I started my class and have been doing pretty good...yesterday the room was filled with about 10 athletic type men; usually I would be so intimidated I would leave but not this time! I got right on those weight machines, right in front of those dudes, right in front of that GIGANTIC mirror...LOL. Yeah, gonna have to work on that one.


What do you guys think of coconut milk? I found one by Silk that is very good. It has less sugar content than milk but it is cane sugar. Does this matter?


3.6 Turkeys lost.....(love this!)

I was at the gym with my trainer last week, feeling intimidated by all the big buff guys in there. One of them walked up to my trainer, interrupted our session/discussion, and asked where something was, and then tried to start a chat with my trainer about the training he was doing. I could tell Mark was getting annoyed, and I was just standing there being polite, but all of a sudden the hair went up on the back of my neck, and I looked right(up) at that 300 pound, fully muscled guy and said:

"Hey, Brittany over there can help you with your questions. This is my trainer, and you are interrupting the time I have paid for."

I was so PROUD. Mark was grinning like a loon. I swear that guy was pouting as he stalked off looking more than a little like the shape and size of a silverback gorilla.


Congrats on the lose of 3.6 turkeys! That is AMAZING!

I am totally jazzed about the hike tomorrow. The more I hike, the more I want to hike. I even posted a duplicate hike to one I had been on the wait list for, in the hopes that some of the other people on the wait list would join the duplicate hike this Sunday, and I got a group together of 12 people. This one will be an 8 mile hike at the same park as tomorrow's hike, but on a different trail.

I did some lifting, squats, and walking during lunch today, and had plain tuna on a bed of greens. I found some great protein bars that are low carb enough for me, but with enough calories to support my energy levels on my hikes. They actually taste frigging good too...BONUS!

I hope you are all having a wonderful evening
