Necia Back In Effect Log

[necia]

I've had great success Bunny. Just been so busy. Went to the gym a coupla times this week, had great W/O each time. I'm starting my meals closer to when I actually wake up, especially during the work week, and I'm eating more frequently. Now if I can just tighten up my cardio schedule, I might be on to something. Lol.

Thanks so much for asking. Smooches. When you get a minute pm your addy.

Good, what the hell do you think this is, squating with no weight, you're lucky it was a trainer and not me... lol

On a side note, I'm not sure my friend is going to want to train legs with me ever again. I had her almost in tears when we left the gym, and she told me she hated me, lol I told her yay you hate me now, but once you have some sexy ass legs you'll be loving me. lol

Bunny,

Ya know I may not comment in your journal, but I do read it often, and I've always wondered when do you have time to work? Then I figured, well maybe she doesn't have the traditional 9-5? I was seriously contemplating asking you but then I'd figured that was just way too nosey.

Lol

Necia

Ha! I often wonder that too...
No worries girl Documenting my log & journal is really like a 2nd job for me, while diet & training being a 3rd, … neither of which I am earning a monetary salary for (...at least not yet)

Technically, if there was one, my ‘busy’ season at my ‘real’ job is generally from Oct – Dec/Jan so when I can, and because I enjoy it, I try to check up on everyone, share all of my experiences and keep up with my log as much as possible.

I'm trying to find a happy medium at my workplace as well, which has proven very difficult these past few months. blah blah blah...

Hi Necia-

I was reading over your log , and had a question. You have been the only one that I have noticed that wears and records their heart monitor read outs.

I too record my calories burned as shown by my HM , but I only wear it during my workouts. I have noticed that you seem to be wearing yours for quite a bit of time. Do you wear it all day long , and is there any secret to that you can let me in on ?

I tend to wear it all day long or for very extended periods. Sometimes I wear it, and forget to turn it on, like yesterday. My hrm has become a part of me. On the days I wear it all day long, if I don't reach 500 calories burned by say 5'oclock, I just usually try to get moving, even if it's just a brisk walk. No secrets to share with you, with me it's a "mind" thing, if ya know what I mean.

Hi Everyone,

I miss you guys!!!!!!!!!!! I miss my life from before. Well although I know it will never be the same, I still want some normalcy to return. So, with that said, how on Earth do I get back in the swing of things. I haven't been to the gym in so long, I don't know where to start. Any suggestions on getting back from a layover?

Necia

Hi Necia!

Just take one day at a time! Put the effort to get back for today even if it seems difficult. At the end of the day maybe you just see only 40-50% of what you did before. But the following day strive to pass the 40-50% from the previous day!
Then at the end of the week reward yourself with a good manicure or something you like.
Sometimes getting back on track is like when we have to wake up in the morning. We may feel like staying an extra 5 - 10 minutes, which if we do not control end up into an extra 1 hour! so try putting the same energy you use to wake up when you know you'll be late into starting to get back on track.

Necia,

I havent checked in with you in a while. Dumb of me. How is your family?

 

[necia]

Necia,

I havent checked in with you in a while. Dumb of me. How is your family?

We're hanging in there. Being strong, and trying to stay a family. Lol. I've been slowly adding the gym back into my schedule to get my cardio on. I'll be much happier when I get with it though like before. I so lack motivation.

Thanks for asking.

You are doing the right thing by slowly adding cardio back in right now if ou are really stressed. Stress alone is so hard on the body. It will all pan out sweetie. Take care!

I miss Necia ... Anyone heard from her??

 

[Roonytunes]

I miss Necia ... Anyone heard from her??

I was just thinking about her too. Necia, where are you, girl???

 

[scorpiogirl]

I know she's lurking out there - she posted on Jen's log the other day! She's in hiding!!!

 

[necia]

Hi All,

I decided to check in here on the whim. I've been so down and out lately. I'm paying for 2 gym memberships, and haven't been in the gym in sooooooooooooooooooo long. I don't even know where to begin. I think I feel the way a drug addict feels after a relapse. I wanna get back onboard, and despite all the information, not to mention membership cards, I don't know how.

I'm going to hang around here for awhile, and hopefully I can gain some inspiration.


Thanks for remembering me.

NECIA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for checking in!

I would think you can re-read your log and see how great you were doing, how good you were feeling, with the results you were SEEING!

I TOTALLY understand the "relapse/drug addict" analogy ... and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

You help inspire so many others, and are a great part of this board. We miss you around here... you'll find your way darlin!

 

[scorpiogirl]

Ohhhh, I hate it when that happens! Get in a slump and no matter how hard you try....you just can't seem to get out. Try to stay positive - keep telling yourself positive thoughts OUT LOUD! It really does help get you back on track.

Hope your feeling better soon, N!

 

[Roonytunes]

We miss you, sweetie! I know it's hard, but I hope you'll be inspired soon. Where are we supposed to go for our "funny gym story du jour" fix otherwise?

GOTTA LOVE THOSE!!! hahah I keep thinking about the guy with the mouthpiece and goggles ... who does that??


http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/usernote.php?u=85841]I left you a user note a while back [/URL]

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/usernote.php?u=85841

 

[necia]

Thanks Ladies. I might as well mention, that I seen my stalker around my new apt. I wanted to pass out and die. How dare he live near me? He looked at me, and before he could open his mouth to speak, I stared right through him! Seeing him didn't make me want to hurry back to the gym either. My son was like mommy, what's wrong?

Necia

 

[scorpiogirl]

I must have come here after that situation was discussed. Do you have any kind of protection order against him?...and stalker laws where you live?

 

[necia]

Hey SG,

I don't believe he's actually stalking me. He just so happens to live near my new apt. Awhile ago, I posted about guy from my gym who prefers for me to spot him, instead of all the other men that be in there. He goes out of his way to attempt to show off on my behalf. I believe it was Sassy, who came up with that he must like me.

Necia

 

[scorpiogirl]

Kind of the "scarey admirer" type?!?!

 

[*Bunny*]

^^ anyone know how Necia is doing??

 

[*Bunny*]

See you girlfriend. What's up ?
