Just doin' it

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Ok, so I've been journaling on MM.com since january.. The place have become pretty slow.. Many of the old MM-people have gone here instead.. and I feel like I could use some change..

So, I'm starting a journal here instead!

Perhaps I should tell you some things about myself.. I'm 18, living in Sweden.. Have been lifting since the end of year 2000 and am now trying to cut up for summer!

The plan to do this is to go pretty low carb.. around 60-100g a day.. protein around 200g and fat around 40-50g.. which basicly adds up to 1500-1700 calories.. And I usually have a cheat day once a week..

Would you like some pics??

Ok, coming right up..

wow looking great Nike Girl.keep it up..

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Princess- yeah, I know.. there's not as much action anymore.. We'll just have to make this our frequent hang-out now!

Tank- Thanks! You bet I'll keep it up.. and IMPROVE it..

...But the ultra-clean thing will have a lil' break tomorrow and saturday.. Tomorrow will be great food and workout-wise.. but I suspect there'll be some serious drinking..

I have a big party-night planned.. Lot's of fun.. And saturday is cheat day.. I know I should save drinking for cheat days, but it doesn't happen very often.. So this one will have to be overlooked!

Posted by: Princess

OKAY WE will overlook your drinking tomorrow night!! I do that too..sometimes I will drink on a saturday night..then Sundays are my cheat days...but I recover better that away!! ya, this will definalty be our new hangout..I can see it already!!

cheating every once in awhile is a good thing, you can go stir crazy after months of eating right and training hard.go enjoy yourself..

only wish i was there

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Ok, so I've been a BAD girl this weekend (no pornal comments on that Kuso...

).. The saturday cheat-dat extended into sunday.. was not meant to happen.. I did good up until 3:00PM.. Then I went to my boyfriend's family for dinner... His mother had a birthday.. And since they're italian, with a packed food- culture, the whole table was stuffed.. I don't think I've ever seen so much food..

And since his mom takes it personally if you don't eat.. I ate..

Ok, that was a fairly good excuse.. But it doesn't justify me eating the cake and chocolate later.. Nope..
I screwed up.. But you must admit that it was a pretty tough situation..

Oh well, I'll dust myself off... start fresh and go down to the basement and get some cardio done!!

Yeah Kuso, I BET you will.. Now I'm going to the gym to work up that SWEAT we we're talking about..

See ya!

I'm changing my diet.. This high fat lower carbs isn't working for me.. I started cutting down in january.. back then I ate around 100-150g carbs, 170-200g protein and 30-45g fat..
Doing that I lost 8 pounds..
Well, then I started higher fat and lower carbs.. sometimes as low as 20g of carbs.. and since I started that, I've gained all of my 8 pounds back.. stepped on the scale today.. and I actually started crying.. it sucks so bad... now I have been switching the numbers up and tried carb-cycling and stuff.. But I'm gaining.. not loosing..

This really sucks..

So now, once and for all, I'm going BACK to moderate carbs, low-mod fat and high protein.. That has worked for me before and I think I should go for that.. this is making me very frustrated..

*giving myself a pep-talk*Ok NG.. come on.. get that spirit back now..

remember, you're a cheerleader.. should be full of spirit..

Posted by: Chalcedony

I feel your pain... i tried the whole high fat low carb and gained weight.... so i went back to my old diet and now im losing it again... don't give up girl

Thank you Chalcedony! I guess that diet isn't for everyone! We all have to find what works best for US!

What split P/C/F are you having now?
I'm thinking 55/25/20 or 50/30/20..
Thanks again.. I actually feel much better now.. Went for a long run and realised that things are not that bad.. I just need to pick up my boxing gloves and get back in the ring to fight that fat!

You seem to be everywhere today..

Well, the cheerleading season is over for me actually.. Hockey leauge is over.. We have a soccer thing going on, but I don't know how that'll turn out yet..
But ok.. I'll give you evidence.. quality sucks.. and it's 6 months old.. yeah.. I have had it all along

Well.....this would just be too easy to pornalise....

The pic is nice....but I`m sure you`re still holing out on me!!??!!??

Posted by: Chalcedony

i dont know the percentages of p/c/f.. it's less than 20 gms of fat , i can tell you that much and prolly only abpout 100-150 in carbs....it changes.. and i dont keep track when im on this diet cuz it works for me without having to keep track

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Kuso, I'm not giving you any more cheer-pics!!

Today's workouts:
Cardio: 40 min running.. gave it all I had..
Weights: Back and Bicep.. I really should post my routine.. naah.. I'll do it next week.. lol

Diet:

07:45
1 cup special K
1 small pear
1 cup skim-milk
6 egg whites
5 almonds

10:45 (after running)
35g proteinpowder mixed w. water
1 kiwi

After this I started feeling really weird.. like terribly cold and feeling sick.. I don't know why, maybe I needed more carbs after running..

1:00
4 oz chicken
1 cup mushrooms
lettuce
5 almonds

4:45 (after weights)
35g protein powder mixed w. water
1/2 small pear

at around 6:30ish I'll have:
5 oz lean roast beef
2 small potatoes
1 cup zucchini

This will make:
1452 cals

183g protein 52%
123g carbs 31%
26g fat 17%

I'm pretty happy with that split.. this is what I'll do from now on..

Posted by: Princess

hey Nike_girl...where are u??????????????

Posted by: Princess

BUMP!!!

Where are u??? Are u okay girl??? I miss u!!!!!

Posted by: Eggs

Hey NG

I hopes ya doing okay!

Hey, how long do you wait after your last meal before going to bed? Your meals look really good.

No more Cheer pics? If not for Kuso then perhaps for me? Hehe, just messing around. Those pics look great of course. Dont get discouraged when you stagnate a tad, it happens to everyone! If you were to make progress 24/7 for the rest of your life all guys would look like Cutler and all girls like, well... they'd all be super sexy. So when you slow down a little bit, just realise that it takes alot of time to get to where you want to be. And damn, you look good already... anywhere you go from here is just icing on the cake ya know.

I'm sure your busy with something, talk to you when you get back.

Eggs, just wanted to let you know that she has decided to keep her daily journal over at mm.com. You may want to check her out over there. I still think she visits here sometimes though.

Posted by: Eggs

Awwww, I should have know. I'll repost this over there then. Psshaw.

Eggs

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Ok.. Kuso has convinced me to start posting here again.. I'll keep the MM journal.. but I'll copy and paste..

Hope you guys have missed me!!

So, an update perhaps.. Have been doing the 50/30/20 split and it seems to work really good for me.. Haven't stepped on the scale (I'm afraid to..

) , but my clothes are already starting to fit looser..

Today's workout:
weighttraining: Back & Bicep..
and directly after weights (just had a quick shake) I took my mountainbike for a 50 min ride.. now that was really hard.. the last 15 min I was soooo tired and I really needed some simple carbs.. But I managed to last until I got home.. Then I had a banana and I felt such a "rush" when eating it..

Diet today:
07:30
6 eggwhites
20almonds
1cup special K
1 small apple
12 grapes
vitamins

11:30
150 Quorn (it's a protein made from 'protein fungus' which is suitable for vegetarians.. sounds gross but taste real good, like chicken)
2 cup mushrooms
1/2 cup zucchini
10 almonds

4:30 (after weights)
35g proteinpowder mixed w. water

6:00
1 small banana
low carb protein bar
1 whole weath cracker

and at 8:00 I'll have
4 oz chicken
1 cup lettuce

1570 cals
181 g protein 48%
137 g carbs 32%
34g fat 20%

Aaaaalmost.. only 2 % misplaced..

Do you do any measurements so you can see if you are losing fat? or are you just going by the scale? or like me the Mirror?

Posted by: Miss LeDix

realdeal, I think she uses her clothes and how they fit (or don't fit..since they're all going to be loose!) as a way to see how she is doing.

Good one..

Today is cheatday! ate some candies earlier, but my body didn't like that very much... felt soooo darn sick.. So, will take it pretty easy on cheatfood.. will just have a nice dinner tonight..
My clothes are feeling a lot less tight, feels really good.. I'll soon have a perfect excuse to go shopping!!

Posted by: Nike_Girl

ooops.. forgot to update yesterdays diet and workouts..
I will not give you the long version, just a little update..

I can't think of any other form of cheating.. lol

Ok, Update.. yesterday was not a good diet-day.. Fitday.com was down and that basicly messed up my day.. (that's a good excuse, right? lol) I have no idea how many cals I ate.. I tried to do what I usually do, I should know by now how much I'm supposed to eat, right? Well, I did very good up until 6:00 PM.. Then I ate stuff that I shouldn't have.. muffins and yoghurt, special K... shame on me..

However, today WILL be a perfect diet day.. Fitday.com is up.. But I should really not rely on that page like that.. hmm.. must think of something better.. Did cardio before breakfast.. just had a protein shake before starting sweating.. Had a good breakfast.. and I am on track..

Posted by: Eggs

Sorry, I dont condone the use of candy NG. So you'll get none of that from me.

I actually will be leaving here early so I can go back to college in the States (well, I have to see... I probably will be) so wont be in the area come August. Which is too bad, because I was looking forward to long nights of partying and long days of sleeping on the beach (No long jokes from the peanut gallery per favore). I still might come back out between Semesters to visit friends though.

I imagine with all the caffe (expresso) you'll be drinking over here that you will be able to eat lots of candy

Diets looking good!

Don't condone the use of candy? huh?? Now, let's see if I remember it correctly.. yes.. I do.. you bought a whole bag of candy for your girlfriend this easter! HAAA! gotcha..

So, you've left when I arrive.. so no candy for me..

poor me..
But the thought of myself sitting in a nice little trattoria in Rome basicly makes me feel better...

The thought of going to Rome all by myself is actually both exciting and terrifying.. little Nike_girl in a big city.. with lots of whine.. I CAN'T WAIT!

Ahhh, damn me. But I didnt want to... when your girlfriend likes something its kinda impossible to not get it for them.

... I am weak. I go to drown myself. Kuso, somebody... draw her attention while I try to escape.

*walks away muttering* ...remembers me buying candy for my girl several weeks ago... women.

Eggs

Yeah Eggs.. you should have known better.. Oh yeah, I'm sneaky, ain't I ? *smiling with triumph*

But, I won't flame you though.. It's kinda nice to buy your gf candy..

Now, if my bf would have done it though, I would've smacked him..

(if it isn't my cheat day that is.. lol)

damn.. all this talk about candy makes me hungry.. I need food.. will go get myself some broccoli.. *sighs*

Hey NG, are you thinking of doing any fitness competitions in the future?

You have a background in cheerleading which would help tremendously, and you eat very well. Just wondering.

Well.. I must admit I have thought about it.. once or twice.. Fitness is not very big in Sweden though...
Who knows what the future holds... In the closest future, I won't.. maybe in some years.. The thougt both exites me and terrifies me..

I think I need to pack on some more muscle before I think about it..

Posted by: realdeal

If you keep up the routine that you are doing now, i think you should have no problem packing on muscle. Its true that fitness competitions are'nt that big in Sweden, but look at some of the top Fitness girls like Lena Johanesson (Norway), you just have to get some exposure first, then move to US to make some real cash. It sucks that its all in the US.

Posted by: Nike_Girl

I'm here! Sorry for not checking in lately! I have been pretty busy with school and trying to find a job after school is over.. Diet and workouts have been good, except for yesterday when I had my cheatday.. I decided I wanted a clean weekend and a cheatday thursday.. Was no binge, just a good cheatday!

So BF is on?? I didn't know that he visited this place now.. He never writes anyway.. BF, WRITE!!!

Went on a job interview at a fitness store yesterday.. It's only part time, but it seems like a lot of fun.. The owner seemed to like me and my interest in fitness.. They sell a lot of supplemet in that store and I can't wait to get a workers-discount there!

Uhm, ok, what to write?? This weekend will be boyfriend-free since my man is going to Hungary in buisiness.. He'll be travelling a lot in the future.. USA, Asia... I don't know how I'll survive..

So, this weekend will be packed with friends, workouts, studying and clean eating.. Tonight I'm going to the movies with a friend.. think we'll see 40days &40 nights.. Josh Hartnett is such a hottie..

Will check in later tonight and give you all the diet and workout- details!

What? What? WHAT? This is shocking information!

Honey, don't stress about five pieces of candy, please!

It just proves that you are human, I hope you enjoyed those five pieces.

Hey NG, I forgot to tell you. Go visit my journal, I posted a pic in there that I think you would be interested in seeing.

no one is interested in that terrible picture but you

What? You know that is a lie! You know that NG loves Nicky just like I do!

I think she just likes to humour you

Posted by: Miss LeDix

kuso, maybe you should go check out my journal now..I really did add another picture tonight.

Posted by: kuso

I think I may already be looking at it right??

Nice new avatar

Posted by: Miss LeDix

kuso, yep...it's my avatar for now.

Thought I'd leave our good friend nike_girl a little present...

Posted by: kuso

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey guys!
Miss L, yes, I know, I usually have a mind of steel and not cheat when I'm not supposed to.. but lately I've been kinda slacking..

In a good way I think.. I mean, there's more important things in life than having a 8% bodyfat.. I'd love to have it of course, but since I'm not even considering any comp or anything like that, I need to realise that I'm good the way I am.. I've never felt that I was good enough in the past, but I'm starting to learn to. by losening the control a little, I don't get that hysteric about foods and that actually keeps me from cheating, since I love the healthy foods I eat.. I mean, I could beat myself up over having an extra fruit a day, cause that would bring up my carbs with 1%.. WTF is up with that..

And those guilty feelings could lead to some REAL cheating.. I needed to losen up a little.. lol...So, I don't think our unmentionables are that bad once in a while, it makes it easier to follow this healthy lifestyle..

Thanks for that Nicky pic!!

After hearing my friend's description of him, he kinda lost his status for me though.. But I used to be such a HUGE fan when I was like 13-14!

And he looks cute in that pic! Thank's again, you're such a sweety!

Kuso, don't puke in my journal!! Do you expect ME to clean up that mess??

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Forgot to log yesterday..
Diet was perfect 50%P 30%C and 20&f..

Cardio in AM, intervals 25 min..
Weights: Legs.. high reps, mod weight.. supersets for calves..

Am in a hurry, have a nice day everyone!

Posted by: Princess

Hey Nike Girl!!! I think you are TOTALLY right about letting the control go a bit on our diets. Like you, I am doing this for my health, to stay slim, but not for competitions or anything like that...and I agree with you about having an unmentionable every once in awhile. Thanks for opening my eyes. Its not a bad thing to have that extra fruit a day..or whatever..your soooo right!! I am with you on this girl!!! YOU LOOK GREAT, and I know you always will because you ENJOY eating healthy, and thats whats important!! WAY TO GO GIRL!!!
Have a great day!

BTW!~ how's that boyfriend of yours?? Ya'll doing good?

Take care!!
~ Stacey~

Posted by: Princess

~~ Oh did you get that job at the fitness store????
~~ Hope So!!

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Thanks Princess! Felt good with some feedback!

as I've told before I've had a lot of issues with my eating and exercising in the past.. Eating disorders and stuff.. Now, I've started seeing a psycologist.. cause even though I don't have the real eating disorder anymore, I've been going through some rough times lately.. this all falls back on my poor ability to love myself and feel that I'm good enough.. I would just love not to be so over-controlling about my diet and not worry so much.. to feel safe..that's why I started seing my shrink..

And he is so helping, I have progressed so much this last weeks.. I thought about stopping this journaling completly, cause I have realised why I do this.. To let my screen and you guys confirm that I have been good.. cause that is so important for me, to have control..

Sometimes when I don't log my meals, is not because I haven't been good, but because I'm trying to learn to confirm myself, without you guys or fitday.com.. I so need to realise that life is not all about bodyfat and muscles.. it's about loving life and feeling good about yourself.. I'm starting to learn to combine these to factors (bodyfat and loving life) and to get beautiful on the inside.. It can be done, and a lot of you have already learnt how to do it..
I've been abusing my body.. Not on the outside, there I've been perfectly good, but my soul has been so abused.. I'm starting to feel whole.. and safe.. I've never felt this good before in my life..

This probably sounds like some darn mambo-jambo for some of you..

I'm not getting insane, I'm just trying to learn how to live and how to be happy!
I've learnt so much about my eating patterns and how emotional I am with it.. I have eaten for comfort so many times without even realising it.. I thought that was something only 350 pounds Sally did... Guess not..

This journal really doesn't belong in a muscle and fitness forum.. Maybe I should go look for a "finding yourself forum"..

But, it's all about being healthy.. So I guess I could stay here..

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Oh, and Stacey, boyfriend is fine.. He's still in Hungary though.. I'm missing him like crazy.. Tomorrow we celebrate our 22months anniversary and since we both were supposed to have the day off, I had planned for us to go on a trip to Copenhagen in Denmark (that's reallt close to us.. they've built a bridge between Sweden and Denmark) and just chill and have a good time all day.. Now, he won't get back in time..

I guess that's what comes with having a super successful boyfriend..

It really sucks.. I have sooooo been looking forward to it.. Oh well, we'll do it some other time..

Don't know about the job yet.. The owner will contact me sometime next week!

Hope you're having a GREAT DAY! Thank's for being here for me!

Posted by: Princess

Hey Nike_girl...(I pmed you back by the way)

!! Girl, I have been in your shoes, and sometimes still am!! I go through this challenge with my Mind and body a lot..and my sister (college student studying nutrition/and psycology) has to help me out a lot! SOOOO I know what your feeling, and understand EVERYTHING!!! Really I do. YOUR JOURNAL Belongs here, I am not competing either, but I do want a lean, healthy body..thats why we are here and have found friends in here to help us! Thats good you have a Dr. helping you. The most important thing you need to do is love yourself in the inside!! (I tell myself this too as I write this to you girl) I have had eating disorders also, nothing MAJOR, but they have been in my life, and have messed my mind up!! I am glad you posted this... I want to help you out as much as I possibly can! I know its not fun to have food control your life. But we let it somehow.?

You have a good positive additude sooo far, saying that "it can be done (loving life, and getting beautiful on the inside)!! So thats very good..a lot of girls don't think like that!! Anyway..I wanted you to know that I am listening to you, and will be hear for you!! KAY!~

Let me know if ya get that job, I hope you do!!
That really sucks about your boyfriend not being here for your anniversary..sorry!! I am sure he wishes he were too!! Let him make that money!!

I know you were looking forward to that trip!

OKay, Now go have yourself a great day chick!! AND SMILE!!

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Awww, thank you SOO much Princess! I don't have time to write a long reply since I am going to teach the kids in my dance class real soon! But I really apprechiate your reply!! It feels so good to have you guys here backing me up!! I will check in later and write something longer!! THANKS!!! And have a great day you too!!!

Hang in there girlie! You're doing great and we're all behind you!

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey girls.. Princess, thanks, it means a lot! And Butterfly, HI! I know you're going through some rough time and in times like that we all have to stick together and help each other..

Actually I'm not doing very great today.. I have been eating like crap.. I'm not ready to losen control yet.. when I don't control my meals, I go over the edge and eat stuff that I'm not supposed to.. which leads to cheatfood.. I need to take ministeps.. My Dr. told me this, but I was so anxious to live the happy life so I dropped every controlplan.. Not good.. I need to control my food intake and log everything, that way I can stick to it.. And not sticking to it has left me feeling fat.. I swear, I have gained weight this last week!!!

And I'm not OK with that.. So, tomorrow is right back to loggin again.. ministeps Nike, ministeps..

I am feeling very crappy right now.. I was supposed to go out partying with friends tonight.. But I'll stay home.. there will be a lot of alcohol if I go out with them and I really can't handle that.. My "bad" feelings gets 10 times worse when I drink.. And I feel like staying home.. I so wish boyfriend was home now.. I need his strong arms around me..

Tomorrow will be a brand new day and I'll be back on track.. Over-controlling and all.. The way I can handle..

Posted by: nikegurl

hi nike_gurl. i don't want to intrude....but i can really relate to the stuff you're saying

i think more then a few of this do this as an obsessive thing that we call ok b/c it's "healthy". does that make sense? i used to have similar obsessive issues that were "bad" because they were unhealthy. back in high school it was all about how thin can i get. how low a number can i see on the scale. then i realized that i didn't look good (finally) and i pointed my energy somewhere else. now it's about bodyfat instead of pounds. i'm just as obsessive with the food etc. now - just pointed it in a different way.

i've never been too good with moderation. i'm either PERFECT or i'm not caring what i eat at all. i'm trying to change that. i get so stressed out on weekends. just not having the same control over my meals freaks me out.

what should be nice days - out and about visiting friends or family or shopping with the boyfriend end up bothering me if i realize too many hours have gone by without food etc.

so - you aren't the only one. i don't have many answers. i do know you have lots to feel good about inside and out. you look wonderful and you take the time to help other people with their goals etc.

so hang in there and please try....try not to be too hard on yourself (i know - easier said then done) sorry to go on so long!

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Thank you nikegurl.. I'm really glad you wrote that.. It feels so good to be understood... Not many of my friends can relate to this issue.. Of course, almost everyone of them worries about their weigt, but when I tell them I feel bad because my macros were wrong, they don't quite get it...

I know that a lot of people in the fitness industry feels like this.. not many would be were they are in their perfect body if they didn't have feeling like this to push them towards their goals.. It's all about balance.. moderation.. but it is so hard to find that and I really can't figure it out.. I'm also into it 100% or I'm totally slacking..

About going shopping with bf and counting the hours..

Been there, done that.. My bf is very understanding since he's a bodybuilder too, but he has never had any problems with bodyfat (that lucky bastard... lol).. Sometimes I tell myself "come on Jen, don't worry..eat that darn cookie if you want to".. But if I do, I freak.. it sucks big time..

Thank you for saying those kind words about my inside and looks..

I've read your journal and you're doing so great.. You should really be proud of what you're doing, and I hope that you feel as good doing it as you look.. I'm thinking about giving that super-low carb thingie a try again, but I don't know if I should.. I want results, but I don't want to feel overcontrolling.. hmm, I'll sleep on it.. Again, thanks for the support!

feels good to me too! yep - people don't get it. all the time people say "but you're not fat. why do you care?" aaarrrrgggghhhh! as if it's that simple!

as for the super low carb thing. it's my first try at it. i had been doing 50/30/20. it's really extreme but physically i feel good. i was crabby the first few days. and then i really stressed after my first carb up. hated feeling stuffed and seeing my calories go over 2000 for the day. but had a much better time yesterday.

i'm such a nut though. one day i'm sure i'm getting so much leaner and then the next i decide i'm not seeing enough progress in my lower body. i know i feel ok and i know i'm eating my veggies finally so that much is definitely good. i do think it's working but probably need some more time to tell.

i will confess - sometimes i wonder.....if it works really well and i'm ever actually satisfied with my results. what then? i mean - do i never ever in life eat bread or pasta again? (my favorites)

i don't have it figured out long term. just going one day at a time.

if what you're doing feels good - why change? you look so great!

Be patient ng, it will work!! just look at W8!! She's like THE rolemodel here!

You can do it.. And feeling unsure about it is just natural.. it is a big change in your diet and it will make you guess... be patient.. give it a good go.. If you would (against all odds) find that it does not work for you; at least you've tried it and at least you know..

Well, as for me thinking of changeing.. I want results!!! FAST!! And that makes me want to go to the extremes.. but perhaps that won't be good.. I just want to loose the darn fat on my butt.. lol.. I have no idea what to do.. I guess I'll just see what feels right tomorrow and work from there!

yep - you always know just what to say! i think of w8 all the time. it's an act of faith sometimes! and you're right - by commiting to it 100% i'll know whether it works for me or not. it's totally different then anything i've done before. at least i'll know!

i know what you mean about results. when i see my upper body at the gym i feel good - veins and definition showing. my waist is really small now. it's great.

then i check the butt and back of my upper thighs and there's still the jiggle zone. that's when i freak and say it isn't working! i lack patience for sure. that will ruin my morning. i keep thinking one day it will be gone. bf insists i've changed so much. i believe it and see it myself - til i check the butt!

deep breath. we'll just keep going and one day - we'll be there. let's just hope we know it!

HEY SWEETIE! Oh girl whatever you do don't give up on yourself!! I totally UNDERSTAND Where you are coming from!! (duh, already told you that)!! NONE of my friends, parents, Husband, brothers, or sister Understand Me either...they think I am a total obsessed freak....so at least you have your boyfriend on yourside. Oh and what gets me is that my husband can eat SHIT all day and not gain a pound...really..he eats mexican food every single day..or cheeseburgers/fries... all the yummy chips..etc..all the JUNK we stay away from..he inhales!! So that makes it harder on me. I have my shelfs in the pantry, and he has his...and I wish I could staple shut his and put a big "Do Not ENTER" sign on his. I do well, I admit..but Damn its tempting to dive in there and say screw it all...but then again I don't want a dimply but is whats in the back of my mind. I am in control like you, but it drives my mind wacko sometimes!!! Just don't give up! You have an awesome body from all the healthy eating you have done, and all that cardio!! Its not worth just throwing in the towel! I know thats not what your saying your doing though...just wanted to add that. This fitness stuff is SOOO HARD TO DO!!! Just Stay true to yourself! Your a wonderful person INSIDE and OUT!! WHERE am I going with this I have no clue..just had to say something...LIKE I NOT WHERE YOUR COMING FROM IS ALL...AND I AM Going through it too!!

Seems like we all have the sam problem area.. Sure, I like the J-lo style.. But I want to be totally jiggle-free...

I know I will, someday.. It's morning here now.. 9:30 to be exact.. So nice to have the day off.. Since I'm not going to Copenhagen with Rob, I'll devote this day to diet, training, cardio and STUDYING!! I have only about 4 weeks left til graduation and there's a LOT of stuff to finish before the 5th of june(graduation)!! But I can't believe I've only got a little more then a month left in that school!!! I'm so looking forward to getting out of there.. I wish you all could be there seing me getting my lil' hat...

Of course there'll be a lot more studying for me in the coming years, I want a real good education.. But I'll wait at least a year before hitting the books again!! And that year will be filled with stuff I like doing.. Like going to ROME.. The more I think about it, the better it feels.. I'll miss Rob so freakin' much though..

I'm feeling pretty good today.. I'm very postive actually.. I've been eating not so according to the meal plan for some days... So what!?!? that's only good!!! My body got some nice change and I'm ready to burn that fat! I had been going somewhat low-carb for a long time and my body really needed that lil' kick of carbs.. And, I actually like the way I look now, before getting back on track.. This will be such a great thing.. OMG, I'm such a postive freak..

Wait, better make that a positive fatburning freak.. lol

I'm really just waiting for my thermo to kick in now so I can go do my cardio..

I think I'm ready now.. Intervals and fatburning, here I come!!

Hey N_G-
You are going to Rome? When? I was stationed in Italy for two years way back when. I never made it to Rome, and am regretting it. I had heard bad stories of Rome, the gypsies trying to rob you and the such. By the time I made up my mind to go with a italian girl friend of mine, it was too late. She had an Aunt who had an apartment in Rome we were to use for the time we were to be there, but the Aunt rented it out the week before my friend and I were to go. I transferred back to the 'States a few weeks later.
So...when you go to Rome....take mucho pictures!

Hey Burner! Thanks for visiting!

Yep, Rome will be my home for two months starting 12th of august.. It is very exciting.. I'll be going all by my self.. It's basicly a language course and I'll be living in some sort of student appartment.. sort of like a dorm I think..
That's really bad, that you never went there!

Two more posts huh?? ouch, I better start working...
