Here I am! Rock you like a Hurricane (hehe)

Hey... Hump day again!!! WHOA

Hey guys how are you! I have been well. Totally overwhelmed in general with work and life. I have been trying to just bust my butt at work so that i can keep my job and stay busy.:toetap05:

My healthy living has been fine..... cheated a bit the last 3 days id say.... craving sweets and salts. hehehe girls... you feel me.

BUT, i have been doing awesome with waking up early and getting to the gym. I was up yesterday and today 4:30am and got to the gym. I got there around 5:15... takes me a bit to wake up and get moving. I work out from about 5:20 until 7:00. Then i shower there and get ready to go to work. Clarence was right... it does feel amazing after working out in the morning. I am a bit sleepy today... didnt get to bed as early as i would have liked.... but it was nice to get in there and moving that early.

So far today i have eaten the following:
Coffee ( splenda and half and half)
Carmel nut brownie luna bar ( 190 cal, 4g fiber, 10g protein)
Apple
Handful of goldfish crackers

I need to go to lunch soon to get something decent in my stomach... pretty hungry... but i am on a conference call and stuff haha.:biggrinjester: working hard... like i said hehehe


I am sorry i have been crappy on here lately!!!! like i said just been CRASHING lately hehe get home and i make something to eat and RELAX... so nice lately.:party:


Any thoughts on good ways to minimize cellulite on the back of my legs????? i know its gonna be there... but how do i tighten that shit up and make it look less LUMPY hehe

ladies.... any ideas... or guys hahaha
 
SEE! what did i tell ya! it is nice, the ONLY downside is what happens if you don't sleep enough the night before.... You have a pep in your step until about lunch.. all down hill from there hahaha. well i hope things slow down for you where you can keep your job AND have free time. also isn't it nice to ahve it out the way before your day starts? it makes it nice to come home and just relax.
 
hey i just read your post in my thread. hmm i dno't even do that much workout wise. i only do about an hour a day, and i don't do cardio and weights on the same day. now that i play tennis 3-4 times a week i only do the gym mon-friday, with cardio on tues and thursday. As far of how i lose, i just push myself on the elliptical. I do resistance 10 for an hour. i give my self a distance goal to work towards to keep myself from getting comfortable. I know i can't hit 8 miles in 60 min, but i can do it in 65, so i try to push for 8 in 60. yesterday i got to 7.7 miles. my legs are extremely strong though, so it may be different. I try to push myself without killing myself. Make sure you listen to your body, it'll let you know when you've done too much! hope this helps!

HEHE. sorry clarence!!! I guess the biggest thing is that i can only get aim on my phone when at work so if i get a text or phone call, i exit aim and it signs me off!!! damn iphone hehe.

anyways, nothing else much new... been working out in the mornings and having my evenings to relax or get some stuff done!!!! its actually nice! Wish i would listened to you earlier. The only thing that stinks for me is i cant go home and sleep it off like you can!!!

Good Morning all! :)

Its Friday whooooooo! So happy :)

Anyways this morning i slept in again and didnt hit the gym before work... i was loving the comfyness of my bed and didnt want to get up hehe. I am planning to head there after work though and get my work out on!!!:biggrinjester:

Last night was a nice night. Went to Red Robin with my boyfriend because according to him he just HAD to have it. I subsittuted turkey patty for the normal burger and had them put mine on a whole wheat bun. Still not super healthy... but i made some adjustments to help my cause hehe.

We went to a big pond a couple cities over and hung out with the ducks and gave them our old bread hehe. I love that place... relaxing and sentimental memories from years past. Its always nice to get outside and enjoy nature a bit....:auto:

Ive been struggling a bit with self image.... i mean i know that my weight is going down ( SLLLLLOOOOOOLY but surely) and my measurements are too... but i have a ways to go yet so I am getting antsy. I feel "mushy" still ... i want a rock hard bod damn it!!!!! hehe.

:grouphug:I miss you sooo muuuch!!!:grouphug:

I wish we had some other form of communication, I was gonna suggest facebook but im assuming you wont be able to use that at work either

Do you actually use aim? If so I can start making a point of getting on there.I wanna be in more consistant contact plus ive kinda been bailing here...

I just have so much in my life right now going on...It was crazzzzy befopre Corey, BUT im so happppy:biggrinjester:

Im happy and I can see the future Ive only been dreaming of and never thought I could obtain:beating:He is even changing his facebook status now that is heavey stuff:svengo:

I think taking every two days off is a great approacjed keeps you refreshed adn your body not sure I think that is a good way to go about it, confusing it and not settling into a routine:)

As far as moms gifts, I bought my mom two ds games from wal mart:)a zen one I knew she would love and a sims one as she has stupi9d vista on her comp and cant use sims anymore cuz it isnt compatible.

But i was a little pissed as I spent 65 bucks, on 2 ds games adn a wii game HEH money goes fast now a days!

Im buying granny a potted rose bush for 20 bucks from iga, lol.Her bday was last weekend and i spent alot of money throwing her a bbq bday party and gave her the day to herself withouthaving to lift a finger boy I was pooped but she had a great day:)

I even got my uncle and his g./f to come as a surprize for her. We hadnt seen him in a long time and knew it was important to her.

I MISSS YOU

Lets figure out how we can talk outside of the forum...Im not very good with email either but better since the blackberry. everythign comes to it my email, my facebook notifications and etc...

Texting could be an option, I use to text with a few ppl from the forum...LOL!!Im such a dork!!!

Passionate abt those I like!!!

Oh angel food cake, we use orange juice and orange zest and glaze it with some orange icing so yum!
 
Anyways guys how are you all! I got good news! I decided to check myself out in the mirror today... and low and behold.... my cellulite that has been camping out on the backs of my legs is very much minimized now!!!! I am starting to see my legs get smaller hehehe. SO HAPPY

HAHAHA LMAO!!!!!:rotflmao: ur funny boy!


anyways, went to the gym this evening and worked it outttttt! Felt great! Starving now!!! Waiting for my baked chicken to come outta da oven!!!! yum:drooling:
 
small set back... .bummerville USA

Got up this morning and headed to the gym. Gained a lb this weekend :icon_bs:

So, I decided i needed to kick butt today during my work out. I ran for 3.5 miles and biked for 4 miles. Then i focused on the abductor and adductor muscles, calfs, and overall legs.


I think the gain was clearly due to my poopy weekend eating. Yesterday here is what i ate... its pretty clear why i gained a good pound hehe
Breakfast/Lunch
Coffee
sauage, egg, cheese wrap ( dipped in ketchup a bit)
hasbrowns ( cheese, mushrooms, onions)



Dinner
(3) Chicken fingers and fries ( dipped in ketchup & mayo)

Snacks
Twizzlers
choc chip cookie dough ice cream

:ack2::ack2::ack2:
:leaving:
yeah... so it was a bit of an unhealthy day for me... so im prolly retaining some water from the salty processed foods.... and all that poopy stuff in my body!!!!



Today, I'm back on track with my eating and what not... this week i will be strictly sticking to the program ive put into place.


AM
Special K w/ skim milk
2 cups of coffee ( cream and splenda)



I hate when i gain a pound though... its really frustrating. It makes me feel like a dumb ass for eating crappy. Ive been slacking lately though so its my own dumb butt fault!!! i need to get back into the strict eating routine. I know that im exercising well and keeping with it... but I just need to be better with the eating again!
