Oh my ! That's one very RED sunburn! Agree - Aloe... I have an Aloe plant kicking around myself for days like those as I'm VERY prone to sunburns (damn pale skin). I had a sunburn like that last year on my chest... and oh my the blisters.... I know it's bad to do but I popped them all... it was like bubble wrap, I couldn't resist... It's been a year since that burn and there's still a tinge of pink (if you look super hard) and I believe some scars from it. Sigh!
I'm in such a "blah" mood this morning. I am almost OK with the fact that I have to spend the entire weekend at work, because it will keep my mind busy. All I can think about lately is all the activities going on next month and how I want to be in better shape, and it's making me Le Stressed.
I've been making a huge effort over the past week to pay attention to hunger signals, as this is a huge problem for me. I eat way past the full point far too often, and I am usually reading/on the internet when I eat. I've been trying NOT to do that, and to focus only on how I feel. It's helping at meal times for sure.
However, I have gone over my calories by a hundred or so for the past few days (on veggies/fruit) because of true hunger in the evening. I don't know how I'm ever going to lose at a more consistent pace, or even lose weight period, if I can't get this issue under control while still participating in frequent running and strength workouts. My job is also very active as well-- I rarely sit at work for longer than a half hour.
Yay TGIF...Off to take my lil man out for the day He needs to be energized
DUST2BUNNY: My gym needs to step there game up. The machines are so out dated oh and they need to put in an AC... I guess for $20 a month I cant complain
The scale was uncooperative this morning. Lowest I got was 172.4 (up .2 from yesterday), and that was after exercising. However, my body fat % is down and my muscle % is up, so I'm not going to be too annoyed over that 172.8 that first popped up on the scale.
The weather is finally sunny after a week of rain, which is promising for my run later today. But first, I have a mover to meet with, work to do, and abs to rest after two intense days working them.
Hey Everyone! I am really starting to get more active on 3FC again. After losing all my weight I kind of went on a downward spiral of my healthy eating (as ya'll know!) and gained 8 pounds back! Well I've lost 2 of those pounds so I'm back down to 133.4 as of this morning. I'm hoping that a lot of those 8 pounds were water weight and can make it back down to 127 fast! We will see though. It helps (even though I feel like CRAP!) that I've been sick and not wanting to eat so maybe this way I can get my eating under control and as I start feeling better I will be able to manage it better. I also went on a "throwing" sweets away spree the other day..I tossed ANYTHING that I though I might binge on out the door in the garbage can! Needless to say the hubby wasn't too thrilled because it was ALOT of food..(oops!) Guess we are going to have to be careful about how we grocery shop for now on out.
Heres some personals-- Doubting: Wow girl you go burnt! Tanning bed or sun? and how long did you lay or stay out in it? I can't wait to start feeling better not to get burnt but to start getting some sort of color I'm pasty white! Yay for the awesome run!
FPSJ: That is one of my biggest problems..Not knowing rather I'm hungry or bored! Most of the time I eat out of boredem and even when I KNOW thats what I'm doing I will still eat and eat and eat! It's awful..I hope you can get it under control! I have been getting on here when I get hungry and looking at all the motivating pictures!!
Ferum: Sorry about the scale being uncoroporative! Hopefully it gets better. But yay for your body fat % being down!
doubtingJulia: A blog's an excellent idea! I can't wait to read it. Sorry the motivation isn't there for you right now. Maybe you should just take some "me time," as it were?
So today I went out and got my make-up professionally done. It was a lesson to teach me how to apply my own, as I've never really known how and that can show. I wanted to be able to do it for my wedding -- one less thing to worry about if I don't have to go to a salon that morning. It was a great experience! The beautician was really amicable and up-beat and I think we picked a really nice color set that both matches my natural skin tone and will work with my dress.
