The Chronicles of Turkey!

Pretty neat, hey??



Oooh, that's what it was like here at the beginning of this week Lately it's been 43 Too hot!

Thanks I'm a little worried about the credit check! We haven't paid on our loans yet and they might not like that, even though we have a steady income :/ Hoping for the best though.

It should be ok, just tell them you have a plan in place for repayment of your loans. You both have steady jobs which will be able to pay for the apartment and that's the main thing. I'm sure you'll be fine. Really sell yourselves as clean, tidy and respectful people. Good luck

Haha! That's the plan I guess worse case scenario we'll need a co-signer, and that's do-able as well

********************

Anyone know about benefit plans? I have 2 sets of benefits now, one with the university from Stephen and one from my work. They BOTH pay 80% of what I'm getting done at the dentist today. I already printed off and filled out a claims form from here. So there's no need to print off the university one is there?? I don't mail in 2 forms (one from each different insurance) and combine the benefits plans somehow?? Just claim the cost from one place?

Hi chickie! Sorry it's so damn hot and you're hangry Maybe you should get a lil snack from the vending machine even if it doesn't fit your macros. Don't want you chewing on the dentist's hand when it's in your mouth, haha.

Hope you a.) like the apartment and b.) are able to get it!

HI!!!! Thanks!!!!! I did! I got a dark chocolate chunk Quaker granola bar with fiber and omegas. Could have been worse! It was tasty

Thanks We now have 5 different viewings in 4 days

Hey guys, quick drive by post! Just bought some noodles and tofu at the asian store next to the dentists office. The whole package was in japanese except for the nutrition info. Look how many crabs are in my tofu!

He he! I thought it was so silly Not making fun, just thought it was cute!!!

[gobbles23]

Hoy! Made a little mistake yesterday! I thought that house was in Kitchener because there's a street with the name name and address, but it was in Waterloo Needless to say, we were not travelling to waterloo at 9:00 at night But that's ok, two houses to see tonight A bit more pricey, but if we had to get the apartment upstairs we would have been paying ~900 anyway. The loft was even more!

Dental appointment went well! Teeth are fine, cleaning was cancelled so re-scheduled it and will get a chip that's gone out of one of my teeth fixed (not noticeable at all) Then they're sending me to an orthodontist to get wisdom teeth checked on. She said I could most likely get Invisalign so that's exciting! Then they were all "ok, we'll bill you later. Have a good day!" I'm all "......huh?" wallet in hand. "It's fine, you're done!" .....Ok??? lol! Yup.

The heat is supposed to die down tomorrow! I will do a leg workout! And vertical push-pull tomorrow, so I'll still get my 3 workouts in this week. Ack, my hair is driving me nuts! Feels like I didn't rinse it well enough. Grr. Ahh, yeah, so viewing 2 apartments tonight! Will let you know how that went tomorrow! Happy Friday!

Shocker they re-scheduled! I'm viewing 3 tomorrow! I love house hunting

[gobbles23]

Hahaha! This is a different dentist Apparently they have a hygienist up here that does the cleaning, and she went home early that day because she was sick I still got x-rays and a check up done

Good luck with the house hunting! I'm pretty excited, I've gotta say

[schnauzers]

Oh, herro! Crabs will make you stwong.

Bahahahaha.

gobbles I hope you find a place you love! Just reading your posts about living sans A/C makes me sweat. I can't imagine working out in that heat. My gym is air conditioned and it's still been almost unbearable for me in the last few weeks.

[-Lucifer]

Turkey, you should have shown them your boobs. I bet they would forgo the bill then.

[LHarwood]

Happy Friday lovely.

Shame the apartment wasn't where you thought it was..nevermind..onto the next one

[gobbles23]

Bahahahaha.

He he he!

Yeah, it's pretty rough!!! Hopefully though when we get a new apartment we can get an air conditioning unit! Something we can fit in a window or something

Turkey, you should have shown them your boobs. I bet they would forgo the bill then.

They were all women! Hahaha! Bill is nothing anyway, insurance is awesome!

Happy Friday lovely.

Happy Friday

I know, I'm kind of feeling like I may have missed out on a good opportunity! This is one of the ones we're seeing today and it's pretty nice too Fully furnished if we want it to be! Not much to go on though, the pictures suck!

[LHarwood]

That's really nice, my fave so far. Good luck with it.

[LoveMyInk]

good luck finding a place!

[gobbles23]

That's really nice, my fave so far. Good luck with it.

I was just looking at it on googlemaps! The area is really bland :/ just town houses and buildings and square cut properties :/ Don't know how I feel about that! Hahahahaha! Oy, this is hard work! And the other one we were going to see right after it doesn't have a stove :/ Still excited about the one tomorrow next to the gym, but that one doesn't have laundry! Bah!

Thanks

good luck finding a place!

Thank you! I think we're going to need it Hahaha! Damn this is hard! Fun though

[gobbles23]

Ok, so BOTH of the places I was going to go see today have no ovens. One place just has a few burners on the counter, the other place has nothing, we can go upstairs to use it infrequently, or 'maybe we can give you a hot plate to cook.' <-- that's what she actually said to me. Really. Really!?

Apparently having an oven in a basement is a fire hazard in Waterloo. Not in Kitchener, just Waterloo So scratch those. On the other hand, we DID however, find another place to view after work. It did not have pictures of the inside of the house so I have no idea what to expect. I guess we'll find out in an hour

In other news, while this leaning out thing is pretty cool, it's incredibly dull and boring. I'm about ready to start eating more and lifting more. I'm not bulking, not during the summer at least, but I intend to eat more (not go all out, keeping everything tight-ish still because I don't want to gain anything at this point....I just want the energy to train harder.....around 1800-2000 cals should do) and start taking creatine to help in the strength department. I will start the upper lower split I posted yesterday as well. I will have to keep improvising until I have a bench.

The only thing I actually hate doing at the moment is heavy floor presses, so I'll keep those in the 6-8 rep range. I will do legs tomorrow and see what I can do! Might have to gradually add in volume. hahahaha! Yup, off in about 25 minutes, so I am going to go figure out what tomorrow's workout will look like So not in the mood to work today!

Hi Lori- back catching up!

[LHarwood]

How random is that? No ovens. Very strange.

Enjoy them extra cals. I think itll make all the difference

Lets hope the newest viewing is more of a success

[schnauzers]

No ovens? A hot plate to cook? Yikes! What did the previous tenant do...eat instant food prepared with a kettle and hot water?

Probably went to their parents? Or ate the furniture.

Do they even lift?...



...doubt it.

[thehobbes]

Never thought I'd say this but the no oven would be a deal breaker for me. I cook daily, dem proteinz.

Clearly whoever made that decision doesn't even lift.

[gobbles23]

Hi Lori- back catching up!

Hey there! Good to see you back

Very strange I think they're afraid all the university students in Waterloo will burn their houses down if they use the oven! The place is over-run with them in the fall.

Thanks! Still on the ropes about it, though cals have been 1900 one day, 1400 yesterday, new weekday low on the scale today, probably about 1800 today...Seeing new definition is kind of neat! Feeling a bit run down though so it may be time for a break......ramble ramble

Thanks! Such a crazy day today. No viewing. Freak, super severe thunder storm! Trees falling everywhere. In the middle of roads, breaking telephone poles, telephone wires on buses, cops and ambulances everywhere, garbage and detours galore. Power outages! Crazy day! Monday we see that place now.

I know hey!? What the hell? What'd they live off Kraft dinner and beer???

Probably went to their parents? Or ate the furniture.

Do they even lift?...



...doubt it.

Or the furniture, that'd be a nice meal

No, they definitely don't lift...no oven is a lifters nightmare

Never thought I'd say this but the no oven would be a deal breaker for me. I cook daily, dem proteinz.

Clearly whoever made that decision doesn't even lift.

Really though!? The insanity of it all! First thing Stephen said....What about my chicken strips!?

*************
Two silly little drunken videos coming up I was suddenly filled with the motivation to go do a chin-up with 35lbs strapped to my waist. On closer inspection



it appears I did not hang down all the way before I pulled up. But, it felt heavy....Haha! I'll work on it!!! And then I attempted pull-ups. I did 2.75!!!!! That's coming too, in the next post because I probably can't post it in this one. Ignore my hair, it's half wet, half dry, and un-brushed. Ok, hold on...

[gobbles23]

[LHarwood]

Drunken chin ups. ..


Love it.

[dreahere]

These people be trippin' trying to charge $900 for an apartment without a real kitchen. But I guess they think they can rent to students who live on Chipotle and Burger King But, damn, even my son, whose cooking skills are limited, uses the oven to make fish sticks

Happy Saturday, chickie! Did the crazy thunderstorms break the heat wave?

I know, right!? I'm still in disbelief!!!!

Happy Saturday! Yes. Yes it did It's much cooler here now!!!! I'm so excited!!! Humidex is only 31/88 today. Yay!!!!!

[gobbles23]

Hoy hoy! Weighed in at 123.0 again today, which I'll accept seeing as it's almost tom time and I'm always about 1 lb heavier during that week. Still not wanting to diet anymore but I feel so determined not to give in. lol! I keep seeing new things and I'm like ohhhh, that's cool! So I don't know. Whatever. Anyway, this morning we are biking over to the post office to pick up some things Stephen ordered. Then when we get back and eat and wash we're going to go see the apartment. It's a bit far away from our work/bus route though :/ So we're not sure about that one, but we're going to go see it anyway

We also have to gather some grocery items, but we might leave that until tomorrow. We were invited over to a bbq and it's beerfest weekend, but Stephen didn't get his id renewed after because he would have had to wait on it for weeks and there wasn't enough time. So I selfishly want to stay home this afternoon and do a leg workout, maybe bbq our own food, have some beers, and have some Stephen time

Yup! Yay Saturday! I love the weekend!!!! Happy Saturday!

[carbonmade78]

Hey Lori!! Happy weekend!

I hope your new home search goes quickly and painlessly! I hated house shopping. It was fun the first week or so - but then it just got tedious

Enjoy the cooler weather!!
