Biggest Loser Week 2

NewImprovedCnbethea1

Are we reporting our weight loss weekly or monthly? If monthly what day?

It was still weekly I think for me I have been having issues and so I am just taking the time off. I think some of the other ladies were already on a monthly weigh in before starting the challenge. So that's where the confusion came in sorry about that. Do what works best for you!!

I didnt do anything at all yesterday... stupid first day of TOM... I will make up for it today.. I'll do my 25 push ups and 25 crunches from yesterday today!

This is gonna be long, sorry...

Ok, so yesterday was bad. Not just bad, but really really bad! I was all ready to join the gym, had it arranged to go at 4 and my son was going to get to play on the computer there while I worked out. The day started off great. Went shopping to get some invites for my graduation celebration this summer. Went to the school to volunteer, and it hit. My son has ADHD and Aspeger's, just a lil background. He began having a meltdown at school. Not just a little one. Nope he comes to the room I am in and begins slamming the door. The more I ignore him, the louder it got and the harder he slammed. The teacher in the family center (where I was working) goes out in the hall with him and locks the door so he can't open it anymore. Then his teacher comes to get him. He goes back to class, and I'm thinking, "ok he will pull it together". Boy was I ever wrong. The teacher calls when school is out and says he has a mess to clean up and then he'll be out of class. Ok, I can still make it to the gym, right? Nope! His teacher calls and says my son took off. He ran home (we live right across the street) and I get him back at school. We finally get home from school at 5:30. There went my gym workout. And I was so physically and mentally exhausted that I just wanted to go to bed.

So, I did not get my workout in or my daily challenge in, and I blew it on eating out. Today I WILL make up for yesterdays challenge and do 50 pushups and 50 crunches. Sorry for the long vent. What do all of you do when you have days that start good, then go from bad to worse?

sundinsgurl

Awww sounds like a very rough day krklstephi! Just try to put yesterday behind you. Everyone has bad days..

When I have a bad day I just try to do REALLY well the next day. one day isnt going to hurt ya.. im sure you have gone many years eating fast food and not exercising. The main thing is that you have the intention to want to improve and YOU CAN!!!

I also didnt get to do any of the challenge yesterday - so just like you I will make up for it today.. 50 push ups and 50 crunhces - together we can do it!

Hello everyone,
The doctor decided to put a cortisone shot in my knee. It does feel better today, but he wants me to stay out of the pool for a couple of days because he worries about an infection so I be going back to the water aerobics monday. Maybe before long I can get back on the treadmill.

Sorry Krklstephi you had such a rough day we all tend to have those I know I do just remember it's a day don't let it ruin your week or your month that's what I did and believe me it's not fun.

Raindancer your awesome also........sounds like the cortisone shot is going to work glad to hear that!!!

I just had a reality check. Thanks to CasperO. I have total ignored my sweet tea consumption.
We use a cup of sugar to a gallon of tea. I drink 16 oz at a time. Usually 3 of these in the evenings. Way,way more on days I 'm off work.
My tea is 120 calories per galss...OMG:sad: No wonder I'm not losing.


Ok my friends here goes it..NO MORE SWEET TEA FOR ME!!!

sundinsgurl

Thanks Cnbathea and raindancer

I also had a realization!! I was looking at the calender for May when I was checking for my weigh in on the 6th - thought it was on Tuesday. Wehn it actuality - June 6th is this Sunday!!! I was supposed to be going away to a friends cottage this weekend - but the weather is supposed to be horrible so we arent going. Not worth it to drive 3 hours for one day of crappy weather. We are going out for a friends bday tomorrow - which means drinks, drinks and more drinks. But I will work my butt off tomorrow, and Saturday. No drinking Saturday night - just water, water, water and than I can weigh in Sunday morning :S (scared cause of drinkin tomorrow night I heard it can affect your weigh in for a few days)


raindancer - Good thing you figured that out! Try Green Tea - plain nothing in it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm MY FAV!!!!!!

What I do if i drink is drink a bottle water prior to drinking in between drinks I have a bottle of water and it helps to cut down on my consumption plus flush my system......Your right what we do may take a few days to show up on the scale I think if you get your workouts in and plenty of water you should be fine!!!

raindancer - Great Job on not having your sweet tea! That is very impressive since we know how much you love it

cnbethea - I will once again wish you luck on your first 5k. Its inspiration to make me want to run! Can't wait to hear back tomororw on how you did

need to loose - No worries about not reporting.. the good thing is that you are still completing the challenge each day!! great job I can just imagine how hard it is to loose weight with a child too. I have a hard enough time without having a child. lol

raindancer

I'm having just a dry green salad for dinner. I only have 40 calories left for today... I can do it.

suninsgurl-Thank you. You know how Texans love their sweet tea

cnbethea- good luck tomorrow..above all else have FUN.

Hey Ladies!
I've been so sick for the past week, so I haven't been doing any workouts. I'm ready to suck it up and get with it this week. My goal this week is to lose 5 pounds. I think I can seriously do it. I'm going to be doing the 30 day shred as well as the challenge for this group. Now I'm excited and ready to report back in the morning!! I WILL get up early and workout before the kids wake up!

momie of 2 - welcome back Great job on the 3 pound loss thats awesome

roughneckswife - welcome back to you too.. sorry to hear that you havent been that well. It definetely is hard to work out when feeling like crap. We've all been there. hopefully you manged to get up before your kiddies and do a workout


As for me - I did sooo good last night! I had quite a few drinks... which wasnt that good lol but the part I am proud of is that at the bar they always give out free popcorn at each table (to make you drink more) its covered in butter, salt and some other yummy seasoning. I only had a few kernels. Than my other weaknes is after a night of drinking I usually come home and munch out on crappy stuff. I only allowed myself one serving of crispers - than made myself go to bed Today my boyfriend and I are going to the driving range, to play mini putt and he said he would play tennis with me. No drinking tonight.. than weigh in tomorrow morning.

krklstephi

Ok, so this week was a no go for me. The week went from bad to worse and then better, and then worse. Not only with the eating, but all the stress that has happened this week. Hopefully, next week is a lot better. Any idea what the challenge will be for next week?
