Outrageous October Talia's

[minime]

Hi Talia

I don't mean make your workout longer, I mean general activity. Walk places instead of driving that sort of thing. That is what I do - I walk or ride my bike everywhere.

I like your pictures - your doggie is very cute.

Thanks! i love my puppies!!
It's hard for me to walk instead of drive though. I live 1/2 hour from work, 1/2 hour from my boyfriends and the store, well I usually go on my way back from somewhere
oh well, I will figure something out, I have 6 weeks to tweak something

25 min octane

rest day

can't seem to eat right when I tell myself I really need to... we went out to eat yesturday for my boyfriends mothers birthday and I did good- had a chicken ceaser with fat free italian a side of 2 shrimp skewers and garlic mashed potatoes but I like just can't seem to get my fat intake down like I want it...gotta work on that this week....

ok haha.. I ruined another day and so this is no longer day 4. tomorrow, yes procrastination at it's finest, tomorrow will be day 1 and I am swearing to myself now that I will stick to this plan for the next 6 weeks because I am sick of putting this off! it's time to seriously get serious!!!!!

goal:
*only one of the 8 c's one time per week at an acceptable intake- I can't believe I haven't even had any cereal yet! seriously no picking or anything at it! now if I could only control my cravings for peanut butter!!!!
*keep calorie intake same
*try and lower fat intake to at least 45 grams per day and see where that rolls
* eat more veggies! ever since I became a meat eater again I kind of forgot what vegetables are
* keep processed food as minimal as possible
*make and bring my own food for work
*take it one day at a time
* re-test on the 4th- the day before my birthday

GAME ON!!!

Day 1- went very well. I haven't been able to get the grocery store so tomorrow will be more challenging but I think I will manage. I stuck to what I brought to eat at work, spaced it out good enough and when I got home had some chicken and mashed pots. I am really into doing this for myself so I think I am finally on the right track here!

Day 2- another good day. kept below my fat intake, but still need to eat more in calories. I finally did a little shopping so I can have a great breakfast and some really good snacks/lunch food. I just started reading Twilight and it's making me remember how much I enjoy reading and even writing. When I was in school I was so philosophical and was so in tune with my emotions and now I just feel like I have let them run lose because I don't write poetry or allow my emotions to be absorbed into something totally false. It feels great reading it! I have been underlining words I don't know and looking them up and probably going to take them and put them into a nice little booklet or something so I can learn them

30 min elliptical
leg press:
90lbs, 1 set, 12 reps
1 leg lunge on bosu ball 1 set 10 reps each leg with 15lb db in each hand

day 3- using this as my 1 day a week to cheat. I was doing great until after working 11-9 got into a stupid argument with my boyfriend over the phone on my way home and I am completely ****ing aggrivated and I am going to bed now because he can't give me answers to things that come out of his mouth. So I ate pizza for dinner!!! I'm not gonna worry about it, all of the other days this week I will be in a position to eat something good so I am not going to let it get me down, just use it as my cheat day and let it go

30 min elliptical

hey talia, sorry to hear you are having man troubles! hope you feel better soon.

[minime]

oh and nice work on the 75x10 bench press, wow you are stronger than me now

[sweetdream]

Minime- boy troubles are resolved thank god! we usually don't fight a lot anymore but when we do it's about stupid stuff. I hated going to bed mad and upset because I slept like crap, but oh well, it's over now!

I can't believe I can bench that! I remember not even being able to do the bar haha or being like will I ever add weight to this thing? It's great having Jen as a workout buddy because when I say 70 she says 75, when I say 8 reps she says 10 and if she does 10 I HAVE to do 10 too haha~!

Halloween was fun, I was a sunny side up egg and my boyfriend was bacon. It was cool cause no one else dressed up like funny stuff but I did feel out of place by not showing off my body. Next year, I am being slutty and that's it. So I have a full year to get hot! haha

day 4 & 5 have been ok- last night I munched on some bagel crisps and hummus but it could have been worse, I avoided pretzles thursday and last night so I am very proud over that! I am getting my period soon so the scale is pretty lame haha. I weighed 135 at the doctor with pants, a shirt, a sweat and sneakers on, so I figure 132 which I normally am. 3lbs for the clothes?! I think so? maybe..who knows..

today is an off day although I might do something, but more than likely I won't because I really want to finish the book "Twilight" I am reading so I can move to the next one in the series! it's really good!
