Christmas Countdown Challenge (Closed) - Week #10

163.5 today. How is it I go away for four days, eat healthy and exercise the whole time and gain 4 pounds? Very discouraging.

Were you at a higher altitude when you were away? That happened to my brother when he went to Lake Tahoe for a few days--his weight went way up but he lost it the following week. Or was your exercise new/different/harder? My weight always goes up after starting a new workout--it's always temporary though. Another thing to consider, if you're not already doing so, is to eat your exercise calories. In my case, and it's true for many, I have better results on the scale when I eat my exercise cals.

Whatever happens, we're with ya!!

Just bought my copy of the 30 Day Shred that you guys are always raving about!! LET'S DO THIS!!!

Excited

CW 223.4 Just can't get motivated! HELP!!!! Caught a glimpse of myself in a glass building today and was soooo disappointed!!!! I need to just get my fat *kitten* moving and stop eating all the crap!!!!!!!! I truly am not content being this way, but sooo hard to shake this ughh feeling!!!!!!!:grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

Well friends I got a few things marked off the list today. Got to running class and made it through. As I drove home I started thinking of all the things that need to be done for work this week and all the driving I have to do:noway: I am out of town tomorrow for work so I still have to iron, pack and have more computer work to do. I won't get home till late on Weds...Thurs I was going to be out of town again but forgot about a school meeting I HAVE to and want to go to for my son. So I will need to get out the door by 5am on Friday to get to a meeting I need to set up etc. I soooo get the busy comment form Steibll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I try to keep healthly things in the car since I am there alot, and on hand at home incase I need them...lean pockets, hummus and carrots,, string cheese, yogurt, special K multi grain crackers are a few favs.

On a side note... we have an amazing program here focusing on 11 & 12 graders. It is called every 15 mins, which stands for every 15 mins someone is killed by a drunk driver. They choose kids from those grades and from every social group that would have an inpacked in the school if they were killed by a druck driver. They only pick 25 kids total and I am proud to say my son will be one of them. They recreate an accident where there are dead and injuryed kids along with the drunk driver in another car, then the police, fire dept, corinor, ambulances come and rescue the kids. If yours is one that dies, the sheriff comes to you house to tell you!!!!!! They then have the grim reeper come to classes every 15 mins and take someone from class, they are made up with white make up to be dead and they go to their classes but are not allowed to talk to anyone since they are dead. This shows the kids during the day how many people are effected by something that could have been prevented. They also go to the court house where the drunk driver is on trial. My son will be one of the dead in the accident, and will be put in a body bag!!!!! This has made me very emotional, but he is excited to do it and it is such a great message!!!!! That's what my Thursday meeting is about. HEAVY STUFF

Wow sorry my post is a rollercoaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey you girls struggling.....You can do it. Try getting motavated by your health instead of being thin! Maybe if you look at it another way it won't feel like such a big task. Remember this....HE WHO HAS HEALTH HAS HOPE ~ HE WHO HAS HOPE HAS EVERYTHING!!!!!

Let's get healthy!!!!!! :smooched:
