    We are halfway through the week Pin-ups! :)

    Welcome numberscolors & indigloworm!

    jaspersmommy - Happy Anniversary to you and your Mr. :flowerforyou:

    karin - good for you putting it out there and making the committment. I always tell myself and my daughter that the raw egg in the batter will make us sick.....hey, sometimes it works.....lol Have fun at your friends b-day party, your cupcakes sound delish!

    kayleigh - you've had your binge and acknowledged what you ate and hopefully you enjoyed every bite, now you can refocus and move forward.

    We all have our moments and weaknesses, my fault is when I binge or eat something that isn't a great choice I don't log my food for the rest of the day, it's like I give up. That is something that I am going to focus on.

    Have a great day everyone!

    I just started and I already bailed on a work out. There was drama I had to take care of last night so I did that rather then go to the gym. :ohwell: Guess I will have to do a double work out tomorrow.

    Kayleigh- I'll take some of your calories. I have the hardest time getting to my minimum during the week

    Karin & Jaspermommy- I understand the appeal of batter. In my worst days, I woul buy cake mix and prepare it just so I would eat the batter. :embarassed: Congrats for sticking to not eating it. I know it's difficult. :flowerforyou:

    Don't beat yourself up about missing a workout!! And if you work out double, make sure you're getting in those calories to fuel your body.

    Like they said in the last book I read. Do your best. Your best is going to vary each day, depending on whether your sick, tired, busy, etc. So do what you can with the tools you have that day, and go to sleep knowing you accomplished the most with what you had.

    Like yesterday, I had lots of energy, and nothing to do, so I went out and ran and pushed myself. The day before, I didn't have that energy and my motivation wasn't there and I only got in a few minutes of exercise. But both days I did my BEST. :flowerforyou:

    I managed to squeeze in my 8 cups of water yesterday!!! Took some chugging right before bedtime, but I'm determined to meet that goal this week! I think I'm going to try to get back to drinking most of it while at work, because I ended up having to get outta bed 2 or 3 times to go to the bathroom. :laugh:

    Thanks, Rach. I needed that and I am definately going to try to eat more. Drama = no appetite. I did do ABs this morning. WOOT!

    I keep a water pitcher on my desk. Help me drink plenty of water.

    I have my water drinking pretty much scheduled:

    1 cup of warm water with fresh lemon upon rising, it's suppose to help cleanse the liver
    2 cups while I am getting ready
    2.5 cups (what my water bottle holds) driving to work
    2.5 cups during my lunch hour workout
    2.5 cups walking back from the gym
    2.5 cups on the drive home
    2.5 cups if I workout in the evening

    = 15.5 cups on a good day

    If I don't work out it messes with my water intake. I also notice that I struggle in the colder weather drinking my bottle on the walk back from the gym.

    Like everything else, some days are easier than others.

    I've noticed the more I stick with the water, the less I feel like a water balloon day to day. My stomach isn't so sloshy. :laugh:

    Personal Update: Did C25K--Week 4 Day 2 tonight after an insanely lethargic day. I mean really. I got about 7.5 hours of sleep last night, worked 8-10, took a nap from 1015-1115, worked 12-4, sat on the couch, worked 6-8, then went to work out. It's like I couldn't get moving at all today. And when I did my run, OMG my muscles burned almost the whole time. But I finished. I'll probably be doing Week 4 twice. I was hoping I could move on, on time for once, but no. Not gonna feel strong enough I don't think.

    I am on Week 4 for the third week! I think it will take a few more before I am ready to move on. I am finding week 4 to be the hardest so far, those stupid 5 minute runs are killing me!!

    Well it's easy for me because I don't like cheesecake but they're my favorite to make. I like to try and make different ones than I've seen around so it also beats the temptation. Now if I was to bake chocolate chip cookies it would be out the window. :laugh:

    Going to take the babe for a walk around the neighborhood this morning. I need to get some exercise in if I'm going to hit 30 by this weekend. :happy:

    Sounds like the truffles I make. I make dark chocolate truffles infused with Johnnie Walker Black Label Whisky or Jameson depending on what we have in the house. I want to try and make a Jack Daniels caramel pecan cheesecake.

    I blew it yesterday for dinner: I'm taking a LSAT prep course and we had a practice test yesterday and a few of us did really bad and it was raining so we ducked into a restaurant and I ate (drumroll): a HUGE turkey burger, french fries and a small gellato! I know, kill myself. The worst part is, I stayed up late with them hanging out, so I couldn't wake up this morning to work out AND I have another class tonight! FML! I need to stay.on.track. Pray for me.

    Like I said before. Just do your best! Make each choice as it comes, and move on. :flowerforyou:
