10 Week's To June

Hi everyone! I'm impressed with that kettleball wo for abs! Wow! Although I still have a long way to go and my weight has plateau'ed for a bit I'm still pretty happy. I do have some accomplishments.

1. The other day I started to see the line down the middle for my abs

2. Today I had to use a smaller sports bra to work out in

3. Yesterday I did that hard abs dvd Perfect Abs - love it, it's the best & it doesn't take long to do, like 8 or 9 mins. I still feel my abs from doing it yesterday, no DOMS today. The kind of DOMS I was having was incapacitating me - ie, if I moved I'd be in great pain, sneezing, coughing, so though I want to do another round of abs today I'll wait till tomorrow. I need to build up muscles there and I feel that doing it too much would not be doing myself any good.

4. My eventual plan with the abs is to do them a lot more but I'm going to build up to it.

5. Burned about 315 cals doing EA Sports Active 2....killer workout.

6. Need to meal plan today at some point.

Oh hell Gina... You know how competitive I am.

Hi
quick one from me tonight!

Food good and exercise excellent fun but really hard and made me feel a bit sick!

I'm an optimist so don't want to start 'over egging the pudding' but I really think I am finally starting to get a little definition in my stomach - I have the 2 lines which go vertically down appearing! My PT who is more reasonable even said she could see them! I'm not sure how much I'll end up with; I have escaped loose skin everywhere else (and am fairly defined and muscular) but have lots there! My newest pair of Jeans (6 weeks old) can now be pulled down without unfastening and are not safe to run anywhere in!
Wow Greece sounds great, I used to live in Cyprus and have been on holiday to Crete last summer but have never been to the mainland! The food is my favourite food in all the world!! Have fun Cassie!!!

Keep up the great work everyone!

PS The abs work I did tonight was with kettleballs Jay, so I thought of you!! Lol!

Well, I thought my food journal was going to be much worse than it ended up being however I was not pleased at all with some of the choices I made and trust me when I tell you if I had had chocolate in my house it would have been much worse. Apparently I got rid of sweets a while ago. The reason I don't eat them is because I simply can't, I don't know if anyone will understand this, but I just can't because I lack control, so thank goodness I did not have any. I had probably one of the most emotionally stressful day's at work ever. I have done many cps (child protective services) reports, but never like the one I had to do today. After five hours of talking to a child, security, police, cps and the parents, I was emotionally spent, I had to hold myself back from crying at least 5 times while talking to the parents and just concentrate on breathing due to the situation, it was tough. I don't usually become stressed due to situations with the children I work with because I can't, my job is to make sure they are safe and emotionally stable, but today was very different. I still can not stop thinking about the situation. Right after the first situation was dealt with, I was brought a child that was completely out of control and volatile and I talked calmly while he yelled for 45 min....tough day for me

I had breakfast early and did not eat until 7pm and I was hungry and warn out. I promise you that if I had had sweets in my home, this would be a different update. I almost bought some at the store and put it down because I knew I was going to have to confess if I did (I even tried rationalizing that I would just ignore posting tonight).....I swear this forum is 90% of the reason I did not buy anything. Right now, today, I thank God that I have this accountability and support.

I think I had 138 protein too tired to check right now
This was my planned rest day, no exercise.

Oh, Gigi, Greece sounds wonderful

Morning all! I haven't checked in or posted the past couple of days for my own reasons.. any how, I'm making it.

Yesterday I got to teach someone else how to do weights, which was fun because she's totally into wanting to do it. I haven't had anyone to work out with, so I'm hoping she keeps coming.

I took a photo, which I'm about to post as my profile pic, and uploaded it to facebook yesterday, and I think it's cute.. I woke up this morning to a comment saying "eat more chica" and a message saying "I second your friend--- Eat more food!!!!" I feel like my efforts have been totally worthless. I feel like sitting and crying, I've put in a LOT of hard work to gain these 10. (I'm not letting them get to me that badly, but If i felt like a pity party, I would be crying in the corner.)
Last night, between 7 and 9, i ate 1159 calories. I'm not a binger at all, my dinner was just high calorically. (PB, protein, banana, etc) I don't even know. Unfortunately I am down a pound maybe 1.5, I'm watching it (this is why I weigh daily, my body drops way to fast for me to find out I lost 3 in a week hah) trying to get it to stop, but I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing, and tomorrow with my trainer we're reevaluating so I'll see what she says.

But, people don't realize sometimes what their effects of a simple comment can be, just think about that any and every time something comes out of your mouth.
