thanks guys! definitely adding a coffee to my afternoon today. tired and maybe it will help. :tongue:

my diet has a pretty good decent amount of fiber and i'm always over the 8 glasses of water minimum. I think I will look into the super dieter's tea. A colonic must have come to my mind from my days of watching too much mtv or vh1 about killer celebrity bodies and how they do it or something :laugh: we'll see how it goes.

avocado instead of mayo or butter is ridiculously good and well worth it.

i did the same thing :( i just wrote it all out so i could face it and reminded myself that today is new and i reminded myself of my goal and what i'm going to do to achieve it.

my weekend was horrible. i have no excuse. i can only think that the stress from the week carried over to the weekend. i ate and ate and then ate some more. i worked out a ton but i know in my heart that it didnt balance out what i worked off. ugh. today is new but i will not weigh in. i know it will bring me down. a new…

UGH. i had the same. my pants are tight and i am feeling low.

congratulations! you look great and even if they're slow in coming off, they're coming off! :)

My first week of the May 2010 challenge has not gone so well. As per my other posts, man has it been stressful. I haven't been able to get a really good workout in with exception of last night, but even then it wasn't my usual. And i've been stress snacking big time and have been over on my calories. I'm a little tempted…

what happened yesterday happened. today is new. just remind yourself of that.

Breathing kiiiiiinda worked. Lunch choices could have been better. Stress still alive and humming. HUmmmm HUMMMMMMM!!!!! don't know if ill be able to workout tonight..depends on if i work til 7or 10 (welcome to my life) and i've been here since 6am. :) so its either salad or something with more substance. this is sad.

trying to leave my hiccup yesterday in the past. today is definitely high stress at work. i've got to remember the root of the problem and search for different solutions. Breathe, C. Breathe!

small, attainable goals with each run. you can do more than you think. evenwhen you think you're taking your last breathe, visualize jogging 5 more steps or running to that tree ahead before you slow to a walk or if you're on a treadmill, try and go another .10 of mile before you slow for a walk. There is no shame in…

well, considering i'm a little late in joining and the month is pretty much over...i'm just going to set a mini goal of maintaining :) and try for 5 in May

i was so disciplined before my vacation to st. thomas, everything was feeling pretty firm. i worked out every morning on vacay and ate pretty healthy for breakast and lunch but took some liberties with dinner and definitely came back with some softness in the midsection and thighs some i'm with ya, girl. I'm back to adding…

for me, daily weigh ins at the same time work. a little obsessive yes, but once a week thing makes me relax too much. actually, i used to be more obsessed (let the judgement begin now) and i used to put the scale in front of my fridge. i know. i know. i don't suggest it. it's a horrible thing to do.

as tempting as it is to go under, you can't keep it up forever. Also, by going under 1200, you're messing with your brain at that point. I say, play around with carbs vs protein and watch your sugar intake but stick with the 1200 calories.

On behalf of my grandmother who lost her battle and for those who continue to fight and have survived, that's an amazing and wonderful thing.

:happy: That is SPLENDID!!! Keep it up, keep up the confidence! Who is awesome?! YOU! :happy:

i just made a DELICIOUS lunch that has +/- 200mg sodium serving. 1 cup cooked whole wheat penne or rigatoni 1 pack chicken tenderloins chopped up and cooked (usually 6 in a pack) 1 6 oz jar marinated artichokes 1 oz grated parmesan reggiano drain the artichokes before tossing together with the rest of the ingredients.…

with no therapy session to follow :laugh: going to the beach this weekend and instead of dusting off one of my old suits i made the decision to treat myself to a new cute suit. upon stepping into macys, my palms started getting sweaty at the thought of trying on suit at the end of a day where i had treated myself to a…

pizza and wine pizza and beer pizza and pasta pizza and wings pizza and... wait a second.... :laugh:

hey, never thought i'd be able to run a marathon and i just completed my third. :) with regard to original post....gradually build up to your goal pace, remember to warm up and cool down, stretch after your run, and don't omit strength training from your workouts. it's very helpful. good luck! you're going to do great!…
