I needed this reminder today! I sometimes get obsessed with how I haven't achieved some certain goal and forget how far I've actually come.

Marla - I love my membership at our Y. I like the classes and equipment, but I especially love having a pool to swim laps in (and we bring the kids there on hot days).

Our youngest has been either going through a growth spurt or is getting sick. He's sleeping a lot and is cranky often. I'm just waiting to see which way it ends up going. It gets tiring though. My trainer kicked my butt this morning, which was ce after a week of little to no training. I'm getting back into a good routine again after months of chaos and it feels good! Hoping this continues!

Have a great day everyone!

Great thread starter. When I first started I was great at breaking things into smaller goals so it wouldn't be overwhelming. As I got closer to my ultimate goal it was tempting to look ahead to that. I expected to be there a year ago so the fact that I'm not is frustrating, so I recently set another smaller goal for myself to reach by my birthday in October.

Val sorry to hear that you have to deal with the migraines when you transition food habits. If you did a more gradual reduction in calories or food choices would that help? Or is it easier to "rip the bandaid off" and do it all at once?

Sherry hope you're enjoying your vacation.

Marla those kinds of temps would do me in. Nice job getting through it.

It's been a week. Work has been stressful. I love my job but lately there's just a lot going on and most of it is out of my control. I'm not sleeping well. I'm just snarly in general.

My trainer is on vacation the rest of this week so I've seen him 3 nights in a row. Monday and tonight I got in C25K before my session and I've been increasingly convinced that's not the right rehab plan for me. Run/walk intervals yes, but this is focused more on increasing my cardio. As I was doing it I started thinking about what I need my rehab to do, and this isn't it, and since I'm in a crap mood I got increasingly angry about it as I did the workout. Monday night I had asked Jason about modifying it and he said he thought I should do it (without having actually looked at the plan.) Tonight I told him I'm just not doing it, and I'm in such a bad mood I wasn't overly gracious about it. It went something like me saying I'm not doing it, Jason trying to be reasonable, me saying this isn't a negotiation and that I'm not doing it, Jason trying to be reasonable, me saying he can have input into what I do or he can choose not to but either way I'm changing it up. And then I told him I had a bowl of ice cream in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep, so that distracted him from the running anyway. Ha.

Well it's 9:32pm and my timer just went off that dinner is ready so I should go eat. I got home at 8:00 to a note on the door that they replaced my natural gas meter today and I had to call to have them come turn my gas back on. Since I wasn't home they locked the meter & shut off the gas so they could get in to check for leaks, which makes sense. I called right away and the guy was here by 8:45, which was nice.
