Ok Robyn! What the hell are you seeing that we aren't? You can see your hip bones girl and I certainly would not say that you thick! You, Jenny, and CubanChick are very close. Do you have any idea how many women would die to look that way? I understand that most of us on here are our own worse critic but remember to give yourself a pat on the back as well.
Keep at it woman!

 And as far as my hip bones, I've ALWAYS had bony hips. My high school boyfriend called them my razors because they're so sharp, lol. My fat tends to gravitate towards the back of my legs while everything else gets pretty lean.

I know, I know. I'm pretty hard on myself. I think the main thing about me that makes me look at myself in a bad way is my stretch marks. I don't have a TON, but I know they're there and when I see them it makes the overall picture bad in my eyes. I tried to get them tattooed over a couple months back, but they can't do that.
 I'll have to save up for laser surgery, then I'll look at my body as rockin!!! lol.....

That usually happens when I'm just totally done with the conversation and can't get through to him. Which is exactly what happened last night!

Well I didn't post any diet today. Duh.
Post workout protein shake and 1/2 cup oatmeal 10AM - roast beef on whole wheat 12PM - salad with grilled chicken and almonds 3PM - roast beef on whole wheat (HUNGRY today...) 530PM - 1 tbsp natty peanut butter (man I love that stuff......I could eat the whole jar in one sitting...) 615PM - 1 chicken breast, 1/4 cup grilled peppers and onions left from last night and an entire bag (yes I said entire bag) or steamed brocolli, cauliflower and carrots with salt and pepper. Yes, I'll say it again - I ate the ENTIRE bag. Is that bad???  Right now I'm CRAVING an iced coffee. A big ol fatty one from McDonalds with all the sugary syrup and 15 creams that they put in them. I think if I had a left nut I'd give it to have one right now. Thank goodness it's 830PM and I wouldn't have one this late, because I could seriously get in trouble with that right now.......

So I'm guessing the blowjob bribe didn't work out the way you planned?

Nope, my plan for the BJ has not worked.
I guess I just have to hope he comes around on his own.This mornings workout. Felt damn good!!!!! 1 Set of warm-up on Full Squats with just the bar 3 Sets of 12, 10, 8 Barbell full squats 95lbs, 135lbs, 155lbs 3 Sets of 15, 12, 8 Hamstring Curls 20,20,25lbs - my hamstrings are weak 3 Sets of 12, 8, 8 Heavy Calf raises 120lbs, 130lbs, 130lbs 3 Sets of 8, 8, 8 Heavy Squats on the leg press machine 90lbs+sled, 130lbs+sled, 150lbs+sled --- what does the sled weigh anyway? I'm thinking 60 or 80lbs - should I count that weight???? 2 Sets of 12, 8 Leg extensions - my legs were toast by this point - 10lbs, 20lbs each leg I got really angry this morning. I was about 4 reps in on my second set of squats and the PT in the area close to the squat rack working with some clients let an exercise ball go with rolled over INTO the squat rack and bumped my leg. Didn't knock me off balance or anything, but sure as heck distracted me and made me angry!!!!!

I love reading this journal Robyn, cause I feel like when you work out, you really work out...and as another female that puts her all into her workouts, I can really appreciate it.
Your journal motivates me to get my ass in gear.

Thanks Jenny and Amy! I like reading other people's journals too. It's fun to read what everyone else has going on, and to get ideas about things to do.
Also - out of curiousity - have either of you had "female issues" when you work out? I'm having a weird issue - if either of you have had any issues with your period while dieting/working out - could you send me a PM? I don't wanna put it out here obviously, and I don't want to send you a PM with details you may find offensive, lol.....

WEll....I'm back. I haven't been around here much, other than last week to read a little. I have NOT been working out. My progress has sucked (because I went way the **** off my diet....) and I've gained about 10 pounds. I've developed this lovely little sleep issue over the last few months and it's really gotten the best of me. I stopped working out because I HAVE to work out at 5am (no one to watch the kids any other time) and I have not been sleeping much at all. I cannot go to sleep until 11PM or midnight and then I am up anywhere from 10-15 times a night. I just wake up and lay there staring at my ceiling for anywhere from a couple minutes to a half hour. I normally get into a decent sleep phase around 4AM and then have to drag myself out of bed to get the kids ready for school and myself ready for work at 630am. It freaking blows. I have an appointment to see a doctor on the 2nd of January. Until then I have layed off all caffeine (except my morning cup) and have relied on taking a Tylenol PM every night to help me sleep. It has helped very little, but I am at least at the moment getting a deeper sleep when I do sleep. I was only up 3 times last night between midnight and 3am, so I worked out this morning at 5am. I felt very weak and was a little nervous to lift weights because I felt a little out of it. So, instead I ran a couple miles and did some ab work. About half way through my run I felt good again, but decided to just stick with the running for this morning so as not to push it. Anyone with any kind of sleep disorder can probably attest to how absolutley SH*TTY it makes you feel...... at any rate, I am really hoping that I can sleep a bit again tonight and get back into my routine, because honestly, this blows..............
