Tracey I am sorry to hear of this set back but remember it is just a set back and you will be back at it soon. Take care of yourself so you have a complete recovery! I wish you happy healing and keep on posting us because we will surely enjoy it!
This is my 13th day of fitness for the year! As they say no rest for the wicked! I must be a *itch!!!
I was really busy today but I worked my P90X Arms and Shoulders to the max along with Ab Ripper (so far i hate it the most)
I was under calories
and I got in a little more protein!
So once again I fullfilled my goal!
Iplay, i use All the Whey brand whey protein! When Shaun t says use a recovery drink, I was told by a beachbody coach to use 1 scoop of whey protein with 8 oz. of non acidic jiuce because it did the same! It is an awesome calorie burner but be careful with all that you are doing it may stress your knees and like on me it was my back! I visited my chiro every week!

Hello group, just wishing you a good day...
Nicolee and Jessica WOW, great job on your running, I'm going to try, no I AM going to go out for a run today...I'm going to try for 4 miles!
Boggs, 8 miles walking everyday sounds great! Great job!0 -
HEY all, THANK YOU all for the words of encouragement, I will need them!
So to the reason of this post with me having surgery I still want to keep loosing the weight so I'm wondering about the protein shakes and stuff. I'm afraid that I'm going to be sitting at home just eating everything in site. So I'd like to have suggestions on what I should be eating and so forth. I haven't had any major surgery, I mean I had my tonsils out when I was a kid so that doesn't count. So any help with this would be great. I have 2 weeks before all this happens so I have time to get stuff if I need to.
So thanks to all!
Tracy

Hey all...
Three days in a row now I've been feeling blah. I have been eating well, but just feeling really lazy about the working out. Of course, it has been a very stressful, hectic week at work and my schedule hasn't allowed me to run- I think that's taking it's toll on me. I'm the director of a middle school program, and have been totally consumed- at work, and at home- with an extremely fragile student. I have spent hours in meetings, hours thinking, hours planning, hours laying in bed not sleeping, etc. all concerning this one student. So, I'm hoping that I can get some good healthy runs in this weekend and be back to my normal self for next week. It's frustrating to not feel right and not know why! :ohwell:0 -
Kelynn, I set another goal for 2010 and it is to better manage stress. I actually need some stress to perform well in my job, but I am focusing very hard on leaving it at work. The hardest for me is keeping it out of my head at night, because it is easy to dwell on so many points when there is absolutely nothing you can do about it lying in bed.... right?
Some simple advice for what works for me....
1) Workouts help me expell stress and transition to a happy home person, so maybe it's better to try and fit them in
2) I think difficult people are in my life to help me with patience and develop character
3) I find reading my bible at night very calming, and helps set me at ease with life's stresses. It is not for everyone, but it really helps me.
I do hope it helps and I'll be praying for you, and your special person.

I can't look at the charts here at work, but I'll look at home. Thanks for ramroding this outfit.
The knee is OK, I completed my run this morning and it's not even sore. I'm looking forward to doing Insanity again in the morning.
I've hit all my goals nutritionally. While I'm content with my excersise effort, I beleive the nutrition part of this is more important so I'm excited about that. No Pop was the one I was worried about...except tomorrow is Mt Dew Friday. Where I have 650 calorie splurge, 27% of my normal daily calorie goal....on ONE drink. I can't wait. (essentially I'll break even tomorrow)
As for dealing with stress...this week has been a tough one dealing with child care issues...so it's been stressful for me also. I've been rolling around a blog post in my head all day about dealing with stress. I'll probably put that together tonight.0 -

Raymond-
Thank you for taking the time to give me some advice, and the prayers- I really, really appreciate it. I didn't formally set a goal of dealing better with stress this year, but I certainly need to work on it. I could go on and on about my job, and I truly believe from everything I've heard and what I know that although I have a relatively "normal" job, the nitty gritty details of it absolutely make it one of a kind. It has just been a whirlwind of a week- including being invited to my first Board of Education meeting where I was the youngest person there by 25 years or so. I've always liked my job, but I've just recently started being one of those people I always teased about pouring their heart and sole into work- I just am really, really getting into it and really starting to want to make "power moves" and elevate my program to the next level. So, it has been an exceptionally stressful, exhausting, frustrating, and long week, but not necessarily a bad week. I'm really starting to think about where I want to go professionally within my current job and beyond. Anyhow, I could go on and on... but I won't
More than stress management maybe I need to learn how to not to take work home with my mentally- which is hard enough as it is, and even harder when dealing with people... especially kids (and emotionally needy kids on top of that). It's not necessarily always stress that I bring home, I just cannot shut my brain off.
I am certainly going to try to take your advice, Raymond. I need to do a better job of fitting my workouts in when my after school program is in session- I'm sure that working out would make me feel better. And, I agree with you about the difficult people in life- I think the challenges and the stressors in my life are to help me develop as a person and a professional.
2 of my goals will be good when I report this week and 1 will not- 2 outta 3 ain't bad, right? :huh: Thanks for the charts- they're awesome!

Raymond, I was wondering why on my chart that there was not my ninety day goal list? I sent you a message plus listed them on our thread so I am a little confused! But if you could, would you put down as for goals this;
Do P90X daily with subbing Insanity on the Yoga day
Be at or under calories
Eat MORE protein
Thank you Raymond for ALL this hard work!!0 -
Met my P90X goal by doing Insanity Pure Cardio instead of Yoga (will use Yoga on my day off which is Sunday)
Did not get in enough protein today!:huh:
In my calories!
I hope you all had a good day! I am 14 for 14 in days of fitness this year!!0 -
Hey everyone.
Boggs, that's smart and keep working up to a run. I bet it sucks wanting to run, but patience will pay off.
Kelynn et all I do work alot too, it's a way of life for me. Typical day is 7:30 to maybe 5:30 or 6, then stuff, more stuff, and cram in a workout somewhere. BUT, I do love weekends.
Jessica, depending on the muscle group the soreness takes between 12 to 24 hours to show up. A really good leg workout will have you the MOST sore 1 to 2 days later, for example. AND... .soreness=progress if it's muscle rebuilding (not joint pain). I like sore.
Chart tonight after church, can't wait to sum it all up.
Raymond
WHOA! SO true! I was fine the next morning following my evening work out but as evening approached (24hrs after workout video) My muscles where beginning to feel sore!
I felt like I had been in a car accident! lol0 -
Keylynn hang in there..it will all work itself out and your time for you will come back. I too started off not so well the early part of this week, my teen son is now going to night school and I have to drop him off and pick him up after I rush home from work and lately I've had so many obstacles get in my way and havent made it to the gym. But..oddly the scale is going down down down! I am still watching what I eat but havent really been burning them like I had planned. Im going to try hard and get a nice good runs in this weekend, so i wont be posting my results until Sunday afternoon. And although my scale dropped like 3pds..I dont trust it, its one of those wacky ones that likes to bounce around on me sometimes. So not unless it stays for a few days will I BELIEVE IT. Hang in there..life is tough but we'll get through it. And I start my morning off by having a morning devotional, reading my bible and meditating on what I read and thinking what it means to my life.
Believe me, my week has been one big roller coaster too! Very busy at work also training someone new, and the big dozie is....my teen age son's girlfriend JUST told me yesterday she's pregnant!!! (17yrs). But I woke up today realizing Im not going to let it ruin my TODAY because God will see me through this, as he has everything else LIfe tries to throw my way. So remember it will work out and just learn as much as you can as you go through life's experiences. There's always something to be learned out of good times and bad times. Sounds like you are really growing in your line of work, so it sounds good! And your free time will come back, but do try and spend a few moments in some type of meditaion and ponder on what you may have experienced or learned throughout your day. And what you can do better or differently the next day.
Tonight at midnight..TODAY is going to come to an end now and forever.
TOMORROW is still full of possibilities.
Make a difference0 -
Hello Group, hope everyone is doing well! I have a migraine today but I worked through exercise and now I'm just hungry!
I did make it out for my run yesterday...yeah!! I was so Slow though...not sure what was up with that...might of been the slick road as soon as we left, my running pal Bella (lab mix) was so excited she took off and slide across the road....that made me pretty careful with all my steps, I ran for 44 mintues after a 10 minute warm up on the elliptical...and I only completed 3.3 miles...pretty slow mile, but at least I got out side, I haven't ran outdoors since December
Hope you are all doing well, so far I have a small loss to report on Sunday, going to do the average over the weekend.0 -

For a long time my DOMS (delyed onset muscle soreness) would show up the morning after. Maybe I'm older, or maybe my muscles are just more used to working out. But lately, almost 23 hours to minute of completing a work out my muscles start to get sore if I've done something new or exponentially hard.
Like this morning when I woke up my cramp from Wednesday night was back with a vengence. So, I skipped Insanity and went with upper-body weights. Sometimes, it's not apart of the program but I needed to do something! And I honestly enjoy banging the weights.
Now it's time for 50 odd hours of recovery, and boy do I need it. Next week is a race week, so my work out schedule will not be as aggressive.0 -
Kelynn- Hang in there...I know it's tough not to bring work home....I used to do it all of the time! At one point I actually thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown. Just remember, there are things beyond your control, and they are the ones to not stress about. Pick and choose your stesses, just like we pick and choose our battles.
As for me, yesterday I did power yoga and ran 5, today just did my 30 day flailing..

BOY AM I SOOOOOOO GLAD ITS THE WEEKEND! And I have Monday off! I do plan on getting some good workouts/runs in this weekend. ahhh it feels so good to know Im going to have some time for ME! YAY!0

After working out hard all week, I feel flat this morning. Did 30 minutes on the walker, got through one circuit, then quit after 7 reps of squats on the second circuit. I've been tired all day, just wanting to sleep. I'm looking forward to relaxing for two days. My mind was so out of it this morning, I washed my hair two times before I realized it was wash hair, then body. :laugh: Just want to sit back and watch a movie for the night and pray the scale will be nice to me in the morning.0
-
I got in my P90X Legs & Back with the Ab Ripper! So tired today! Skipped any extra cardio. I have not had a fitness break since Christmas day so it's no wonder!!!
Under calories but really did NOT eat very good calories!
Had protein 3 times today. Cottage cheese, hamburger, cottage cheese again!!0 -

I managed to get to the gym tonight and had a great run that Im very proud of! So..guess its still there. I can do it! So can you!
Talk to everyone tomorrow0 -
Hello team! I'm weighing in now in case I don't have the time to jump online this weekend!
Weight - still 189 lbs
Goal 1 (days within cals) - 4
Goal 2 (nights without snacking) - only 2
Goal 3 (days at the gym - extra workout) - 1
Weighing in this morning and NOT seeing the number change is telling me I'm doing something wrong because I have barely seen the scale move and I should have at least dropped some water weight since I haven't been watching my weight for a good 5 weeks before we started this. So, I have made a major decision and decided to stop taking so many shifts on top of my clinical hours at the hospital! I am lucky enough to be in the position where I do not HAVE to work, but have been working like crazy to buy a house, so I'm going to take a break from work and use that time to concentrate on MYSELF! I'm a true believer that stress and sleep have a huge impact on weight loss, and I have too much stress because of time constraints and only sleep about 5 hrs a night which is not healthy!
So wish me luck on my new lifestyle :P After this Thursday I am only working once a week and just concentrating on school and ME!0 -
Sounds like a few of you were tired yesterday, as was I..after my workout I just never recovered...I really challenged myself to a tough week and doubled my cardio...didn't really mean to, it just worked out that way. I sat down yesterday to watch the news and...I dozed off until midnight:laugh: , then I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep when I went into the bedroom...I was out minutes later, I must of needed to catch up on some rest...have a great weekend.0

Im going to continue posting on Saturday mornings as I have been doing. Whether I got my miles in or not during the week, besides my weekend runs will just get added in the next Saturday post, so no loss. It is what it is.
RAINMAN Im dropping the ozs from my weight so I rounded up the "goal" weight.
(Saturday AM-Saturday AM).
January 16
184 CURRENT WEIGHT
188 Start Weight Jan1st
175 Weight goal in 90 days (goal of losing 4.5 lbs per month for 2010)
Challenge goals
7.30 miles per week (goal is 18 mi per week)
7 Days at or below calorie target
14 Pant size (near 12, they zip but are tight)

hello everyone, I'm just checking in and to tell all that I'm still losing weight even with this stress and not exercising at all. THis is great news for me. Maybe I will be able to at least maintain my weight after the surgery. Anyway if its ok I will still weigh in and let you know that info. I think i still need to be accountable to something otherwise its going to go the other way real fast.
So with that said I have lost another 2 pounds I'm currently at 229.
Have a great weekend to everyone!0 -
