Hi ladies. Hope you all had a great day; I'm finding it hard to keep posting ever since they gave me so many more responsibilities at work. Not more MONEY, of course, just more work.

Anyway, Sunday ended up being an ALL DAY hangover, which I have never had before, and the more my boyfriend and I started talking about the night we were out, the more we realized we remembered VERY little from that night, we're both missing time. It's kind of scary, that shouldn't happen from 3 drinks? I will drink a glass of wine, a cocktail and a beer on a weeknight and I would be fine to hop out of bed at 7am and work the next morning... it's just really weird. I don't know.

Been doing well on the diet front, got lots of whole foods this weekend, been making healthy meals. I've been making a point to get more fat in my diet; olive oil, avocado, nut butters, etc.

Had ezekiel bread for the first time this morning as breakfast toast with low sugar apricot spread and almond butter. I really liked it!

----

Bayzee: Vitamin Water DEFINITELY helped. You know, both times I went to that restaurant I had their mussels in wine sauce, so maybe that's what is doing it? I don't know, I'm so spooked about it now. I bought all the stuff to make your smoothie, and wouldn't you know, I went to make one this morning and my ancient blender had finally kicked the bucket! Had to make toast instead. Getting a new bullet blender tomorrow. Hope you're back down soon, and good luck making good choices during your holiday weekend! Just keep the end goal in mind and ask if whatever you're about to consume is REALLY worth it. You've got this.

TurboMammoth: Uggghh, I know that feeling, trying on everything in the store an nothing looking quite right. The suit IS a good idea though, it will be an investment! Hope the interview went well, can't wait to hear!

Aidanqm: Nice work getting your food for the week prepped; it's great to have a plan in place. Nice weigh in too, good luck maintaining under 110 this week!

olehcat: Sending you good vibes for your rough week! Glad you've got a plan for you food; you know what they say, failing to plan is planning to fail. Maybe get the kitties some treats or mice toys so they aren't too sad?

Alexistrophic: Oh, I love boggle, haha. I think there is a video game on this earth for everyone! I like involved story lines, it's almost like ready a book, except you're participating. Yaaay, love SS vs SS, glad there is a new season! I get into comfort eating too, it's hard not to when it's cold outside. I get strong bread cravings. Glad you're feeling less jiggly!

JossFit: I ate during, and even carby stuff like pizza and mussels with bread. idk what happened, bizarre. UGH, hate Mondays, so sorry to hear you were up; but you know you're knocking it out and will be back down soon. I have never had the Justin's nut butters or whatever, but those individual packets are what I need! Wish I hadn't just bought a big @ss jar of almond butter at trader joe's.

LeilaJey: HI! Welcome back! So sorry to hear you've been having a hard time, I'm glad you're here again and putting your health first! Those holiday/stress pounds will be gone before you know it.

[olehcat]

Hi, all!

I don't know what it is, but I feel very good physically from my working out/running, and I don't want to weigh myself to ruin it. I will in a few days because I won't be able to stand it, but right now I just have the feeling I would not be happy with the number. I just have the feeling that nothing has changed in the last 2 weeks, despite more working out because my diet hasn't been restricted enough on the weekends. Now yesterday I did well, but I almost always do on Mondays. I had an egg and a few egg whites for breakfast with a 1/4 cup of cheese, had a huge kale salad with 1/4 of an avocado and non-fat Greek yogurt/vinegar as dressing for lunch. Mondays and Tuesdays are my class days so I'm not home all day and most of the evening and so my eating schedule is OFF, I'm tired and stressed, and it's a perfect storm for the temptation to overeat or go off plan. I did pretty well, though, considering how much I want to reward myself for just surviving Mondays and Tuesdays!

I went running in the evening when I got back, just a quick 2 mile run, but it was enough to get my blood moving and me sweating and worked out. Then had some roasted veggies dipped in Frank's hot sauce and a glass of wine while watching the episode of The Walking Dead that I had saved!

I just hope that at least if the numbers don't go down that I'll LOOK like the numbers go down just from looking like I'm working out soon! I mean, running usually tightens up my butt and makes my legs look more toned, and then I've been doing some strength training twice a week for my shoulders, chest, triceps, back. And then I've been using the chin up assist machine, which feels like it works everything.

But I still feel big and self-conscious about being so big. I hate feeling uncomfortable in my own body. I hope I can remember that with every choice I make, that I don't want to live in this body the way it is right now. I want it to change back to where it used to be.

@Alex - there is a certain pride to just being able to DO the weights, however modest. Especially the chin up assist machine because I find that the absolute hardest and I've always been intimidated by that machine, like everyone will watch me and know how pathetically weak I am, lol! I definitely can fall into winter hibernate mode. If there's a snowstorm, I want to bake cookies and eat them all! Or make gooey comfort food. And what are body minder journals?

@jossfit - the cartoon --? SO TRUE. Guh, I hate Mondays. And Tuesdays for that matter. At least once I get to Wednesday, my classes are over for the week! Yeah, as for the planning, I feel forced to do it on Mondays and Tuesdays just because I'm not home for about 12 hours that whole day, and if I don't plan, it can be a disaster.

@bayzee - good luck with the family gathering! I know that's an almost impossible situation for me, a complete trigger for my overeating. I have not learned how to navigate gatherings like that yet!

@Leilajey - sounds like your life really did go crazy for awhile. I'm not surprised at the stress eating. That's how I got myself into the 140s and have not been able to get back to the 130s in over a year. (that's mostly my fault though)

@Dorian - oh man, those all day hangovers = no fun! I had one once when I was in a hotel with a friend and we had to check out by a certain time and that was SO MISERABLE. So weird that just that amount of drinks would do that. Maybe the drinks were made extra strong. I know once I had a martini that mysteriously made me really out of it and sick all evening. It was embarrassing because I was at my sister's house (so luckily didn't have to drive anywhere or go anywhere later), and I had to spend the whole evening curled on a couch with the room spinning and my two-year-old niece kept wanting me to play with her and I felt like such a bad auntie. But it had only been one drink! Have no idea what happened. Sometimes that just happens or maybe our body has a weird reaction to alcohol at that time.

[Alexistrophic]

bayzee ~ Hurray for being on program! If you're hungry, can you just increase your portions? Do you feel like you're cals are at a decent level for the most part?

leilajay ~ Welcome back, girl! In the midst of the S*&$#storm, there's always a little oasis of calm. What is the new job?

Dorian ~ Those mussels sound suspicious to me. Hungover + food poisoning smells like a lethal combination. And welcome to the world of Ezekiel bread. I usually keep a loaf or so in the freezer.

Olehcat ~ It's love/hate with the scale sometimes. It sounds like you're doing all the right things: eating well and exercising, so try not to let the number on the scale change your mindset. Easier said than done, I know... And I think these are the bodyminder journals Joss had mentioned.


~~~
Slowly but surely.

For all that I can't stand the return to the work week, my eating does tend to be neater on Mondays.

I practiced an hour and a half last night and for me, that's almost as good as cardio in my world. Ha. That should be my tee-shirt - Viola is my Cardio. Because if I'm practicing, I'm not eating and this is a good thing. I'm at 6/7 hours practiced which is an hour short of my original goal, but really, 5 hours more than I practiced last week, so at least we're moving in the right direction.

Have to be measured for a tux (second job ) and am kind of dreading it. I'm up a good ten pounds from my (current) ideal resting weight and the idea of having someone around me with a tape measure is just not appealing at all. Then again, I figure it might be an interesting before and after shot.

[TurboMammoth]

Aidanqm : a rave on valentine's day? Awesome!!! And awesome WI, congrats!

olehcat : Oh god, running at night in the winter is sooo hard. What meals did you planned out for this week?

Alexis : Did you get a lot of snow down there? And I do agree with you : comfort food is such a trap, and a hard one to escape.. especiallyyyy when it is snowing!

And yes, after I forget how much it cost, I really do love the suit. The pants are a bit high waist and it makes my legs looks mileees long, the shirt has 3/4 sleeves and I could wear it by itself and the vest it grey with a pink interior, so when I roll up the sleeves it shoves. it gonna look good with jeans

Joss : Yay for the canceled PT! After your workout, I guess it was feeling blaaaah about another one!!

Bayzee : I love your attitude of not over analyzing a little gain! As you said, it's monday, you're sore, it can be so many little things! Hope it will get down in the next days

LEILAJEY : it been so lonnnng! wow, that is some crazy **** storm stuff you've been through! Hope you are okay. Anyways, glad to see you back around here

Dorian : Omg, forgetting parts of the evening with so little to drink IS scary. Do you know if it happened to any other people you were with?

Hi ladies!

On the weight, I was down to 140.4 this morning and I was like : wait really? I stepped back on the scale and it shower 139.8. TWICE. I'm pretty sure it is a fluke because I was so nervous yesterday, I drink coffee, pee-ed ton and did not drink much.

On the interview matter : it went ... okay. I think. I'm confused. I was there for more than 75 minutes, so it's not like it really did not click and he would have sent me on my way right away. The lab is awesome, well fonded and tons of up to date equipment.

I don't think I will get the position though, there was one thing that seem be problematics for him. He mentioned that he was looking for someone who would be interested in the position for at least a few years : a lab like that needs stability to be fully efficient. I totally agree with him and I told him that, living in another city, if I do move to Montreal to take the position, i would do it for real to make the move completely worths it. The discussion leading to another thing, it was mentioned that my boyfriend is currently doing a pHd in the town I would be leaving. He started saying that long distance relationship has it limits and stuff like that, I think he is afraid that I would go back to Sherbrooke as soon as I find out that there is a position there.

I tried to make him understand that it wasn't my plan : Sherbrooke has nice research facilities, but it is really saturated, to many people for the quantity of job. Plus, I'm young, and I neeed to start concentrating on my career at some point and not letting the town I'm in decided wether I can work or not... but I don't think I convinced him much. Which sucks. I was really depressed when I got home last night.

Anyways he says that there is about 3 other candidates he needs to meet and that I should have news in a week or 2. My opinion is that if he founds someone who is already in Montreal and stable there, he might go for someone like that before me.

[Alexistrophic]

Awww, Turbo geography fail. Bummer that you just don't live in the right space... Here's hoping that you become his first choice, though. If it was offered, do you think you would move for it?

Yes I would definitely move. The place I live in has almost nothing to offer right now, it was clear that I would have to move at some point and it was already all cleared out with the boyfriend...

The worst is that I was really excited about moving in Montreal

[krampus]

Hi Feathers,

I'm back from vacation. Thanks to your well wishes, we had a perfect smooth flight that left on time (the 6 AM was a good choice) and vacation was THE BEST - I had key lime pie every day, we went snorkeling (no one got seasick - though I almost drowned because my mask wasn't working and I panicked and needed to use a swim noodle), spent hours upon hours lying around on beaches, rented a moped, did some sightseeing, drank delicious rum drinks, went for a (not very good) jog alongside the beach, and ate tons of awesome fish and seafood. The flight coming home was delayed and there were all these horrible drunk people yelling while everyone else was annoyed and trying to sleep. When we landed in LaGuardia an air marshal escorted one of them off the plane...haha suckerrrr! Poor BF had to drive 3 hours back and we got home at 5 AM, where he found his toilet was clogged. Then this morning my car got towed and I got a ticket and that was a pain, went home and stress-cleaned because my landlord is showing up today to check the roof and the apartment was a mess, I got to work and there was no coffee anywhere in the building so I had to make a coffee run. FINALLY feeling human here!

I am too tired to do personals but I read everyone's updates and it seems most of you are doing well. Really happy to see the return of LeilaJey; I wish you all the best in dealing with the sh!t life has dealt you.

[JossFit]

So blaaaaaahhh today. Blah. Starting to have annoying food cravings and I'm NOT going to deviate from my program, but obviously it's easier not to think about things I can't eat right now.

Short personals today... sorry!

Krampus - All that fun and you're DOWN from where you were (scale) before you left?! Success!

Turbo - Keep your chin up... you might have nailed it and may get the call that they want you!

Alex - Don't stress having someone measure you... they do it for a living and probably don't think anything of it. You live in your body so you know what you're working with and the person fitting you doesn't care!

What is the tux for though??

Olehcat - I know what you mean about feeling self-conscious right now and not comfortable in your body at the moment. All you can do is keep on keeping on, and working on those runs and keeping your calories in check. If the idea of getting on the scale stresses you out just don't do it for a few more days! Knowing or not knowing what your scale says has no bearing on your progress.

Dorian - Yep, big fan of Ezekiel bread. I was daydreaming a bit about the cinnamon raisin kind I have in my freezer earlier!

Leila - So glad you came back! I'm sorry life hit you in the @ss, but you don't appear to worse for wear, so you'll be just fine I'm sure! Not much new around here... bunch of Feathers talking about being bloated and wishing for better poops.

[Aidanqm]

Ya'll post so much! It's difficult to keep up, lol. Short update. Weighed in at 109 yesterday. Kinda low so I assume it'll go back up today. Did a full body lift yesterday and felt really tired. Also did 30 minutes on the curve running machine with my friend. Planning to make today a rest day and eat at a slightly higher calorie count today.

[olehcat]

Doing pretty well with the running! I'm a little sore today because I ran last night after my class and it was just about at the freezing mark, so I think I forced myself to go faster than I normally would to keep warm, lol. I stopped and walked for 1 minute a few different times throughout, which just broke things up nicely for me. Anyway, I did 3 miles last night! My body feels all taut (but sore and my knees feel like I'm about 80 years old)

Anyway, I weighed in this morning at 144.6, so it's about what I suspected. Lower than last week at this time, but only slightly. I can't seem to break the 144 mark, and I would be able to Friday of this week, I think, except that I'm invited out this evening and there will be pizza and brownies. I don't even have strength or willpower right now (so exhausted and stressed) to turn it down because these friends are excellent bakers (the pizza will be homemade and amazing). And then Thursday is a 13-hour day at work, non-stop, with food being provided for us from parents (it's parent-teacher conferences) because there's no time to go out and get something. I could bring my own food, but I don't have access to a microwave and eh, I don't know, I've been eating salads all week! So I just don't know how it's going to go the rest of this week with me being so tired and burned out and not on my usual eating schedule. I'll just try my best to not overeat. At least I don't have time to drink wine the rest of the week!

aidanqm - I need to go back and look because I'm pretty sure you posted some of the things you eat when you're in weight loss mode and I've forgotten just where, but you're doing amazing!

@jossfit - yep, got on the scale this morning! Not too bad, considering my muscles are sore! So maybe my "real" weight is lower! That would be cool! . Oh, food cravings are the worst!

@krampus - oh man, that flight delay with the drunken passengers sounds awful, haha. But I'm glad you had a great vacation! That sounds like something I need RIGHT NOW. If I had someone to go with, I'd be on a flight in March to anywhere with a beach! Sorry you came back to all those annoyances!

@Turbo - I must have missed where you were going to an interview! I am sorry it seems that the geography of it wasn't going to work out! Well, the meals are just gathering various veggies together. Like for lunch, I just bring a big salad, some yogurt, some sort of protein (either a hard-boiled egg or some chicken). Today I made some homemade veggie dip out of Greek yogurt and am bringing raw veggies to dip for lunch. For dinner at home I've been eating roasted veggies or lentil soup. Last night I was too tired to do ANYTHING, alas, and I had a handful of tortilla chips with salsa. oops. Not very filling or nutritious!

@alex - yep, my eating is always way more disciplined during the week. There's something about the weekend where I just rebel against any rules, anything. I need to find a way to work with that. Like how can have HEALTHY weekend food around, for example? Maybe something I just save for the weekend as a treat but is still healthy. Or something! Good for you on the practicing!

[JossFit]

Meh, I feel whiny and impatient again... not really seeing much progress. Hopefully when I speak with my coach tomorrow he'll change my program again. I know he's going to take my sweet potato and make me do more cardio but I don't care... I need to see some forward progress here! I've only lost a few pounds and if things don't continue at a steady pace -- which gets harder and harder as you go anyway -- I'm not going to hit my goal look.

And it's Wednesday, and it's raining, and I SHOULD have been on my way to Colorado to see my husband right now but his damn unit messed it up for us.

I need a hug.

Olehcat - You may be right; I have been 100% on plan (seriously, not even a single blueberry has passed these lips) and my weight was up a tad today, probably from muscle soreness. It's hard not to let it discourage you when it's up but sometimes some perspective is helpful. (UM, NOTE TO SELF! LOL)

Oooh, that is TOUGH going into the weekend knowing that you don't feel like sticking to your plan because of how you've been feeling lately. Just try to watch your diet aside from these events and make sure you keep getting those runs in! You can do it.

Aidanqm - That curve machine is a b*tch isn't it?! Much more difficult than it would appear... deceptive little machine!


Aaaand Happy Hump Day to the rest of you ladies; Dorian, Turbo, Krampus, Leila, Alex, Bayzee, and LockItUp... because I know you're reading! Kakers, Pixelllate, Sontaikle, Domlacha and the rest of you not-so-regular regulars, I hope you're all doing well!

[TurboMammoth]

krampus : Glad you had such a nice time in Florida! I saw your WI in the daily WI thread... HOLY CRAP no serious gain after being away on vacation, that is a major win!

Joss : Aww girl! Big hug your way! I guess the rain isn't helping on the modd neither Concerning your prorgess to your goal body, are you seeing more change concerning the muscles definition?

Aidanqm : You seem to have everything under control You go girl!

olehcat : Nice run! You seem to have a busy week... but omg pizza and brownies YUMM ahahah! I think I would go crazy

Hello ladies! Still 139.8 this morning which I am really surprised of. TOM hit yesterday, I seemed to drink tons through the day and not going much to pee, my stomach is suuuuper boaty... How the **** I'm not up today!? (well it's not like I'm going to complain, but..!)

I had a good workout yesterday but it was so haaaard. I was on the threadmill when the TOM cramps and nauseous feeling hit me. I barely finished my 2.8 miles and made my way to my locker to have a pill of something to help the cramp. I think I sat 15 minutes on the bench just miserable, wanting to go home. But than I said ''okay, just go do your squats and if you're not still feeling better, you 'll go home'' and with saying something like that after each exercice, I managed to complete pretty much all my muscle workout and my 30' of cycling. I was glad when I got back home that I went through it.

I'm still having a bit of light cramps todau which is unusual, usually it is just the first day but anyways, I had a really feverish night where I woke up completely soaked with sweat around 3AM.

Today is our 4th anniversary with my boyrfriend and I don't knoooow if he remembers but I planned a nice surprise dinner at home for us tonight I only hope the cramps will calm down so I'm able to get things going around the house!

[krampus]

Hellooooooo Feathers,

I feel human again today, went to the gym in the AM before work and even showered after. Good weigh-in, 124.0 - weights were hard and treadmill intervals were a little hard too - none of this "few days off = extra energy" business for me. Maybe it was the pasta dinner I had?

The f&@king guy from Superbowl Sunday's SUPER SMASH car accident filed a claim and my insurance agent got my email address wrong, yawn, so I can't even send him the PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE which is hilariously negligible.

Dinner with my parents tonight, then seeing a bunch of my alcoholic friends. Will try not to drink to excess. Valentine's Day tomorrow, BF and I are going out to dinner here and I think I want fish or maybe a big salad. We changed our dinner reservation from a more interesting/expensive place because vacation broke us.

TurboMammoth Awwwww you are such a good girlfriend! I wonder if he also planned a surprise dinner and you will have to eat 2 dinners. :P Great news your weight is down after the nacho/potluck incident; sucks that TOM is impacting your sleep and workouts - I hope the worst symptoms are behind you.

JossFit Here is a BIG HUG for you.



Sorry your program has you stalling out - you'd think your trainer would be umm better at this! Is there any good news on the horizon about the next time you'll see your husband?

olehcat I'm sorry your coming week is so crazy with so many interruptions in routine. That's tough when you feel like you're on a roll and then every possible derailment throws itself at you. I kind of feel that way now too with going out to dinner today and tomorrow and a MACARONI AND CHEESE BOWL on Saturday...

Aidangm Enjoy your rest day and basking in the glory of 109! It's been a really long time since you had a binge hasn't it? That's awesome.

Alexistrophic Is your second job banquet serving? Being measured for outfits when you're above your ideal weight sucks, I was dreading that back in fall 2011 when I had my almost-there flight attendant interviews. Practice is much harder to find time for when you work - I think it's much harder to make yourself do than exercise or most other things! I have a pile of work needing to get done on my violin (rehair, reGLUE, ahhh) that is too expensive to deal with right now and I am putting it off.

Dorian5 So sorry about that epic hangover. I hope you're feeling better by now! At least you have a house full of good groceries.

LeilaJey Infinity hugs to you. Looking forward to "catching up" as it were. Where are you living now? Another city?

[JossFit]

I don't even know what to make of that picture... LOL! I need something more like;



But hey, we all hug in our own way.

RE my coach; I guess... I'm barely losing weight and today I'm just sort of pissed off about it. I'm getting a little burnt out and I feel like I've done a much better job on my own while doing workouts I enjoyed more, doing less ******* cardio and eating a much wider variety of foods. Yeah, there are pluses and working with him is keeping me accountable... but *******, I just want to SEE that I'm getting some results from this.

I guess I'm used to seeing the opposite;(and I think we all are) A person starts off eating better and working out and loses more weight at the onset, but then the amount lost slowly tapers off over time because it's supposed to be sustainable for LIFE. This program is geared toward peaking at a certain date, and it gets more intense as time progresses so that a person doesn't burn out right away. I'm just hoping that will also translate into accelerated losses as well.

I've been told that a good portion of women really start to see a dramatic change around the 7-8 week mark, and considering that today is wrapping up week 4, I still have a bit of time to go. I will be happy to be done with it and am glad I'm 1/3 done, BUT I also am a bit scared that I'm 1/3 done without much to show for it. Does that make sense?

All of the salads on that menu looked really tasty! The marabec salad looked interesting because of the grapes, which you don't see often. I would go for one of the ones with cheese and bacon thought. I'm sure you'll enjoy whatever you get, and honestly the less-fussy places are better on Valentine's Day anyway (or any big holiday). Too many places do pre-fixed menus and I HATE not having options!

I'm not sure when I'll see the hubby again, but I'm hoping for the weekend of 18 April. Ugh, SOOOO FAR AWAY still. Thats like, 9 weeks on top of the 6 it's already been since I've seen him.


Turbo - I am seeing a bit of change, but nothing crazy. I feel a bit better in my clothes but I have lost a few pounds so that's not totally surprising.

I just want to lose more fat!

What are you making your BF for your surprise dinner? Thats such a fun thing to celebrate... 4 years! Any talk of making things, um, a little more long term...?

I have had to do the same thing with my cardio the last few days; just keep saying to myself "OK self, only 5 more minutes..." and then just repeat that for as many 5 minute intervals as I need to get it all done!

I hope you're feeling better with regard to your lady issues. Hopefully it won't make you miserable and unable to enjoy your anniversary dinner!


EDIT to add: PT cancelled today (yes! I get to go home and relax instead of trudging through another workout) and I got my mom to start using My Fitness Pal to help her lose weight. She's been trying so hard to eat healthy but has no idea how many calories she needs to be eating.
Small victories for today!

[TurboMammoth]

krampus : This Garden Bistro seems nice! The GB24 salad looks good, fairly healthy but with a twist of bacon just to make it more yummy :P

And oh jeez, the super bowl crash guy is really intense! Such a big deal for such a little incident

Joss : As you said to krampus, if people see really bigger results by week 7-8, that might explain why you see so few right now. That being said, I totally understand how it can be so frustratiiiiing!! But let me just tell you that I ADMIRE YOU SO MUCH for doing this, I'd never have that much dedications.

I planned this big dinner in secret for the boy and I'm really excited (Im just kinda pissed that TOM hit yesterday.. BUMMER). We are having a goat cheese/honey tartellete in a basil infused crust and some blackberries drizzled with honey in appetizer. Than we have something really common here, usually it is made with a bottom layer of ground beed, middle layer of cream corn and top layer of mashed potato. That is a typical comfort food in Quebec and the boyfriend is a fan, we all grew up eating this Although for tonight, I switched the ground beef with duck legs and I made my own creamy corn (channeled the Martha Stewart in me here :P). For dessert I made a Banana Bread/Cake that we will be eating with a roast peanut caramel sauce I wasn't feeling too much for wine, so I picked a good blond beer to eat with the main meal and a Raspberries Beer to have with the dessert. Hope he'll like it!

For the long term thing of the couple, we dont know now Definitely not kids, since we don,t know where I'll be anytime soon with a job. Dont know about getting married, his parents got through a really hard divorce so his feeling toward weddings are meeeeeeh. But we'll see in the future. We've been living together for 3 years already and are still quite young
