Where did you get those tortilla's?? I'm going to HAVE to try those! Nice workout, good luck today!
They're called Smart Wraps, by LaToritilla Company, and I just got em at the grocery store here.. I was wrong- theres 8g of protein in em.. Amazing!~ I really hope they don't quit carrying them
MJ- thanks I knooowwww that its coming off, but man, ya just wanna see what ya wanna see lol. I think as soon as I hit like the 10-20lb mark I'll feel a lot different about what I'm losing.
Alright- so yesterday I had 26g fiber, BUT I did go to Applebees and had the orange chicken bowl again.. bleh. I only ate half, so that was good, but I did go to another friends house later and we drank some wine, so my calories were probably a bit over the top yesterday.
My workout was pretty good, last night was back stuff, so I did the rotary back, seated rows, iso lat, and then for cardio I did 35min and 12.7miles on the bike, and another 25min and 1.36miles on the treadmill.Tried to jog a little, that didn't work out so well, lol. Need to get into a little better shape before trying that noise again
Gonna go check on everyone, will be back later with tonights workout
Alright, today was one of those days... I didn't hafta open this morning, so I got to sleep in, and I slept in till 3PM, got 11 hours total!! Holy crap! I probly needed it after the last coupla days being so short on sleep. Fiber wise- had 28g that I could count- fiber 1 cereal(13g) for my 3 pm "breakfast", and lunch was a sand-wrap with those crazy amazing tortillas I got, so that was 12g of fiber. By the time I closed my store, I had only had 600 calories(and the only reason I had that many was cuz we got in these cute little organic cookies- so I hadta try em they were ok.. but had 3g fiber) so I went to dinner with a friend at Perkins. I had an omlette with egg beaters(less cals) and tons of veggies in it, and my friend looked at me like I was nuts cuz I scraped the cheese off the top of it, lol. Ohhh well, didn't need a huge amount of cals, even tho I DID have 2pieces of toast and some hash browns with it oops. Then I came home, and my sister had pizza! GAAA! Sooo I had a piece of that also...
As far as my workout goes, tonight was chest, and for that I did incline chest press, flat bench press, and rotary lat(I'm aware this is also for your back, but it does a pretty good job on chest also). Cardio was 30min and 11.14miles on bike, and 30min and 1.65miles on the treadmill. I was gonna do the stairmill, but EVERY time I looked at it, I freaked out a little, lol. Tomorrow maybe I'll try to get some time in on it again...

You're right, when you hit those 10 and 20 marks, it feels more real.
You're not alone, I still wish I were losing faster sometimes too. So far this week the scale has not shown a loss. I'm going to watch my sugar and salt the next two days, that usually does the trick before weigh in, I shed the extra water weight faster.
Short post tonight: food today- eh! Got in 28g of fiber that I could count(again), got home and ate two pieces leftover pizza( ) had a small blizzard, and then for supper had a veggie pita from pita pit(lettuce, sprouts, jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, etc.) on wheat, sooo I'm assuming theres a gram or two of fiber in there, but I'm not counting it.
It was realllly hot here today- and yeah, theres a bunch of you that live in CA that have WAY higher temps, but it was about 105, uberrrr hot, I have no ac in my house, and we decided to do the hallway flooring. BLEH!! Thursdays are bis and tris, and man, this was a heck of a workout for them... I had to saw all the doorjams in the hallways to fit the hardwood underneath, and I was just dripping sweat.. not a pretty image, I realize, but holy shiznit. I almost quit it was that bad. STILL didn't evenfinish the hall, and its not a big hall either.
The workout was an ok one- was gonna make tonight a killer "end" to my workout week, but I was beat, sooo tired, so this is what I did: tricep pulldowns, bicep curls, dips, assisted chinups- and on all of those I pushed harder than I've done since starting this thing, which is GOOD, but at the same time, and I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but my triceps always feel bruised after a hard workout, for at least two or three days. NOT looking forward to that, but at least with every movement I'll know that I worked hard
Cardio was just 35minutes and 12.85miles on the bike. I think I might start jump roping(just like I said I was gonna start the stair mill lol), just to switch things up a bit. We'll see. Anyway, 3pts today, will *try* to get three tomorrow..
Great work Jess! You are definately putting some effort in at the gym. I'm sure you'll see progress. Remember, its not about how fast we get there... its the fact that we're living a healthier lifestyle and those changes will come wether its this week or two months from now. Just keep working hard and watching what you eat!

heck yeah, just EATING healthier makes me feel better, but there is a plus and a negative to the Vegas competition- PLUS because I'm actually doing it, and doing as much as I can, as hard as I can. NEGATIVE becuz I'm losing zip! Gaa! I look more toned, which is obviously good, but seriously, ya just wanna SEE it on the scale
Had a bad day for food today... Ate a lot more cals(tho I couldn't say exactly) than I should've, and also between last night and tonight I drank 4 red beers and seven shots. Not as much as I've drank before, but still kind of a downer at the end of the week. But TOM is officially over- hoping to see a pound or two at the end of M2 W1, cuz this week I got ZERO! On the upside- its better than gaining weight, but you just hope that with doing an hour of cardio almost every night you would see major change. I'm sure I sound like I'm beating a dead horse, but I just can't get over it lol!
What is a red beer?? Sounds fun. haha Seven shots? Glad to see I wasn't the only wild person from WLF this weekend. Just hop back on the wagon and get back into it. Stick with it you have been working hard!
If you do gain or plateau, try mixing up the cardio some more to shock your body back into loss. Good luck!!

Think its called bloody beer other places, but we of ye ole class call it red beer lol. HA! Glad to know that I wasn't the only one iether!!!!!
Didn't go to the gym tonight, AND ate really bad so there are THREE points that I missed out on.. Just didn't feel good. In the past I've gone even if I've had a pretty bad headache, but this time I just couldn't budge. I'm gonna hafta definately make it up tomorrow if I don't wanna see a GAIN on the scale this Saturday Man. Wish I was gifted with friggin awesome genetics like my sister!!!
