the weekend! Ive mucked out my horses big stable this morning (he's deep littered so it was a big job) so I'm hoping ive burnt some calories - i'll see what my fitbit calorie adjustment is today.
what are you up to? and hows it going? i dont think i will have lost much when we weigh on monday0 -
Well, I did good all week. met my cal targets and everything BUT the weekend may screw me over come weigh in time. Lots of high sodium food and NO activity today. It was wet and cold today and I basically used today to catch up on training DVDs and schedule trail rides. Saturdays usually are my rest days as I am off from the barn that day and I lack any motivation at all to do ANYTHING but necessary housework. Tomorrow I am supposed to meet my husband for lunch so it won't be much better. BUT I do work the barn tomorrow so that'll help. My goal for next week is to make sure I walk the dog, do a DVD or run at least 30 mins a day before going to the barn. Also next week I will be working my boys more because I am steps from riding Cajun and I have to fit Cinco up for Competitive Trail Rides AND help my friend get his horse ready as well. I love being busy with horsey things though!0
-
yes its great to be busy with horsey things. unfortunately im unable to ride before or after work at the moment as its winter here and we only have an outdoor riding arena but no lights. i was going to ride this weekend but we've had such a frost that the surface has frozen like concrete. i don't ride out because we are straight on to a busy road with blind corners and i dont like it! some people come very fast!
im at a lunch today at my god mums (also where i keep my horse) too, - i know what the menu is though as she's made it all;
- starter; olives (which I wont have as i dont like them)
- main Fish pie (coley, salmon with mash potato) and veg
- dessert: meringue and fruit salad
im also out tuesday for an early valentines meal - there is a menu online so i'll look and see whats best to have.
weigh in tomorrow!!!0 -
I am scared of weighing in tomorrow after this weekend lol. Saturday and Sundays are never good for me food-wise. I need to add more activity on those days, besides the grocery shopping and laundry. But those are my unwinding days so it is hard to convince my self to do that. Although Monday will start a new routine for me. I plan to try to make more time to walk my dog and sqeeze in a workout DVD...I HOPE. Also I am starting a new phase of training with Cajun and Cinco that will add some activity also. I will weigh in first thing in the morning...cross fingers and pray!!!! LOL0

:-( well what a difference a day makes. i did have a look at the scales yesterday and they said 175.2 so i thought even if I stayed the same for today it would be an overall loss for the week........alas this morning 176.8!!!!!!! i haven't been this high in months :-( **must get *kitten* into gear**
short post im afraid..off to work now and then the farrier is coming this afternoon, will update on my day tonight.
Hope you've had a better weekly result which im sure you will have xx0 -
Well my weigh in was okay I guess, although not what I hoped at 168. I kinda screwed myself eating pizza last night, makes me swell like a balloon. But its okay just havemore incentive to work it harder this week.0
-
my plan to ride went out of the window today. i left work at lunch time so i could ride before the farrier came at 3pm, but he came early at 2.10 so i didn't get chance. its not even 8pm and im so tired - not sure if its diet related (ie with the crap ive been eating) or just tired in general
im going to weigh tomorrow just to see what the scale says given that there was nearly 2lb diff between sun and mon0 -
It was probably water weight. I weigh myself daily but only check-in once a week. I screwed myself by eating junk over the weekend. I had big plans of riding today too but the weather made a change and the temps dropped and rain fell so it is too slick to ride without falling. And tomorrow is not looking any better...0
-
I was down a lb this morning but haven't updated mfp stats, i'll keep weighing daily just for now to see if mondays was a bit of an oddity.
out for a meal tonight, will try to be good x0 -
I am so SORE!!! Day 3 of 30DS and I don't know how I made it this far. We are planning a Spring Break trip though and I am determined not to go flabby if I can help it. I want to go out on the beach in a bathing suit and feel good about it. My weight is driving me nuts...I am sure it must be water fluctuations I hope. I am up almost 2 pounds over night so I don't see what else it could be...0
-
hey girl,
so your doing 30DS? I really should give that a go again ... insanity is just too hard for me atm.
Im at the cinema tonight - will try not to eat too many sweets!
xx
oh and i lost a lb on the work scales this week0 -
yeah...I started this week with 30DS. I have been watching what I eat and stuff BUT I don't understand why I am up on the scale this week....0
-
i need to sit down and work out how much i want to lose each month and then trying to stick to it. atm i have no short term goals and i think that is why i keep going up and down with the same few lbs
are we weighing monday again? xx
got myself some new riding boots - mountain horse terra nova's - they're lovely so going to try and test those out this weekend0 -
Monday should be fine! Gonna try to be good this weekend...hopefully I won't screw myself...
I love getting new boots and stuff! have fun!0 -
the boots are going to have to go on ebay.theyre too big :-(
im going to try and be really good this weekend. ive like to be 175 or less on monday0 -
Well poo...thats no good! I need to try mine on that I bought recently...I don't even know if they fit LOL. I don't know if I will be down any this week, the scales have been pretty steady even though I have been having a calorie deficit pretty steady every day. Guess we will find out tomorrow when we weigh in. I also do body measurements and i am interested in seeing if any inches were lost in Week 1 of 30DS although I doubt it lol. I have got about 3 weeks to go before our vacay and I am determined to be in shape for a swimsuit!0
-
hi there, keep drinking plenty of water - that will help reduce any toxins and bloat in your stomach, which will help for your swimsuit. lol just thought "operation one piece" it should be our mantra for the next couple of weeks.
ive just been looking at rolex kentucky horse trials - i will get to go to this at some point in my life even if im 80. its on my bucket list! have you ever been?
i rode this morning, and yesterday :-) im only doing 15 mins though as my horse isn't fit even to do any more. in 5 weeks or so our clocks go forward i can't wait to get into a proper riding routine, not just for myself but for him as well.
fingers crossed for tomorrow! xx0 -
hey girl, great to see you have lost this week.
well my scale did the same as last wek, down on the sunday and then up on the monday. and i weighed the same exactly this monday as last monday. hmmmm im going to weigh tomorrow again and see if its fluctuations - i dropped again last tuesday. i will try not to get disheartened and carry on.
can't wait for when our tickers say less than 20lbs to go0 -
Don't get discouraged. Maybe Monday is not a good weigh in day. Most people don't eat well over the weekend and Monday is bloat day central.
I can't wait until our tickers say ZERO left to lose!0 -
hey im back! something has clicked today dont know why particulary.....but ive not wanted to each much today which is weird...i rode this morning, i went for a 2 mile run at 5pm then i came home and did sit ups, push ups, etc. so im feeling great.
im determined to be good over the weekend. the scales will not say 176.8 on monday. xx0 -
Glad your feelin great! I am cringing for this weekend. I am leaving for my parents house and all they ever want to do is eat out...YIKES! I have to keep myself in check BIG TIME!
I feel like I have done okay this week with calories but my sodium is still way high so I am holding a lot of water...GRRR.
I hope Monday weigh-in isn't as bad as I fear it will be...0 -
hi
try to not stress too much while you are at your parents. stress hormone doesn't help when trying to lose weight.
just try to pick the healthiest choices.
i forgot to put my fitnit on this morning so ive not idea what i burned while riding. hoping to get out for another run tonight as well
A x0 -
Well...I think I did good for today...I am hoping I at least broke even but won't really know for sure until in the morning. I mainly snacked and only ate lunch as a full meal. We did lots of walking while shopping but I know my burn won't even be close to what it normally is. I did buy a little motivation...a matching compression jacket and capris from Old Navy. It is a size smaller than what I normally wear so I'm hoping that it will motivate me to work harder to make it fit right. Also, i think I am going to order an ArmPocket for my phone and keys so I can run without having to hold everything...so cumbersome. I am thinking also...that I may take running clothes and my trail running shoes to barn with me. There is 300 acres of trails across the street that could be a good boredom breaker I hope!0
-
300 acres! WOW! yes you must make the most of that!
I've ridden this morning. I tried to do insanity again today but its still too hard so I need to carry on with the running and get a little fitter before i start it properly.
weigh day tomorrow im excited but scared at the same time xx0 -
I was wanting to start running again this week but weather calls for cold and windy and wet all week....grrrr. I am getting a little frustrated. I have been doing the 30 day shred for a couple weeks and I remember doing it before and seeing results quickly...not BIG results but I could tell a difference in my body. This time I don't notice any change except in a little endurance...maybe I am not pushing hard enough? Who knows! lol I am just ready for some warm weather so i can take it outside!0
-
sorry ive been quiet on here, been so busy this week. fri, sat and sun may have been good days, but mon-today has not been good. so busy, not working out and not eating well either0
-
Hey, we all have those days. People who say they don't are full of it! Just start over again. I don't know how many times I have!0
-
Thats okay. I have been eating a little more than I should be too. And although I have been showing deficits all but a couple days, I am at a stand still. So, i have reset my goals on BodyMedia and am going to try to kick my butt into gear. We can do this!0
-
i am definately up this week i can tell & im going out tonight (dressed as a cowgirl :-) ) so alcohol and takeaway most likely involved.
i will still weigh monday even though it won't be good!0 -
I hope you had fun! Well, I have reset my goals on BodyMedia so I know have a lower calorie intake limit. i am hoping that will keep me a little more conscious of what I am doing. I don't know if this is water weight week or what but my weight has been all over the, place...who knows what it'll be on Monday! Oh well...0
