    biked an hour, swam laps for 40 minutes and have a short run (maybe 20-30 minutes) planned for this evening!! bought some healhy snacks while i was in town today to keep from crashing on the way home or binging on cr*p once i got here. hate spending money (although it was only 1,61 for an apple, a plum and two wheat rolls) when i have so many good, healthy snacks at home, but really proud of myself for not splurging on candy or worse!
    am remembering how happy i was with my body and my weight a few weeks ago keeps me motivated to get back on track! also, i'm getting married a second time back in the states in august so i really have to keep it together! (to fit into that darn dress again!!!)

    Having healthy snacks at hand is essential for me, too.
    That beach scene is getting closer!!!!
    wahooooooo!!!!!!!!
    :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
    I have a confession:
    I ate a donut today. :frown:
    But I'm happy to say that it made me realize that I've resisted donuts for over a year. I really wanted it... I carefully considered...I thoroughly enjoyed it...
    then I worked it off tonight.
    I burned 1100 calories!:bigsmile:
    Today is my 4th day in a row burning over 1000 calories. See what a good influence you are on me?!
    So now I know I can have just one & work it off & still get back on track.
    Have a good end to your week!
    :wink:

    I had bodysculpting today. The trainer loves to come up with crazy new exercises. Today, he had us doing those forward row thingies--using those resistor bands and spin bikes! Because those things are so heavy, they're great for resistance training; he uses them like heavy furniture.

    Afterwards, I did some extra lifting. I'm really trying to focus on lifting HEAVY. I forced myself not to count reps and just kept going until I couldn't do anymore (I think it was around 11 though). Gotta be hardcore!

    After that, I wound up having to do some unplanned for ninja works. A friend had my blender but he'd left to go study. His window was open, so I crawled out of mine, scampered over the roof, and snuck into his room. I grabbed my blender and walked on out. I NEEDED my post workout shake, dammit!

    Everyone, y'all are a bunch of badasses. I don't think I've ever burned 1000 calories in one day!

    have been taking it easy the last few days due to crazy neck pain/sprain. will try to get out for at least a short jog or something today to get me going again.
    am with you mya - when i eat too many "different" foods, everything gets all wacky. i like to eat a variety always - but mostly want to stick to what i know!

    I had lunch & dinner BOTH out yesterday with a lot of window shopping in between. After logging it all this a.m., it looks like I did better than I thought. I feel like I have a hangover, but my food diary looks pretty good! :wink:

    Mya-Hang in there & enjoy your time.
    Awestfall- 6 miles is great!
    meijse-Take it easy with that sprain. That's too bad.

    Lol, I brought it today, but only in terms of school work. I am SO busy right now. It's worn me to the bone. I made to spin class yesterday and did my weights, but today was a no-go. I'll do some pushups before bed.

    But, I have not let my food slip. My "high stress treats" are all within my macros and calories, such as a 1/4 cup of Lucky Charms on my cottage cheese. These keep me sane without going "PIIIIIIZZA!!!"

    Ugh, exams and final projects. I am so sleepy but sleep is fleeting.

    Honestly, I'm not upset I missed the gym today. My poor body is TIRED. And tomorrow I have bodysculpting. :bigsmile:

    I hope everyone else's week is as good as mine.

    I'm having a great one!
    :bigsmile:
    I took my 3rd graders on a field trip yesterday (it was sooo much fun!) & all my walking & biking has really paid off. On the steep half mile hike out of a canyon, I was huffing & puffing & sweating, but a mom chaperone (who is much younger than me, but about the same size) nearly passed out from the strenuous hike. She mentioned to some of the others that she was surprised I was able to do it.:blushing:
    That felt SOOOOOO good! :glasses:
    I didn't work out last night after I got home, but I was back at it today!
    It really isn't just about the numbers on the scale!:wink:
