Hi Everyone,

I am up bright and early again today.I was suppose to work tonight but one of my co-workers called last night and she was out on a stagette party and wanted to know if I would work the day shift and she would work the night shift.I said I would b/c if I didn't ,I would have 3 night shifts in a row,which is pretty hard on the body.This is a newer job for me and I am pretty easy to get along with but I hope when I need a favor everyone else is as easy going as I am.....or I won't be as easy going.There is nothing worse then doing favors for people and no one doing on in return.

The scale hasn't budged for me.And you know what? I really didn't ezpect it to.I came up with this check in and I didn't even really put my all into it.I knew this before I went to bed last night so I got my snacks ready for today, that way I will be eating healthy all day.
I am going to do a 30 min run and GS Chest and Tri now.I can only imagine how hungry I am going to be later.x( I am also going to try and squeeze abs in.I would like to do something else when I get off of work tonight but we will see.And another thing...no eating after 7.I find it so hard not to pick after dinner and half of the time, I am not even hungry!

Good Morning Lori!
Glad you got the day shift today. You're a good person for switching. I know it stinks when you do favors for people and they don't want to do anything in return. If that does happen, then next time don't do it if you don't feel like it, but remember that you are a better person because you do things out of the goodness of your heart. That's how you sound to me.

Don't worry about the scale. This is a brand new week so start fresh. Sounds like you've got a good plan for today with the snacks. You are in charge of your body Sweetie. Let it know that. And you look GREAT in your pics! Don't be so hard on yourself!

I try not to eat 3 hours before bed too. Like you I just feel like "picking" and I'm not even hungry. If I am hungry tho I have turkey breast or a hardboiled egg white or 2. Also what helps me is I try not to eat any "bad" carbs after 3pm. If I do they're complex.

Have you taked to SaraImaFitnessFreak about your calorie needs? She helped me and a BUNCH of other ladies find out how many we need to lose weight but stay healthy. And it Definately works!:7 You should think about it. I finally talked Wendy into it.

I'm off to get a coffee.
Have a great day.
Hello all who follow! Happy Sunday!

Hi Kali,

I had a good workout today.Not sure if it was b/c it was on the wee hours of the morning or I am losing my strength, but those weight felt awful heavy and I had to go down in weight.I haven't been working out with weights much lately so I could easily be losing but it won't take long to get back to where I was.
I know I am to hard on myself and I compare myself to others.I just know with all the working out I do, if I could just listen to my body a bit more, I wouldn't eat nearly as much.I eat out of boredom and b/c I love sweets.I don't even give myself a chance to crave anything anymore.And I eat alot of bad carbs.Its only a matter of getting use to it again and everything would be o.k.
Anyway...must run.Work on a sunday is soooooooooooo boring!

Good Morning.

Lori-I feel for you. I was exercising 6 days a week and GAINING weight! I suspect it's because I was WAAAAY under my caloric needs for a while and then when I started eating I would eat lots of crap! I managed to GAIN BACK 8 pounds after I lost a bunch of pregnancy weight! x( So Kali talked me into pm'ing Sarah and now I am in control. I saw a 3 pound weight loss the first week and on Tuesday I weigh in for my second week. I have the Omron fat analyzer and my body fat is plummetting!!! I LOVE IT! :) Consider pm'ing her like Kali said. She is a sweetie and would be more than happy to help you out!:)

Kali-Hey there girl! Enjoy that java! I'm sittin' here with a cup myself! :9
 
Morning!
Well, I sabotaged my diet again last night! Went to a friends house and had cheese, crackers, wine, chicken and beef shiskabob, grilled potatoes, and a small brownie sundae (yes, you read that right - BROWNIE SUNDAE!) lol, I feel like I'm at Confession :+ "forgive me Cathieites, for I have sinned, it's been 24 hours since my last confession. I ate 3000 calories yesterday, and enjoyed it..." It's so hard to avoid food in social situations isn't it? At least I ate well in the beginning of the day, did HSC, cleaned the garage, walked the dog, swam for a bit w/ my nephew. Back on the horse today!

I'm going to go out for a walk before it rains and do KM today.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi Shannon:

Your post made me laugh re: the confession! Yes, the social occasions are tough ones. We had a Progressive Dinner Bike Ride a couple weeks ago and I ate plenty. The 35 miles of riding along the way only made my appetite bigger. LOL.

I was going to ask what kind of riding you do (horse), but just figured out that probably means back on the horse that threw you off (the clean eating)! I'm so dense sometimes.

Hi ladies,

Sorry that I haven't checked in lately but with work and school, things have been crazy! Exercise has been put on hold for about a week or more. I try to some days and just can't bring myself to it. Amd I have always been a consistent exerciser. I am slipping fast. Diet is the worst of all. I eat basically what I want and don't have any guilt at the time when I am eating it. I used to have such good control over myself!

I've wanted many times to come on and post, but got tired of posting I would do a workout and never did. That just became embarrassing to me. I know all of you ladies will listen and help, but I can't whine over my problems always! All of my weakness is coming from my foot being injured. I am tired of it and talking about it. But sometimes I can't help it. I know my foot is improving, but it has been since may that I have been able to do any aerobics or leg work. this has really gotten depressing for me. And when I'm stressed I eat! eat! eat!


I really don't mean to go on about all of this. It just gets overwhelming sometimes. Things will get better I know, and soon I will be jumping around as normal.

I promise I will end this soon though, after I tell You how much I have lost in the calf of my injured foot! I measured 14.5 in good leg, and 14 in bad. I lost half an inch. And you can tell it too! that is something I want to hurry get back to shape.

All in all I can say I will stop eating bad and exercise regularly,but right now I don't know if I would be lying. Just all of you listening to me means alot.

Kim-

I'm right there with you. Monday and Tuesday I had terrible DOMS from the weekend. Wednesday and Thursday I was busy with work stuff and by Friday my lower back went out. I can still barely walk right now. I am scared half to death about my lower back because my boss is on vacation and I am holding down the fort and CANNOT be out sick this week.

The whole reason I joined this check-in was because I wanted to look good at my stepson's wedding in September, and now I just don't care anymore. Far more important things are demanding my attention. I'll look however I look that day. I have hair and make-up people coming to my apt. in the morning to make me look good. So what if I'm not in great shape. The heck with it. Frankly, I'm in too much pain to care.

What's wrong with your foot? Does your injury just affect your ability to work out or does it affect your whole life?

-Nancy (in a very bad mood x( )

P.S. Kim, I'm also with you on the eating. I haven't eaten this badly in years. So, I'm your sister in misery.
 
Hi Nancy,

I guess you can say that my injury is affecting my exercise, my diet,and me mentally. I have been diagnosed with achilles Tendonitis and have to wear this boot cast for 6-8 weeks. That is a real bummer!! I am taking pysical therapy now and that seems to be helping.

I know what you mean right now Nancy, I don't care what I look like right now either. I know this will change when I can do cardio,but I still could be making my upper body better! But right now, it seems like a chore instead of something I love to do. Work and kids in school doesn't help.


Maybe we can get each other over this period of time. I think everyone will help us here!
