I'm rather behind on all the posts and don't have a chance toread them right now! Anywho I just wanted to share the email I got from fibergourmet cuz i thought it was so freaking cute!!!

Go get yoursefl some cheapo pasta!

FiberGourmet is running its biggest sale of the year! Here's the story:

A few months ago I met an incredible woman, B. She’s beautiful, intelligent, warm – I could go on forever, but the important thing is that I fell in love with her. Last week I asked her for her hand in marriage and, wonder of wonders, she said yes. This put me in such a euphoric mood that I wanted to share it with all of our customers in the form of a huge sale on FiberGourmet’s entire line of reduced-calorie, high-fiber products.

To take advantage of the discount, simply go to our website and enter the coupon code SheSaidYes at checkout to save 15% on your our order! But hurry, the “honeymoon” for this sale ends on Thursday night at 11:59 PM.

Euphorically yours,
Ari
VP, FiberGourmet

P.S: You can congratulate the bride by signing our guestbook.

WEEK 7: CHANGE VS TRANSITION: My negative attitude towards my body and weight. I have been getting better with it. No so judgmenatl about slip ups and gains. Overall it makes me feel happier and that's the whole point.

Soraya: Hope your sciatica is feeling better!! Hooray for the kick off party!! Congrats! Hope you drank lots of water to feel better! That's how I've been trying to feel about working out too! Make it top priority! I find it best to do in the am cuz then I still have the whole rest of the day to do whatever I want!

Karen: The softball game was fun! Managed to booze eat a burgers and hotdogs and still weigh less the next day! Yay! Probably helped that Mr. Pete shared my food.

Karey: Keep up the good work! I finally managed to get up this am and get a weights workout in! It's felt so good! I wore a dress to work today and everyone keep commenting on how musclar my legs are! Really? My legs?? Are you sure?? haha And I know it's late but Happy Anniversary!! All you're anniversary food sounds so delicious!!

Mandy: So glad you're finally seeing results!! Congratulations!! For the first weekend in a long time I was really good with my food too!! Yay!

Me: Made some yummy things from the hungry girl cookbook. Made the blueberry muffins and had meant to put Protein powder in the but forgot! Boo. Next batch I'll try to remember! Went mechanical bull riding friday night and boy was I sore and bruised the next day! It was loads of fun though! 

Hey all!!  How's everyone doing??

I think it must just be random cuz I've seen myself on there and I've been here a year. I've also seen other people there who have been on the site multiple years.

Someone posted this on the Fitness forum last week.

Let the euphemisms begin.

 That one had me laughing for hours!! I sent it to everyone in my office, we made jokes about it all day. After a bit of googling and finding it for only $19.95 someone is soooooo getting it for Secret Santa this year!

Oh, admit it, you are getting it for yourself.

 Nah, I'm just gonna use my BF instead! Hahahaha

Mandy: Haha! Yeah sometimes it does get confusing with all of us!! Good luck with the doggie issues!

Soraya: Glad you and Sabriyya are both feeling better!! Is there Kashi Stuff in cali?? Try their pizza, it's really good and not bad for you at all! I love their thin crust flavors.

Gina: Sorry you didn't meet your goal weight! It's ok just keep up the good work! Nice that Brock can housesit for you. I really need to find a good dog sitter, no one seems to take care of Pete they way I want. Dive into that hungry girl book ASAP! They're so many good things to help curb cravings! I've been running on the TM inside and the heat is still killing me! We should be getting a break from the humidity by the weekend, thank god! The new guy sounds pretty cool, sucks he lives so far away though.

Karey: Hey you! yeah we're trying so hard but you keep coming back!! LOL! I would make black beans, I love beans I could eat them with everything. Speaking of I have a can of chickpeas begging to be made into hummus! Haha

Me: I was supposed to do weights last night, but I was still way too sore! I just walked and stretched a bunch. Feeling better today did C25K and more stretching this am, I should be good to go for weights tomorrow!

pound for pound, yes they are the same. But muscle is denser so more of it takes up less space. So if you compared the same mass amount the muscle would weigh more. Hope that helps

Mandy: Hope you're feeling better after friday! Keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll be fine next bootcamp session!

Gina: Sucks your power went out! How was your date??

Karey: Is your new group called "keeping your sexy back"?? hahaha! Well glad to know you "ditched" us for something good! haha I agree with you though. It upsets me a bit when people seems to be making weight loss so important. especailly when most of them are already at a healthy weight. So funny you bring up the making food for a week thing, because that's all I did sunday!! Cook, cook. cook! It really does ease my brain! I made a turkey stir-fry to go over steamed cabbage, beef soup, split pea soup,  (yeah I know that makes no sense since it's been beyond humid in NY but I just really wanted soup!) and buffalo chicken dip (a rather naughty snack but it's loaded with protein and I pair it with a toasted high fiber tortilla so it's rather filling).

Me: Started a new workout plan, and I'm gonna try and rotate my workouts every 8 weeks. I think it'll be easier to process that way, ya know? Cuz I'll always know something new is coming.  Also I've decided to try to lose weigh a .5 lb a week. Stressing to get 1-2 lbs a week just makes me grumpy when I fail.  We'll see how this works....

START     June 25-27: 155 lbs
Week 1.   July 2 - 4: 155 lbs (0.0)
Week 2.   July 9-11: 154.6 lbs (-0.4)
Week 3.   July 16-18: 155.6 lbs (+1.0)
Week 4.   July 23-25: 158 lbs (+2.4)
Week 5.   July 30-Aug1: 156 lbs (-2.0)
Week 6.   Aug 6-8:
Week 7.   Aug 13-15:
Week 8.   Aug 20-22:
Week 9.   Aug 27-29:
FINISH.   Sept 3-5:

woo hoo!!! Finally headed in the right direction.

WEEK 6: MIND OVER MATTER

Well my new approach is to keep changing things up. Every 8 weeks I come up with a new workout routine and every month I create new goals for myself.  I find it easier to thing in terms of " I only have to workout like this for 6 more weeks" instead of thinking " I need to exercise like this until I'm at my goal weight.

Also  understanding that slow and steady wins the race, and this is the hardest thing to learn!! GRRRRR!!!!  Now I'm only looking to lose .5 lbs a week, rather than the 1-2lbs I uaually want.  It makes everything feel less taxing. Sure I won't be at the skinny weight I want for this summer, but next summer I will and everything will be maintainable!! 

Soraya: I'm so sorry and so understand how your daugther feels! sent you a PM.

Karen: yeah the puddles were random and everywhere!! It was really cool!

Morning ladies! How is everyone doing?? I feel like this week is moving so fast!! Can't believe it's already Thurs! Not that I'm complaining or anything! haha!

Tonight and tomorrow are pretty busy for me. I've gotta paint this awesome old school crib for my cousin's baby shower on saturday. I've had this thing for a month already!! You think I would have been smart and started this earlier!! Ugh. 

Anywhoo then Friday it's happy hour with the coworkers! I need to be good and not do any serious damage to myself.  By the time we get to the bar after work there's just about 1 hour left of happy so I'll only drink during that hour than I'll head out. Should only be about 2 drinks and that shoud easily work into my cals.

Have a good day everyone!

WEEK 5: MY REWARD - How will you reward yourself when you finally get to your goal?

Oh I came up with a way better reward for myself! New Bras!! God I can't remember the last time I bought any and the few I have need to be replaced! But nice ones are expensive and I always have such a hard time finding the right size
