Ouch
 

I overdid weights this morning and had a backache all afternoon. I took some acetaminophen, but I feel like a little old lady right now. I'm getting the cold pack out right after I finish writing this. I think I've done OK on the day's food, but I stopped logging after lunch. Oooooooh, I won't do that again.

A little high calorie-wise yesterday. However I was taking Thermobol :rolleyes: which appears to boost the metabolism so much it made me hungry! :doh: I don't think that was the point! And I did do extreme kickboxing last night - plenty of intense kicks and stuff. So all in all not too bad!

I hope you feel better Jazzbird.

I did 10k on my elliptical trainer last night and wanted to do it again tonight but it`s already 10pm-so I might take the night off.

Ciba -- If I exercise too close to bedtime I cannot sleep and the next day I don't feel like exercising at all, so it's better to get a good night's sleep, since you already exercised anyways... just my 2 cents :D...

Yesterday I did good... DH and I ended up going for a 15k bike ride last night so I had plenty of excercise yesterday and food was spot on too :carrot:

Jazz -- take care of that back :yes:

In a little while I'm off to the gym then laundry yuck!! Food should be good I have lots in the fridge...

Later :wave:

Tuesday's goals met: 1,000 calories, upper body workout, practiced Tai Chi and went for a walk with hubby last nite.

Today: Eating going well and taking a Tai Chi class.

Good luck, all!

Thanks Chiba and Ilene for the sympathy. To address my sore back, I decided to hunt out the local swimming pool and swim for exercise today. I haven't done that since, oh, about the early cretaceous. It follows that I'm a really rotten swimmer, but I have to say it was a lot of fun. I did a lot of backstroke and when my arms gave out, I just held onto the side and kicked. My back feels a whole lot better. I just may get myself one of those kickboards and do this every week.

Food has been OK so far. I had Mexican for lunch, but I tried not to overdo it. Dinner will be a salad.

Cheers!

Food, when I was home was good, but I went and had coffee with a gf who is a chocoholic and she pass the chocolate and I didn't say no... on the up side my calories are still good today... Did chest and 20 mins cardio, I was really lazy today...

Ick ick ick! Yesterday's bike ride left me feeling "entitled" to eat a Mars Bar, Pizza and a (veggie) sausage sandwich :rolleyes: oh yeah and I forgot the chocolate biscuits! :frypan:

Today I'm going to do better. I can't do much worse. :frypan:

I didn`t wind up exercising last night. I usually exercise before bed-it doesn`t bother my sleep pattern-sometimes it`s the only time of the day that I have time.
I`m home alone now-so I`m heading for the elliptical trainer...

2f -- :coach: WE KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!

I'm getting dressed as soon as I finish posting this and heading off to the gym before my laziness takes hold of me... The plan for the gym today is back and a run... It's pouring here so I may not go for my run tonight, but I do hope it stops raining...

Thanks - I KNOW I can do it too! Can someone please inform my bathroom scales that I can do it too??? :lol:

Today I'm doing ok - I have LOTS of veggie bits in the fridge for a quick stir-fry when I get home. I just have to defrost the chicken and I'm all set! Not been too bad - been craving carbs LOTS, but (I finally figured this out!) I now know that once I give in to a "treat" then I want MORE treats! I could've quite easily burried my face in a box of chocolates this afternoon, when yesterday I was thinking that I could take it or leave it! :crazy: Someday I'll be sorted!

Back workout and HIIT cardio -- DONE!!
It's a nice light warm rain so I will go running this afternoon...

Wednesday's goals met: Eating in control plus one hour of Tai Chi practice and one hour Tai Chi class.

Today so far: Eating in control and now off to the gym

One more day until Friday. I can't believe it. I've been good for a whole week. I got out of sync there for a while, but I'm back. Yay. :carrot: I really think this weekly challenge has helped tremendously. :)

Did yoga, abs, and leg PT this morning. Divided a cafeteria take out meal with a friend at lunch, so we each got 1/2. We like doing it this way because it keeps portions in control.

You gals are awesome! 2f- you didn't do anything I haven't done a million times with the entitlement thing. Sounds like you recovered nicely.
Chiba, Ilene, Dena good for you on the exercise. I feel like I'm losing weight just reading it.

I had a great run with my running buddies tonight, I came, this close to not going because I was so lazy and had gas :lol: I hate running with a group with gas... But I went anyways and it was awesome, there was a mist all the time we ran and it was nice and coolish and not warm at all... This girl I was running with didn't feel like running either when we started and we ended up being the first 2 in :carrot:
