Hi there ^_^

[nangiggles]

I use to have arms very defined and even when I was 180 pounds (yikes) I've always had muscular calves, Actually in the "good old days (teens) I use to be pretty cut, even had a six pack, I was in Tae-Kwon-Do for about 6 years (I'm actually a black belt) and that had me in great shape, then I moved back to the US for a year and BAM all those ben and jerry's double fudge cherry ice cream along with poor self really ruined me... in CR we didn't have so much crap food a decade ago so I stuffed myself when I lived in CA and NJ :s Smuckers PB&J also raised havoc....

Girl I know how you feel. I lived overseas for awhile and didn't have access to much of anything but beans, rice, chicken and tortillas. When I would visit the US I would have a list of places to hit and things to eat. I could easily gain 5lbs each trip. Of course, once I got back to 100 degree weather I would sweat the weight off! My sister and her family still live overseas and they do the same thing. This past trip in they stayed with me and you should have seen the junk in my house. My niece even sat at the table and ate icecream and cookies right in front of me. TURKEY.

You are doing great now - I'm really proud of you!

I've sadly "been" there more than once, after I came back to CR (Father was a diplomat so we traveled a bit) I stayed fat (5'1 180 pounds ) for about 4-5 years I got out of a psychologically abusive relationship and felt so damn good I started walking and swimming, in a single month I lost about 30 pounds and eventually ended up in 119 pounds which had me looking really good! but then I started working graveyard shift 6 days a week 10pm - 7a.m. and that brought me back up.... I made good money so I always ate out, McDonalds was like 4 blocks away from work and I slept 80% of my time off.... so bam to chubbo again, now I'm at 163 and I'm gonna make it down again! you'll see, you'll all see!!!!!!!!! buahahaha oh no wait I got carried away

 

[jeepchick]

Alright, Giggles show me/us. Yeah, I do think that you will make it to your goals because you know where you've been, know what you did and where you are going. JCK

 

[nangiggles]

Damn it... I had to skip breakfast because I've slept like 8 hours out of the last 48 hours, so earlier I went to the cafeteria here at work and they only had crap, as usual a chocolate cake winked at me so I ran like hell back to my station, 3 minutes ago they placed a promo and have 2x1 in desserts, bf bought in so we both had a dessert... shame on me.... but it was very good

I did graveyard shifts for a few years. They can really kick your ass. There really is no way to get used to them. Its just not worth it.

 

[jeepchick]

Is BF boyfriend or best friend? If it boyfriend he owes you some w/o loving ;}. There are worse ways of working off chocolate cake. If you are referring to a female- she owes you some mall walking- shoe shopping time. Now you have to make sure you eat something healthy to offset the sugar high/crash. JCK

Boyfriend ^_^

He works in the same place and schedule as we... so..... I see him when I wake up.... we car pool to the office.... we sit like 3 cubicles from eachother.... take lunch and break together.... carpool to the gym.... go to the gym.... back home.... and sleep together... RELOL oh, did I metion we have the same days off?

Sounds annoying but it's kinda nice we're really close ^_^

 

[jeepchick]

Wow, that is a lot of togetherness. DH and I are close but I enjoy the time he is away at the office but we've been together for 19 years. Okay, back to the choc. cake. It was good but was it worth the calories? I've tried to ask myself that question before I indulge. There are times that the answer is yes. Like tonight, I'm getting ready to go out with the girls and I definitely plan on having a glass of wine. I've stuck to my meal plan, had a good w/o and I have a 4.0 so I am going to enjoy my night out. JCK
