Where is everybody today! I hope busy working out, having fun and eating good!

I went for an 8 mile hike today at Rickett's Glen! It took us 4 hours. Some of the trails were really difficult and very steep.

I will post pics SOON!

TOM started and I weighed in at 136 this morning.
I had cornbread and chili after hiking and all I had before that was some peanuts while hiking.

LOTS of water this week!!!

Hi girls!!

Yuck. I went to this work meeting and I ate 2 pieces of pizza and a mini piece of chocolate at like 4:30 p.m. The worst part was that i wasn't even hungry. and now I literally feel SICK.

the weird part is, I used to feel guilty when I ate pizza b/c it was "bad" and had a million calories..... now I don't feel guilty.... but after doing low carb, I realize that this really starchy food actually makes me feel bloated and gross.

So, even though I definitely veered off my diet today, I guess I am learning how my body reacts to certain foods. Pizza is not my friend. haha

anyway, I am rambling. Hope you all are doing better than I am! early day tomorrow.... so I am off to bed soon.

xoxoxo

haha ythat is my note to self i havent ate yet tofay(fast day) but i am thinking about what i want to eat..... not a good ide

Hihi, Mallory, I only got half of what you wrote Hope you don't feel bad in the morning!

Hartley, for me it was also only until I ate lc that I noticed the huge impact of food on the body! But I think it's a good sign, b/c you are supposed to hear what your body says, no? And now it gives pretty clear instructions

Jess, I'd love to go hiking again! I envy you so much that you have all those Glens and Hills around Please post pictures! Oh, and how do you feel about your hair? Are you more happy about them as you were when you cut them?

Again Hi godsbelove! Good luck for you! But you seem pretty determined, I don't doubt you will make it!

Today the ketostix showed only traces after the 15 seconds waiting, and turned a bit darker afterwards. I find that strange, I don't think I ate something forbidden yesterday, the only thing I can think of is that I might have had too much veggies? Today I will try to eat (almost) only protein for dinner, so that all carbs are burned before I go to bed.

A new week ladies! Have fun!

Oh, and I wanted to ask, does any of you girls watch Gossip Girl? I am so addicted, although maybe I'm already a bit old for it

I think the girls are too thin, but they nevertheless look fabulous, and I find it motivating for me...

I got the idea because hartley wrote xoxoxo under her post, which instantly reminded my of the narrator gossip girl....

Ok, that's it

I just bought a pair of jeans that I also bought last week, only one size smaller. I currently have a tight size 40 (US 10), and the new pair is size 38 (8).
I hope it will fit soon!

I'm at work right now but working on posting the pics today. I had to resize all of them because they were really high quality, so they aren't as great now but will take less time to upload.

I'm back down to 134.8 and on TOM so WOOHOO!
maybe we'll do another 8 mile hike next sunday!...or more!

Hey everyone! I'm 141.5 today! I'm not sure why because I ate a dean & deluca oversized cookie yesterday, but... I'll take it anyway! ha, ha. In my defense, I did exercise afterward, so maybe I took care of it before it had a chance to stick!

Great job Jess on the hike! That's awesome! Keep up the good work! I knew you'd get past your stall!

Mone! I hope you get into your new size soon! I bought an awesome pair of courduroy pants from J.Crew Saturday. They're a size 10, and the guy in the dressing room kept trying to push a size 8 on me... That felt nice!

Mallory... Are you trying to one-up my drunk post from this weekend?

Anyway, here's to a great Monday everyone! And for once, I don't have to be in extra early today!!! yay!

Awesome Holly

however, 134 is where I stall, so not past that yet, not even to 134 yet. But we'll see how this week goes.

Okay all my hiking pics are uploaded to my myspace.

if you cant view them let me know. I'm also uploading them to webshots.

Hey Jess! great pics! I just added you as a friend on myspace, too, BTW

hey ladies -

this weekend was CRAZY. i ate on plan, just not a lot of food and at really random hours of the day... and i was completely drunk on saturday night - red wine and champagne...

the best part is that on sunday, i weighed in at 142!!!!!!!!! so i guess the drinking couldn't have been that bad! (i'm a bit worried that it was all just from dehydration though...i guess we will find out if its real or not in a couple of days)

the other thing is that i rode horses: 6 hours on saturday, 4 on sunday. its great to be riding again, but my legs are killing me. its the ultimate butt/inner thigh workout.

happy monday everyone: lets have a clean week!
