I still can't believe I forgot about this website oh well. I'm blonde. I hurt my wrist around the 4th of July and haven't really been able to work out too much since then. It throbs everytime I run and it's kind of difficult to lift or anything with the damn brace on. grrrr. so that's a bummer. I have been doing 8 minute abs tho mega-consistently. food has been so-so. I had to work a sports camp last week and that forced me to eat regular meals and regular times...something i'm not used to. I did manage to get running in each night..but also drank some and had pizza with some pro football players one night! needless to say I KNOW i gained. but i think i'm back to normal now..i'm kinda scared to weigh myself..i'll give it another week. I'm in the process of buying my parents house right now, while they buy my grandma's estate. AHH! and that's semi stressful...i still haven't figured out if i eat more or less when i'm stressed. I guess it depends on the type of stress. hmm, that's it for now.

One of my best friends just bought a new bike!!! yesss I'm excited now i'll FINALLY have someone to ride with!! I really really want to slim down and tone up before classes start up again at the end of August..that means I need to get my butt in gear. I know i've lost weight this summer..but my jeans still fit the same..and i HATE it! i need to lose these thighs! I also want to tone up my arms but the dumbells i always used are packed up (they're my moms and they're moving)...so I think i might buy some tonight. My finace and I have cancelled our gym membership because we're buying a house and want to save all the money we can so we're not totally poor. i'm super bummed about giving up the gym but I have until September. I've been eating pretty crappy lately..BBQ ribs and summertime food like that..so that's not good. I'll just have to get my butt in gear and stop grilling out and drinking. AHH!

Summer time is killer for food! So many yummy things! lol. That's great about someone to bike with! Biking is so much fun and GREAT exercise for your thighs and butt AND Cardio!

You can buy cheap weights at Walmart I think and they're good for arms (just handheld ones)

I'm so tuckered out from work today, my wrist and feet hurt, i just wanna sit..but i'm forcing myself to go run. I may suck today, but I know i'll feel good about myself. So out I go!!

I ate pretty good today, but I have to eat hamburger helper for dinner and I know that's not the healthiest thing. woops. didn't buy weights last night...1 10lb weight was 10 bucks!! i'm not payin 20bucks for that! grrr I shall have to shop around

Good for you for going for a run even when you're not feelin' it - Did you feel better after? I usually do

~nicole~

Thanks! I did feel great after my run! Just as I was leaving my house I saw a guy about 50meters ahead running..so I followed him and caught up to him! It felt just like running cross country again! I am facing the same blahs today tho about running...it's really hot out and i'm starving and tired from work...hopefully I'll get my butt out agian. yes, yes i will.

It's hard when the weather is not co-operating - maybe try to get out earlier or later in the evening ? I find if I can kick my butt out of bed for exercise, I feel great all day - but it's notan easy task

stupid womanly things are making me feel like crap today..and I really wanna go run. i'm wondering if a bike ride will be better..but i kinda doubt it since sitting here is starting to be a killer activity. I don't know that I've really lost weight lately..which is a bummer cuz i'm oh so close...but I hopped on the scale 2 days ago with wet mega thick long hair, pre-period time, and jeans on and weighed 134...so I'm thinking maybe I actually weigh 130ish?? I sure hope so. The only thing that's bumming me out is my jeans aren't fitting different..maybe in the waist but not in the butt and thighs were I want. I have really muscular thighs but i KNOW there's some flab on there i can get rid of! I just miss the way my jeans fit 2 years ago i want that baaaack!! I've also been getting annoyed with my arms lately..I really want to tone them up but need some dumbells..I just don't wanna spend so much on them. grrr. I'm gonna go workout no matter what i feel like.

on another note..I've realized that I am at the same weight I was for most of high school..then 2 years ago I got down to around 128-124ish without trying..it was wonderful. So it's probably gonna be pretty tough to get to 124. I'm sure gonna try, but I don't think i'll get upset if I don't make it. As long as I get to 128-126 that'll be splendid. Then once I get there I'll stop stressing/worrying about my weight and those 2 pounds will probably just fall off. I've got it under control. lol

Oh man I LOVE pb on celery - I just started having it the other day and it makes a great crunchy late night snack

i'm feeling huge and discouraged..even tho I know i'm not. just not in a good mood. missed my run today cuz I had to go eat dinner with the almost in-laws right after work. I woulda ran this morning had I known about it.

well..i was really down about myself a few days ago. but then i went out with my best friend for her sisters wedding reception and her parents thought I looked a lot thinner and had lost weight! exciting!!! that made my day, but I still feel bummed since my stupid jeans don't fit any looser in the thighs/butt. grrrrrrrrrrr. 8 more pounds and i know they will! too bad i've been stuck at 8 lbs for quite some time.

I finally got those dumbells!! yesssssss

Hey! Sounds like you're doing well - and sorry I wasn't around to cheer you up a few days ago - glad you're back to being positive - don't stress about the jeans They'll fit just fine soon enough - Keep up the hard work!

well my fall clinicals have started up and i am busssyyyyy! I'm worried about not finding time/wanting to find time to workout once classes get going next week on top of clinicals. ew. I was worried about not doing well this week cuz i was working a ton, but i lost 2 pounds! I don't know how it happend. I joined a challenge to lose 2 pounds a week in august hoping it would give me more motivation or something since i've been stuck forever...well something sure happened! anyway I gotta get going, back to work.
