Hope everyone has a good Monday. I didn't get any exercise in today because of TOM...its really slowing me down. :( I ate 1,697 calories today of the 2100 I should be consuming. I decided to drop the number down for most of this week and see how I do. Hoping not to have too much of a gain because of my stupid TOM. More than anything its just making me really pissy. Haha. Work dragged on forever today and I thought every student I had reminded me of the devil. (Just teasing!) Hope everyone has a great Monday as I head off to sleep in anticipation of Tuesday here in SK.

Hi everyone. This challenge is really big and I'm overwhelmed by all the posts, but thought I needed to post in this thread today.

I missed my workout. :-\

I workout every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday with classes at my school's rec center. I take Step and Kickboxing classes for the most part and also some core and strength stuff.

I'm in grad school, and I worked really hard all weekend on a paper that was due this morning so I was tired. I got through the day- worked 7 hours, went to class and had a few meetings, and I just couldn't go to the gym for my class tonight. I felt pretty run down and just plain horrible,l but now I'm just feeling plain guilty.

What do you do when you miss a workout? I'll try to get one in tomorrow, but my Wednesdays are long days as I work all day and have a night class.

Help keep me accountable!

Tuesday
 

I didn't track calories/points for today but this is what I ate:
Breakfast
3/4 of a bacon and cheese omelet
1 serving hash browns

Lunch
1 serving Carnation Instant Breakfast *Chocolate* with
1 serving 2% milk

Dinner
2 small servings of spaghetti with a little bit of gravy
2 small servings of corn

Hey all. So here is my food today:

B: Whole wheat cereal w/ banana, low fat milk
L: Lettuce roll ups with turkey, mustard, and 1 slice of swiss cheese, yogurt, pineapple slices
S: Dr. You granolar bar
D: Whole wheat spaghetti with lean turkey, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms

Looking at roughly 1400 calories for today.

I'm also SO SO SO excited because I asked my mom (who is living back home in the states) to order a special gift for me and send it here to SK. I asked her for the Richard Simmons Sweatin to the Oldies dvd set. SO SO SO Excited!!!

IgetfitNStrongforme - Thanks! I try to stay on plan. I know that I don't make the best choices for eating (cocoa pebbles?) but I've tried to do more "diety" plans before and I just can't stick to them. Straight calories in vs calories out is all I can manage! ;)

nbrown7384 - When I miss a workout I do one of two things. Either I just forget about it and move on, or I try to make up the lost time in the rest of my workouts that week. Usually if I miss a workout for what I would consider a legitimate reason (and I would consider your situation to fall into that category) then I would just move on and not worry about it, though I might try to eat a bit lighter the next day (say knock off 150 calories or so). If I just miss it because I was being lazy, or I decided to go goof off instead of working out, then I try to reclaim the lost workout time throughout the rest of the week, but I never carry missed workouts into the next week. Each week starts fresh.

To all the rest of our Red Team Keep up the good work!! :D

Hey all. I'm so proud of myself. I did one of the walk away the pounds videos tonight. Made a full 2 mile!!! Woohoo! I have a good feeling about this week. Especially because I'm trying to kick TOM butt! Haha! It's almost Thursday morning here. Hope you all have a great Wednesday!!

Can you explain to me how WATP works? Do you watch the video while walking on the treadmill, or do you walk in place?

I really don't know too much about it to be honest. I kept reading about it on this site in the exercise forum so I decided to youtube search it tonight. Randomly came across the 2 mile video in three parts, and thought, "Why not now?" Basically in the one that I watched/participated in was pretty basic but lots of fast paced stuff. NO treadmill needed!!! She takes you through brisk walking, side steps, kicks, knee lifts, and some other arm stretches while walking at the same time. I have to say, I have been trying out several new videos just trying to find what works best for me, and so far this is my favorite. I like that I can actually keep up despite how heavy in weight I am right now.

Did everyone see the Biggest Loser Last night? Jillian gave a trainer tip where she said that studies show keeping a daily food journal will help you lose 50% more weight. I know it's helping me post my food here.

Exercise: I taught a 30 minute aerobic class.
