I had one of the kinds of weekends too. We spent too much time with the MIL on Saturday which kind of wrecked the whole day. I had stuff I wanted done on Saturday but DH thinks Saturdays are for goofing off. I used the rain as an excuse to be frumpy.
I did do much better yesterday. I got in a 9 mile bike ride but no dog walk. I spent too much time at my desk trying to get all the paperwork caught up from the last three weeks or so.
Food will be better today. Food was horrible on Saturday but somewhat better yesterday. I've also gotten behind in my water.
Today was a tough day. Work was insane for some reason. Last night I didn't sleep well probably because of the diet coke I drank at supper.
Food was so so but I kept it under control. I could have made some tastier and healthier choices. I did do quite a bit of walking today plus I did 30 minutes on the airdyne. The dog and I walked a mile tonight.
I'm so close to slipping into the 240's. Its hard to maintain control and not sabotage it. And its hard to be patient waiting for it to happen. I know, I know...it will happen.
Way to go Terri! It is horrible to have to be patient and wait for the weight to go away isn't it...
I'm doing well, not really letting things trip me up this month so far...Even though my body is doing it's usual "don't lose anything for a week or so after the period" thing. But I finally recognize that's what it's doing, so it's not freaking me out this month.
I've had internet problems the last couple of days. I'm bumping us back up on page one! I'll be leaving tomorrow for San Diego for a few days for a work conference. I'll be trying to get lots of walking in and eating seafood.
I did "okay" over the weekend....Actually my exercise was REALLY good, my eating was another matter altogether. But I'm trying not to dwell on it and just keep moving forward.
We had a fire drill at work today so it was seven flights down. I decided that I would try the seven flights back up! I was huffing some by the fifth floor but I made it and lived to tell about it.
Work was frantic today as was trapped in a meeting all day so little walking about. I have work to do that I brought home so I had to pass on my spinner time.
I think 7 flights up and down sure counts as a workout...I had to do 12 flights down once right after getting back to work from the gym - thought I was going to DIE!
I was looking over my numbers (food, exercise, weight) for this month and I realize that although I've done REALLY well on exercise, I've just plain been eating too damn much (and too much salty stuff). So, I'm not going to make my weight goal, but at least I recognize why. And I'm not giving up on this month - I'm going to try and at least be down 3 pounds.
Okay, I'm not going to make my weight goal either. But I will be down three pounds from where I started.
Well worth all the effort.
Pam, since its just us, do you want to continue on here or try another challenge. I'm happy to keep on with the monthly Bootcamps because I know when I'm starting and ending. I don't want to quit the challenges because its helped me maintain focus on exercise and kept me from quitting months ago.
Three pounds down is better than nothing! My weight has been so weird this month right now I have NO IDEA where I'm going to be on the 30th - as of today I'm down 7 pounds, but yesterday I was only down 3.
I definitely want to have an October challenge - it really helps to keep my focus.
Okay, my goal weight was 273, and this morning I was 273.8, so I guess that's not too bad. I hit my goal (and exceeded it actually) for exercise minutes too!
I'm ending the month at 250 which is great because since starting doing these bootcamps back in May, I've managed to get off 15 pounds and past a point that I haven't been able to achieve the last several years.
Let's move on to October boot camp and kick some butt!
Way to go Terri! It is horrible to have to be patient and wait for the weight to go away isn't it...
