Thanks!! I will. I think I skimmed over that one other time but didn't really get into the meat of it. Funny because I have like 50 different things I have set out to read. I have articles stacked at the house that I still have to get through and stacks here at work. I just wish I could put them up to my head and osmosis would take place!!! I'll get back to you once I read it.iceprincess said:The best way I can explain it, is to have you go read the link below, and then come back and ask me questions!!

That is the author that brought the 5x5 program to light on EF, and he made an entire webpage for it. So check it out and let me know!

iceprincess said:You are SOOO welcome girl! I am the SAME way - I can't tell you how many articles I have printed out just waiting to be read!! I just don't have time to do it ALL!! I am all for the osmosis - let me know when you figure out how to do that!!

AND...I have been a little more touchy, feely then I normally am (if that makes any sense at all).

What's Happenin Fly??
Thanks for the reminder Treil, you are absolutely right! It is just hard when you have been under 120 for practically your whole life to see the number over that!! heehee I am still getting accustomed to it

scorpiogirl said:Hmmmmm......a little carb cycling! Interested to see how it works for ya'. Good luck!

We all shall see farily soon, a little bit of experimentation never hurt anyone!

Just checking in and keeping an eye on the carb cycling... as I'm also experimenting!
scorpiogirl said:[/color]
Of course you were, silly! Those cals ain't enough for ya' anymore. Eat up!
Seems that if I'm below 1400 anymore I'm just dying from hunger pangs! Eating gets to be a real pain in the arse when you don't have time and you're starving!
WoNderWoMan25 said:Just checking in and keeping an eye on the carb cycling... as I'm also experimenting!
I will have to keep my eye on your log as well!!
Thanksiceprincess said:You are so very welcome treil, though I only speak the truth!! I can't wait to see the final product...you are going to look amazing.
Keep our fingers crossed, and hopefully I will be there to see it in person!! WHOOAAA (I am VERY excited!!)
OH, BTW I LOVE the blonde hair!!
Yeah the girl at the gym said she likes me with blonde also. I have got a lot of compliments on being blonde. I had just as many when I was red too. Not so many when I went brown
treilin said:Thanks
I really hope you guys come that would be sooo sweet
It won't let me give you karma either
iceprincess said:Haaa - I am a little partial to blondes, will you be blonde for the show?
Nelmsjer and I are definitely trying our darned'st to make it. It is on our calender as of today!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool 
iceprincess said:I myself am learning how my body responds or doesn't respond, I am really excited about it!! We shall learn together WW!!! WHOOOAAA
treilin said:
Yes I will be blonde for the show. I decided that blonde looks better with a tan.. then my red hair. I plan on going back red this fall. People always say blondes get more attention... frankly I think it's the same as when I was red.
Who knows
Word of caution......low carb days will drain you. A couple hundred extra calories would probably feel pretty good! Just lookin' out for ya'!iceprincess said:I hear ya girl, but yesterday was LOW CARB day and 1200 is my allotted calories for the day, as I have it planned for now. I will see how and if my body responds, and then adjust accordingly.
But LOOK OUT today is HIGH CARB day with a CHEAT MEAL!!!!!!
I HATE low carb days!

Aries13 said:I miss my blonde locks... gave them up a few months ago and everyone seems to like my chocolate locks better... must be cuz Im all meditarranean about it.. tan all year and shit
I personally LOVE blonde hair.... red hair is soooo sexy (not to mention only 4% of women in the whole world are natural reds)..... I wanna be blonde again!

But, naturally I have red highlights, what people would call as strawberry blonde! So, I love RED's as well - they ROCK!
WoNderWoMan25 said:I am excited too! And I'm always interested in learning how other 'guinea pigs' respond.
I didn't expect a difference in the scale, or visually in the first week, but I see it - both places. I know y'all told me to chuck the scale, but I couldn't resist!!
I'll be carb cycling for 6 or 7 weeks, until Memorial Day - I head out on a 8 day cruise May 28th! What about you - your plans?
I would, however, LOVE to make my goal by July 14th heehee ) HOW EXCITING!! How long have you been carb cycling? It was heavenly!!! heehee Hope you have an even better weekend, any fun and exciting plans?

This go around, the longest stretch we have is one day low followed by a moderate followed by one day low...for now anyways. We are going to try it for a couple more weeks and then assess from there!! VERY MUCH SOO!!! It makes you feel like you are an idiot!!!
*Bunny* said:
heheheh
that is why I'm keeping it this color ...
Im jealous of your skin that's for sure ... couldn't tan if i wanted to anymore .. stoopid "C"
scorpiogirl said:So, I guess I'll be the only brunette at Treil's show? Dark hair, dark tan - just the way I like my men too! -lol
Happy training!!!!!!
You're doing great with the workouts and carb cycling so far. Did you guys get married in Iraq or get married in the States and immediately leave? I CAN'T WAIT to meet you both in person!! 
Now THAT is HOT!!
Roonytunes said:No such luck, SG....I'll be right there next to you with dark hair and dark skin.
I hope you enjoyed your macadamia cookies, IP!
Btw, happy belated 6 mth wedding anniversary to you and Nelms (just catching up on your log)....I didn't realize you were such newly weds
!! FUN FUN!!
I cannot WAIT to meet you TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
