Back to 126.4 after a weekend away. Not too pleasant...I'm actually about to head out for a guilt run lol0

Hey ladies, I really need some advice. Today started my TOM and ive been eating everything in sight. Im 400 over, so im feeling a long workout later. How do you all suppress the cravings and what snacks do you eat instead? Im already expecting a gaon for tomorrow, since I always gain during my time, but I need help for the rest of the week!0

HI All! I have to admit, that for the first time since early July, I am nervous for the weigh in! Since I got back on track in July, I have never posted a gain - I stayed the same a couple of weeks (literally down to the ounce which is odd)...
I was at my sister's (out of town) with my DD5 to help my BIL, Sis, & their DD2 (my sister is 33 weeks prego w/twins, was in the hospital 3 times last week to stop pre-term contractions, and has insulin dependent Gestational Diabetes)... add in that all the IV's they gave her seemed to go directly to her ankles & feet... Yikes!
So, me being there let my BIL get out for a bunch of errands - but I was too nervous to leave my sis alone in the house - and her DD just turned 2, so you have to watch her non-stop (not to mention they don't put her to bed until 10ish, and I was frustrated that my workouts never happened - but they were so thankful for my help, I couldn't complain).
I pre-cooked & brought dinners... packed some healthy snacks - but found myself doing nervous nibbling ... and then when I got back home, I sort of had a run-in with some chocolate cake & cookies my hubby brought back from a party. Ugh!
I am glad we have had our wagon discussion - because I have mine right here with me - I may be clinging, but I refuse to fall off!
So, I have the alarm set for an early AM workout - will be planning my workouts for the rest of the week shortly.... and we'll just have to see what the scale says in the AM!
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
Hugs,

Hey all,
The last few weeks have been really hard for me. I fell off the bandwagon really bad this last week. My eating was ok, but I quit going to the gym at least 3 days a week. Dealing with a bat of depression since being home from my vacation over Labor Day weekend. But I know I need to turn things around and get serious about my goals. I will be going back to Virginia for Christmas to see my boyfriend...and I really want his mouth to drop when he sees me at the airport
Any tips on keeping focused? I am a vegetarian, living in a non-vegetarian household...so it's been hard to eat healthy. Oh, one of the reasons I quit the gym last week was because it was getting boring. I wanted more variety in working out. Or working out so that it didn't feel like a workout, if that makes sense. Today, I jogged along a trail by my house for almost a mile, and then uphill walking for another mile...followed it up at home work a half hour of yoga, and then three hours of walking around downtown up and down hills.
Anyway, I hope everyone else is doing well and keeping up the good work! It's all so worth it
As far as focused - coming on myfitnesspal.com & catching up with all that my co-challengers are up to is inspiring - I also like to check out the success stories. Another thing I do is to browse some online stores for outfits I would like to wear once I am at goal weight & envision myself wearing that dress (dorky, I know!)
For workout boredom - for one, I cannot workout without my ipod (I have one of those $50 mini ones). I just flip thru until a song strikes my fancy, and that gets me going. I also like to play with the treadmill hitting a 3.4-4.0 speed (whatever feels good that day) then each minute up the incline until I reach the top, then back it down 1 incline each minute until I'm back at the bottom. I'll do the same with speed - marching up from a 3.5 & up to as fast as I feel I can sustain for a minute, then work my way back down.
What about trying a class? Last year, I challenged myself to try 1 new machine, exercise or class a week. It was fun & really pushed me out of my comfort zone.
Hope these help!

I am struggling with this for the first time in 3 months. I don't know what kept the cravings at bay the other times - so if anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears too!

Thanks Amy...I'm slowly getting back into it. I talked to my boyfriend a few times over the weekend and he helped cheer me up, as always. Also, I had to go to David's Bridal this weekend and try on a bridesmaid's dress for my sister's wedding (next September). A year and a half ago, I was barely in a size 16 dress....today I was in a 10 (I'll need a 12 if I stay the same weight...but it almost zipped completely up!!!), so that was a nice ego booster.
Anyway...I'm going to start doing some working out outside of the gym. Too much repetition and it bores me. I do have my music with me too, and that helps, I definitely couldn't do it without it.
I wish I had the energy to keep going w/o it being a struggle. I'll get up at 4:30 to go to the gym by 5, then go to work from 7:30-4:30, home by 5, then I log in for school and do that for a few hours, have some dinner, and pass out. 16+ hour days!! Enough complaining!!!
Thanks for the advice Now that I know I will be going back east for Christmas (not thanksgiving) I will be working harder to get to my end goal.
Thanks again!!!! 0 -
Well...I'll stay with the scale, but I can understand why some want to skip it for awhile. My doctor was pretty adament that I needed to pay the most attention to what and how much I was eating if I wanted to lose weight.
I work at telling myself the scale is just about the facts, nothing else. It doesn't show the number of calories I've burned all week and it doesn't show the extra calories I didn't eat all week either. It only shows the weight I am at that exact moment. I'm okay with finding out that fact AND I'll continue giving myself credit for the calories I burned all week and the extra calories I didn't eat that week, too. As long as I'm sticking to my plan...I can deal with today's scale rollercoaster.

FitJ1210 - "Kristen I'm still staying if that is ok?" That's fine. Please post inches lost, when you can, and I'll incorporate it into the chart.
nwohler - "already below my first mini goal. YEAH!!" Yay! Good for you!
fatchristine - Nice challenge idea!
jklm - I got your message.
Sorry this is so short. Crazy weekend! Good luck on your weigh ins tomorrow!!0 -
Hey, sorry I've not been around much this week. I rediscovered my love of cross stitch and have been busily stitching away. Not had a very good week with eating and exercising and I stayed the same weight this week.

Lets shake our selves off and refocus. I know I have too. My weight this week is 144. Im up three pounds. I ate everthing in sight. I find when Im mid cycle I get the major sugar salt munchies. So. I'm dusting off the cob webs and going back to the C25k. I saw alot of progress and it didnt kill me.
Have a great week!!
lady.. this week WILL be better....:flowerforyou:
Thanks Pam!! Im ready to start shaking:)0 -
CW = 193.8
PHEW!!! By the skin of my teeth, I somehow managed to stay exactly the same as last week (it always amazes me that that can happen, down to the 10th of a pound)... but anyway, I know that I technically "gained" b/c I was down a pound earlier in the week. So I guess that's what 5 good days, 1 so so day, and 1 bad day can get you.
Off to a good start today, and I am going to really try to hit -2.8 so I can make my 1st minigoal! Hugs all! amy :0)

I bounced back and forth from 217 to 216 all week.
I'm really upset...but I honestly have been really busy with working my job on nights (my main job) and then my landlord at the last minute wants me to clean apartments as soon as I get home from work. I'm usually very exhausted come 2pm. This week will be a better week however...since I am off 5 nights in a row starting Thursday night. Hope you all did well!!! I must lose 3 pounds by next week to hit my mini goal. 0 -

Good morning, everyone! Here we go...another week. I did good on the exercise challenge this week. Bumped the time I exercised for the week from 290 minutes up to 385 minutes. So I worked out for an average of 55 minutes a day this past week. That's pretty good for me with my crazy busy life. :happy:
Did terrible on the fruit/veggie challenge. Veggies...no problem, fruit....boo! :ohwell: I did eat some fruit, but not every day, and not nearly enough.
Since I also take my measurements every week, if inches lost are going to be incorporated into the new chart...let me know. Also what would I be adding up? Inches lost from...where? I measure neck (never changes), upper arm, bust (can't afford to lose inches there, lol), waist, abs, hips, thighs, and calf.
I also liked the idea of a challenge of picking an outfit out to wear that I don't fit into right now...and working towards the moment when it fits. I actually have such an outfit in my closet. It's a black jacket (gorgeous cut) with matching dress pants. Still has tags on it. I bought it about 2 years ago when I had lost weight. Didn't need to wear it at the time, but just loved the way it looked both on the hanger and on me. Well....2 years later, I couldn't wear it if I wanted to. I can get the pants on and zipped, but I look like a stuffed sausage in them! :laugh:
Good luck on your weigh ins....and let's all have a good week!

Feeling so down. I have been starting the day great, but by mid-afternoon, it's like I lose all self control. I haven't been able to exercise the past two weeks due to a hurt neck, but it's feeling better and I'm going to refocus now.
It's hard to pull out of a slump! Any advice out there? ;-)
