    Ugh, I am so mad at myself. I went away for the weekend and did not do very good on my diet and did not excercise and I weighed myself this morning and I have gained weight and the last thing I want to do is have a plus and set me back on my chart for this. I am so angry with myself. I should have made better choices over the weekend. All I can do now is do better everyday and in the future :(

    Don't beat yourself up about what's already done--just focus on today and make it a good one! Your gain may just be water retention from lots of sodium, etc. Who knows what tomorrow will look like? :happy:
  • I too weighed myself this morning and was not happy at what I saw! I'll officially weigh in tomorrow morning, but now I'm nervous. I'm off to the gym for what I'm determined to make a great cardio workout because I really don't want to record a gain tomorrow!

    Thank you for the suggestion of not eating carbs after 2pm. I'm going to try to at least cut-back and eventually get to that goal.

    I love the idea of the next challenge being about mindful eating!

    Have a great Tuesday everyone!

    I'll admit that this week's push-up challenge has been difficult. I managed my 20 last night - just barely :)

    Happy November everyone!

    evening all! another busy day. feel like have abandoned you and not being able to get on here like I want. leaves are raked into piles and need to get them picked up. Rain is forecast for tomorrow. put some brick on our front step. can do touch up's if we get a warm day, mostly done otherwise.

    now...the bad part. I have not been prioritizing ME. I have not done my regular walk since last week. eating has been kinda out of control..and slacking big time on the push ups. doing ok with water.

    gotta get back on track here. 2 full weeks done and it's Nov 1st. this is going fast....I want results. gotta do the work!

    don't forget to post your weights tomorrow. keep up the great job...I'm inspired by all the exercising being posted on the news feed. You people are some real machines!! don't ever stop!

    Hey all! Got in my 8 cups of water today and managed 15 push-ups, 2 more than yesterday. :) Since I've only been in the challenge for a couple days, I don't think I will have lost weight, but I'll weigh in tomorrow morning and let you all know. :)

    I did pretty good today! I did weigh in a day early & found that after gaining 1lb earlier in the week, I've lost half a pound again. Hoping by tomorrow I'll be breaking even on last weeks weigh in. I always get so discouraged when I gain, & feel like giving up. It feels like it takes SO MUCH WORK to lose but so LITTLE to gain it back. So I got really depressed yesterday, then today I"m back on it! <3 I can't wait for NEXT Wednesday's weigh-in!

    I am so very happy to have joined groups on mfp.I just joined this group and I just bought a scale today! Wow! I was surprised. I gained 17lbs since my wedding on 7/5/11! I was 197 lbs. I can't believe it! So, started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and also attempting ripped in 30. I am determined to get to my goal of 155lbs. I haven't been that weight since a teen. Thanks everyone for your posts, they are motivating.
  • I have done push-ups all but one day this week!!! It was not easy. I could only do 10 yesterday because my arms were so sore but back to 40 today (girly push-ups of course!!!). I am proud of myself because I kept up with my water over the weekend. I couldn't tell you when was the last time I had a soda. My food was not great but it never is. I struggle with my diet all the time - BUT I went to Burger King today and got the grilled chicken sandwich instead of a burger so that is definitely a step in the right direction! Still not comfortable showing my food diary.

    Keep up the hard work everyone! Good Luck on all our weigh-in's!

    I checked in yesterday, but I'll repost since it's Wednesday.

    SW: 201
    Last week: 199.5
    This week 196

    Down 3.5 lbs! Yay!

    I have been keeping up with my water intake, up to 100 oz a day. I'm ashamed to say that I have only done push-ups once this week. I wanted to do REAL push-ups so I tried them to see how many I could do. Four. :noway: Haven't tried again, but I have been keeping up with my cardio this week. Baby steps, right? Have a great day!

    OK. I have been doing so well and usually on my day's off, I misbehave. Well, yesterday was my day off and I got up with a plan and the will and the motivation....and then danged if teenagers don't happen!!! lol. I really ended up with such a stressful, emotional day, let's just say I blew It !!! So mad at myself. But I guess it was a choice I made. Anyway, my choice for today is to pick myself up and move through the emotional crap and focus on myself again. I love this group. I can scroll through and see you all are just like me. Normal, everyday life sometimes gets in the way and then you get back up. Thank goodness for you guys to help with my motivation.
