Soldiering On

your also welcome to my nibs Alexus :slight_smile:

paid a decent price for the amount I got( less than $9 for 16oz!!)

ARGH…kid germs are attacking again…this time settling in my throat and lungs. I still have to go to the gym later to train peeps…its the last night for one of the girls(the former PL’er) it was super fun working with her…maybe she’ll sign on for some more? who knows…

I’m getting excited for Julia’s party(next saturday!!)…although I only have one solid person coming so far…I don’t like waiting til the last minute. This happened when we tried to plan a party for Coby at chuck e cheese one year…people waited til the day before and OF the party to call and say if they were coming or not.
And I’ll be happy when I don’t hear ‘I WANT THAT for my birthday!!!’ That’s all I’ve heard for the last 4 months :roll:

Speaking of, Kmart actually has some cute stuff!

And a good variety of gardening stuff. They even have already potted vegetables!

guess what i just did? I wrote the lady back i interviewed with way back in DEC. I made up a job description and asked to be considered for any opportunities in the future. For those that don’t know, its a Physical Therapist lady that was opening a medically oriented gym. She didn’t know exactly what she was looking for but was interested in ‘using me,’ some how. But the whole interview was so awkward and I never heard back.

well
im hungry

^^ good for you for being proactive!

ya, we’ll see… I k like where I am now, taking care of kids/home, trying to get more active in the gym, etc…and in the fall I was planning on going back to school.

But a “real,” job would be good for experience for other future jobs.

I totally got stood up by the mom/daughter flaky duo…no email, no phone call, nodda…

There grown ass women. I make the effort to get outta the house with my kids and get there EARLY. grrr…I wish I could fire them, but then I’d probably have to give there money back.

At least my 5 o’clock showed…it was our last night :sad:

And not sure if you all are following, but there getting ready to shut down the government, hence cutting off military pay!!!

Ya know, people can be so rude! Can’t believe that those women just stood you up like that. Happens at the office sometimes and I get pretty pissed off. Could’ve seen someone else if you knew they weren’t gonna show. Sucks.

Good luck with everything. I don’t get how they can cut off military pay. That is a sin. Just seems wrong.

If you were my trainer, I would show up every day!

awww, thanks Grny!! <3

Good day to end dieting…got a head cold. And some chest congestion to boot…barnacles!
I’m such a big baby when I have a cold. But it’s not like life just stops around me, gotta keep going despite how I feel.

And I did something reeeeally retarded. I ordered a ‘band,’ from a site N8tive linked to in her log, and managed to order a box of 1,000 rubber bands!!! ahahahaha!! I will say though, they have SUPER SPEEDY service!

I ordered it on Tuesday and got it here yesterday morning.

Any help n8tive? What did I do wrong? lol

Ok, moving on…
I’m taking a break from ‘dieting’ indefinitely. I feel like I’ve gotten as far as I can with it for now.

I want to focus on still eating clean(it will probably still look like diet food to most, haha) , lifting moAr and gasp adding cardio.

I’ve had this conversation before.

I get impatient. I end up not doing the cardio and the eating gets lazy. And BOOM…I gain 5lbs back and I start over…I need to learn how to STOP THAT.

I need to be just as consistent with ‘normal,’ eating/training, as I am with dieting.

If you want help with eating normal, just keep on posting your food here. I’ll be happy to kick your ass if I see a bunch of crap going down your hatch. Losing the same poundage and then gaining it back in an endless cycle is so terrible for your health.

And, cardio in the form of C25K perhaps? I will probably start up tomorrow.

Fear the Kimba!

It just pisses me off…I get to this level, and then get burnt out so close to my goal.

So this time I’m taking a break(the right way!) and will go from there. Perhaps, if I focus on building muscle/getting stronger, body comp will take care of itself, without me having to ‘diet?’ hmm, why didn’t I think of that before? rolls eyes

yes, I will be logging my food here. it will help!

And yes! c25k, here I come…probably 1-2x week…also want to throw a hill sprint session in for good measure.

we’re only getting half of our pay on the 15th.

minus loans that automatically come out, heh…it’ll be an adventure getting through to the next two weeks. And hopefully we’ll get paid by then!

Meanwhile Congress is getting there full 6 figure pay checks and Mr. Obama is going on vacation this weekend…gee, how nice.

I guess now would be a good time to have one of those job things.

This is all the talk where I am, MiM. Crazy. You have my sympathy! Good luck, hunni. So many military families to think about…

I stand corrected:

But beyond that, who knows…

I leave your log alone for one day and I have 3 pages to catch up with :slight_smile:

those millies were nice and strong!

And I’m with kimba: if you focus on your strength and are honest with the foods only good can come of it. I throw in a little cardio once in a while but mostly before bikini time.

Yeah Bush, ya know, the president who declared war, was on vacay plenty of times. What’s with them?

EDIT: Also, they canceled that “vacation” aka taking his kids to the National Park. Going to stay and try to sort things out.

It’s kind of hard to go to a national park if it’s closed due to a gov’t shutdown. Tho he is POTUS…

Did they close down Indianapolis as well? It wasn’t exactly for pleasure, but he still canceled the trip to stay in DC.
And if it’s his planned vacation, can’t he still take the weekend off?

rofl about the bands! that is the kinda thing i’d do…

sorry to hear you haven’t been well.
