Keep up the good work hon!

 

[Stacey]

Hey Jill!! Thanks girl.. no not looking fabulous YET- But working on it. I don't know why I lost that weight?! I'm sure its just waterweight..lol! But I have been working out harder. And doing Lots of squatting..maybe thats burning more calories? ALSO Walking around work like crazy..and not snacking as much. (Just b/c I'm swamped at work) Oh and I started Exenadrine Effedrine free pills last wednesday I think?!

I LOVE My Protein shakes-they are so easy girl --you can just fill up the bottle at work with water & shake it up..taste great too.
I do like the slim fast bars--the penut butter ones with 2 carbs in them. They are good.. A good inbetween meals snack. They only fill ya up for about an hour. lOl. I like them though..and they are cheap. 97 Cents here. LoL

There's another bar I like.. Ummm.. I will tell ya the name later-can't think of it.

Bars are not good to eat all the time..but hell they are better than other crap. Just My Opinion.

 

[Stacey]

UPDATE- Last Night's workout: May 13th. Thursday

Cardio: 20 minutes of step aerobics, and lots of work on my step. Lots of floor work with the legs.

Pile squats with weighted bar- 4 sets of 16
Squats to the floor with weighted bar- 3 sets of 15 Squats to the floor with dumbbells- 3 sets of 12

ABS: 2 x 25 crunches, 2x25 oblique crunches, 2 x 20 V-crunches, 25 reps of bicycle

I felt so awesome after this workout! I even got home late from work b/c I had an eye dr. appt. In the past I would have skipped working out. I was also sore from the previous day..

I have to say I impressed myself.

I did have 1/2cup of chex mix before.. and I was determined to work it off. We were having a horrible thunderstorm outside ALL night.

 

[Stacey]

I am keeping a journal on paper of my workouts now--and this has helped me sooo much on what I do at night.. I even wrote in it that I had chex mix..but was sweating so much that I am sure its coming off of me

 

[Jill]

Great workout!! I did leggies at 6am this mornin!! Do those frog jumps hurt your knees at all? Ive been experiencing a little knee pain lately, I know Its cause I started running again.

Is chex mix sweet or salty? We dont have it here. We have like bits and bites-which are nuts and bolts, we also have cheerio mix, but its salty too.

 

[Stacey]

Thanks Jill!
Wow-- 6am! You rock girl!!! I was first crawling out of bed.

No they don't hurt my knees too bad... I don't know why? You would think they would.

The chex mix I get is Sweet! I Love it. It is my addiction. Its not that salty.. there are a few peices that are..but I don't eat them. I like all the sweet ones..haha. (The brand I buy is HoneyNut)

 

[Fitgirl70]

You Rock Stacey, you're doing so great!!! I think I will have a leg day today. It's either that or triceps!

 

[Stacey]

Weekend Update. Hubby was off this weekend.

Friday night I had a really bad tummy ache..pretty much layed on the couch.. barely got down my chicken & greenbeans. Hubby had mexican food take out for dinner..and I turned that down..said I had food at home

Saturday felt better--we went shopping (got lots of new gym clothes, new conditoner for my hair, and new flipflops, new dumbbells, Hubby bought a $300 basketball goal (CRAZY), and I got new purfume. We were on a shopping spree..it was fun.

Then at the mall I wanted to eat healthy..so I got a salad from this fruitlatti place. (It's more of a shake place..but they have salads) Well I got food poisioning from there..and was sick BAD from 7pm on to sunday afternoon. SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pretty much camped out in the bathroom! TMI!

Hubby had taco bell-so he was fine.
I did manage to workout saturday when we got home from shopping.. it hadn't hit me yet.. and I went for a 50 minute powerwalk/sprint with my pup. About half way through I felt like I had to puke..I just thought it was from the Heat..but I was wrong. When I was lifting weights at home is when it hit me. Yuck.

I ordered two pairs of 20# dumbbells on saturday!! Can't wait to get them.
My gym is coming together.

Sunday May 16, 2004

ate careful today~ Had 1/3cup of oatmeal at 1pm--that didn't stay with me.

Went and tanned and came home. Stayed home all day--So did Matt-he was putting together his basketball goal--and his brother came over.

6pm-- wow toritilla chips (fat free) with salsa. Had about 20 chips. They were plain and didn't do damage to the tummy.

7pm- 4oz. chicken & greenbeans, 1 tbsp of nat PB..(feeling better)
9pm- one choc. chip cookie. (I made them for Matt to take to work with him)

 

[greekblondechic]

Shoppin spree woohoo sounds fun!

I am scared of swimsuit season

 

[Stacey]

Monday May 17, 2004 ( I have been with this company for 7 Years TODAY. Ugg!!!!)

Meal One: grande starbucks coffee (my little reward to ME) White chocolate mocha-- NO WHIP and With Soy milk.
* I have been wanting a starbucks for over 2.5 months or more?! And never have time to stop in the mornings.

2 bites of pineapple, half a peach.

tummy hurts again

 

[Stacey]

Hey Greeky--thanks girlie!! I hate being sick to the tummy. Plus it really ruined the weekend.

I know.. I have to be in a swimsuit in 2 WKS. Ugg!

It wasn't suppose to be a shopping spree- but it turned out that way when we went to the sports store. The basketball goal was not a planned purchase..haha. Matt says its my fault b/c I was taking forever trying on workout clothes..and he was staring at that basketball goal.

 

[greekblondechic]

LOL! tell him its not your fault you want to look sexy for your hubby and he wont be able to fight back

don't eat acidic foods hon.. the pineapple not gonna help!

stick to basics like grilled chicken, saltines, bread

if u have anything ginger, peppermint or chamomile (tea or mints) that helps an upset stomach, and maybe if u have some digestive enzymes?

if u have D.. BRAT diet bananas rice applesauce toast
and drink lotsa water to rehydrate (but not as much if u dont have D)

 

[Stacey]

awwwwww THANK YOU greeky for all The tips!!!!!!!
D is pretty much----almost gone!!! (Crossing fingers)

I only had 2 bites of probaby ( an inch by inch) piece of pineapple..thank god)

Thats right--that wasn't my fault--haha

 

[JLB001]

hehe..forced shopping! that's always fun. Hope your feeling better!

 

[ncgirl21]

Hey Stacey!!! I want new dumbbells now!! Hope your doing good girl!

 

[Jenny]

Aww, I'm sorry to hear you've been sick this weekend sweetie that sucks

Wow, sounds like you had a big shopping spree! I guess money is better now for you, that's great honey!

where are you making a gym?
