    Good Morning ladies! I am so tired today for some reason. I think I am coming down with a cold, which is no fun! But I am determined to make it a good week.

    Question of the Day: In your journey of weight loss and adapting a healthier lifestyle, do you feel that a lot of the previous yo-yoing was due to your own self-image or feeling like you didn't "deserve" this?

    Somehow I went up 4lbs from 2 weeks ago.....but I think TOM is about to rear its ugly head soon.

    Nevertheless, I will keep on trucking. My plan is to do the 3-Day Shakeology Cleanse and then possibly look into the 17day Diet.

    Tuesday- Jillian 30 Day Shred
    Wednesday- Zumba Flat Abs and 20 Minute Express
    Thursday-Turbo Fire Fire 30
    Friday- Kickboxing or Boxing
    Saturday- Kickboxing or Boxing Class

    I know that my yo-yoing was/is due to my own self image because I want to look in the mirror and like what I see. It doesn't matter how many ppl say, "oh, you look fine the way you are! You do not need to lose any more weight, I wish I was your size........". Until I feel comfortable, like what I see, and am satisfied.....IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS. I am almost at goal and I'm not satisfied. I plan to increase my strength training in an attempt to tone all my body parts.

    Good morning ladies! Happy Tuesday!!! I have been crazy this past week or so and surely not on track like I've needed to be and deserve every lb I gained, which was about 4.... :( crazy that one week of being really stupid can make you gain 4 lbs... I think alot of it's fluid though b/c my hands are swolen and I feel so bloated and gross...so hoping if I push water today I'll get rid of some of this.... I was at a conference for work so it threw my schedule completely off...

    My exercise plan for this week
    yesterday: walked forever 1/2 time holding a 2 yr old
    today: My goal is to burn at least 500 cals... not sure how haha... I have alot of crazy cleaning to do, I went to Kroger this weekend and they were having a huge mega deal...so I have 40 cans goods that are on the floor of my kitchen right now, so going to put them all away and plan on picking them up one at a time to put them up in the cabinets... that should do something :) , loud music plus cleaning usually means me burning alot of calories...
    Tomorrow: Zumba
    Thursday: rest (I have work, then church mtg and dinner, so wont' get home til late...)
    Friday: your shape kinect game, hip hop abs, zumba
    Saturday: may try p90x dvd, crunches, may take daughter for a walk
    Sunday: rest

    Thank you for holding me accountable!!

    For todays question.... I don't know that I never thought I was deserving of it... but I think it had a lot to do with self image... and a feeling of hopelessness...kinda like whats the point... I'll just gain it back again etc.... not really having the motivation I needed...

    Question of the Day: In your journey of weight loss and adapting a healthier lifestyle, do you feel that a lot of the previous yo-yoing was due to your own self-image or feeling like you didn't "deserve" this?

    I am up 1.5 lbs this week. I have been HORRIBLE with logging every calorie because of these bite-size Halloween treats. If I eat one and don't log it right away, by the end of the day I've forgotten what I ate. Anyhooo! Back to work today. My schedule this week will go a bit something like this:

    Tuesday: Chest and Back
    Wednesday: Insanity Plyos
    Thursday: Shoulders and Arms
    Friday: Cardio Power and Resistance
    Saturday: Jog and Recovery workout
    Sunday: Cardio Abs and maybe yoga?

    And as for today's QOD: I think my yo-yoing is a result of my thinking that I could resume old habits (without working out) and keep the weight off. It was more of a lack of commitment on my part to living a healthy, balanced life. I can't say that I ever felt in my heart that I didn't deserve this. It was just flat-out laziness.

    I think mine was due more to a lock of commitment than thinking I didn't deserve it. I would start and start losing but then I'd just give up or go back to my old eating habit and also was looking for an easy or a short cut. Now I know better.

    great question!

    looking back, i feel like i never knew how negative my own self-image truly was. i was always the type of person who just "didn't care" and it showed. i think the reason i yo-yoed and failed on previous attempts to lose weight was because i wasn't truly ready to commit and live a healthier lifestyle. for me, this has been quite an emotional journey that i don't think i was ready to tap into in the past, which is why i always gave up. i didn't have the confidence in myself to believe i could lose a significant amount of weight. over a year and almost 50lbs later, i don't even recognize my own self anymore. looking at old pictures honestly shocks me that i never truly saw how bad i was. thinking about how i acted/dressed/felt back then vs. how i am now is so different it's amazing. i think to really see success with weight loss and keep it off, you have to fully commit. if you don't, you won't succeed.

    Well, since I am STILL yo-yoing. I can say that for me it's just laziness. I love to eat!!!! I find when I'm eating well and exercising I feel so much better but if I got more than a few days of exercising my eating goes to crap and I stop caring. I quickly get derailed from focusing on my goal.....:grumble:

    The reason why I asked this was because I believe that this was a lot of my problem. When I gained weight, my self-image was shot and I didn't think much of this until now. I think a lot of me didn't even want to try to lose the weight because I felt like this was suppose to be how it was. I had gained 20lbs for a5 years straight and there I was...I still relied on being the "intelligent" girl and felt like I wasn't suppose to be the "pretty one" so who cared what I looked like. A very negative way to think, but it was my way of thinking at the time.

    My self-image is a lot better than it was then I will definitely say that, and I realized that I could be pretty and smart too, and I defined that for myself....not anyone else!

    QOD: Truly it is neither, but pure laziness. I will work out and eat well and drink all my water and I will lose a few pounds. So I will feel better and then indulge in a treat and another and another....until it has been a week of horrible eating, no working out and water? what water. :grumble:

    I think mine was due to getting to lazy. I would lose weight and then treat the family to the buffet and by the end of the week I find that I had been eating restaurant all week.

    I still am yo-yoing and I think it does have something to do with self-image. I get frustrated because I want to look better and then end up getting stressed out and eatting like garabage .... and sometimes when I look in the mirror and I am like damn I am doing great I can eat out at lunch today comes to play. I think the entire weight issue for me is mental I know what I need to do I just need to get my mind to do it.

    So I feel like a really huge quitter today. :sad: I am quitting P90X with only 4 weeks left. The reason is because I am so unmotivated to work out when I get home because I know all the DVDs by heart and can recite them while I work out word for word. I cannot do the same workout for 90 days. I need a little variety. My God, I sound like such a whiner. Do you guys see the little violin?

    Anyway today I am starting the 30DS (I know and I just complained about variety). But I think I can hang on for 30 days and it is only 20 minutes a day. There is no coming up with excuses why I can't do it!!

    I feel you on the need for variety. I am doing P90X workouts, but have created my own workout schedule that incorporates some of my fave P90X workouts, jogging, 30DS, and some Insanity workouts. I am more consistent if I have a pre-set schedule written out, but I definitely get bored if I am doing the same thing over and over and over again. Best of luck with 30DS and if you ever feel like you miss Tony, he's only one DVD away. :smile:

    For me it was more about being terrified of failing yet again! My self esteem was in the can for so many years I just was "putting in time". I identified that I could no longer do the "all or nothing" and made small changes and slowly I am evolving into the person I want to be.

    I agree with the need for variety in exercise. I have P90X too but need the variety so some dvd's get played a lot more than others and adding in other workouts keeps it fun. It was becoming a chore to work out now I just "go with the flow".

    Here's to all of us getting stronger, increasing our self esteem and being good to ourselves!

    I was just wondering the same thing. :smile: I know I, myself, am recovering from the crazy week that led up to Halloween on Monday.
