This is getting to be dangerous ground!
Got it! I thought it was this week yet.
Tori, you're such a hoot! We'll see if Miss Cleo wins out. I came on here to update my goals .. . but I get so sidetracked.
Isn't that a big improvement with your cousin asking you to walk? (Not sure if I'm remembering correctly.)
I think I recall Mike's shoes too! I still laugh, for some reason, when I think about it!

I stayed so clean today!!! I updated all my cals just now and stayed below 1400 for the day. Dinner consisted of a ton of veggies cut up, tossed in a little olive oil, bit of salt and pepper and baked, then a splash of lemon juice. 1/2 avocado and a little white rice. Low cal and I am totally full! And for dessert - I popped a lemon herb Ricola - tasted just like a lemon bar, well sort of, but I convinced myself it did at least. Not craving anything sweet at all now!
BUT - tomorrow will be a Stay Clean challenge of the worst kind... It is donut Friday at work, bagels and about 6 types of cream cheese will also be on display free for the taking. And breakfast juices with tons of carbs. Please start praying for me at about 9am PST, because I will be tempted beyond belief to head to conference room 5 and dive in!
I hope to catch-up on all posts tomorrow, my son wants the computer to watch Winnie the Pooh now. Have a wonderful evening everyone!
Sweet dreams. Ama.

Thanks a lot Jho! Quinn has already called me out on updating my pics. Once I get rid of some of this tonnage I'll update them... although it seems that I'm meeting everyone in person. I met Tori and she said I looked like Baby Huey, 2 weeks later I met Amy and she said I was nice (kinda like in high school and I'm trying to hook a friend up with a chick and he asks about her and I reply... "She's nice." Just kidding Amy!!!
Guess what you guise... I'm about to meet another from the 7 day thread!!! That'll be 3 in a month. NOLA really is the place to be. I won't say who but I bet y'all can guess.

Whatevs!!! I believe it was you who said you looked like Baby Huey. And if I recall correctly, I told you to shut the F&*% up. Now, your pissy shoes, those were fair game
Different cousin. There's the one who always WANTS to workout with me, but then finds some reason she can't. This one is her little sister, the prison guard. She's SO much like me, despite the 8 year age difference, we're probably closer than she and her sister are. But she wound up not working out either. After I met her, she showed me her new place and then wanted Mexican food. What's a good fat girl to do??? Eat the yummy quesadilla!!! Mine was good, her's however had a big ole piece of plastic in it. Needless to say, we didn't even have to pitch a fit, the manager came right over and apologized and comped the whole meal. Then she got into an arguement with her roommate (which nothing new there, they fight on a daily basis) and she just lost her get up and go. But I still got my walk in, so yay me!

1) 1,700 calories max/day - 1454, 1417, 1557, 1467
2) walk for 1 hour, lift weights for 1/2 hour every day except work days (I only work 2-3 days a week), but do it on work days too if I feel like it - no but worked, no but worked, walk 1/2 hr/weights 1/2hr, walk 1 hr/weights 1/2 hr
3) eat more protein, get up from 17% - 18% (it's a start!), 21%, 25%, 22%
4) 64oz water minimum - 64oz, 72oz, 64oz, 64oz
5) calorie deficit at least 500 - 1069, 980, 726, 871
I actually have no idea how much water I drank today (every time I filled up my bottle hubby came along and drank half of it) but I know it was at least 64oz, so I'm leaving it at that. I haven't done my weights yet but I'm off to do that right now, so I put it in.

Thanks a lot Jho! Quinn has already called me out on updating my pics. Once I get rid of some of this tonnage I'll update them... although it seems that I'm meeting everyone in person. I met Tori and she said I looked like Baby Huey, 2 weeks later I met Amy and she said I was nice (kinda like in high school and I'm trying to hook a friend up with a chick and he asks about her and I reply... "She's nice." Just kidding Amy!!!
Guess what you guise... I'm about to meet another from the 7 day thread!!! That'll be 3 in a month. NOLA really is the place to be. I won't say who but I bet y'all can guess.

Oh good grief, you're going to meet mh uh? It's just as well we northern folk won't be there for that face to face. I swear the two of you speak in some sort of southern-ese gibberish that begs an interpreter.
