Hi ladies...

I'm seriously losing motivation and getting bored with dieting!

What do you all do when you're feeling blah about it all? :huh:

missmez

I've been looking and waiting for those yummy cheerios here in Canada with no luck yet. I'm also waiting for the chocolate mini wheats - what a great idea for snacks at my desk! sigh... gonna have to be patient I guess - or take a trip across the border to buy some!

I live in Alaska, and sometimes we don't get things, either... I wish we had a Trader Joe's like everyone talks about... Since I get the Cheerios, maybe I can mail you some!!!

Hi ladies...

I'm seriously losing motivation and getting bored with dieting!

What do you all do when you're feeling blah about it all? :huh:

It can get so hard sometimes to continue on-but it's so much easier to think of it as a lifestyle change, and not as a diet! When I get the urge to do something unhealthy, or skip a workout, I always consider the alternative-I got to this weight BECAUSE I ate badly or didn't work out... And I didn't feel happy afterwards. It's the reason why I'm changing now, right? The last thing I want to do is go right back to where I started... Keep your chin up, and it WILL get more easy-more like the way you've always lived, and not like a temporary change!:drinker:

pepamint83

Ari, I had those Cheerios for my snack yesterday night, and so did my husband! Oh my, were they yummy! My husband LOVES banana bread, so I think he found a new favorite cereal!


im corupting u all with those cheeros but they are so good fav breakfast besides honey nut teressa i ment u b4 when i wrote meg sorry tired,

kim i think u just described the polar opposite from where i live new york state maybe a little but city fagetaboutit. (and yes i have what some may call an accent but not as bad as it could b lol)

tpday beautiful but stuck in office tom walking this weekedn the 80s come back to ny so happy spring is finally here

kimlee

Resa - Thanks for the well wishes. I iced my knee a few times last night and am in my brace this morning. Hopefully the combination of rest, ice, and bracing will help it heal soon.

Pep - You wanna talk accents - at one time I had an extremely pronounced Southern accent. 4 years of college in Atlanta helped it to lessen - but now that I am back in the country it is getting worse again.

I think I am going to have to try these Cheerios ya'll keep talking about....

PunkinHeadsMOMMA

I feel like Poooooooop:sick: :sick: :sick: T-O-M Sucks!!! I have crap to do this weekend (like plan a 1st bithday party:sad: for my baby girl) and numerous other things. I can't be bothered with feeling like a limp piece of gray poo left in the sun to bake! It's a good thing I didn't tell you how I really feel:laugh:

hopetobeinshape

Hello all, Im back!

Kacee I too feel like poo, Im not sure why though. My head hurts my tummy hurts. I am not sure if my body is crashing from exams or what but I want it to go away :explode:

Kacee I hope you feel better!

MissResa

Meg-welcome back!!! We missed you!!!
Kaycee-I hope you feel better soon; try to enjoy yourself for your little one's birthday! They grow so fast!
Pep-I had more cereal for my snack yesterday! I'm officially addicted to them!

Well, this was the first morning that my husband and I tried to work out together-6:15 is when we started things off. Things did NOT go as well as we expected-my sister's spastic dog drove us crazy for the first 15 minutes, my oldest daughter woke up(over 1 1/2 hours earlier than usual), and to top things off, I started feeling sick again last night and couldn't sleep until after 12:30, only to be woken up at 3:45 by my littlest one! Ugh... He's working night shift, so we wanted to try to work out when he got home in the morning, that way we could do P90X TOGETHER... It feels like everything was against us, you know? We're trying it again tomorrow morning... Hopefully everything will go well then!

pepamint83

oh teressa ok well just try again it can get better

So in addition to getting a bunch of crap done around the house, I was looking forward to walk/jogging today. Then I woke up to 4 inches of snow. Well, at least I've been catching up on laundry.:laugh:

hopetobeinshape

Kacee- when does it usually snow there til? :noway: It's almost May! and I thought Minnesota was bad for winter :laugh:

Ari- enjoy the weather, its pouring rain here

Resa- I know how that goes with the crazy dog, my pup always sits beneath me when I am doing yoga or push ups and licks my face, It drives me crazy! Good luck tomorrow!

Im still fighting this flu bud :mad: So havent done any exercising the past 2 days. I felt so awful yesterday I had to miss my girls night out :sick:

I am hoping with a good nights rest and having the day off tomorrow I will be able to workout.

Ill check back in later :flowerforyou:

pepamint83

Hey Ari, I'm lurking here but I'm guessing everyone's got spring fever and are away from their computers on the weekend!

Feeling crappy this week/weekend. AF is coming and I'm exhausted and yucky feeling. Still, did a bunch of walking yesterday and stepson and my man and I played a bunch of catch in the park which involved a lot of running for the ball and a lot of "soooorrryyyy!"s as stepson and I aren't the greatest at throwing (he's 11 and has a good excuse - I'm just a girl I guess and completely out of practice!)

Indulged a bit here and there - mainly a whole bottle of wine to myself last night (I never drink to excess) . I shouldn't have because combined with my pms, I was very very emotional and starting missing my dad (RIP since 2004) and starting crying a bunch which upsets my man cuz he doesn't know how to handle it. Then I got upset because he wasn't consoling me like I wanted him to and there was a lot of drama before bed. Oh lordy- no more drinking for me for a while!

Anyway enough blah blah babbling. Hope your night is good. I'm extremely jealous of your semi hot weather!

xo back atcha!

pepamint83

spring fever ah yes well i was just shocked not one person was on lol. sorry u dont feel well i know af is a pain (had her for an unpleasant visit last week she left on sat) running and walking is good. wine isnt too bad once and a while i have a drink every fri night becuase of work and school sometimes we need a treat and that 1 drink (2 max) is mine. sorry about ur dad its ok to be sad fri i cried cause my mohers car was being donated (it was my uncle and before him my grandfathers both are gone so it was hard but i felt so stupid crying over a car so never apologized for being upset over losing someone u care about time doesnt make it completly go away. but let us be here for u. semi hot weather lovely bike ride soooo great hope i dont pay for it tom.


hope everyone else is ok

Hey all... I was not able to log on today because my internet is down... I'm on my mom's computer right now, and thought I'd check in. I'm really, really sick and am going to go to my doctor's office tomorrow if I still feel this bad. I have such a terrible sinus infection that it's making my TEETH hurt. I wasn't able to get hardly any sleep last night, and have been pretty much down for the count all day today. Hopefully my internet will be working again by tomorrow, and I'll post more later.

kimlee

Good Morning everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend - mine was less than stellar. In addition to my sore knee, I am gearing up for TOM which meant I ate everything in sight this weekend, was grumpy beyond belief which led to a few arguments with the husband, and just felt like general poop.

I stepped on the scale this morning and saw a 10 pound gain from where I was on Friday. Granted I did overeat, so I know a pound or two is deserved...but not 10.... the joys of water retention and bloating that come with AF.

On the up side, hubby did take me shopping yesterday afternoon and I got some cute new pieces for spring. And they were all in smaller sizes.. I would pick things up in my old size, and hubby would have to get new ones. I guess I didn't realize I had gotten smaller.

My knee is feeling better - so I will be doing some aerobics with my MIL and SIL tonight. Hopefully, I can run with my hubby tomorrow.

pepamint83

morn all i had a rough night couldnt sleep till 4 am (but i have insomnia so this is nothing new) it was particulary hard cause the birds out my sindow wpi;dmt stp[ making noise lol

anyway feeling the effects of yesterdays bike ride but my mother who is still ill and busy but promises to be back soon stretched me out and we will go for our walk unfortn i have school next 2 days so will b missing the rest of the beautiful weather in a windowless classroom in manhattan ah the joys of school.

kim breath it will b ok thats why u r here for our support and motivation right. first do u have an official weigh in ours is tues. i find that i feel guilty if i go anywhere near the scale on off weighing days. remember water retention and bloating are big my dads a doc he always told me never weigh when im on those days i do but i always saw a low loss or a gain. your not alone. 10 pounds is pretty high though for a short amount of time u mind me asking how u overate? congrats on the smaller sizes u must feel amazing.


b back later

Holy crap is everyone just a blob of emotional water weight or what? My TOM too this week, almost over though.
Kimlee--I guess you joined us at the right time as I guess we're all cycling together:noway: Glad to hear someone else gains massive amounts of water weight too. I usually fluxuate around 5 pounds give or take. (usually give)
MissMez -- chilax man. Everybody needs a goo emotional drunk on wine cry every now and then:laugh: I know I've had mine:laugh: It'll be OK
Ari -- sorry you were all alone this weekend. I was stuck in the house and busy catching up on laundry and getting house ready for family this weekend, for Bithday Party:happy:

Ari - Sorry to hear that you didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Hopefully things will be better tonight. I don't mind you asking how I overate - I had a 2 pieces of ice cream cake on Friday night, a hamburger, fries, and 3 brownies on Saturday. The rest of the time I ate my normal sized portions (oatmeal for breakfast, big salad with lots of veggies for lunch, and fruit for snacks). I normally try to weigh in on Tuesday - but my PMS'ing self just had to step on the scale. I am going to avoid the thing for the next week - as not to psyc myself out.

hopetobeinshape

Hey all, Im with the rest of you and AF. Not mention this darn flu bug wont go away :grumble:

HOpefully everyone feels better soon :flowerforyou:
