pammiejoe6 · 05-16-2006, 06:44 PM

hola mama! how goes it?

JJ_Sungirl · 05-16-2006, 07:18 PM

Hola, bonjour, shalom...(I only know 3 languages) :P

Well, things are heating up, literally and figuratively! The weather here is nice and warm. My pooch has been having the time of his life outdoors the last few days! hehehe

For me, I have been pretty hard on myself wanting to acheive great results this month...literally only ounces are coming off, isnt that insane?? I have been staggering my calories because on some days I teach 4 aerobics classes and I need ALOT energy to keep that pace...most of the time my cals are more moderate. Its tough already exercising so much and being this size...trying to get smaller. Well, I'll keep pluggin away!!!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend and is ready to kick some arse this week!!!!

dnyc99 · 05-16-2006, 09:58 PM

Hang in there GF.

I know what you mean but, there is so much one can push their bodies and it will start resisting change/stall. I'm sure we'll be able to see all your progress and hard work in your next pics. It's hard for you to see them even if they are just 'ounces'...you have to see the bigger picture. I bet you are looking more lean and buff since the last time I saw you!!

Don't be so hard on yourself...you are doing fabulous...and your hard work is paying off. I know it..cause I've noticed with my own eyes!! :winkthumb :yes:

Keep up the great work hun..and don't forget to treat yourself to something nice you deserve it.

~D~

**NewSpawn** · 05-16-2006, 10:50 PM

hi JJ...things are bumpin along.....i have lost another 4 pounds or so putting me around 181 or so according to my scale....which prolly ain't accurate. right now i am busy with softball with my daughter(help coach the team) and its really cutting into the workouts.....oh well that is a worthwhile sacrifice. as soon as that is over i am gonna go back heavy and hard and see if i can put some serious mass on this frame....i feel small now, especially having lost more weight. never satisfied.... that is the key. pretty soon(roll my eyes)i am gonna surpass spytech and make him wear a tutu(cough...cough....bullshit). thanks for ya'lls kind words....very motivating. keep up the dedication...in my book u are kickass and ur gonna make great strides....you already look good jj. anyway, have a great week and thanks for stoppin by my thread.

ps: whats ur doggie doing outside thats so fun.......hehehehehehe

pammiejoe6 · 05-17-2006, 12:02 AM

you know 3 languages? impressive!

hey just try to do your best...i would be a little concerned too with all that aerobic exercise you get....wouldnt it be working against the muscle building process?....(just concerned!)

and anyway you look fanflippingtastic NOW...so no worries....like everyone else said....you may not be able to see the changes but WE can!! so hang in there sweety! hugs!

DawnMarie · 05-17-2006, 12:07 AM

Hi JJ, finally found all the great logs over here adn although I haven't read everything yet, wanted to say hi and second what DNYC said - you made amazing progress in your pics last month!! Even if you don't see it - it is clearly visible!!

I can understand because I don't see my changes either and I am still always focusing on the scale. From your changes I am sure you are gaining muscle as well as your losses.

I am amazed you can teach 4 aerobics classes in a day and still have energy to do anything else, nevermind workout aside from that - OMG!!!

That is hardcore - you rock!!

I am inspired yet again

Keep up the great job and with all your obvious knowledge and dedication I am sure you will find just what you need to get the results you want!!

Hope everything is okay with your lats....see you and the lil' guy tomorrow!! :sun:

Yeah I'm gonna miss ya too GF. *sigh* You've been a true and kind friend while I've been here. It's a pleasure having met you...and having gone to lots of fun places...Restaurants :eat:, FAME 2006!

Shopping, Running and of course the gym :dumbells: and our coffee time!! :winkthumb

We'll be keeping in touch for sure!!

:hellyea:

Thanks for the attending to my injury today JJ,...and for the yummy protein shake!

I soaked in a warm bath for half an hour and let my muscles relax..especially my right side shoulder and lat. Seemed to help ease the pain a bit. I can't raise my arm though w/o feeling jabbing pain in both my lat and delt...and the pain spreads towards my mid back and chest (right pec area). ugh!

I really messed myself up today.

Send me lots of your healing vibes!! :fingersxd

Looking forward to seeing ya tomorrow!! :nosthumbs
