I'm with Italian_Buju i want to go to drag bingo too lol
well I did the boxing class and I met with my trainer. and as of now my food is good ( I am going to just take it a meal at a time so I don't over do my self with bad choices.
@Italian you can do the 20k, keep the goal in mind and push for it
@Jocoblossoming wtg for the walking, walking really is the best for us. and I hope the pain goes away
@astro I haven't had pop in maybe a year a half so you can do it, just take your time. I now mostly only drink water, with once in a blue moon have unsweet ice tea just to change it up a bit. lol but mostly water for this girl haha

When I was a kid, all we ever had in the house was soda.....both my sister and myself have not had soda in many, MANY years, maybe close to two decades.....neither of us like anything with any carbonation at all, ever0

OMG this is the most stressful week I have had in a long time! First work, then my daughter, now my fur baby.....I try and take life one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once, this is an example of those times.....this week is a bust....0
-
Well, there is science staring me in the face.....after five days of little exercise and crappy stress eating, I have gained back one pound. The good news is, I am not feeling stressed today....most of the things causing me stress are either done, or at least lessened for the time being. I am really tired though cuz I barley slept last night anxious for the vet to open this morning. Am back on the ball today though, however, instead of weighing in Monday like the last couple of weeks, I am going to wait until the following Monday to give me some time to fix this up.....
Where is everyone? I feel like I am talking to myself lol0 -
Um, that is weird, right now when I posted the reply right above this one, I saw there are FOUR posts that I did not see beforehand today, OR yesterday......
Skittles - I will get that 20K badge! I am a slow walker so I need a day that I am off and can basically walk off and on all day.....gonna have to try again in two weeks!
Welcome to the group PJB80!
Matt - I bet that makes it go down MUCH easier lol0 -
Ah Italian_Buju, you've had such a hard week but that last post sounded like you were going back to your old happy self. You have been able to see how your body reacts to stress and how you react to the stresses in your life.
This is the point where I've started to learn that I need to review my stresses and how to tackle the my eating and activity next time it happens, because knowing our luck Italian_Buju it will probably happen again![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
I sincerely hope that it gets better for you and good luck with the 20 K jeez that's a lot!!! Haha
I had a really bad night last night I actually didn't get to sleep till this morning at about 7 AM. I just could not fall to sleep it was really annoying.
So that kind of threw out my eating today, not a super bad way, but I made smarter choices. Like instead of going to Maccas I turned in into subway which is a better choice than what I was going to have. But I totally ate the entire foot long.
I managed 15 minutes of the mini challenge with some slight pain issues afterwards in my broken leg, but some medication and a rub down and it doesn't feel too bad now.
Hoping everyone is well and making better choices for themselves!

Thanks Astro-katie!
I do feel a bit like this week has chewed me up and spit me out.....I am feeling much better tonight, although I will admit I was so tired today from not sleeping last night that I did not leave my house....I did go for a little walk around my building, but really should have done more given the terrible week I had.....
However, I am back on the game, I work tomorrow so will get a lot of steps in and then plan to hit the gym on Sunday.....I have my food all planned out for tomorrow and ready to leave for work.....I will not let this week totally derail me!
How is everyone else doing as this week comes to a close??0 -
Ok I'm dancing tomorrow for sure. If astro_katie can dance with a broken leg my catastrophic lack of coordination is no excuse. On ward and upward.0
-
That's the spirit Italian_Buju!
Matfatcowboy: hahahaha did my other 15 mins today!
I achieved all my goals this week!
So happy!
Looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow.
Keep up the great effort people!0 -
This is way too early to get up for work
I feel good today, head's in the game and positive.....I can tell this is already an improvement because a bad week like that would take me out for weeks and weeks before I could get back on track, and this time it only took me two days after everything was alright again to climb out of the hole. I am not weighing in this week though, I know I gained one pound, but then had one more off day and do not want it to discourage me.
Glad you are doing the mini goal Matt, it was fun! What kind of music do you dance to??
Good luck with your weigh in Katie!0 -
Water---I don't drink as much as I should. I prefer plain but I know a lot of people that add those SF flavor packets to a bottle of water. You can try dif things to flavor your water...slice up a lemon or limes. Cucumber Water is very refreshing and good for you. Hummmm, vodka water sounds pretty good...with a splash of cranberry juice and a squeeze of lime! Though I'm pretty sure we have to count the calories in water too.
Oh, last weekend I went to a cosmic bingo and it was fun. Drag queen bingo sounds like a blast.0 -
Today was the weigh-in for the 90-Day Fitness Challenge for me to try winning that $10,000!
My starting weight is 304 pounds, which is 6 pounds heavier than my last weigh-in on Monday on my home scale. Monday was also the day I started my period and my weight is dives low, and I purposely ate large yesterday and this morning to (literally) tip the scales in my favor. My body fat is 53.6% ... I guess I know why I always float so easily in the pool! LOL
I then followed up the weigh-in with strength training and some cardio, rounded out by relaxing in the hot tub.
I off into the kitchen to make those Turkey Tofu Meatballs from this thread a couple of weeks ago.
Keep up the good fight everyone!0 -
Maybe now that you are officially weighed in, you will be motivated to really rock it!
I will be here cheering you on!0 -
@FloraJL good luck and good health!!
@Jewels416 I've heard that adding cucumber, lemon etc is a good way to add healthy flavones to plain water. I should stop hearing/seeing it and start doing it. Might make that next weeks challenge!
I weighed in this morning and I've lost 1.5kgs/3.3lbs! Super happy!
Looking forward to another gem rear week with all you fabulous people!!0 -
I feel a bit defeated.....
I really wanted to go to the gym today, I was trying to leave at 12:30, but could not finish my brunch on time and then someone stopped by....so I figured I would leave at 1:30, did a few chores, looked at the clock and it was 1:20, I threw my clothes on and rushed out the door in just enough time to see the bus drive by
I live in a small city and we only get bus service once an hour.....I cannot go at 2:30, I have way too many other things to do, so now I am heading out to get groceries and then come home to finish my Sunday chores....I am going to walk the hallways as much as I can while doing my laundry and try and get my 10K steps today.....that means I only got to the gym once this week though
I am gonna make it three times next week if it kills me! I can't go tomorrow b/c I am booked solid with meetings both before AND after work, but I am gonna go on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.....that is my plan!0 -

Well I will say I am glad I didn't go to the grocery store any later, it is freezing rain and hail out there now, on top of the 12 feet of snow we already have, roads are slick! However, I am bummed that I did not get out to the Y earlier in the day.....0

How the heck does someone get 10k steps in a day?! I guess I am still too ingrained in my old ways. The only times I have gotten 10k were when I took the kids to the zoo and another time I walked a 5k.
20k? Madness!
My hat is off to you. I need to get off my butt.0 -
Ok, not a great week for me! Here is the break down:
1. Proper morning hydration (I think I did this once, not even sure)
2. Post to this thread everyday except for tomorrow (I got this one)
3. Log my food six days this week (But still be mindful of what I eat on my day off) (Got this one too)
4. Get to the YMCA three times (If I only make it twice because I am too tired Tuesday I am ok with that, but I am going to try) (I literally did not make it once all week....I said in an earlier post I only made it once but now that I think about it, it was last Sunday, so, nope, not once)
5. Make my 10 thousand steps every day, and try for my 20K step badge on Thursday (Got my 10K steps only three or four times and never made the badge)
6. To blog once this week (on another site) (Nope)
7. Go to bed by 10pm every night this week (Not even once, not even when I had to get up at 4:30am for work the next day)
As you can see, not a good week for me....but I will say I am proud of myself that it did not take me forever to get back on the wagon.....it was just such a busy stressful week and I do not deal with stress very well at all....I get overwhelmed very easily.....
How did everyone else do??0 -
@Italian_Buju you had a hard week but should I definately be proud that you were able to bounce back so quickly. You also tried to find alternatives when things weren't going right, that's an excellent demonstration of your motivation and drive to make a healthier you. You have new plans for next week and will definately rock it! I believe it!
I accomplished all my goals for this week and I think it helps that I only make a few, as I'm known to sabotage myself or give up if I get too excited and make to many goals. When I really get into the swing of things I will probably have the habits to make more.
Proud of my weight loss and looking forward to another great week with you all!0 -
Italian, I normally dance country, ie. Two step, etc, but for this xhallenge, it's all pit bull and electronic. I need the beat to not stop. And it's in headphones so it blares, taking this as a music bath as well. I believe a music bath does for the soul what a water bath does for the body. Lose yourself in the music Sing along, shout, dance, whatever. You'll come out a better u on the other side. It's been too long since I've done that.0
