Enygirl--Congrats again since I did that on the other thread. The ladies here are right...in the cold. Amazing! The cold always affects my breathing when walking or running.
Speaking of which - girls is anyone else really really struggling to stick with this? I'm down *almost* #20 and I feel myself slipping. This is the longest that I've stuck with anything - but right now it's so easy for me to talk myself out of a workout - or to go and endulge on something... I'm having a really hard time this last 2 weeks. I'm recognizing it - and trying to fix it. I did the 5K on Saturday - and Sunday i was WAY too tired to work out. I did a 20 min cardio last night. I need to get back to 1200-1500 cals a day, and 6 work outs a week. I guess that if I use Sunday as my rest day - and write of what I ate (didn't even calculate because I know it's tha tbad!) then I can start over as of yesterday.
I REALLY want to start hitting my goals - but it seems that I sabotage myself. Last week I was less then a pound away from my Super bowl goal - then i binged the rest of the week - didn't workout and now I'm #4+ away... it's stupid!!! GIRLS HELP ME FOCUS!!!!
Enygirl-
I feel your pain. It's gets hard, tonight I was trying to talk the DB into pizza
But I'm eating on plan with a big salad. It's hard but you're doing so great. I can't even imagine doing a 5k. Just keep moving ahead, baby steps.
Hi Enygirl, I certainly relate to your feelings and that is exactly why I joined this forum. I was in desparate need of support. I'm no expert by any means, but since I have lost a great deal of weight in the past, here is my suggestion. Workout harder, longer every day for the next week, I know what it took. It's the reason I am here, I need a push all the time. You have lost a lot of weight and maybe it is time to step it up. You have have it in you, because you just accomplished a great feat (5k walk in freezing weather, helllo?) that is amazing. I say keep going, get stronger, you have it in you! I you on!!!!
Enygirl--I'm coming on the other side of it. I've been there when I've lost a ton of weight (130) and I slipped hard. Please do not pressure yourself to the point that you regain all of your weight. All of us need to slow down. I understand that we want to be healthy. Hello I need to lose 81 pounds to even be considered overweight. But slow and steady wins the race. I'm not saying give up, because never do that but give yourself a break. How about 5 days a week of exercise vs 6. 5 is okay, 4 is fine, and 3 is alright. You're doing it that's the point. Maintaining is okay. Sometimes I think we put so much pressure on ourselves that we make the situation worse. Slow down, take a breath, its okay. If you lose it fast you won't keep it off.
Regarding the bingeing. That's an issue I have myself. I'm currently working on a binge free challenge. Yesterday was my first binge free day. I'm working on my 2nd day now. The Shay Plan is actually working for me. I may only lose 1lb a week but as long as I'm losing. I'm not in a hurry.
Hi Ladies, I was watching a news show the other night and they were saying that here if you are a child under 4'9" then you have to ride in a booster seat in the car---- Does that mean if I lose another 2 inches that I will need a booster seat to Drive???
Hope everyone is doing fine. Just thought that I would pop in for a minute.
