Knee High Boots Week 2

Kityngirl

Congrats again Sarandipity!!! You rock! :flowerforyou:

Hope everyone had a great week. This week my personal challenge (and anyone else that wants to join me) is to log all of my food and stay within my calories. I have been doing horrible with logging my food and I think I've been under-eating which is never good. I'll blame it on being sick. :ohwell:

I'm keeping my challenge from last week too. I need to get back into going to the gym and working out at least 3 days a week.

Have a great week everyone!

JoyousMaximus

Thanks, Kity! I've been good about logging and the gym but staying under my cals? Nope. I'll try with you.:smooched:

Sarandipity

Thanks Kityn :flowerforyou:

I am with you. I have been good about logging and staying within my calories, but the exercising has not had as much priority. I have been fighting a bug, but I need to stop with the excuses!

I too have been sick and under eating, not exercising, then forcing myself to eat the uneaten cals at the end of the day. I really do not wish to restart starvation mode. I'm getting a bit more energy now but am finding difficult to find the motivation to do anything because things have piled up when we were both sick. Hopefully this weekend will allow me to get back on track... yawn... must admit to still being exhausted though... see just writing this note used up my energy. PATHETIC!!!:grumble:

i'm gonna try to do this challenge. i haven't stayed at 1200 cals in soooo long. itll probably feel good mentally and physically to do it.

i went to the skinny puppy show last night and bought 3 beers and then ate a cheeseburger and fries at dennys after. went way over my cals but the concert was so good. i got to meet the lead singer, nivek ogre...****, he is HOT, and so smart. if i had time to be intellectual with him, i totally would talk his head off.

if i knew how to post pics i'd show ya!, oh wait, i can put them in my profile!

I'm going to attempt the challenge too. Logging and exercise is not my problem, it's staying under my cals :grumble: Yesterday was a girl's night in with my friend, and also my free day, but I did pretty horribly even for a free day. Spending today detoxing my body :laugh:

By the way, I wanted to shar with those of you that have access to Trader Joe's...I just bought their pack of frozen chicken potstickers and THEY ARE TO DIE FOR!!! Only 230 cals and 3.5g fat for a serving, which is 7 potstickers so you don't get gypped by only getting like 3 per serving (like pierogies :grumble: ) I LOVE THEM!!!

Ive also really been slacking on logging in. I dont think Im under eating I think Im WAY over doing it. It would explain my plateau. I feel terrible. Im at this point again where Im not seeing poundage loss and its really getting to me. I have learned that when Im not losing pounds Im losing inches.......Im kind of teeter totering.



I would really like to detox. How do I go about doing that? I think it might help. Im getting really frustrated.

you'd have to look mor einto it or get info from someone else. but i know that lemon's are great for detoxing, that and eating whole clean foods, so like, things with nothing added. but lemon water is absolutely great for detoxing

do i only do it for a day? more? should I only eat fruit that day? is whole wheat bread okay? I dont want to f it up. I want to do it right.

I can read what to do but I want to here what y'all have done and what didnt work for you.

Good morning Ladies. I had a pretty good weekend... although I didn't get on here to long any of my food, I think I did really well. (going to log what I remember, to make sure...:huh: ) I got on the scale this morning and I was down a pound! :noway: Have I broken the plateau??? I was excited needless to say, so I'm hoping that it will still be gone at the time for weigh in!! *fingers crossed*

KaitieBug

Uuuuuggggghhhhh I knew I did damage this weekend but I didn't think I'd put on 2 WHOLE POUNDS!! :mad: :explode: Guess I better be doing some harder workouts this week...of course this is a week of midterms!! Looks like I'm going to have a case of the Mondays today already...:grumble: :laugh:

you could try juicing or going raw

NykkieC

I need to log better too and exercise has been almost nonexistent for awhile with me :ohwell: I'm in for both challenges!

I definitely have a case of the Mondays today, I'm grouchy and just want to go home!

I wouldn't eat bread if you want to detox. i don't know all the ingredients in healthy whole grain bread, but it is really heavy still. i'm talking clean food. that makes it more natural and detoxifying.

whatever you do, don't do tha tmaple syrup cleanse or whatever. that is ridic.!

let me know what you plan on doing or if you get any other tips

My ex/roommate moved back to Florida last night. Since he left, I've eaten a peanut butter brownie sundae, a kit-kat, half a pumpkin spice muffin and a bowl of reduced fat Cheez-its. :frown:

JOYOUS MAXIMUS!! STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!!!! The self-indulgent sorry for oneself behavior ends now! YOU ARE STRONGER THAN THIS!!! Don't punish him and worse yourself by behaving this way. Go to the gym, run, sweat, cry then go for a nice long body massage and let out all the pent up emotion caused by the departure, then let it go! You heard me right, let it go. Life is filled with new beginnings, this is what this is. Be strong!!!

You know I you and so this is meant from my heart and in all sincerity for your own good. :flowerforyou: :smooched:

GAAAAHHHH I feel your pain, all my classes are 8 week courses (WHAT was I thinking?!?!) I've got my history midterm in a few hours and I just want to crawl back into bed and sleep some more. I'm good at history, but I'm not good at "Blue Book" tests, which in this professor's case is all analysis questions. Plus I have another bio anth midterm tomorrow worth 75 points ACK!!! I DON'T WANNA GO TO CLASS I WANNA GO NAPPIES!!!!

There I feel a bit better! Managed to get in a 262 calorie workout yesterday, it felt really good :bigsmile: Down 1.6 pounds from yesterday too, so my body's getting rid of all the yuckies I put in it all weekend now lol!! Probably skip my workout today as I need to get ready in a sec and be at school early, plus it's a late class day, so any energy I have left tonight will go towards more studying :ohwell:

Good luck Loathesome you're such a stud, girlie, I know you can do it! :flowerforyou:

JM, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad girly *BIG HUGS!* :flowerforyou: Nikky is right though so take your stress out on the gym and not your metabolism!! Love you gals have a great day!!

***waves*** Hi Kaitie!! :smooched: Been a while since I said hi.

I got back on the exercise wagon last night. Did an hour work out, 30 mins on the elliptical, 30 mins rock solid abs dvd and felt and still feel absolutely invigorated and alive again almost healthy again. Will do another hour today. I MUST kill this plateau, I don't even know now how long my plateau has lasted. It seems like I just can NOT go below 165. That said, I'm eating more and more and not gaining which is fabulous. Although, I can't imagine ever eating anything close to 2000 cals a day as my maintenance indicates I should be eating. I know I have to suck it up and keep eating though. No more starvation mode for me. :bigsmile:

denitchy

Nikky - I know what you mean about killing the plateau... I think mine has been going for about 2 months!!! BUT........... I got on the scale this morning and........I'm DOWN 3 LBS!! I'm so excited :bigsmile: *fingers crossed* that it wasn't a fluke LOL I knew it was just a matter of time, but all I did was ramped up my cardio! My BF just bought me an awesome elliptical and I'm on it at least every 2nd day, plus, I've been going to a Crav Maga class (self defense) which I sweat my @SS off with... it totally exhausts me!! It's great :bigsmile:

On another note: for those of you that remember about my promotion that I've been waiting for... well, I go next Thursday! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I still have holidays, so I am taking tomorrow and Friday off, come back in on Monday to train my replacement until Wednesday.... I'm so excited!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
LOTS OF SMILES!!

***waves back**** HIYA NIKKY!!!!

Congrats on the promotion and 3 lbs, denitchy!! Knew you could do it, and I'm sure glad to hear you're done with the bs at that office!!

Well, did pretty awful on calories yesterday...over by 630 something because the hubby was craving meatloaf and he made meatloaf and mashed taters just about all by himself so that I could study for today's midterm!! :bigsmile: So it was worth it, what a stud he is!! I'm thinking I'll haul my flash cards and study guide to the gym and try to get 20-30 minutes in total between 3 machines :happy: Getting better at the reading while on the treadmill thing, and this midterm is a BIG part of my grade, 75 points, plus it's a class for my major so it would kinda suck if I don't do extremely well on it! Wish me luck gals, and have a great day!!

JoyousMaximus

Denitchy- Congrats! It's great that you broke your platau and it must be such a relief to know you are getting out of a toxic work environment.

Kaitie- It was just one night and I'm sure your husband was proud he was able to help by making you dinner. That alone is worth the extra calories.:happy:

I managed to resist the urge to eat badly last night. I did have a small bowl of ice cream but I was still well under my calories with exercise. I can do this. :bigsmile:

Changeisgonnacome

Yayyy Denitchy!!! I'm very happy for you!!!
Good Girl JM!!! Proud of you!!!
You are one hot chica Sara!!!
Kaitie- depending on the deficit the site has set you at you may not be over your maintenance cals and if so, not too much over, so I wouldn't kick myself too too much. Besides, it's not like you're not doing anything at all to improve your health and eating habits, right? Don't beat yourself up too much because that's when you start giving up on it all. We all need to allow ourselves a little breathing room as JM has just done but the key is to catch yourself before it gets to be out of control. I did my 30 mins elliptical and 30 mins rock solid abs again last night. I hurt almost all over this morning but am very proud of myself. It had been over three weeks since I'd last exercised. Being sick and hectic schedule had gotten in the way but now I'm refocussed. Tonight I work out and then won't be working out until Saturday or Sunday so this is my last day to get my goal of 'at least 3 days of work out' in a week done. Let's keep working on keeping each other motivated!!
Thanks to you all!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Atta girl Samantha!!!!! :drinker:

Thanks for the motivation and kind words, JM and Nikky! I am so proud of myself, I just got back from San Diego, where I got a Tony's Little Gazelle for $25 (and 2 hours of rush hour traffic) I found on craigslist :bigsmile: Sooo excited, it's going to be much easier to workout now that I have something at home, so I can still work out when I'm in a rush and can't do the extra drive or walk time to the gym :bigsmile:
