Getting Out of the Rut - Sunday

[sammy123]

It's 3pm and I don't see a thread for today so I'll start.

Is everybody officially out of their rut? I don't know... I think I still need you guys for a while!

Today is an hour walk day. I still have a bad headache and don't want to push myself too much. I promise to walk fast though.

I'll check in later and hope to see ya'll then.

Hi Sammy!

I am definitely not out of my rut. In fact, I seem to have dug it a little deeper lately. So busy these days I'm having trouble fitting workouts in. I am trying to do a lot of walking, so hopefully not all is lost. And don't even ask about my eating. Nothing good to report there either.

Hopefully I'll find some time this week, but it will be two weeks before I really have any time to myself again.

Good luck to everyone else!

Boy, I just keep digging the rut deaper. Yesterday I did nothing ! AND my husband wanted to go see a movie so we went out and I had a ton of popcorn !

Today I rode my motorcycle for the 1st time since last fall. I then played 3 sets of tennis with a friends that I had not seen in over a year.

But I'm now going to go out to dinner and use all the calories I burned up on some fattening meal. My bad.

Robin is on a great vacation. I hope she has a fun time. And others have been ill.

Oh... I took the dog outside yesterday and saw this reflection on the pavement of this huge bird and looked up to see a red hawk. It circled my dog 3 times ! My dog is 60# but must have looked like a rabbit to him. Scared me a bit.

Have a great Sunday everyone - even if you don't work out

I think I was out of my rut but I may be finding another one! I am seriously irritated with my lack of weight loss this week. I had a 1000 calorie deficit everyday (still eating 1600 - 1900 calories) and gained 1.4 lbs! Seriously?! I know weight loss is not linear but could it be at least a little reasonable?!

I also did something silly to my knee, I have no idea what. I was walking up the stairs at work on Friday and had a very sharp pain that did not go away. So I've had to really modify my workouts the past couple of days. I am not sure what to do with the knee...it is feeling much better but I have no idea what caused the issue. I am not sure if I should go see a doctor about it or not. Grrr, I hate this injury stuff. I want to be fit, how can I be fit if I keep hurting myself?!

I walked for awhile yesterday, it was so nice outside. Nice being sunny and 45 degrees, lol! Sounds like others are enjoying some walks as well.

Fiddy - I used to ride a motorcycle. I still can but I sold my bike a couple of years ago. My husband got his motorcycle first, I really was not happy about it. He wanted me to ride with him but everytime I got on the back of his bike I would be panicked the whole time. I could not relax. So I decided to take lessons, learn to operate my own bike and see if that helped. I was more comfortable on my own bike but I never fully relaxed. I was always afraid I was going to miss a turn and end up in a ditch or that I was going to be hit by some motorist not paying attention. It was nerve wracking! I finally sold it for financial reasons. My husband really wants me to get another one so we can ride together again, but I'm not so sure ;-)

Have a great night everyone!

I am definitely no where close to being out of my rut!!!! Takes what..at least 21 days to form a new habit?

Well I had to face the closet this morning and well...it wasn't pretty. I THINK my pants were a little closer to getting button, but they sure didn't fit yet! Really made me wonder when in the h**l I let myself get like this. It is so not me!

Eating today wasn't great because I ate the wrong things. The good news is instead of throwing in towel and I having a free for all, I log the food in my journal added up my calories and said there you go that's your food for the day. Think I may have manage a slight calorie deficit.

Lisa - Sorry about your knee! Being sidelined by injuries is the pits. Trust me I know as I sit hear typing with one hand in a brace.

ImFiddy - All that tennis counts! Cool and scary about the hawk!

Jodi - The walking counts too! How long to the event and things slow down?

Sammy - Hope your headache is gone and you got the walk in!
