    Wow Lisa.

    What can I add other than: Damn right, girl.

    You said it all.
    Like I said to Bianca yesterday in a side email : This journey is the hardest thing I have ever ever ever done.

    After I posted here on the 7th I continued my binging for another 2 days. Only on wednesday afternoon did I FINALLY get the courage to go and workout in an attempt to turn things around. I swear, it's like trying to push a school bus to make a 180 degree turn with only my mind and my entire body to do it. And so I did, as Jamie said, it's the working out that makes the difference for me. Amazingly. (Why am I still amazing at realizing the same thing seem to forget every friggen single time, don't ask). It's like if I worked out, I wanna the right stuff to fuel my body the right way and therefore I feel good and want to repeat it. If I don't work out.... ohhh.... that whole domino effect happens, in the negative. I know you all know what I'm talking about.
    So the thing for me seems to be: Just go workout girl. Things will be better after your workout. Every single time.

    SO this takes me to Day 3 of my being back "on track" type-a-thing.
    I don't feel like Wonder Woman but I don't feel like a huge pile of crap like i did 3 days agao either so I guess that is something to be grateful for to add to Lisa's list.

    Here is my plan for the rest of the week.
    I call it Week 6-Take 2
    • Monday: Binge and feel sorry for yourself
    • Tuesday: Binge and feel sorry for yourself
    • Wednesday: Bulk Chest+Bulk Legs and see the difference working out can truly make on your morale
    • Thursday: Bulk Arms + 50 minutes on the treadmill
    • Friday after work: (bike to work and back) + Bulk Back
    • Saturday after work: (bike to work and back) + Bulk Shoulders
    • Sunday after work: (bike to work and back) Beast Abs + Treadmill (or Beast Cardio)

    I haven't weighed in as I know I'm up and I sure don,t need the scale to tell me the actual number. I just don't have the heart to see it. I vowed to Bianca that I'll step back on it a week after my period which is coming in the next week and take it from there with the daily weigh ins again.
    No need to beat myself up about a number that will only discourage me and make me regret these last 7 days even more. I don't need that.

    Trying to take Bianca's and Lisa's words of wisdom and be kinder to myself and not judge myself so harshly but that is still something I need to work on...

    All I have is today, is right now and the choices in front of me.

    Let's just keep going. Even though it's not the bestest of times for anybody right now, let's just keep on going... together.

    I love you guys

      Can't say the food intake is where it should be but it isn't where it was last week either so I choose to see the glass half full as opposed to half empty.
      Right girls ?
      I'm learning....

    I never got in my back workout. So I will start with that today. Thank you all for the encouraging words in this group. My motivation has been nonexistent. I got a nice nsv last night at work. I was taking a gentleman's vitals and he grabbed on to my upper arm. Then kept squeezing and then said wow you've got some muscle. It made my night;)

    HFM Training - Week 15

    Sunday - Rest
    Monday - 18 km long run

    Tuesday - Rest
    Wednesday - 8 km steady run
    Thursday - 6 km steady run
    Friday - 4 km fartlek run
    Saturday - rest

    Well I took I long rest last week, meditated and it just took the pressure off. Still, I was a bit nervous to run today, but I made it!! I put on a good audiobook & went very slowly. Only 3 more weeks including this one and one of those weeks will be a taper week with just a few runs.

    Jenny, I love your NSV!! Krystina, you are doing great & thanks for the Mother’s Day wishes! Hope that you all had a great weekend!!

    Great NSV Jenny ! Those little moments sure do go a long way into reviving our motivation huh ?!
    18 km Lisa !! This is the last stretch ! So inspiring to see you go through this program !

    You guys’ runs inspired me last night after work to get in a run of my own, outside, in the park, with the sunshine and the happy people everywhere like I used to do so often before the switch of focus to strength training. It felt great !! It was my version of Beast Cardio, doing 45mins steady jog, with no Garmin, no fitbit, no HRM, no nothing, just me, my iPod and my legs. It felt great. Outside sure is medication for me.

    I am feeling my groove growing back inside me....
    Can’t even tell you the sense of extreme relief it brings...

    Oh and i apparently misscounted as it was Week 5 tha5 was a repeat and now am in Week 6.
    Yup, found tha5 out when I filled my calendar...

    So this week

    • Wednesday after work : Bulk Arms

    My period started and I have been off the wagon for a couple days but have been trying to get back at it today.

    My workout schedule for the week:

    Monday-felt too blah to workout so rest day
    Tuesday- bulk legs- DONE
    Wednesday-bulk arms
    Thursday- beast cardio
    Friday- bulk back
    Saturday- bull shoulders
    Sunday -rest

    I MUST TRY TO BREAK THIS PLATEAU! I need some movement on the scale and my recent hormonal inspired eating is not helping. I am hoping to get myself back on track and try to make some progress. I CAN DO THIS!!!

    Monday- back✔ and chest✔
    Tuesday- legs✔ just did them at 230 am in my nurses station during a slow time. I did not use weights and added extra reps to try and make that up. I have a head cold and I've been dragging all night so it wiped me out even without the weights.
    Wednesday-arms
    Thursday- cardio/abs
    Friday- back
    Sat- shoulders
    Sun-rest
