Since my birthday is tomorrow and i'm going to my favorite Japanese cuisine place I decided to hop on the scale and see how i've been doing. I only went to the gym yesterday so far because my week as been packed. I saw an 8 as the second number!! I am out of the 190s. I am probably going to the gym today (and maybe even tomorrow) and then on monday so I hope I can keep the yummy tempura from bloating me up! I hope everyone else has a great weekend!
I love your attitude... workout more so you can eat the foods you love!
Have a lovely birthday and enjoy the Japanese!:flowerforyou: x0 -
So nice to read everyone's up and down comments. It's always a challenge and hard work. I, too, love the idea of working out more so that you can enjoy a treat without feeling guilty. I haven't been doing the challenges, but rather just stuck to my original workouts. I will try for the extra challenges this week. I feel like I am in such a better mood with my kids when I am sticking to my plan and taking care of me. I hope you all feel the same.
Enjoy the weekend....and relax, spend time with family! Remember the weekend means taking a break from the weekly routine and taking time for yourself.0 -
Well I have good news for everyone... as you know I have found the last couple of weeks very difficult motivation wise. Everyday I have woken up and thought "OK I will get back to it today" and everyday I've done worse than the day before.
Well finally I am back on it. I'm taking one day at a time and my plan at the moment is to stay within my calorie goals and just do a bit of exercise each day. I started the 30 day shred yesterday and I'm going to do that each day.
To anyone who has fallen off the wagon - ONE DAY AT A TIME. Just try today to make some good choices.
How is everyone getting on with the challenge. I've done a mile each day and today I am going on a three mile brisk walk.

Wonderful news!! That is why this is a journey. We will hit a few bumps in the road! Keep up the good work!0 -
ive been increasing my normal gym workouts every night as well as getting my extra mile in there, so im keeping up with the challenge for the week!0
-
Who's going to get their extra miles in today?? I'm going up to Spitalfields Market today and I will surely get lots of walking in!
Also got up early to do the 30 day shred!
Enjoy your weekends everyone. If you find weekends hard just try to make one or two good choices and you will feel better and more motivated.
Go for it and don't hold back!

Great job 2Y4T!!! :happy:
I got my extra mile in today after the 30 day shred! :happy: Weekends are my hardest time, but I have a game plan to succeed! We are going out for my FIL's birthday tonight, but I already know what I am going to order. Today is a God made eating day for me, so I will just skip cake afterward.0 -
I've definitely been getting my extra miles in this weekend... been doing a lot of window shopping and walking with my boyfriend since the weather was nice. So far this weekend I've been doing pretty good with limiting the calories, mainly so I won't feel so guilty tonight! I won't see my boy tomorrow so we're going out for dinner tonight and I don't plan on being very good! I'm going to enjoy myself and eat what I want and hopefully it won't be too bad on Tuesday!0

BY FAR, the best week I've ever had working the program! Everyday busted it outta the box...I am so thrilled
A week of firsts :devil: First BodyPump, it was so awesome that I did it twice, first Core session...yeap, twice, & first BootCamp Fitness...I kinda did it twice....did half and died, but I actually went back and did the other half!
Yeap great week :happy:
Hope tomorrow's weigh-in reflects this week's worth!

I've screwed up all weekend.
No exercise, crap food.
Wow. Don't want to see that scale.0 -
Just popping to say hello! Hope all is well.
Have a good week and remember below this week!:flowerforyou:
Daily Inspiration for February 13, 2011
Appreciate imperfection.
Some of the most precious gems in the world have flaws that do not diminish their worth. When a diamond is a deep yellow or brown, it is considered more valuable. So, what you might assume is a serious flaw is really a great strength.
Do you judge yourself by impossible standards? Do you berate yourself for lack of perfection? Your flaws make you unique and precious. Your sensitivity means you are compassionate. Not looking perfect makes you approachable. Surviving pain brings others hope. You are not a worthless rock; you are a precious gem.
Action for the day: Think of three people you admire. How do their flaws make them unique and precious? What flaws might people appreciate in you?

I dont know what has come over me the last few weeks! I just can not seem to get back on track. I started out with this challenge at 184.5. I weighed myself today and I'm 187! I didnt even weigh in last week cuz I was over. I will weigh in tomorrow and rejoin if I am accepted. I feel I have gotten my motivation back and completed a good 52 min workout this a.m. I just hope I can stick with it this time. I need to be healthy! I am looking for a job and its hard to be confident when you are uncomfortable in your own skin! Also, my marriage is a bit rocky right now and its really taking a toll on my food intake, need to figure out how to control that no matter what is going on in my life!
Thanks for listening!0 -

We would love to have you back. Sometimes life gets in the way of this stuff. I get the stuff about relationships, jobs etc having an effect. I lost all motivation for a couple of weeks. I was feeling horrid. But I am getting myself back into it. Love the dip, love the plateau x0 -

Thank you for that inspiration! It's a great little reminder for us all!
Last night I was pretty bad when eating out for Valentine's Day, but I don't feel guilty about it because I've been good all week gearing up for it. I got a lot more excercise than I normally do on weekends, and I'm planning an extra workout tonight. I've been feeling great this week and I hope the scale will reflect it tomorrow. Good luck to everyone for weigh in tomorrow! :happy:0 -

Most of us are emotional eaters:sad: and we in the same boat as you as far as needing to figure out hot control our eating no matter what is going on in LIFE.:grumble:
This is my motto and serves me well most days, "we can not control others actions but we can control how we react to them."
Good for not giving up!:flowerforyou:0 -
Well, my birthday was this weekend and I went out to dinner 2 times and have definitely NOT been watching what I eat. I taught 2 hours of zumba on Saturday, including toning routines with light weights. Then I went to lunch and had.....a big fat burger. and some onion rings. lol
I weighed myself Friday to check to make sure I was on track and was even down a pound since the Tuesday weigh-in. I weighed myself today to see what the weekend damage was ....and I'm back up like 3 lbs! how irritating. I hope it is just water weight from all the salty foods I ate. hehe. here's to hoping! didn't make it to the gym this morning because I had to get an hour of studying in before work.
I'm starting to feel stressed out because of my new night class. It is a math class that is 21/2 hrs long twice a week. On top of my 9-5 job and teaching my zumba classes, I'm feeling a little stretched thin and it is just the first week of class.
I feel like when I am stressed, my body stores more fat. Does anyone else feel like that?

Well, I'm back on track today.
My month 2 of INSANITY started today and Oh My Goodness! I thought I was gonna die! I had to take so many extra breaks, but I didn't turn it off (I've done month 1 several times, but could never get up enough strength for month 2. SO I'm pretty proud of that.
Tomorrow's weigh in will be brutal though. On top of my already sabotaged weekend, TOM started this morning and I feel awful. Explains my insane hunger last night though. I couldn't sleep and just felt SO hungry but sick at the same time. Awful feeling.
Hoping that tomorrow won't be TOO scary and that I can see a big change the following week. I had peek before the weekend and had FINALLY lost a pound--only to put it right back on.
Sigh...
But like I said, today's a new day.0 -

:laugh: I don't think I've ever felt like that except for when I cause it. When I'm stressed I tend to eat terrible food and skip the workouts. Which is exactly why I gained quite a bit of weight in college :grumble:0 -

Good for you! Treating every day like a new day is the best way to keep your motivation up and convince yourself to start up again after you have lost your way.0 -

Sound like your body may be requiring more maybe go one day 1200 and one day half exercise back and forth the whole week and see how your body respond...........Just a thought on something to shake it up a lil!0 -

Im actually still pretty please that I didnt gain after missing half my exercise last week due to having a cold and then drinking/eating LOADS over the weekend (I gave up and didnt even log the drinks I had on Saturday night :S)
This week however I'm back on track and going in for the mega burn!!
