"She's a real Goal-Getter, that one..."

[GoalGetter]

The next time I turn on the food network I will see "Cooking chicken with Ivy!"

I basically live off of ground chix and taco spice, covereed in salsa.

Nice to see the cals up ther today.

Hey, anything to replace that annoying Rachel Ray! They just gave her yet ANOTHER show! Now she's got three! $40 a day, 30 minute meals and some kind of celebrity interview/food-related show, something like Celebrity Dish or somethign like that that premieres in November. HOW is this annoying woman so likeable that they give her three shows? Anyway... I digress. Gotta get ready for work.

 

[GoalGetter]

This one's for the ladies...

OK I don't know WTF is up, but my period is late, and it's most definitely NOT a preggers situation as I'm not exactly partaking in any "extracurricular activities" lately. I'm wondering if the body fat drop has something to do with it. It's about 3 days late. I'm still within the acceptable body fat percentage for women, 13.3 isn't BAD. Right? Maybe my body's freaking out? All I know is that I've been PMSing three days longer than I should be, and waiting with bated breath to get this month's punishment over with.

And I know it's just 3 days, but my cycle is dead-on regular, so this is not normal.

I wouldn't make too big of a deal out of it GG, especially if you're not engaging in any "extracurricular activities." I know a few girls who train at my gym who frequently miss their period due to all kinds of reasons. Lower bodyfat %, strict dieting, stress (mentally and on the body), it can be anything.

...and here I thought that I was the only one who found her detestable...
The one thought that comes to mind is what (or who) did she do to get 3 shows....Every time she laughs I want to stab myself in the eye with an ice pick.....
So I had a good sunday, how about you?

 

[fantasma62]

...and Tony very carefully steps around the whole time of the month thing.....

My body weight changes that regularly occur seem to affect my cycle all the time. Since I have been training I am never regular. Just a tip.

Wussy.

Yup, BIG WUSSY

Thanks MonStar. I'm trying to not freak out unless I have to, but it's just really annoying.

Really? You don't like her either? I don't know what the hell it is about her... she just really chaps me. And she's a side talker, and EVERYTHING is "amazing" and "delicious"... and the whole $40-a day concept... yeah if you're traveling by yourself, with no friends, no kids, no family maybe.

The other show that pisses me off (though I have to watch sometimes becuase they have nice veggie dishes, which I'm still learning to cook), is the Low Carb and Loving It. Every time I hear the term "low-carb" it makes me want to throw something.

Calorie Commando (also on sundays, and right after low carb and lovin...) is actually pretty interesting. I've learned about a bunch of susbtitutions you can make to lower the fat and total cals in a lot of food. Mostly stuff I wouldn't be making for myself anyway, but good to know.

I love shows like Unwrapped, Secret Life of, Good Eats, Food Finds, and Recipe for Success (the one about small businesses).

Ok enough about all this - clearly i do watch this channel way too much.

Thanks Lis, good to know. Maybe that's all that is going on with me. My body isn't used to this...

Hey GG! Don't worry about your cycle- it's most likely the change in eating habits and the drop in body fat. I went almost a year without one at all, so don't stress it babe!!

A YEAR?!?!!? Because of training and diet? Or some other reason? I was thinking of going on that birth control that reduces it to four times a year, just because I hate having it. But I am not sure I should mess with nature.

 

[naturaltan]

the missus didn't want to be bothered by that time of the month and is on the depro shot (sp?). She doesn't have the physical side of that time of month ... I'm not sure about the emotional side just yet.

SHOTS

Pills I can do, but shots... I turn into a cry baby! And yeah, if the emotional side is still goign to be there, then I guess I will just deal with it monthly, because that's really the part I want to get rid of primarily - these mood swings! aiiiighhh!

 

[Rocco32]

Well, I'm not going to get into the PMS thing here either. Just back to work and wanted to stop in say hi and see how your doing!

Yeah, around a year. I suffered from an ED through most of my teens. It plays hell on your cycle.

Oh NO!!!

Is that your Joey impression?!? It's working, when can we go out LOL I'm doing pretty fine.

 

[Saturday Fever]

I challenge Rock to a thumb wrestling match for the rights to flirt with Dreamy.

With YOUR grip?!?! NO WAY. Let's have a staring contest instead, I have my tear ducts plugged

 

[Saturday Fever]

Damn! Foiled again!

 

[MaxMirkin]

Damn babe, you got guys ready to fight it out for the right to flirt with you.....not bad for a newbie.

It took me nearly 3 months to achieve the same (unwanted) results.

 

[Jill]

I stopped the BC pill 4 months ago and still no . I still get pms type symptoms.

Diet, training and stress can do that to your cycle. I believe at 12% BF no longer getting your period is normal. I remember reading that somewhere.

I was only willing to fight VAR for you!!! But that was just because I wanted somebody easy to beat up LOL

Hey Hon....


Sorry I haven't been by here today, but this is insane at the office...
Loads of work, not enough time in the day to do anything....lol, I guess that's why they call it work and not "having fun in your recliner".
So, what's doing? I see you wanted a hurricane and got a nice summer breeze....
Next time I'm gonna tie you outside my parents apartment so that you can enjoy the view....LOL
By the way, how do you do it to keep all of these guys at bay? My goodness what fun you must be having...

Back to work I go....

Many hugs...

12%? I thought it was under 10%.

I used to be on the pill until the beginning of this summer, but got off it because it's hella expensive (even with my health insurance). However, even after I have been off it for three months, the first two months were normal as always, as if nothing had changed. But this month... late. I can only assume it IS related to my training and diet.

 

[Jill]

I may be wrong-It may be 10%. I dont know for sure.

hahaha... yeah before i passed out on saturday from the nyquil, I was looking out at the mar de plata and there were a lot of people also just hanging out. I could see in their windows. I felt like such a peeping tom! haha!

working - dude you have a recliner in your office? I have the most UNergonomic setup. In fact I'm surprised my back's not all messed up.

The guys - i don't do a thing! They're nuts. Or lonely. Or just have good taste!
