WW's New SUMMER Log ...

[BiggT]

Alright T, where are you? I had a really really great ground sirloin burger last night and thought I did ya proud - no boca burgers for this girl. I tried the birdseye steamperfect mixed veggies with it - broccoli, water chestnuts and carrots - I ate almost the entire bag myself!!

Meal 6 was two tbsp chunky ANPB

Somehow I missed a meal - no fiber one w/skim yesterday.

Sirloin? As in real, red meat? I am VERY proud of you. How did you season it?

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

Sirloin? As in real, red meat? I am VERY proud of you. How did you season it?

Nothing exciting - the red meat was exciting enough
I seasoned with garlic pepper and McCormick's salt-free steak seasoning. For next time, what do you recommend?

M1 - whey shake with 4 oz skim milk, water, ice and very small apple with 1 tsp anpb
M2 - 1/2 turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onion on low carb Italian herb bread with small Greek salad minus the dressing and olives
M3 - fiber one with skim
M4 - TBD
M5 - TBD

No workout tonight - Another high school football game. Then a semi-pro game tomorrow and the Hudson valley wine fest on Sunday!! (Yes, I am buying the $20 'taster' ticket).

 

[*Bunny*]

Yummy wine & red meat... SO GOOD. Have a great time..

 

[jenscats5]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM meatttttt.......

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

Bunny/Jen - Wow. Talk about a cheat day. I love my red wine, but I think I was more excited about the food than the wine. They had this 'soul food' and Caribbean vendor there - I shared a plate full of jerk chicken, collard greens, rice & beans, mac & cheese, beef patties and hot-out-of-the-oven corn bread. Other than that, there was a dessert wine that I bought - I'm thinking I could heat it and drizzle it over poached pears. Also tried a white wine sangria that was phenomenal.

 

[ck2006]

gOOD mORNING!

sounds yummmmmy!

My MOUTH is watering <-need wine smiley have a great week girl !

gOOD mORNING!

Hi CK! It was so good - And of course, my reservations about eating crap went out the window once I tasted some wine on an empty tummy. Fortunately, I didn't want to eat after the festival, so I had a protein shake before bed and woke up today back on track.

My MOUTH is watering <-need wine smiley have a great week girl !

You have no idea. I was tempted to ask the woman at the stand if I could pay her to come live with me and cook for me. She was over six feet tall, and built like a linebacker - very black/island looking, too. I imagine I would end up weighing 500 pounds, but it would probably be worth it.

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

M1 -- whey shake with water, ice, skim
M2 -- ezekiel wrap w/healthy choice ham and turkey, lettuce, tomato, onion
M3 -- med granny smith apple, 1 tbsp anpb

**WORKOUT** One Hour Cardio
I found that last week the elliptical machine felt too bouncy. I plan on 20 minutes incline treadmill @ 3.8 to 4 MPH and 40 minutes stationary bike.

M4 -- chicken breast, broccoli
M6 -- TBD, I need to grocery shop. The wine fest was more important yesterday. On the list are eggs, fresh/frozen veggies, sweet potatoes, tilapia or orange roughy.

Sounds like the perfect cheat day...yummy! That hot-out-of-the-over corn bread has me drooling just thinking about it

MEAL 5 -
Stopped by a farm market last night after the gym - picked up tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant. Also could resist a loaf of their fresh bread. Sautéed up the zucchini with EVOO and garlic last night to eat w/my chicken and some of the bread which was bangin'!!! I also sampled some of the tomatoes while I was cooking, yum.

MEAL 6-
two small handfuls frozen grapes

 

[sbt2082]

G'morning!!!

 

[ck2006]

Good morning!

I loooove fresh veggies and bread, are you going to cook up something special with them?

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

G'morning!!!

hi there - how are ya this morning?

Throwing my TO DO list in here hoping it will motivate me- someone get out their whip?

TONIGHT-
buy more muscle milk @ gym for coffee
get to the gym and to my sisters softball tournament tonight before the 8 PM big brother finale
put away the mountains of folded clothes currently housed on my love seat

THIS WEEK-
request - the 22nd off from work for my second scheduled post-op check up & massage -- want 'clearance' to get back to lifting light weights/upper body. currently feel like the biggest idiot curling the five-pounders.
shop - pick up more eggs and ground turkey - maybe even some frozen meals?? need suggestions on good ones.
shop - find the perfect fitting sports bra - I only have one *good* one now and I like sleeping in it. FYI, no more soreness on my right side but slight limitations to my range of motion... irritating than anything else. And sleeping still sucks! Sleeping on my side is getting better but on my back is just downright uncomfortable. Thinking about buying Tylenol PM or a sleep aide?
tweak resume, follow up on two phone interviews (AZ and MD)

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

Good morning!

I loooove fresh veggies and bread, are you going to cook up something special with them?

I'll need to stop by the recipe thread, or - Maybe you can help me out - any quick & easy suggestions? I want to make some salsa w/the tomatoes.

 

[BiggT]

Do you want me to whip you?

Muscle Milk is my favorite supplement, I don't know that it works any better than anything else, but it is by far the best tasting, lol.

For Sleep Aids, I never liked Tylenol PM because for me at least it never did a damn thing.......Unisom works.....so does Nyquil, although it supposedly isn't the easiest on the tummy.....but I never use them for more than a day or 2, lol, I don't want you thinking I have serious problems, lol.

If you do a frozen meal, anything by Stouffer's is the best tasting I think (even Lean Cuisine)....although if I eat a Lean Cuisine I usually have at least 3 of them, lol.

Tell the pink dumbells I said hi tonight.

 

[*Bunny*]

lol I saw this & thought of you

Not sure it would fit in the diet though. I prefer Chubby Hubby .. I actually got creative with the ANPB pretzels & ice cream one night & decided to concoct a generic version lol... BAD IDEA

 

[ck2006]

I'll need to stop by the recipe thread, or - Maybe you can help me out - any quick & easy suggestions? I want to make some salsa w/the tomatoes.

Salsa sounds good or there is a recipe where you take bread and a tomatoe and melt cheese over it and I think there are some spices and toast the bread(recipe thread might have it)
...or
stuffed tomatoes or
chilli

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

M1 - slice of my farmers market bread w/anpb and a whey shake with skim
M2 - ezekiel wrap with lite veggie cream cheese, 4 oz turkey, lettuce. baby carrots and celery. office candy dish had Nips candy which was mentioned in another thread so I tried one of those too.
M3 - med granny smith apple with 1 tbsp anpb

**WORKOUT** TBD

M4 - TBD
M5 - TBD

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

CK- Hmmm... yes salsa does sound good, maybe you are thinking of brushetta w/the toast? That's a great idea, esp with my bread that I bought!! What do you stuff the tomatoes with? I've only done stuffed peppers in the past..

Bunny- your bad idea sounds very very gooooood. Sunday is cheat day... can't wait!

T- I've love for you to! But watch it with the pink dumbbells or it will be the other way around! Muscle Milk is great tasting, esp. in coffee. Otherwise I stick with ON or twin lab... they taste pretty good too and I am picky w/stuff like that. I can't be choking down a shake....

For Sleep Aids, I have a pretty low tolerance so Tylenol PM might work on the nights where I have aches and pains and insomnia... I wouldn't think you had a problem unless you were telling me you were popping a few ambien nightly. How is the sodium w/Lean Cuisine? I usually add in more veggies to mine - if it's chicken and broccoli, I add in more frozen broccoli... or have a side salad. One frozen diet dinner isn't enough for me either

 

[BiggT]

WW.....Lean Cuisine isn't too, too horrendous on sodium for a frozen dinner, I THINK most are between 450-700mg at the most, but I may be wrong, so if I am, anybody can feel free to correct me......I am a big taste guy too, and like you, I can't stand choking down crap, and Stouffer's are the only frozen dinners I can stand, and I love ON Whey too, I never tried Twin Lab, but if you like it, I will keep it in mind.

 

[BiggT]

Actually, lol, that is a pretty horrendous amount of Sodium....BUT for a frozen dinner it is okay, lol.

brushetta is exactly what I was thinking, not sure what you stuff the tomatoes with I have only eaten them, I think there is cheese and peppers involved though, can you tell I am a big chef!

 

[sbt2082]

So how was the workout???

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

So how was the workout???

Bored to tears w/my cardio actually!! I did 45 minutes and lots of stretching, esp upper body. How 'bout you, need to stop by your log and be jealous, probably.

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

M1 - slice of my farmers market bread w/anpb and a whey shake with skim
M2 - ezekiel wrap with lite veggie cream cheese, 4 oz turkey, lettuce. baby carrots and celery. office candy dish had Nips candy which was mentioned in another thread so I tried one of those too.

**WORKOUT** TBD

M4 - TBD
M5 - TBD

am slacking - Had a morning from hell.

Last night I did MEAL FIVE after the gym, a quick 2 oz turkey with a few frozen grapes. Then after the softball game (sisters team won championships) and during the big brother finale I ate 1.5 vegan 'sausages' with peppers and onions and of course some farm market bread for MEAL SIX .... yummy.

Today
M1 - lite rye bread toasted with lite cream cheese, whey shake
M2 - 1/3 cup cottage cheese with fresh pineapple
M3 - salad with grilled veggies and grilled chix breast
M4 - 100 calorie bag of kettle corn
M5 - ground sirloin burger with homemade salsa, grilled veggies - zucchini, tomato, eggplant, etc
M6 - TBD

 

[sbt2082]

HOwdy! Sorry to hear bout your morning but hope your day gets better!!

[WoNderWoMan25]

T - Twin Lab tastes great, even made w/just water. I like their vanilla and chocolate. strawberry isn't the greatest. two scoops = 50 grams. And when it comes to sodium, I don't add salt into much of anything else I cook, so I'd be okay with one frozen dinner - three would kill me - I am thinking of holding 5-10 pounds of water weight!!

CK - searching recipes online for tomatoes, I'll letcha know if I find anything good. Brushetta is easy enough, and I love it with tons of garlic!

sbt2082- Thanks! I woke up with no electricity!!! It came back on, I arrived to work 30 minutes late but it was another day from hell. It's going downhill from here too... I know it. I can't wait for the office to just CLOSE!!!

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

Yep, worked until almost 8 PM last night - fun fun. I was exhausted and mentally just not right for the gym so I went home, cooked and cleaned and watched the end of rockstar supernova. The didn't pick my man Toby.

I must have felt guilty about skipping out yesterday because at 5:30 this AM I couldn't sleep so I got out of bed, popped a cardio breeze and went for 45 minutes on the treadmill and lots of stretching. Will go back tonight for legs.

MEAL 1 -- two eggs over easy, two slices bacon
MEAL 2 -- vitamuffin, and I am craving a diet coke!!
MEAL 3 -- can tuna with diced tomato, onion, celery, green pepper, cukes, 1 tsp vegannaise, 1 tsp mustard
MEAL 4 -- orange

**WORKOUT** **LEGS**

MEAL 5 -- chicken breast, broccoli, 0.5 cup brown rice
MEAL 6 -- protein shake

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

Yeah, have I mentioned lately that work sucks? My boss saw me typing in a Word doc yesterday and seriously asked if it for him - if I was resigning. I'm here to late that it's messing with my workouts and with my eating. Yesterday for example: I had breakfast (eggs) then lunch (tuna w/veggies and pretzels from the vending machine) and then missed everything else I had planned on. I had some coffee w/muscle milk before the gym, trained with my old trainer (legs, it rocked, finally!!) and went home to eat four hard boiled egg whites and the ice cream my sister brought me. Sooooo... so much for eating right. I am down eight pounds already. It's weird for me that I feel that I'll end up skinny soon!! Glad my legs are leaning out some, but skinny in a flat/depleted way is baaaaad news.

Anything else I can complain about? Right... oh yeah. The weather. Downpouring for the second day in a row. I guess it IS friday.....

 

[sbt2082]

Ha ha... your boss sounds just like my old boss... I was doing some work in word and he said the same thing, then I was in a "good" mood the following day or so and he was like thats it I know whats coming, your gonna quit Smart cookie he was lol, because I sure did a week later though since I was moving....

Keep your head up girl, at least you still had a kick @$$ workout right! And thats all that matters anyways, well that and the fact that its FRIDAY

And you got the girls to keep you company now!!!! Go try on some cute clothes or shop no comfort food !!

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

And you got the girls to keep you company now!!!! Go try on some cute clothes or shop no comfort food !!

Would it be horrible to start off my week the same way I ended it... saying that I am I very unhappy at work? Its consuming me - I'm not sleeping and I feel ugly - I know there's the start of bags under my eyes, my face is breaking out from the stress, I am way overdue for a haircut and I'm not eating right. Then there are the days I am too tired or mentally not ready to get to the gym. To top it all off, I feel GUILTY about all of my crying and complaining about it. <sigh>

So far today I got up & walked two miles. Breakfast was a 60 calorie light and fit yogurt with 1/2 cup fiber one mixed in. Lunch was a can of tuna with leftover tomato and cucumber salad. I have an apple with me and I'm hoping to get out of here at decent time today..... I have lost 8 lbs since Aug 24th. I am hoping to get clearance from the doctor this Friday (light at the end of the tunnel?).

Can I tell you that this ^^ is word for word how I feel often, and DAILY for probably 2-3 months straight, before that it was recurring for the past 4 years working here (5 years in Oct).

I will tell you first hand, it will not get any better if you do not try to fix it. Adjust your mental focus to get in get out get work done, nothing more nothing less until you get to leave or find another job. You can see the unhappiness in your face even though YOU can't see it, others can. Stay positive, I try to do this everyday and phuck if it ain't the hardest thing, and I don't always succeed b/c some jerk tries to ruin my day.

I have no clue how I'm going to last another ~ 3 years here, my sanity is already questionable, but I need to do it. I have no other option at this time.

SO hang in there, BREAK the pattern of the negatives, and is you wanna sleep all day & do nothing for a few days & cry? FINE do it, get it out of your system, then turn to the next chapter ...

I almost cried when I read this.

I keep repeating: get in get out get work done, nothing more nothing less. Worse case, I am here until the end of 2006. Three months vs. three years ... I was thinking three months was going to be a long time, but I guess I don't realize how good I have it. I feel for you ((HUGS)).

I have been holding out on a secret - I am flying to TX to interview, I just don't want to jinx it. But that is my light at the end of the tunnel.

I decided to break the pattern of the negatives last night. I felt a little empowered after re-reading your post so I left the office at 6 PM, even while the underlings where still hard at work. I ditched the gym, went home & had company over. Cooked a great meal and even though I am not a big drinker- washed it down with two glasses of wine. I slept like a baby and feel 'ok' today... not great, but a step in the right direction. I packed my food and my gym clothes this morning and I'm meeting my mom after the gym to go bra shopping. Mom & shopping =

Hey WW Love the costume link you sent out - hadn't planned on dressing up for halloween, but you had me perusing the site for quite a while and getting ideas in my head. The sneaky part of me wondered if I could get a costume that would somehow work for the "sportswear" round of some of the Ms.Fitness/Fame/Fitness Model type competitions - two birds, one stone

I also had a question about the Ezekiel wraps. I keep mine in the freezer and I cannot seem to defrost the wraps individually to be soft. I have tried to stick 'em in the microwave for 20-30 secs (what I do with the bread slices) but they come out crispy. Should I defrost them the night before? Or should I pan heat them? Any ideas?

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

09 AM - M1 - wheat/gluten free english muffin with 60 calorie lite & fit yogurt, coffee with splenda and vanilla muscle milk

12 PM - M2 - office is providing lunch.... garden salad, chix breast (they ordered plain and not parm for me!) with small stuffed shell
04 PM - M3 - 2 hard boiled egg whites w/sliced veggies (celery, cukes, peppers)
07 PM - M4 - 5 oz chix breast, broccoli, garden salad
10 PM - M5 - tbsp ANBP or chocolate protein pudding.... or both!

GLUTES AND QUADS *VERY* SORE FROM LAST NIGHT... Even though I finished the workout with 20 minutes of walking on the treadmill and lots of stretching.

Roony I used to defrost mine in the toaster oven. You can control the settings so it doesn't have to come out like toast but at least they don't come out soppy or crispy either.

WW I guess that costume sight must be pretty sleezy.. cuz I can't view it at work it says it's distatasteful, lmao

Hi Roony!!
Good thought on the costume... My other option is to use this website for ideas, buy the fabric, have a friend take my measurements and make me something custom. That will be phenomenal! I also thought of buying some kind of halter/one-piece jumpsuit thingy from Fredricks of Hollywood. That would be hot if I can make myself into a playboy bunny or a sex kitten or something!

Regarding the wraps- I know they come frozen but I don't keep them frozen. Same with the bread.... I keep them in my fridge so they are softer. Are you not supposed to do this? Whooops... Or I go from the freezer to toaster oven. But I take the wraps from the fridge and I nuke 'em in the microwave like you suggested for 15-20 seconds. I haven't tried pan heating them but that's not a bad idea... but I still think defrosting the night before would be best.

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

Roony I used to defrost mine in the toaster oven. You can control the settings so it doesn't have to come out like toast but at least they don't come out soppy or crispy either.

WW I guess that costume sight must be pretty sleezy.. cuz I can't view it at work it says it's distatasteful, lmao

Hm. Am I the only one who keeps the Ezekiel stuff in the fridge (even the cereal) and not the freezer? It doesn't say to keep frozen, does it? I just though refrigerated.

Regarding my site.... LMAO!!! I found it at work, but I couldn't get to the playboy site. I tried and got a big restricted PORN message...... hahahahhahahahahhaha.

 

[Roonytunes]

I get through this stuff VERY slowly which is why I go the freezer route. It's worked well enough with the bread, but it looks like I have to take a different approach with the wraps. As for the cereal, it's in my cabinet. That's how it's sold so I don't think it needs refrigeration.

I have a 25 cubic feet side by side refrigerator, live by myself/cook for one and don't eat more than 1500 cals a day, but the dang thing is always so FULL! Go figure

I *love* the wraps. I put everything in them, from scrambled eggs to tuna to grilled veggies to smearing peanut butter on 'em. Try them from the fridge. I think that as long as they are at least refrigerated, they should be good for a couple of weeks? I'm big on smells, so I would say smell 'em!! Check them out and see if they still look good enough to eat after a week or two?

I am the same with the fridge too, by the way!! It's my cabinets that always seem bare. I have plenty of fresh veggies, but no 'munchies' in the cabinets.

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

Took last night off from the gym. Hair cut (trim) then I met with tattoo artist who had dropped out of the whole scene for a few years.

I hope this pic gives you an idea of what I have now... It is pretty delicate with some of the lines being single passes (meaning I had to sit really still so the artist didn't miss what I wanted up ... want to continue with a tattoo similar to this one on my lower back ...
tatto link.... http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m158/wonderwoman26_2006/tattoo.jpg

There are two conditions though - One is can't be visible at work or on my wedding day/in my wedding dress and Two - It can't be like anything anyone else has (this one is custom).

So... I am thinking of either going up my sides/rib cage from my waist to under my breast (on one has this!!) ... or going down each leg/outer thigh from my lower back/butt. Thoughts and feedback please!!

 

[ck2006]

That is COOL!

My hubby and I are getting a tattoo together

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

ck - very nice! are you a tattoo virgin thus far? i like the idea w/the hubby.... matching ones? what of?

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

7 AM -- pumpkin spice latte
9 AM -- Ezekiel English muffin with two scrambled eggs, sugar free ketchup
1 PM -- spent the whole AM with the boss! tuna in an Ezekiel wrap, with tomatoes, peppers, celery, and onions mixed in...

4 PM -- spent the whole afternoon with this boss! two hard boiled egg whites, carrots and celery sticks

6 PM -- phone interview/booking flight to Dallas -- fingers crossed!

7 PM -- GYM, upper body circuit and cardio, MAYBE....
9:30 PM -- I have chix breast defrosting... it's gonna be a late one though.....

 

[ck2006]

ck - very nice! are you a tattoo virgin thus far? i like the idea w/the hubby.... matching ones? what of?

Yup, tattoo virgin. My hubby got me a gift certificate when I was prego, so of course I couldn't get one, well by the time I went the place had shut down. So I guess it was good I waited.

He is going to get a chinese symbol on his arm and I am going to get one on my back with decoration around it, I just have to decide if I want it on the upper middle or lower middle. But then I also want to get scooby doo on my left ankle and my little pony on my right and a dolphin and dragon to represent each of my kids.

Good luck with everything in dallas, when is the interview?

2 Funny!

I kept my bread frozen if I was working on one loaf, and then threw it in the fridge when I was working on. I don't buy the stuff any more though because it causes major digestive and stomach bloat with me. Took me awhile to figure that one out.

[WoNderWoMan25]

Roony, I'm not sold on the peaches yet.... but I might try it. I like peaches but not anything like peach pie or cobbler... Pineapple will probably be the next one, I have a fresh one that I bought a few days ago.

SBT, I LOVE the idea of baking it like cobbler...

strange, don't people usually eat ezekial products when they have allergies to wheat/gluten? you would think it is the opposite almost?

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

eDiets Daily Inspiration, LOL....

Health and Diet:
Ban the buffet. Buffets can make you feel like you just have to have a little bit of the quiche, the roast beef, the pasta salad, the chicken, the crab legs, the cherries jubilee, the cornbread, the chocolate mousse, etc. Aside from the inevitable stomachache, "tasting" each is also overeating. Limit yourself to three items or get out of line.

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

Dallas called late Friday!! We are in business!!!

Saturday, was bummed to find out the webcast of the Olympia was really crappy quality.

Yesterday, worked out in a potential new gym. Legs - squats, lunges, leg extensions, great hamstring machine that really isolated. Also liked their plate loaded sitting calf machine, as my current gym does not have a 'normal' one... Had the most amazing calzone with cheeses, portabella mushrooms, garlic, sun dried tomatos, basil.....

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

M1 ~ .5 cup cheerios, .5 cup fiber one, .5 cup skim
M2 ~ coffee w/splenda & vanilla muscle milk, 4 hard boiled egg whites, xsmall apple

**CURRENT WATER TALLY** One 1-Liter bottle

M3 ~ 4 oz chicken breast, 1 cup mixed veggies, 10 rice crackers (@ 60 calories), hot green tea

Whats the plan for the workout? And, did u decide on a costume yet?

Legs tonight - I'm going to do lots of squats and lunges but staying another high rep day (I won't admit it is a 'light weight' day). And abs .... haven't done abs since Saturday.

No costume yet - There is a beauty supply store locally that rents costumes ... You didn't give me your favorites or any suggestions yet anyway!!

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

My 'coffee cake' recipe ... I hope I make Jens proud!!

gluten/wheat free baking mix
two eggs
1/2 cup no sugar added apple sauce (in place of oil or butter)
1/2 cup skim milk
some apple pie spice, cinnamon, splenda baking mix, vanilla extract

Two Zone Perfect Apple Cinnamon protein bars - One mixed into batter, one sprinkled on top during last 15 minutes of baking as my 'crumb' topping.

Baked for around 30 mins ... very moist & great w/coffee!

WED OCT 4 ~~ LOVELY DAY
WORK-ATTENDED A WAKE-WORKOUT-BED

M1 ~ whey shake made with skim
M2 ~ half cup cottage cheese with small diced apple, cinnamon & splenda
M3 ~ 4 oz turkey w/lettuce and tomato in ezekiel wrap. this tasted really dry!!
M4 ~ 2 oz chicken breast with rice crackers, 12 chocolate covered almonds
M5 ~ homemade sausage and peppers w/lite italian dressing on a wheat free roll which after I bought realized it was more like a biscuit that I would eat as part of an egg sandwich, but not horrible. I brought leftovers for work today.

WORKOUT
I went really late so there was no one there to spot me. The trainers were all in a staff meeting and there were literally two other people in the gym working out. I didn't know either of them so I did squats on the smith machine.... calves.... abs.... finished with 15 mins on the elliptical (it's been awhile and my hr was up there in the 160s!) and 30 minutes on the treadmill (intervals).

Squats-
Warmup with Bar + 20 lbs x 16
Bar + 50 lbs x 16
Bar + 70 lbs x 14
Bar + 70 lbs x 14
Bar + 90 lbs x 12
Bar + 90 lbs x 13

I alternated the squats with lots of stretching and calves on plate loaded machine and on the stairs (using body weight).

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

CK - This is something I found that I like. I love orchids - I am the orchid lady w/quite a few in my house now.... I'd like to just do one big @$$ orchid starting on my hip/butt and coming up to finish under my breast. Probably two flowers along the way...

Roonytunes/Bunny - It's Halloween - It's a costume - AND IT'S ABOUT BEING SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT!!! That's part of why I want the tattoo. I am fairly conservative at work, I present myself well and will even throw the word classy out there ... but bang ... but me in a bikini or in sweats and a sports bra ... would probably never expect me to have such a large tattoo. It's hot ... so go with the dang ref with the '69' girl!! Def. not going the school girl route ... overdone and just not my style. A sexy bunny though.... a playboy bunny .... hmmmmm.....

T - I was afraid to open that other link from your log at work ... saw it when I got home late last night though. I would love to support my team <go longhorns!!> but a cheerleader may be just as overdone as the school girl. Maybe I can get someone to be 'my' football player and then I can go with the referee costume like Roony!!

Hmmm SBT and I may have to try this one, Sounds yummy!!!!
So what's the costume? I was thinking about going as a weight lifter, throw my gym clothes on.. HA HA HA Totally kidding.... I would have said figure competitor but I don't think the suit will fit me right now!!

 

[BiggT]

WW.....How about a Hooters Girl for Halloween???? I imagine you can get Hooters shirts online.

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

heeeeey... now there's a thought!! Hooters girl; how appropriate considering my recent 'enhancements' ....

I guess I need to decide on something soon. it's been fun browsing but I know Halloween will be here before I know it. A weight lifter is a cute idea too. I am going to wear jeans to work and say I'm 'on vacation' for 'Halloween' ....

as a side note to all of this, I did buy a pair of gray shorts the last time I ate at hooters... they have the logo on the front and 'tight end' written across the butt, lol.

I think this is a PERFECT costume idea for you. A few years ago, I remember a bunch of gals dressed up as Hooters girls as a group and they were FAR BY the most popular all night. They actually tied up their t-shirts at the back in a knot to show off their abs, and I gotta say they looked HAWT. Great opportunity to show off your tight bod all the way around

I almost want to say ... don't get me started on this subject, but we are definitely on the same page here, CK. I was the oldest of three raised by a single mother, so from a young age I had a very good understanding of what it was like to be in that situation. It's tough, but there are people out there who do it - and do it well, and don't complain, don't want to be labeled, etc etc.

I love sluty spice too !!! but this is my first halloween with boobs. I love the idea of a hooters girl, just have to find the right 'costume' or 'uniform' ... Let me know if you stumble across any websites or anything!

Have a great weekend ....

- Best wishes for your mother and a speedy recovery
- and holy cardio!

CARDIO: Thanks for noticing ... I am trying to lean out more ... It will come w/diet and cardio. I pushed it too hard yesterday w/the shoulder workout and my right breast is noticeably swollen today; kinda funny!!! But kinda serious at the same time. I will stick with cardio & legs for the rest of the week to give it a rest I think?

TATTOOS: Six people got tattooed - It was an all day thing (11AM-8PM) with good company, good food... I go to start mine THIS sunday.

MOM: Thanks for mentioning her. She is doing great! She is putting weight on it today and can drive after she gets her stitches checked out on Thursday. She went to Home Depot today to purchase stain so she can stain the deck next week while she is out of work ... unbelievable, right?

Hi girl!

My mom had knee surgery ... Her second (and last before they do a replacement). She is doing so well and boredom seems to be causing her more pain the her knee does.

Taking advil and used the good ol' frozen peas to ice my boob last night!! I will again tonight .... And call the doc if it still doesn't look or feel right in a few days. Probably need someone to massage it or something... lol.

Cardio .... No way. You can do your own!!! It's rough, but I'm not bored to tears w/it yet. I'm trying to keep it interesting and I have good music on my iPod. And it's going to pay off, I know it.

Good morning, y'all!!

Did you catch the Ortiz-Shamrock fight last night??? He plugged my company after the win.... "American Home Mortgage" .... Wasn't expecting that, but loved the shout-out ...... Thank you very much! It was like he was talking to ME, lol...... Jenna should be worried (did they show her enough or what?) cause she's got competition now .... I LOVE TITO

Anyway, totally forced my salad and boca burgers on those who came over to watch the fight last night.... I had that, tortillas and salsa, Mic Light and Diet Soda. Everyone was complaining at my lack of 'good' snacks.

Leg workout rocked, but I don't have my bag/book @ work w/me today to post up the details.....
