Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Monday Nov 12

I have been eating pretty bad all weekend. Today didn't get better as I nibbled on a bag of m&ms. What were those doing in my house??LOL Yesterday we went out on the motorcycle ride and stopped for dinner. I had a steak, salad (they said they no longer had light dressing:( ) , and burgundy mushrooms instead of potato. But then we went and got ice cream and I had a Heath blast. Later I snacked on Special K and soy milk. I am having to use my old laptop that overheats and doesn't always want to get online. The guy took mine in to pull the keyboard out to refasten a loose key:(

Dallys, my Fresh Cinnamon Roll Lean Dessert Protein came. I haven't tried it yet. It smells yummy. I had already eaten some of my vanilla with my plain yogurt and a red pear. I always like it when I get that workout all out of the way early. Just usually doesn't happen.

Debbie, so good to have you back. Missed your check ins. Great workout.

Anne, I always feel uncomfortable doing front squats. I usually end up having to lower my weight.

Lora, have you seen Aromaleigh's holiday kits? I ordered the naughty one. My Lush package should be here soon. My Lean Dessert protein I just received today smells yummy:)

Randi, I think I will not offer you boyfriend advice. I do hope things work out because you really don't want to hurt.
 
My TEAS came!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!! Such a dork...anyhoo....

Did my 14 mile bike ride (was slow going some..legs still sore from yesterday weights and horsey ride) Did the 14 miles in 1 1/2 hours (horrible timing..like I said..sore legs)...got my protein shake and out the door to mow the yard one last time. Gosh, this weather is so nice out today and now tonight...still got windows open.
Still got ab work to do. No clue what to make for dinner. Getting spoiled from eating out so much (food is good though..you know it);)

Later Ladies.

Randi - Dallys & Suz both have good points also. I guess I'm not the best person to ask for relationship advice. I always went for what I felt in my gut and things didn't always work out. Is he saying he doesn't want to see you anymore??...but then he still calls, etc.?? I'm confused. I also agree about the intimate part....as we wouldn't want him to be "using you" for that....sorry to be blunt.

Deb - welcome back. You were missed.

Diane Sue - I have been meaning to confess here about my recent chocolate attacks at work while straightening up the candy aisle at work....hasn't been good and Hershey Mint Truffle & Cherry Kisses were 2 for $2 yesterday so guess who had to buy them?? No ....haven't seen the Aromaleigh but I'll have to check them out.

Well ....I got a call from the Temp Agency this morning and got offered that Temp to Hire job for the Colon & Rectal surgeon. I accepted and start on Dec 3 but I'm really scared and doubting my abilities to to the job since it's so high tech and the office manager is so militant. I'm scared S%$%less!! Let's hope I can do it. Oh, and the pay sucks....only $8.75 an hour...but they provide your uniforms and after a year, you get sick and vacation time, as well as a Pension Plan. I don't know how to tell Walgreen's. I feel sort of bad and my DH wants me to quit 2 days before Thanksgiving so I dont' have to work the Holiday.

Suz - now, I'll be whining about having to get back onto my "early" schedule and be rushed in the morning with my workouts!! LOL.......never satisfied........although I'm very grateful that I'll be on a SCHEDULE again with my weekends free! Let's hope I conquer this job this time. Wouldn't it be something to retire at the exact job I started my Medical Secretary career in? strange, huh?
 
Lora - Congrats on the new job! Try not to be nervous. You can do it! It would be weird to retire from where you started - full circle. That's okay if you complain about getting up early and being rushed. If I got up as early as you do, I'd complain too!

Diane Sue - My eating hasn't been stellar this weekend either. I make up for it on other meals if I mess up on one. I guess it's all about balance. I am now at the age that I'm starting to get HEARTBURN things. That's lovely. I never used to get heartburn. I'm getting old! Not even fried things (I don't like much fried stuff). I had one of those Asian salads at McDonald's today for the first time. YUMMY!!! What are those little green things in there? DH thought they were lima beans but I told him I would throw up if they were. Aren't those the things that Dallys was talking about? I told him they tasted nutty. So he called them lima nuts. :)

Suz = those are soy beans ....those things Dallys keeps talking about. I'm totally addicted to that salad. I take it into work with me for lunch when I work nights! I love the dressing too. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Huh - I didn't think soybeans were green for some reason. Shows what I know! Oh yeah, I really liked the dressing too. I didn't use it all, but I sure liked it. I didn't even talk to DH, I just kept eating. :)

Dinner this evening was better. I had a large salad with some diet lean ground beef(small amount) fat free cheese and black bean salsa w fat free ranch dressing.

Debbie, thanks for the heads up on the Pumpkin soup. I went back to look at the recipe to see what it was that kept me from trying it. I think it was the combo of reduced fat coconut milk(wasn't sure I could find it) and the orange juice. Didn't look like enough texture and substance to me. I made the Shrimp and barley one. I added extra shrimp and on day two I added more Kidney beans. I made the Szechuan Chicken strips and Tofu and instead of the sauce I just sprinkled a little low sodium soy sauce and rice vinegar on it. Tasted pretty good anyway. I think that one was from Tosca Renos Cookbook. I also like Elaine Goodlads Chicken Curry. I think some of us are still mentioning our eating.

Suz, I have to take Nexium everyday. Can't eat pizza and tomato sauces like I used to. I even choose mild salsas and pico de gallo. I love the spicey stuff but it does not love me back. I love that Asian salad. I think when I used to think of soybeand I pictured the toasted ones:)

Hey girls- The beans are called "edemame". They are just soybeans and I think they are pretty tastey too.:9 Just got back from one of my photo classes. I have one more tomorrow and then I'm done (community classes Suz!:)). I've learned tons and it's been nice to get out of the house and talk to actual real humans!:+

Lora- I'm crossing fingers that this will be a great job for you. It sucks to be our age and have to worry about beginning postition pay. I think it's seriously wrong and think they should start you out at twice or thrice that money.}(

Debbie- I'll for sure stay away from that soup! Oy!

Randi- Keep us posted. I feel for you, it's a tough spot to be in.:(

Suz- Love the new Avatar! Did Dh get a new lens for his Camera (Macro lens?) I tried the "Parrot eyeball shot" with my Cockatiel and twasn't easy! Like, he won't even hold still for a nano second, LOL! He loved the attention though.:)

WD- Did you try the cinnamon roll protein powder yet?
