Date? Like the date plums?

Rawr. =]

I'll go get photoshop than! XD
Glad to hear you're back, everyone thought you were gone so I got worried... ^^;

Self-confidence alone is a good reason to stick to a routine... must do.

Isn't being alone at a gym sort of creepy? Doesn't anyone even monitor the place?! Hearing the screeching sound of the treadmill and the faint sound of music echoing across the walls would be scarrryyy. Though the gym I go to is always (too) full, so I'm not really used to the idea. I've been there at midnight and sometimes there are still people there. >.>

I use the iPod Shuffle I have whenever I'm doing cardio. Gets me all pumped up! Even if it was possible to go headphoneless with it I'd need them though, since there are always people in there and the gym has its own music blaring. >_> Plus I have tastes I'd rather not have other people hear. *cough*

How's your iPhone?! I've been hesitant on getting one for no reason... I really want that extra push. Then I too can be trendy!

And WHAT slogan?!?!

Shakes are pretty filling. :O if you sit down with a bag of cereal you could end up going through the whole thing by the end of the day and blow up like a balloon by next morning. Delicious, delicious animal feed.

I skipped my exercise yesterday followed by my dad dragging me out to eat. No doubt I screwed something up, ha. The excuse was "lack of time." Yeah right. ;_; But, if you're losing sizes in measurements then you're probably doing it right. Still it's hard to tell. Usually when you lose fat you lose muscle, and when you gain muscle you gain a bit of fat... ahhh. Just don't Shake it up too much or you'll crash and devour your whole house.

Snaaccckkk... need to eat. So sweet.

*snuggles* Hey sweetheart. I love you.

thats not cool. well I hope everything is doing okay we should talk on MSN sometime if I can catch you on

lol, I actually just ate some Special K (with dried strawberries). I don't know how people could survive on that diet though. Replace two meals with Special K... but a serving is so amazingly tiny! And nearly no milk!

Balancing protein and carbs is difficult when you're going to the gym AND trying to lose weight. Some people just want to lose weight, but then other people say you should gain muscle and lose fat later. Right now I'm taking in about 2000 calories a day and aiming for exercise 5 days a week... but that rarely happens. ;_;

Like yesterday I decided it was a good idea to waddle into a Japanese sweets shop and buy some interesting powdered green tea gelatin snack. I have a OBLIGATION to finish it.

Even if you are able to resuscitate me, how do I know that I am not just dreaming? A world where cookies are just "sometimes food" to the Cookie Monster is just too surreal to be real!

Smoothie diet. >___> You're probably craving meat and breads right now. Plus the fiber can make your stomach hurt so bad. I drink protein shakes after workout... and it tastes pretty good and fills you up. Usually it's whey protein, oats, peanuts, and banana blended together. But then there are those times where I just want to chomp down on some delicious cereeaallll even if it's not so good for dieting.

I know it was I stayed up all night. Sorry I haven't been on TFF much been busy.

If there were a shounen anime, I would faint having suffered your merciless huggle and have some realization of what I am lacking and suddenly become a glomp master. But instead I'll just stay unconscious. =P

I had a protein bar! I need to eat some real food though. Like eggs, cottage cheese, and toast with apricot jam~

I can only wonder if it's actually possible to become a glomping slash huggling black belt like yourself. =P The technique necessary to sneak in for a surprise grab and a firm grip to keep the target locked in would take me years and years to master.

And I wish I could have something sweet right now. Diets hurt. =|

Ditto on everything. It'd be great to talk more sometime.

...*glomp* Is that how that works? Hahaha~

"And on a note about it getting harder for people to join - it's not really..."

Just wanted to reply to that paragraph, but didn't want to derail the thread with a post.

I didn't mean anything too deep by that statement... it certainly wasn't intended as ridicule, so I'm sorry if it seemed like that. Personally it makes me weary because I've seen the same thing happen with a lot of things on this board that I won't bother you with, but after many years I've managed to accept this particular nuance.

I'd like to throw out that having experience can be a boon, but at times its a hindrance. It's very easy to get caught up in the flow and stop thinking with a fresh mindset here. It'd be nice to place faith in newer members, since they're necessary for both activity and new ideas.

Ending this silly little rant... I hope we can keep the Council fun and that it doesn't become all business since the goal of it all is quite the former. I think?

Tuck me into bed
