Spring into Summer June 11

[lorihart]

Good Morning Everyone,
I am ready to spring into something,anything today! Yesterday my eating made it to a whole new record.I can not beleive the cookies and sweets I managed to stuff into my mouth yesterday! Part of me thinks....."well Lori, if you never lose weight again,thats fine,you look good,wear a good size pants,your comfortable". O.K, so thats fine, gonna stay this size forever right? Don't think so! If I continue thinking that eating whatever and exercising is going to keep me this size,I am soooooooooooo wrong! Yesterday morning I thought I was doing a wonderful thing by taking the remaining cookies from the fridge,to work.But while I was there,I ate 3.(my defense, they were small)Then we went to the store and I have been eyeing these choc.chip cookie forever.I knew they had to be good b/c they were $5, for 8 cookies.Lets just say,I am really sorry for buying them.
Anyway,no one is home with me, so I had to whine to someone.Sorry it had to be you guys!;(
But today is a whole knew day right? It is totally up to me what I decide to do.No one can force me to make smart chioces,I have to set my mind to something and do it!
So, that is what I am going to do today.The thing I don't understand is...eating healthy makes it so much easier.We feel better,have more energy and feel better about ourselves.But why do I forget so easily?
Today is a run for me.I am not sure how I will do b/c of my eating yesterday.I always think that the way you ate the day before,will affect your workout today.I am also going to do legs tonight.Prehaps legs and glutes,
Anyway,I hope everyone as a good day and I will return later with an update on my eating today.......pregaps it was PMS I better stop looking for excuses....
Lori

Hi Lori, I know I've posted in the past it's easier for me to do a two hour workout than to constantly watch what I eat. My biggest flub is I drink daily. I have got to stop, however it's very difficult for me. Very. I dont eat sweets (cookies, candy, muffins etc) I just enjoy a beer or two at night. Some people must have their coffee in the morning but I must have my beer at night. Pathetic isnt it? I still manage to get up and workout each morning with no problem. This morning was SJP, the 85 min. premix. ME, abs. Later today I think I'll go for a run.
I'll check back later, I've got to go. I'm going to visit my grandfather
Susan C.M.

Hello everyone!

Lori and Susan, I can relate to both of you. I'm in a phase now where I'm really craving chocolate. I've been having a little bit during the day, and then a small piece of chocolate coffee cake at night (warmed up, with whipped cream, mmmmmmm). I also go through phases during which I want a beer with dinner every night. Oh well. I definitely have to stop this chocolate thing, before it gets out of hand. Lori, go ahead and let it all out, that's what we're here for. Susan, I think it's neat that you're going to see your grandfather. Tell him we said hi!

I did Michael Olajide's Killer Abs and Back this morning. Basically a core workout, but you get your arms also with some punching, as well as legs, especially quads, with standing crunches. There was some great floor ab work also and 5 or so minutes of jumping rope (I just pretend I have a rope). I was dripping when I was done. My quads are really sore today, I guess just from my workout yesterday, although maybe also from the 2 hours plus at Field Day in the morning.

Pinky, I hope your appetite's better and that your working on a plan to have some time for yourself. Shywolf, I haven't been doing heavy weights or intense cardio for a while, because of all the health issues this year, but every time I do try, I'm pleasantly surprised at how well I do. I'm sure you get back to your old self after surgery more quickly than you can imagine. Elizabeth, I hope you feel better.

CinDee, Judy, Brenda, Suzanne, Kim, Joy, etc (I can't think of everyone right now), I hope you're all having a good day. Sabine, I know you're having a great time.

Talk to you later.

Ahhh, sweets. My downfall or joy, depending on how you look at it. I, too, ate too many sweets yesterday (cookies, candy, etc.) so I decided today I have to bake! But when I bake it's whole wheat and reduced fat/sugar so it's much better for me since I'm going to need a snack anyway. I am truly one of those people who, if you say I can't have something, will obsess over it...so I just make my own snacks as healthy as I can!

Monday and Tuesday I didn't do anything as I was still tired from Sunday's bike ride (plus TOM which wipes me out for a couple of days). Wed. I did the new HSTA...it's a good workout, but I think I'll be using it primarily an endurance weighted workout rather than circuit or cardio. My upper body especially felt it. Last night was Spinervals Big Gear Strength...I gotta get stronger for the hills! Today will be KPC, I think. Gauntlet or L&G plus HIIT sounds good, too.

Well, gotta run. I'll check in later to see what everyone is up to!

Have a great day and workout!

Hello, all:

Dont beat yourself up over 1 day of bad eating. It happens. Tomorrow is another day. PMS just makes it harder to maintain your willpower, but try to count to ten or (FirmNurse I think had a good suggestion) put whitening strips on your teeth. YOu cant eat for at least a half hour and by that time I have talked myself out of needing the food. It works.

I did S&H tri/bis, KPC abs, and Xtreme today. Tomorrow off for three months to our summer home.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Hi All;
Well aunt flo came a knockin on my door last night and has decided to stay for a while LOL. This morning I could just not get out of bed ...I woke up soooo darn late and it has upset my entire day. I just finished IMAX 2 with abs from ME again this week. Gosh how many times have a said I JUST LOVE THIS WORKOUT!? I love those straddle taps ...this is just so much fun and always seems to get me in a gret mood.. of course now I've got cramps from hell but oh well...funny how nothing was bothering me while I was workin out now I feel like "Ouch!"

I got my almost 14 yr old making some wax chunks ...she wants to learn how to pour wax so I'm slowly breakin her in ...I think I'm going to let her pour her own chunk pillar candle while I dip bears and make some goat's milk lotion tonight. What a way to spend a Friday night eh? LOL

My friends have convinced me to sell my products online and I'm a little afraid of that step. I really need to come up with a unique dot com name if I do instead of just " Handcrafted By Vilma " well That's it for me now ...tommorrow the hubby and I celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary ...don't know if we will do anything as bills are always needing to get paid first I guess I can give him lots of hugs and kisses instead right?

Laundry duty is calling let's not even mention I have to make dinner .

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. I plan on Cardio & Weights for tommorrow and a rest day on Sunday.
Big Hi's and Hugs to all;

Thanks Ladies,
Eating went ALOT better today.I had a couple of spoon fulls of cookie dough ice cream,two timbits (which are about 1/4 of a dounut) and thats it.I was really busy at work and when I was finished I picked my daugther up and went straight for dinner(i had some onion rings though ) Deep fried stuff doesn't bother me to much b/c I don't eat it very often.
I went for my run at 10:30.We went for 14 kms,so I think that may have taken care of yesterdays over eating.
NOt sure if I will get to do legs tonight.I may leave it for tomorrow.
Have a good one,
LOri

Hello All!

Did BC today (w/some mods)- I love it when Cathe says at the end *Don't you feel accomplished today?*... It helps to keep me motivated and on track. Tomorrow DH and I are taking our dog to an event that will benefit the humane societies in our area- food, entertainment, etc so it should be fun. Also watched President Reagan's funeral today- very sad but beautiful.

Cid- you've been having some great workouts- I enjoy reading your posts! You'll get to your goals, I know it! I'm with you about treats- if I say absolutely not, I eat too much of it. Baking your own healthy treats is a great idea!

Suzanne- welcome! I'm sorry I didn't say it sooner. Have a wonderful time at your summer home- sounds like such great fun!

Lisa- thanks for your good wishes. The fatigue comes and goes and I usually have to factor that in when I do my workouts. Sometimes I get frustrated about it but then I remember that I'm lucky I CAN workout and move my body and it puts it all in perspective for me. Your field day yesterday sounded like such a workout! I enjoy reading about your workouts- gives me good input and ideas so thanks!

Shywolf- read about your upcoming surgery. I'll be thinking about you and sending you some healing thoughts, OK?

Well, gotta go and get ready for dinner- going out with some friends. Take care all and have a wonderful evening! Hellos to everyone else!

Elizabeth
