Motivated Momma's Week 4 (closed group)

daisyelaine

Phew! Just looking at this challenge makes me tired! Great job girls!

Tasha, LOVE the self esteem challenge! I have one I'd like to share right away: I am proud of the strength I am gaining. When I first started this I could barely do 1 girly-style (from the knee push up). Seriously! ONE pushup was too much for me! This morning I was doing my 30DS workout, and as many of us know JM loves her pushups and I was able to do 30 seconds of pushups. Yes, they were still girly-style (I mean, c'mon I still weigh 225lbs!) but still, I could do them, with good form, without stopping and it felt good!!! And as she announced that it was time for the next move I was like "wait a sec... did I just do that?!?!" so I am very proud of myself for that!

Renu, I think you may be trying to kill me with the core work but I love you for pushing me girl!!! I'm gonna kill those bonus points baby!!!

Yaay for endurance!!! I still do the Knee push ups.. someday, I dream of doing them on my fists!! ( although, not really a huge dream.. I'm guessing I'll still hate them at that point too!! Lol..)

daisyelaine

I am very annoyed today.. not for the weight gain.. We bought a racquetball few days back and I had decided I am gonna play daily in the morning time as the court will be available in the morning... But, one of my hubby's colleague had taken it 2 days back and we kept reminding him to return it.. Even yday night we reminded him to return, but hasn't returned it yet.. I am so so angry because he is spoiling my exercise plan.. When he comes to return it, he is gonna get it from me and I am going to tell straight forward that I wont let him take it again...

I saw that you got to get out tonight... did you put the fear in to him?!? LOL...Too funny. You'll have that 3 lbs dealt with in no time with your rage!!

daisyelaine

I'm excited to share my weigh in with you all. I weighed myself this morning fully expecting to not lose anything (since my weight loss has dramatically slowed down), but I was shocked to see that I had a 2lb. loss since last Wednesday! I was so excited that I woke up my husband to tell him, he had to get up soon for work anyways

Last week's weight: 129 lbs.
Today's weigh in: 127 lbs.
2 lb. loss


The 2 hardest things for me for this week's challenge are going to be:
1. Doing something different for exercise, as I have a routine that I stick to and don't really try new things, LOL
2. No eating after 8 pm, as my evening snack is usually between 8:30-9 pm

Yaaay! That's awesome! Just when you think it's slowing down, hey? And, not weighing yourself for a week made it THAT much more exciting!! Lol..
And you can do it-- step outside of the box!!! :happy:

daisyelaine

I wasn't sure where we are posting out weigh in... so I will post it here too!

My Progress
Starting MFP Weight: 286.6
MM Starting Weight (9/21): 267.4
Week 1 Weight (9/28): 269
Week 2 Weight (10/5): 268.6
Week 3 Weight (10/12): 266.6
Week loss/gain: -2

I am very excited about this weeks weight loss. I finally lost 20 lbs! What a great feeling!!!!! Only 15 left to reach my first mini goal!

YAAAAYYYY!! 20 lbs is awesome!!! I'm close enough to that one to taste it too-- I just have to live vicariously through you right now!!
And, "powering through" Slim in 6?? Holy moly! That's awesome!!!!

daisyelaine

OK, im so amped and ready to get through this weeks challenges, I fell off in a big way over the weekend and having a sick kiddo didnt help, Im feeling like im catching whatever he's got today but Im still gonna power through and get it all done...(told my husband this too and he said thats because you're "super freakin' awesome mom" LOL). Posted points and weight on the week 3 thread, only 0.6 lbs lost this week but atleast I didnt gain!

Your hubby is right.. you ARE a "super freakin' awesome mom". And don't you forget that!!!

Emotional Challenge Day 1:
One thing that I have accomplished so far in my journey is much more energy. Sure, I'm still tired and would love to just veg out on the couch some days, but I'm able to do so much more now than I could/would before. For example, when we went to DisneyWorld in July/August this year, we walked ALL DAY LONG for like 11 hours and I was tired, but before my journey started there would have been NO WAY it would have even been possible. So, my extra energy makes me feel great because I am able to be around and more active with my boys.

It's awesome how the changes you make in your life can make it SO OBVIOUS on how they are making your life better. You REALLY got to enjoy your time with your family on that one-- something that you might have even dreaded before. Yaay! (hugs)

Emotional Challenge-1

I actually had a conversation today with a friend ( who is now on MFP, as of a few days ago) who got me talking about my journey. She was SO happy for me to make it down to the 180's ( I had done a weight loss thing with her before that was unsuccessful .. and was at 220 then..[ she had done very well with it then, but is now back to her original weight..]), and I lapped it all up. So we got talking about all the things I had learned about myself since then, and all the changes that come about with weight loss. Most important to me were the mental things-- a LOT of them, emotional challenges from here! I think that taking the time to really do the mental and emotional crap with weight loss is something that I've never done before-- and my mind and body feels SO much better for doing it this time. I KNOW that it's a journey that has no time limit. If I'm up a week or two, not a big deal. I miss a few workouts here or there.. not a big deal. It's certainly a lifestyle change this time, and my family and I are benefiting from it no matter what ( plus, it's a little easier to do it without any freak out stress! Lol..). But yeah, I feel stronger than I have in a long time.. not just physically. Yaaaayyy!!

Todays total: 5 Points

I love this answer, the emotional challenge when I first started all this was just a rough idea I had, I know I have "issues" to deal with and it wasn't just the food and lack of exercise thet got me here. I am glad it has become a permenant challenge in our weekly challenges.

I think my calories burned are off. Since I've started this new lifting program all of my sets are super sets and I'm only getting about 30 seconds of rest in between super-sets. The first 2 weeks are full body work-outs, ten exercises are only taking 30-35 minutes or so, and by the time I'm done I'm sweating and out of breath.
If I buy a HRM then I can't get new weights til next month, and I really need heavier weights. Anyone know any way to do this without a HRM?

Check out this article of a "Refeernce Guide to Exercise Intensity":
http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_articles.asp?id=1044

There is no great way to calculate your calories burned without an HRM however that being said, as you get closer to your goal weight and get to a higher level of fitness, the difficulty in burning calories increases dramatically; what I found is that initially MFP was pretty spot-on the calories burned estimates but as I find myself more fit, the calories burned is off by approx. 30 - 50 % depending on the exercise. Just "listen" to your body, trust yourself to know when you truly NEED more nutrients vs. just emotional eating. My thoughts are that I would go with the weights; HRMs are nice but I just use my body as a guide (not as accurate but you will know when you are off by the results you get).

I also really recommend checking out Jillian Michael's book "Making the Cut"; she talks about how the last 20 pounds has to be "attacked" completely differently than your initial weight loss. She also has a podcast-radio show that's free on iTunes that is really quite good in terms of having some excellent information & discussion on health & wellness.

Hope that helps a little!

Self Esteem Challenge Day 2: What am I proud of today? Well, as some of you may have noticed from my status updates, my *kitten* hurts. A lot. Which had me worried that something was wrong. I mean, I've done the 30DS workout once before and I never felt like this. I felt tired and winded and some muscle ache but not this deep muscle ache I've got going now. So last night I was chatting with my husband and in the course of that conversation I realized that the reason I'm feeling it more is because I am doing each exercise with better form. I am going deeper into my squats and lunges. I am attacking each move with everything tha I've got. Not that I wasn't giving it my all when i did this workout the 1st time almost 2 months ago. It's just that my "all" is a hell of a lot more now! Not only that but I'm able to move through each circuit without stopping and wheezing to catch my breath. After realizing this I was so excited for today's workout I had trouble falling asleep! And this morning I really paid attention to my form and realized that even tho I naturally keep my eyes on the chick with the "beginner modification" moves my body is getting a LOT closer to the "full force" gal on the left. Goes to show that mind body connection. Even tho mentally I still feel like a beginner my body is natrally pushing harder. I've talked before about the "fat-girl" mentality I'm plagued by. Apparrently my body is sick of taking that crap and is ready to prove exactly what I am capable of!!

So I had an awesome workout again this morning. And my butt still hurts. As do my quads and my shoulders and my abs... but you know what? That's the kinda ache I can and do take pride in

Cardio Challenge: 5 Possible Points
Created by Nathalie

Part 1
It's easy to get bored of exercising or to get complacent. In order to keep losing weight and getting fit we need to keep challenging our bodies, and in order to not get bored we need to try and find exercise we enjoy. Try something new this week, a new sport, a new class, a new piece of equipment in the gym or even just a new dvd! Post ideas on here for different things for others to try.
You get 1 point for each different new exercise you try up to a total of 3 points. Don't feel like you have to do 3 though as it is a big ask in a busy life!

Part 2
Log your calories every day - 1 point

Part 3
Beat last weeks calories burnt - 1 point

Hey all noticed a bit of confusion happening with the cardio points. Part 2 and 3 are worth 1 point each for the week NOT 1 point per day. The total cardio challenge as laid about by Nathalie is worth 5 points. The breakdown is above. So only claim a point for parts 2 & 3 if you complete the challenge by the end of the week.

I'm totally cool if we want to change it to daily points but then we need to make sure the group is all on the same page. Thoughts?

Wow! This is an awesome challenge for this week I'm still learning how to get to the weeks thread but I believe I've gotten it figured out was wondering how do I get the logos on my posts gained 1.3 pounds since last week. The emotional challenge is very different for me especially since I'm always beating myself up. Everyone feel free to give me pointers:happy:

rapitup

Love the emotional challenge this week here is my first:

Havent been in this transformation mode very long but me just taking the jump by myself and wanting to change is a big accomplishment for me! So far I've lost 5lbs just because of the weight I gained on yesterday I normally give up but I've decided to hang in there until the end! I know that about 3 in one post but just a little bit over :bigsmile:

Last week weight:267.4
This week weight:268.5
gain: 1.1:sad:

For Wed:
Strength
~monkey abs & airplane abs~ done
Food
~kitchen closed at 6:45~ done
~over 8 glasses of water
Cardio
~tried Butt Bible video, not sure if I liked it, not much of a burn, I'm going to try it again on Friday.
Emotional
~ I think I've realize that I'm not as dependant on the scale as I thought I was, when I stepped on the scale Wed morning and saw I had gained a pound, it wasn't a big deal, I didn't get that huge sense of disappointment that I would have felt a month ago.

As soon as you post on the team thread it will show up in your "My Topics". So you just have to go to Message Boards - My Topics and it should be there. We start a new thread every week so next Tuesday evening/wednesday morning someone (most likely Karie - NewLife_11 or myself) will post a note on the thread that includes the link to the new one. Then you jsut post on the new one and again, it will appear in your My Topics.

I give Karie huge props for including the emotional component in this and our previous challenge. At first I thought it was kinda random (sorry Karie! lol!) but after a week or two of the insightful questions I truly recognized for the first time in my life how deep my emotional issues about food, self image and my weight go. By particiapting in the emotional challenges I've acknowledged and started to deal with some deep issues and I honestly don't belive I would be having nearly the same suceess or motivation to keep going.

We all have faced issues of self esteem, some worse than others. Personally, I beat myself up all the time. But I also know that as I gain confidence in myself I do so less and less. So please feel free to share openly as you go through this change. Glad you are with us!

Well, I didnt do my emotional challenge for yesterday, I got my workout in and did the strength and the hundreds...which werent as hard as I thought they would be! Last night things went south real quick though and I ended up doped up on cold meds curled up in a ball on the couch all night (GRRRR) and its official according to the doc we all have the flu YIPPEE :grumble: I told him thats fine, give me some meds so I can get back to my normal self and work out this afternoon. And he told me to take a break for a few days:frown: IDK how Im gonna do this! Im gonna gain so much weight back its not even funny!!! :sad:

Here's my points from yesterday and I'll try to get something done today...I hate feeling like im letting everyone down!

Strength-1pt 1 bonus pt
Food-2pts(no food after 8 and WAY more then 8 glasses of water)

Emotional challenge day 2-
My biggest thing is not seeing what other people see. I never have EVER, but not when someone says "Hey have you lost weight?" I can look at myself and say "Well yes I have!!" and actually believe it! I am far far far away from being comfortable in my skin, but I think seeing the differences in myself, and believing when other people tell me I look good, is a HUGE baby step in the right direction.

renubhat_82

Emotional challenge 2- Yesterday I was playing racquetball and planned to play only for 20 mins as I thought I wouldnt have energy to play for longer.. But I ended playing for 35 mins and I was still not tired but my tummy was asking for more food as I was damn hungry.. But still I wanted to exercise more, so worked on strength for sometime and then treadmill.. Earlier I used to make excuses for not working out but now I make excuses for working out..lol.. Energy level has increased so much.. I completed 100 lunges, 75 sqauts and 50 situps and I was not tired yet.. Wow I am loving because it has increased my stamina and what better can a dancer ask for...Yay!!

Also, racquetball got me 1 point for yday for trying a new sport, 1 point for kitchen closing before 8 ( i was damn hungry in the morning), 1 point for emotional challenge- total 3 points

Emotional Challenge Day 2-
One of my accomplishments has been eating. I used to eat WAY too much, way too often and way to fatty and high in calories! My husband and son ate whatever I ate and so they were eating the unhealthy foods too! Since I started this journey my eating habits have slowly changed and so have theirs. We hardly ever eat out anymore, we eat less fatty foods and we eat structured meals and snack less. My husband sometimes says, I am so happy we are eating healthier, I don't even like the really greasy foods anymore. I couldn't agree with him more! I don't like the taste of really greasy foods anymore! Also, our portion sizes have changed so much! I made tacos last night and realized I was so full after 2 and so I stopped, before I could have eaten 3 or 4 and maybe would have felt sick later for it!
I am so happy that we made this change now before my son developed the same bad habits we had!

I am so happy that we made this change now before my son developed the same bad habits we had!

TAsha, I couldn't agree more! I am so grateful that my hubby and I have taught ourselves about good nutrition and healthy eating habits before we exposed our son to our previous bad habits. Glad to hear that your changes are positively affecting your family as well :happy:

♥Amy♥

Emotional Challenge Day 2:
I am proud of my healthy/healthier food choices that I have been making since starting my journey. For example, today I had a doctor's appointment and decided to run errands in that town while I was there. I left the house at 9am and didn't get back until 3pm. What I would have done *before* is just stop at any fast food place that looked good and get some greasy fried food and eat way too much of it. Instead today, I still stopped somewhere, but I chose ChickFilA because they have good salads that are pretty filling too. I ate a salad and after lunch, Casyn got some ice cream (HUGE treat for him, as he hardly ever gets any) and I just sat there talking to him and taking pictures of him. The "fat girl" inside of me was telling me to get some cheesecake or a milkshake or some ice cream, but I knew that if I did eat it, I would feel bad bout it and I didn't actually NEED it.

Day 2
Today at work we got a big shipment of boxes and in the past I would call our maintenance guys to come and get them but instead I went down the snowy hill and helped the UPS guy bring them all up, he was surprised and greatful I could tell. It added a great workout to my day, it is amazing how many more things I do now knowing they will burn those extra calories. While working on the computer at worked today, I turned the music up and danced while working, that was a great little burn too!

I went for a great little 20 min walk and 18min jog tonight with my little guy in the stroller so that was fun! Hope you all have a great night.

One thing I am super proud of so far is that I can Run! I started slow walking 5min then running 1min, now I am able to run for 30-45min straight, let's just say it is more of a slow jog than a "Run" but I am still feeling like it is a great accomplishment.

SO happy and proud for you!!! You should be proud!
