Black Team Week 9!!!!

SatelliteCrush80

Lori-- coupla thoughts-- first, scripture says, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Yes, our bodies are amazing. All the more reason why we must, as we've learned, respect and treat it well-- it's the only one down here we're ever gonna get.

Preach it, Rev. Brown!

No, seriously...I've realized this very thing for the hundredth time this last week. Ate crap all last week while working out, gained almost 6 pounds...this week, got back into the good food and kept my workouts going and have lost 3 of them in 2 days. Feel much better, too. I know what the junk food does and how it makes me feel, but sometimes I don't use the good sense in my brain to not spend a week at a time eating it. Live and learn, I guess.

Yes, live and learn, and forget and remember, and live and learn some more, and forget and remember some more-- and so on, and so on and so on--

Idiots, we humans, yes?:noway:

Yes, like my "planned forgetting" when I eat cheesecake next week at the Cheesecake Factory. Didn't get to eat it when we went before Christmas, so I am having it then. At least it will have been a 'treat' rather than a habit.

Yepper-- live, learn, ignore, repeat.



And life without treats, for me, is a bummer.

Today is a "let live" day for me. Hopefully I'll get it out of my system and not repeat tomorrow. Maybe I'll just finish the entire bag of almond m&m's now so that tomorrow I won't be tempted.....

Marla- everything you said- yep. I'm certainly not racing anywhere right now, still on the racepath though, kinda doing my own thing.

Shuntae-I've learned the same things a 1,000 times over too, guess I will keep doing it and relearning it over and over. If only I was smart enough to 'get it' the first time. The problem is with maintaining (for me anyway)- it gets boring. When I was losing it was fun and exciting. Now I work hard to stay the same. Kinda hard to keep the same level of motivation. I was thinking about you the other day and how well you've managed to stay in your goal weight. Hard work.

Confession time: I opened a bag of white chocoate chips last week, been hitting the bag here and there when I feel a sweet tooth urge. Just realized as I poured myself a handful that I almost ate the whole bag. :noway: Disgraceful. :ohwell:

Marla- I don't want to think of a life without sweets/treats either, but I may have to abstain again to get things back on track there. I'm a little outta control. Ok, a lot outta control. I've had sweets a lot lately. Can't remember too far back, but Saturday was ice cream, Sunday and Monday cake, yesterday monkey bread. It's becoming a nightly dessert habit and it's not a good one. No wonder I'm sluggish and 'lax'. I've let sugar back into my life. I was thinking about strawberry pizza (crust, cool whip and cream cheese mixed, topped with strawberries- cause I have some fresh ones) for tonight....... I wish I didn't like to bake. Maybe we should eat some mixed fruit with the strawberries in it instead. :grumble:

Confession time: I have had an entire bag of Almond M&M's in the past two days. And, I didn't log them all. :noway: Too embarassed and ashamed of myself. Two steps forward, three steps back with that admission folks!

ksproston

Okay, so I smacked myself and logged the M&M's. NOT my proudest moment. But, it is what it is. Won't keep this weight off by ignoring what I eat.

Yes, we're all hard on ourselves, but I'd prefer that to the years where I wasn't hard at all on myself, excused everything, and ballooned to 221 pounds.

These days, I have my weight loss guidelines set for one pound per week loss, which is 1470 calories per day. I'm under that most days, with no loss. So, my body is obviously not wishing to budge right now. And that's with 4 days at least per week of exercise.

I'm up 3 pounds here, down 2 there, up 4, down one-- like you all, I'm tired of freaking about it. It's normal. I'm a 45 year old hormonal nutwad-- these things happen with age, ya know?

So, personally, I'm chilling. I'm keeping my ticker and still trying for the 50 pound goal.... Hoping with the spring and daylight savings, et cetera, that my running will increase, outdoor activity will increase, calorie burn will increase a bit-- and maybe by the end of the summer, I'll have hit goal.

I'm still here, plugging away, crowing about the victories, *****ing about the failures, encouraging, being encouraged-- and just rolling with the punches. We'll have our ups and downs, my friends. It's how we weather them at the end of the day that tells us who we are inside.

My children are surrounding me-- sermon over.
