Monday:
1. Book physio - Done
2. Under on calories - Done
3. Water – Could have been better
4. Don't stress – Done!
Good Morning!
What a relief! I went to see the physio yesterday who did a bit of ultrasound & massage then said no more training this week, plenty of ibuprofen with some stretches & exercises and should be fine for Sunday’s 5k! I feel so much better, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, I’m not craving junk food any more, & I slept really well last night. I would have been gutted to have had to pull out. She also gave me advice for training for the marathon next year.
Momma – Yay for clean socks!
Steph – Two cows! I just know I’m going to spend ages trying to spot the difference now.
Kathy – Thanks! How’s the step going & have you managed a decent nights sleep yet?
Leela – Looks like you were planning a super productive Monday, how did it go? 200th post hey?:glasses: Threads doing really well this month.
Silver –Don’t get disheartened just keep trying.
Nothing too original for Tuesday:
1. Under on calories
2. Water
3. Walk at lunch but take it easy
4. Stretches
5. 30 minutes on the house.
Have a lovely day!0 -
HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT DAY!
Frubjious, take it easy so you can do the 5K on Sunday! And don't stess on the cow thing.....LOL0 -
Kim, nothing got done yesterday! unbelievable. I wish I could redo Monday! The only thing I did was take my daughter to girl scouts. I didn't do ANYTHING productive. We spent all afternoon at the park, playing catch and frisbee. That was the only workout I did, but I don't even count it. Then I was tired and took a siesta. She let my sleep longer than I wanted to and next thing I know, it was time for girl scouts. ughhhh.
So I'm going to keep my same goals from yesterday!
I did one thing right yesterday. Continued my job search. It wasn't on my formal list of things to do, but that is an ongoing goal!0 -
Sounds like you had fun though.0
-
Leela you are an amazing, caring, kind, motivation woman.
Kim I am so glad you got the go ahead and that they are fixing you up.
Nam!!! You are the woman! Seems like nothing knocks you down but if you stumble you balance out quickly!!! You are and awesome role model!!!!!!! and beautiful too!!!
All the new kids are fitting in finely with our little group. Enhancing it a tad if I do say so myself!!!
Well I didn't do too bad this weekend nor yesterday. I have actually been coming in way under calories, but to me that's ok because I have them set a touch high anyhow. I have been struggling with my carbs, but almost zigzagging. **Not intentionally** But maybe it's working for me.
June 14th:
1.) water
2.) don't get frustrated at work (im already frustrated and trying to calm myself)
3.) Eat what I brought-don't go to lunch and try to leave at 3:30 so I can go home and get the house clean and laundry done before we go on our camping trip this weekend.
4.) Wii fit BABY0 -
frubjious... I know, right? Haha! Drink you water today! :drinker:Steph – Two cows! I just know I’m going to spend ages trying to spot the difference now.
BouncinBack4Me... Glad the calories are working out! I set my goal a little higher too, so I'm not starving myself to be under on days when I don't workout. Stay calm! Do deep breathing. In through the nose for a short count, expanding the belly, and out through your mouth like blowing through a straw for a slightly longer count. :flowerforyou:0 -
Goals for June 13:
1. Water.--Yes.
2. Healthy choices and track my food.Mostly, until evening, and yes--UGH!!!
4. Bed by 9:30.--Yes, but slept badly.
My knee started bothering me last night while sleeping! This happened once before and I don't know what I could be doing IN BED to make my knee hurt! It is feeling better now but it woke me up and then made it hard to sleep. I'm pretty sure it is arthritis. If this keeps happening I'll have to save some money and make an appointment at the local clinic (I don't have insurance).
Had a bit of a sugar binge last night. Feel kind of icky today because of it. Why don't I just go to bed when I am tired? If I stay up I eat!
Goals for June 14:
1. Water.
2. HEALTHY choices and track my foods.
3. Start sorting my wire.
4. Bed by 9:30 ( or earlier if tired!).
Season 3 ended on May 6th. They do show repeats but they are on at 11pm on Saturdays and I seldom stay up that late.pmjsmom... Right on! Are they finishing up season 3? I *LOVE* all the crazy stuff that goes on between the characters (not even including all the external conflicts).I also love Fringe! Love them all even gene the cow!
LOL! Me, too!
Kim--Most of the time I sleep pretty well but lately there have been the new summer sounds (neighbors with the windows open) and now these aches so sometimes it's not so good. I'll get used to the sounds and I'll get the knee thing figured out and then it'll be better again.
I like the step but can only do it for about 15 minutes at a time. That'll get better, too, but I sure don't want to aggravate the knee. I somehow thought I'd never get old!
(Now I have to play 'spot the cow', too!)0 -
I've gotten more done at 10am today than I did ALL DAY yesterday! My daughter got invited to play board games at a friend's house this morning. Mid afternoon there is a program at the library and this evening she is going swimming to practice her stroke/laps/endurance. So I know if it didn't get done before 12, it probably wasn't going to get done AGAIN. But unfortunately, I didn't get a workout in. Maybe I still will but it will be late this evening. But if I don't get to workout today, I know I will get a kick a__ workout tomorrow with zumba and training.
Well I gotta run. I have to say that stayng off MFP is a large reason why I was actually able to get some work done!

Argh. No goals met June 12th, no goals set June 13th, and it's 6pm on June 14th...
Well, here's to June 15th:
I'm only a quarter away from my 100 miles walking goal for June and the month is at its half way point. Mathematically and perhaps also realistically this goal seems impossible... BUT, I have to just keep facing forward!
1) Walk 5 miles
2) Fiber it up to 30 grams
3) Drink my 2 liters of water
4) Log ALL my calories (food and exercise)
5) Get to sleep earlier than usual
6) Start moving out slowly0 -

I'm tired, my job canceled me today & reschelduled for tomorrow :grumble: And I'm to darn lazy to go shopping for fathers day or go buy spinach :indifferent: , Tomorrow doesn't look so good either since I have two jobs I have to do & I need to get my exercise in first. I better get a father's day gift by Thursday So I can mail it out in time
It's weird I go from a sugar binge one day to a carb another. Today I'm dieing for cheese :sad:
Kathy..... I need to get to bed by 9:30 too........ yes Good Goal :blushing: But I'll be lucky if I get in bed by 10 PM
I think I have arthritis, I have a difficult time opening water bottles or any jars. No Pain! But No strength!
Good Luck with your knee pain, waking up to pain gotta Suc--k :frown: . I'd probably try one of those heating pads & wrap around my knee & put on a low temp.
Leela.... That's my problem right now, I'm on MFP and can't seem to get anything accomplished, NOTHING!!!!! Thats the reason I have to workout first before getting on. :bigsmile:

Kx0 -
Momma, I hate to hear that about your dad and my prayers are definately with you. I can only imagine the worry you are feeling right now-and I believe you did the right thing by reaching out for help in prayer. It would be different if you were posting that someone had an affair. Maybe your mom just doesn't want to accept it and with everyone knowing now that means she'll have to talk about it more? Who knows but I am def thinking about you.
I have bombed most of my goals this month. lol WOW BUT I'm not doing terrible. Where I'm lacking I'm doing something else that really wasn't on my list. BUT ANYWHOOOOO. I have to get my specific goals done today!!!! They are crutial!
1.) water----drank some beer last night and I have a HORRID headache.
2.) enjoy my daughters class as they come take a tour where I work.
3.) eat light. Yesterday was too much
4.) go to Sam's Wholesale when I get off work so that I can get food and drinks for our camping trip this weekend. **KEEP IT HEALTHY**
5.) CLEAN AND PACK LIKE A MANIAC WHEN i GET HOME, FOR I AM LEAVING AS SOON AS I GET OFF OF WORK TOMORROW.0 -
Goals for June 15:
1. Water.--Yes.
2. Healthy choices and track my food.--No and not all of it.
3. Bed by 9:30.--Yes.
Yesterday was a bad day. Work was stressful (there's some infighting there that affects us, too--being told different things by different people. Very frustrating!).
Then I found out that my mom (85) had to be admitted to the hospital. She fell over the weekend, was checked but appeared fine. Then she started hallucinating--seeing children, bugs, etc, and getting very agitated. She is VERY upset and angry at being in the hospital but they need to run some tests and observe her for a while. She lives in Phoenix. Please pray for her and for my sisters' who have been caring for her. They need some answers as to what's going on.
Momma--Now we'll be praying, too!
Kim--enjoy your time off.
Goals for June 17:
1. Water.
2. HEALTHY CHOICES and track ALL my foods!
3. Bed by 9:30.
Have a good day, everyone!0 -
Sorry I've been absent. My week has had high points and low points. (Jess, thanks for laughing with me during some of the lows. Sometimes you have to make light of the situation.)
Yesterday I did burn almost 1100 calories with zumba and training and a little running. But I probably ate back most of them (if not all). Shamefully, I didn't log it. I should have. I was busy. I know its an excuse, but maybe I just didn't want to see the truth staring back at me. Today I'm off on the right track, but I always start that way and get derailed by mid-evening.
I decided to sign up for a 5K. I wanted to do it much sooner but was sidelined by my knee injury in February. Its not until August, so it will give me plenty of time to slowly work my way back into running. I really miss the natural high I feel from running. Nam, I'm sure you can relate to that.
Headed to zumba again tonight. My neighbor asked me how did a lose so much weight. I told her I could show her better than tell her, so I invited her to go with me tonight. I told her its intense, just do the best she can do. I'll let you know how that turns out!
Anyway, I guess I'll set some goals.
1. no soda (I can't believe I drank 3 cans of diet pepsi yesterday. That's the most that I have in a whole week, let alone a day).
2. all water and tea (I didnt have a single cup of tea yesterday)
3. eat filling foods and don't snack in between meals (guilty of that yesterday too)
4. zumba in the evening.
5. eat a light dinner after zumba.
6. (and most importantly). Follow a few job leads.
Sorry I'm so chatty today. Guess I'm just making up for the past few days.
Have a great day!!0 -

Leela, Leela, Leela :flowerforyou:
You are NOT ALONE, the last three night's I've pigged out & definitely Did Not LOG it!!! Shamefully, embarrassed as heck that I ate back all my exercise calories. It always seems to come at night too. UGH!
My husband & I used to Jog 2 miles together, way back in my younger years. I LOVED it! I know how you feel about the natural High. I've been walking NOW ever since I started MFP in the middle of November and my first goal was to jog to the beach which is a little less than 2 miles from my house, :ohwell: This whole time I have tried adding jog's to all my walks to build my strength up. BUT Still can't Do IT!!! :frown: It's my knee's, It's my energy. I just can't stick with it.
I wish you all the BEST!! Your still young plus you've built up strength with Zumba, So maybe it will work for you. JUST TAKE care of that knee.
DON'T worry!!! You and I are going to get our butt's back on track. :drinker: YES WE CAN !!! Yes You CAN !!
Luv You!!!! 0 -
I thank everyone for their prayers for my dad. My mom definitely is in denial, so pray for her as well.
I had a great day working yesterday, spent 7 hours walking a soybean field picking pigweed, burned a bazillion calories. It was hot, but it felt great and I remembered to eat so my only goal was accomplished.
I am going to Tennessee to see atucker_mom (she is on MFP too). We are gonna walk a 5K in August so we are gonna do the route this weekend. Can't wait.
I don't know if I will be logging on or not but in case I am not, I hope you all do well over the next few days. Everyone have a great weekend!
