Good morning ladies, got a little behind there for a minute. Been doing pretty great for two days now, this is day three and I am eating my oatmeal/blueberries and clementine (aren't clemmies the nicest holiday treat? So tiny and sweet, easy to peel, yummy) and dressed to go to the gym. Went to the gym Thursday and Friday, feeling SORE today. Waiting for the advil to kick in and I'll go today.
I have to learn to not quit when I feel sore. Well I know not to hurt myself, is there a good way to gauge when you should push through the pain and when to hold off? In my case, if I back off because I am sore, I get several days without exercise, then either I never go back or I just go and get sore all over again. Any words on this topic?
Jeni, I cannot believe your injury at work....then to slip in a big spill like this now. Wow. OSHA would have a field day at this place. I haven't read the last week thread yet, but I hope they aren't giving you crap about taking care of business with this. Companies can really fight ppl on this stuff. ugh.
Kris....not smoking is like quitting drinking, drugs, losing weight....its all one day at a time. One minute, one second at a time. I have learned to pray my way out of obsession a lot, ask your Higher Power (God? whatever your belief) to just remove the obsession to ...(eat, smoke, drink, use) Well just know that we love and support you trying to quit. How hard it must be with everyone around you still doing that. But we accept the things we cannot change, change the things we can and learn to know the difference.
Shari, lucky you on finding a workout partner!!! I have tried that, but never worked for me. I would always rather wear my ipod and tune everything else out. But I did ask a trainer to push me a little on thursday and I totally appreciated that. So I wonder if you have the right idea!!! I just get embarrassed that I can NOT talk while I exercise, I'm too short of breath or that I get so winded so easily. idk....sounds like excuses, excuses to me.
Emiloots....OMG I am doing my cookies today too, I am freaking out about it!!!! NO LICKS, BITES OR TASTES....no BLTs. lol We had employee appreciation week this week and Friday was a big sheet cake and luckily I did resist it... WOOT....I wanted it....esp when my coworker was like, OH this icing is SO SWEET....BUTTERCREAM....sighhhh. lol But I can talk myself out of store bought birthday cake, isn't it actually kind of nauseating? Usually spongy dry cake and sugary, sickening icing, and never satisfying? I'm not a huge fan really, but never turned it out anyways. Now today, with holiday cooking.....we'll see if I can apply the same strategy. Esp with all the sugar that goes into them. I am making no bakes....so maybe I can talk myself into being tired of oatmeal since I've been eating so much oatmeal lately. UGH. Good luck to you anyways....I'm with you baby.
MM...the mind is a curious thing, isn't it?! I sit and pretend I'm doing the right things too....we can actually exhaust ourselves if we think hard enough about exercise. lol. Oooooh my abs!!!! I did my MMunches yesterday and thought of you suddenly.

E- gym this morning, bowling tonight. prob some housecleaning between
E- B-oatmeal/blueberries and clementine L-soup? D-Lean Cuisine? ugh need to plan, and I do eat too much processed/frozen foods but honestly, I need them to do the portion control thing for now. Yes, high in sodium and preservatives, but really, pretty satisfying, taste reasonably good, and fills me up with a small salad.
D- One day, one step at a time. Take it easy. I only have today, right now.
Oh and does anyone know anything about Physician's Weight Loss? I have heard I "should try it" by like two seperate people this week alone. I don't like the sound of it...
