[dreahere]

Have a great time tonight, Ms Lori!

[gobbles23]

Hey darlin! I will be back to make a more in depth post after some running around. Just wanted to say you look fab

Aww, Thanks Erica!!!!

Look at that BACK!! OH MY!!
Lori, be careful on the streets. people are idiots!!!!
Good luck tomorrow and hope you have a great weekend. We want piccies remember!!

Haha!

I will- I was pretty cautious before, now I'm like a frightened kitten! To many close calls for my liking.

Thanks! I will get andrew to take a pic of us all dressed up before we leave....after that....I don't know what will happen. Hahaha!

Told ya! Ebay is what's upppp! Maybe talk to your hairstylist about styling your hair tomorrow if she has the time and seeing if she'll do it for cheaper than a straightener costs? haha

Totally! They're ~130 online, 200+ not online.

I was thinking about doing that, but I wasn't happy the last time she did it! It felt dry and staticy after...I'm taking chances now using my crap one, but I'll just have to do the best I can with it, I guess. Stupid hair! I'm sure it'll come out fine...I hope. Hahhaa!

[gobbles23]

Fast journal is fast! I guess I have been gone a while, though.

Oh. My. Goodness.

Seriously. Laughing out loud in the Halifax airport. This is why I love you, woman. <3

Ricki!!!! Hi!!!!!!! (smiley face)

Hahaha! I thought you'd enjoy that one

I want pics! This party is tonight, right? I'm excited for you! I hope you have a super awesome good time.

Tonight, not last night!! (smiley face) Thanks- I'm excited, kind of anxious, but excited! It'll be fun, I think! The staff in my company really like to drink, apparently. Hahaha! We're going to try to get out of there somewhat early, but being there at 5:30, even staying until 10:00 is a billion hours. Will try to take pics! If I don't get any at the party- someone will for the year book (yes, we have year books) and I'm sure they'll be a billion pics of everyone! Haha! I'll be able to look at them all next week, so if I see some there of us I'll post them!

Hahaha. Hubz was reading over my shoulder, and said, "So, Lori is discovering that Ontario actually gets SPRING, is she?" Haha. Good ole NL. We got 40cm of snow the day before we left for New Brunswick. Spring? What's that?! I love Spring in the GTA. Crisp in the morning, warms up as the day goes on. Enjoy it!

What, seriously!? 40 cm!!!!?? Crazy! It's actually still REALLY cold here yet- still -10 to -15 degrees in the mornings and nights, and maybe 5 in the afternoons. Brrr! We're getting a cold spell, apparently. It was beautiful out last weekend, but freezing ever since Lori's a sad panda.

Come on up, Red! You'll never go back! Haha

Those shoulder and back pics are awesome. You look freakin' amazing. I seriously aspire to be you, one of these days.

Aww, thanks Ricki!!! I'm quite happy with how things are starting to shape up Best year so far physique-wise!!! Yay! With how you've been killing it though- you'll be there in no time!!!

Have fun at the dinner, but maybe don't walk there until this streak ends!

Thanks!!!! Luckily no walking will be involved! Hahaha! Andrew's driving us there, we'll get the bus back but the stop is right outside and we don't have to cross the road!! Not until we get off, then there's 2 crossings.....But hopefully not much traffic in the night. lol!

Have a great time tonight, Ms Lori!

Thanks I hope we will!!

Another great leg workout in the books - also agree those kneeing squats look a bit scary glad your going to do it the other way next time don't need to hurt yourself! Love the pic of your back you have a nice taper and definitley have a great shape to work with. brb crying in my morning coffee LOL

Have a blast tonight can't wait to see pics!

[gobbles23]

Hey guys! Diet went great last night! Which is always hard for a friday. Hahaha! I think I had about 16-1700 cals, tops. Mental tally. Worse timing for TOM ever. My belly is poofed out so far. lol! Weight is still 124.8ish, but with TOM and being slightly backed up ( ) I'm expecting to be in the 123's next week. Feeling uber lean- last night I was brushing my teeth in a tank top and I could see the lines in my pecs and shoulders moving while my arm was moving. oh, and I almost destroyed andrew's wrist. lol!

I was walking to the bathroom to brush my teeth and andrew calls out "Murray! When's the next arm wrestling challenge!?" I immediately turned around and said "Right now!" and went back into the living room to take him on. I never turn down being called out. Hahaha! So we arm wrestled. Andrew's right arm was challenging for us both, but he took me down. His left arm? Hahaha! We were seriously in limbo for minutes, both of us red and shaking I almost had him but I ran out of gas and let him have it. It was funny!!!! He felt so defeated that I was so tough to beat. He wouldn't admit it at first though, he said his wrist had hurt him the moment we locked hands. It was fine after though, so he said - I don't know, maybe I'm just making excuses. Haha! I felt strong! Andrew's not weak!

Ok, I have to shower, put tanning lotion on, paint other foot before going shoe shopping, and all that stuff. I guess I'll be back tomorrow morning if I can! Tomorrow's laundry day- we have to leave here when andrew leaves for work around 11:30 am, so I don't know how much time we'll have...I'll try not to drink too much- hungover laundry day sucks1 Hoping to put the food tonight to good use tomorrow too, and do a full body power workout with box squats and deadlifts!

Aw, thanks!!!! Hahhaa! Should be better for the amount of years I've been a this lol!

Thanks, I'm excited! Such a busy day this will be though!

[Redfizz]

I totally related to your post! Since I haven't been drinking any wine in order to get my calories where they should be to cut, my tolerance is WAY down. Needless to say when I splurged on some nice vodka for martini(s) last night, today was not fun. At. All. lol

Lesson learned though!

Have a great full-body workout!

[ms_mac]

Have fun tonight and post lottsa pics!

[swooshie]

I'm so behind But have fun ... whatever it is you're doing

Trying hard to catch up! Happy weekend, Gobbs!

I'm so behind :ek: But have fun ... whatever it is you're doing

Hi Swooshie! It's ok- you're not missing much! Still dieting, workouts happen here and there, went to a dinner and dance party for work last night, that's about it

Happy weekend!

[pharty]

You still sleeping?

[gobbles23]

Ugh, shoot me please! I drank waaaay too much last night...I lost track. I think I drank 4 beer, 1 glass of wine, and had 2 shots. I think. My head is killing me this morning, an I already took some pills! lol! Poor Stephen had more than me and he was throwing up all night/morning. Poor guy, he's in lying down now. We left at about 10:30 and got the bus, but Stephen was too sick so we ended up getting off and walking home in the cold for at least an hour. Brrr! Luckily I brought jeans and boots and a hoodie to change into. The food was stingy, tasted ok, but portions were tiny. Overall it was pretty fun, but I am too pooped. And this screen hurts my eyes.

I've got lots of housework + laundry to do today, and that's about it. Tomorrow begins another week, just like last week. And the week before that. My life feels very monotonous at the moment! Feeling kind of blah about it. I'm wondering if I'll ever be trained on anything else at work, or what will happen when this contract ends. It's supposed to be the kind of contract that doesn't end, but I always wonder...I feel like I want something more challenging and involving, my job is boring. Ugh, anyway, I think the alcohol/sleepiness is making things worse Just remembered I was dreaming about chugging Gatorade all night

No appetite today....Was thinking of doing a little workout to sweat some crap out my my head hurts way too much. lol! Why do I do these things!? It was so fun at the time! Hahahahahaa! Oh well- cleaning and video games it is!

[gobbles23]

You still sleeping?

I wish!!!! I wanted to sleep more but my poor Stephen is too sick! Though he hasn't gotten sick in a while now, maybe he's better. I should go cook him something to eat!!

[pharty]

Ugh hangovers suck!!! Sorry you two aren't feeling super hot but you looked SMOKIN! Love love love the dress

[rickiecoombs]

Bahahaha.

Would love to meet this guy IRL.

I'll post for real when I get "home", Miss Lori - still en route. Ugh.

[MissKB]

You looked gorgeous! I can definitely see the tan Sorry you feel icky today...on the bright side...that hour long walk home probably did away with any extra calories lol

[dreahere]

1.) You looked very pretty, chickie.

2.) Hope you and Stephen are feeling much better by now.

3.) About the monotonous weeks? I don't mean to be an as*hole, but, um, welcome to the next 40 years of your life. Even when you really like your job, there are way way too many weeks when it seems like all you do is commute, work, commute, cook, clean, collapse, rinse, repeat x5 or 6 and what work consists of is alternating periods of mind-numbing boredom and incredible stress.

4.) I have kneeling squat video up in my journal.

[DieselsMom]

WOW you guys look fab - hope your feeling better now!

[wakechica]

Rockin' that dress lori! Wut, no after piccies? J/k - hope you're head is better

Rockin' that dress lori! Wut, no after piccies? J/k - hope you're head is better

lol! No one would want to see those Hahaha! I'll check the site later and see if there are any rogue pics of us at the party! lol!

Very glam in that dress! The headache will pass I always crave chinese food after a night of overindulging, no idea why but it makes me feel better.

It did- took a while though! Ouch! Mmm, Chinese! Might be the salt!!!!! I had zero appetite yesterday- I just nibbled all day

next time you drink.. before you both go to bed take a multivitamin and chug water

I wasn't capable of chugging water before bed- I was way too drunk/sick. I would have threw up for sure That was half my problem- I couldn't drink a thing before bed. I was SUPER dehydrated! Thanks for the advice though Next time! Haha!

[gobbles23]

Oooohh. Still think I've got beer sweats on the go. lol! Oy! Ok, I'm killing my deficit with my weekends- not too bad, still seeing progress, but I'm going to have to drag this out a little more. Thinking of trying to go for 8 weeks. This is my fifth, so 3 more weeks.

This is a crazy busy month for us. Next weekend is my birthday weekend. Then the Friday after that we're invited to a party. Then that following Thursday it's Administrative Professionals Day and all the admin staff are invited out to a pub for supper. Then that Saturday we're going to a concert.

So more time will be needed! lol! The third diet week (last week) I'll be raising cals to 1800 for a week, and then 2000 for the first week of my diet break, 2200 for the second. Slowly this time. Hate the bloat! Then I'll assess from there. That should be close to lori buys a new bikini day for the hot tub partys we'll be invited to soon!

Today will be leg day! Exciting!!!! WOop woop! Ugh, so bloated today my skin is tender all over. My clothes are hurting me!!!! Lots of water today, weigh-in on Friday, pics on Sunday. They were supposed to be this Sunday, but that wasn't happening

[-Lucifer]

Hi, Rapunzel. Had a fun weekend, I hope?

[gobbles23]

Hi, Rapunzel. Had a fun weekend, I hope?

Sure did! The funniest part is coming to work this morning and talking to everyone about the party! lol! One of my co-workers had challenged me to a shot challenge which I accepted, but then after we bailed she was looking for me because she wanted to do more shots! lol! She won that challenge for sure! Yesterday we vegged out and played Final Fantasy 8 and watched a crappy movie we turned off halfway. Went to bed early and passed out. It was fun!
