Thanks for the compliments... means alot, specially when I come in here feeling like I do. I swear sometimes I think I'm bi-polar!! I was doing ok this morning, felt good lifting and was doing ok eating too! Got home and I'm a mess!! And then go to my aunt/uncles house and I feel even worse. So what do I do? Stop by the store and got some SF waffers... SF is better than the others but dang it!!
I can't seem to find my motivation to STOP eating sweets... it's like my will power just dissipates when I think about eating something sweet. One minute I'm planning out what I'm going to eat for the next day - smiling and happy that I'm planning healthy foods and the next I'm at the store getting sweets that I don't really even care if I have... WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!! I swear to the heavens above I am so sick of feeling gross and fat and blubbery!! And yet I can't seem to get myself to care when I'm at the store buying CRAP food. My face is broken out, my clothes don't fit, my hair is nasty and I'm shedding like mad, I don't sleep well and to top it all off I KNOW what's causing it! So why can't I just stop?? GRRRRR. I keep telling myself each meal is a new meal, each day is a new day; and each day I find myself cheating and sucking face with crappy, sugary foods!
Does anyone have any suggestions?? I can't just lock myself in the closet with chicken and rice but damn it I sure as hell am wondering if that's what it's going to take!!
Ok ok - I'm done venting - thank you very much for listening/reading... sorry if I'm a bit dramatic I'm just really frustrated.
Anywho - here's to tomorrow, which will be better!!!

Sorry about the explosion last night - was tired, not feeling well and frustrated... bad mix when it comes to Chrystal!! Today's looking better and I'm trying to get all my food in order so I don't have to go to the store period. Hope you all have a GREAT day ~C

No need to worry about venting...we women are emotional things at times...my 4 yr old daughter is the melt down queen and I see where she gets it from...WOMEN IN GENERAL!!!! Now, here are few things to help keep you sane and get you back on track..hopefully. Sweets are a girls best friend...but when it comes to FBB it is our worst enemy....try these or think about it. 1) If you are not cutting up for a show it is ok to have a sweet..portion control is KEY. If you like chocolate try a double scoop of chocolate protein mix with water or 1% milk...not skim and make a pudding...AWESOME!!! OR double chocolate scoop, add PButter(natural if you have it) add milk or water to shaker and shake up. 2) If you are good at portion control allow yourself ONE mini-hershey kiss or any mini chocolate bar MID DAY, helps cut the mid day "IF I DO NOT HAVE CHOCOLATE NOW I AM GONNA KILL SOMEONE" craving!!!! 3) If you are craving salt---try one low salt rice cake with Nat. PButter on top...super filling and yummy 4) Count out chips and put the bag away...so you know EXACTLY how much you are having. 5) FAUX butter-ok, I am a food network guru....I love gourmet cooking....Rachael Ray..I am obsessed with...so I use REAL BUTTER occasionally BUT when I want the taste of butter, I have the I can't believe it is not butter spray...NO CALORIES so I spray the hell out of my baked potatoes, veggies.....can't help it. Again, if you are cutting for a show none of the above applies, but if you are not doing a show indulge yourself at times!!!! ;D

Was good most of today. 7am - Oatbran/wheatbran/flax w/ blueberries and nf milk 11am (was supposed to be 10 but cardio's) - 4oz chicken w/ ~3oz rice and about 4oz broccoli 4ish (again with the bad timeing!) - 4oz chicken w/3oz rice and 4 pickling cucumbers 6 - 1/2 pure protein bar and a shake from the smoothie place in the gym... pb, protein, sf chocolate, fat loss, multi vit and ice... yeah that's what's in it. 8ish - chicken (probably about 6oz) and 6 sf waffers... needed something sweet Bad girl!! Wo was great cardio: interval's on the step mill. Low (1:30 min) at lvl 12, high (1:30 min) at lvl 15 - my legs get sore when I'm on that thing, not sure what the deal is! - 20 min's total though Weights Narrow Lat Pull down 120x15 140x8 help5-8 130x8 help7-8 T-Bar Row 35x15 45x15 55x12 Rev.

DAMN woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those are mega-impressive numbers!! #bowdown3ht# #woot4ho# #woot4ho# #woot4ho# #woot4ho# #woot4ho# #woot4ho# Thanks I love pushing on leg day - always feel like I can do more 5 minutes after it's done More is less... at least that's what I keep telling Serine!! Wanted to do the Hip Hop class today after my last client... yeah well my boss, who's in LV right now, called to talk to me mid class. So I ended up walking on the TM for 20 min's instead. Nothing intense, but I figured a light cardio wasn't too bad as long as I was doing the HIIT at least 3 times a week. Now I get home and mom's pissy cause of little sis and both are the "victim" in the situation... BLEH! Where's my ice cream and donuts?? ~grumbles as she grabs her bottle of water~ Damn health food!! haha

Dang girl, your numbers still blow me away!!! I know I've only been at this bb stuff for about a year now and my strength is increasing, but gosh, I couldn't even imagine ever doing some of those numbers, no matter how long I train. #bowdown3ht#

Well I can't say that it's all training that's gotten me this far - I've got genetic's like you wouldn't believe Both of my parents are strong people and I happen to be built like my father so.... Thanks for the compliments Makes me smile and feel good about all the weights I push to lift. Gonna be an easy day today at work - 1 client at 7 and then that's it... I suppose that means I have to actually do something else though... here's to a good day of eating!! It's always harder when there's not alot to do ~C

Thanks all ~hugs~ Right now I need some positive vibes and you guys are all there to tell me "good job" even when you barely know me. Much appreciated!! Am reading an e-book right now that I think it's about time I read. One of those "at the right time" type things. The first chapter talks alot about goals and mind sets. I started thinking about it and my mindset has been in the proverbial crapper lately, it's no wonder why I'm not making any headway!! The power of positive talk right? So each day, each minute, every second, I'm now working on talking more positively to and about myself, repeating my goals and where I know I'll be, and pushing myself to make the changes I know I'm capable of. Lifts today: Rev. Lunges on the smith (wt per side) 50x15 85x15 95x12 SLDL (wt per side) 85x15 95x12 105x12 Single Leg Curl - Hammer Str (wt per leg) 55x15 65x12 65x12 ss w/Ball Digs 15 (3 sets) ss w/Ab Machine 1 set = 20 reg, 20 1 leg up, 20 reg (2 sets of that) 50 reg crunchs Calf Raises - leg sled (wt per side) 135x15 (4 sets - reg, inner, outter, reg) Cardio - turbo Kick 60ish minutes - 795cal's according to my heart rate monitor. My legs didn't like me for that one b/c of the quads yesterday... Ate ok today. Bad stuff I had was sugar free white choc almond bark and some fig newton's. Definitely could have made some worse choices so I'm proud that I did that. Will be working on the other stuff too though! Gotta get alot of that out of my diet! And that's all she wrote Gonna head to bed so I can be somewhat awake tomorrow when I lift with Serine! Go go 7am lifting of shoulders! WOO HOO! Hope you all had a wonderful day ~C

#smileyapplause3ec# #smileyapplause3ec# #smileyapplause3ec# #bpressingsmiley9yk# AMAZING POUNDAGES !!!!! GREAT WO!!!!
Now, I agree 100% about setting goals and being positive about ourselves!!! I, recently have decided for myself, that I am in charge of my mood and I decide my mood EACH AND EVERYDAY!!! When I have a great mood from the start of the day my days are better...my kids have better days and me and my hubby get along better as well. It is AMAZING what just a change of attitude can do for oneself.
You ate great.....heck I had like 5 tootsie rolls yesterday!!!!! ;D

I think I need to read that book - it's getting harder and harder to keep positive with all these curve balls being thrown at me Yesterday I was so ready to crack and have a Kit Kat but I happened to see this very very over weight lady eating one and that snapped me right out of my craving. So for the rest of the day, every time I found my mind wandering to the yummy taste of chocolate, I just looked around, observed those who were eating junk and it made it so much easier to stay strong - I DO NOT WANT TO LOOK LIKE THAT!!
