August

Cathlete
Hellooo!

Sorry I couldn't drop by yesterday. Not that it had to do with Mr. Choco Raisin. I don't hink he would never chance coming out, particularly with it being so close to Valentine's Day. Not that anyone would touch him with a ten foot pole.

So yesterday I had a lunch meeting...at a ribs place. There was just no getting out of it. I had ribs. I haven't had ribs in a loooooooooooong time. I'm really not much of a meat eater, so having a meal with big nasty bones attached to it isn't exactly appealing. Though I must say it was quite tasty LOL. I spent most of the time ignoring what people were discussing because I was totally intent on slicing off as much fat from the meat as possible. You'd think a person could cut fat off meat and do a simple thing like listen to the conversation taking place, rather than have an insignificant conversation in their head like "ooh, I see some more marbly fat stuff in this piece...lesse, if I cut away here, then I should be able to scrape most of it out...oh yeah. That's good. There we go."

Anyway, yesterday was Christi's Humble Beginnings 7002 step section with abs. And today was Slow & Heavy Chest and Back.

And you know what? I'm totally back into my lifting mood. I came to Hatesville loving lifting and hating cardio, then I found Christi and started loving cardio and going less for lifting....well, I have come full circle, girls. Bring me my weights!! I guess that means I'll be back to my BFFM again in a few months or so LOL. Or not.

So anyway, this week is another S&H week with Christi to round out my cardio stuff.



Michele - So were you able to visit with the in laws? How is your MIL doing, by the way?...Chocolate chestnut butter. OMG. That sounds like he!! and I want some right NOW!!...I'm with you on the Rule! And it seems to have taken immediate action! Woo hoo!

Robin - What a worry that must be about Greyor. Thank goodness they know what the problem is and are able to go right away to treat it. I'll be sending good vibes for a quick full recovery....What Mariah suggested about tightening and releasing muscles is a very one. This is actually a relaxation technique and will help to relax the entire body. Start with your toes and make a conscious effort to tighten the muscles for a few seconds, and then release. Move to your calves, and then your thighs and so on. This conscious tightening and releasing of muscles is really a wonderful thing for your body and mind. Not to sound too froo froo or anything.

Arista - So Ryan doesn't like sweets? VD is hard if you don't like sweets (or I guess it's also true that VD is hard if you DO like sweets LOL). It's not like you can get him a really nice bag of potato chips or anything, right? Gourmet Pringles? Heh. How about some kind of cool wood or material he could use for his bird houses?...I think your plan to make an effort to think positively about your body image is a really good one. In BFFM, it says that if you begin to have any negative thoughts, you literally tell yourself, "Next!" Filling yourself with the positive will really help you to see it and believe it. Not to sound too froo froo or anything.

Jen - So true that having a chef as a husband would make for some really unwanted necessary extra cardio sessions.....Doubled over in pain from THAT. OMG, I cannot imagine how awful that must have been. How did you figure out the hot water method? Was that by chance or did someone teach you that?

Mariah - Thanks for helping with the unknown song! I see that Terri was able to decipher a good chunk of lyric and that she posted them. But you didn't recognize the song? Oh wait, it's called Realize. Maybe I'll search a bit, too...I thought what you wrote referring to your body as "what it can be" was really interesting and insightful. Aiming to be your personal best body is really the logical way to go....Congratulations on your granddaughter!! That's wonderful news. You must be so excited to see her! Will there be a chance soon for you to visit?

Terri - LMAO! Do you like me check yes or no. That is really cute, OMG. I'm actually kind of relieved to hear that kids these days still use that. I guess your DH's cards are a bit more sophisticated and romantic! Though check yes or no is really clear and to the point!

Dana - You have a brick oven! Wow! My imagination is telling me this thing is huge - where on earth do you put something like that?

Diane - That's an uncomfortable situation for you and your sister about the baby, what with her possible marriage problems because of a baby. I hope she'll be able to have a positive reaction for your wonderful news.


All right, I'm finished with my smoothie and am now totally freezing my butt off. So off I go to my work room and heater. :D

Later!
 
August - WTH is wrong with you??? I don't have a brick oven. Where would I put one? What would I do with it???? I said, I BOUGHT THE LEAN CUISINE BRICK OVEN MUSHROOM PIZZA. Girl what are we going to do with you???? Ay, ay, ay!!!!! You're lucky I luv ya!!!! I remember last year when you were in the lifting zone. Hopefully you'll find a happy-medium with Christi & weights.

Robin - how is Greyor? I've been thinking of you guys. I hope the snow doesn't complicate your travels to the hospital.

Jen - did you get the bad weather? I didn't eat the pizza yet. Today I brought the LC panini (chicken/spinach). I've had that one before and it is really good. Have you tried it?

Right now I don't have a lot of time so I will talk to everyone else during my lunch.

I didn't workout again last night. I got home from work and DH was sick. He was actually sick from 4:00am-ish yesterday and went to the dr. He has gout in his foot. So I got in the door and he sent me back out to Wal-Mart to buy everything cherry that I could. He read that cherries were a natural remedy for gout. Wal-Mart should be ashamed of the cherries they had in the produce section. They were $4.98/lb and they were dried and yucky looking. Gross! I ended up getting him cherry juicy-juice, dried cherries and frozen cherries.

It is snowing like mad here. School is letting out at 1:30 and we may get up to 20inches!! If that is the case, I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow.

OK, hi to everyone and I"ll BBL.
 
Hi August, Dana, and all!

Oh boy, we have some seriously icky weather happening!! I'm not sure what we'll end up with -- we live kind of right on the border where north of us is expecting a blizzard and south is getting 3-6 inches of snow and freezing rain with ice accumulating. It looks like we're leaning toward the icy conditions, but we did get about 2 or 3 inches of snow last night.

Anyway, DH is home this morning and he needs the computer so I can't play. I just wanted to poke my head in for a minute to let you all know I love ya:* :* .

I'll try to check back later. Robin, I'm still praying for Greyor.
 
LMAO LMAO LMAO!!!!

OoooOOoOoooooOOooh! A brick oven PIZZA! Now THAT makes more sense. I was thinking, woman, where in the world do you put a brick oven in your kitchen? America has huge kitchens! Wow! And I can only store one measely pot! LMAO.

I uh, hope the pizza was good. :p

That sucks about your DH and gout. I know three men who have gout, and they are not at the age the average gout-getter usually is. It's wacky that it goes to the foot, eh? And I know it's very, very painful. I hope he gets better.

Michele - Blizzard! Have you ever had a Blizzard from Dairy Queen? Oh wait, that's off the subject. Stay safe and warm inside!

:*
 
I haven't read anything above so I apologize, will do that this evening.

I had to vent though, it took me an hour to shovel myself out of my driveway this morning- I have a 4 wheel drive Jeep & there is NO WAY I could have made it out, it is drifting so bad that you can see grass in parts of my yard & then other parts are like 6 inches deep. By the time I got to the end of my driveway back up by the garage was already drifting again.

We are under A BLIZZARD WARNING until midnight & my work didn't close or even have delayed opening. I told my boss that if they don't send us home early I am leaving at 2 & taking 2 hours time off. I will have to park in the road, go in to change, shovel the driveway again before I'll be able to get back in.

Tonight's w/o on top of the 2 hours of shoveling is B&G-was going to do Leg Blast Premix but depends on how exhausted I am by then, I may just do the original version as I think it is much easier than the Leg Blast Premix.

Okay, sorry to be so self absorbed & I hope everyone else that is having this weather is safe. Once I am back home, shoveled in, and workout done, I'll be back on-line & not be so self absorbed.
 
Jen - That is horrible that your work would not let you off or at least start late. When we had below freezing conditions a couple weeks ago, the whole city shut down because we are not used to that type of thing.

August - I absolutely can't stand meat on the bone, but ribs are yummy. I actually have someone take it off for me (like DH) if I ever were to have one. I was once at a work event where they had some and a co-worker (male) remembered that I don't eat meat off the bone and sliced it off for me as a joke. Very embarrassing in front of my bosses. It was like I was a child.

Michele - How was the visit with the ILs? Is your MIL doing better? I bet you are glad to have DH home today, even though he is hogging the computer. :)

Dana - Cracking up about the brick oven! I hope your DH feels better soon.

Well, I told my sister last night and she seemed happy for me. So now the whole family knows. Now I am scared something bad is going to happen. I don't have another appt for 3 weeks, which seems like forever! I am feeling a little bit better today, not as queasy as yesterday.
 
The brick oven incident really cracked me up!! Thanks for a good laugh guys. Actually, I have seen brick ovens in people's homes before (on TV... like I'd ever have one) and they don't take up a ton of space. They're just like a small fireplace and you slide the food in. And it always comes out looking so yummmy!!!!

Mmmm, ribs. How the heck did you get the fat off the ribs? Its all marbled in there... oh well, you get an A for effort August!!

Man, that sucks about your crummy weather over there guys! Jen, I hear you on the 4-wheel drive. Earlier this winter, the northwest was in the same situation you guys are in and we had SO much snow. I couldn't get out of or into the driveway. And I have 4wd too. Definitely a good workout though (shoveling snow). And you can't beat the excuse to leave work early. }(

I went for a half hour walk yesterday with the girls (dogs) and had all the intention in the world to finish the second half of High Step Training... but I started working on this project for work, and then I did the dishes (the kitchen counter is still there... its amazing!!), and then I made a nice chicken fettucine alfredo dinner for Ryan and I. So today I WILL finish High Step Training today and get the dogs out for a walk.

No, actually Ryan loves chocolate August. But, its such a typical gift that I really want to do something different for him. I think I might buy him some sexy lingerie (for me). In the six years we've been together, I've never done that. I think I've always been waiting for my body to be a little smaller.... but screw that! }( And I actually did end up buying him some chocolate (from the camp fire girls... they were so cute!)

Diane - don't worry. Everything will work out. And stop working so hard. You're pregnant now... take a break (and a nap at your desk if you want!)! I'm glad your sister took the news well. That could've been really uncomfortable.

Michele - Keep us posted on Greyor. And enjoy a lazy day if you can! Do something special for yourself. You deserve it.

Dana - I don't know what gout is, but it doesn't sound like any fun. I hope he feels better really soon. 20 inches of snow?? dang. Its fun for the kids though, I bet.

Alright, take care everyone. I'll BBL. I got up late this morning and really need to get my A** in gear. :*
 
Diane, I got a Precor and it was worth every penny. I love my elliptical -- it gives me a great workout. I highly recommend Cardio Coach and iTrain iClimb workouts to go with it:D. Here's a couple of links:

This is the model I got - http://www.precor.com/cons/en/efx/523/

Check here for independent reviews - http://www.ellipticaltrainers.com/

Please excuse me while I read the posts ^^^ there. I'll be back in a sec.


Oh crap, DH needs the computer again! I'll BBL if possible. It's really nasty outside and we've been warned to prepare for possible power outages due to the ice. We've had nothing but freezing rain and sleet for hours now and it's very slick and hazardous outside. I'm thankful we have a wood burning fireplace and a small gas burner for cooking. As soon as I heard the weather report yesterday I went to the store and stocked up on all the essentials, so I'm good to go for a couple of days at least. Ciao for now -- I'll BB as soon as DH relinquishes the computer.

Jen, BE CAREFUL going home!!!
 
Still haven't read above, I am home now & "safe". Spent another hour shoveling, it was worse now than it was this morning. I have stacks of snow like 6 feet high from me shoveling so much! I am hoping that by doing it again now though that I'll be able to keep it down enough that I will be able to shovel myself out tomorrow... but we'll see. It is supposed to keep up like this until midnight.

Well, my upper body is exhausted & my back hurts so I think I will just do the regular version of B&G instead of leg blast premix. Heading down to do that now, then take a LONG HOT shower and then I will be back to read above & stop being self absorbed!
 
Hi to all. I haven't done much but skim the above and don't have much time to post if I want to fit a workout in. It's snowing here too and we're to get 10-16 inches over night. My supervisor said not to worry about getting into work early if it's too nasty out.

Greyor is holding his own. He's still heavily sedated and on a respirator, but all the doctors say he'll have a full recovery. My daughter and her boyfriend are driving down to the hospital tonight to see him. I hope they have enough sense to stay down there if the weather is as bad as predicted.

Now I have to figure out what workout to do. Do I pick up in the rotation where I left off, or do I skip the ones I missed and jump in on today's workout? My poor brain is too fried to figure it out. Maybe I'll just do whatever falls off the shelf when I open the closet door. If nothing falls, does that mean I don't have to workout?
 
Wow, in the land of the frozen tundra, it's sunny and 16 degrees! A little windy but nothing like you poor souls south of me. It may hit 30 by Sunday - YEAH!

Jen - That shoveling snow sucks! My paternal grandfather died while he was shoveling snow back in Jan. '86. His funeral was the same day as the Space Shuttle explosion. Never will forget it. I must add that you won't die shoveling but it can be dangerous for the elderly. Why didn't your neighbor come over and be neighborly and shovel you out? You're in the best spot - HOME!

Robin: Good news about Greyor. My brother just called and told me that my newphew who will be 2 in March has pneumonia. Poor guy. I hate it when kids are sick.

August: The brick oven - LMAO!! BTW, I'm stoking my oven right now. I went out into the woods, chopped down a couple of trees and have a roaring fire so I can cook dinner tonight - LMAO!! I love it!

I didn't work out today because I had a very early doc. appointment for my son. Tomorrow, I'll probably do KPC. I ordered Powerstrike 1 & 2 even though I'm not thrilled with the VHS format.

Arista: Your alfredo sounds delicious. DH took the initative to take care of dinner tomorrow night. We're having Papa Murphy's pizza! Is that creative or what? I'm thrilled I don't have to cook. It will be our 15 year anniversary in October and we'll do something special then. Kind of sad that we only do something "special" once a year, but that's not really true. We'll have our date nights every now and again. But when it's so cold during the winters, we usually stay in. Plus, we have 3 kids and our life is usually centered around them.

I've been working on updating my website and my brain is just about fried. I don't think I have any more creativity left inside.

Terri
 
More prayers for Greyor

uh oh everything i did today took longer then i planned and now my cousin arriving for dinner
afraid im gonna do a short version of an exersize tonite
see you later
 
Hello fellow haters... I am one exhausted hater. My back hurts really bad too from all the shoveling. :-( I shoveled for an hour to get out this morning & then coming back home from work I had to shovel for another hour & now since 2:30, 2 hours ago, you can't even really tell I shoveled the whole driveway again! x( I am so frustrated with this weather. I did get B&G in though and now am showered and home so that is good. They are calling for 15 inches total by midnight but what is really bad is that the wind gusts are like 25-35mph and my driveway drifts so bad. If it looks like it did when I got home from work in the morning I will stay home or go in late. That is just crazy!

Okay enough about me & thank you all for listening!

August- I don't like ribs either... well, I don't hate them but I would only eat them if I had no other choice. Glad to see you are back to "hating" cardio w/ the rest of us! ;) Are you sure it wasn't Mr. Choco Raisins fault you weren't around yesterday, huh, are ya? A guy at work told me about the hot water method, he was telling a story about his son & how he knows when he hasn't been able to "go" that he needs to get hot water..I was like, what? And it all began there!

Dana-Yep, bad weather has arrived. How about you? Are staying safe & warm? I am with you on the taking a vacation day tomorrow if it does what they are calling for & my work doesn't close, that is just stupid to travel in this stuff! Yes, I have tried those panini sand. also & they are good! I was shocked at how good they are...lean cuisine is making some good products now.

Michele- So, how is your weather? This is one widespread storm if I've ever seen one...geesh!

Diane-Yeah, Houston I can see shutting down with an inch of snow! If you aren't used to the stuff it makes life difficult. I have 4 wheel drive so if it is only snow & not ice I feel pretty safe driving but not when it is drifting like it is here now & calling for 15 inches of the stuff... I really hope we are shut down tomorrow...I don't think I have the energy to do today all over again! I am really glad your sister is happy for you & hopefully the 3 weeks will fly by for you!

Arista- You are telling me, 2 hours of shoveling snow & B&G w/o today, if I did that every day I would be one in shape girl! :) Did you get High Step training done today?

Robin- I am still saying prayers for Greyor. Please keep us posted on his status. You should take the day off...mental stress is so much more draining on the body than physical stress is. You really need to take it easy & at least do easier workouts until life has calmed back down a little. You don't want to get sick. Keep us posted on your weather, if you are to get what we are getting here today, you will probably be home from work tomorrow, it is nasty!

Terri- I am tired...the neighbor that has the 4 wheeler w/ the plow on it doesn't look like he has stepped foot out of his house today. Actually I don't think anybody on my road (which is a lot of houses, u shaped road) has left except me & the guy right across from me & I was already 3/4 done with my driveway this morning before he even started his. Most everywhere here shut down today except my work, even my coffee place was closed, I was so looking forward to that cup of coffee after shoveling for an hour too! YIPPEE, you ordered Powerstrike, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist!

Mariah- Hope you were able to fit a small w/o in!


I am going to go warm up some water & have me a Kaluha & diet hot chocolate! BBL!
 
Hey since we are all venting today, may I have a turn? I know that Michele has given us rules - no complaining about ourselves but I am literally at the end of my rope. Once again, no workout. DH is out in the garage as usual and I can't leave the kiddos up here alone while I go down the basement to workout. So I"m here, frustrated with myself and ready to just call it quits. I have 46lbs to lose and my diet sucks and I'm not getting any exercise. Summer will be here before you know it and I will probably do the same thing I did last summer. Stay home and go nowhere b/c I am too embarrassed to go out in public. I don't even think I wore shorts last summer and I didn't even go in our pool b/c I am way too fat for a bathing suit. I told my son I would lose weight so I could take him to a water park this summer and as of now, I doubt he will be going. I know I should stop being so negative but it is so hard. It is I could go on and on, but I will shut up for now. Both of my kids are driving me nuts. One is in the living room screaming about who knows what and the other is laying here on the floor screaming. I cannot take it! I think once I get off the computer I am going to bed (even though it is only 7:25).

Jen - I'm glad that you made it home safe. Do you have a long commute to work? It sounds like your weather is only going to get worse. I'd stay home if I were you.

Robin - the roads here are horrible. Is Greyor at GMC? I hope that Emily and her boyfriend can stay in the room with Greyor tonight. I can't imagine that they would make them leave and drive in this stuff.

Michele - an ice storm? I hope that your DH doesn't have to work or go anywhere.

Diane - I'm glad that you are feeling better. That is good news that your sister took your news well. You talk about your pregnancy all you want, ya here? It is such an exciting time for you and we all love hearing about it.

August - you are nuts!!!! There is no way that I could fit a brick oven in my kitchen and with my boys, who knows what would end up in it if I did. I don't like ribs either. I couldn't tell you the last time I even ate any. Like Diane, I'm not big on eating meat off the bone and ribs are so darn greasy. Did you get sick after eating them? I know that your system didn't agree when you had to eat the greasy stuff last week. Are you sure your friends are really your friends???LOL They are taking you to places where you don't normally eat. Next thing you know, you'll be telling us that you ate sticky rice again? Although that does sound good.

The weather here is so bad. It is cold and windy and snowing. The roads were getting really bad on my way home. When I have to go down that big hill I usually put it in Drive 2 and coast down. The car behind me was going down sideways. Thank God nobody was in the other lane. Our office is closed tomorrow but we were told we have to use a vacation day. My boss gave me some work to do at home so I don't have to use a vacation day. That will depend on how my kids behave. I can never get anything done.

Hi Arista, Mariah and Terry. Well, I'm off to bed. I need to put this insane day to an end. Talk to you all tomorrow. :)
 
Well, I had a nice long post with personal comments to everyone, but somehow I lost it. I'll try again. Forgive me if I forget someone.

Dana, hugs. I wish I could help. Yes, Greyor is at GMC. Emily and Jay just called and are on their way home. At least there are no major hills. Lucky you don't have to worry about driving in to work tomarrow.

August, LOL about your fatty ribs. Well, not YOUR ribs. The rule is no bad things said about ourselves. Does that mean I can say bad things about you or any of the others? I like my ribs with so much sauce you can't see the fat.

Jen, I knew those arms of yours weren't due to lifing alone. It's all that shoveling. You should make a workout DVD. Shoveling With Jen. I bet August could come up with a catchy title.

Diane, I'm glad your sister took the news well. Try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Michele, I'm glad your DH could work from home. Will he stay home again tomarrow? Thanks for all your prayers. They work. The doctors all say Greyor will be fine. He just needs lots of support now. His pediatrician said if we hadn't taken him to the ER when we did, he'd have died. Scary.

Arista, I like the idea of the sexy under guchies for Ryan's VD present. My DH would love a gift like that. With all that's going on with Greyor, the washer, DH's car, etc,etc, I haven't even had time to get him a card.

I decided to stick to the rotation and did Body Max. It felt better then I thought it would.

Sorry if I missed anything important. My brain is really mushy tonight. I think it's soon time to crawl up to bed with a silly book. Night all.
 
Dana- {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} to you. I am so sorry you are having a rough time... it really does stink doesn't it? I have always had to really watch my weight and at times it just seems to not be worth it. Why can some people never workout, eat what they want, and still not be overweight? Yeah, they may not be "healthy" but still aren't overweight. Then there are people like us who try to eat decent, workout as much as they can, and still GAIN weight!?!?!

Please know that you aren't alone in this battle, if I had kids, and a husband I would have a MUCH harder time eating healthy & finding time to w/o... maybe that is why I like being single so much... light bulb! ;) Anyway, as I said-living alone, no husband, no kids, and only a job for me, and it is still hard. I have a heads up on you though b/c I can just not buy stuff at the store so it isn't here, when you have a DH or SO, like I did living with me for 3 years, they want that crap in the house & it is too much to avoid it all the time.

Just take some deep breaths & know that we are all here for you & anytime you need some encourgement or someone to just "vent to" you can always e-mail me! I will listen! Try not to be too hard on yourself but I know that is WAY easier said than done & I still haven't figured out how to do that.

I am glad you can stay home tomorrow & just remember kids are kids, they don't understand... I'm trying to tell myself that about the cats too! Storm is so mad she can't go outside so she won't stop "crying" & following me room to room! x( You will get what work you can done & the rest can wait... it is only work, nobody will die if it doesn't get done, right?!?

I only live like 1 mile from my work so if my driveway isn't drifted shut & they don't close our office I'll be able to make it in, just may be a little later than today (I was there at 8)if I have to shovel my way out again. My back hurts so bad after doing it twice today, no way am I getting out there at 6:45 like I did this morning to shovel it again! A ton of people that work with me live like 30-45 miles away though so I am praying they close, after today I think they realized they shouldn't have opened-it was a white out, you couldn't see anything in front of you.

I am glad you are home safe and know I am thinking of you and sending good vibes your way! :)
 
Don't give up Dana!! You can do this. You have four months until summer! That's the perfect amount of time to lose the weight. Maybe you could find a different way to exercise for when your hubby's out of the house? I know its tough. But we're here to keep you on track. And you better stop talking negatively about yourself, or I'll, I'll... send Mr. Choco Raisin after you!! (He and i are tight)

And one other thing Miss Dana, even if you don't lose all the weight by summertime, you're still a hot mama who has every right to put on a bathing suit and strut! So no more talk of this. No, I don't want to hear another negative word.

Jen - Whoo! You got a bazillion hours of working out in today! You deserve two hot chocolates tonight! I'm proud to report that I DID get a workout in today. No, I didn't finish High Step Training... but I did run a solid three miles! I was so stoked by the time I got home. I've decided I really like running. Its very free-ing. And the dogs love it too. I really do need to focus on doing some weight training throughout the week though. Probably on nights when the fiance works.

I hate to report this... but It was almost 50 degrees here today and all of our snow is gone. That made running a lot easier too. Enjoy the wintry days though, you midwest/Eastern girls, they'll be gone soon and it will be HOT.

Terri - Papa Murphy's huh? Don't get too glamorous on us now! :) I hear you about the date-nights though. It is so nice just not to cook! I don't know how you manage date-nights with 3 kids! You go girl.

I'm so glad to hear Greyor is doing better. Between the weather and everything else.. you've got your hands full!

Robin, Michele, Mariah, Diane, August, and anyone else I've missed: Good night! I have homework piling up and I'd better get to it. Hope you all have Happy V-days. :*
 
Jen
I have discovered that i am a compulsive eater and a binge eater I have gained weight and fat in the last few years
someone on here once asked me what kind of meetings i go to I am also AA so i go to either AA meetings or OA meetings.. I try to follow the plan of eating i dont snack i dont do desserts I have fallen off the eating wagon 2 times in the last 3 months i have not lost a pound i feel bloated most of the time i get email from others who have joined OA the same time as me they lost 30 lbs 35 lbs 12 lbs
I get very frustrated and yet i know if i go back to my binging ill get fatter and sick. I want to just say the hell with it sometimes, but at least my brain has accepted that saying the hell with it wont let me lose weight at least this way i have a chance of getting my eating addiction under control and eventually the weight will come off. I do live alone and believe me the loneliness sometimes can be avoided by food. And who wants to cook a nice meal and then sit and eat it yourself. So the grass is always greener
So we come to a place like this and we can vent and we can encourage each other.. and we can applaude when one of us reaches a goal

I really didnt want to do any exersize today but i told myself i dont want to start sidestepping my commitments and then go to the group and say i didnt get to do anything
so i did the minimum but i feel good that i committed

And... holy moley if i had to shovel snow id say that was my cardio and my weights for the day
