Phew! Sorry been gone so long. Midterms are finally done, thank god! I have gained a few pounds but it was expected due to everything. I'm back on the wagon now and worked out yesterday for the first time in a long time. We'll see how this goes! Lol. How are you doing?

Thanks for the faith and compliments Patricia! I, however, am not feeling very inspired today. I feel like giving up. I haven't worked out since Thanksgiving because of EVERYTHING. Thank god I only one more midterm next week and then I'm done. I'm going to try and force myself back into my normal habit this week as the…

I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough time. You're doing better than me in the working out aspect. I STILL haven't worked out because I've been sick and now I have my midterms. Ugh. I have no time to do anything. Although, thanks to stress I have lost 3 pounds :ohwell: I baked on Sunday too, made a whole pile of apple...…

Lol. I did pizza on Friday too!! We CAN do this, you're right! I'm going to bring my workout stuff to my sister's so when I pick up my kids after school, I can force myself to workout before I get the kids home and am too tired. Remember, tomorrow (or today too) is a new day. We can't change what we did yesterday, we can…

Ugh! What a weekend!! I feel terrible because I haven't worked out since Saturday and all I've done is eat!!! And of course it's now my favourite time of every month. I'm counting this past while as a write off and starting fresh tomorrow. Not to mention I have midterms coming up so I'm going to need the stress relief.…

Sure. We can report our weight to each other once a week. I weighed myself yesterday and was not impressed to see a slight gain. Right now I'm sitting at 137 and would really love to get down to 115. Here's hoping. I know I'm building muscle right now so I'm going to wait a bit to see if the scales tip to the fat burning…

Actually, what they mean when they say that muscle weighs more than fat is that when you take a piece of muscle say 6 inches by 6 inches by 2 inches and compare that to fat of the same dimensions, muscle weighs more. They aren't talking literally, they're talking in size comparison. I'm in school to become a personal…

Hey Patricia! I forgot to check in yesterday too. I'm doing alright. I need to work on the diet too. I didn't workout yesterday because I was just so tired. Thankfully today's class involved 45 minutes of cardio testing so I'm counting that as my workout. I was supposed to Chalean Extreme today but I'm burned out. Thank…

Just checking in. Did Chalean Extreme Push Circuit 1 today and I'm really going to feel it tomorrow! *ouch* :sad: It's all good though. Lol. What about you? How did your day go?

Hey! Sorry for the delay, school keeps me busy. Lol. I got your friend request! Thanks for adding me!! :) As for my goals, well I want to lose about 20 more pounds. I wasn't weighing myself for a while and then weighed in the other day and was a little annoyed to see that I had a slight gain :noway: . So now I'm weighing…

Hi Kattie, I'm Holly. I know exactly where you are coming from because I was there too. I gained a lot of weight with both my pregnancies and hated myself. I'll tell you what worked for me. When I finally came to the conclusion that enough was enough, I started really small, and I stayed at home. The staying at home thing…

Hey pshook! I'd love to do that with you. I'm in school to become a personal trainer and this semester we have a 4 part project to do. It's a personal fitness assignment. Part 1 was designing our workout plan. Done. Part 2 is following it AND keeping a log of it. :noway: My new workout runs from Sept 30 to Oct 30, and then…

Whenever I'm feeling tempted, I try to use a quote from Chalene Johnson: "Nothing tastes as good as lean feels".... it generally works. You need to find something that distracts you when temptation stares you in the eye. :) Holly

Thanks guys!!:)

Hi Jaimee, I'm Holly. I'm also looking for support as I'm finding it difficult to stay on track. I'm not new to working out but I'm just finding the drive and motivation is gone. I'm a single mom and going back to school (to become a personal trainer... ironically. lol) and am worried about the ability to keep ALL of this…
