Justina's February Diary

[Sunflower2]

Awhh, isn't belly dancing so much fun?! I'm loving my class. It's quite a work-out once you get going properly as well! I'm getting an outfit especially for it 3 hours at the gym--Girl you are a MACHINE! Love your attitude xxx

 

[Jennifer72]

Wow - I'm going to agree and say you are a MACHINE!!!!! Keep up the great work - but don't over do it.

 

[Tally29]

3 hours! WOW you are working hard! I'm glad your tires were fixed and for no charge?? That is awesome!

I really love how exercise can start just making you feel great and how it seems so easy when you have been at it for a while! Makes you wonder what you ever did without it! Make sure to take it easy enough not to have to skip a whole bunch of days because you are so sore though!

You are gonna look so good for your trip though which is the best part! Just make sure you can walk and move easily lol Good job you amazing girl!

 

[AriannaErin]

wow crazy workout! that's awesome - puts my less than an hour to shame haha, but definitely good for you and your tuna/pesto pasta sounds deeelicious!

 

[Justina]

Thank You Guys for your SUPPORT!!!

WOW! That's a LOT of time at the gym! You are just a machine! I agree that you need a rest day - don't want to injure yourself right before the big trip!

That sucks about the flat tire. I've changed a LOT of flat tires in my day (yes I know how!). A couple years ago I had a flat every week for 9 weeks in a row (my personal record) because some people were tearing down a building and hauling the mess out to the city dump and I have to drive into town on the road that leads to the city dump grounds. They dropped LOTS of nails driving back and forth, and I think my tires found every single one of them!

Hope the rest of your week continues to be great and that the soreness goes away quickly!

thanks Tigs!!! today i ll only do cardio - i m still in pain hahaha!
OMG 9 weeks in a row!!!!!! that is CRAZY!!!!! WOW! OMG!
I would have been in big trouble...well done for being able to change it - my sister can do it too.

Awhh, isn't belly dancing so much fun?! I'm loving my class. It's quite a work-out once you get going properly as well! I'm getting an outfit especially for it 3 hours at the gym--Girl you are a MACHINE! Love your attitude xxx

Thanks Hana! Belly dancing is about to become fun - now i bought some accesorize belt thing for it - so me making some noise will make it more fun! hehe

Wow - I'm going to agree and say you are a MACHINE!!!!! Keep up the great work - but don't over do it.

I m glad you are all in agreement lol - machine Justina lol...
thanks Jennifer!

Yup well chuffed about the tire.
I think i will take it a little easy now..it s hard though - cos i just wana do more - i m impatient to get there - find it hard to stop myself.

wow crazy workout! that's awesome - puts my less than an hour to shame haha, but definitely good for you and your tuna/pesto pasta sounds deeelicious!

Thanks Erin!!! heheehe well that how i started out too - i guess its just happend - bc the 2 classes i like are an hour apart - so i might as well stay in the gym and do some cardio...so that s how i ended up there for 3 hrs.

 

[Justina]

Me & the Scale - still not happy buddies...hehehe - i m still cross the way she behaves (can i call the scale a she??? i wonder hahaha - so unpredictible - it has to be a lady) i m still up 1 lb - with absolutely no reason for gaining fat. I excercize as crazy and my diet is spot on.
So i had a discussion with myself and i decided that
i) i m retaining water - bc ToM is coming
ii) all those muscle building classes after all paying off: i m building muscles?!
So i make myself to feel good about me!!
I ll keep on doing what i have been doing - and looking forward to the coming week.

I m also on the munch - big time...well i feel like eating all the time - so i drink a lot of water...
today i had breakie, then i had a latte, then ihad a mango and i was craving lunch already at 10...i had to pop into the shop to get some hand cream - and i had a small bar of chocolate in my hand...i came close to purchasing it...
i put it back in the end...
damn - no i have to wait at least until noon to start cooking...

So food today:
Breakie: cereals + banana + almonds + skinny latte
Snack: a big mango
Lunch: EDIT: I ws supposed to have veggie WOK with noodles - ended up having veggie soup with noodels: 3 big bowls!!!
Snack: grapefruit + skinny latte
Dinner: Greek salad with a piece of ww bread

Excercize: 90 min cardio ( you have no idea how tempted i m to go to the body sculpting class - but i know it would be silly of me - so i ll skip it)

Have a great day!!!!

Don't worry about the scale, you are doing great! Well done on not buying the chocolate! I don't know if I could have resisted that temtation once I had it in my hand.

 

[Amanda2010]

I'm betting the scale is showing muscle, how can it not? You are rocking it!

 

[Miss Charlie]

Justina I love the calling the scales a she - I am 100% with you - def a she!!

Your doing great with the exercise as always!! I always have to fight myself not to do too many classes, exercise isjust taking up too much of my life!!

[Tally29]

Wow awesome on putting the chocolate bar back! It will be there when you want to slow down the weight gain and want to treat yourself to something sweet

I also found myself in the store thinking about ice cream and how good it would taste this week! And it would taste good but then I would get angry I ate it lol It will be there when I don't mind treating myself!

The days of your trip are counting down so good job on reigning yourself down! Plus you and your sister are planning to have some very delicious things while you are in NY so you can also count down to that too! Fun stuff

 

[Jennifer72]

Nevermind the scale - definitely a fickle 'SHE'! Keep doing what you are doing and it will eventually have to move down. Plus if TOM is coming, that could def play a role.

Hope you have a fabulous day!!!

 

[Justina]

LOL TikTak - well trust me - i was sooo close...i nearly gave in hehe!

I'm betting the scale is showing muscle, how can it not? You are rocking it!

thanks Amanda - i hope so too!!

Justina I love the calling the scales a she - I am 100% with you - def a she!!

I DID TRY IT - hehehehe - & proceeded check out LOL....so bites of cake - thats what i needed...

I didnt buy them - but i was soooo happy!!! i bet they will look better on me in 2 weeks - i ll buy some in NY.

 

[Janvier]

Hi Justina,

Congrats on the jeans fitting!!!

Thank you for your support in my diary hun! I just read through yours and I wish I found you earlier! You are so upbeat and positive, even when you have your bad days you always end your post in such a positive way, you seem to have a really great personality!

A lot of your insecurities are like mine, stretch marks and saggy boobs lol, being single on top of it all just feels like a slap in the face doesn't it? I think you will look amazing in a bikini, it's all about attitude and confidence. I wore my first one 2 years ago and I was terrified, but I put it on and told my friend to tell me the truth about how I looked and she said I looked great and I felt great just hearing her say it and remembering how far I had come from not being able to button up the biggest pair of pants I could find in a store to a bikini. I think you will get there and you will embrace your body- flaws and all. You have been doing amazing, I'm hoping your positivity starts to rub off on me. Keep up the great work and thank you again for the support!!

 

[Tally29]

Amazing job Justina! I hope the sample was delicious! Oh my gosh you probably will feel like you are rushing until you get back from your NY trip! I know I would! But a fun awesome rush

I hope you took some days off so you could come back and recover lol You guys are going to have so much fun! NY, shopping and eating at heavenly places! I don't have anything exciting happening in 2 weeks! But I will look forward to all your stories

 

[Tigpuppy]

WOW! Time is flying and you are doing awesome! I can't believe it's almost time for you to leave on your trip!

Gotta love those fickle scales, right? I wonder if I try this tomorrow when I step on the scale if it will have any affect:

Nice scale, good scale. Such a pretty scale.... (pets scale lovingly) What a good girl! Mummy loves you...

NOW SHOW ME A GOOD FREAKIN' NUMBER!!!!!

 

[Janvier]

Thank you for the encouraging words Justina, you're very sweet !

You have so much going on today and you're still sticking to your food plan and getting in an hour and forty minute workout!! Great job at multi-tasking and I'm happy you're scale is in a good mood today! I hope you get everything done in time for you're trip, you're going to have an amazing time!

Happy Friday!

 

[Tally29]

Food and exercise are looking great! Also I bet all that rushing around is burning some extra calories too! Glad to read that the scale is moving along again! I knew it was going to have to I mean it wasn't like you were sitting around eating junk all day! You were doing some hard work!

I bet someone in your gym is like holy moly that girl is moving right along! I would be totally motivated by a girl if I constantly watched her getting smaller every week! Heck I wish you were closer you would be an awesome gym buddy!! You should be proud that no matter where someone is they are getting motivated by you whether they ever say anything or not

Keep it up you AMAZING GIRL!
