Just checking in, will write more later. EXCEPT: to those who gave me "tough love" I know that you want me to be successful, so I quit pouting...I logged everything today and made it to the gym. I feel so much better. I don't have success with pre-logging, but the advice about going to the restaurant's website and seeing…

I didn't want to log today, so I put it off as long as I could. Every time I turned around, I was in the fridge. Also, we ate at Hardee's for lunch. I tried to do okay, not great, but okay...I had the turkey burger, which is actually really good. Then I messed up and ate all the fries, too! GAH! I kept with my New Year's…

GREAT weekend in MO with my old college roommie! I had to eat Mickey D's on Friday as I was driving, so I know that wasn't a great choice, and I was too tired from driving 4 hours to log anything on Friday. I just assume I went over and moved on! Anyway, Saturday, E (the roommie) let me sleep in...till 11:30!!! She got up…

Hi all! Just a quick comment. Still sore from working out yesterday, but I feel GREAT! Also, I'm going on a mini-vacay this weekend to Missouri to see my college roommate. She's great, really supportive, and has been praying for me and keeping me on-goals for a few weeks now. She also has a membership at her YMCA, so I can…

No personals tonight, because I'm really tired! I met with Kelsey today and she really kicked my butt. We did 10 minutes on the bike (using a pushing/pulling action with arms), then 20 on treadmill, 10 more on the bike. Then we went to the weight room (which was crowded and terrifying for me) and did some weights. I was…

HI everyone! Alupinsk = thank you for your kind words of encouragement and reminding me to LOG IT!!!!! I did well today calorie-wise. (YAY) I didn't have much time today to get online, so I logged everything tonight...Just a miracle I didn't go over! lol NSV: I went to the psychiatrist today and we are going off of one of…

Bump!!!! loves :love:

Just a confession tonight. I did terrible on my eating. I didn't exercise ANY control! I ate cake, ice cream, cheese popcorn, and I don't even remember what else. I also drank a 24-oz. bottle of Mt. Dew. Wow! That's a lot of JUNK!!!! AGAIN: I learned that I need to log it AS I eat it or I waaaaay overdo it by the end of…

Well, I have an NSV (emotionally speaking): My grandmother (the one that passed recently), her brother, my Great Uncle Bill was taken off life support Wednesday. Of course (and understandably) I was majorly sad, but I didn't go into a depression. I stayed out of bed and didn't eat too much more than I usually do. The…

Quick hi to all my friends here. Depression has been bad lately. Suffering for about two weeks, which has lead to one week of not logging food or exercising at all. I talked to a friend on the phone tonight that I haven't seen in several months and she's trying to lose weight too. She's a police officer and at Academy,…

So, I won't go into details, but depression-wise, this week as been seriously crappy. I don't know how else to put it. I just want to crawl into bed and be done with it till Monday! I went to the mental health clinic where my doctor is to see if there's anything we can do till winter is over. He was out of the office till…
-
Wow! I had a lot of reading to do!!! I haven't been on in a few days, just randomly logging. Kinda half-heartedly, I guess. I have no reason for this. Just a funk-ish type of mood swing that, thankfully, is now over. However, I don't think I'll be seeing a loss on the scale this Saturday morning...ho hum..c'est la vie. I'm…

Okay, so I know I've already posted on here today, but I have great news! I'm down 2.2 pounds this week!!!! Yay! Cel-e-brate good times, come on!!!!:happy:

My knee still hurts today from my workout with Kelsey yesterday. I can bend it, or I can put weight on it. I can't do both! I'm a little excited and a bit nervous for my weigh-in tomorrow (I always weigh on Saturday mornings because my weekends are sooo crazy that I either overeat a lot or I don't eat enough, depending on…

Hi All! Sorry I haven't been on here in awhile. I've been dealing with some depression lately. I think it's seasonal affective disorder (SAD...what an appropriate name!) and I cannot for the life of me find my mood light. It's a special lamp that is supposed to simulate sunlight and affect the neurons in your brain to…

Well, I just signed up for two new classes at the YMCA. The first Friday in Feb., I'm going to Swim 101, which is a very basic swim class, where the lifeguard meets you at the front desk, then takes you into the community room to talk about things like: How do you prevent the chlorine from ruining your hair/swimsuit and…

It's a little late, but here's my Sunday Share: My name is Hayley and I live in Iowa. Just in the past six or seven months, I've been working as a gymnastics coach at our local YMCA. I love it, as I was a gymnast in jr. high and high school. It's amazing how much has changed since then. (I'm 30 now) When I was a junior in…

Hi all! Quick note this time: I went to a training meeting at the gym where I teach gymnastics and the girl leading it mentioned she just got her Master's in kinesiology (which she described as a big word for exercise science) :) I asked her if she'd like to make a (very) little bit of money as my personal trainer. Since…
-
Okay, so I'm feeling MUCH better now. I went to a job interview (not looking to replace my job as gymnastics coach, but to supplement the income). It went well, but there were start-up costs that kind of made it impossible for me right now. At least I'm getting out there again and trying, right?! I did well today eating…

HI all! So I woke up in a very good mood today. I made a spinach protein shake, but didn't drink it. I logged it, realized it was more calories than I wanted to spend on breakfast, and stuck it in the fridge for later. It also had PB and a banana in it, and really, that was all I could taste: delish! Well, just thought I'd…

Sorry for not logging in yesterday. Had a really bad day. Stayed in bed from 1 p.m. Wed. till 5 a.m. Thurs. I feel like today is going to be better...it kinda has to be! I do work tonight, so I'm glad I'll get to see my gymnastics team girls, and it's only for 3 hours, so I should be able to pull through and do it. There…

Had the OB-GYN appointment yesterday. I thought I was just going in to discuss the results from the ultrasounds, but they done a biopsy also. Turns out I have a polyp (don't know if I'm spelling that right, but you get the idea) and with the heavy bleeding and my thick uterus wall and the extensive family history of…

Hi Friends! So, I totally just typed for about 15 minutes and then deleted all of it. I have no idea what happened!!! EEERRRRGGG! Anywho, I'll start over: Kaye = Size 12: You go, lady! That's awesome!!!!! BJ = good luck. Hope you get the news you are hoping for and your mind is at peace. Robin B = Welcome! I'm kinda a…
-
@skinnyjeanz = I think you are my new bff!!!! lol! JNettie = are you a therapist by trade? That is exactly what mine said! Start with small, easily attainable goals and reward myself when I reach them. The thing that needs to change is that I used to reward myself with food...didn't work out so well. haha! You are right…
-
Hi all! Happy Sunday! Okay so seriously it didn't start out that way...and it's only 9:30 a.m. I lost control and binged last night. I went shopping on Friday and bought a bag of Sweet and Spicy BBQ SunChips. They were gone by p.m. Saturday. I think, with my willpower being what it is (nonexistent) that I'm going to have…

Hey there! So, I was super pumped when I got up this morning, which is REALLY unusual because I HATE mornings! But, my hubby promised that if I got up, we'd have a healthy breakfast together. This is what I made: Chocolate Fudge Oatmeal! (If anyone is interested, I got the recipe off thechew.com.), anywho, it tastes like…
-
Wow! Thanks for all the support for this curious cat! First of all, for everyone who offered condolences on my Grandma's passing...thank you. It was much appreciated. I do need to confess, though, that I may have exercised too much because I hurt my hip. This is an old gymnastics injury from when I was in high school,…

What is TDEE and how do you figure it out? My Grandma died on Tuesday, and I've been working out like crazy to keep from eating my feelings. Her funeral is next Tuesday, but I'm so sore I don't think I'm going to be able to work out tomorrow. I'd like to go for a walk, but it's really frickin cold here in Iowa! I guess I…
