Today my first exercise is climbing back on the wagon. I gave in to stress big time yesterday, and actually ate fast food. I haven't done this in over a year, and I'm paying for it BIG time today. I was starving, nothing else was open, I hadn't planned ahead, blah blah blah (excuses, excuses. . .) What an eye-opener when I logged it. No wonder I was so big for so long. I doubled my calorie intake for the day in one sitting, and I used to eat that crap 2 times a day. Yeeeesh. Seriously evil. I feel poisoned. I feel the need to confess it, though. . .

Moving on! I will do some stretching tonight (today is osteopath day, so I'll be manipulated and sore when I get home), but that's all for the day.

Today is a new day! Happy Wednesday.:flowerforyou:

Good morning. I took a day off from exercising today. Slept in a little - really needed it!! Yesterday was way over the top stressful and dd has been having problems at night Mon and last night. But, it's a beautiful sunny day and has to be an improvement over yesterday! :laugh: Otherwise, I'll just have to resort to bringing wiskey to work and I don't think that will help me lose weight. :happy: I wouldn't care anymore though . . .

Happy Hump Day!!

Good Morning!

Yes, we are getting close to the end, but I would love to keep on going if you girls are game! I find that checking in every day and planning my workout goes a long way for me. There have been a few days when I didn't feel like working out, but didn't want to admit that in "group" so I worked out anyway!

Vicky and Vivia -- I'm with you -- sounds like we all sort of fell off the wagon lately. But really, we are talking a full lifestyle change and it was really interesting to me to see how literally sick I felt after eating the same stuff I used to eat all the time. For the past two days I've eaten WAY more sugar and fat than I have over the past month and there is no doubt I've been paying the price.

So, back to it!

Last night (after the second birthday binge -- ugh) I only managed to get in a short lunar yoga session. I'm glad I had done a cardio workout earlier in the day.

Today I'm about to head out for a morning walk for 45 minutes, then I'll do some sort of strength toning routine when I get back, probably 25 minutes of the Biggest Loser FitTV one.

Have a great day!

Good afternoon all! Rainy & miserable here in NY. I really committed myself to a good workout today and did 30 minutes of Sculpting and 30 minutes of Cardio.

Yesterday I did nothing. I wish I had my polar watch already - I could have seen what my resting BMR was. I was in bed for all but 6 hours yesterday. Hey, but all I ate was oj, strawberries, crackers & PB. I think I was under 1200 calories, but I didn't enter it.

Feeling better today. The fever is gone, but the stomach isn't back to normal. I'm going to push through for teaching yoga tonight, but I'm resting the rest of the day.

I'm sure the next challenge will be Memorial Day, though our neighbors to the north or over the pond don't celebrate that. We could do Mother's Day, I'm not sure about that one as far as outside the US. My husband's 20 year reunion is June 20th, so that will be something for me to work for - to be in better shape than I was for his 10 year reunion!

I managed to do thirty minutes of cardio this morning. That's more than I have done in awhile. Still struggling to get back into the swing of things. BUT my son is doing better. He's saying more and telling me when he has to go potty! Yay! So that has taken some stress off. Last night he pretended to be a cat (we have a cat), so that was music to my ears! I don't think he's autistic. I think something else has been going on and he's getting better now.
I'm not sure if I am going to get much more exercise in today. I need to do some cleaning, so I guess that counts!
I am sorry to hear some of you have been sick! Get better soon! And yes we need to have another challenge. I missed out on most of this one so I need another one!

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't checked in since I got back from Las Vegas. I've been having a rough time with some emotional eating. My Grandma died on Sunday and my little guy is sick AGAIN (going to the doctor today) and I had another miscarriage last week before we left for our trip... Uugh. Anyway, just whining and frustrated with myself for not keeping some control in my life with exercising (although I did ride my bike for 30 min last night) and eating right. Hoping to focus the next few days so that I can see that loss I'm hoping for on Friday.

(((HUGS))) & +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou:

Niccole, I'm so sorry for your losses. I hope you have many happy memories to help you through this time. I hope your little one feels better too.

My mom just let me know she has to have a surgery for cancer, so I am trying to make plans to be there to help her recuperate. Hard to do since she doesn't have a date yet for surgery. So I am wandering the house eating this and that and I keep looking for something and I don't know what? So that tells me my emotional state is the same way too. Life is going to get complicated soon.

I'm counting my driving in 2+ inches of sleety snow as part of my exercise for today. I had enough adrenaline in my system for 2 days worth. I gotta go back out and do it again shortly.

I think tonight will be yoga because I really need something calming and it really helps me. See tomorrow guys, I'm up for any challenge we all go for and who knows I might actually get some real exercise in this time. LOL. Well off to work.

Niccole I will be thinking of you hope your little one gets better soon and I hope you feel better (emotionally) what a lot to deal with all at once Hugs to you :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Wow, what a difficult week for everyone. Hoping for the best for all.

Niccole, you are amazing! I don't know where you find the strength...:flowerforyou:

How about just aiming for May 1st? I feel like the monthly goals are easier to attain, plus I am in a wedding on the 3rd, so I'm busting my butt! Memorial Day is over two months away, so that would be a great end of May goal.

Ran a couple miles this morning, going to do an hour on gazelle. My co-workers took me out to lunch for my birhday so I splurged a bit and have to work off a few more calories!
