Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))
Replies
-
So, last night, I told myself if I just went to the gym I could just do the "fun" stuff - squats, bench and deads. Like a 5X5 workout. I had no motivation, and haven't had any, for a couple weeks now.
So, I did 5X5 squats at 170 pounds, working on depth. I don't know if I can even confess this...
I've had my bladder leak a bit before when doing squats or deads, but last night it was bad enough that drops hit the floor. I was mortified. Lucky for me - empty gym and crazy patterned pants (nothing showed)!!! (I grabbed a spray bottle and a towel and cleaned up after myself, in case you were wondering.)

I then did 125 pound bench 5X5. One of the catch bars on the power rack is broken, so there aren't any safeties. I have to be careful with how much weight I try to bench until they get a new catch bar.
Then the grand finale! Deadlifts. 5X135, 5X185, 5X225, 1X275, 1X295, 1X315!!! New deadlift PR!!! And the three little jerks that think they own the weight room were there to witness it. Yeah, boys, girls CAN lift!!!

Don't you just hate it when delicious food purposely jumps into your mouth and you accidentally chew and swallow it?!

She must have a strong will. My heart goes out to you.
In.spades. Four is brutal so far. After an hour and half battle she knocked it off only to start fighting with our middle girl and having to go back to time out to battle it out for another half hour. The baby is now in a mood and whining over nothing (presumably because she saw the attention her sister got while being a jerk and kicking the crap out of me).
I am literally counting the minutes until my husband comes home so I can throw food at them and run-cry for 8 miles until I can't feel feelings anymore.
I had two kids who would fight back like that. When my kids were small enough for time out to work, I put them in my living room (no TV, that was in the den, I used it for reading and time out) I put the good kids in the entryway with their toys and sat down in the doorway so that I could see everyone. I would not speak to the trouble maker for the duration. My oldest let this go on for four hours once. Seriously she argued at me for four hours that she should not have sit quietly with her mouth closed for two minutes. I hated her. I was playing favorites. I wouldn't do this to the boys. Over and over. She finally fell asleep arguing at me because I wouldn't answer her.
This and @JessicaMcB's story is why I have ONE child. I would get arrested. You guys are SUPERMOMS!!!0 -

Yeah this is basically Emma. When she's good (99.9% of the time) she's so good, when she's bad I want to change my name to Francis and move to Guam lol. At least our middle girl is the ultimate in middle children- she will be three next month and never been in time out and is never any trouble. This will not be true of the baby who tries to circumvent me via daddy already -_-
And people ask me all the time why don't have a fourth to try for a boy @quiksylver296 ...I just want to smack them lol1 -

I thought I read that Quest was supposed to have ice cream & Fiber One was supposed to have some kind of ice cream too.
I wouldn't have access to that because basically no one will ship frozen food to my small town neck of Canada. We're so isolated we still get original recipe Quest bars lol. Tell me how it is when it's released!

Ah I've had Buff Bake- super yummy I thought but the sugar content is too high . Canadian options are so limited as you are obviously aware...I wish we had cool protein companies! 1 -

This! It's common in female heavy lifters, I highly suggest speaking to you family Dr or Gyno. This can become a bigger issue if you aren't careful (pelvic floor collapse).
Also on depth, I highly suggest pause squats. I found that's when things "clicked" for depth. Also GOOD JOB!

I confess I've spent much of the morning trying to figure out what SSRI has the least anecdotal impact on weight because I just can't anymore but I also can't handle getting fatter either. Been off my OCD meds since I got pregnant with #3 (who is pushing 18 months) and even though I was doing a lot better in weight loss phase since I had regain in my carb foray I am on the floor depressed again. Hopefully I can get in next week to request the fan favorite, Wellbutrin

Even though I've lost weight almost every week, have logged my food diligently all week and my clothes are not tighter and it is okay if I don't lose every week I am still scared to step on the scale. Every week I grit my teeth and close my eyes as I step on it. I also always weigh myself about 3 times in a row to be sure.
Speaking of getting things off my chest- one of my breasts seems to be shrinking faster than the other one as I lose weight.
I have a talking scale so I dont have to look and I also get on and off the scale three times. If I feel I should have lost more weight than the scale says, I will wait until I use the bathroom and then re weigh myself1 -

I gained 10 lbs in 4 weeks from overeating and not exercising while using my pregnancy as an excuse.....no more excuses. Have been maintaining since. Back to proper nutrition and exercise.2

Amazing. You are just amazing.
I would definitely listen to Victoria and go to a doctor on the leakage. Just to be sure. But muscle tiredness can cause issues. Look at marathoners who lose control of their bowels late in the race. I think the kind of muscle strain you are putting your body through could definitely lead to this.0 -

I agree. There's times I would rather smell someone with bad B.O. than someone who doused every inch of their body with cologne/perfume.0 -

You look fantastic! I definitely get you on the leg issues. I am not sure if I have/had lymphedema, but I know I had a ton of extra skin on my legs that I hated when I was smaller than I am now (need to re-lose around 30-50 more pounds).0 -

I can do that after yoga class, but not if I haven't had a good stretch.0
