Ok so that exam took everything out of me. I knew ng, and think I did alright, but it was HARD! I was too stressed to eat all day before it, so as soon as it was over some friends and I went to a pub and I had a corn beef reuben and a few too many, then just went home and crashed at like 8pm. Law School kills your social life btw haha. Thursday was still not a good eating day, but I did do a yoga video and danced around to the black eyed peas latest album so thats good. This morning though-the most amazing thing happened. I weighed myself and I had not gained a pound. Now I knew if I kept things up like I had been one day I wake up a balloon so I went to the gym (ran there and back its about .75 of a mile away) and did a circuit weights workout. I have fruit, yogurt, and a salad with me to have today in the library and good soup going in the crock pot when I get home. Not gaining weight actually really motivated to get back on track. Lets hope I keep it up through the weekend. I have my next exam monday so no excuses!
I did my measurements last weekend, how often do yall think I should update those? I was thinking every other week would give it more time to change. Thoughts?
Hope everyone else has a great weigh-in day! And thanks for all the support on my exam. 0 -

Awesome! I haven't had time to do a weigh in yet. But sounds like your week went well. I had my 1st final today. Went great. So hopefully my weigh in goes as good.
I am excited to hear how everyone else is doing!

Well I am excited today. I lost a pound this week! I had a really good workout last night with my personal trainer so i think that may have helped a little bit. I hope everyone else did well this week, and good luck to all who have finals coming up! :flowerforyou:0

OK so im down 3lbs this week!!Today I had a cheat day or cheat meal we went to chilis but i decided to have it today so it doesn screw up next weeks weigh in. We need a new challenge to add, which might i add i totally forgot about the chewing challange at chilis today. Any ideas anyone for the challange??
I passed both my finals A and C!!! now only two left!!
Hope everyones weigh in went well.0 -
Good Job Solly!
up to 175 for the week. Guess i gotta step up the cardio.0 -
Hey Ladies, Sounds like it was a pretty good week.
I am down two pounds for the week. Considering stress, lack of time and convenience of fast food on campus Ill take it. At least for this week.
Maybe this week we can come up with a better challenge that will help us to stay on track. How about a work out challenge instead? Everyone work out at least 30 min cardio a day and check in everyday to let everyone know you did it? Idk. Anyone have any other suggestions for a challenge?0 -
Sounds like a good challenge to me.... but lets say everyone do 5-10 minutes MORE of cardio everyday... some people may do more than that and some people may to less so as long as we are adding to it! I actually lost 2 pounds, woot! Have a great saturday, I'm studying today...
~Leash 0 -
I agree with Alicia, i do different amounts of cardio on different days and sometimes its more than 30 sometimes its less, so I'd say everyone add 10 minutes of cardio to your normal routines everyday. Oh wait, that me a different suggestion haha. Should we add 10 minutes to cardio routines or add 10 minutes of cardio everyday, like add 10 to your normal cardio, but if you have non cardio, strength only days typically do 10 minutes of cardio as well. What do yall think? I usually do both when i workout so i'll be adding 10 to every workout no matter what we decide!0
-
Lets just say add 10 minutes to whenever you do cardio, so even if its only 4 days a week add 10 minutes each time, as long as we are adding, it may be different for each of us, if some aren't doing very much cardio then it wouldn't be good to suddenly add 30 minutes everyday, does this make sense? So 10 minutes each time to your regular cardio routine... but like meg said if you want to do 10 min on the days your strength train thats great too! I'm off to the gym, weather is too bad to run outside, SO frustrating!

Sounds like a plan. 10 minutes should make a difference.
Did a light day of 25 minutes on the bike and some triceps. Shins have been hurting lately, really need to get the extra weight off to make it easier on the legs.0 -
Ya that sounds like a good idea because I know I wont be able to make it to the gym everyday..I cant wait till winter break to be able to work out more!!0
-
I have no will power since cheating yesterday i feel like i want to eat everything i have been so good all day and now im about to get something from taco bell. I need to start working out at the gym in the morning otherwise i just dont feel motivated. So hopefully i have time tomorrow these finals are consuming my life not to mention i have to work tomorrow too. Cant wait monday when i know i will for sure be going to the gym and i'll only have one final left!!0

Great job everyone and a really good challange!0
-
Im yet to work out i attempted to workout yesterday but my baby boy was not havin siiting there watching me, but i have only one class left so my schedule is now almost free other then work on the weekends so i now feel i have more motivation with all that stress off my back.
How is everyone doing with the challange??
I'm curious what time do you guys try to stop eating by. I have a horrible problem with eating to late!0 -
My job kills me on eating late, but if i get home from work late and im no longer hungry for dinner, I will eat a luna or cliff bar, so at the latest i trying to have something like that before 1030. Otherwise i'll bring water with me up to bed so i can drink if i feel hungry.
Tomorrows hard core gym day, gotta do a good run so hopefully i can make the extra 10 minutes without dyin...LOL
Hope everyone has a good day!0 -
I have finals this week so I'm almost with ya sollygirl! I really need a break from school... I've had some good gym workouts though, I've been sore the last 2 days which is always a good feeling, the weather has been crappy so I haven't been able to get outside to run still and it will be dark by the time I'm done later, I'll just go to the gym tonight... as far as what time I stop eating, I try to have dinner eaten by about 7 or 730 but when I have coaching til 7 I don't eat until 8, and I usually go to bed around 10 or 11... I really don't think its that big of a deal as long as you drink water and are eating healthy food. Have a great day everyone, I'm at the library studying for my final (ok I'm not studying this second but I needed a quick break!)

Ah The weekend was a total bust for me as I had a 30 page paper to finish and a stupid impossible Italian final to prep for that still got the best of me today. So tomorrow is my day off, and I plan on cleaning and getting to the gym and back into my routine!
Good job ladies!0 -
Today has been a rediculously gay day for me and i've been talking myself out of working out all day ate healthy for the most part didnt need to eat a footlong sub but didn't go over in calories so i guess its ok, but i just decided im not ganna get anywhere sitting on my couch on the computer all night so i'm ganna do the P90X ab workout!! Just thought i'd share in case someone else is convincing thereself they can always workout tomorrow.
Hope everyones week is starting out great!!0 -
Warm hello from Russia!
I'm 22 and I've been struggling to lose weight since 19. I started gym since 20, but it was more of recovery exercising (injured my back) than weight loss. So now I have changed the gym and the trainer and this guy seems to be very tough and very motivating, he just doesn't get off my back :noway: ... Am with you, pals!0 -

aliciakarver- I'm sure everything went fine with your final, you'll do great on the other ones. Great job on still working out even though your spin class was full! You rock! 0 -

I'm curious what time do you guys try to stop eating by. I have a horrible problem with eating to late!
I have a 6 week old so I know what you're going through. I try to get a work out in really fast, I'll do the 30 day shred video, if I have no one to watch him.
I don't eat past 7pm. My husband and I used to do late night runs to Mcdonalds at midnight! It took a lot of work to not eat late because we both work and because I have a baby, sometimes I forget to eat. Not eating past 7 works out really well for us.
My weakness is sweets! If I feel I want to have something sweet, I'll eat a yogurt or those Hostess 100 calorie cupcakes, or fruit. Also, If I feel I want to cheat with food, I'll look up a non-fat, low calorie version of it and cook it at home.0 -
I have been pushing myself really hard!
I walk and talk for 1 hour with my husband every evening, I do 10 minutes of weights and then the 30 day shred dvd.
My body is so sore, but I love seeing the results.
It has been so easy to change my eating habits because I am so determined to lose the rest of my pregnancy weight and lose an additional 50 pounds.
Good luck to all of you ladies on your journey to that new bod!0
