I hate to say it, but I didn't work out today either. It's been two days in a row of being lazy. I have been having a hard time sleeping at night so I took a tylenol pm and I was so groggy this morning. I had plans to work out later, but if I don't do it first thing in the morning, I never seem to.
Oh well,
Hope everyone else is doing better.
Lizzy
 
Lizzy--don't beat yourself up about not working out, just try again tomorrow--pick one you really like. I noticed on another thread(the ww one) that ww seems to be producing good results for you, so thats a good thing. And yes those tylenol pm's screw me up too. I try not to take them very often, because I feel so rotten the next day.

Lori--2500 cal doesn't sound like you blew it. I mean just think how much you would have eaten if you had really just cut loose. I am convinced that on binge days when I just go crazy, I could easily eat 3500-4000 cal--anyway--just put it in perspective. It sounds like you work out really hard too.

I did PS BBA and 20 min of stationary bike today. Eating pretty well, but it could be cleaner:9

take care,

Hi 3veryone,
Today I did SJP. Really love that workout!! I have a hard time doing planks, my arms get so tired quick. I only do a few seconds of them. Anyway, hope everyone is doing okay.
Lizzy
 
Hey there
Lizzy-I don't have SPJ (yet), but planks kill me too. I had never even heard of planks until I found Cathe. I sort of have a love/hate thing going on with them. I did Step Fit today. My knee felt pretty good, so hopefully I can do more intense stuff on my next rotation.

We have a snowstorm here in Portland (actually freezing rain now) and I am worried that the power is going to go out--just a little aside here.

I am going to check out the ww site--just to see. I have a hard time following diets, so I don't know how well I would do. If my calories go too low I just get sooo hungry, then I overeat. Do you know if they add extra points for nursing?

Still out there Lori?

take care everyone
Maggie
 
Oh Yes, I am still here!!!! Everything has been going well. I am going to do Step heat today. My knees have been bothering me, so I am going to let them take a little rest today, and work my core a little harder. My average calorie intake was 1890 last week. I would like it to be a little lower, but I am still hungry. I haven't weighed myself since I started, so I do not know if I have lost anyw eight or not. The scale and I do not get along!!!! Have a good day everyone.
Lori
 
Hi everyone-

I did MIS today and did 4 big girl pushups, which is a big accomplishment for me. The rest I did on my knees. My weight is down 2 pounds which is rather fast for me, so I wonder if the scale is doing something weird, especially because I have focused so much on strength training this last 2 weeks and lower level cardio. Anyway I am stoked because this is the lowest the scale has registered since my post partum weight loss journey.

Lori--I sympathize with the knee thing. I have an old knee injury that I got when I was 15--hit by a car and tore it all up. It really started to bother me during my 4th pregnancy when due to complications with the baby I let myself get way out of shape. It is recovering, but if I do too much too fast it hurts and swells upx(
Sounds like your eating is great. Don't pay any attention to the scale. The only reason I do is that I am really overweight. Once I am within 15-10 lbs of my goal( which seems like a long ways a way), I will pay less attention. Don't let yourself get too hungry:)

Hi Lizzy-how're you doing?

take care

Hi everyone,
I had a long day at work (8:30am-8:00pm), so I didn't work out today. But tomorow morning I want to do KPC/Legs and Glutes premix. I haven't done any L&G, so I'm looking forward to it. I have work in the morning, so I hope I don't talk myself out of it at 5;30.
Maggie, I'm not really sure of the points if you are nursing. You can go onto weightwatchers.com and go into the message boards. I go there alot for questions and support.
Lori, hope your knee feels better.
Goodnight,
Lizzy
 
Maggie,
I asked on the WW board about breast feeding. You get 10 extra pts. a day if you breast feed exclusivly. If you don't nurse exclusively it is 2 points a feeding, not to exceed 10.
Hope that helps!
Lizzy
 
Hi everyone,

today is my rest day, so I am not going to do anything even though because of an ice storm we are having I am totally stir crazy.

I feel like binging today, but a visit to the boards and some great encouragement is keeping me on track.

Hope you are all doing well.

Maggie:)
 
Well I did KPC/LG premix and enjoyed it. I will try to get up early again tomorow and do something, not sure what I will do though.
Enjoy your rest day!! I have been taking way too many lately. Getting back on track!
Lizzy
 
good for you, Lizzy. I am so jealous--you have BB and on DVD. I am still in the video world and I promised my husband I wouldn't buy any more workouts until this summer. Anyway we are going to buy a DVD player this spring. What kind of player do you have? Does it work well with all of Cathe's workouts?

I plan to do Power Max today.

Maggie
 
Maggie,
If you come across some extra $$, I would definetly go for the BB DVD. It really is awesome. So many workouts. The player that I have is Samsumg 5 disc. Got it at best buy on sale for $100.
Today I am going to do Supersets with the cardio from Body Max.
Have a great day.
Lizzy
 
Really? That seems reasonable for the 5 disk players. It doesn't sound like you have any problems with it either. Thanks for the info. I can't wait to start investing in DVDs.

I did do Power Max yesterday and today I did PS CST and 20 min stationary bike.

My eating was not great this morning. I made a big breakfast for my husband and oldest son who spent an hour or so shoveling snow out of the street and driveway. Then I helped myself. I have a good plan for the rest of the day.

take care
Maggie
 
Did Step Fit today. My arms and shoulders feel really weak from yesterday's workout. My eating has been pretty good for a sunday--usually I eat way too much right after church because I don't eat a good breakfast before due to time constraints.

hope you are doing well
Maggie:)
 
Didn't have a chance to work out today, but tomorow I will do Bodymax. I bought pringles today and that was a huge mistake. I was so hungry, I caved in.
Have a good night,
Lizzy
 
Mmmmmm Pringles....Well, don't give into guilt, I think that only makes things worse--then I feel like eating more because I feel like I've blown it.

Today I did PS BBA and 20 min on the stationary bike. Tomorrow I will weigh myself:eek:.

take care,
Maggie
