I really wanna get on my bike for an hour tonight... but im so tired I just wanna sleep its 8 pm and I already slept for over an hour

i think ive been exercising too much

courntie- if your tired don't push yourself to work out. take a breather but not for too long! i say take a day off from work, that way you can finish all the x-mas stuuf (that's what I did!)

wendy - i'm done with shopping too! Isn't it great?

brandy- yes it does feel grrreat!!! I'm going on 2 days of working out and I love the soreness in my legs and I don't feel so bloated anymore!

shari - you can do it girl. it's not gonna be easy or quick but it can be done. it took me a long time to figure that out (and I still don't have it right!) good luck on hitting next year's goal.

So I have been good exercise wise for the past 2 days. The food could be better. There's no novena tonight (thank god, I'm exhausted) so I'm hoping that the new gym I joined is open and I'llbe heading over there after work. Yay!!! I've been waiting for this gym and I can't wait to get started working out there.

Have a great day everybody!

I ended up doing half an hour last night, ill prob cut back to half an hour in the am and half at night so I can get everything else done. I am hoping to take Friday off work so I can get most of my baking and cleaning done. Ive got most of my wrapping done, about 3 or 4 things to go

I'm not going to make my Christmas goal and I am okay with that, as long as I don't gain because I know over the next week my eating is going to be horrible.

So I'm down like .4 this week. Which is fine with me considering TOM just left and my eating has been horrible.

hey guys!

ugh, I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open! I woke up at 5:50am this morning to get a workout in at the gym. Yay!!! They finally opened up Planet Fitness. It's pretty cool, there's nobody bothering you (well I was the only one there for about 15 minutes). I got a workout in on the elliptical, treadmill, and the recumbent bike (which really did nothing for me, btw). It was only 30 minutes, but it was a very productive 30 minutes. I'm hoping to go home and get a strength workout in.

I have one more big party to worry about tomorrow night. There's gonna be lots of alcohol involved and food. I hope I can contain myself, but you know, it's the holdiays and all. Who really wants to restrict themselves this time of year? But I plan on being really good. Not too much drink or food. And I plan on waking up early tom. morning to go the gym again. I hope this becomes a daily habit.

shari - a loss is a loss. just take it one day at a time. your eating will eventually get better (I'm still fighting with mine!)

take care everybody!

HI!!! I'm here but gotta run! Check in later girls!!

congrats on the exercise Rosario!

I feel like all I want to do today is eat, I can't stop thinking about food... cookies, chocolate, all the bad stuff that I am going to be eating in the next few days, argh.

I dunno if its cuz it seems the scale is up or what. Anyway, I hope to again this evening - could be my last exercise for a few days. I told myself over this weekend I didnt have to worry about my eating - my stomach is much smaller now and ill never be able to eat as much as I used, but I still figure ill gain something, haha. Im going to try and keep exercising over christmas but I dont see that happening... I deseve a break... i think, gah. I feel like im trying to convience myself of something I shouldn't be worrying about.

Who cares if I gain 3 pounds, I can lose them again with no real set back... im stressing myself over nothing.

I totally expect to gain a few pounds back but the thing with me is that I have no desire for the little extra snacks and what not, it's the drinks that are going to get me! LOL! I'm sticking to wine or wine spritzers this holiday season maybe 1 appletons rum if I can con my Dad into cracking the bottle he just got as a gift from one of his customers!
Well, one more day and everyone will be MIA until after Christmas so just in case I don't get back here....

You're sooo right courtnie. I think it's okay to splurge....it is the holidays. And like I said before, nobody wants to be on a diet with all the good food that comes, oh, but once a year! Just as long as it isn't a permanent thing. I mean, really, how much weight could you possibly gain over the week? It can't be too much.

I, on the other hand, don't even come close to having lost as much as you have. So I will have to be careful, because eating whatever I want, is really playing with fire. And I really aint in the mood for getting burned.

btw - I already blew it for lunch...I went to Mcd's. Shame on me!!! Even my bf was like "why?? you went to workout this morning!" So they kind of cancel each other out. Ho hum.....I have got to work harder on this

very cute card!! that's what's gonna get me tomorrow night!!! all the alcohol I am plannign to consume. But I am definitely thinking twice about it. If I'm gonna workout tomorrow morning, I don't want to throw it away on a night of drunkeness. Besides, I hear it's bad to binge drink (and that's what I typically do at these parties) maybe I'll just limit my drinks to one glass of hypnotq...and sip it really slow.........

I'm only having wine on Saturday when my "date" is here! New guy, first date, have to steady my nerves somehow! LOL! Otherwise no booze for me until New Years, and thats only going to be a glass or two then also because it's just my folks coming over to celebrate the New Year with Ryan, who will still be up, but in bed by 12:10! LOL!

I'm drink, so drinking isn't an issue for me, its the eating I like! haha

Today is my last day of work and then I get 11 off... I was so bored today I made this, www.bucket-head.net hahaha I need a life

courtnie--that's a cute blog. lol

I am so out of it. Last night I had some major issues w/ my bf. I spent the nite in a hotel, for chrissakes. I'm so stressed out right now. I didn't even eat last nite and all I have had today is a mini-muffin from the continental breakfast the hotel offers. Ugh!!!! My bf screwed up so bad and I don't know if we can work it out. I have so much to think about.

I have to go to a family get-together with him tonite, so I don't know if I'll be getting in any exercise. I really don't want to go, but I told him that I would and that we could try and resolve this issue. But I don't know if it's going to be that easy.

It's true what they say, stress is the best hunger suppresant. LOl Maybe some good will come out of all this.....I mite drop some weight!

take care guys!

Rosario~ I hope every thing works out for you and your BF!

I have unexpected company staying here for a few days, blah, I hate last minutes plans!Oh well, deal with it!!
My mom took a hissy fit on me today so she has announces that there is not going to be a Christmas....guess she doent realize it'll come even without her say so! LOL!If I have to make my own dinner for RJ and I that's fine with me,I'm not into hangin' with someone with a bad attitude these days anyway!
Well ladies, have a great Christmas weekend and eat lots because there are no excuses after the New Year!!!
Merry Christmas!

Rosario - I am so sorry to hear about you and your boyfriend. You know my MSN if you need to talk. I hope things can be worked out.

I just finished my baking.... 40 chocolate chip cookies, 40 almond cresents, and 25 haystacks! haha - I am still thinking about doing sugar cookies.

I got a Christmas Presents in the mail today but an old friend. We haven't exchanged gifts in a few years... anyway - lets just say its one of the best gifts! I got this huge box of stuff from La Senza (and it wouldnt have fit if I hadnt of lost 50 pounds!) - I got a really cute penguin robe with matching PJ's and slippers. A 3 bra's with 11 pairs of matching thongs! lol I am so excited, I haven't bought new panties in a few years! So I am very very happy! Anyway, I know she has a job at the store so she got half off everything, but Im still feeling kinda bad for only sending 20$ gift cert to starbucks
