mmmm, easter is a chocoholics worst nightmare and BEST DREAM eh? I had a few pieces of chocolate, I didnt overdo it at all, and I went for a run each of the past few days too....wow, I SURVIVED EASTER.....I hope everyone else did too....
Happy Easter monday everyone!
Ate a whole box of choclates (like 12 little square things), a large portion of a BIG toblerone and probably 1/6th of a cake, all told - in other words, I was HORRIBLE. I just can't have food like that in the house! I didnt weigh myself this weekend - I'll wait until next weekend when maybe the damage will be somewhat mitigated!
well ladies, i had weigh in's tonight. I am up 1.5#...but i got the bmi and my measurements done and i've lost inches, and i have lost 12# worth of fat since the end of january, so the scale is up, but im gaining muscle, and im retaining water. Hopefully next week i'll start to drop again. I didnt do badly over easter, i dont think i had any junk food. Glad to hear you all had a good easter, and now i want to know the goals you are setting for yourselves by the end of april!! mine, is to lose 6#, that's a realistic goal, and one i should be able to keep.
Good Work JellyBeanz....too bad the scale doesnt reflect the inches we lose eh? way to go on the loss...
I stepped on my scale this morning and it said 125.6 YAY YAY YAY...I am thrilled!...now I have to tone up my post-3-babies-in-4-years-saggy-skin and I'll be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy!
Hope everyone is doing great, this weather is starting to make me think summer is coming-YAY!! Thank god all the SNOW is melting!
So.. finally weighed myself after my easter / girl guide cookie binging... up a pound. I guess it could be worse, but changing that little ruler backwards sure wasn't fun! So now, I'm probably looking at a day or three of cravings, getting back on track. Sigh. Seems to be thing with me lately, getting off track at work, with school projects, with eating... I used to have willpower and discipline. I guess I left it someplace...
Do you all mind if I join you? I am from Ottawa, too, and REALLY want to lose the 30 pounds I've put on over the last year and a half.
I always weighed 120 which, while a healthy weight, made me look a bit gaunt. After getting married (and stoping waitressing...high activity), I put on about ten pounds...which was ok. However, my DH and I quit smoking together and I put on about 15 pounds. At that point I was at the upper limit of healthy for my height, etc. All the while, my husband and I were trying to conceive and shortly after my quit gain, I was put on fertility meds (and have been on them for over a year and a half now..off and on) and I gained more weight - too much!
We haven't been successful yet, but this weight is too much. Our infertility has been hard enough and now I am miserable with my self-image.
I find my biggest challenge is self-control (not putting food I don't need on my plate, not having more than one yummy marg when we go out..etc.) and forcing myself to exercise. I think it's a viscious cycle..I am unhealthy and too tired to exercise, but I need to exercise in order to get healthy! I think having support and being a part of a group will help immensely - if you'll have me!
Anyway, my current weight is 166 and my goal weight is 135. I am calorie counting (appx. 1200 daily, down from appx. 2000+) and I am working on exercise...trying to determine if I need a schedule, etc - do you find it helps to stay committed if you've set aside specific days? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
to answer your question, yes I do set aside days for certain exercises. I workout at curves 2-3 days a week and run 2-3 times a week. It helps a lot because I have my plan set 4 weeks in advance so I know when I am working out and where. My hubby is on paternity leave right now so I am able to work out everyday now, but when he goes back to work I will have my workout schedule ready and I wont miss a workout or procrastinate on doing one....lol...I think you will do GREAT, support really helps!
Charlotte- mmmm girl guide cookies...I am waiting for mine to come....mmmm Bad, bad me....stop....lol
Alright ladies, happy Monday!
Leanne
Well sept 21th/04 (day before I had my daughter) I was 204. I came home from the hospital on sept 24th, I weighed myself on sept 25th and I was 190. So it has been just over 6 months. LOTS of hard workI followed a VERY strict diet and exercise program! It was ALL worth it!
Anywho, thanks for asking....good luck to everyone today....( the choco monster is rearing its ugly head in the form of girl guide cookies.......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah)
my before and after (well about 6lbs bigger than I am now) are in the member gallery under leannem83
Hey ladies, had my weigh ins on Mondy, down .5#!!! better than being up i guess. I have to get on a serious plan here, and i cant seem to get motivated lately. I think its this weather!!! Im going for a long walk in the park this evening with my husband and daughter (weather permitting) so that should help me lose some more by next week, and i have to work at the nursing home, on my feet running around for 7 hours on sat and sun. Hope your weeks are going well!!!
Shenanigans....well, since having my daughter I first started out with a strict diet and I would use the elliptical 3-4 times a week and run 1-2 times a week...In November I joined Curves...(only due to my time constraints for working out), BUT along with diet and running a few times a week I shed the pounds...for me, running however far or short ALWAYS works to get my back into shape...So now that I am at my goal weight I go to curves 2-3 times a week and run 2-3 times a week...Plus, I am chasing my kids all day long and taking them for walks, and as soon as the snow is gone I will be running with the 2 youngest in a jogging stroller....for me I need VARIETY....dont want to get bored of something I will need to do for the rest of my life,right?!
Anywho, yes this morning my scale said : 124.4
I am THRILLED!! That is slightly under my goal weight, BUT all goals are made to be changed...I am now changing my "GOAL" to my 10km run for this year.
and I am hoping to run a 13km race in October...
Happy Wednesday to everyone! Cheers!
Leanne
Goal: Run 10 km by May 29th
Long term goal for 2005 : run the half-marathon Casino run- 13.1km Oct 23
hugemom...what's wrong????!!!!!!
I think having support and being a part of a group will help immensely - if you'll have me! 
Good Morning Ontario Ladies!
