I am still in and out of doctor's offices trying to figure out what is going on with this body of mine. Interestingly enough, I didn't have any issues with my health until I started losing weight. go figure.0 -

@loveme - Wow, you're doing great!!
Yesterday's goals (Tuesday)
Fitness: 40 mnts - done
Diet: within MFP, no food after 10 p.m. - I was close. I was just a few calories over, and had a small handful of almonds around 10:30 p.m. I'm fine with this.
Today's goals (Wednesday)
Fitness: 40 mnts
Diet: within MFP, no food after 10 p.m.
Challenges: just the usual!!
Starting next week, I'll be super, crazy busy. I'm not sure how my body is going to keep up. On MTW's, I'll be at work from 8 until noon, and in class from 3 p.m. to 8:50 p.m. It will be a challenge to get in a healthy lunch and dinner and fit in some exercise. I will burn some calories in class b/c it is nursing skills.
I haven't decided whether I'm going to go home for lunch (it is an hour out of my way), or find somewhere to sit and eat and relax before class. Either way, I'll have to bring dinner with me every day. Maybe, I'll pick up some of TJ's salads for next week's dinners. I'll be on this schedule for 6 weeks. I just hope to stay healthy.0 -
wendy-I love Kashi cereal!
loveme-I really like jerky, it's a ton of protein for not much food and hardly any fat. I've really been enjoying eggs lately. Nuts are good too.
change_happens-That stinks! I hope everything I hope they figure stuff out for you soon.
MY DAILY GOALS:
FITNESS: 30 minutes of intense exercise. I've been exercising every day, but I have been doing light exercise since I've been pretty busy and tired.
DIET:Lots of fiber and fruits and veggies.
CHALLENGES YOU ANTICIPATE: Avoiding junk food.0 -
Change Happens - Sorry to hear that you are unwell! I have been battling anemia for the last 2 years and the docs are finally trying to get to the bottom of it. I've been on extreme iron supplements for most of that time and my hemoglobin is still 8.2 - 8.9. I am literally tired all the time, but I have life to live so I push through.
Launa - You will get through it! It will be good practice for you for your future career. My mom is a nurse and I remember many days that she was simply too busy during her 12 hour shifts to eat a meal. It was all about grabbing a snack (hopefully healthy!)
Love Me - Wow you are so inspiring! I am starting the 30 DS on Monday. Yeah!
Billy Joe - I am right there with you on the exercise. it is hard to do my exercise when I could sleep standing up!
Still hitting the protein to get under 800 a day, but I went a little over. I am ok with it though since it was lean protein and only 40 cals. I had gained 2lbs from my 4-5 days of freedom, but it is now gone so any benefit I will get from cycling should start happening.0 -
Lana~That's a hectic school schedule. Planning your meals with be your best option for those 6 weeks.
BillyJoe~Thanks for the suggestion. The only thing I worry about with jerky is the high sodium. Do you know any good jerky with low sodium?
Wendy~YAY! You will have a love/hate relationship with JM but its a great workout! Enjoy!

I have finally done it! 50 on the nose this AM! Would have gotten there about a week sooner, but I took my little break (and then some) and had to lose a few extra to get back to my starting point.
My mom is coming down to see us next Friday and she hasn't seen me since I weighed about 40 lb's more so I am super excited to get some new flattering outfit to wear when I pick her up at the airport.
Since Mom is coming I have major work to do this weekend! The kids rooms are a disaster and I need to scrub the massive amounts of tile floors in my house. Oh, windows, windows, windows, and 3 setsof sliders to clean! Needless to say this will be my excercise for the weekend!
Not really worried about my diet either since I will be sooooo busy!
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -

Rene and Lana - Today is a new day so it doesn't matter if you had a couple of not quite perfect days! I had a great weekend until last night when I broke my "no food after 7:30" rule. I had some crackers (FlatOut Edge 4 cheese . . . . mmmm) and worse I didn't weigh them to measure my portion. Sat with the bag. BAD! Anyway, moving past it and started my day off right with a protein filled breakfast.
I am starting 30 DS today. I will share that I am nervous about doing it. One, I just worry that I won't be able to make it through. I have seen a number of much more fit people than me not complete it. So I will need you to PUSH me to get it done every day. Two, I am worried about the scale. I know that my muscles built will weigh more than the fat that I lose, but I have lived by that scale for 4 months so it is hard to break the tether.
I think I will have my husband hide it for the duration.
Today:
FOOD: Stay under cals (this part isn't very hard) with NO snacking (this part has become more difficult since I started allowing myself more carbs)
EXERCISE: 30 DS
CHALLENGE: Need to get to the store to get my weights for 30 DS
Happy Monday! Only 5 more work days until my staycation!0 -
@Wendyc - WTG on starting the 30 DS!! It sounds like you have a plan to make it work!! I think it is a great program, and you'll feel great once you complete it!!
I did not have a good food day yesterday. I ate every snack within reach. I think I was nervous about my class that starts today. I'm not going to beat myself up about it, but I realize that I can't keep doing that throughout nursing school!!
Sat. & Sun. goals
Fitness: 40 minutes exercise - reached both days
Diet: 10 cups water -- reached on Sat., but not Sun.
Mon. goals (today)
Fitness: at least 40 minutes exercise
Diet: stay within calories
Challenges: I have 12 hours work/class, MTW, so it is going to be a challenge. I have my bkfst, lunch and dinner with me, and I also brought almonds for a snack. I will have time for walking break between work and class, so that will be good for the exercise.0 -
Actually, they will be 13 hour days. I can't count.0

Wendy~How are you doing with the 30 DS?
Lana~How was your first 2 days of classes?
MY DAILY GOALS FOR TODAY (Weds):

loveme445-That's a good point about the sodium. I didn't think about it because it's not something I track or worry about too much. I was reading something the other day that there is some brands out there with lower sodium, but I don't remmeber what they are. Or you could make your own.
wendyc-That's amazing! Congrats on hitting the 50 mark!
MY DAILY GOALS FOR TODAY:
FITNESS: I want to get a more intense work-out in.
DIET:Keep junk food consupmtion to a minimum. I ate 3 donuts yesterday... I was under my calories, but still.
CHALLENGES YOU ANTICIPATE: Staying away from the donuts.0 -
Classes are tiring!! My schedule is so packed, that I haven't been able to fit in homework (let alone, exercise). Today is my last day this week of 13 hour day. Yesterday, I managed to fit in a 10 minute walk around the campus on a break. I think we'll be practicing moving patients today, so I will get some exercise.

Wednesday (today) goal:
Fitness: at least 30 minutes exercise

Sorry I dropped off while mom was visiting. Totally abandoned my calorie counting, though I didn't go overboard. Definitely didn't stay under, but not too far over.
Back to counting and keeping myself under today! I am actually looking forward to some healthy eating! No exercise planned for today though with Trick or Treat with the kiddies planned. Although I will be walking. Keeping the youngest on track be a bit though.
Anyone stuck in all that snow?
Goals:
Diet: Track everything, stay under cals, carb, fat. HARD AT IT UNTIL TG!
CHALLENGES: With trick or treating not sure what or when I will have dinner. Although I think that I just came up with a plan,
Happy Halloween!

So I have been doing JM No More Trouble Zones, but not as often as I should. I definitely need to start toning.
@Lana Donuts are terribly difficult to resist, you could call it your Halloween treat maybe? Hope between school and work you are able to find time to work out...life is busy and it doesn't seem to ever slow down, so it is hard to find/make the time to work out. Also, even though you may not meet your challenge goal, it is definitely good to keep going and do what you can, good luck!0 -
RESULTS FROM TODAY (TUES) :
Fitness: Ripped in 30 & C25K~Done!
Diet: Under Calories, Under Carb Goals & 12 Cups of H20~Done!
GOALS FOR TOMORROW (WEDS) :
Fitness: Ripped in 30 & 4 miles of Exercise
Diet: Under Calories, Under Carb Goals & 12 Cups of H200 -
Rene and Lana sticking with it is the most important thing!
Rene - I am going to start the 30 DS again this week. I didn't do it at all when mom was here and this week has been crazy with Halloween and All Saints Day church stuff yesterday. Today I have to get my son caught up on his homework. So I am going to commit to starting again on Friday.
Jennifer - Welcome back! With you in the toning department. When I was swimming it was a great way for me to tone, but the pool is waaay to cold for me now. Keep telling the hubby we need to get the heater cranked up!
Goals for today:
Stay under cals. Won't lie and pretend that I am even going to try for exercise today.
Challenge: The jar of candy that some saboteur has put at the receptionists desk! Evil!0
