:) thanks mal... I was letting myself get discouraged, and I guess I needed that little bit of support. I'd forgotten how much it helps. Thank god for this forum... lord knows that I don't get much support at home.

And even though my ticker is lying by about 7lbs, (I need to change it) I'm still halfway to my goal. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I just need to get back on track with a little more "umph" to finally kick the cellulite goodbye! :D

Oh it was killer. A lot of rising on the toes, lunges, tuck jumps, scissors jumps, reverse jumps, lunges with a jump, jumping up stairs, doing lunges with medicine balls, then some ab workouts, and of course, jumping up stairs...what fun... :D

This sounds like a fabulous plan Xorie, you will certainly see results with this sort of workout. You're doing a great job woman ;)
 
ugh.. it was my father's b-day yesterday... I made cake. Damn good cake, but cake nonetheless.

Yesterdays food was 1.5 bowls of cereal, maccaroni and cheese, chinese food (1.5 plates at a buffet) and some cake.

Today, I've had 1.5 bowls of cereal... (I really need to stop eating so much cereal...it's very bad of me. And a small slice of cake.

Someone please smack me? Please?
 
:Smack:

Ok feel better? Yesterday really wasn't all that bad...

Now today's a new day... put yesterday behind you and go out and walk/play withthe horses/jump :D
 
*shakes head*

thanks mal. I needed that. Unfortunately, I don't get to play with the horsies today. I get to chase little children around forever...oh what fun. Thank god that this is a summer job only. I do believe that I'd go insane having to work there all the time again. (this is the second time I've worked here)

I like kids, don't get me wrong. I mean, the skinny ones are a little chewy, but they're all fun and games...Usually, until someoe gets a dirty diaper, or falls, or gets a toy taken away. :D they really are cute kids though.

I'm going to force myself to go on at least a mile walk today. I need the exercise, and my legs will thank me later for it.
 
Ok, I only walked half a mile, but at least I did that. i'm starting to feel the slight stress of finishing my C.E. project... but nothing serious. I just have to write a speech, and finish my powerpoint, and get the dang flash card to work on this computer! I NEED the pictures on it! oh well. i'll just restart the compie and try again.
 
I'm dreadful with children, it's great that you have the patience. I hope you are able to finish the school work soon and focus on enjoying summer ;)
 
Wanna know a sure way to lose 5lbs over night?

Get sick as a dog and puke your guts out for 12 hours.... AKA NOT FUN!

I got about 2 hours total of sleep last night, I'm exhausted, my stomach still hurts, my abs hurt, my head hurts, and I'm hungry, but I'm still nauseous so I can't eat anything....

AND this cuts in on my horseback riding lesson! And I NEED this one for my C.E project, which is due thursday... oh god oh god, I'm going to fall apart soon... Not fun. I might still go to the horses and take my lesson anyway, but we'll see. I'm not sure if I want to do that or not. I'm thinking that I will wait for another 2 hours and see how I feel then.

*(*$ life sucks right now....
 
Ooh Jacqui I hope you feel better soon :hug2: You poor thing! REST and sleep it off, I'm sending good healthy vibes your way ;)
 
I'm dying to know how you're doing sweetie. I hope that illness left you for good, you start school soon right?
 
*ducks head in shame*

I know I know, I haven't been on here in what, a month? That's pretty bad for me.

Ok. Here's a quick little update.

Yes, I'm sick again with a nasty head cold and can't taste anything....which really sucks....
And Yes, I'm happy because I sold some of my photography at the "Hug a Horse Day" and all but 2 sold! (about 12 sold)

My sister and I both made the varsity team. What fun. I still don't really want to play, but it's only 8 weeks.

I have volleyball 5 days a week, then a weekend job, then horses on sunday, and voice lessons after volleyball on wednesday...If I die, will you all come to my funeral? :D

Anyway, I went shopping today and I got another pair 14 pants. That means that I haven't gained too much weight back on...thank god. Hoping to lose 5lbs this week. Wish me luck!
 
You are SOOO busy. That will help you lose weight. Especially because of you playing Volleyball 5 days a week!

Well, when the time for tryouts was coming, I seriously considered not playing. Volleyball was no longer the most important thing in my life like it had been for the last 5 years. I really didn't want to get on the team with a bunch of other ridiculously skinny girls in spandex and play a game that I didn't really want to play any more.

Why the sudden change in mind? hmmm...lemme think. The horses. I've waited soooo long to have horses in my life, and just when I've bonded with my horse, BAM. I can't go nearly as often. Maybe 1 time a week if I'm lucky.


...


not cool.


...


Today was the first practice... it was horrible, like all first practices...and I can handle that. But then I found out that we have a practice on Labor Day...And Labor day is the day that ERA is having the "end of summer" fun day. And who can't be there because of playing a sport that she didn't really want to try out for in the first place? ME. I seriously came home and cried. The loss of the horses really tore at me today. In fact, I was shocked that I cried. Is that strange? I don't know.

I know that this is only about 8 weeks, and then it's over, and I'm planning on losing 30lbs this season...But still, I'm just devastated at the loss of the peace and tranquility that I got from just grooming and being around the horses, not to mention riding them.


*sigh*

wow, that was a big long outpouring there... But it felt good at least.

Breakfast: 1 bowl of cereal
Lunch: spinach raveoli
Dinner: grilled chicken salad w/ ranch

exercise: 3 hours of volleyball practice
 
Ok, volleyball practice was much better today. And I didn't come home and cry. Oh goodie.

Breakfast/Lunch: 2 bowls of cereal. (I had 2 bowls at 10:00AM)
Dinner: Steak burrito w/green peppers and beans and rice.

Exercise: 3 hours of volleyball practice. And the first 30 min was torture of a monster leg and core workout...I thought I was going to die.
 
Breakfast: 1.5 bowls of cereal.
Lunch: turkey sandwich
Dinner: Terriyaki...(maybe, I might turn it down though...I don't really want to eat that...maybe i'll just give it to my skinny butt sister...:D)

Exercise: 3 hours of volleyball
