S.B.F. Challenge. . .June 27

Happy Friday, all!

Today is my first session with a trainer! I'm excited and nervous. I'm hoping to burn 500 calories somehow before I leave the gym. I'll report back.

Otherwise, my other goals are:
water
vits.

Yesterday I went over by my calories by 200 calories (or, one rice crispy square). I was upset, so I ate it. I'm bummed, because this is the first time in a long time I've eaten for an emotional reason. I'm trying to honor the fact that in the past, that 200 would have been at least 2000 over, but it still kind of sucks. The other thing it points out is how important exercise is to my weight loss. If I had done cardio yesterday, I could have eaten 3 of those delicious damned things without going over. So, here's to seven days a week of some sort of exercise!

Happy workouts, all!:flowerforyou:

I do my best to try NOT to think about exercise=dessert (though I know, V, it's not what you were thinking). I could be such an exercise bulimic if I didn't stop myself. Thus, the limiting self to 1 dessert a week. Though next week I'm already planning on eating bunches! (July 3=party, July 4=fondue, July 5=fancy restaurant) Good thing it's my hard week.

Last night at my book club meeting, one of the women just finished her third Iron Man. Yep, that's a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and 26.2 mile run - all in 11 hours and 40 minutes. Of course someone asked how many calories that was (12,000, wasn't me, I could figure that out on my own :laugh:). My elliptical yesterday seemed wimpy after that. Every time I hear about someone doing a marathon, I wonder if I could walk that far. Not that I would get up at 5am to do it, but it gets me thinking. Maybe I'll try it one day, just to see how far I could go.

Today, I'm going to do some BL and walking.

TGIF SBFers..Another day of The Shred today and hopefully, another 10 miles on my bike. Very humid here today so I'll probably stick to my inside bike.

On a sad note, my ex-mother-in-law passed away last night. She was, without a doubt, the best person I have ever met. It was her time-she was basically just existing but my boys are very sad today and that makes me very sad.

I hope everyone has a super exercise filled weekend!

I had a rough day yesterday. I found myself knowly emotional eating for the second day. I went to the gym in the AM- had gained 2 lbs and was really beating myself up about all of it. My pattern is that the more stressed I am- the more I put really strict food and exercise rules on myself. Which of course makes me feel bad when I dont live up to them. I am really, really trying to break this cycle.

After a good night rest, I woke this morning and went to the gym, ran 3 miles, did some abs, lunges and pushups and thought to myself- you are awesome Melissa. And I am really trying to do positive self talk and try to believe some of it.

I had my bag salad for lunch and plan to stock up on more at the farmers market tomorrow.

Have a great Friday.
