Mrs T - I'm right there with you. I planned on starting week one of exercise this week (already behind everyone else) then both my son and I got sick. So, I'm committed to eating right and getting in the best amount of exercise I can. Today I'm going to at least go on a walk and do some yoga. My son is feeling a little better, so maybe we'll go out and play catch a little later. I'll just be doing the best I can this week. Emma, I hope you're feeling better, and Mrs. T - I hope your daughter gets well!
I felt better this morning so did my workout. Week 4, Day 1. 63 minutes. I can't let myself get lost due to illness. I seem to always do that so am proud I got back on the horse.
Hi, everyone. Well, I'm not sick anymore. I feel better. Maybe not 100%, but enough to feel good.
My return day to health was a good one, both with exercise and eating. I have to keep pressing forward. I've seen such changes already, I'm excited to see what the full planned 12 weeks will do. Hopefully it will be a good loss, but if not, there's always snack cakes.
Have a good night, everyone! Even if y'all are too quiet.
Hi everyone. I plan on heading back to the gym also on Monday. I've been sick all week with flu/bronchitis, so obviously I need to get over this first. I'll probably repeat some of week 2 before I start week 3. I can't wait for Monday!!!
Well, this past week was my worst one yet. I had a long talk with my husband about it ... how I became ill and just fell into bad habits. How I needed support at home because they're the ones who should really care about my health. Hubby is going to be my calorie check-in guy at night. I am telling him my target in the morning and then what I ate when we go to bed. My daughter, who uses my treadmill in preparation for track, is going to be my workout check-in buddy. I'll tell her each morning what my workout plans are and she'll ask me right when we see each other afterschool.
I am hoping this is what I needed to really feel accountable for my actions.
So, I'm beginning week 4 over again starting tomorrow. I am following a Monday-Sunday plan because I really don't want to wait until Tuesday to start.
I skipped my weigh-in this week out of total fear, but will weigh-in next Monday.
I'm writing this mainly for me. I know a lot of you don't check-in here, but I just had to get it out.
sounds like a few of us are getting back on the wagon after falling off - for whatever reason.
i am restarting week 1 again today after only completing half of week 2 last week.
the past two weeks have been horrible. we had two deaths within our family and needless to say, that was enough of a reason for me to gorge and feel bad about everything in life. very easy to fall into old habits.
i am determined to get back on track and am with you guys all the way.
I lurk more than I post in this thread - but I'm here!! Back on the wagon with all of you!! Hope everyone is feeling better and OP! Daisyboo - so sorry for your loss. That's rough.
Hi, everyone! I did exercise this morning. I restarted week 4 and am going to really push myself to succeed. I am not giving up no matter what and hopefully, having my family behind me will help.
On to some replies here:
Daisy Boo, I'm definitely one of those who fell off and is getting back on again. My father passed away a little over a month ago. His death was a major reason for me to do this. Then I read Jillian's book, my treadmill came, and I realized I couldn't make anymore excuses. I know firsthand how easy it is to fall into unhealthy ways. It's a big part of how I "care" for myself.
Mrs. T, thank you for the support. I'm glad you're moving forward with the exercise plan.
Hi everyone. As planned, I made it to the gym this morning. Cardio was a little challenging after my circuit as I'm still hacking abit. Good thing no one was near me on the treadmill. Its just a major clearing of my throat, but still. Day 1 week 1 finished, phew....forgot almost how energizing it can be.
Sorry to hear about some problems a few are having, but Emma.....it sure sounds like a fantastic plan to have that extra support 'team'. Good job. My bday is in a few days, and I've been 'priming' the boys to suggest a heart rate monitor....so we'll see!!
Angel, good job with your workout! I hope you get your desired gift. My birthday was on Halloween and I bought myself a treadmill then told hubby after it was already being sent.
