OK - where is everybody? :confused:
Anyway -- what a quick weekend! I did however remember to bring in my measurements sheet! So far -- I have lost 7 inches! YAY! I'm looking forward to getting to Curves today. I really miss it on the weekend. I did get some aerobic housecleaning done on Saturday though, which is good... Have a great day! ------------------ 166/162/130 7 Inches Lost So Far!! |
Does it count if I'm not actually going to the /gym/ per se? I don't have a gym membership for a number of reasons, and work out at home instead. I'm planning on going home to my new Firm videos tonight, and would like to check in + add my voice to the group support. I think a daily check-in is a /great/ idea to keep up motivation and keep us all on track. copperblu 160/160/130 |
Sure, Copperblu, as long as you're moving! Welcome!
I had a so-so workout yesterday, and I'm feeling kinda flu-ish today, so I'll see how I feel when it's time to go to Curves. I hope I'm not getting sick! Have an active day! ------------------ 166/162/130 7 Inches Lost So Far!! |
Great! I went home + did my Firm video like I planned, even though I was hit with this unbelievable desire to simply lie on the couch the second I walked in the the door. So I'm pretty pleased. :) I can't workout tonight, since I'm going out with the husband -- grr. I'm excited for the "date", but I'm actually annoyed that I won't get to exercise, which is COMPLETELY out of character. ;) Good luck going to the gym, and I hope you aren't coming down with anything! Don't push yourself /too/ hard! -copperblu 160/160/130 |
Bleh! I feel horrible... I dragged my butt into work thinking maybe I'd feel better once I was moving, but I was wrong..
I worked out (took it pretty easy) yesterday, and like you, I will be missing my workout today. I don't think I'll make it much longer today.. my bed is calling! BTW, it's great that you got yourself going last night -- didn't you feel GREAT after you finished? Anyway... have a good one. Hopefully, I'll be back tomorrow feeling better! And have a great time with your hubby! ------------------ 166/162/130 7 Inches Lost So Far!! |
Hi! The date w/hubby was fun -- although I always manage to forget just how LONG opera can be. ;) No workout, of course, but we /did/ manage to walk 15 blocks from 45th to 60th, which is something. Although I feel bad for him, it helps that my husband has been feeling fat lately too, because it means he always wants to walk with me! Didn't get home 'til late, and now I'm all tired + grumpy. Still I swear to exercise! My theory is that if I tell myself often enough during the day that I'm exercising when I get home, when I /do/ get home and see the lovely welcoming couch, I'll feel so guilty about all that "build-up" that I'll feel compelled to work out so I won't "disappoint" myself. ;) Strange, but it seems to work! I bought more FIRM tapes today (I really need to be stopped) + a bunch of Kashi stuff. I've been trying to up the fiber in my diet, with some success, but I /also/ need to up the protein, and I couldn't think of any way to do both without eating something every 5 minutes! The new Kashi GoLean has 10g fiber /and/ 8g protein per serving, so it will hopefully go a long ways towards helping me achieve my healthy eating goal. I've always /mostly/ eaten well -- I tend to eat terrible things when I go out, but healthy things on my own -- but I'm trying to improve the balance of my diet. I currently drink at least 64oz water a day, and now I drink 3 cups of green tea (antioxidants!) throughout the day rather than coffee in the morning. My new "balance" goals are to get around 30g fiber a day + 40g protein. After all -- if I'm going to be building all this muscle, I'll need the protein to do it. ;) I hope you're feeling better, and I'm proud for you that you've managed to stay on track even when you're not feeling well. That's dedication! And hey! Where are the rest of the Chicks? We can't be the only ones who want to check in on exercising daily! ---------- 160/160/130 |
That's great that you still got a little walking in yesterday, Copperblu! Every little bit helps! http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//spinning.gif
I'm feeling much better today. I went home yesterday morning and slept most of the daylight hours away. That made all the difference! I'll go for a light workout this afternoon, depending on how I feel, and then we're off to the city for supper at Red Lobster. Now, I'm not a seafood eater, but both Mom and DH are, and she's buying him supper for installing her remote car starter, so.... I get to go too. I'm not sure what I'm gonna have, but I'll probably splurge a little! Speaking of strange ways to motivate yourself, Curves is having a promotion that if you workout a minimum of 3 days per week all thru Jan & Feb, you get a free water bottle. So...I find myself wanting that cheap thing sooooo bad that I feel awful for not making it !5! times a week! Oh well, my Mom says I'm crazy, but at least it gets me there! Anyway, I don't know what happened to the other two that were posting... but I hope they're doing alright. TTFN! ------------------ 166/162/130 7 Inches Lost So Far!! |
Hysterical! The things we'll do for trinkets! :D Maybe I'll ask the hubby to set aside some silly toys for me -- I can imagine I'd squeeze in an extra workout for a Hello Kitty pencil case! http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//lol.gif I'm glad you got some rest -- I'm always amazed by how important sleep turns out to be in fighting off illness. It's like our bodies just need a little downtime when we're not bother it with our silly demands so that they can get down to business + start healing themselves. I DID exercise last night like I promised! I wanted to do it even LESS than usual -- but the self-guilt thing really does work, and I got up off my a** and worked out. Working out at home, I find that that old chestnut of changing into your workout clothes and setting everything up for your workout really /does/ get me moving. Once the tape is in, I would feel SOOO silly just sitting there w/my sneakers on and my weights out once the introduction ends + the workout begins! Dinner out sounds fun! I'm a big believer in not denying yourself all pleasure simply because you're trying to lose weight. Go ahead, get something yummy! I'll bet that there are lots of delicious things to eat that aren't /too/ bad for you anyway. I just say "stay away from batter!" and remember that the portions they serve at restaurants are GIGANTIC. I often have to remind myself to stop eating -- I'm not even hungry anymore, but it's in front of me + tastes good, so I keep eating as long as there's food left. I can eat a whole pound of pasta at a restaurant without even realizing it! Anyway, my point wasn't to frighten you away from the yummy food ;), but to encourage you to enjoy yourself + find something both delicious /and/ moderately healthy. Have fun at dinner + let's keep moving! One more "coat of paint" as they say! ___________________ 160/160/130 |
Thanks for the encouragement! I have the same problem with portion sizes at restaurants...but I find myself more and more able to eat half and save the rest for later. I totally hate the idea of ruining the extra (like with overloads of salt) What a waste of food! (Inner miser speaking!) Hee,hee!
It's funny how willing I am to "go the distance" if there is a freebie involved! I am learning to become more frugal out of necessity. About my only splurges right now are Curves ($42/month!) and my pets (I have 12 barncats, 3 housecats, 2 dogs, 2 budgies and 2 fishtanks!) The rest I'm learning to budget on, as DH and I want (need) to build a house in a couple of years.. We live in the old farmhouse on his family's land, and our heating bills are outrageous as the house is insulation-free! Brr..... I guess that would be another good reason to plug in one of my exercise videos... to warm up!!! http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//lol.gif Well...I certainly have blabbed on and on... I should go do some real work! ------------------ 166/162/130 7 Inches Lost So Far!! [This message has been edited by MarvintheMartian (edited 02-08-2001).] |
Hi,
Do you two mind if I join in your group? A daily exercise check-in is exactly what I need. ------------------ Mony 179/165/135 valentines day goal - 164 Progress not Perfection |
Welcome, Mini Mony, The more the merrier!
Red Lobster last night was AWESOME! I actually didn't do too bad eating, had a chicken and pasta dish with iced tea, so that was good. But then we had dessert! I won't tempt you with the details but... oh, heaven! ;) Thankfully, I don't have stuff like that very often, so I'm not going to worry about splurging! I'll just work extra hard at Curves today! The worst part is that we were out a little later than usual (ok a lot later!) so I'm really tired today.... See ya later! ------------------ 166/162/130 7 Inches Lost So Far!! |
Morning copperblu and Marvin!
Well, like copper I don't work out at the gym. I've been doing The Firm Basics tapes mixed with other cardio and strength training to keep things interesting. I also have a Total Gym which I haven't used in quite a while. I hate to think I wasted my money on another exercise gizmo so I'm determined to start using that Total Gym at least twice a week. To be honest my weakness is the cardio. I hate to sweat. So keep after me to get my cardio times up, guys! But I love the strength training. I love that feeling that your muscles get after consistently working them for a while. Feels like they are "humming". I like to think that feeling is muscles growning and eating fat. http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//lol.gif My rotation for the rest of the week looks like:
Basically I've finally realized that exercise is the key to my weightloss. It seems to regulate my appetite and my moods. And if either of those gets out of whack I'm a goner. I'll report in each morning to keep myself accountable and find out how you both are doing! We can do this! ------------------ Mony 179/165/135 valentines day goal - 164 Progress not Perfection [This message has been edited by Mini Mony (edited 02-09-2001).] |
Yesterday was a tough day. It's funny how you can slip into a zone were everything seems to be working and then the next day everything is a struggle.
Anyway, I skipped my Firm tape in the morning and just did Abs and Yoga in the afternoon. I felt like a rest might get me back on track...but maybe that was just a copout. ------------------ Mony 179/165/135 valentines day goal - 164 Progress not Perfection |
Well, another Monday... didn't do too badly on the weekend eating, but didn't get any real exercise done. Oh well, all I can do now is either feel guilty or start over again today. I suppose I did get a little in yesterday cleaning up the house and doing laundry, but nothing that would cause a sweat!
I totally agree about one day being a breeze and the next is torture! That's one reason why I can't just do videos/workouts at hoe, Mony. I just won't do them for any length of time. Curves is great for me, as I feel an obligation to go because I have to pay for it, and I go with coworkers that I don't want to "let down". This way works best for me. But don't spend too much time feeling guilty about skipping -- you did do something, and that's a great success on it's own! Talk to you later! ------------------ 166/162/130 7 Inches Lost So Far!! |
Hi MinyMony! Welcome! I laughed when I read your post -- like you, I hate to get hot + sweaty! That's part of why I gravitated towards the Firm -- because I'd liked weight-work in the past. No jumping around! ;) The Basics are less "sweaty", so I'm using them to acclimate myself. I know what you mean about exercise really regulating your appetite + moods. I exercise at night, and it really stops my just-got-home hunger pangs in their tracks until about 8pm. I also feel that it's much more positive than simply dieting -- you're doing something for your body, rather than simply denying yourself. I always feel so great when I'm done, and so proud of myself! Hey MarvinTM! Great job on the healthy eating! I'm with you -- I think it's ridiculous to ruin good food (basically for vanity's sake) when there are millions of people starving in this world. Doggie bag it all the way! And like you said, it does get a lot easier to stop eating on your own, without having to forcibly ruin the meal so you can't eat it. And it should get easier! We control food, it doesn't control us! I just remind myself that it's not the last time on this Earth I'm going to get to eat out -- it's not my one chance to eat something yummy in my entire life, so I don't need to stuff every last bite in for fear of missing something. I exercised on Thursday, but, as I suspected, Friday is going to be no good for exercise. And we ate what had to be a half TON of takeout Chinese! Buuut...I lost 2 lbs! It was still gone on Sunday, so I ruled it a "non-fluke" loss. :) Yay! Unfortunately, when I try to think encouragingly, i.e., "soon you'll be at 150", I remember that 150 was when I had gained back 10 lbs of the 20 I'd lost and was feeling fat! Argh! Still, it's better than where I am, and that much closer to my goal. I just have to remember that, and not think I'll still be disappointed even when I lose 10 lbs. My pants will fit comfortably again! That's enough of a bonus to look forward to. -copperblu 160/158/130 |
I forgot! My rotation this week: M: FIRM Basics: Fat-burning (FB) T: FIRM Basics: Sculpting w/Weights (SWW) W: FIRM Basics: Fat-burning (might have unplanned rest day ;)) Th: FIRM Basics: Sculpting w/Weights F: Planned rest If I don't get to work out on Wednesday, I'll just do 2 FB + 1 SWW this week rather than 2 of both. I think I'm realizing that my original goal of 5 "official" workouts was definitely too ambitious for my schedule. ;) Good luck to us all this week! -copperblu P.S. On healthy eating front: Had my Kashi GoLean for the first time today -- yummy! Can't argue w/ 10g fiber, 8 g protein, /and/ tasty! Also, I've started cooking again, which always helps both DH + I lose weight, because otherwise we're eating takeout. ANY food I made would likely be better, and I always make low-cal, low-fat food at home. Most of my recipes are coming from The Golden Door cookbook -- all under 400 cal per serving w/neglible fat. I definitely recommend this book -- and especially if your significant other is a more adventurous eater than mine. ;) |
Morning!
Heres my rotation for the rest of the week TUES - step workout; abs; lower body toning WED - Firm Basics: Sculpting w/ Weights; abs; stretching THUR - Tae bo/Crunch workout; abs; upper body toning FRI - Firm Basics: Abs, Hips, Thighs; abs; P.M. Yoga SAT - walk; abs; arms & shoulders heavy weights SUN - REST Yesterday, I had a good day. I tried a new Firm tape and was happily surprised that I could do it. copperblu those KashiGoLean bars sound great. I could really use an extra 10gms of fiber in my diet. Where do you find those....health food or grocery store? Marvin Maybe that's my problem with going t the gym. We hava family memebership at the Y and I guess if it was just my membership I would feel obligated to go or cancel the membership. But since so many people are on our plan I feel like my little share of the price is negligible. But I did register for a weekly water aerobics class at the Y. More to get my mother to exercise, really. But I hope that once I get there I'll be able to get a swim a few laps in as well. Swimming....cardio without the sweat. :D ------------------ Mony 179/165/135 valentines day goal - 164 Progress not Perfection |
Hey Copperblu! Congratulations on the 2 lbs! That's awesome! Just think... you're no longer carrying around two sticks of butter! (That image always makes me giggle -- imagine two lumps of butter (with foil!)stuck to your hips/butt/whatever!) http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//lol.gif
You know, the best feeling is, that I'm noticing that I am eating less portion wise. It just seems that less food fills me up now! It's not a huge difference, but it's enough to notice, and I feel GREAT about it! Good for you, MiniMony, on getting your mom out to the gym. That's how my mom and I started. We both work for the Town and get our swimming privileges free, so we started going lane swimming in the mornings before work. But, it was too easy for me to cop out and sleep in rather than get moving. I am NOT a morning person, at all! That's why I LOVE Curves so much! I have been thinking lately about starting to swim again though. I really like to swim and it's a great non-sweaty workout -- I just have to get myself motivated into going again. Hmmm, maybe once it warms up a little - I hate -20 C weather!! Copperblu - like MiniMony, I am interested in the Kashi stuff too. Like how much $ and what kind of stuff you can get. Is it just bars and shakes? I am using SlimFast for breakfast right now, but variety is good, and I can never seem to get enough fiber in my day. Do either of you use a program to keep track of calories, etc..? I use Dietwatch (www.dietwatch.com) and I find that it helps me stay in control. Anyway, I must be talkative today! Have a great day! ------------------ 166/162/130 7 Inches Lost So Far!! |
Hi guys! This will be the all-Kashi post -- other news to follow. ;) It can be really hard trying to fit enough fiber into your diet -- ESPECIALLY if you're trying to meet both fiber AND protein requirements! I've had a hard time getting enough protein in my high-fiber diet attempt, which is why I was interested in the new Kashi. The Kashi GoLean is a /cereal/ actually, not a bar, BUT they do make bars! I found the cereal in my local grocery store, but I don't know if it would be everywhere -- I'd try a natural foods store, since Kashi has been making "hippie" cereal of various kinds for years. It cost about $4 for a box, and each box has 10 servings in it. Of course, those are NYC prices. ;) Regarding the other GoLean options, Kashi makes shake mixes + protein/fiber bars, both of which are reputed to be very tasty. Those are also very high in protein and fiber, like the cereal. If you have all 3 during the day, you actually end up meeting both fiber + protein needs through the Kashi stuff alone, which boggles my fragile little mind. You can actually order all three things off the www.Kashi.com website. They sell week-long trial packs of 1 box of cereal, 7 shake packs, and 7 bars for $25 or so. They were recently running a special, where you got $10 off when you ordered 2 packs, so it might be worth looking into. I think shipping is also free right now. I ordered a trial pack, but it hasn't arrived yet. I'll probably get it in time for next week though, so I can let you know! Thus far I really like the Kashi GoLean cereal -- it's really light + crunchy + puffed. It's not very sweet, but it has a hint of sweetness + doesn't taste like tree bark like Shredded Wheat. I've also tried it dry as a snack, and it seems to taste sweeter when dry. |
And now the non-Kashi post! MarvinTM: 2 sticks of butter! http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//lol.gif That's great! I'm going to remember that one! I check in sporadically at Dietwatch, but I've never really made use of its diet capabilities. It seemed really complicated to me! :( I do keep informal track of how many calories I'm taking in, and I make a note of how much fiber + protein I've gotten during the day on my own. I'm not as strict about recording exact calories though, because I know nothing /really/ has EXACTLY 443 calories. ;) I just try to get a general idea of how much and keep it in the 1400-1600 range. I pretty much throw it all out the door on the weekend though -- I try to eat as healthily as possible + pick the least of the evils, but there's generally no way for me to know exactly what I'm taking in. MinyMony: I've found that days off seem good at the time, but ALWAYS make me slack off even MORE! I have a hard enough time coming back from my planned rest of the weekends! Unless I'm sick or really really sore, I try not to take random rest days, because they throw me off my game, so to speak. *Foodwise: Went out for a business lunch yesterday, and while it was delicious, it unfortunately blew my diet plans. Grr. *In exercise news, Monday's assignment was completed! Another check mark! *In bad news: I was early enough this morning that I /could/ have gotten off at an earlier subway stop + walked the extra 10 blocks (which I do sometimes for extra exercise)m but I was so tired that I wimped out. Blah. |
I'm such a chatterbox! Where are you guys? Wednesday check-in: did Firm Basics: Sculpting w/Weights last night! I'm especially proud of that, because I was exhausted (DH's job has been keeping us both up way too late) AND I had to cook dinner. I spent about 2 hours cooking, and DH wasn't home yet, so I decided 'what the ****?' and got out my weights! Yay! I love that exercising diminishes my appetite so much -- I'm easily satisfied with a small dinner. If I could only exercise in the middle of the day too! ;) How's everyone doing? -copperblu 160/158/130 |
Hi all!
I am sooooo exhausted today! Tuesday night is our bowling league night, so we're out a lot later than usual, and as a result, I am usually really tired on Wednesdays. The good thing is that bowling does count as exercise, not like aerobics or anything, but much better than sitting on the couch watching TV! Had another excellent eating day yesterday -- well within my alloted calories and fat, still a little low on fiber, but a bit better than usual. Had an exceptionally great workout at Curves yesterday too. :D They put up a board showing how much some of the members have lost, and that encouraged me a lot, because I want MY name up there!!!! And it will be eventually! Anyway, I got really pumped up and it felt great! MiniMony - 2 HOURS COOKING! I'm lucky if I can make 30 minutes on workdays! Congrats on getting out the weights instead of just "relaxing". That's wonderful! We went to Subway for dinner last night before bowling (Tuesday tradition) and I found myself ordering a 12 inch sub instead of the 6 inch I have found myself getting full on the past few weeks. It must have been an aotumatic response to say 12 inch, when I only wanted half of that! Anyway, I only ate the one half, and saved the second for lunch today! Yum! Well, I'm getting antsy to weigh in again, but it's that TOM and I KNOW that I'm retaining water like crazy! So, I'm trying to put it off until next week.... otherwise I'll get discouraged when the scale doesn't show what I want to see. Oh well.... Talk to ya later! ------------------ 166/162/130 7 Inches Lost So Far!! |
Hi guys,
Hey, Copperblu deserves the congrats for that marathon cooking session. I haven't cooked in days. I really need to plan a healthy meal tonight. I'm still on the lookout for that Kashi cereal. My diet focus this month is to up my fiber intake. Unfortunately the only Kashi I've seen at my local grocery store is the honey puffed kind. That's only 2gm of fiber. So I'll keep searching. BTW - thanks for the link. I'm so excited that I made my Valentines Day goal. That's the first mini-goal I have ever made. I though I would never make it when TOM reared his ugly head. I went up to 167.5 last week but this morning I just seemed to float back down to 164. Exercise check in - 2/13 A.M. 32 min step workout P.M. 6 min abs; 10 min or so of Rachel McLish lowerbody. Have you guys tried the Rachel McLish In Shape exercise tape? That is a killer and I was only using 2-3lb weights. I think I need to return it to the library and try again in a few months. She is incredible. I missed my workout this morning...so I'll have marathon session this evening. ------------------ Mony 179/164/135 valentines day goal - 164....yes! st. patricks day goal - 161 Progress not Perfection |
MinyMony: Congrats on meeting your Valentine's goal!!! That's GREAT! I haven't tried the Rachel McLeish tape -- it sounds interesting! I've just gone on a marathon buying spree w/Firm tapes however (they were so cheap! i couldn't help it!), and will have to work my way through those before getting any others! I'm sorry you haven't had any luck finding the Kashi at your store -- FYI, I know that www.netgrocer.com carries Kashi GoodFriends, which has 8g fiber + 3g protein. Less protein that GoLean, but still a good source of fiber. MarvinTM: Thanks for the congrats on the cooking. ;) Usually I can't be bothered with recipes that long during the week, but since I already had lasagna made from the day before, I had some free time and was cooking for the /next/ night, so it didn't matter if it took forever. It didn't seem that complicated on paper, but when I got down to it, all the steps seemed to involve chopping various things + sauteeing in stages, + roasting items + what-have-you. For some reason it just took forever! Congrats on the great workout + the fun bowling! MUCH better than sitting in front of the TV! I love the Subway subs too -- I was so happy to discover that, after I thought I'd inadvertently eaten something /horrible/ for me, the Honey Mustard Melt wasn't that bad at all! It's no lentil soup, but it won't kill ya. ;) And hey -- I'm sure you'll see your name up on that bulletin board soon! Keep on movin'! I said I wouldn't weigh myself until the end of the week, but I couldn't resist! The 2lbs are still gone, + I'm holding on to that, because I know that often adding weight workouts results in NO loss on the scale (and depression!),while meanwhile you've dropped inches! I know how it works, but I'm still a little hung up on the scale, so I'm trying to keep myself in check. I did measure 2 weeks ago, and I'm allowing myself to measure again this week. We'll see! |
Congrats, MiniMony, on meeting your Valen-tinies goal! That's great! Did you notice that I've joined the St. Petite's Day challenge? I have to thank you for inspiring me. What a great bunch of supportive people over there!
I've never seen the Rachel McLish tapes. They sound a little intense to me! I have a few assorted tapes, mostly aerobic and step workouts, and they're all collecting dust on my shelf. I just cannot motivate myself to workout at home. Oh well, that is why I joined Curves! Copperblu, I know that I said just this morning that I wasn't going to weigh until next week (after TOM is gone) but I can't resist! I'm going to weigh myself at Curves today so I can have an accurate weight to start my St. Petite's Day challenge at. Oh well, maybe I'll have lost anyway! We'll see..... MarvinTM ------------------ 166/162/130 St. Petites Goal - 158 7 Inches Lost So Far!! |
Good morning!
We had a staff breakfast this morning (pancakes & sausage) so I'm feeling a little stuffed right now! Pancakes always make me feel a bit bloated! The sausage was really lean too, so it was a pretty good breakfast! Had a pretty good workout at Curves too yesterday. I did weigh myself and as I suspected, it was up. 163.5 instead of 162! Got a little depressed even though I know that I'm bloated from TOM. I'm not going to pay much attention to that reading though, and will weigh again next week, when I'm not TOM anymore! Oh well... How were your days? MarvinTM ------------------ 166/162/130 St. Petites Goal - 158 7 Inches Lost So Far!! |
MarvinTM: I hate that stupid scale! I can't stay away from it, even though I know it lies! Isn't it horrible how a slight increase on the scale, even one with a good explanation, makes us depressed? Even when we know we're actually doing well? Grr. :mad: I have been desperately craving pancakes for the last MONTH it seems. I don't know what is up with that! I found a good recipe for whole-wheat pancakes though, and maybe I'll make some this weekend. With lean sausage of course! Mmmm. :) As I suspected, no workout last night. Not because I was out gallivanting (sp?) for Valentine's Day...but because DH came home! After several days of getting home at 2am, he made it home right when I did -- so of course we lazed about on the couch + cuddled instead of working out! That's ok -- I'll definitely take DH being home over being home along all the time w/all the workout time I want. Good news is he brought home a sixpack of beer + I really wanted pizza...but I didn't have any cider with him (I like hard cider instead of beer), and I got up + finished making the super low-cal, low-fat enchiladas I'd started the night before. And had those instead! Only 400 cal + full of veggies! Now I just have to motivate to work out when I get home tonight! I'm feeling so tired + floppy ... I'd better start chanting my little "you will work out!" mantra to myself right now! |
Afternoon ladies!
Well I've been slacking the last two days. I've been really good almost consistently for 7 weeks in order to reach my mini-goal. Last night I ate a little steak and a lot of shrimp scampi with glee. Tonight I'll get my sub fix in. And then tomorrow I'll have to be strong and steadfast...ready to start fresh with clean eating and exercise. The scale is my nemesis - I really try to stay off it and weigh once a week. But I never seem to manage that somehow. Plus I just recently found out my old home scale was 10 lbs too light. Now that was depressing! :mad: I found my Kashi - so I'm all ready for kicking off my next mini-goal tomorrow. A month to lose at least 3lbs and get in 25 gms of fiber per day. Wish me luck! Copperblu - if you are interested in mini-goals please check us out at St. Petites Day over on the Support Forum. Marvin and I have both made pledges for this month. ------------------ Mony 179/164/135 valentines day goal - 164....yes! st. patricks day goal - 161 Progress not Perfection |
