awww thanks so much girls you are all so awesome!!

Boy, I will definitely need all of your help durning this cutting cycle. Suggestions are very WELCOME!! Especially with my limited options! heehee

Good news though, they opened a "health food bar" at our cafeteria!! It still isn't PERFECT, but man it is a start!! I am SOO excited.

Great news!!! Even though you are cutting, just don't cut the cals too much ... my only suggestion. I'd rather have you eating more & doing some cardio than barely eating at all ... I gather from your previous posts, I know in the past this has been a concern (i.e. before EF) so be patient with the cut.

OH wow, we had an awesome vacation, but man is it good to be back "home". The vacation was so wonderful. Nelms and I got some much needed rest during it, as well as staying active and seeing some amazing things. We had one minor bump in the road, but were able to get through it and enjoy the rest of our vacation. So, I told you that I had a story for you all so...here it goes. Nelms and I were on a hike in New Zealand, enjoying ourselves thoroughly, it was absolutely amazing - NOTHING like anything we had ever seen. BUT, when we returned to our rental car, the back window was busted out and the side passenger door was open...Let me tell you how far my stomach dropped when I saw this (makes me sick just thinking about it). When we finally got to the car, all that was left in the car was A LOT of shattered glass. Everything that we owned had been stolen and all we had left, where the clothes on our back. Luckily, I had ALL the cash on me (except for about 40 dollars) and Jeremy had his license and ONE credit card. But, our passports, ID's, Clothes, makeup, toothbrush etc where all gone!! I can't begin to tell you how horrible it is to be in a foreign country and not have ANY identification on you!! After the shock of it all and pictures of the car, we headed back to the nearest town to report the incident to the police. We must have been at the police station for nearly 3 hours before we finally were able to leave. This all happened on a Thursday afternoon and we were due to fly to Mermaid's on that Saturday...we thought that there would be NO way that we would be able to pull it off, but we were determined to at least try. Considering we didn't have our passports and I had NO identification what so ever. So we got into our broken, ghetto rental car that night and headed toward Auckland (three hours away) to try and get our passports replaced ASAP. We arrived in Auckland about 1am Friday morning and we stopped at a grocery store to pick up some toothbrush's, toothpaste and a brush. We then stopped at a internet cafe to send emails to cancel checks, credit cards, as well as inform our company that we would be needing new travel orders and ID's to get back into the country. I think that we finally got to bed around 3 am and then were up again at 7am to head towards the embassy. To our surprise, the embassy was able to produce new passports for us in less then 5 hours. Nelms had to sign a waiver stating that I am who I said I was, but other then that, they hooked us up (200 dollars later)!! After retrieving our passports, we began the process of replacing our stuff, one item at a time. Man was it a pain in the butt and I HATE shopping!!! I think that we wore the ONE credit card that Nelms had OUT - It definitely set us back, but thankfully we have been blessed enough to have the means to replace majority of what we lost...except for the mementos that we had Mermaid and P where awesome as well, they went shopping with us the day after we arrived, as Nelms and I were still short pants and workout outfits. They were definitely troopers waiting for us everywhere - kudos to them, have I mentioned that they are awesome people? Just checking! So...that is the excitement that Nelms and I experienced on our vacation.

Thanks so much bunny - my goal is to keep my calories up as long as I can get away with it, and just increase my cardio - we will see what happens!! I would rather have the extra energy

You are very right though, in the past, it has been a huge concern. Nelms is trying to fix that though (he is so wonderful to me!)!! heehee

Damn Im sorry about what happened. Karma will take care of who ever did this to you guys. A-holes!!! I cant believe that all of you dealt with all that so 'calmly'. I dunno what the hell I would do .... I get angry just thinking about it.

OMG!!!! You two continue to amaze me ... you are such a great couple. I can;t wait to meet you both

It's all about the big picture:

1) We were safe and unharmed.
2) We have been truly blessed to be in a situation where we can recover from it, financially. 2 years ago, I truly don't know what I would have done.

So, yes, it sucked replacing everything. But we're both just thankful that we COULD.

Besides, we still got to see Mermaid and P on time. to Mermaid and P!!!

 

[scorpiogirl]

Must spread Karma before giving it to IP OR NELM's again!!!!!!

You are both awesome people and you are both ALSO very STRONG people (mentally & emotionally). You've got what it takes to get thru situations like what you've gone thru - obviously! I'm glad everything went smoothly at the Embassy and you're back safe.
