Bless the hubby’s heart…
Posted by gottaloose4 on August 19th, 2008 |Filed Under The end of summer is nearing... |
I woke up this morning complaining to the hubby how much i really didn’t want to go to the gym this morning for the swim because i was so tired and for some reason i woke up on the negative side this morning telling him that i’m frustrated that last week i worked EXTREMELY hard, almost harder than i did when in high school, and i feel like i’m not seeing the results that i intended, especially since i’ve seen friends that i haven’t seen in a long time recently and they didn’t notice any physcial change.
so i’m just a bit discouraged right now, which is interesting because this entire time i’ve been very positive and optimistic about it. ANYWAY, he ended up telling me that he thinks i’m a plateau, that i’m focusing more on the number of my yards in the swim, instead of pushing myself until it literally hurts and i can’t go on. I was a bit upset, because i feel like i’ve been pushing really hard….but on the way to the gym, i called to apologize to him for my barking this morning, and agree with him (he’s been so supportive this entire time, and if anything has been the sole reason why i keep trying). so i jumped in the pool this morning (sharing a lane with an older korean lady, i’ve seen there many mornings) and started my laps…i ended up doing an additional 1,000 yards than i normally do; so that places my total swim this morning to 3,000 yards!
am i proud? hell yeah!
does my entire body hurt? hell yeah!
more than i thought it would, so i’m pleased that although at the time he sd something i didn’t really want to hear, once again he’s shown me that maybe i need to keep pushing harder. after the gym i came home rank 45 oz of water and had a banana (thanks APOLOGIA for the tip on the sore + banana, definately helps!) and then left with princess (1 of my 4 dogs) to drop off the hubby’s drycleaning. it was a total of 3 miles, we jogged maybe about half of that, maybe more like a mile. but hey, i was hurting and i am still extremely satisfied. i also had a yummy salad for lunch and am working on my 3rd 45 oz of H2O right now.
i hope everyone has had a TERRIFIC TUESDAY!

Thanks for the motivation! I made rob a deal that we could have fried chicken if we made it and I could control how much of this and that we use. He would love to drive down to church’s but thats just not going to happen. I’m not crazy about fried chicken myself so I’ll probably double up on the veggies. It’s more for him than for me
Wow! I’m so happy for you. Nothing feels better than pushing yourself and reaching new limits! Keep it up, girl!
Oh man, I guess the job hunt is just universally SO frustrating. Your situation sounds mind-numbingly more annoying than mine though - if you have all this great experience I would just think you would do extra great work at any job. Stupid employers, they don’t know what they’re missing. Thanks for the nice words about tomorrow’s weigh-in…but I wound up screwing myself tonight. Things could get ugly ahhh. Keep up your good work! You put the idea of swimming again in my head. Hey, anythings possible
Oh don’t you love breaking new barriers? It’s so exhilarating. It sounds like you had a really productive morning whether you initially wanted to or not. Yay for hubbies, even if they piss us off!
Those physical changes are there, whether outsiders notice or not. The most blatant one was your new record this morning. Many times too, people are reluctant to comment on each other’s bodies. I don’t know why it’s so taboo, I always welcome someone commenting on the size of my newly reduced butt!
Hi, thanks for the idea about drinking the water before bed. Thats a really good idea. Sounds like your doing good, Keep it up. I joined the Biggest Loser Challenge today so hopefull I can lose some weight then.
Hi
Thanks so much for the encouraging words. I’ve always tried to lose weight on my own, and I think this time, with all the encouragement and all the new friends I make, I will finally manage to do it.
One thing, I saw from your posts that you religiously exercise. I just don’t manage to exercise. I am really really lazy about it. Any tips to motivate myself?
Hey
I just wanted to thank you for your comment on my blog. I really appreciate it, and it’s great to hear that I’m not alone in this. I am feeling a lot better today and your words have given me a lot of encouragement, so thank you thank you thank you!

Good luck with the job search! Sound like things are coming up that might turn into a part-time job. Just be careful with Mr. Unprofessional. If you show up and he has a couch in the room and camera, RUN.
As for the swimming, sometimes our bodies get used to our forms of exercise. Your husband is right, you have to push harder to see results. But, what may also work is switching how you are swimming. Instead of going for distance, maybe go for a faster time. Or switch to the breast stroke or back stroke to make your body use different muscles.
Either way, good luck.
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful articles. In addition, the best travel along with medical insurance plan can often reduce those problems that come with traveling abroad. Some sort of medical crisis can before long become costly and that’s certain to quickly put a financial problem on the family finances. Putting in place the best travel insurance package deal prior to setting off is definitely worth the time and effort. Thank you
magnificent post, very informative. I wonder why the other experts of this sector do not notice this. You should continue your writing. I’m sure, you have a huge readers’ base already!
I’m not sure exactly why but this site is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
I think one of your ads triggered my internet browser to resize, you may well want to put that on your blacklist.

Hiya! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share. Cheers!
Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme. Thanks
Hey! Someone in my Myspace group shared this site with us so I came to check it out. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Outstanding blog and superb design and style.
Thanks for your advice on this blog. Just one thing I wish to say is the fact purchasing electronic products items over the Internet is not something new. In reality, in the past 10 years alone, the marketplace for online electronic products has grown significantly. Today, you will find practically any type of electronic device and product on the Internet, including cameras along with camcorders to computer parts and game playing consoles.
I have observed that sensible real estate agents all around you are getting set to FSBO Promoting. They are noticing that it’s not only placing a sign in the front yard. It’s really concerning building human relationships with these retailers who later will become customers. So, whenever you give your time and effort to helping these vendors go it alone : the “Law connected with Reciprocity” kicks in. Thanks for your blog post.
