    I've written two novels, a self-help book and received numerous awards on how to eat crappy carbs!!!

    I just can't eat that much food.

    I usually do really well on getting my protein in and stay within my carb and sodium limits. My pitfall is fat and sugar quotas, no matter how hard I try I never stay within quota. ugh....

    So, my left foot is feel much better (I got rid of the black book over the weekend and tried a brace with a cushion for the back of ankle where the achilles tendon is). I had no pain yesterday. I'm contemplating of purchasing a stationary bike and start building up strength by just doing 5 min one day, 10 min. the next and so on. I don't want to go to the gym and not be able to work out - being envious of everyone working out. It'll just piss me off!!!

    if you have a cheap gym nearby, maybe they have bikes (to lessen the blow of having to buy one).

    DON'T RUSH!!! You could lay yourself up for the summer!

    cricket.jpg

    Kathy, I'm sorry about bringing back the cricket but I'm hoping it will encourage you to keep posting so that we get to another page (yep, that's how I think)

    WifeNMama: yes, it is going to be fixed...I was hoping for it to be a loss because I'd really like to get a truck.

    P90X is supposed to start today. I just need to get over to my friends house to get it...I'll do it!



    Okay dammit.... I got the "cricket" memo and you are SO TOTALLY RIGHT Bill....

    So, here is an idea hatched from this thread (thanks Bill)...

    Calories burned...for the next four weeks, beginning tomorrow, April 24th (why not {somewhat} in the middle of the week? It could happen...) Also, part of the challenge, water intake. Let's see where this leads us people. I need motivation to get back my groove here, so hopefully this will be just the ticket.

    Anyone interested, just keep it in this thread. Don't forget to log your food in and for goodness sakes, let's start talking here again. I'll be the first one to say I've been absent lately without any good reason besides life, which is a terrible excuse.... sorry guys. :flowerforyou:

    So, I went on line and bought a stationary bike, can't wait to get it it! Until my houseguest leaves I plan on storing it upstairs in the living room. It folds up so it won't be in the way. I won't be able to do much on the bike at first, but I'll get something.

    On Wednesday I plan to go to PF after work. I've gotta to start working on my core and will do the "circuit" they have, but skip the ones that need ankle/foot movements. As a warm up I'll get on the bike for 5 min. and a normal pace, no more than that (as tempted as I'll be, I'm not going to go backward)

    Got my water in today!!!!

    Rest/recovery day!! Thank God!! I am sore everywhere!

    Needed more fiber, less sodium and fat. Stayed under the calories. Did well on the water today.

    Bruins have game 7 tomorrow night and I'm going out with the guys...calories will need to be saved all day for that one!

    Have a great time!

    Tomorrow is my cardio day so hopefully I can jog with Sam again. (The dog)
    Depends on my honey's schedule. He may be writing a sermon all day so we'll see.

    Today will just be flat out bad for me. The soda pushed me over the edge. I have logged everything as of 4:30pm.

    My son starts baseball and I'm coaching so that'll earn me a few calories but certainly won't save me from already being over my carbs by 80g and a solid 6-pack or so later will only crush those numbers. Please forgive my sins and know that I will do a double workout tomorrow.

    That is all. Go Bruins!
