do you like me? and what does the name "mean"?

 

[Roonytunes]

do you like me? and what does the name "mean"?

I don't know abt liking you, but I sure like the food you're eating I'm sitting here waiting for the clock to move so I can get to my next meal.

The name is just a play on Loony Tunes. My nickname is Roony, so my friends call me Roonytunes, because I'm a lil' nutty like that.

Well, the hunger pangs seem to have passed. I waited till 8am to go grocery shopping today because I didn't trust myself to bring in new food into the house yesterday I've decided PB is not safe to keep anymore in the house. I couldn't stop thinking abt it

WOW what a great day and great workout!!! We have comparable lifts! Not that I'm lifting NOW... but before I had my "surgical growth"... I was pushing close to the same as you.

Your breakfast sounds yummy -- jealous!

Thanks for stopping by, Ms T-Cake. It's been nice to read your recent updates! And no, those lifts yesterday aren't my real numbers. I went higher because we were doing negatives and I wasn't doing the positives on my own. But I'm slowly getting there...you are a strong girl!

Stupid question, but I'm no ....do you think I can do a pancake without egg whites added? I've eliminated egg whites because I seem to have a bloat reaction to them although I wonder if occasionally throwing in half a cup here and there will hurt. Thanks for the idea, duckie!

I think you would be a ok without the egg whites actually... Just be sure to add a scoop of protein powder if you do that that way you can get some protein in at breakfast I bet you'd be ok with even just a 1/4 cup and pour them in when you mix the protein powder then mix everything else in afterwards... hope that helps

That's a good suggestion with pp. I found this recipe:

1/2 cup Old Fashioned Oatmeal
1/2 cup of Cottage Cheese
3 Egg Whites
1 TBSP Vanilla Extract
1 TBSP Cinnamon
1.5 TBSP Splenda

3 egg whites is barely anything and I'll get my protein from the cottage cheese, so I should be okay. Alright, you have me convinced as usual, duckie!

Yup thats a good recipe as well THe cottage cheese makes them nice and fluffy, especially if you whip it first and make it smooth... I just eliminated it from my diet because of the high sodium (I hold enough water as it is )

AWESOME news about the gym party hun!!! Glad you had a good time! I see you got to enjoy that yummmmmmmmy late night dessert again

Thanks, SBT! Yes, I did have a good time and I really feel comfortable with my gym folk. It was funny though because tonight was the first time everyone had seen me with my hair down, with makeup and not wearing gym clothes...a few didn't even recognize me. Makes me wonder exactly how bad I must look when I roll out of bed and head to the gym in the mornings

That late night snack is probably a staple for a while. I'm heading to DC tomorrow for another party and I'm actually packing it as my late night snack

I'm baack from DC. The party was on the lamer side - there were a 100 confirmed guests and not even half showed up. I actually got to sit on the VIP table all night with unlimited free vodka bottle service and didn't touch a drop. I instead made a deal with the bartender to put water in a cocktail glass with a lemon wedge to make it look like a real drink. I'm getting more and more confident that I can make this lifestyle change

That's awsome roony You go girl! You have any big party plans for new years?

Thanks, Bunns! Yes, I do have party plans for New Years. I'm going to a Bond themed NYE party in NYC - it's open bar and buffet dinner so that's a designated cheat night for now. I don't celebrate X'mas though so I'll be pretty good till the end of the year. I haven't seen the bond movie yet, but I just got a black/red print Arden B halter dress that I'm planning on wearing. And of course I want to really work hard on my shoulders and back till then so I can look my best. I'll post pics for sure!

Well, as luck would have it, I'm officially getting a few days off program at the end of the year apparently. I checked in today with the Savage program and because my progress has been good, they want to make sure I don't plateau and also give me a breather. I don't really have the inclination to cheat on a weekly basis now, so we decided I'd save up for my friend's visit at the end of the month (from Dec 28th through the end of the year). I'll be allowed to eat/drink anything that does not fall under the complex carb category for 4 days except for right after I weight train...then I still get to eat my PWO simple starch afterward in the 1:2 ratio. For NYE dinner, I get a free-for-all cheat. I was told it'll be my last hurrah for a while But yeah, it'll be nice to eat without monitoring macros and not feel guilty

Thanks, Bunns! Yes, I do have party plans for New Years. I'm going to a Bond themed NYE party in NYC - it's open bar and buffet dinner so that's a designated cheat night for now. I don't celebrate X'mas though so I'll be pretty good till the end of the year. I haven't seen the bond movie yet, but I just got a black/red print Arden B halter dress that I'm planning on wearing. And of course I want to really work hard on my shoulders and back till then so I can look my best. I'll post pics for sure!

Oh yeah, we're going to need pics of ALL the new outfits.....

Oh no, Roons!! I love Laughing Cow cheese wedges. I'm sorry you can no longer have them. Thank stinks!

Well, I just had a surprise cheat meal but it was well worth it. Today was my department holiday lunch. I knew where we were going, had scoured the menu beforehand, called the restaurant to see if they would cook the fish for me dry, figured I was all set and planned the rest of my day’s meals around it. Only when I got there did I realize it was a fancy sit-down holiday luncheon with a three course set menu. Instead of panicking, I decided to just go with the flow and I’m glad I did.

I savored every bite and it turned out to be an exceptional lunch. I had:
-One very good slice of bread dipped in olive oil
-Greens salad with cheese and grape sprinkled in a lemon vinaigrette
-Petite filet mignon on top of a potato puree with a demi glace sauce (this just melted in your mouth!)
-Chocolate liquid cake (perfectly done with a liquid chocolate explosion when you bit into the middle)

Because it was a high-end restaurant, portions were not too large. I had very pleasant conversation with my co-workers at my end of the table and it was a very enjoyable event overall. A big part of me is actually happy that I didn’t know about this beforehand because I’m sure I would have been stressing about it needlessly.

I’m hitting the gym for legs tonight so I’ll just kick ass while there and because it came during the middle of the day, I will now just modify the meals after this as needed. And my Sesapure is at home - will pop a few when I can

Sometimes ya just gotta live….and this was one of those times

Yes, I actually ate chocolate cake and don't feel guilty about it

 

[Roonytunes]

^^^^
The Savage newsletter is actually going to publish my little anecdote above because apparently I GET IT! For me, it's definitely a personal triumph to eat, enjoy and not feel guilt. And more importantly, I'm proud that I didn't take the rest of the day off-program as well and justify it with “I already messed up so it's okay”.

My day went from not-so-good to awesome. This morning, I found out my guy friend who's visiting from Ohio at the end of the year isn't staying for NYE. Instead, he's choosing to go to Boston on Dec 30th and spend it with some other friends there. Well, randomly two of my other best guy friends called this evening and it turned out they didn't have set plans for NYE....and now we're all going to the Bond party together in NYC. I am now able to upgrade my hotel to a studio apartment for that weekend because I will have roomies, and so I will have full access to a kitchenette with a fridge/microwave and just more space in general. More importantly, I will be bringing in New Year's with friends who are dear to me and that means the world

I was today's feature in the Cathy Savage daily newsletter. They have a large photo of me and the blurb that I posted here yesterday titled "Getting IT!". Along with that, they added:

"Thanks <Roony> for sending us this. You are doing the work and as you say, ONCE IN A WHILE, its more than ok! Why do I think back to Tom Cruise's father in the movie "Risky Business" , when he says, "Sometimes you have to say what the &^%".". This is the whole point. Being in shape and being healthy affords you the right to splurge every now and then without it causing a break in your progress! Life cant be so regimented. If it is, you are setting yourself up for failure. So, reward yourself if you are doing the work and then get right back on your qwest like <Roony> has! Have a great Saturday everyone!"

And yes, Bunns, it is an awesome transition! And to duckie & Jenns...couldn't have come this far without all of y'all

Keep up the AWESOME work, you rock!

 

[T-Cake]

Hi Roons!

WOW you are such an inspiration to me! That was really smart to test out the complex carb day and see how you're feeling on a low-key day -- I know the time is coming soon (as in January or February, easily) that I'll be eating a competition diet (or at least even CLEANER than what I eat now... which is tough to do because I eat really clean already...) so I'm SCARED! I'm afraid I'll be too hungry and grouchy and just unbearably suffering...

But you don't make it seem so bad. Or maybe I'm just reading in to it how I want to.

 

[Will2BLean]

Oh no, Roons! That stinks about the pumpkin pudding! It's the best thing ever.

 

[Roonytunes]

I have developed a taste for plain sweet potato, so I think I’ll survive. I had a feeling the pumpkin would be yanked away sooner or later since it came in a can but it's also because it has a lot of Vitamin A apparently. But that pudding concoction also tastes good with just chocolate protein powder or almond butter with s/f pudding mix, so I’ll give that a whirl. I actually had it with red kidney beans the other day (yes, I’m a weirdo) and I actually thought it was good too.

Funny, because YOU are such an inspiration to me! I know what you mean about being SCARED – like you I feel like I already eat clean, so having to drop certain foods that keep me somewhat sane now, seems like a huge change in routine. Like a week ago, when I was told that I couldn’t have Laughing Cow light cheese wedges anymore, I was devastated. That piece of Ezekiel bread with creamy cheese was always that final icing to my mid-afternoon meal that I would look forward to. Well, guess what – I tossed all the remaining light cheese wedges after I was told in the garbage and haven’t looked back since. In fact, not having the cheese has made me not want to have the bread as much either, and I have to say my stomach looks much less poochy now than before. Instead, I’ve been experimenting with different legumes (butter beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans etc), splurged a little on fresh salmon filets to have often, played around with veggies and started to develop a taste for different meal combos. My point is we’ll find a way to make it work….and when we can add these items back into our diet, we'll probably learn to appreciate them even more.

OH MY!!! Now THAT is scary!

Roons, I hear ya' on throwing the food out! One of my students gave me a HALF GALLON OF CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE ICE CREAM for Christmas! Ahhhh!

I left it in the fridge at school... I don't have spoons, so I'll probably pawn it off on a good class one day.

I also received these chocolate-covered berry candies... I had one serving and counted it... then poured the rest of the bag in the trash because I didn't think it was worth it. I hear you!

I'm proud of you girl -- how are you going to deal with Christmas Day? (pardon me for my lack of PC-ness if you're not a person who celebrates Christmas, btw).

 

[Roonytunes]

OH MY!!! Now THAT is scary!

I'm proud of you girl -- how are you going to deal with Christmas Day? (pardon me for my lack of PC-ness if you're not a person who celebrates Christmas, btw).

I actually posted a recipe in the recipe thread here for chocolate brownies made with black beans. The girls on the Oxygen forum were all raving about it so I guess it doesn't taste as bad as it sounds

No worries about the lack of PC-ness, but no, I don't celebrate X'mas. So it'll just be a long weekend for me with regular meals. But I do have an issue with New Yr's Eve. I'm just going to call that a flat out cheat night. But in a weird way, I'm not looking forward to it as much as I thought. I'm scared that because I haven't drank very much lately, I'm going to get too drunk over very little and worse yet, have the most godawful hangover the next day. And these days, while food still tastes great going down and I love every spoonful I put down, it doesn't sit well anymore. Not to mention, the party I'm going to is serving a "lavish Indian/Italian buffet" so I'm sure it will be a carb-lovers dream come true So we'll see what happens...I also keep telling myself one night is not a huge deal in the big picture. I do plan on loading up on Sesapure

ps - that is awesome willpower to keep those treats you're getting from your students at bay!
