with you in the funny. I once dressed up as a baby. Pampers and all. Ok, I was also thinner and had more muscles, but the chest hair was the clincher....

 

[MaxMirkin]

Why not combine your two ideas, and go as a political candidate in drag. Here are four fine choices:

If all else fails, you can always go as a fish taco.

Not bad suggestions Tony, but personally I want to see her dressed like Alice in Resident Evil 2, with the guns strapped on MMMMmmmm...

Here we go

HOLY CRAP! THat is totally doable. What an excellent idea. But will everybody "get it?"

Damn. Good job, rock!

 

[Rocco32]

Your welcome You can thank me by sending me pics of you that way, I'll bet it'll look natural!

I think most people will get it. Lisa is going to dress like her and I'm dressing like the other chick for Halloween, LOL

I'm seriously considering this. Really.

In teh meantime check out the gallery. I put up a photo of my kill bill costume (trying to look like this). i was hamming it up at my friend's apartment and she took a photo, so that's why I'm smiling. If I had known she was going to do that, I would have put on a "bad-ass motherf*cker face" or something. hahahaha! I would have gone for the "bloody fight scene look" but as I explained, the stage blood didnt' wash off the test fabric as expected. It was too much of a mess to go party in.

 

[Rocco32]

That's an awesome pic. I like it. I really do think you should go as Alice. Lisa really is (she kinda looks like her too) and I'm putting on a SWAT uniform like the guy from the movie.

The funny thing is that between the GOodwill and a toy store, I can probably throw together that costume in two hours. hahaha!
