I think you'll like it over there.
What are you, crazy?
I wouldn't even consider reading through this journal.
a) I'm boring
b) It's too long
c) I don't mind repeating myself so if you have questions... let them fire.

Afternoon 
How are you today?
How are you today?
FUCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
I failed my test.
By 4 points.
That's what I get for not studying.
I just doomed myself to a month of really, really hard studying.
Not cool.
Such is life though. Now I feel obligated to show it who's boss.
It's really friggin cold here! I thought I'd have an enjoyable weekend but it looks like I'll have my face buried in a book covering a subject I have absolutely zero interest in.
And working on the site a bit too for breaks... but that's fun.

Awww that SUCKS about that test. Dry material? Finance, right? I'd fail it, too
I'm great but really confused because I dropped 3.5 pounds in less than a week. Eh, false low readings happen, right? It just coincides with me managing to eat 1800-1900 calories a day. I started calorie counting again (because it works for me to lose weight) and I estimate that when I don't count, I must be eating around 2400-3000 a day! I dunno, man, it's all screwy. I was searchiing my diary yesterday for my post on Chris for Maureen and found that on Dec 6th I was 145.5 lbs. On Christmas Day I was 145.5. Last week I was 145.5--and I was eating and drinking whatever I wanted that whole time! Then I diet for a few weeks and BAM! 3 pounds gone. WTF??? I'm starting to wonder about my metabolism. Have you seen my recent pics? I got some muscle going on, maybe that's what's up: http://weight-loss.fitness.com/club-challenges/27276-6-week-goal-challenge-biggest-transformation-contest.html#post549722
Look, I'm HAPPY, don't get me wrong! Just confused...you're a female body sculptor, any thoughts?

Beyond dry really.
Not only that, but I did read through the book and information tends to stick to me pretty good...
The shit they asked on the test was nothing like the material in the book. Leaves me worried about how I'm going to prep for the next round of this.
It's a tough thing for me to accept since I'd more than anything love to just go out and start training full time but that wouldn't pay the bills. Unfortunately right now, at the stage I'm at, I need the income I pull in from finance and fitness together. I could do without the fitness income actually but that's what I would rather devote my time toward growing and start gradually cutting back on the finance side of things.
I don't put a high premium on money. Personally I need just enough to be comfortable. Anything else is just fluff. And that's not the right mentality in the finance realm.
Probably a combo of a fluke coupled with the fact that you started tracking again.
I wouldn't wonder about the metabolism. You're probably right around your settling weight and varying 5 lbs in either direction is nothing I'd think twice about.
Fantastic pics, Val. You're really looking great!

I NOTICED!@
Dude! I HATE that--in my opinion, it shows that the people who create the test didn't read the fucking books.
Yes, but the "saving for a rainy day" is always good, you know!
Thanks for the compliment! I look better in cute clothes
What do you mean "settling weight"? Like, the weight my body "likes" to be at, for what my activity level is?
Without a doubt.
Especially since I plan on having kids. I want to be able to provide for them plus some!
Without the spoiling that you often see this day in age.
That said though, I still plan on ditching finance eventually. I won't at the expense of my family's comfortableness, but life's too short to not work at building the fitness side of the equation. Especially when it's obvious I belong on one side and not the other.
I'm patient and diligent and what is meant to be will be.
Thanks for the compliment! I look better in cute clothes
Yes.

You're so cool!
Good luck to you! I know how you feel. Man, you do a great job, though--I'd die of boredom if I had a job in finance Sometimes it's hard even to shoot the shit with yuppies at the winery, and I get to DRINK while I'm at it! LOL!!!! Ok so, in your opinion, do you think my body is going to resist me trying to drop another 5-10 lbs? I managed to get to 137 in 2006 and screwed it up with my own embarrassing problems. I'm MUCH happier, now, I think it's a matter of watching my nutrition.....hmmm this seems like a dead end question, nevermind
You're so cool!
Haha, I know exactly what you mean.
Ya see, I wouldn't be tied into finance at all if it weren't for where I work. My cousin owns the firm. I manage it. I don't really deal with the finance side of things anymore nor do I have to talk to our customers for the most part.
I deal more with employee relations/human resources and that kind of stuff. It affords me a lot of freedom, which is why I've been able to develop my online presence a bit over the years and more recently bump up my online business side of things.
With that in mind, I really can't complain.
I feel fortunate to have what I have.
But just because I'm fortunate doesn't mean I'm not going to strive to change things, lol.
Of course.
You're not carrying a lot of additional fat at all.
Anytime anyone tries to lose fat with the above in mind, it's going to resist the hell out of you.
I'd also note that if you're going to do it, you're going to have to put more of a premium on weight training. I know you love yoga and you can still do yoga. But if you want optimal results in terms of physique, weight training needs to be set properly.
You have good genetics, believe it or not. So it's not like without weight training you'll be ruined.
lol
But if you're looking for optimal results (physique and metabolism) I'd focus more than you currently are on weight training.

Listen to you.
Look Val, I think you look great. You have to set your sites on the things that's going to give you the highest ROI (return on investment). Do you think losing the last 5-10 lbs is going to make you feel a lot better and/or is it going to make you a shit ton happier?
Only you can answer that.
Just remember that there's a lot to accomplish out there and you should dedicate yourself to those things that are going to mean the most to you.

SHIT! Don't have to deal with finance NOR talk to customers? You have it made! But by all means, strive for your heart's desire
I would--I WILL, I'm in a comfort zone currently and enjoy my work. I have plans up my sleeve to help people in some way, eventually....OK, that's fine. What about rock climbing? There's weights at my rock climbing gym that I have yet to work out at--going to, soon!
I think I'll PM you on the rest of this.....

I was comfortable long enough. Comfort is fine as long as you're happy.

PM me, that's fine. Or keep it here.
No difference in my mind.
