Lots of red in there. Remember he won't kill you, just nag you to death. I think, and I do hate to say this in case I inflate his ego too much, that you are in very good hands with Master Yoda. I love the pink shoes idea, but be warned this can back fire. I had an ex who used to maliciously buy me something in pink every time I upset him. I would then have to wear said pink item. It becomes a serious punishment after a while.

How are you doing on the eating front atm?

LOL!!!
Craig stares and frowns, that is so much more effective than nagging...
But I have to admit that you're right, I'm in very good hands with Scrooge here

I'll risk and wear the pink trainers with flowers.
After all, if he wants to be seen with a tenerona, it's his problem.
Wondering what a tenerona is huh? wonder no more:

GymBunny wrote:How are you doing on the eating front atm?

Quite well I'd say, although every now and then I forget my lunchbox, or have an unexpected long day and so on...
Now that I feel hungry again, of course Master Yoda wants to reduce the food intake.
It's impossible to make this man happy!

@pingu: loads of red on Friday, nothing at all on Saturday, and I didn't like it at all
and you're doing ways more than me anyway on loads of stuff young lady!

BTW tomorrow's legs day... we'll see what I'll sort out

Robisco wrote:just saw the last leg workout

I was about to say that my legs are very strong because of 3 years of figure skating as a kid, but actually they improved a lot since I have started kicking Master Yoda's annoyingly perfect ass

I wanted to write down the last 3 sessions, but can't find my journal

I have eventually got hold of my journal yay!
The problem being that I haven't updated this one for ages, so I'll just write down the last 3 sessions

PS should be 4 really, but last week we skipped one... my fault of course!

Lolllll! I particularly like the "craig wants to kill my legs."

Cat you're doing great and the CGBP is particularly impressive. Don't worry if you don't always get all the training sessions you planned done, there is this thing called life that sometimes gets in the way.

How are you doing with the eating ATM? Better? Remembering to eat? Try and update your training journal as you go so it becomes habit.

GymBunny wrote:Lolllll! I particularly like the "craig wants to kill my legs."

only because he's not trying to kill yours!
They still feel like jelly now, I am seriously considering jumping off the stairs rather than going down every time I have to (about every 15 mins)!

I don't worry, somebody else does!
Somebody too big to discuss with (i.e. to punch in the face), and with power over what I can or cannot eat

Much better, I have developed hunger!
So much so that Master Yoda has immediatly decided to cut, and if he cuts I cut
I have only skipped a few meals lately, all because of unforeseeable overtime at work, I have become real good at this game!

For Master Yoda's birthday I think he needs a t-shirt saying "the boss, I am"

GymBunny wrote:For Master Yoda's birthday I think he needs a t-shirt saying "the boss, I am"

ROTFLMAO!
My birthday comes before his, if he buys me something nice I might get him a custom-made t-shirt and boxers LOL!
(he'd kill me for that, I always bought co-ordinate boxers, socks and t-shirt for my allegedly very gay ex!)

OK, OK I'm lazy and my journal has a few holes... Never mind, here's all of last week and today... what a good girl I am!

Well, I managed to lose my journal
Of course, I was too lazy to copy it here on a regular basis, so, unless it returns from the land of the mismatched socks (it MUST be in the living room after all!), I'll have to do without.
Training has been a tad irregular in the past few weeks, for health and work problems, but I managed to squeeze in 3 sessions nearly every week.
The weights are still going up, and even Craig doesn't complain that much anymore!
I guess that I will start a new journal when I get over the loss of the first one, and I also guess that my entries here will be a bit more regular, just in case, so watch this space

Well done on the weights increase...but no way do I believe Craig complains less.
