200+ (Week 18) Fling Into Spring!

2nd of the triple post

Ugh...I was so tired last night I only got in about 15 minutes on the treadmill. It was like someone pulled the plug on me. I felt horrible. Even today I am a bit off. Not to mention I am having some severe back pain (not from the treadmill). But, I had a great food day and am going to try to get on the treadmill again tonight. I think part of my problem I have over extended myself this week.

How is everyone else today?

mish......hang in there. 15 is better than 0. go for 16 tomorrow. just walk, keep it easy

That is the same thing my hubby said. I do agree since in the past I would have even done 15 minutes.

Well. Bad bad eating habits yesterday. I had two lemon shortbread cookies. That would not have been so bad, however at 9:41 last night I remembered I had bought Jeff (husband) Lucky Charms in like the first time in forever and decided I needed to have a bowl. A HUGE bowl. WTF was I thinking? I ate them, didn't even really enjoy them and after felt so full it was gross. And of course I went to bed at 10!!
I also slept way too hard and didn't even remember hitting snooze until I looked at the clock and it was 6:24 where I usually get up at 6. 24 minutes lost is a killer when trying to get yourself ready and your very busy 3 year old!

Changing my workout around has been great but my body is so so sore and tired. I am not performing like I normally do at gym and it drives me nuts. I'm not burning as many cals on cardio either, and while I am sure that is a sign of improved cardio health it drives me nuts too. Hopefully this will help push my body into losing weight on the scale soon!!

Tonight I was planning on working out but everyone is going out for a drink after work and since I am sore and tired I am going to join them.

mish - Do what you can do! the fact that you are walking is great, you should feel proud!

Yeay for weight loss and yeay for exercising girls!!

cds, I have tried that recipe before and the family loves it, my husband is a big fried chicken fan and he wasn't to thrilled when I tiold him what I was doing, but it surprised him at how good it was, and those panko crumbs are actually good for you:bigsmile:

About p90x, it is a very good program, my only warning is...you will be buliding muscle and for that you really need to feed your body, lots of good protien, when I did the first round I wasn't eating enough and there were times I really pushed myself way to hard and I was still not losing, after I joined mfp and began eating more the weight started to come off again...there is no doubt that I am stronger, I can do more push ups than I ever thought I could and I am really close to being able to do a chin up un-assisted. I still have a lot of fat I want to lose, so I am doing 1/4 p90x and 3/4 cardio, p90x also comes with 3 different cardio dvds which I really like too, cadrio x, kenpox (kickboxing) and plyometrics (jump training), all of them will leave you dripping with sweat and I use them in my rotation too. There is a core work out that is fantastic and an ab ripper 16 minute dvd that will have you cussing Tony out, the remainder of the dvds are all weight lifting, or pull ups, or push ups. It is worth the money, just realize you have to eat...or is doesn't work and then you'll get frustrated....ask me how I know:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I have to thank you ladies, had I not told you all ready that I was doing 60 minutes on the elliptical I might of quit at 40, my legs are still killing me from my run, I must of really extended them, my quads and inner thighs were screaming...but I worked through it....got my 60 mintues in, 6 miles...day 2, level 2 of shred and my Pinbot Abs:bigsmile: , I have been doing 20 reps of each movement if it is a single move, if it's both legs I have been doing 40 reps...I could really feel it, I like it because since I am reading them off, I take my time and really focus on each move...sometimes with the dvds I'm rushing it!

Thanks guys for being there and holding me accountable, I feel good about tomorrows weigh in,,fingers crossed I would love to pull 2 pounds one of these days!!\
Need to get off of here, I have to finish cleaning my stove, sweep the entry (where my Bella sleeps), shower and off to wrestling this afternoon. I'll check in later.:flowerforyou:

hi im looking for a group for motivation and was wondering how do you join a group like this? thanks!

Oh by the way - I am stepping out on you but will invite you to join me. A friend is starting a new group "lose for life" with weigh-ins on Mondays (EEEEEK) but I said I'd try it. It will be a biggest loser type of challenge. I am comfortable with this group and will cont posting here but more support never hurt anyone. I see that Lacey joined the other group too. Superheros unite - we so totally rock in supporting each other.
