Good Morning Ladies,
I am happy to report that I started my week off right:) I dragged my a$$ out of bed at 6 and was on the treadmill by 6:15.I could have ran for 40 min but cut it down to 30 min.I figure that was enough that early in the morning.
I was so discouraged yesterday with my eating.It wasn't what I ate yesterday,its been the way I have been eating over the last couple of years.I use to watch everything now....I just watch it go in,then I watch it show up on the scalex( I have been in this challenge for a while and I haven't been challenging myself,everything is exactly the way it was before.Who do I think I am fooling? I had a pair of pants on yesterday that were comfy christmas time.And I was in punishment yesterday when wearing them.I wouldn't allow myself to undo them.I was the one who made them uncomfortable so I am the one who is gonna stick it out.The only thing that got me out of my slump is thinking that I would start of fresh today.And I did.So I am going to try my hardest to stick to this.I have to listen to what my body wants.Sometimes I just eat out of boredom.Not good.
Enough whining...I just wanted to let you know what was going on in my life!

Welcome Patti, I guess welcome to the sight as well.This is a great place and you should feel comfortable here.

Lori-How was your workout? I plan on doing some form of weights when I get off today.Probably one of the GS style workouts.The another one tomorrow.It probably wouldn't hurt to work my legs.

Shelly-I can't remember what you wrote!:eek: How awful! When I started writing this I was here by myself but the boss came in so I had to leave what I was doing.How was your gathering last night?

FFD,LoriS,Lisa,Nicole,Diana(hope I didn't leave anyone out!) How is everyone? Anything new?
I will check back later,
Lori:)
 
Hi Lori, sounds like you are in a great mindset, good for you. I too eat out of boredom.

I did MM yesterday. It was great, I upped a couple weights. My 4 year old was out for pizza with my sister. He came home and told me his ear hurt. We all jumped in the shower, brought him to the ER, because it was Saturday. He did have an ear infection. He is doing better now. I was just glad I did MM when I had the chance and didn't procrastinate because I would of never got it in. We didn't get home until close to 10 pm.

I wanted to run last night, but of course didn't. I am running today if it kills me. I want to do LM too, we will see though.

I saw my ex-boyfriends sister at the ER last night. She is a nurse. I haven't saw her in over 10 years. She was going on and on how great I looked, etc. It made me feel really good. I never liked her, she was mean to me. But it was nice to hear that she thought I looked so great, seeing that her brother broke up with me. (by the way, I am glad he did, if I married him, God knows where I would be now. Somethings happen for the best.)

Have a wonderful day, and I will check in later.

Adding, that I need to start getting my butt in gear also. Less than 2 months left until the end of the challenge and still fighting the same 5 lbs. I need to LOSE, not fool around like I have been doing!!

Lori
 
Lori-Your thinking that same way I am.We say we are in a challenge but I certainly don't feel like I am.I am eating and doing the same things that I was before.If I don't feel like working out I won't.Instead,I should be getting the right amount of sleep each night and getting my butt into gear every morning.
My meals have been going good today.I was having a sweet craving after lunch but I fought it off.Its gone now:) I can't imagine people who quit smoking and have REAL cravings.
I thought you wrote your ex-boyfriends sister was ON ER.I was thinking how in the world did she end up on t.v? If I were you I would have had to force myself to be nice.
Lori:)
 
I was avoiding her for the longest time. I recognized her. She was sitting at the nurses station. We were there forever, she finally said my name, and came in and talked to me and my son. She asked me why I didn't say hi to her. It was sort of akward. I was very nice. Hopefully she is a nicer person today. She was very jealous and liked to wreak havoc in people's lives. Hopefully she has grown out of that. :)

Anyway, yes I need to get moving. We can focus for 2 months right? All of us will be so happy we did. Warm weather is coming, and that means less clothing. But, Lori you are already adorable. I don't think you have much to worry about! :)

I am cleaning, gardening. Debating on whether to do LowMax or just run today.

Lori
 
Good afternoon everyone:)

Well, it's grey and kind of cold and snowing a bit here. Depressing.

Wow! Two months. I better get my butt in gear:)

Lori: the party last night was better than I expected. It was just a big family thing, no dancing or anything, food, conversation. Very nice. Thanks for asking.

Lori: Sounds like you handled the meeting with the ex's sister very diplomatically.

This morning I got up and did Kick Max. I'm going to try MM upper body tonight.

My little girl and I are just having a quiet afternoon. She got some new Barbie outfits at WalMart and is happily playing away (man, is it ever difficult to do up Barbie ballet slippers - those tiny, tiny ribbons!). I'm going to make some muffins, doing a bit of Laundry Max. I like these days:)
 
I just read last week's thread. Welcome Patti!

I just ran 4 miles. I was glad I could run it, because I haven't been running a lot lately. I have the Easter Beach Run this coming Saturday. It is on the beach obviously. I have never run in sand. It is more difficult. If I can finish the thing I will be happy. I plan on running 4-5 miles every other day until the race comes then jump back on the Fat loss rotation.

Tomorrow is HSC. I think Cathe is helping me with my endurance. My goal for this week is to eat as nutritiously as possible so I will have energy for the race. Also, I want to get a lot of sleep. We will see how that goes with the kiddos. Last night they both crawled in the bed at 4 am, which would be fine, but they toss and turn and talk, then it's time to get up! But that's life with little kids right? :)

Lori :)
 
Hi everyone!

Sounds like everyone is doing well, but we're all struggling with a little motivation. I'll go ahead and admit it, I am REALLY struggling with eating well. Working out is going fantastic, but it seems like no matter how much I think about my eating goals, I still sabotage myself! Why do we do this?

Just finished PUB, and MIC yesterday. AM feeling a bit sick, but will push through.

Lori, awesome that your ex's sister saw you and complimented you! Sometimes it feels even better when it comes from someone who has not always been friendly - why is that?

Lorihart - its not that you gals weren't motivating; I was feeling bad cause you were all kicking butt!!! I needed something drastic to force myself to get more focused, so I made myself stay away for a bit. I'm sending out a good vibe to us all right now that tomorrow, everyone's eating will be exceptional!
 
Good Morning Girlies,

FFD- Im glad to see you check in! You know I was only joking,right? I hope you don't plan on staying away for much longer.

Lori-Life with kids, yeah,I remember the days of no sleep, or little sleep.And to think about doing it again...hmmmmmmmmm, I dunno.We are still young but she is turning 9 tomorrow.To start over seems like a step backwards but I know we will be happy we did it in the end.I don't have the urge yet though.I don't know if I ever will.I am not taking any birth control.The Dr.told us it was going to take a while (poor DH and his little men!)

How is everyone else? I woke up and TOM was here.I feel fine.I rarely get stomach cramps or cranky.
Eating yesterday was alot better then normal and I am hoping that today will be even better.I am not hungry yet so I am thinking of working out first.
Later today I have to head to the mall and yet b-day party supplies.Then I am back to work again tomorrow.This is bit of a slower week, I only work 32 hours, as to 80 hours.
I will check back later,
Lori:)
 
Happy Birthday to your daughter! That will be fun.

I am happy to report that I got some decent sleep last night. Today is HSC. We are continuing to put this big playset together that we bought at Sams Club. We had a lot of rain, and hubby had to work this weekend, so hopefully we will finish today. We are also having our house painted! I am excited about that. Our house is only 6 years old, and the front is brick which is fine, but the sides need painting. :)

Well, I won't bore you any longer. :) I hope everybody has a great day of healthy eating and working out.

FFD, kudos to you!! If my eating is off, I don't feel like exercising. So good for you to continue to work out! That is an accomplisment. Maybe you are hungry too, and not eating as much calories as you think you are. :)

Lori. :)
 
Hi everyone....I am going to get back on the Cathe wagon today. I am going to do MM UB premix, and some cardio. I did well at eating all weekend. I did buy a bathing suit this weekend and did not light my butt!!!! OUCH. Oh well.

Lori H, I wish I had that easy of a time when TTOM comes along. I can not tell you how terrible I feel. Mine is supposed to be here, the 24th, and I have been struggling for a week. The older I get, the worse it gets, and I can remember my first period very well, and it lasted 10 days. Consider yourself lucky.
Lori
 
I had a good workout today.I did GS B,S,B and Low Max.I wanted to do abs but I had to get a shower and get party stuff done.I plan on doing a short run sometime today and then abs.I have to start doing my abs more.
LoriS-Does anything get easier as you get older? About a week before my period I get a bit cranky.But I never realize that my mood swings are dur to my period comming.
Lori-Fun???? We will see! She is having a sleepover with 15 girls! I may have my gair pulled out by then.If they can all make it through the night without fighting, I will be lucky.
I will check back later,
Lori:)
 
Lori: you're insane. 15 girls for a sleepover? Well, if you make it through that, you're a better woman than I;)

Well, the sun is shining, we've hit positive numbers on the thermometer - maybe spring IS coming!

This evening I plan on a segment of Core Max, and then Step Blast.

Four more sleeps and then it's a long weekend here! Hallelujah!
 
I am just glad it is just starting to warm up here in Virginia so I can get outside more. The more I am outside, the less tempted I will be with food and plus I will burn off more calories. I have several gardens to tend to (flowers, herbs and a huge vegetable one). Got to get that ole' tiller going soon.
And if I cheat, I have a body fat analyzer I can never fool! Many times, I wanted to throw it across the room and just have a good temper tantrum! LOL One day, I fear I will end up destroying that analyzer.

Charlotte~~:eek:
 
Hi ladies,

I spent all day outside putting that darn playset together. One more day of work and it will be done. :) We came in around 6, made dinner. I did HSC. What a sweat fest. I did use lighter weights because I am still sore from MM. I don't know what tomorrow is for the fat loss rotation, but I am running.

LoriH-have fun with your slumber party. 15 girls, whoa!!

Have a great night!

Lori
 
Lori, I used to get in SO MUCH TROUBLE when having a sleepover! Expect your daughter to turn into an alien!

Yesterday was my day off, so nothing workout wise to report yet. Eating is going well - anyone looking for a plan where they will not be hungry, try Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle. IT makes such a difference eating a large breakfast!

Have a great Tuesday!
 
Hi! I whoke uplate this morning and didn't work out so I'll try to get into it tonight. yesterday I had a rotten workout - tried one of the Bill's bootcamp DVDs (Cardio Bootcamp) and hated it - so working out has been bad for me so far this week! I haven't worked out since gee, I want to say Saturday the 12th because of my business trip - I think this inactivity is getting good to me! I need to turn it around!

Started my second run at phase 1 on SBD yesterday an did well - had Chicken capri last night (think chicken parmesian without the sauce and without the breading) turkey and ham rolup, eggplant lasagne at lunch - good food. Today will Balsamic chicken!

Wish me luck working out tonight - usually when my day is over I jsut want to crash! :)

Lisa
 
Morning all!

Last night was Step Blast and the abs from KPC for me. It was tough going at first. I used two risers on the step and my legs were yelling at me. I ignored them and eventually they stopped:)

Dinner last night was a big salad with some steamed asparagus, carrots and cauliflower. Soooooooo delicious!

Today the sun is out, it's going to be not-freezing and the snow is melting. HOORAY!

Tonight I hope to get a good run in and then do Body Max weights and abs.
 
Good Morning,
Was not happy with what the scale told me today!x( And I have been eating pretty good.Then I measured myself and everything is the same.I think it is just the stupid digital scale.
Today I had 1 boiled egg,1 egg white and a slice of ham for breakfast.See..no carbs:) I am wondering,if I don't eat carbs for breakfast or dinner,what will happen? I could have something with my dinner though and maybe a snack around 3(fruit)Probably see some good results if I am an evening exerciser.Any results at all would be nice right now!
We are going out for dinner tonight, my little girls b-day.I am already wondering what to have.I am leaning towards, the salad with chicken.That would be my safe bet.There may even be something low carb on the menu:)
I would like to do Gs tri and chest tonight and a run.Should be no problem fitting it in later on.
Nothing else new here,
Lori:)
p.s.going to ask DH to hide scale away.I weigh myself to much and I know it isn't possible to gain 2 lbs in one day so why do I let myself get discouraged.I could tell him to give me the scale once every two weeks:)
 
Hi, GS legs for me today, and a 1/2 hour of cardio. I am only doing the standing part of legs, will do the floorwork tomorrow. Have a good day!!!
