What the hell????

I need to get my exercise back on track. I think my weight loss is suffering because I don't have time.
10-11 hour workdays everyday + 3 hour total commute time. Ugh. No end in sight, so much work to do.
I guess my goal for the next week is lift a lot of weights. 30 will be here before I know it (4 WEEKS!)
Weighing in at 144 as of last Friday. I really wanted to be 130 by 30 but I know that's not happening now.
Suggestions welcome!0 -
I'm one of those members who fell off the face of the earth... Now that I'm back you can say "What the hell?" to me and I'll just frown and shake my head because I totally suck. I lost track of my diet. I stopped exercising. I was eating f***ing M&Ms every day. And I'm done with that crap because I feel like crap. Well, I feel a lot better today than I did two days ago. I had a headache for about two weeks straight, and three migraines in April, and I realized that I've gone so far off track that my diet probably had something to do with it. So I haven't had candy, sugar, pop, or alcohol in two days. Feeling SOOO much better, and I'm planning on getting up early tomorrow and actually exercising! And now I'm going to take my dog for a long walk! I hate that I lost track of everything, because I was doing so good. But the good news is, I didn't actually gain any weight back, I just stayed where I was.
Now I've got 11 weeks until my friend's wedding and 30 lbs to lose, which isn't going to happen, so I'll do what I can, and I'll be healthy about it. It's not like the world ends on July 21st... I'll just keep on keepin' on.
Sorry, everyone! I feel bad because we're supposed to hold each other accountable, and I haven't even been logging in to offer anyone else support. But I'm back now and I hope everyone is having a nice Spring!0 -

This is the right place to be accountable (with your permission, of course.0 -
way under on calories today but a tad over on my sodium (lots of shrimp for dinner)
Made it through P90X chest & back...which I couldn't do the first time!!
Plyometrics tomorrow. It killed me last time.0 -
I met with my PT today, no low impact exercise until I meet with my doctor next month,which means, no walking my neighborhood :sad:
I can workout on the stationary bike though, and plan to go after work on Friday. Also I need to start working on my core and plan on some leg exercises and abdom. crunches.
Did well on my diary today, I've been eating to much fruit and my sugar levels are always high - could be why I'm not losing weight. Need to work on getting more veggies in!!!
No walking? You'll "work" around that hurdle Kathy. There's always more than a few alternatives... Let's brainstorm and come up with something as a group.
Fruit = sugar, or so I've been told. I stay away from excess fruit (who am I kidding, I don't eat it at all.) But yes, everything in moderation, including delicious fruits. There may be a little truth in the fruit = sugar...
Veggies, no argument there. I can stand more green stuff too...and yellow (squash) and orange (steamed carrots...)
Let's both try to work those in our diets and may be by next week, they'll be the usual stuff, ehh?

Hey there ~
Kids' soccer schedules are enough to kill any special diet aspiration or any kind of exercise routine. You've got to want to do this and it looks like you BOTH want to!!!!
We've all got hurdles to overcome but this is a great place with supportive people, so don't let lack of time, make you an unhappy person. You guys deserve better and your familes deserve a healthier/happier you, if you need to look at it that way. There's gotta be some time, where one can "work" in some time for yourself?
At the very least, track your food (pull out a sticky or notepad) and just jot it down for later. It will keep you somewhat accountable and let you see what exactly you're digesting day to day.
We'll be pulling for you both!

Day Three:
Work, work, work, then came home to do laundry...
Not counting that this time around. Had a processed frozen entre but didn't eat it all at once. Took about 2 hours, so I spread out the calories.
Lots of hot tea today and 16 oz of Deer Park water, then splurged on half cup of ice cream after a extra large homemade salad.
I'm bushed tired just typing this... :yawn:0 -
Made it though Plyometrics with only a couple of extra 15 second breaks. 58 minutes = 920 calories burned!!!
Greek God? Yep, that'll be me! (but I'll be the Irish Italian version)0 -
As long as said Greek Irish Italian god takes pics...
Im working on my Greek goddess look. I'm aiming for Athena. :-)0 -
I have no doubt that you'll get it.
it is 9:00 and I've eaten 1400 calories today and I can still have 1400 more (which I won't)...wonder what I should have? And I'm at 9 cups of water already. decisions, decisions!0 -

Do you take breaks for the weekend? :glasses:0
-
no break this weekend...I get one rest day per week and it falls on Wednesday.0

Went to planet fitness yesterday (took Thursday off - ankle was swollen and PT wasn't happy about that). Geez, I'm sorry when you have a person whose always "on the go" and never sits down it's a little hard to ask them to chill on the couch for months on end!!!!!!!!!
Okay, got that out of my system.
Anyhoo....I did 20 min on the stationary bike using the random hill option (I really felt that in my thighs). Then I did the Hip Adduction/Abduction and the ab machine. Next gym date will probably be Tuesday and I hope to start working on upper chest/shoulder stuff.
Food diary: ummm......I've cut back on the fruit, but picked up on the snacking!!! I don't think that's how it suppose to work. Anyone know what the FDA Food Pyramid say's we should have servings of in veggies vs. fruit?
My weekend to travel and visit mama, so I probably won't be back until Sunday night. Hope everyone enjoy's there weekend!!0 -
Fruit veg servings: 5-12 per day, depending on your size. if you keep it to half fruit or less and half veg or more, you'll be doing fine. I limit myself to one cup of real fruit juice per day or less, as well. If you eat the actual.fruit you get the fibre with it. One glass wrecks ky sugar limit for the day though.0

Thanks for the words of encouragement!0

Eh, too much fruit is better than no fruit!!!
Glad you were able to get a workout in!0 -
I did pretty well today. A little more water would've been good.
Supposed to do P90X yoga tomorrow...I will get through the entire thing this time!!0 -

I'm very interested in hearing about what the P90x yoga is....0 -
not a great day. Under on calories, over on fat, sodium and carbs. way under on protein and fiber.
I did get through 90 minutes of P90X Yoga though. Painful!
Katie, I will get you what the Yoga entails.0 -
You'll get back on track Vader, some days are harder than others.
I went over, that Italian bread (warmed up) is just too good to pass up. A local bakery in my hometown makes it and I know better than to buy it, but it said "kathy - take me home". So I did
I think I might do a drastic switch up with my diet. I checked out the Southbeach diet (the first 2 weeks looks like hell- giving up carbs, ahhhhhh). Anyone attempted this diet before? What do you think?0 -
Kathy, I'd rather see you make ajustments than do a "diet". Have you looked into workouts you can do sitting in a chair? Bands are quite cheap and they can really give you a good workout. and carb deprivation makes you really cranky!!!0

Good day today. I missed my pre-breakfast protein shake/bar which would've made a great day.
Liked my workout today and it burned about 65 more calories than WifeNMama's did for hers so that makes it extra special!!!0 -
Competition makes the difference... it's all about winning...lol.
Glad you guys had a good day. Mine was work work work... meant to go to yoga tonight and the gym...
Left work at 10pm, got home, ate half a steak, two spring rolls and cup of egg drop soup.
I feel guilty now.

So, I got my stationary bike and I am absolutely in love! It's perfect for my needs. It folds up when not in use, has a very comfortable seat, and very quiet. This will be nice if I choose to get up early and workout before going to work and not make a bunch of noise.
Today is the perfect example, my husband needed the car and I had to come home right after work, so I didnt make it to the gym as planned. Now I'll have no excuse not to work out!0 -

Great news! Glad you got something that works well for you.0 -
Kathy, hope your foot feels good after working out.
Decent day today. I really don't think I'll ever reach the calorie goal set by P90X. I don't have the time or appetite to eat that much.
I did the Kenpo X tonight and burned 629 calories. Pretty satisfied with that. Margaret? Is that you back there??
Now where is Katie? Fearless leader, are you there? I won't stand for any of those guilty feelings...No apologies, just action!
Rest day tomorrow and my body needs it!
Oh, last weeks calorie burn was 3416
This week is 1208 through 2 days0
