:flowerforyou: Cherie, Congratulations on getting into the 150's. I just read your profile where you said that your friends think you're "obsessed", well good for you. :bigsmile: I've been told things like that too, by women who are eating doughnuts as they tell me I'm getting too thin and I'm too "rigid" about my eating.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Keep doing what you're doing and keep coming to us for support and encouragement.

Barbie thank you!!! After my 5K I went out to eat lunch and then after that I went to the gym and people are like "What?!?!?! you just worked out." They don't understand that youhave to be focused...or at least I do until my goal is reached and even after that. I do not want to get back to where I was...It's just not going to happen...its taken A LOT of hard work to get to this point. There is no turning back. You guys are wonderful!!

I am so late checking in, but I've been out of town and recovering from that!!

I lost 1.6 lbs this week, I am now at 182.4, so I'm so happy!!!!

The best part is though I bought new jeans this morning and got to get a size 10!!!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

Haven't been there for ages!!

Tonight is boot camp so I will burn it up then! Hope everyone has a great week!

Hi guys,

I've lost 1Lb, so am down to 141 now - yipee!!

Hope everyone else is doing well and good luck on your journeys everybody

Well my gym parking lot was totally snowed in, the local roads are crap, and my snowboots are still wet from yesterday, plus the sidewalks are non-existent. So instead I stayed in and did:

dynamic stretching, ~5 min
1 min. wall sit X2
1 min. plie squats X2
1 min. front lunges
1 min reverse lunges
2X15 push ups
2X12 tricep pushups
2X15 sit ups
2X30 sec. side plank lifts each side
All with 30 sec rests between exercises
*(no back work today because it's VERY sore from shoveling...chest and abs were sore too, but not as bad)
60 Min. stationary biking

It was about 75 min. total, not including the stretches afterward. I wish I could've gotten to the gym safely, but I am glad I did this instead! Some days I'm so discouraged that I can't go to the gym that I don't want to do anything else LOL.

-40 mins circuit training-DONE
-Christmas shopping-DONE lol

PM Goals:
-30 mins cardio
-Stay within cals

I was bad last night!! Stayed up WAY too late and munched on junk food!!!

4 Joe Joes (like oreos)
3 small sugar cookies
~1 cup baked cheese poofs
1 tbsp goose liver pate' on whole grain bread
1 tbsp nutella and 1/2 banana on whole grain bread
small slice gingerbread cake
~1/4 cup heath bar ice cream

Obviously I felt like CRAP after that. :sick: This morning I woke up and did 30 hard minutes on our stationary bike. Later on I'm lifting and running. I'll probably also play Wii Sports Resort today. Other than this I have been super good! I think it happened because I underate so badly the day before.

You are such the dedicated person as it relates to exercising and eating healthy that I am not worry at all that you had a bad day. I know you will get back on track w/no problem. We all have those days so don't beat yourself up about it.

I wonder if part of your eating this extra food has to do with you being at 1200 calories and doing all of the shoveling?
Any way, I also think you should feel somewhat accomplished....did you notice that your *bad Food* listed above contains healthy food choices? Goose liver on Whole grain bread and nutella and 1/2 banana on whole grain bread....since when is that junk food !?!?! Just don't feel too bad about it. You are obviously making better food choices.

This reminds me of a Jillian Michaels Article I read recently:
Keep in mind, all this work — mental and physical — is helping you look at your life in new ways, with deeper insight and understanding. The bottom line is this: You can never go back to your old way of life if you want to maintain your new physique. You're on the wagon, my friend. As with any kind of recovery, just because you're rehabilitated doesn't mean you don't have to be vigilant to guard against a relapse.

All that soul-searching and honest examination has to continue. All those behavior modifications and healthy, life-affirming habits you learned have to stay in place every day for the rest of your life.

I know, it sucks and it's hard. Whatever. It's the truth. The good news is that it will get easier. You'll get accustomed to how awesome it feels to treat yourself well, not to mention how awesome you'll feel every time you look in the mirror or catch your reflection in a store window! Eventually, behaviors and choices you've had to think through will become gut instinct.
