I haven't been in here enough lately to be caught up with you and I don't have a whole lot of time, but wanted to say hi and wish you well!!:)
 
Hello Curvie!!

You're pretty close to me. I didn't realize that before. If I take a trip to Santa Cruz, perhaps we could take a walk or do something fun. I'm an hour or less away from you. I've never met anyone in person off the forum, that would be cool!
 
Mechelle: Hey, girlfriend!

Hello Curvie!!

YES! Would love that!! You in SF? You like wine? I know some great wine bars up there--or know OF them.
 
Hi! :) just wanted to pop in and say hey. Nice legs by the way... I can't wait to wear my knee high boots again!! Sooo exciting, no matter how long it will be until then, hehe.
 
Brit: Thanks for the compliment, and for stopping by! Thanks, I love my legs!

Quick Update:

At the gym this morning the owner of the club (a local one) whom I see Thursday mornings fairly regularly saw me with a bench press with 90 lbs (total) and was surprised and said only about 5 women could do that (IHO) at the club. I mentioned that I took a buddy's advice (Steve's) with the "heavy weights, 4-6 reps" and he told me that some people get bulky. I said, "Not me!" and he said, "That's because you have a small frame."

:)

Chicks like to hear that (sterotype, sorry!)

Anyway, also this morning my other kickboxing instructor (he's Cambodian but grew up Dutch) saw me doing the deadlifts and gave me encouragement/thumbs up, and I ased about him training in the big room that morning. He said he was doing Cambodian floor-fighting. I asked if he could train me next Thursday. He said yeah, $40

OK! Gonna do it.

Ate great today, did my weights, wine class (world sparklers) and BF's B-day tomorrow/day off work.
 
Hey Val, nice pics and legs! Good for you on lifting that heavy. Did you have a spot? I'm going to give the weights a break (not that I've done much lately to begin with) for the next 2 months and then try to get myself back into them. I truly wish I had your motivation!! I dont think I've ever gone to the gym before starting my day (unless I'm working from home that day, and on the rare occasion that I make it to the gym its past 9am).
 
Your legs look AWESOME! I love those boots too. I'm glad you're doing so well. Nice work on the weights. I wish I could bench press 90... Jeez!
 
Nice new Av, Valerie. You need to get your bf to take a pic of you doing a deadlift -- now that would be hot! And another one of you doing that 90 lb bench press. In 6 months at LA Fitness, I've seen 2 women do a bench press of 90 lbs.

Love how the owner of the gym perpetuates the nonsense about "getting bulky." :) I wish I could "get bulky"!
 
Today!

#1 Thing on my mind: How the hell did I get so much rep?!

The answer: Randy!

LOL!

:rotflmao: Hey Randy you must have a crush on me or something!:rotflmao:

Claud: Thank you for the compliment! Getting up early is actually a struggle for me. But I'm not that great--because while I can force myself to get up early when I HATE getting up before 9 (have to anyway, for work) I can't really seem to eat to much deficit lately. I just don't seem to have the willpower lately. Well, the past 4 days I have had about a 600 calorie deficit combined, but I think I fixed that yesterday! More about that later.

Dee: Thanks! Hey--weights, like weight, is just a number. :) Weight lifting, in my humble experience, is something that gets easier and easier--like running! RATS! I miss running!!

Tom: We've been over this before, if I do a deadlift my big butt sticks out really far and I'm embarrassed enough as it is to do them at my gym when other people are around. Maidenly shy, yeah. When I do the benchies I can only do about 4-7 reps per set, but I do two sets standard, 2 sets incline, and 2 sets......decline? Can't remember what it's called. So what is that, like 6 sets of about 5 reps each? In between I do the tricep pull-downs with 45 lbs or so. Basically I want my arms firm, OK!

Lena NO I need to find some. I'll make it a point to look. Last night in wine class we did World Sparklers :drooling: SOOOOOO GOOD!
 
i'm going to ask someone i know about it and perhaps they can recommend something good.
have a great weekend and happy birthday to your bf :D

Yesterday

Was a long-ass day for a tired bunny.

How am I going to recant without typing for an hour? Hmmmm

OK, I worked very hard, entering data for our sales reps into a spreadsheet (which takes days). Our company is going to get our software engineer to make a program to do it for us soon.

I ate great until wine class--we had world sparklers and they were delicious! I loved this Italian sparkler best because it was slightly sweet. I LOVE sweet wines and sparklers--the rest of the world seems to like them dry as dirt.

A girl brought in chocolates--I had FIVE.

Once home, I spent hours making white chocolate crème brulées--and while watching them, I spent hours awake. I was up from 6am and went to bed at 2am. This is all bad. It was no wonder I had the munchies that night. I was bad and did not have a hearty dinner (although b-fast and lunch were wholesome and healthy) and instead snacked on chips and salsa (from my BF's dinner), white chocolate, and had a fake chicken tender at 12:30am. I was still hungry the whole time because I didn't eat to full at all, but the calories (which I'll count in a bit) must be high anyway. I doubt that I went over because of my activity, though.

At midnight was my BF's 23rd b-day, and he was passing out on the couch, curled up in my arms. We discussed it, then I threw him over my shoulder and carried him to bed--on the way through the kitchen I actually had to stop for my housemate to spank him 23 times, and I also had a flight of stairs to go down :eek2: Once in bed, I pleasured him to satisfaction :cool:

Before we went to bed an amazing thing happened. I told him I weighed less than him (mind you, the last time he asked me how much I weighed was December) and he was like, "No you do not," and I said yeah, I did. "How much do you weigh?" and I said 140 (little lie, was 142 that morning, almost there!) and he didn't believe me until I insisted. Then he said, "Well, you're getting to be a skinny bunny!"

He didnt notice.

This whole time, he didn't put the fact that I look good with the fact that I lost weight.

Can you say "OBLIVIOUS"?!?!?

Well, he wasn't lying when he said, "You could weigh 10 lbs more or 10 lbs less and it wouldn't matter to me," back when I was 155.5 lbs.

I'm not too shook up by this--what a sweet guy! Weight really doesn't seem to matter to him, unless I was noticeably emaciated or obese.

WOW.
 
Thanks Lena, thanks Beth!

#1 The crème brulées are delicious and came out great! My first time, although I had my buddy help me (cheating, he was a pastry chef)

#2 I AM GOING RUNNING! Dammit, it's time!

#3 Weighed 143.5 lbs--but it's going to come off, I'll see to it!!

#4 Getting of the computer now!

By everyone!
 
Drinking Rombauer Chardonnay right now. Ahhhh! "The Housewife's crack.":)

My BF is being catered to and adored. I have pleasured him, bought him b-fast and beer, bought the wine (he loves Rom Chard) and massaged him--and dressed in my new cute dress. Dinner will be made soon...

I put "moleskin" on my heel and ran in the woods. My cardiovascular health is fine, but all exercises require different chemicals, muscles, memory, movement, etc., so I was not as fast as usual and had to walk fast when running uphill 4 miles into it. But I still ran for 50 minutes. It was a beautiful day today! No work! AHHhhhhhh!

I'm really liking my body in this dress right now. So does the BF. Even though I'm 5lbs over where I want to be, I am amazed and astounded that I look as great as I do at this point. I think a lot of us on here have our goal set way low. And Steve was right with toning and looking good. I feel good today. I'm having a good day. The BFis chilling happily on the porch right now. He's so sweet--

2 nights ago he said in bed, that I was the "light of his life" and his "best friend," at this point. I told him that I don't know what I'd do without him and he means everything to me. This is true, to the emotional extent--but if I wanted to wax pragmatic on the matter I could say, honestly, that without him I'd probably be enjoying myself with someone else. I'm one of those that needs love all the time, and I have a penchant for dating wonderful, caring, sweet, nice men. I just fall for the nice ones. They're the best. I've never dated an asshole before. I just couldn't--loves are for making me feel better, not worse.

Glad to be alive and glad to have someone I love and who loves me.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Yuck!! I'll shut up now.
 
Hey, Valerie, have a terrific weekend. We're going up to Santa Barbara early tomorrow morning, so I won't be back on WLF until Monday. Isn't love grand?
 
yes love is grand! I said this before and I'll say this again, "I'm a spoiled bitch."

BUT hey--life is what you put into it, and I'm a heart-sleeve-wearer. We get hurt, but because we put ourselves out there, we get what we deserve--what we put into it. When I first started dating my BF, I was more intense than him. Then after a year and a half, I started to relax--just as he started getting more intense. Now we're matched. He is such a loving sweetheart. So warm and nice to me! Caring and considerate.

Ahhhhhh!
