LOVE! Bet its going to look stunning on you! Cant wait to see the pics :-)0 -
Nola: OH?! What part of NY are you from?! I’m pretty sure that it’s been scientifically proven that carbs and sugar crave more carbs and sugar when I’m having a carb food craving, I try and go for an apple, or blueberries, something that is small and will keep my mouth and hands entertained. You’re doing all this crazy work, waking up at 5am for a bootcamp class, why not take the second to really question before you eat something. Don’t undo all of your hard work
Kandace: Thanks, I LOVE free therapy! You’re right. We all have our moments and situations that arise. How is everything going with the counselor speaking of which? The best way to clean is to dance and clean! Pretend the vacuum is your dancing partner or the cleaning spray bottle.. PLUS that way you are dancing and burning calories while cleaning. WIN WIN! Oh, when is your birthday! I’m a June baby too! Well, almost July, I’m June 30th!
Allie: I think that some splurge days are actually good. I think they sort of throw a shock to your system and can rev up the calorie burns. Just don’t let them happen too much lol. Goodluck on your 5k!
Tara: I’m glad to see you’re still holding up on not weighing in. You go girl!
Meag: I love going on runs to clear my head. I have nothing else to think about when I’m running (other than ARG don’t get run over by the bikers!) Get a great endorphin kick, speed up metabolism, clear your head. I think that sounded like a great idea! My boyfriend is a big hippie but I know he wants to get in shape, or at least not be fat anymore… So I just figured what a better way than doing it with me? But I think you’re exactly right Meag, and I didn’t really think of it that way, that he’s just where I used to be (and still am). I still massively compare myself to other girls at the gym, especially the fitter girls, and while it makes me feel bad about myself, I’ve learned to use it as motivation that one day I hope to look like that.
Aly: I sounds like you had an AWESOME night, every now and then we deserve an allowed “over” for the day. I’m especially proud that you ate really well that day and didn’t also go overboard. Oh I love the dress! Yay for more pink!
Cait: I think you look amazing in that dress! And I’m proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone and realizing that you CAN be bold and make an entrance and feel good about it. What’s a crossfit place?
Shannon: Sister! I feel you! I’ve been eating under my calories, and definitely working out more and yet no results. I’ve weighed the same for months now! At least you are losing inches. And you know that’s a good thing, but I agree it’s incredibly frustrating that there is no number change. Have you been stuck at that weight for month? I unfortunately don’t have any advice because my weight never seems to change to matter what I do, but I just started a new program about 2 weeks ago, so I’ll let you know if that works for me. But just keep your head up and keep trucking along. I really hope you get that scale difference soon. Don’t give up! Have you taken before pictures yet? I’d do that so then even when the scale doesn’t change but you know the inches are, then you know you are making a difference in your body composition. So I’d maybe use those pictures and motivation to stay strong, and see that YOU ARE making a difference!
AFM: I’m bored as usually sitting in class, but then I get to go pick up the boy right after! I’m going to keep logging, (but usually when he’s around I don’t) So to keep logging would be a GREAT NSV for me for these next 2 weeks and still keep up my weight training even if he won’t join me. Maybe I can help motivate him to start acting on caring by being a role model.
QOTD: hmm, I love the early mornings when the sun is just rising and the birds are up (so mostly just on really sunny days. Lately with getting up early for work I’m just too darn tired at night after work and classes. I love LAZY mornings lol0 -
Nola-my WO's during my "fast" were my normal ones(turbo jam, BL cardio max, and YBB-yoga booty ballet=400-500cals burned). I know that was not the right way to lose weight BUT that is not why I did it...I did it to show myself that I can be self-disciplened and follow through with my plans...I needed a MIND cleanse so to say!! LOL :laugh: to each there own...but I do think that daily challenges are the way to go...with each accomplishment you will feel more confident that you can get this done! SO...way to get to the gym, and to beat your daily goal!
Meag-no worries girl!! that is ONE reason that I decided to do it when I did it...I knew that I wouldn't be weighing myself for a few weeks after and I knew that the loss, then probable regain would balance itself out by the time June 1st rolled around and the numbers wouldn't affect what I was doing "eating-wise". I am back to my normal healthy intake of between 1250-1350/ day :happy:
QOTD-I think my fave time of day depends on if I work or not...if I work (@ night) I like the time while I am driving to and from work (430pm-510pm) and (6am-645am) it is my only ALONE time for these 3 days!! For my days off I would say that I enjoy the nighttime (midnight-3am).
Cait-CONGRATS on your successful anni party at the shop...it's always nice to get a positive mention from others! WTG! :flowerforyou:
Shannon-sounds like you have been really doing well with your diet and exercise...the only tip that I could say to maybe help you get past your plateau would be to switch things up a bit...try changing your workout routine, and/or try changing your calorie intake (check your settings and if you are set for 0.5 to 1 lbs per week I would say maybe lower cals, and if you are set for 1.5-2lbs/week I would say maybe increase your cals) Regardless, you are doing great... and this is exactly why myself (and Allie) have put away the scale for the rest of the month! Just stay focused and keep on moving! :flowerforyou:
Aly-what a pretty dress!! great pick...you will look great in it!
Leela-have fun with the bf!!! and you are right...NO scale for me still!!
AFM-today was my rest day but I did get in my ab routine. I have eaten a decent breakfast (300cals) but now I have the damn potluck to compete with for tonight!! I added a bunch of things to my diary that I KNOW will be there and I will change it as I go!! Here's to hoping that I can show some self-control! :drinker:0 -
Love the dress Aly! The colour is gorgeous - you pink ladies are ROCKING it! I'm not sure I could ever rock that dress with my colouring but it sure looks gorgeous on Cait and I'm certain you'll look stunning, as well :bigsmile:
My fave time of day is breakfast. I am definitely a morning person and I love having the entire day to look forward to. I get to eat my fave bowl of oatmeal, which I honestly am excited about every single day, and I am just generally really happy in the morning. It drives Tyler insane because he's such a grouch and I always annoy the snot out of him :laugh: Such a trouble maker!
Leela - He just needs to figure it out on his own terms and in his own time. Turning that competition into a positive, instead of using it as an excuse to put off getting healthy, is a really hard thing to do. It takes a lot of courage to take the first step and workout even when you feel awful, foolish, fat, unattractive, etc. I know! I've been there! And I am so proud of myself for making the commitment and actually following through (everyone should be!) but I definitely had to be at the right place and time to get it done. You can't want it for him. Just be supportive and hope that your progress and positivity will encourage him to want to make the change with you. Good luck!
For those of you "stuck" - I've said it here a million times. Re-evaluate. How much are you eating, how much does your body burn at maintenance, and how much do you workout? Is the DIFFERENCE between what you're eating and your total burn greater than 500 calories? If it is, eat more. Change your workouts. Be diligent and eat clean. And see what happens. Give it 3-4 weeks and enjoy being able to fuel your body. After 3-4 weeks, weigh yourself and note the change. If you're being honest and accountable, measuring properly, and working hard you will see a loss. There's a very good chance you're under-nourished and your metabolism is just slowing down to a crawl. Kick it back up with some real, healthy food and get back to losing!
Tired of my PSAs yet? Gosh I sound like one of those awful know it alls at the gym sometimes... Sorry! 
Tonight;s recipe kicked *kitten* and it was thrown together and done cooking in less than an hour. Freaking awesome. Here's what got tossed in...
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 medium onion, sliced
2 tsp ginger, minced
2 large chicken breasts, cut into 1in pieces (mine weighed 366 grams)
1/2 cup water (or so...)
1 1/2 tbsp Arvinda's curry powder (or curry masala of any kind)
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 large carrot, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1 large tomato, chopped
1 cup red lentils (masoor dal)
1/2 cup tomato puree
4 cups water
3/4 cup frozen green peas
cilantro to taste (1/4-1/2 cup)
Heat the oil in a medium sized dutch oven at med-high heat. Toss in cumin seeds and heat until they pop. Then add onion and cook for a few mins. Add ginger (and garlic if you have it) and cook for 1-2 mins, until fragrant. Add chicken and braise on all sides (use some water to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot as you go). Once the chicken is browned, add the spices and toss to coat. Add in all the remaining ingredients apart from the peas and cilantro and let it come to a boil, then lower the heat and cook around medium until the dal is soft, approx 20 mins. Add the peas and cook to desired thickness (add more water if you like, or allow to thicken by cooking with the lid off - not exactly a science lol). Mix in the cilantro before serving, and top with dollops of fresh plain yogurt (greek if desired).
Was a little spicy, but not overwhelming. Good flavours and yummy dal goodness. I'm sure it's not a "traditional" dal, but that's what I get for making it up I call it 4 servings because I eat a lot. My folks ate 1/4 of the total dish with some bread, but I just ate it as is with some yogurt. Here's the nutritional breakdown per serving:
Spicy Chicken Dal (serves 4), 1 serving
Cals 346
Fat 5
Protein 36
Fiber 18
Check out that fiber and protein - Super, super healthy! Really pleased with this :bigsmile: Yea, it's carb loaded. But whatever! Super yummy too!
OK I'm headed over to Ty's to finally catch up on the Survivor season finale. Hectic and crazy day but life is good. Hope you folks are making the best of it!

Wow, thank you all for your responses. I'm really glad to know that I'm not the only one who has been here. I think I'm going to put the scale away for a few weeks (maybe just until the end of the month). I'll just be super diligent with my exercise and keeping under my daily calories. I'll see how things are at the end of the month and reevaluate. I used to be so carefree about what the scale said! And now that it isn't moving, I'm going bonkers!
Meag -- thank you, as always, for your knowledge and insight and articulation of exactly what I need to hear. I am so glad I found this thread and have you to inspire me and keep my rear in gear! How is your foot doing, btw?
Leela -- I've had similar struggles with my husband. He is super supportive and understanding of my recent running/fitness habit, but he has no interest in joining me. I have a lot of 'real life" friends who run and workout with their significant others and sometimes I think it would be nice for Matt to join me. So instead, I use my running and workout time as "shanny time" and enjoy the other things Matt and I do together. We just acquired some mountain bikes, so we're going to start biking together. So maybe y'all can find something fitness related that you both enjoy.. like disc golf or bowling or something.
AFM -- as of about 30 minutes ago, I'm officially a Couch to 5K graduate!! Up next is One Hour Runner. This is the first fitness-related thing I've ever finished, so I feel pretty amazing about that. It's probably the biggest NSV I've had to date, and I need all of those I can get!0 -
Aly- I absolutely LOVE the dress you ordered. I'm sure it's going to look so great on you!
Hope everyone is doing well today. I am lacking energy again today... did more yoga though and I'm getting rest (at least I'm accomplishing two goals I set for myself)! I followed up with the doctor today, I can't go on heart medication because it would drop my heart rate to about 40bpm, and that's not safe either. So until the cardiologist can give me an ablation, I'll be taking it easy on the cardio and sticking to yoga so I don't have another heart attack!
Have a good night ladies, I need to get some rest- got lots of stuff to do tomorrow and I'll be talking people through workouts instead of actually doing them (it's TORTURE)!0 -
Aly - LOVE LOVE LOVE the dress! I'm a fan of pink as well
Tara - Good luck at your potluck! Those things are hard...but it sounds like you've sorta got a plan of attack in place, just eat a bigger portion of whatever it is you're bringing and less of everything else. Let us know how it went!
Meag - WOW the protein and fiber stats on that recipe are amazing! I love having recipes that are low fat, high fiber and high protein. That is one I am going to add to my list for sure!
Shannon - Congrats on being a C25k graduate!
AFM, I had a pretty good day today. Worked out pretty hard at the gym. I did some interval running on the treadmill and also took a body sculpting class, which was good since one of my goals is to do strength training twice a week, so I just have to get another one in to achieve that goal! It was tough though because I haven't done strength training in a while...I KNOW I am going to feel it tomorrow haha.
I'm meeting with my friends tomorrow for happy hour...you all know how THAT goes lol. Lot's of cheap drinks and cheap fatty appetizers for all. Oh boy...0 -
~Meag.... your funny, I would NEVER guess you were a closet BsBer. Your so "grown up" lol. (welcome to our club!~!) Your dinner sounds awesome! I def want to try it. I have been getting bored of the same old, chicken breast with 3 veggies so I dont feel left out of the noodles. I think its time to branch out!!~!! Weird question, have you ever made your own Granola Bars???? I want to make something delicious but the only thing I can bake is Cake from a Box. So I figured if I could make up my own recipe for Graonla bars, that will give me something else to snack on!~! I am just confused at where to start???
~Allie.... LOVE your dress!~~!~!~!~!~! I was born in PINK~!~! my mom made me wear purple til I was six, so now a wear pink whenever possible!~!~! The dress is the exact style I have been looking for! Good Pick!~! Its so awesome, your going to be soooo perrrty!~!
~McBody.... I so impressed with your determination to exercise!~!~! It makes me feel like a spoiled brat being able to do all the cardio I want and NOT doing it!~!~! So, if you dont mind, I am going to do cardio until you can not. How many days a week and how long is your cardio WO. I dont think I will be able to do what you do, but I am sure gonna try. I cant get my but up for myself, so maybe doing it in your honor will give me the boost I neeed!~!~!~!
~Shannon... congratulations!~!~! you rock!~!
~Tara... Pot Luck day is over!~!~!~! Dont worry about it any more!~!
~Leela... good luck with your NSV of logging your food with your boy here. I hope you enjoy your time with him. !~!~!~!
AFM.... I got my hair done today. I like it. It is exactly what I wanted, but for some reason I am not super excited like I want to be. I need to get to the gym and have a good workout. I dont know why I cant keep motivated. Its like every other day is a rest day for me. I do NOTHING but walk. The hardest part is being depressed. I dont want to move, walk, talk, see people. I jus dont want to do anything!~!~! I know I have things to look forward to and I am proud of myself, now I just need to get my body to get up and get going.
Me and the hubby booked a cruise for July 9th. Its a night cruise and my FIRST ONE EVER. I want to be comfortable enough to walk around in my bikini and put on an awesome dress every night for dinner!~!~~! There is a gym on the ship that NEVER closes, pools basketball court and volley ball and mini golf. So there isnt really any excuse to spend too much time laying around. except of course to get the BEST TAN ever and make all my friends jealous!~!~!~! We have already planned a snorkeling excusions in Croatia and a 4 hour wilderness hike in Slovenia. The other ports are two different ports in Italy and our final destination is Venice. I am thinking Bari Italy will be a beach day and Ravenna will be a walking exploration day. We can book a tour guide but we would much rather get a map and get lost in the city. We tend to see many interesting things that way. With a tour guide we could learn stuff, but we enjoy ourselves and get some awesome experiences walking around alone!~! We figure we can learn about history in a book. In Prauge we had no idea how old the buildings were or which famous dead person walked down the center square, but we fell in love with the architecture and got amazing pitures of some random park at night. I would like to tell ppl that I stood where So and So stood, but I had more fun following the clouds around the city!~!
I hope Italy will be the same way. I am going to do a little research on which city is more walkable and which beaches are nicer. I am also trying to keep our costs down as much as possible!
Wow, look at all the rambling I did.... I will stop now!~!0 -
eeeek i have't been on here since friday!!! so much to catch up on, so little time! :noway:
i don't have a ton of time sadly, but just a few quick comments and hopefully more to come later!1
aly - LOVE the dress! its so sweet! that color just makes people want to hug you - great choice for your engagement party - you will be getting hugs left and right
meag - ummmmmm i am going to BSB too!!! at fenway park in boston with NKOTB!!! soooooooo excited! WOOT WOOT!
tara - potlucks are near impossible to evaluate what you're actually consuming in calories, which usually frustrates me to no end haha. however i also think this - before i started on my "health journey" i thought of events like that as free "stuff your face" days - where no one would judge me for eating like a pig because everyone else was too :bigsmile: now, i realize that even if i go over my calories, im STILL being SO mindful - i am actually aware of my choices, including the conscious choice to go over my cals for the night most often! but i can guarantee you my "going over" is SIGNIFICANTLY better than it would have been in the past - and i am SURE the same is true for you. life has events, and we go to them what matters is that we cannot be derailed from our overall mission, our overall comittment to live happy, healthy lives - no matter what comes up! no potluck will ever take that away from you - i've seen your dedication on here and you should never worry about that! :happy:
and i know this was the QOTD yesterday - but my favorite time of day is post-workout time usually now-ish (between 7:00 and 9:00 in the morning) - i feel accomplished and motivated and healthy and AWESOME!!!!! :bigsmile: 0 -
Morning ladies and happy Tuesday!
Well I guess a quick little update-y-ness from me first:
I got a call yesterday morning re: a job I applied for in March, working for Torstar Media Group TV. He asked me to come in last min for an interview, so I ended up canceling my plans in the afternoon and driving over for a chat. It went well. Sounds like a really promising job with a ton of growth potential, so it was definitely a positive experience. TMGTV is still a relatively new station and their company is still gaining its footing in the industry, but they've seen tremendous growth in the last 2 years and the position I applied for is actually one that is just being created now, so it would seem that the successful hire would have a lot of freedom and control over the development of the role and it's place in the corporation. Very exciting.
So that happened around 10am... :laugh: Then I went to the gym and ran some speed intervals quickly before I had to get ready for my interview. While I was at the gym I ended up getting a call from the LCBO offering me the job I interviewed for at the end of April... What a whirlwind day of job prospects! Once I got home and had my protein shake I called them back and they asked me to start tomorrow... So my first official shift is tomorrow from 9-5. Craziness. Especially since I'm supposed to call TMGTV back today regarding this other position (which is significantly more lucrative but also comes with a lot more uncertainty in terms of job security). Coupled with all other life stuff these last 5 or 6 days have just been so overwhelming... So much change and so much uncertainty. I so badly need a workout! haha
Anyway, that about catches me up. I have a LOT of errands, shopping, and general running around to do. I'm also planning to get in a spin class at lunch hour, make those chickpea almond cookies which got put off yesterday, and throw together something for dinner (likely pork tenderloin, sweet potatoes and roasted veggies). Busy day!
J- You are SO right! And I'm glad you said it, and not me :laugh: I get so caught up some days thinking "I know how to do this right, how to eat healthy, and how to fuel my body well, so why am I screwing it up?" when my choices are still a hundred times more balanced than they would have been months ago. We can't lose sight of our progress and we definitely can't strive for perfection without expecting to hit a bump in the road now and again. I know that I still struggle with negative thoughts any time I eat processed carbs (last night at dinner I felt such satisfaction sitting with whole grain bread all meal without touching even a morsel - why?) and that my standards for what I should and shouldn't be eating are drastically more strict than they need to be for maintenance, but I also have come a long way the last month or so in realizing that it's OK to only be "really good" 80-90% of the time. We need at 10% or so to account for life getting in the way of our plans and messing them about. It just happens and we can't beat ourselves up. It doesn't derail us. Each and every time life messes us about and then we get back on track without missing a step should trigger a major pat on the back, not a stern hand-slapping. We're learning to LIVE healthy - the key being that we are LIVING. Living life, being human, and making concessions. Instead of punishing ourselves for living, we should be celebrating our determination and strength to stay the course despite all it's challenges. So I'm glad that you've recognized your progress and you can see how much change you've made already. Keep it up! :drinker:
And for those of you going to potlucks or eating at big functions... A few good tips if you do want to count:
1) Always use a plate and cutlery. Don't just graze. You will invariably eat more than you want.
2) Use a small plate - sneaky but it works
3) Put whatever you want to eat onto your plate first, then if you think you might forget, take a quick pic with your phone of your plate so that you can log it later. This will help you to reference portion size and remember exactly what you ate.
4) If you're going to have desserts, use a napkin instead of a plate. You can only juggle so much
5) Go in knowing you are going to treat yourself with a few items, but load up on veggies, salad, and other healthy foods first. Decide what you want to pick as your "treat" items by surveying all your options first before serving yourself. Then treat and ENJOY. If you have a bite of something and you don't overly love it, leave it on your plate. No sense wasting the calories on something that isn't worth it!
Kan - Granola bars - yes! I mean I've never made them myself but there's a million recipes out there for super healthy ones. Are you looking for plain-ish ones, ones with lots of nuts and seeds, or what? What kind of nutritional profile are you looking for? I know some people on here are more hesitant with healthy fats than I am, so figures I should ask. If you search the forums I know there are a bunch posted but let me know and I'll send you one or two I have on the books :happy:
JustBreathe (Jess, right?) - Thanks! Yep - it's a mega healthy recipe and delicious to boot! Loved it :bigsmile: I'm going to be testing out a recipe for curried millet tomorrow in the crockpot which sounds fabulous - Around 120cals per cup, 2g fat, 4g each fiber and protein, and chock full of awesome nutrients. Dried grains, beans and lentils are definitely becoming a big part of my diet lately as I am trying to ease out of my carb-phobia. I'll try my best to post recipes as I go! :bigsmile:
Shanny - Foots doing a lot better actually. Healing up nicely. Haven't had too much trouble on it lately, which is a nice relief. Thanks for asking, dear :flowerforyou: Congrats on finishing up with the C25K and rocking it so hard. I am really excited to see you start the One Hour Runner program and to celebrate in your victories with you. Keep it up, even when it's hard, girl. It will pay off in the end. I promise! <<hugs>>
Wow this was SOOOO not short and quick. Like always! :noway: I'm a mess! haha

Good morning ladies! Happy Happy Tuesday!!!
I woke up this morning at 5ish to go for my morning swim. I managed to go and swim for 40 minutes pushing fairly hard. I also didn't have a headache or the spacey feeling I get in the morning(that could be from the ice cream last night hehe) Another weird note, Yesterday was so cold and I was so tired I ended up having leftover pizza for lunch, I was good and only have 2 pieces but was upset...But! I didn't have a headache all day. When I got home from work the fiance made me some chicken soup and I had ice cream for dessert, felt a little guilty but let it slide. Now I have been headache free for almost 3 full days! This is truly amazing. I wonder if my calories are a little low for my exercise...not sure. But I am going to stick with it for now. If it seem like it feels that way after a week I will bump it up to only losing .5 a week. So with that I am not going to feel guilty or upset about yesterday. I was tired and I still made better decisions than before. Today I am ready to conquer the world. We are also looking at another possible venue this evening.
Meag- That is so great about all the job prospects! I am so happy for you!
Kancrav- A cruise sounds awesome! Let me know how it is, we are thinking of one for our honeymoon.0 -
Where is everyone today?? hehehe0
-
Hello everyone!
Aly-Beautiful dress!! Its going to look great on you! And congrats on no headaches for 3 days! I have got migraines since I was 7 and after alot of docs and prescribed meds its been a long journey, but I choose to not take meds everyday and try to live without them if I can. I was at one time considering acupuncture, but I ended up going to a chiropractor who did some adjustments on my neck and stuff and I ended up being Migraine free for a month or two. It was amazing!!! So if the acupuncture doesn't work you could try a chiropractor.
Meag- Congrats on the interviews and jobs!! I hope you choose the best one for YOU!!!
Kan- OMG YOUR CRUISE SOUNDS AMAZING! ITs just the vacation you guys need! Sounds like you guys have most of everything planned out! How long is the cruise?
AFM: My back is healing nicely! I enjoyed the Sunday weather of about 80 degrees and went on a 10 mile bike ride...so much fun!! I was looking forward to today too! Until I woke up to rain and now snow.Boo for cold weather again. At least the snows not sticking. Hope everyone is doing great! I go to California in about a 8 days to see friends and for a wedding! I am sooo excited!!!!

Just dropping by to say Hi, I'm alive, still exercising, still logging, just so swamped at work its not even funny- Tomorrow is my Friday so first thing Thursday morning (if I can't manage to find time tomorrow) I will be responding to all of you lovelies
Megan0 -
Wow. it's been way too long! Glad to see everyone's doing well!
meag- there is NO shame in some BSB lovin! I love them!
shannon- I know EXACTLY how you feel! Only I'm not losing inches either. :ohwell: Plateaus suck. Keep going though and stay positive! There's lots of support here!
leela- what is this Gryffindor Harry Potter challenge?? I love me some HP!
AFM: Not much to report. I guess you could say I've temporarily fallen off the wagon. I haven't been to bootcamp in 2 weeks. I'm currently homeless.. ok that's a little dramatic. I had to move out of my oncampus room last Thursday and my lease on my apartment doesn't start until this Thursday soo I'm just kind of floating around living out of boxes and staying at friends places or my fiance's place. So that alone is making it REALLY hard to make good food choices. I can't buy groceries and I have no where to cook... so it's pretty much whatever I can pick up. I really hate it. I can't WAIT to be in my own place in just 2 more days and live a normal life again!!0 -
Meag!! I almost forgot I am totally a BSB fan! I have tickets for BSB and NKOTD for their concert in July! SOOO excited about that!0
-
Shannon-I think it is a great idea to put the scale away for the rest of the month!! Allie and I are doing this until the 1st as well(we started last Thurs) and so far so good!!! You just do what you know is right....don't worry about the scale...and then see what happens in a couple of weeks! and CONGRATS on finishing the C25K program...that is awesome!!! :drinker:
Mcbody-sorry to hear that they haven't quite figured out your meds yet...give them a bit to re-evaluate your specific situation and I am sure that they will come up with something to get you back to doing cardio ASAP!!
Justbreathe-great job on getting in that awesome workout!!! how are the muscles feeling now?! LOL My tip for happy hour...rum and diet, lite beer, or champagne are your lowest calorie choices, and see if the have lettuce wraps and stay away from the nachos or chicken wings...those are your WORST choices!! good luck!
Kandace-thanks girl how did you get your hair done....take a pic!!?? Very awesome about your cruise...I have never been on one either (or out of the country for that matter!) but it sounds like you have a lot of great plans in the works for it! and one more thing to add...even if you don't get to the gym for day, don't worry...just keep moving!! Continuous walking for at least 30 minutes is still considered aerobic activity!
Jennelle-thanks for your wise words again!! I made it through the day and I know that I did do way better then I would have in the past...you are right, that is what matters! time to be me and kick it again!!:smooched:
Meag-first of all, CONGRATS on your job offer and job interview...I am sure that you will pick the right one for you (while picking it though...remember your happiness DOES matter!) Thanks for the potluck tips...the 2 that will help me the most for future PLs will be...taking a pic of the plate, and not finishing what I got if I don't like it!!:bigsmile:
Aly-great job on gettin in the swim!! and no worries about the icecream...everything in moderation right?!
Alexis-glad to hear that your back is feeling better!! way to get in the bike ride and have fun in Cali!! (I wanna go! LOL) :laugh:
Megan-hang in there!! seeya when you get back :flowerforyou:
Em-glad to hear that you are getting into your own place soon...that would be super hard to diet/eat right/exercise and just LIVE in general!! almost there...
AFM-ok...I made it through my potluck...over on cals but like Jennelle and Meag said...still way better choices then I would have made in the past! I just need to remember in the future to step away from the dessert!! LOL :noway: Today is another rest day for me but my cals are just under my 1200 and with NO WI tomorrow I am not stressing my weight at all...exactly 2 weeks until June and until I can weigh myself!! (still haven't stepped on the scale btw)0 -
Hey Ladies! Well I managed to turn my night around, with the thanks of some major cuddles and love from the boy
He's pretty sweet when he wants to be!
Just wanted to post a picture of the cookies I baked today. Use the recipe posted above but altered slightly to include the following:
1 cup chickpea flour
1 cup brown rice flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp (or so) sea salt
1/2 cup almond, cashew and peanut butter
4 Tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup (a bit less actually) coconut milk
2 Tbsp almond meal, for dusting
Combine dry. Combine wet. Mix together. Spoon onto parchment lined cookie sheet using a small ice cream scoop or melon baller of sorts and bake in a preheated 350F oven for 10-12 mins. Allow to cool for a few mins and then transfer to a rack.
They turned out great ! Not too sweet, good dry cake-y texture (perfect with coffee, IMO) and the nut butter isn't over-powering. Next time I think I'll try it with PB and perhaps a different combination of flours. Loved the chickpea flour but I may swap out the rice flour for something else... Suggestions?
Alright, I have to be up in 6 hours for this work training business. Time to get some sleep. Much love, ladies! Keep rockin' it! 0 -
~Alexis... my cruise is 6 night 7 days. I am SUPPER excited and I am in the process of buying rediculously fancey dresses to weaer every night to dinner. LoL.
~Meag.... last night a guy in my meeting told me to ask The Big Guy Upstairs for help when I need it. But he also cautioned me that I might get some help!~!~! Your 2 jobs sound like you asked for some help and He helped!~!~! But you still have a hard decision to make. You will choose the right one, I am sure of it. Congrats!~!
I want a fun granola bar. I am ok with it being high in cals cuz then I can just have it as my 2nd lunch instead of a snack. But I dont have many fancey things here (like agave nectar, I see that in alot of recipes). I need something simple that will taste good. Maybe with some room for chocolate chips?? lol.
~Tara... congrats on not WI. Your doing awesome!~!~! how does that no stress feel???? Pretty nice I bet! Rememeber that feeling for june when you start WI again, dont stress out, it makes it not fun.
~ALlie..... I WANT TO SEE BSB..... what the hell!~!~! I am like the biggest bsb fan EVER and I am always on the wrong freakin continent!~!~! I went home to philly last summer and they were in germany. now I am in germany and they are in the freakin states. I just cant win!~!
~emmarie... take it all in stride!~! Just think of how much you are going to appreciate cooking and eating healthy once you get settled. I dont see a cheat day in your future for a long time!~!~.
AFM...... I had a MUCH needed meeting last night. I have had a horrible week. My mind is soo mean to me. I also have my group today (a bunch on recovering addicts sharing, kinda like an AA meeting, just in our doc) Im pretty excited for group. I think I have the courage to say some things that I need to. I am realizing that holding in all these feelings and horrible thoughts is a bad bad thing. They are just festering and getting worse. But I will be better by the end of the day!
I walked alot yesterday and spent 2 hours at the gym. I got my 2 miles in on the TM in 25 min. And I spent 25 min on the eliptical. then I worked on my arms and my abs. I spent alot of time on my abs cuz I feel like I am doing it wrong!~! I am breathing when I contract my abs and I had my husband check my form. IDK I guess I think its wrong cuz I dont feel sore when I do it the next day, maybe I am just a champion. lol.
Everyone have a FANTASTIC day, I think I will be back later, but it is so nice outside that I might just find places to walk around today. I dont know, I dont have a plan... and I am OK with that. Really.0 -
Hey all! Hope everyone’s is having a good start to the week. Today I was supposed to have a couple meetings at work..which for me who works nights, meant that after working 11pm-7am, would have to go home, sleep a bit, then go back to the hospital for meetings, then back home to hopefully sleep again before returning tonight for work… oh and did I mention that I have a 4 hour workshop this morning after my shift? Ugh! Well fate was on my side for once, as we are being inspected Wed, so my manager cancelled the meetings, yay! I got in a great run in prep for my 5K this weekend.. I did 3.25 miles in just over 32 min, so I think I’m looking good..
The past few days, I think ever since the room spinning episode, I’ve been feeling weird at work. I think I’m looking at the computer too much and I feel like it’s causing me head issues.. hard to describe but in the front of my head I feel somewhere between lightheaded and dizzy, not pain like a headache.. I think I need an eye doc appt. After I leave, and at home I’m fine, weird.
Kandace- WTG with the belly shot! I don’t think I could put mine on here any time soon, unless I sucked it in super hard.. If only I could just walk around like that all day, I’d be a bit more secure lol. Best part of wearing scrubs every day- no feeling fat haha! Instead I actually feel great b/c most of my stuff is big now, well big for scrubs lol. Hope your meetings are helping, and I totally agree with the holding in of feelings. I can get so stuck on an issue, esp when it comes to work that if there’s a problem I can’t stop thinking about it, and lose sleep, appetite, the whole thing.. let it out girl! The cruise sounds so great! One of the best parts is getting dressed up! I feel old fashioned sometimes, but I wish people would get dressed up more for functions at night, whether it’s dinner or seeing a show.
Tara- still no scale for me! Don’t sweat your potluck.. last night my coworker brought in donuts, and while I was on break I managed to eat almost 2 of them… totally mindless, and it wasn’t even worth it b/c they were a bit stale, and yet for some reason I just kept chewing til finally I said, this is just gross and chucked the piece I had left. Ugh epic fail..
Meag- congrats on the job offers!! And the cookies look great! I’ve never heard of chickpea flour, where do u get such things? And that’s great that Tyler redeemed himself after being not-so-great earlier. Like I said on your status, when it comes to working some deviation of a 9-5 job, it’s very easy for the rest of the world to forget that you have to have habits that go along with an off schedule. Hopefully the new job will give you a more regular schedule..
Shannon- congrats in finishing C25K! will you be doing a race soon?
Megan- glad to see you check in and still keeping up with the workouts and all!
All I got time for unfortunately, have a good day all!0 -
Kan-thanks again girl my NO stress is slowly becoming stress!! LOL I may not make it the whole month without weighing...just a prewarning now!I am glad that you were able to get some things off your chest at your meeting and what an awesome workout to follow!! great job sista! *high-five*
Allie-great job on getting in your run!! I feelya on the work schtuff...I had a meeting last night, and then CPR after work in the morning, and I signed up for an extra 12 tonight!! WTH!! LOL I still haven't weighed, but this is "wrecking" me, not only mentally but physically as well!!! we may need to have a lil talk!! LOL :sad:
AFM-just keeping up with the thread!! As I mentioned to Allie...not weighing in may be an epic fail for me very soon!! easier said than done!:brokenheart:0 -
OMG! BSB and NKOTD tour is going to be in Hamilton on the same day as the wedding in Aug - SUPER LAME! :grumble: Oh well! Im sure there will be yet ANOTHER reunion tour. These people just never give up :laugh:
Kan - Ill post one when I get a chance, but you can sub agave nectar for honey or maple syrup. You may just have to use a little more since I believe agave is naturally sweeter. Google it! Recipes are not meant to be followed strictly and granola bars are the easiest to alter. Just use whatever you have, girl!
Allie - Bulk stores/whole food stores should have it in stock. But it's also common in East Indian cooking, so any East Indian grocer would have it as well. Also known as Besan, I believe. The nutritional profile is stellar and it's a very versatile flour. I'm excited to cook and bake with it in the future!
Alright, off to training now. 9-5 at this LCBO job and then errands, dinner (curried millet stew!) and then shopping for some business clothes since I have yet another interview tomorrow with Torstar. Send me some calming vibes, folks! :ohwell:0 -
Good morning everyone!!
I would attempt to go back and reply to all of the wonderful things you all have been up to but it might take me a million years!!
So I will just let you know what I've been up too. I have been CRAZY busy at work. So far this week I have worked 10 hour days every day, and of course last week I was also working 10 and 12 hour days. Needless to say I am super excited because I have tomorrow and Friday off! YIPPEE! But everything that I have been working on has come to a close, so while I will still be extremely busy because I just have so much stuff to be working on, I won't be working 10 hour days anymore. And the best part of all is that my presentations for all of my projects went swimmingly. The Senior VP told me excellent job several times. So while it has been rough on my intercation with you wonderful ladies, it has been successful!
On another note- I weighed in on Friday and hit 40lbs gone, like I told you ladies, and then on Monday I was up a pound so that's what I logged, but I think I just didn't drink enough water on Sunday because I weighed in today and I am back to 40lbs gone. I am not logging it as an official weigh-in because that's what Mondays are for, but it still feels good to know that it wasn't a fluke! The trainers at the gym were asking me all sorts of questions like what motivated you and how awesome it was that I've been able to do it. I made me really proud of what I've accomplished so far. I have a long way to go yet, but I know I can do it!
So thanks ladies for putting up with my slackyness on here, promise that now that things have calmed down I will be all up in this joint! hehe
Megan0 -
Morning everyone!
Shannon- can I be completely honest with you? I think that you are not giving your body enough time to adjust to the different changes you have tried the past few weeks (upping calories and zig zagging). You really need to try one new thing and stick with it for a few weeks and then see how your body reacts. At this point you don’t really know which one was working or not working because you jumped from one to the other. Just my thoughts based on what I have been reading on here. In complete agreement with Meag! As for the C25K you KILLED it girl!!! Great great great job!!!! So freakin proud of you – now I am just going to keep harassing you until you sign up for a 5k… teehee
JustBreathe- like everyone else said… WELCOME!
Leela- thanks lady! I hope that you really get to enjoy this time with your boy! Relationships are really tough and doing the long distance thing makes it even harder. Just take it one day at a time and keep focusing on you and keep reminding yourself that in order to be healthy in a relationship you need to work on yourself and get yourself healthy. You deserve it!!!
Tara- glad you are comfortable with the reality of the potluck. You can only do so much! Just do what feels right for you. If you set yourself up with an all or nothing attitude for this scale thing it is almost as bad as focusing on it every day. You are doing such an amazing job finding a healthy balance don’t let not weighing in become an unhealthy obsession (hope that made sense haha)
Meag- mmmm that recipe sounds fabulous! Keep us updated on the job situation! And the cookie pic looks INCREDIBLE!!! Definitely going to have to play with the recipe a bit myself now and see what I can come up with to suit our eating habits… WOO WOO!! You got this lady! Both these opportunities at once may seem overwhelming but its just giving you the chance to figure out whats best for you not just taking a job because it’s the only one! <<CALMING VIBES>>
McBody- I am sooo sooo glad that you are feeling better. Like you keep saying just take it easy and take care of yourself chica!
Kan- cruise sounds INCREDIBLE!!! We are getting married in 4 months and honestly we still have NO idea what we are doing for our honeymoon. We really aren’t in to the whole beach honeymoon scene and we are doing a family reunion cruise in January so those options are both kinda out. We would love to do something where we can be outdoors and do a lot of hiking and whatnot but still have the luxury to go back to at night and be spoiled a little. We shall see we shall see!!! Rock on with your bad self and that belly picture! You are just making tons and tons of advances with your NSV’s (IMO that is the most important part!!!)
Janelle- I love your favorite time of the day! Never would have thought of that but its SOOO true!!!
Alexis- This weather business is crazy here too!!! Oh well just have to make the best of it! I am just hoping that all of this rain now means a nice sunny day for our wedding in October… hehe
Megan- we MISSS YOU!!!! But SO SO happy that things have been going well! Its great that we can all be super active on here to keep us going but sometimes we need to just focus on our every day lives. The important part is that you kept taking care of you and did an AMAZING job!
Em- holy moly lady! You DOOO have a lot on your plate! Wedding is coming up soon too right? Deep breaths deep breaths!
Allie- glad you got some down time instead of meetings. Take it easy lady you need to listen to your body! Definitely may want to think about getting in to see someone… eye dr sounds like a good start
AFM- just the usual. Been doing good with the food (haven’t been logging again… no particular reason why just get burnt out with the logging but I am ok with it because I have still been really staying on top of it and that’s what its all about!) I went and did a free session at a local crossfit gym… I know I know I know Meag you HATE it! Its crazy to pay that much money BUT I LOOOOVED it. It was me and 3 other women there (plus the coach) and it was just super motivating to see these other women that weren’t afraid to be lifting and having fun with it. They were amazingly welcoming and we chatted a bunch after the session. It was also awesome because it was SO much more intense that any workouts I have been able to do on my own. I learned some great new techniques and the coach was really good about correcting more form when it was necessary. Unfortunately, with the expenses and us trying to conserve for the wedding it was pretty much out of the picture for us being able to pay for it. That night I was telling my rents all about the experience. The next day out of no where my dad called me back and said they wanted to pay for 3 months for me as an EARLY birthday present (my birthday is at the end of July… hahahaha) They just said they were super proud of how hard I have been working and they loved seeing me so excited about fitness and exercise and competing (they hadn’t seen me this into something since high school before I broke my femur). It was such a sweet and unnecessary gesture from them but felt really nice. Growing up we lived pretty frugally and I think it always bothered them that they couldn’t do as much for us as they wanted. Which was fine because we always had what we needed and were loved but I think that now that they can do a little extra here and there they really like to try. Anyway, enough babbling from me! Just waiting to hear back from the guy and hopefully I will be starting there end of this week/ beginning of next week. I think the intensity of these workouts plus my running training will be a great combo for me!!!
Hope everyone has a great hump day!
-Cait0 -
Hey everyone, there is far too much going on this group to comment on everyone.
AFM- I was feeling amazing yesterday and I was so happy that I was feeling good, then in the afternoon/evening I started feeling headachy again
today I had a bit of a headache but I Think it was the protein. I really hope I can find a permanent solution for these headaches. But the good thing is that it is improving. I really need to focus on getting a lot of protein throughout the day and not letting my cals get too low. This is really hard trying to figure out how to lose weight but also eat enough to fuel my body for workouts and my headaches. But I am going to truck on and make it. I might be tired from doing 2 early morning workouts in a row. I think I will have to balance it out and have 2 evening workouts the next two days and see how it goes. 0 -
Happy Hump Day y'all!
I miss out on one day and there is TOO MUCH to comment on on this thread lol. I did read everything though, I promise!
AFM, I had some computer drama at work that I had to deal with, got the dreaded BLUE SCREEN and almost had a panic attack lol. But it is being fixed now so I am much calmer. I didn't get a chance to hit the gym yesterday because I went to that happy hour that I was telling you guys about. The damage? Not too bad! I actually ate a little bit before I went, had a salad since I knew there would be no veggies at happy hour haha. And that actually helped out a lot because when I got there I wasn't completely starving so I was able to just have a few bites of each thing instead of scarfing down all those empty calories. Tried to convince my friends to order a fruit/veggie and cheese plate and that was a no-go lol. Oh well...
Gotta hit the gym after work today...I committed to burning 2500 calories for this week and so far have only done 733, so I really need to get on it!
Have a wonderful rest of the day! Jess 0 -
Meag-it was your first day on the new job today, right??? how did it go!? *sending some calmness* your way!!! good luck for your interview! :glasses:
Megan-CONGRATS on the compliments at work and on at the gym...you must be flying on cloud 9 right now!!! keep up your great dedication/motivation like you show on here, and I am sure that you will go very far in all aspects of your life! :flowerforyou:
Cait-yes, it made perfect sense!! LOL and you are absolutely right...the obsession is still there even without the scale!! I have decided to chill out on the whole issue, and will do what I know works best for me and see where it brings me on the 1st, in the meantime...no more stressin for me! I am glad that crossfit went so well...and it was super nice of your rents to get you that for a b-day present!!! perfect timing for the wedding too!!
Jess-great job at happy hour!! time to get your butt to the gym for that burn commitment you have for the week!! good luck! :laugh:
AFM-I have decided to pick up an extra 12hr night shift at work tonight so today's cardio is getting pushed back to tomorrow's rest day!! I did manage to find time to get in my 10min ab routine for the day though still!! Still NO scale for me...and I am becoming ok with that again!! SWEET!!! 13 days to go ladies!! 0 -
Hey Ladies!
I’m sitting in class waiting to present so I finally have time to actually look on the computer and don’t have to waste anymore time being away from the BF
Kandace: First of all, I LOVE your picture. You look so healthy! I’m wicked proud of you for posting this! I’ve never been on a cruise either. I’d love to go on one! Italy is fabulous! If you could get to Florence, that’s my favorite city there. And great job with keeping up with the walking and exercise! It sounds like you got a fantastic workout in!
Meag: I’m SO EXCITED for the promising job offer! You can finally get a job that you can love and enjoy and doesn’t make you want to through your boots at everyone lol. Oh, and I love your idea about the napkin desserts and the small plates, AND taking a pic. I sometimes forget if I don’t log it right away.
Aly: I’m sure the answer is yes, but you have talked to a doctor or specialist about these headaches?
Alexis: YAY for your back feeling better!:happy:
Megan: Thanks for checking in! Glad to hear you are still doing alright. And WTG on getting appraise from a VP! You are kicking your work’s butt! And Congrats on the 40lb loss!!
Emmarie: OMGosh! :noway: At least you can stay at your fiancés that but that is really rough. It’s got to be hard to worry about exercise and food when you’re don’t even have a place to call home, but you can do it! Just try and log what you can and use Meag’s idea of taking pictures of what you eat so you can log it later ☺
Tara: YEAH for keeping up not weighing in! And great job for being aware during the potluck and making smarter choices than you would have in the past. Life’s all about making the right choices and getting better.
Cait: I’m glad you had such a great time at the Crossfit!! (what is crossfit?)
Jess: Great job at happy hour! :drinker: That is definitely a hard situation to be in but I really think you played it super smart by eating a bit before you left so you wouldn’t get there starving.
Phew! Ok I caught up with everyone!
AFM: I actually got the BF to come to the gym with me on Monday (we did lower):happy: :happy: and I just spotted him a lot and showed how to do the right form. And I think he actually had fun. He said it wasn’t as bad as he expected and didn’t really feel like he was surrounded by a bunch of meat heads. Like I told him, no one really cares about everyone else, we are all just there for ourselves. We ended up splitting the cost (well it’s on my card, but he’s paying me back by picking up some other supplies for his stay. And we’re going back tomorrow, and things are going really great. I’m soo happy we came! And at Saturday we’re going to go to the gym to play some sports there! So that’s all I got for now, crazy day. Worked from 8-4:45 flew home for 5 minutes said hi to the boy, grabbed my school stuff and left.:yawn: Now it was a meeting and class from 5-9pm. And I have a presentation to give too.. And I really have been eating less but at least I get to come home to a cooked dinner. I love him. 0 -
Megan -- sounds like you deserve those days off. Enjoy!! And congrats on hitting 40 pounds lost. That's an awesome accomplishment and you should feel very proud of yourself!
Cait -- Thank you for being honest. I completely agree with everything you said. I think I'm just going to relax and stop stressing about trying this and trying that. I'm eating healthier, I'm exercising more than I have in forever, and I'm losing inches. Logically, the scale should move eventually. I just need to be patient and stop trying to find a quick fix I think. As for the 5k... I'm having a hard time deciding what to do about a race. I wrote about it in my blog, but I kind of feel like if I enter a race, running goes from something fun and personal to work. Or it could just be that I'm a weenie and scared... lol! :laugh:
Jess -- I got the blue screen of death about two weeks before my Master's thesis was due last year. Luckily I had backed my thesis up online and on external storage, but the immediate sense of panic that set in was no fun. Good luck with the 2500 calorie burn! That's an awesome goal!
AFM -- Starting One Hour Runner today (in a few minutes, actually). At this point I'm just looking to increase my endurance with running. I've been helping a fellow PhD candidate with a sampling project. It has me working 10+ hour days in the unrelenting sun and heat on a landfill. I'm constantly standing, lifting, walking, carrying, etc. It's a dirn good thing I love what I'm studying! I'm also probably burning a ton of calories all day, which is a-ok by me! 0 -
Hey ladies!
Well, I genuinely cannot give up more than 5 mins today so decent responses to your posts will just have to wait. Or they may just never materialize. I'm sorry if I've missed any questions or anything important. I've read and considered, but just have absolutely no energy and time...
Tara - Today was training day and it went well, thanks! :bigsmile:
Cait/Shan - You guys are spot on. Pick ONE course of action and stick with it. Trust yourself. And have patience. Constantly trying new things and not allowing time for it to "stick" is going to just lead to a lot of frustration. You've just got to learn to trust - It's the toughest part, IMO!
Cait again - I am curious how you would change the recipe - it's totally clean as far as I know and the nutritional stats are fab. How does it not fit in with your eating habits? I think your diet just totally perplexes me, to be perfectly honest Learn me something good! I sense I could learn a LOT from you given the chance....
OK that's all I've got time for atm. Did some shopping today after training and dinner to pick up something to wear to my 2nd interview tomorrow (since I am seriously lacking in professional wear). Shopping in this "new" body is still suuuuch a trip. Since when do I say things like "Is size 2 the smallest size you carry?" or "Do you make anything in an XXS?" .... ??? It's crazy! In some ways I feel great being able to try EVERYTHING on (finally) and know it'll fit, or at least do up, but it's frustrating that my body tends to look so weird in certain clothing. Shirts are *really* hard to find and I ended up buying just a nice patterned skirt and a sweet dress (for tomorow). I'll have to figure something else out as far as tops go... But for tomorrow, I'm going on a bad-*kitten* run instead of worrying about it. I'll just rock the dress and feel fabulous!
Anyway there is loads new but I can't really catch up. Wish I could keep up with everyone but I am definitely falling behind. Promise it's not personal For those of you I haven't kept in touch with, I hope everything is going GREAT! You all rock so, so much! :drinker: 0
