Just dropping in to see what's up...you are looking good girl!

This may be a stupid question, but I am REALLY curious, what is red fat mozz cheese? I see you eat some almost everyday. I need to find out what I am missing out on!!

Yay, I have a visitor.

Red fat mozz cheese is just mozzarella cheese made with part skim milk (I'm just too lazy to type out the whole name). I will usually throw 1/4 cup on my whole wheat tortilla pizzas that I make just to top it off and make it seem like a real pizza. Occassionally I'll use it on ground turkey or buffalo just to jazz it up a little. Probably not the best thing in the world to eat, but it gives me a little treat now and then.

6 am: HIIT Cardio on treadmill
30 sec sprint @ 8 MPH, 1 min recovery jog @ 5 MPH x 8 cycles
5 min warm-up and cooldown
17 oz water

Wasn't sure I was going to make it through this one. My lungs always feel like they're going to explode. Monitored my heart rate a little better this morning and when I'm done with my 12-min interval training I'm up to 210 bpm. During my cooldown it drops between 10-20 bpm, until it winds up at 150 by the time I'm finished. Don't know why my heart rate shoots up so high, but I guess I just have to live with it.

Had the most wonderful conversation with several friends at the gym today. Hadn't seen them in about 2 weeks and they said the changes that I've made to my body have just been "incredible" (to use their words). I sure am going to miss everyone I work out with. Every now and then you just stumble onto a group of uplifting and positive people, and for me they are it.

Awww! As cheesy as it sounds, I think people definitely come into your life for a reason.

Ugh, I am so freaking po'd at myself. I've been sitting here waiting for my orders to come through to put the house on the market, schedule movers etc. I sent the paperwork in almost 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything. Called this morning - then realized I had sent it to the wrong person, in the wrong building, in the completely wrong state!!!

So, meanwhile my house is still sitting here 2 weeks past the date it could have been on the market because I'm a MORON! Aaarrrggghhh!!! Just when you think you're done making incredibly stupid mistakes, an even bigger one comes up and bites you on the butt!

 

[Roonytunes]

Aaarrrggghhh!!! Just when you think you're done making incredibly stupid mistakes, an even bigger one comes up and bites you on the butt!

Ack! HATE when that happens...don't be too hard on yourself. We all make errors especially under stress. At least you had the good sense to follow up instead of waiting for longer so you can rectify the problem NOW immediately. Good luck, sweetie

 

[buffalogal]

Thanks hun. I think it's my turn to enjoy a good nap and take my mind off of it for awhile.

First, CONGRATULATIONS on your 5 pullups!!! Ask my wife (she's doing the 5x5 program with them!) - we seriously respect women that can do multiple pullups, and you've got FIVE! Woohoo!!!!

Second, heck YES you should make it a regular part of your routine! You WILL see results! Congrats again.

I've made a mental note that ever since I started the HIIT cardio in the morning the last several weeks, the weight/fat is falling off. Damn it! I was hoping I could get away with no cardio, but alas, it looks like I'm doomed to doing cardio as much as possible to keep it up. I'm going to try as hard as I can to keep doing it, even though I rotate to midnight shifts starting tonight. Strength and endurance will be waaay down but I don't have much choice.

On a bright note: tried my two-piece bikini on yesterday. The bottom half is loose - yea! Still not anything I'd wear in public yet, but it's getting there. The bad news: The top half is loose too, and my cup used to runneth over - make it stop!!

Great job on x-mas day! You did MUCH better than I!!!

Thanks hun. It helps when you don't have any family anywhere close by to visit. Not sure if that's good or bad - it was a lot lonelier than I thought it would be.

Between that, working midnight-8 each night, a pinched nerve (I think) in my neck and having absolutely no appetite, I feel like crap today. All I want to do is bury my head in a pizza box or plate of french fries for comfort food. But, I'm fighting off that urge - although I will indulge in sf pudding here in a little bit. Then, off to bed before I snap.

I'm just mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted right now...

**Will be taking cheat meal tonight instead of Friday. Friends of mine from the gym want to go out for Mexican and tonight was the only option. These last 3 weeks may be hard to take just one cheat meal per week. But, I'll never see most of these people again so I'll just take it as it comes and enjoy it til it's over.

BG, sometimes life beckons and you need to take a break from the regime. Sounds like you have a good reason this time around. As long as you get right back on the wagon when you can, all should be fine. I know personally that the guilt can be very consuming, but I can also tell you that in the BIG picture, it really doesn't turn out to be a huge deal.

I know personally that the guilt can be very consuming, but I can also tell you that in the BIG picture, it really doesn't turn out to be a huge deal.

I know you're absolutely right RT and I actually thought of all the fun you have with your friends and then get right back on track. So, I am determined to spend these last 3 weeks enjoying myself with people I may never see again.

And to be honest, I think this was the most enjoyable evening I have spent with friends in a loooong time. It struck me on the drive home how much I have in common with them, and how hard these last 3 weeks are going to be. So, we have already planned another dinner for next week. In fact, we have so much in common that we've planned a place where we can have healthy options and we're all determined to stick with them.

I just hope that I can meet people like this when I get to New York who are so supportive of me and my goals. They even bought me going away gifts. It is going to be sooo hard to leave come January 23rd, even though I know in the long run it is best for me.

Friends of mine wanted to go out to the Italian place for lunch. I was good and just had grilled chix and spinach, even though I was salivating over that pasta and bread. But, I think I felt better about holding out and resisting, then I would have if I actually gave in and ate it.

Way to go on the comp decision - that's awesome! Good luck BG.

(And you're looking good too... )

 

[buffalogal]

Thanks mermaid, although I felt like a total failure today. I've decided that today can go down as a cheat day, rather than just a meal. Had a party at work, and to avoid being anti-social and a complete snot I had a slice of pizza. Well, of course that led my co-workers to giving me a big slice of choco cake smothered in all the icing they could pile on.

After a few stressful confrontations with the move/sale of my house, I downed another piece of pizza. Then, to top it off since I want to hit my favorite ice cream place one last time before I leave, I did on the way home and got a double scoop of fudgie cheesecake and cake batter ice cream in a waffle bowl.

Ugh, while I feel a little better after eating that (okay, alot better) I feel like crap for giving in. But, I guess we all fall off of the wagon at one time or another. The only thing that's saved the day is my sheer determination to NOT throw the chinese buffet in on top of it. That's also on my list of places to eat before I leave, but it's not going to be tonight! Better hit the gym instead.

One nice thing about being newly divorced. Can go to bed around 8 and get up at 4. I've definitely had to force myself to become a morning person. Sometimes I think I should get hazard pay for having to sprint on a treadmill in the dark at 4:30 am. I've had a couple of near misses...

I may have eaten like a pig today, but I have never felt like that at the gym. My strength and energy went through the roof tonight - I could have run a marathon. Is this what it feels like once you start bulking? I guess there's a silver lining to pigging out!

I totally feel your pain... I had some guy just staring at me dumbfounded yesterday when I was doing my weights. Apparentley he didn't get the message that STARING is impolite. Of course the people that do linger most of the year and drop out in the fall and then come back to check out the new wave of fresh meat are back also....

 

[buffalogal]

lol @ "cloggers". I almost ran a few of them over tonight, especially when a machine I wanted opened. Had to snatch it up immediately or it disappeared to some ding-dong that would spend 5 min just trying to figure out how to work it.

Treilin, I know exactly what you mean about the stares. I was in last night and a few people stood there with their mouth open staring at me while I did DB rows with the 40lb DBs. Big freakin' deal... It was only 40 lbs. Course, watching a girl break out into a sweat tonight using the 5lbers was pretty humorous.

My workout was going oh so great while I was doing my abs. Went to take the plates off the military press (because some idiot was too lazy to do it!) and preceded to drop the 45-lb plate on my big toe.

Took a while for me to realize what happened until the pain hit! Somehow I managed to finish my workout and keep that toe moving, but my shoe kept getting smaller and smaller. It is now black and blue and twice the size it should be. So, the rest of my day will be spent with an ice pack and hoping it's not broken. Although the increasing pain does not give me much hope. So much for my consistent cardio routine I've been able to get into. At least now I can sleep in...

 

[Roonytunes]

OUCH, BG!! That totally sucks. I hope the ice pack will help and if you don't feel the pain going down, take some ibuprofen and please do go to see a doctor.

 

[buffalogal]

I iced it and popped 4 advil this afternoon. Unfortunately, the swelling hasn't gone down and the pain still shoots up my foot with every step. I've taped it to the other toe so we'll see what happens. The bruising is actually on top of my foot and I think the plate hit at the intersection of the toe and the foot. If it doesn't feel better by Monday I'll go have it x-rayed. Not much they can do about a toe, but I hope I didn't crack a bone in the foot.

Partly because I was feeling bad and partly because I wanted to go one last time before I left town for good, I hit my favorite chinese place for supper tonight. It'd been 5 days since my last cheat and to squeeze in all the places I want to go, I've added an additional meal.

The good news - I loaded up on water and won-ton soup (even though sodium count is high) and didn't go hog wild. I just had very small, in some cases one, bite of all my favorites. I just placed an order for sesapure as well, to help me through the next 3-6 weeks, just in case...

OH NOOOOOOOO! I have a feelin' you've got at least a fracture. I stubbed my big toe once playing Guesgures! lol Well, the word was "stub" so I acted it out.....and broke something in there. It started turning black & blue and swelling within a half hour after I did it. Don't bother going to the Dr. There's nothing they can do for it. Go get yourself a velcro-strap bootie to wear if you can't get your shoe on. One of those things they put over casts. I had to do that until my pain went away. It took a couple of weeks.

Wishing you fast healing!!!

 

[buffalogal]

Thanks to all of you gals!

SG, I went and bought some tape and wrapped my big toe to the next one. Most of the bruising is on the top of my foot and then over to the side, so I'm wondering if I didn't do something to my foot rather than my toe. All I know is it swelled up within about 5 or 10 minutes, so I know I definitely did something to it.

Either way, it was still swollen this morning, but had gone down a little this afternoon. Once I unwrapped it, it started to hurt again, so I'll just leave it wrapped for a few days. I'm of the same opinion that it's pointless to go to a dr. considering they can't really do anything. I'll just keep walking on the side for a while until it gets better and try not to put in pressure on it.

I'm a tuff ole broad so I can tough it out. Just gives me more of an excuse to concentrate on my upper body for the next week or two.

Had to sit at the dealer for 2 hours to get my car worked on. The whole time I was there, a buffet table full of muffins, jelly-filled danishes (my fav), cookies and granola bars were staring me in the face. I deliberately sat there and looked at it to test my willpower rather than get up and move. Somehow I was able to resist the urge to eat one of those sugar-free cookies. I wish I could do that all the time...

9:30 am: 3 Levorex
8 oz water

Meal 2: 9:45 am

PWO Protein Shake w/ 1 scoop whey, strawberries, pineapple, mango and water

Had to sit at the dealer for 2 hours to get my car worked on. The whole time I was there, a buffet table full of muffins, jelly-filled danishes (my fav), cookies and granola bars were staring me in the face. I deliberately sat there and looked at it to test my willpower rather than get up and move. Somehow I was able to resist the urge to eat one of those sugar-free cookies. I wish I could do that all the time...

Good JOB! I know the urge. I sat and stared at the candy counter last night at the movies for 30 minutes waiting to get into the theater and I didn't get any candy! Although you had it harder because it was free... I would have to pay like $4 for a 1/4 bag of M&M's. So I at least had that deterring me also!

I just did that last weekend and decided against the candy then. Paying $4 for too many sugar-filled cals just doesn't seem worth it at this point. I think I do it more to torture myself than anything, just to see how important this is to me. I guess I've made some progress in the last 14 weeks.

That, plus I'm dying for a french fry and will be eating that this weekend along with a cheeseburger so I have a light at the end of the tunnel. Eating that cookie would have made me feel bad enough to deter those plans, and it wasn't worth it.

Good luck on your comps Treilin. I'll definitely be watching your progress - and can't wait to see the pics!

I'm on the hunt for a good marinade to broil/grill shrimp in tonight. If anyone knows of any, I'm all ears. Grilled chix/tky/bison is starting to get a little old.
