Hmmm, I never got too into fball.....maybe I should!

YES!!! You should!!!:D

[yogini]

Hello yogurt :).

No wild parties for me! Although I do get to chat with my friend that just got her boobs done so that will be fun! I've seen her already but haven't heard all the gory details and I will see her tonight at Job #2. I got to feel them last time--it was weird! You could really feel the bag of silicone in there!!! Crazy!
OH yeah??? omg! I've always wanted to know how they feel! It's just not the same hearing the description from guys.. especially with the looks on their faces!



Wild parties for you?
Me... wild parties? :D :D

Me... wild parties? :D :D
Ha! I know, I was very curious....I only got to touch the top of her chest because she was still really sore but I felt the bag (she had them under the muscle)...and I kinda want to see what the whole thing feels like....really, I'm not weird, just...curious :D.

[Krissypoo]

*waves*

Hey, Alecia. :)

[StlBarbie]

Happy Monday Chica!! :)

[arose70]

hehe, hey yogi :D

Hi Kris!

Happy Monday to you too Barb!



Hey girls....well, I'm sick. A cold. Pretty yuckers.

I even got up early today to go workout because I took an extra rest day yesterday and my damn gym was closed :eek:! I was pissed....then I went back home and tried to get back to sleep but couldn't. Will workout tonight. I will be out of the office tomorrow recruiting at a local college so that will be fun--hope to get some cardio in before that.

Nutrition this weekend was alright. I have FINALLY kicked my ass in gear and made a nutrition plan that I will follow...with lots of protein, good fats, and carbs. I am hoping to look great for graduation in December :D. (already technically graduated but will walk in december). So that's the plan-2 months to get some fat off and fit into these really nice white pants that my friend gave me. Right now I have too much love handle, thigh growth, and ass.

*burn the fat! burn the fat!burn the fat! burn the fat!burn the fat! burn the fat!burn the fat! burn the fat!burn the fat! burn the fat!burn the fat! burn the fat!burn the fat! burn the fat!burn the fat! burn the fat!burn the fat! burn the fat!*

I am dropping cals to about 1800-1900 per day and trying not to cheat much, if at all. I will have a cheat for hubs' bday coming up (the same night SAW 3 opens!!! Woo HOO!!!!!!) but I'm hoping that's it until December 16. :)

[StlBarbie]

Are you trying to burn the fat??? :cool:
I thought I read that above .... somewhere!! :p

HAVE A GREAT DAY ALECIA!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

[arose70]

Are you trying to burn the fat???
How'd you get that idea :confused:????

[Krissypoo]

Sounds like a plan. I know how well you drop fat, so this will be cake.

You are the one person I know that enjoys gore so much. *puke* I have no idea how you sleep at night after watching that stuff.

Feel better! And take it easy on yourself in the gym with that cold. Eat plenty since you still plan to train.

[arose70]

:D!!! I saw Jackass 2 this weekend and had to cover my eyes for some of that stuff--I don't handle puke very well! Anything else goes though....unless I'm by myself, then I'm a wimp :p. I am SO PUMPED for Saw 3---have you seen the promos!? they have 3 teeth dangling from little wires! Awesome :D.

Thanks for the 'get betters' - I hope to! Especially with recruiting tomorrow--don't want to be all stuffy and coughy when I'm talking to people.

[Krissypoo]

Teeth dangling from wires is cool? :confused: Yuck. :D

Vitamin C, woman! Eat it up and quickly.

[yogini]

Oh no!!! I hope that you feel better soon! as for the dangling teeth.... :eek: I'm developing different opinions about you atm...

[arose70]

Yogs :(....have you seen any of the saw's?!

Yes Ma'am Ms. DS! Vitamin C on the double! (except I don't have any :p--oh well, I'm eating well...better than I have in months so hopefully that will help).

[yogini]

None of the Saws... cutting movies creep me out!!! :eek:
I have a hard time sleeping at nights... :(

[arose70]

Aw, poor yogi....I heard "Open Season" was good---and "The Little Mermaid" just came out remaked on DVD. maybe you can start with those ;).

[yogini]

Just a bit exhausted and don't really have a lot positive to say other than bbing stuff so I will leave it at that :). Happy friday!

[Krissypoo]

[Krissypoo]

[jeni5.0]

*waves*

Heya, Alecia. How's the Basic Cuts treating you? Are you getting any icky feelings from the stims?
i missed this! when did you start these? im interested in them too.

[arose70]

Hey charity :). Going good thanks!

Haha Kim and Megs!!! Thanks, I am proud too---and I decided to throw another one in two weeks and go to a water park with hubs for his birthday! FUN! *slaps wrist* BAD EMPLOYEE!

Jenn-nope, I wasn't in TX but that party sounded interesting! Hey, did we decide on a good time for the bb.com gathering!?

Kris-I took one on Thursday and I got really fidgety, pretty warm, and a bit icky for about 1/2 hour. Then it went away. I didn't take them since then as I had 3 cups of coffee Friday and a soda in quick succession-figured I didn't need anymore! I will restart tomorra. :)

Jeni--I just started with that great deal at bb.com......Get em soon if you do get em!



This weekend was alright. Work really really really sucked. I lost it twice yesterday-once my manager was egging me on and being an ass and I just broke down and started crying with my table's food in my hands. I had to give it to my other manager to deliver. Then I completely went off on one of the guys in the kitchen and we screamed at each other over stupid stuff for about 30 seconds. After that all the servers kept coming up to me and asking me how I was doing :o. My manager (the nice one) pulled me aside and asked me what was going on..........I told her I think I'm losing it with everything I'm doing. This usually happens every semester when I get in too deep with work/school/bbing. She understood and was quite shocked at my screaming match as I am usually a laid back person there. I'm just glad the general manager wasn't there to see that.

today hubs and I went to coffee and studied, went grocery shopping and then I took a 2.5 hour nap. It was great. Then we went out for a cheat dinner at Perkins :). We went to perkins a lot in the midwest--they arent as big in the south so we had to drive a bit. Worth it!

I am currently studying for a test which is a bit crazy. I've read 2 of the 9 chapters the test is over and skimmed the other 7 today. Test will be taken Wednesday probably (online/open note/timed).

I also have not quite gotten over my cold yet! Felt like crap yesterday at work and today I'm a bit better, just really tired though.

Well, have a great sunday/monday (for you aussies) night and I'll see you all tomorrow.:)

[Krissypoo]

Sorry to hear that work didn't go quite so well yesterday. :o Hopefully, you will get some time to unwind tonight and feel better.

I'm glad that you and Scott had some time together today as well. :) Happy studying!

[twinnett]

Wow..things sound hectic for you! At least you got in a good cheat meal! What yummy dinner did you have?

[arose70]

Hi Kris :)

Hey Tara! I shared an appetizer with hubs--onion rings and cheesticks. Then I had a bread bowl salad with chicken fingers cut up in it. Then I had a piece of french silk pie :). I don't fool around when it comes to my weekly cheat meal :D.



Except I am definitely paying the price of it today-I have almost puked about 4 times now and I am soooo nauseous! :yuck:

This morning was moderate full body:

squats
sldl's
reverse lunges
pull ups
dips
incline bench
calf raises

stretching.

no basic cuts today--tummy is crazy :(.

I am still really exhausted. I don't understand how this works---I am good good good and then one week I'll start feeling a bit under the weather and not so good about life and then the next week I am in a full blown exhaustion. I am really looking forward to my sickie day tomorrow. And the one next week too :o.

sorry for the complaints....just where I'm at today.

[mcj]

Hey Alecia...your cheat meal sounded great! :)

I hear you on the exhaustion. My cold has turned into a full on cough. And it's really tiring me. It's tough. I can't imagine working all that you do with being sick...no wonder you lost it at work!!!!

Hope you find some time to relax at some point...glad you got a little nap in yesterday!! :D

[yogini]

Alecia!

I'm sorry to hear that you feel under the weather at time :( I hope things pick up!

That's a nice workout you have there! but where are the weight numbers??? :p :p... well, at least someone had to find something to complain about here! :p :D

Joking!!!

Happy Monday.. errr... well.. mondays aren't usually the happy days, but oh well!

[twinnett]

Sounds like a great meal! Sorry you're not feeling great today though!

[StlBarbie]

WAVES BEAUTIFUL!!! :)
Hope tomorrow finds you feeling 100% and back to your sassy self!! :)

[Krissypoo]

Feel better, chica. :) Hell, french silk pie would make me feel good right about now! :p

Re: baked apples

Core the apple. Cut a small circle out of the top of the apple. You should have something that looks like a funnel shape inside the apple now. In a bowl, mix .25 cup oats, .5 tbs peanut butter, cinnamon, vanilla, and a little water. Stuff inside funnel shaped hole in apple. Loosely wrap in foil and bake in 350 degree oven until tender.

Done! :D

[soon2Bgoddess]

Oh those baked apples sound really yummy!

Being sickies make us wanna complain. Sorry you haven't been feeling too good! Feel better soon!

[yogini]

*knock knock!!!
Where have you being chica!!! I had to come all the way to page 3 just to find you!!! Get with the program! :D :D JOKING! I hope work is not too crazy!

BUMP THIS TO PAGE ONE!

[sherdi]

Hope you feel better soon Alecia!

[StlBarbie]

~~ WAVES HUN!!~~
How are you feeling today?????

At least it is :)HAPPY HuMp DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

[arose70]

Hey barb, sherd, kris, jenn, mary, tara, charity :). Thanks for keeping my journal alive :o.


I'm okay. My cold is better, although lingering a bit. I think my issues are more mental than anything. I also think I have adrenal fatigue. It helps when I sleep A LOT, I mean a ton, but when I don't I start feeling worse. Yesterday I got about 11 hours of sleep and I felt okay at home just resting. I also have zero appetite. I got about 1200 cals down yesterday.

So anyway, I'm still working out. Most of my energy is going there actually. Hubs went with this morning! :D Made me happy happy happy! He's the best :o.

My nutrition is great, if I can eat enough. Appetite loss started monday after my cheat--I felt sick so I didn't eat much. Continued yesterday but hopefully today I'll get to at least 1800.

Happy hump day gals :).

[Krissypoo]

Yikes...take care of yourself, girl. Needing 11 hours of sleep is a bit much. I'm glad you're feeling more rested, though. :) Now, get in those calories!

And YAY for hubs going to the gym with you! :D Is he not much into lifting?

Have a great Humday, chica.

[arose70]

Hey kris :).

Hubs is one of the genetic bodybuilding gods! I tell him that all the time and he doesn't believe me! ha! He is VERY broad shouldered, has huge lats and killer calves :D. And he doesn't lift much! He did for Cabo and put on incredible mass in about 2 months but also looses the mass he gains within about 2 months. So now he's just cardio-ing, trying to take off some fat. He is definitely a meso-endo so he would do great at bbing. Just not one of his passions. :o

[Krissypoo]

He sounds like my brother and. They can lift piddly weights and put on mass. My dad can do pushups for a couple of weeks and BOOM! Chest and triceps are born. :p

Hey, at least he doing something about his health. :) Does he eat pretty well?

[arose70]

Hey, at least he doing something about his health. :) Does he eat pretty well?
Yep! I'm proud of him for working out! Definitely never something he wants to do---but I always get so happy when he does it :).

He eats well-never enough cals but always good food--eggs, whole wheat bread, yogurt, fruit, meat when we have it, etc.

[soon2Bgoddess]

11 hours of sleep !!?? :eek: That's a lot of sleep! :) Hope you can get those cals back up!! Even if you don't feel hungry, try to eat if you can!! We don't want you to get any sicker!! :o

[arose70]

Fav song on the radio right now---

REO Speedwagon "Keep on Lovin You".

:D

I've seen them in concert!!!

[soon2Bgoddess]

Oh, I LOVE that song!!!! I LOVE their whole CD!!!! :D

[mcj]

Hey Alecia! :)

I hear you on the appetite loss....since I've been sick as well with the cold & now bronchitis..and not able to work out...my appetite has plumented. Hope your able to get your cal's back up there today.

Working out with the hubbys is great..isn't it? I love having Bry in the gym with me for support and just b/c it's more time to spend together...:D

Have you not been working since you've been sick?? Or are you still going going going?

Happy Hump Day!

[arose70]

hehe charity--i love them too--i feel crazy sometimes but I think they are just such an awesome group! Them and Steve Miller Band! I'll try to get my cals up thanks :o.

Mary--well I'm definitely not as sick as you are! And I think I've missed more work than you!! haha! oh well. I don't really care. Isnt it strange that we don't work out for an extra day or two and our bodies just kinda shut down? Weird. I took yesterday off of work and will take a day next week. I'm back though today...reluctantly.

[serinebean]

I too have had a loss of hunger. Nothing sounds good. And I listened to my body instead of force feeding it, and I feel better to be honest. I think the gut needs a break sometimes just like the mind and muscle. ;) :)
Sorry to hear of the stress....I think we can all relate to that breaking point. Its no fun. ~hugs~ Are you feeling a tad better today?
And I never sleep, but I think I got 9 the other day, which is double my norm....must be something in the air.
I feel ya girl. Keep that chin up! :D

[arose70]

Dow is over 12,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too serine, not forcing food--too gross right now! Thanks for the hugs :o. Working on feeling better. WOW! 9 hours is double your regular?! Yeesh, go to bed!

[yogini]

Alecia! yay, you are back!
How are you feeling? You sound so down :(... everything ok over there? feeling better?

How's hubby's writing coming along? :o

[emunah]

Is there something going around on the lack of hunger?

ugh.

[arose70]

How are you feeling? You sound so down :(... everything ok over there? feeling better?
meh...no comment.


How's hubby's writing coming along? :o
He's writing his discussion this weekend and will defend in 3 weeks probably! Before Thanksgiving for sure! I'm very happy for him :).

Emunah--not sure about this lack of hunger stuff--it sucks!

[yogini]

Hey Alecia! I hope things are going well over there! I'm a bit worried about you! :( Maybe you need a vacation!

Just making sure that things are going well over there!!!

As for the place to meet, we were thinking about Texas, I'm in Austin and Kris is in Houston, I think it would be a lot of fun. What do you say Kris?

[twinnett]

No appetite? That's sad. I have enough for everyone!! Hope you feel better! :D

[arose70]

As for the place to meet, we were thinking about Texas, I'm in Austin and Kris is in Houston, I think it would be a lot of fun. What do you say Kris?
Tx sounds great! I would love to visit :D. Perhaps in January or February?

Austin or Houston? Which one is cheaper for me to fly into :p?

[arose70]

No appetite? That's sad. I have enough for everyone!! Hope you feel better! :D
It is sad :).

I'm feeling better today thanks :).

[emunah]

I'll take some of your appetite. :)

[Krissypoo]

It's ~ equally expensed to go to either city. :)

Glad you are feeling a bit better today, chica. How's everything else going?

[arose70]

Thanks kris-i knew you'd know, being the lil party planner you are ;).

Things are showing signs of improving. Long chats with hubs have helped....although weird because he is almost an official psychologist and he will not do any type of therapy with me....so he's left to his own devices to listen and understand (which are 2 of his best qualities). That works well, but I guess I say its weird because I know there are other things he is thinking about (therapy wise) when I tell him stuff I'm feeling. I guess I'm just nosy and want to know what it is! He is doing the right thing---way weird to have your hubs be your therapist :eek:! He pointed out a lot of things that I can do to help myself and patterns that I fall in to (Kris I think you know my patterns all too well!).

I did a light leg workout yesterday and heavy everything else (just wanted to switch it up) and I have killer DOMS today? How does that happen? (I'm really asking, how come when I lift heavy, 1-3 reps, I don't get DOMS....when I lift light I get them like crazy?) same stretching routine and everything...

Anyway, got cals up to about 1700 yesterday. Gettin there. Today will be 1800-2000 (i'm hungry!).

Oh, and I have an update on Miss Nuttmeg--she is doing well. She passed her nurses exam! (I think that's new info) She's in classes full time and is being mom full time as well. If she would EMAIL ME BACK, I would have more happy updates from her.................:).

[Krissypoo]

Yes, I know the pattern. ;) You're lucky to have such a great guy in your life. Hopefully, his informal therapy will help get you out of that rut.

How high are your high rep days?

YAY for Megs! :D The last she told me was that she passed the math exam, but not the nurses exam. And she's in class! I need to email that little woman.

[arose70]

:o Thanks Kris, I know I'm lucky.....I'm thankful for it daily :).

The high reps are 12-15.

[Krissypoo]

That sort of training produces mucho lactic acid. Lactic acid is responsible for soreness.

:)

[arose70]

smarty pants *sticks out tongue*

[mcj]

Glad to hear things are getting better Alecia. That is VERY weird having your husband as a therapist...:eek: But that is so sweet how he is listening to you and trying to help...but not in a pyschologist type of way....:p What a good guy! ;)

[Krissypoo]

smarty pants *sticks out tongue*
:p

[yogini]

smarty pants *sticks out tongue*
That's an understatement about Kris :eek: :p

Hey you! glad to see that your day has picked up a bit :)
Sorry, been absent most of the day today, but here I am spamming your journal again! :D

[StlBarbie]

As I always say, you are a VERY blessed woman, Alecia!! :)

Hope you have a great day .. anything fun on the weekend agenda?:)

[arose70]

Hhhhhheeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyy Ladies :).

Thanks everyone, I am feeling better today...not 100%, but not 0% like the past few days :o.

Barb--thanks....I FEEL blessed.

Yogurt, kris, mary--thanks for keeping me alive.


Weekend plans? Well, I only have to work tonight and tomorrow night!!! So I am thrilled about not having to work all day tomorrow. That kills me! So yep, I *might* do something fun this weekend! WOO HOO! I haven't figured out what it is yet, but damnit, I will do something *I* want to do. (after I get done with homework of course :rolleyes:).

I'm taking care of a lot of things right now that will hopefully make me feel better, lessen my load, and allow me to relax a bit more.

This morning was cardio--elliptical 10 min, incline walking 20 min.

last night was BBALL!!!! It was GREAT! I shot around for an HOUR! There were a few others shooting around, one girl that plays for the team, so I just fed off their energy and kept shooting. Usually I would stop after about 20 minutes (boredome, frustration, tiredness). So that rocked. I was killin it too ;).

[mcj]

GREAT to hear Alecia!!!! :D Enjoy your weekend....relax and have fun!!!! You deserve it after that rough week of being sick and down a bit!!!!!

[Krissypoo]

You sound so much better in that post. That's great to see! :D I'm happy that things are smoothing out a bit. Go you!

Enjoy your half day off tomorrow. Sleep in!

[arose70]

Thanks guys :o. I'm sorry I get into these funks a lot :(. Hopefully I'll continue to pull myself outta this one.

Silly chica! what are you sorry about! *wacks Alecia with a dumbbell
No if I can only send Kris over there to strangle you with her quads so that you would never apologize to us again! :p

Have you seen the picture that Freedom put up? :D :D

Yeah! have nice weekend! party it up! shake it up! anything, you deserve the break :)

[yogini]

I like your idea of the gathering Alecia! :D :D wooohoooo... ok.. easy on the coffee..

[arose70]

*rubs head* Ouch! Damn yogs, at least kris and mary slapped me---you had to use dumbbells?!

You are hilarious with the :D's and Wooo hoooo's!

[yogini]

Oh but you should Alecia!!! that link kept me busy for a while there!!!
Dammit Kris! you are corrupting my virgin eyes!!! :P :D hahahaha

[arose70]

you are corrupting my virgin eyes!!!
Funniest thing I've read all day :p.

[yogini]

Funniest thing I've read all day :p.
Are you making fun of my innocence.. *sob *sob...

[arose70]

Are you making fun of my innocence.. *sob *sob...
ROFL! Great yogs, that's just great!

I guess we will see how innocent you REALLY are in Feb, eh?!

[yogini]

ROFL! Great yogs, that's just great!

I guess we will see how innocent you REALLY are in Feb, eh?!
All I have to say that anything uncharacteristic coming out of my innocent lips is the product of the corruption of me that has taken place in the forums...

I swear.. I'm an angel reincarnate! :D :D

*self note: stay away from the booze in February... :rolleyes:

[arose70]

You are on a roll today! :D

No booze :(. Will I be the only one having a drink or two?

[yogini]

You are on a roll today! :D

No booze :(. Will I be the only one having a drink or two?
Heck no!!! I'll start drinking when I know that all of you are at the stage of not being able to remember anything!! :D

And Kris.. you kidding me!!! I'm worried about what she might do!!! hmmm... I foresee police knocking already!!! KRISPO! THERE WILL BE NO PIMPING! unless you are pimping Alecia of course.. she needs the fun ;)

[arose70]

Heck no!!! I'll start drinking when I know that all of you are at the stage of not being able to remember anything!! :D

And Kris.. you kidding me!!! I'm worried about what she might do!!! hmmm... I foresee police knocking already!!! KRISPO! THERE WILL BE NO PIMPING! unless you are pimping Alecia of course.. she needs the fun ;)
NO Pimping for me! :eek:! That is beyond my realm of fun :o.

And I don't drink like I used to---no "not remembering" anything for me! Lets not forget that I am a married woman here :).

[yogini]

No worries... we won't corrupt you that much..
I think one victim of corruption (that would be me btw) is more than enough.. *sighs... :rolleyes:

[arose70]

hahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Oh yogs, the only person that corrupted you here was a girl by the name of kris:p.

Have a great weekend!

[yogini]

Girl!!! why are you on page 3????
darn it, someone needs to keep you on track! :p
here! page 1 :D

[StlBarbie]

Hope you have a great day Alecia!! :)

[arose70]

Thanks yogs :).

You should talk barb!


Hi everyone. Had a good weekend (finally). Got to sleep a lot and not work so much. It was great. I even sold my bike that I've been trying to sell forever! For the asking price (which was $20 more than I paid for it so go me!)! Got all my homework done, spent some time with hubs, made plans with my mom for a visit. All is good. My mom is coming for a week :eek: in december--to see me graduate and then to spend some time here! It will be really fun, but I hope she doesn't feel bad because she's leaving the 22nd of December and I'm staying in Florida so I won't be there for Christmas. I think she'd be okay if someone was here that I could spend christmas with but hubs is going home as well the week before. I don't mind a bit so hopefully she won't either!

I had my cheat meal last night--good stuff. bbq chicken nachos shared with hubs, a grilled chicken salad (boring), and a nice big piece o chocolate cake shared with hubs! YUM! It was great, and not toooooo bad with all the sharing going on!

This week will be a good week :o. Hubs bday is on friday and I am PUMPED! I LOVE his bday! We will be going to dinner and to Saw 3 and then maybe a street party on saturday night for halloween. Fun stuff :).

WOrkouts have been moved to PM because of tiredness so tonight's workout will be full body plus cardio. Bball intramurals are supposed to start tonight but I haven't heard anything yet :confused:? I will call now :D.

[jeni5.0]

hi lady! im glad you are feeling better. :) tell your hubby happy birthday for me. you know, early birthday...cuz ill probably forget by friday. :rolleyes:

have a great day! again, im glad you're feeling better. good luck at bball too. hope you win. :)

[Krissypoo]

hahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Oh yogs, the only person that corrupted you here was a girl by the name of kris:p.
LIES!

YAY for having a good weekend. Looks like you didn't miss those extra tips at all since you sold your bike! :D And that cheat meal...*drool* chocolate cake. Damn you!

Happy Monday, Alecia!

[arose70]

hehe, i knew you'd see that one kris :D. Yup, the sale of the bike really helped with the $$. mmm...the cake was HEAVEN!

Hi Jeni! I keep calling the bball guy and there is no answer :(. Hope we can get to play!

[mcj]

Hubs bday is on friday and I am PUMPED! I LOVE his bday! We will be going to dinner and to Saw 3 and then maybe a street party on saturday night for halloween. Fun stuff :)
YAY!!!!!! I'm excited for Friday too......:D Ohhh you will HAVE to tell me how Saw 3 is....I'm so pysched to see it!!! We have plans all weekend this weekend..so I'm gonna have to wait to see it!!!!!! :eek:

Glad you had a good weekend....less work and more relaxing was definitely needed! :)

[arose70]

Hey Mary! I will let you know if it is good or not---I'm a bit skeptical because didn't the writer or producer die before finishing it? I heard he couldn't saw off his own foot to save his life....


:p just kiddin!


So I found out about bball---we have two games tonight-one person already can't play so I need this other guy to play in order not to forfeit. Hopefully he'll come. Its 3 on 3 so its the really good people from our real bball team :p-hopefully we'll do well!

I'm going to lift after work but I have to see if we can play tonight--might determine how hard I go :cool:.

[yogini]

Hey girl!

have a good time at the BB game if you make it! game after lifting? that's quite a workout!

Happy B-day to your hubby!!! I'll party it up for him all the way from Austin TX!!! :D :D heck.. I'll even party it on Saturday just for him!!! now now.. I'm a laid back sweet girl, but since it's your hubbies b-day... certain rules will be tossed aside! :D!!!

*sighs.. the sacrifices I make... :D

[soon2Bgoddess]

Hey, just catching up on like a billion pages of reading in your jounal!! :D I can't believe you have your own personal live-in therapist!! :D That would be great!!:D j/k I would probably take advantage of that if I were you, but I do like my live-in personal trainer! :)

And I'll join ya for drinks, but I'm with you on remembering things! I better behave or hubs may not let visit BB.com friends again! ;)

[yogini]

You know the rules ...
you can't post anywhere else ... UNTIL you post here!! :p

Hope you have a great day Alecia!! :)
My rules for you Alecia is post your last! Boom.. first one before I log off!! :D :D

Have a good one girl!

[StlBarbie]

You SOLD your BIKE?!!!!!!!!!???????????!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:
BAD!! ;)

THe hubs b-day sounds like it is going to be a good one!!!
Hope you have a great day woman!! :)

[arose70]

Hey Yogurt! Well, you will be partying FRIDAY and SATURDAY then!!! ha! Hubs bday is Friday :p. Thanks for the sacrifices, you know I appreciate it ;).

Hi Charity! No worries, I only like to have a drink or two now....crazy drunk is not the same when you are married, and it is no fun. We'll be sane together :).

Sooooooo, no games last night. BUMMER. One guy is out for the season--he thinks he tore his ACL, the other guy had a big paper due. So, hopefully we can make next week's game. I was pretty bummed. Got in a good full body moderate workout and about 20 minutes of shooting around though. It is HARD to shoot after lifting heavy (especially legs :eek:)!

This afternoon is cardio only. Then some homework.

Heroes is my new favorite show!!! VERY good! Of course until Nip/Tuck comes out on DVD :p.

Nutrition has been good--cals low yesterday, i'm not hungry after cheat meals but they will be back up today.

My skinny pants fit well again! 3 cheers!

[arose70]

You SOLD your BIKE?!!!!!!!!!???????????!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:
BAD!! ;)

THe hubs b-day sounds like it is going to be a good one!!!
Hope you have a great day woman!! :)
ROFL Powells!! hahahahahaha! I know *hangs head in shame*. It wasn't a very good bike anyway ;) Promise!

Thanks, I hope you have a good day too!

[Krissypoo]

My skinny pants fit well again! 3 cheers!
:D

YAY! I need to get on it because you're going to pass me by a long shot! Nice job, Alecia.

Are you guys going to dress up for the Halloween party?

[arose70]

YAY! I need to get on it because you're going to pass me by a long shot! Nice job, Alecia.

Are you guys going to dress up for the Halloween party?
That's right kris, you just watch that behind of yours---you never know when I'll pass ya! (although I have a ways to go :p)

No, we don't usually dress up for halloween stuff. We are usually too busy to find a costume and I typically have to work the night of the street party because its on a saturday. I don't this saturday so I'll actually be able to look nice if we do go (and not smell like seafood and cheesy biscuits)! The first year we went it must've been all the people from Fantasy Fest in Key West---they were all in body paint ONLY!!!!! :eek:!

[Krissypoo]

[arose70]

Ooooh, you get to dress nicely...what are you going to wear?
I'm not for sure if we're going yet to the actual street party--its up to hubs, his bday weekend :). For his bday night though I'll probably wear this killer white halter that is cut down past my boobs :eek:! He likes that one ;).

[Krissypoo]

[arose70]

OWWW OWWW!!!! *whistles* I'm sure his jaw will DROP!!!!!! Wonder if my hubs will wear anything low cut for my birthday......LOL (total joke there obviously).....:D Actually, I'll probably be the one dressed scandalous...;)
ROFL Mary!!! I bet Bryan will look AMAZING in a little vneck tank! Talk about whistles! :D.

Charity!!! My hubs ALWAYS sings to me "hoochie mama, hood rat, hood rat, hoochie mama"! I grew up in the city and went to a bit of a rough school so he thinks i'm this 'hood rat' now :p.

[jeni5.0]

sounds like you're gonna have a blast this weekend! and you get to show off some boob for hubby. :) im sure he'll think thats all the b-day present he needs! (well, besides all the sex. haha!!)

sorry you couldnt play b-ball. :( ill keep my fingers crossed for next week.

[arose70]

[yogini]

Well Alecia.. you know my tradition before bed... bump your thread! :D
Hope you have a good Thursday!

[arose70]

Well Alecia.. you know my tradition before bed... bump your thread! :D
Hope you have a good Thursday!
Too nice yogs, just too nice :). Thanks :o

So last night I did a full body with 15 minutes cardio after. I pulled something in the front of my shin again...it hurts :(. Its like a shin splint but it feels like the muscle is just hanging on to the tendons by a hair! That means cardio will probably be biking tonight--can't run, stair step, but maybe I could ellipticize for a bit. We'll see!

I hung out with my girlfriend last night---it was so fun :). I trained her this summer and she looked great and then we stopped working out together because my gym membership ran out to the one she goes to. She's put on some weight so I figured up her nutrition and workout plan. She's hilarious--it was good to get out and spend time with her. Hubs has been so busy lately!

I did well on my test last week. So that's a piece of good news.

I haven't been eating well at all this week? Staying within cal range but not so good food choices which is really bothering me. I took a week of my monotonous lunch of chili, so next week I'll be back to that which I think will help.

Work sucks as always, just gotta do it. Only 9.more.months until I'm outta here! woo hoo!

[sherdi]

Sorry to hear about your injury :(

Try not to worry so much about the nutrition....we all need breaks from it from time to time! As long as your calorie range was okay, you'll be okay! :)

Hope you have a good Thursday!

[StlBarbie]

AH .. an injury???? What's up with that shin??

Um .. staying within your caloric range is much better than I did last night!!:eek:

Have a good one! :)

[Krissypoo]

Take care of that leg, missy. :) We don't need you getting too bumped and bruised. Is your friend going to start training again since you created her a new nutrition plan?

9 months isn't long at all! YAY! I'm sure you'll be doing a countdown as it gets closer.

[mcj]

Sorry to hear that you hurt your shin....:( Booo..hope it feels better soon. You've got to be in tip top shape for hubs birthday celebration tomorrow...:D

I LOVE doing workout and nutrition plans for my friends/family. I did one for my sister and I did one for my friend. My other girlfriend wants me to give her one too. It's fun. And it's so great when people actually start "trusting" what you're saying and change their ways and then see the results!!!! It's great to help others out like that!

So what happens in 9 mos....do you have a new job...i'm probably late on this one. :o

[arose70]

Thanks sherri---yea, bad food really makes ya feel like crap! Even within cal ranges!!

Barb! They didn't even play last night and you went all out!!??! HA! Yes, I'll be nursing my shin back to health hopefully by saturday when I have to work!

Kris--she's doing her bowflex and cardio. Its about as much as I could get her to do for now. Which is great, she just needs to start being consistent with her diet. The countdown shall begin in a few months (I don't want to put "9 months to go"--people with think I'm prego!).

Hi Mary--It is nice when they start trusting you. This girl is always amazed at how much I have her eat (still only 1600-1800 cals)! Then I say, well, the meals you have been eating have obviously been more cals than that so suck it up and eat the good stuff! Okay, so not as harsh but reality sucks sometimes and it never hurts to throw a teensy bit of it to some people :). I MOVE IN 9 MONTHS!!!! *CHEERS* *WOO HOO's* Hubs is in his last academic year of his doctorate program and then he goes on internship for one year (starting in August) so we will be outta FL! YES! He's applying to 18 sites from Colorado to Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, NJ, Penn, NY, and I think that's all the states? So I am pumped to get out of here and to get a new job. We have a tricky situation with my job now because one of the benefits of working at this university is that the employee and dependent get tuition remission.....and its private so that's mega bucks. I'd have to find a REALLY good job right now to be able to make enough to pay tuition out of pocket and the rest of our expenses. That's why I think I'm giving up right now on the job search here. I'll be gone soon enough.

Hmmm, that was really long :o. Sorry!

[soon2Bgoddess]

Ouch! That shin injury sounds painful!! I didn't make that great of food choices this last week either. I ate decent calories & low-fat, but not that great for BBing! Oh well, we will have to make up for it this week!

9 months? No baby, right? LOL! j/k! :D

MMMMMMMmmmmm I LOVE Chili!!! It's one of my fav's!

[soon2Bgoddess]

Is Texas is that list of states he's applying in????????

[arose70]

Boring day, yes......and I'm tired---this limiting caffeine thing is taking its toll! I don't wanna do cardio tonight *pouts*

If you don't feel up to the weather, just skip it :) and do the cardio tomorrow when you are more energized! it would be more efficient anyway :)

[arose70]

I have to do cardio tomorrow too :o. I'll just go. I need it ;).

Ya know, I gotta prepare myself for mucho birthday celebrations which means mucho food-o! :p

[arose70]

g'night everyone--see you tomorrow for Mary's bday :p.

[Krissypoo]

I hope cardio went well, Alecia. Almost party time for your hubs, too! :p

[yogini]

g'night everyone--see you tomorrow for Mary's bday :p.
Yup yup! we'll celebrate it for sure!!! and your hubbies as well!!! :D
bump bump! :D

[arose70]

Yogs, I like your bumps in the wee morning hours :D. Makes me feel special :).

HALLO PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! ITS HUBS' BIRTHDAY!!! WOO HOO!!!!

I woke him up early so we could take his car in to get his radio fixed. He got his battery changed about 1-2 years ago and there is some security thing that makes your radio not work after that :mad:. So he's been without one for that long. That is one of my gifts to him for his bday. :D

Clean cardio last night (yep, you read it right kris). Descending sets from 12. Working my way up to starting with 20 reps! Tried the bike but it hurt my shin so I did the hang cleans and then ellipticled for 10 minutes. No cardio this morning---I didn't have enough time to do that and look super cute for hubs' bday ;).

Well I figure I'll post my stats and we can all see what a big butt I have :p.

Height: 6'
Weight: 180
Bust: 37
Waist: 28.5
Lower abs (belly button): 33.5
Around hip bones: 37
Butt: 42.5

So there we go. By graduation (December 16) I'd like to get my waist below 28", lower abs bleow 32", hips bones below 36", and butt below 41.5" (that's a toughy).

Oh, and I fit into a size 9 junior dress yesterday :eek smilie:! It was WAY too short but really cute and it fit.......haven't been a single digit since my 9/10 years in junior high :winking smilie:.

SMILIE POLICE CAN KISS MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!

[Krissypoo]

You better not be complaining about those stats, girlie! You have a 28.5'' waist and you're friggin' 6 feet tall! :D And you can get those numbers down...I know it. :)

Congrats on getting into that single digit size. :p Ah...the little things, right?

Happy Birthday to Scott! :D

[GyMgrrrL]

Happy birthday to the hubbs!

Great job gettin' into those 9's! I'm workin on it, too ;) Have a wonderful day with your hubby :)

[arose70]

I only fit into the 9 dress---no way in hell I could fit into a size 9 jean! Wow, that would be the day :eek: :D!

[Krissypoo]

YAY for ghetto asses! :rolleyes:

[GyMgrrrL]

YAY for ghetto asses! :rolleyes:

Haha! I'm with yah there!
But none-the-less, be it a dress or jeans, its a great accomplishment to get down to the single digits! Good job Arose! ;)

[soon2Bgoddess]

You are doing great Alecia! ;) Have fun with hubby for his Bday! I'm not even thinking about what my pants size is anymore! We are so tall anyways, if you go down on pants size, the pants will be too short! :D Then you will look like a dork :p

[arose70]

ROFL Kris!

Thanks Sarah :D!

Hi Charity! We've been having a great day already :). Drr, tell me about pants lengths! I keep finding cute ones but damnit if they are 33" inseam! I need 35-36" inseam :(.

Hubs got his thesis defense date today :eek:! Nov 17....he is so excited and relieved to be getting it done!! Woo Hoo!!!

[soon2Bgoddess]

I HATE shopping for pants! Most stores do not make any pants long enough! It's gotten easier though since my size went up :o

[yogini]

Hmmmm.... I wish I had that problem :o

[soon2Bgoddess]

Hmmmm.... I wish I had that problem :o

LOL! Why would you wish you had a problem!!?? :D j/k

Anyways, I wish I was a cute size like you!! ;)

[yogini]

Anyways, I wish I was a cute size like you!! ;)
LOL... not really... especially when you try to reach something at the top of the shelf :D ;)

Hi Alecia! A bump before my bedtime! :D

[StlBarbie]

OH!! I just hate trying to get pants long enough ... I order most of mine on line ... 34" length works for me!!!

Hope you have a great weekend Alecia!! :)

[mcj]

g'night everyone--see you tomorrow for Mary's bday :p.
YAYYYYYYY! :D Thanks Alecia!!!!! :D

HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY to your hubs!!! I hope he enjoyed his as much as I enjoyed mine!!!! :D I want to hear all about it!!!!!

34" seam works perfect for me too! But hard to find! That's why I get all my jeans and pants now from Victoria Secret! :)

[twinnett]

I get my jeans at Express...love them and they come in long!

[soon2Bgoddess]

I like The Buckle for long jeans :) They're so pricey though! I wish I could shop somewhere else & get them cheaper! I'd be scared to order them online though! What if they make my butt look funny??!! :eek:

[yogini]

Bump girl!

How was you hubbies b-day?
Catch up with you again tomorrow.. bedtime for me :)

[arose70]

Hallo Everyone :). Thanks for the bump yogurt! HI charity, tara, mary, barb, kris, and sarah!!

I checked out vs jeans and they are cute--but a bit pricey :(. Jeans are so hard to find though, I might just have to bite the bullet on that one...also, I usually need a 35" inseam and they only go to 34" but they might work!

Thanks for all the well wishes for hubs bday!!! It was great!!!!! We went out around town for lunch on Friday (my doc appt), went shopping, got ice cream, hung out. It was awesome except my boss saw me taking hubs shopping :eek:! She told me she saw me but didn't say anything else.....yikes.

Friday night we went to Outback and then to Saw III! It was GOOD! A lot different than the first two but still a really good movie. totally different story line---but I will stop there for I know a few other Saw people are reading :D.

Saturday I had to work, it was so-so. I only worked lunch and was outta there early with a good amount of $$ so I was happy. I went and bought my graduation dress ($13!!!) and I just need to make one little alteration on it (it was a size too big).

Then hubs and I went shopping again for shoes for him--didn't find any. We went to dinner again and then to barnes and noble to read books and magazines and talk about our future goals. It was so nice to be able to spend so much time with him.

Yesterday I slept a lot and then hubs and I went to the beach for coffee and rented Inside Man. Way long and not so great of a movie.

So it was a GREAT weekend, although I ate like a pig for two days (really, really bad)! I was back on track yesterday though---even though I really wanted some donuts :p.



This morning's workout was full body. Will be walking at lunch and tonight I for sure have a bball game!!!!

Happy Monday!

[soon2Bgoddess]

Wow! Sounds like you had the best weekend ever!!! :D Really, that's just sounds so nice & relaxing! That's the kind of stuff me & my hubs like to do too! Although we cannot go to the beach for coffee :) (I wish!) Awesome bargain on the dress!

[GyMgrrrL]

Hi girly! Sounds like you had an amazing weekend with hubs! I love relaxing weekends.. they're the best! Oh, and Coffee at the beach, my favorite! Its best first thing in the morning when the sun comes up and its all chilly with a nice hot coffee, yum! Where do you live??
Have a good monday!

[arose70]

Hi Charity and Sarah :)!

Sarah--I live in FL--but will be moving in 9 months! we went at sunset to the beach, even though the sun doesn't set over the ocean, it was still purty :p.



Went for a walk at lunch--30 minutes. I made my chili last night and had been using 93/7 ground beef. Well, I bought ground turkey last night and I thought I had the 99% lean stuff but NO, it was full fat :o. So I made my chili anyway and DAMN, that stuff is GOOD. Who knew what a bunch of extra fat would do?! ha! I drained it as best I could, even smushed it all down to drain more fat! Still fits in my goals---I only eat 2 oz a day of the actual meat so I think I'll be fine :).

Day 2 of zero caffeine is so-so. Mega headache about 1/2 hour ago. Feeling better now that I ate. Decaf coffee just isn't the same!!!!!

[soon2Bgoddess]

I got a strainer with really small holes & that way I can rinse the meat off with hot water after it cooks. It really helps with the meat that isn't as lean, but I do that even on the lean meat!

:eek: No caffeine? I guess I missed that! It must be tough!

[arose70]

Oh, that's a good idea charity about the meat--i will do that from now on (because I don't want to go back to lean stuff!).

Yep, no caffeine :(. I think its really messing with me and my body....so hopefully after a week or two of not-so-good-feelings, I can be better than ever!

[GyMgrrrL]

oooh FL, nice! I've only been there once and it was when I was a kiddo for Space Camp so I didnt really get to do much sight-seeing. I think it would be weird to see the sunset the oposite direction of the ocean, trippy!
I just checked out your wedding pics in the beginning of your journal.. we are twins! :) hehe.

[soon2Bgoddess]

:D Yogi always knows how to get me excited! Yay! Party time in Alecia's journal again!!! :D :p

[yogini]
