Hey guys! Its been a little while since ive been on here…. Getting a new puppy, refinishing living room floors, and then business trip to Vegas got me a little preoccupied!!! Doesn’t mean I fell off the wagon though!!! ? Been doing pretty well lately. I definitely took a small break from the gym due to needing one and also not being willing to pay $40.00 a day to work out in vegas….. sorry not gonna happen!!! Hehe.

Anyways, yesterday I got back in the groove and I did my 2 mile run…. In 17 minutes flat!!!! ? That is my personal best… a whole minute less than my personal best!!! I really booked it yesterday and it felt AMAZING when I was done!! ? I was very very proud of myself!

Here was my food intake yesterday. Tried to Up the protein… doctors orders!

Am
Instant oatmeal ( plain) w/ mixed berries (260calories)
2 cups of coffee w/ cream and splenda

PM
Roasted chicken, cucumber slices, watermelon, skim milk

EVE
Peanut butter powerbar (240 cal)

Snack- 1 cup of broccoli, 5 crackers with chunky peanut butter on them ( abt 2 tbsp)
Coffee w/ cream and splenda


I think I need to back down on the coffee a bit again… im back into drinking a good bit. Im sticking to no more than 2 cups a day…. That’s my new rule… I do not need all that caffeine!
How is everyone else here? I hope well!!!!! I have attached my August pictures… and I will post later some pics of me in my gown from international conference…. I was pleased with the lack of bulge in the belly this year!!! Only criticism I have is that my arms are still looking flabby. Anyways, ill post those in a separate post!
 
DAMN GIRL!!! You just get hotter and hotter!!!Is your b/f keeping you close, hee hee hee

Im glad you took a lil break from the gym, we all need that from time to time...

Im continuing to putt along, lol, I ditched the guy...realized he wasnt right for me and he went crazzzy damn guys!!!

You and the lil dog is such a cute pic, they are all good ones tho!!!

Cant wait to see pics!!!

Hey do you text???

Whoa, I go away for a few days and there are a dozen new posts I've missed! Nice pictures! No paint brushing this time! :D Looking rock solid hot girl! I see no arm or leg problems at all. You have now been hardcore at this since February, right? Somewhere around then, I can't remember. Congrats to sticking to this and continuing to amaze us with your progress.
 
Awsome pics M.

You are looking great.

You have done so great since you began. Your motivation and dedication is the best I've ever seen. I don't know how you do it.

keep it up lady.....
 
Clare- Yeah I always feel like im going to yack when I have greaey pizza or fries… anything my body knows is a no no… oh well… you gotta live… and its sooo tastey! Hehe
Bmohearn- Thanks for the vote of confidence…. That’s what keeps me goin girlfriend!!
Derrick- well…. That paint brushing was covering up naughty bits… mine are nice and covered up this time around so all is good. I only post these on WLF…. No underwear pics on the web elsewhere… not my thing lol. Only for weightloss accountability. Anyways, yes I have gone hard since February. I took your advice and took a small break…I am very glad I did… I am so refreshed and ramped up the energy levels again… im ready to hit the ground running and I did that this week!!! Thank you for the comments on my pics… appreciate it.
Grey- I love ya buddy… thanks for the kind words. This place and you guys totally are what keep me motivated… and I don’t just say that. I am easily distracted from the road ahead…. You help me to keep my nose to the grind stone!


Alright, so some updates.
1st- Last night I went to the gym and I hit the treadmill first. I have a friendly little competition as I mentioned before with one of my lifting buddies. Who can make the best time in the 2 mile. As of yesterday afternoon his time was 17:45…..so I had to show him who was boss…. And I made another personal best time at 17:33
I was totally pumped and proud of that! Almost died im sure of it…. Lungs may have collapsed a few times along the way… but I did it! So he says he will do 17:25 today… we will see about that!

2nd- Food intake yesterday. It was alright… but I seem to be having problems at night. I think because I started to try to make dinner my light meal of the day. I don’t think that’s good for me… since I work out at night… so I am going to switch that back to lunch…. A protein bar is not enough in the evenings ive found. Anyways, here is my food for yesterday:
Breakfast: oatmeal w/ fresh strawberries, coffee w/ cream and splenda, decaf hot tea

Lunch: Grilled shrimp salad ( mozzarella cheese, yellow peppers, shrimp, house dressing on side), Italian breadstick

Snack: 1 slice whole wheat bread w/ sliced turkey breast on it, reduced fat mayo string cheese
Dinner: special k protein bar, grapes, 1 cup of dry raisin bran
Snack: 5 crackers with 2 tb chunky PB

So hey there everyone! Hope you all had an awesome weekend! Mine was alright I suppose……
Friday I went to the gym and it was legs and abs day… whoooooo. Was I sore then the next day! I actually took Saturday and Sunday off. Going hard this week during the week… gonna bust some butttt! Going to be strict with the diet and exercise for sure. I did have about 1.5 handfuls of fishers carmel popcorn from the beach… damn people bringing that shit back from their vacations!!! Hehe….. hey gotta indulge sometimes ?

Two things this weekend have me a bit bummed today.
1st- I found cooper a good home. Now, that is something I am extremely pleased about…. Fostering a dog I learnedhowever, is very hard. Its so tough to give them to someone else and trust they will take very good care of him. It broke my heart to see him go. My whole goal was to save him from that crappy situation he was in… foster him and get him acclimated to a “normal life” and then home him once I screened a good family for him to be with.
The family he went to live with has 2 doggies like him… ages 2, 5. They also have 3 boys ages 6,4,and 8 months. The mother is a stay at home mom, lives in the country with 1 acre of fenced in yard, and owns their home. They seem soooo nice, have a brand new mini van, hubby was really nice, good job…. Just overall great family. I feel confident they will treat him right. But of course I bawled the WHOLE WAY HOME … it was so tough… he was my baby. But I am not home enough for the two doggies I have… no to mention enough to work with and potty train a puppy. So its really for the best for everyone.

The 2nd thing that bummed me out was a wedding. ( I know im an idiot)….. but I guess it’s that green jealousy monster. Ive been waiting 4.5 years for my boyfriend to propose to me…. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME that he doesn’t want to seal the deal!?!?!? Maybe I bug him too much about it like he says? He says he really wants that, he wants to get married and its not going to be long…. But the fact that I always bring it up and he feels like im attacking him about it…. I guess upsets him. I don’t see it as attacking… I just am trying to get reassurance I guess…..:rant:


But it gets us nowhere but in a fight. So I guess the wedding of his step brother… just kind of had me a little bitter and jealous. Sigh…. Maybe some day.


Anyways, going to hit the gym HARD tonight…. And then its on this week!!! I feel a loss coming on!!! :hurray:hehe
i attached a really cute pic of us from the wedding.... its one of my fav pics of us hehe :coolgleamA:
