Goals - Words of Wisdom - May 21, 2008
Good morning, Let's focus this week!. What is your goal? Think about your life. Goals are very simple to define. I heard someone say.. "Either you're going somewhere or you're not!!" Self help Guru Zig Ziglar says.. "A man or a woman without a goal is like a ship without a rudder. Each will drift and not drive. Each will…

Ladies.
How do ya'll get past that time of month? I feel so irritable that sometimes I want to binge, but then there are times when I don't eat enough because I'm so irritable. Oh and getting to the gym is also a challenge. Help! :cry:

Owwwwww
My sister's cooking tonight. She's makeing something that she saw on a cooking show. Some halibut drowning in a cream sause and covered with seafood and pasta. :sick: Ewwwww I checked the calories for just a few ingreedients of the dish and I could have fell backwards in my chair. I didn't even factor in the cream sauce…

Bad Day!
Today just started out bad and quickly nose dived into disaster! Twix, 1/4 of a doughnut (curse school administration), 1 cup Johnny Carinos Chicken Fettucini Alfredo, and their "killer cake" which sadly....was disappointing. :grumble: BARELY under calories (and only if I get in both workouts) and WAY over on fat today.…

Crap, someone kick me! Why am i doing this?
I seriously thought of every freakin' excuse to not go to the gym today. I slapped myself back in to reality, got dressed, and headed to the gym. Why am I struggling so much lately with going? Before I just went, now I try to talk myself out of it and eventually think about how far i've come and go, but still, that scares…

Need a pep talk
Hey guys, I've really been struggling for a couple of months now. I had lost 17 pounds and was looking good and feeling good. I was motivated and excited. Then we got some news about our son and since then I have been a mess and have gained half the weight back. I am getting back into exercising and I can tell I am…

Weight loss has slowed down
I did the no-scale challenge..weighed yesterday at the one-month mark. I only lost ONE pound the whole month!!!:grumble: But I have met my Memorial Day Challenge goal of 168 lbs....

Discouraged
I just returned from a breakfast meeting where I ordered a fruit & yogurt plate. The person next to me asked why I wasn't ordering a big meal. I told her I was counting calories and that I had already lost 15 pounds. She responded by saying she hadn't noticed. I haven't seen her in a month so it's not like I work with her…

Grr.
Nothing like being told you look like a hot mess in your fav black dress to trigger an emotional binge. :angry: No worries, I sit here with my tea and 100 cal oreos. Just frustrated that my dress "shows too much" though it's jersey, floats away from my body, hits my knees, and shows no cleavage at all. But what are mothers…

Support
Hey all!! :smile: I am really having a hard time controlling myself, I see a post below about binge eating... I do fine all day until I get to work/parents house. I leave myself some room for a treat (since the vending machine is there haha) But then my dad will BBQ something... And there is a HUGE box of Ferrero Rocher…

Broken
That's exactly how I feel! I don't know how to fix me either! According to my heart rate monitor (I've been wearing it everyday for 9 days) I've burned more than I have consumed, deficit ranging from 850 to 500. I KNOW I read that I would probably gain weight going from YEARS of 1300 to 9 days of 1800-2000! But I'm not…

Why the Scale Lies
Why The Scale Lies by Renee Cloe, ACE Certified Personal Trainer We’ve been told over an over again that daily weighing is unnecessary, yet many of us can’t resist peeking at that number every morning. If you just can’t bring yourself to toss the scale in the trash, you should definitely familiarize yourself with the…

I evaluate people that have been charged with some pretty serious crimes to try to help with mental health and substance abuse needs.

aurg. disappointed in myself
Aurg. I'm so disappointed in myself. I've been doing really well lately, but today I just couldn't resist cake. Somehow I rationalized this in my head and took 1 square in (from the middle, so there wasn't as much frosting!) of cake and I ate it in like 4 bites. Thankfully I had enough cals for it and I'm going to the gym…

I DIDN'T EAT THE FRENCH FRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday was Victoria Day so the gym was only open till 7. My husband was teaching tennis lesson all afternoon so the only time I could go was a dinner. My husband said he would make dinner for the kids and I decided I would just get a Sub on the way home from the gym. When I got home no one was there. I ate my sub and…

not gonna let it get me down!!!
So while I was burying my head in the sand, being all depressed, I binged and gained 5 lbs . Well, I've decided I will not let that pull be back down in the trenches. I did this to myself and now I'm going to undo it! I have quit smoking for 10 weeks now, and until my little set back I was doing great with the weight. I…

I DID IT!
I finally got off my butt, got up an hour early, and did 20 minutes of interval training this morning. Nothing big, but its a start. I feel freaking AWESOME even though my calves are a little sore. I'm so proud.. I used to be gasping for breath after a quarter mile of jogging... going on and off I made it about 3/4ths of a…

Need to shout!!
I am feeling a little frustrated...the scale hasn't moved in a week!! Part of that is good b/c I made it thru a fairly busy weekend, eating out fri, sat, and sunday. So I know that was a challenge. BUT, I have my 10 yr anniversary, a 20 yr reunion and 2 additional beach trips planned....I want to look hot! I am a mother of…

Today is a "fat" day
Today I just feel yucky about myself. I have days where I look at myself and am proud I am healhy and have made positive changes for me and my family. Today was not one of those days. Today was a day where I was repulsed everytime I bent over and there was that hunk of fat, loose jiggly skin hanging over my waistband. My…

Frustrated with my BFF
My best friend is "doing Weight Watchers" but it clearly isn't working. I have never had much luck with WW, and I don't think she's really counting everything she eats. I keep subtely mentioning this website and the success my mom and I have been having with it, but she isn't interested. It just makes me sad to see her…
