I'm still here. Back is stilll sore. I might go see the chiropractor. but in the meantime I think I can do cardio starting tomorrow. Got to stick with it!

Had a really good OP day yesterday. Today was a bit high calorie-wise. I'm heading in the right direction and will continue to improve. I'm feeling good about things in general now. I have that feeling of getting back under control, but I still have some tempting foods in the house (kids' snacks) that I need to stay away from. That's probabaly been my biggest issue this month.
Pep talk to self: I can control myself. I am a mature adult with self-control. I do not have to follow every impulse or eat every food that sounds yummy. Food is fuel. Fuel your body for maximum performance. You can do this!

Audrina - That gives me some perspective. I don't ever regret working out - but not working out is a regret. Thanks for reminding me.

Fivestone and Delphi - You both make a good point. Finding a workout I like or switching it up more will help, I think. I'm doing 30DS, so it's the same workout for 10 days in a row, but after I am done, I'm going to try and diversify more.

I think I'm falling into a depression again. I really miss my family (we have been separated for the last 46 days, and my patient load at work is increasing. The types of cases that I see are very upsetting at times (newborns with high fatality) and I'm sure that doesn't help. But I know if I push through it, it will pass.

Yesterday was OP - but with a few too many calories from meat. It was cold pork roast & I gobbled it

Planning for an OP day today. My weight seems to be stalling and has increased a bit. I think increase it's from the heat & humidity. Maybe I need to drink LOTS more water.


Hope your day is a good one!

dcapulet ~ At least you can recognize the symptoms early enough to do something about it. If you need to change something, do it now. Or if you need meds, then talk to your pcp. Do you have any support? Friends or Family?

Well all is going well for me and the whole back on the wagon thing. I don't know whats got into me. I painted my nails for the first time in literally years..lol! Well you ladies have a great day.

I finally broke out of the 130's!!!!! I'm so happy I did a little "omg, the scale is being nice to me!" dance this morning! Haha. I weighed in at 129.6 pounds this morning which means 4.6 pounds till my first goal of this challenge and if I do that, 9.6 to my final!

Congrats bama girl!

Yesterday was OP. My weight was 181.4 this morning, and it's the first time I've see something under 182 midweek, so I guess it's moving in the right direction. =)

I feel like a slug today, lol. I'm struggling just to get myself on housework. I hope I get some more energy before my workout this afternoon. Though I had a pretty intense workout yesterday so I'll probably go a little lower impact today.

Oh. I also dyed my hair last night, and I'm freaking out juuust a tiny bit. I'm going back and forth between "oh, I love the color" and "aaahhhh, I ruined my hair." Now I remember why I once vowed I'd never dye my hair again unless I could have a professional do it (something I've never had done). I think I'm making that vow again.

Good job bama girl!

I stupidly got on the scale today in the middle of the week and of course was disappointed by the results. I am determined to stick with this though and weigh in as planned on Saturday. I just hope the scale budges.

Just checking in-glad to see the wagon rode by and so many of you jumped back on.

I'm mostly OP, not totally, but still managing...I'm down 2lbs this week at 233. It's slow but steady right now. I just plan on keeping up with swimming, since it doesn't hurt at all and relieves the heat problem I have with exercising. Hope everyone is doing well, TTYL!

just checking in. I'm still on plan!! thats a big thing for me, I weigh in on sunday. I'm hoping for 260 or less.

Today wasn't so great, but there's always tomorrow. I got a new iPod so I am going to start the c25k. On to tomorrow.

Delphi - my big problem right now is that i am 3000 miles away from my husband and kids. They are my life line. I talk to them as much as I can, but I miss being with them. The good news is they will be here in two weeks - so I just need to be strong and pull though.

I did 30DS L2D1 tonight. I don't feel I've worked out as hard as in the first level - so I need to up the intensity tomorrow. Also, I think I'm going to add another 30 minutes onto my workout schedule, so I can get more cardio in.

Congrats Bama girl!

Busy week on my end with midterms, so didn't get to exercise at all on Tuesday...but I did get my butt in gear and ran/walked 2.5 miles on Wednesday and ran/walked 1.5 miles today. My whole plans of training for the 5K later this month are out the window cuz it is SO FREAKING HOT!!!!!!! I had to wait until 9:30 at night to go running cuz it was so horrible out, and I don't have sidewalks where I live, so I don't want to be running out in the street with DD in the stroller after it gets too dark. (It is light until about 10 here right now). Even at 9:30 though it was still hot enough to make me not want to run my normal distance....I am NOT a heat person if you can't already tell! I'd love to get up in the morning and run, but I'm also not a morning person, ha ha.
At any rate, been sticking OP (I think I'm running under calorie wise I've been so busy to be honest, but am doing the best I can), and I can feel my clothes already getting loser, so I don't think I did too much damage last weekend. Still too nervous to get on the scale and check though, lol. I'm thinking maybe this Sunday will be weigh in day.

Going to take DD to the movies tomorrow for a little girl time, and am prepping myself for no movie popcorn or candy. I love popcorn, so maybe I'll try to sneak in some of my own airpopped lol.

Yesterday was OP -planning for another OP day today.

I dropped the little bit of water weight I was holding so that's good.


Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
