Hey Nicki: I gave the movie a C. I thought that the ending was kinda cute. My husband didn't like it very much. Anyway, Good luck today, keeping on track. I know had hard it is to do sometimes. I have not eaten any vegs or fruits, but did drink my water and stayed with my cals. Today, I did treadmill for 1 hour very very slow 3.5MPH. My left knee is hurting me abit. I am not planning on working out on Thursday to let it heal. Friday, I will workout with my trainer for 45mins at 5:30am, then I will do yoga later in the day. I want to take a spin class sometime, but I do not know if I can make it for 1 hour? Hummmm, anyway, hope that you and everyone is having a good day!
Nicky, I've been off track too, I'm going to go to the gym today and get back ON track.
I went out with my boss for lunch today and it was bad, but it was SO SO GOOD. I had iced tea, grilled veggies with rice, TRES LECHES CHEESECAKE, and some sort of coffee drink with frangelico and kahlua and oh my god it was so good. So, it was all worth it! But it's back on track for Haley, I must meet my goal. And I'm ready to see Onederland!!!!
Ok, how do you do the treadmill for 1 hour? I did it the other day for 27 min., and it's not because I couldn't go on... but I was just so BORED! How do you guys do it? LOL
Haley I think you did alright, because it could have been A LOT worse! Like your main meal could have been bad, but it wasn't! It's like you balanced it out, and that's my goal. Balance. Great job.
Ugh, I saw the reflection of my arms today in my car window, and I DID NOT like what I saw! Yuck. So I'm going to start doing my best... I want this! Everytime I get off track, will you guys remind me how bad I want this? And that I have my cruise coming up in January? LOL Cuz that will help! I hope...
Well Nicki: Doing the treadmill is very boring after an hour. But my knee was really hurting me and it was the only way that I could burns some cals at the amount of cals I wanted to burn without hurting my knee. Also, my kids were at the church nursery and they can stay there for a max of 2 hours, and my daughter just loves it. I was watching Tv, reading a mag. And switch treadmills after 3omins. Yes, I need to get some music going....I need to get a CD player and play some U2. I love them, but their last album was not as good as the one before. What are your favorite things to do to burn cals, anyone?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone ever has been to the chat room at the 3 fat chick site. Everytime i go no one is there...hum...maybe we could all set up a chat nite sometime... is anyone interested?
Karen - Never been to the chatroom, but I'd be up for it if we set a time
Hey Ladies - Hope all is well. I walked 3 miles yesterday morning and this morning but didn't do Tae Bo either day because I wasn't home during the baby's nap which is the only time I can do it! I know walking is better than nothing, but I just don't want to get use to not working out hard everyday. I have to get back into the swing of things tomorrow. I have been doing well with eating which is good - went out to lunch with a good friend to Marie Callendar's today and I couldn't believe that I actually passed up their potato cheese soup (my favorite)!! That was a major accomplishment in itself - LOL. I had a side salad and half a turkey sandwich with all the condiments on the side. I really wanted pie, but I passed that up too - thank God!
Karen, I'd be up for a chat too. Just let me know when (evenings are best for me)
Good job, Melanie, that is awesome! I know how hard it is to pass on favorites, but it's worth it.
I need some help. I think I've lost my motivation. I feel so bad because when I started I was so motivated and now I'm just like ugh. I've been eating badly, I keep saying I'm going to do better next meal, but I don't. I have no motivation to exercise even though when I say I'm going to go, I think I mean it, I just make excuses and end up not going. I don't want to fail again this time, I just don't know how to get motivated to start again. I feel so bad.
Hang in there darlin'! Don't give up now.......you've come too far. If you get back on the horse tomorrow, there is no harm done because you still weigh less than when you started. Ask yourself this question......."what is stopping me from acheiving my goal and moving forward?" If the answer is you, then it is time to do some soul searching and figure out what part of you wants to stay the same and why? Are you afraid of change? Do you feel that you're not worth the effort? You are! You are worth every bit of effort - no joke! Every good food choice, every ounce of sweat - you deserve to be at a healthy weight and feeling good about your decisions. Remember.....you are in control of your choices, your choices are NOT in control of you. Don't allow yourself to talk you out of working out or talk you out of eating reasonably.
Please know that I have been there and one of these days I might need some encouragement from you too, but for now, I am here for you & I say you can do it, you have proven it by losing 16 lbs already. You have what it takes.......keep going and take it a day at a time.
What great advice, that helped me too....Haley, I wished I was were you are at. I have only lost 6lbs since having my baby and he is 7months old. I am trying everything in my power this week to lose 2lbs and keep it off. I hope that you get back on your feet soon. Hope that you can find some answers to Melanie's questions. KEEP ON GOING!!!!!
Melanie, thank you so much. Reading that really did make me think about everything. I think I am afraid of change, everything is great at the size I am now, but I think about it and I'll still be the same person at 150 that I am at 207 or 223, I'll just be a lot less of me. So, really nothing will change except my physical appearance. I'm going to go home for lunch and have a great, healthy lunch, then I am going to the gym after work and I will do an hour on the elliptical and strength training. I need to remember how great I feel after I leave the gym and how great I feel after I eat healthy. After I've been eating all these bad things, I just feel disgusted with myself and I HATE that feeling.
It is me who is standing in the way of my own goals. I set goals and now I'm stopping myself. You are right, I am worth the effort. You have no idea how much you've just helped me, having support makes all the difference. Thank you so much!
Karen - You are doing great, I know how slow it can be at times, but just keep thinking about the outcome.....won't that be a great day??
Haley - I am SO glad that I could help, I truly hope I did! We can and WILL do this. We're kind of like soldiers in the sense that we won't leave anyone behind when they fall. I know how horrible it can feel to be stuck in a lifestyle you don't want......and to be disgusted with your choices that affect your body. But look at you, you are picking yourself up, dusting yourself off and you are back on the right track - GOOD JOB! It really says a lot about your character and who you are to keep going when times are tough.
Something that has helped me make good choices is taking each choice that comes my way as THEE choice that will either get me to my goal or keep me away from it. If we looked at every choice as being the one choice that would allow us to lose that 50 lbs, I know every choice we would make would be a wise one.
Let's keep kicking Fat's big butt together - LOL
Melanie
Hi, Hum.....Where is everyone too? I am trying to come to this thread at least 2times a day and write stuff down. I am finding that it is helping me to do better acheiving my goals.
Just got back from my training session. I found out that they are going to have a contest starting Sept 1, to see who can be the biggest loser. I am looking forward to it, and hoping to win! Anyway, need to go for now....the kids are getting up. Have a great day!
Heyyyy, sorry. Busy day at work today! I didn't make it to the gym last night, lots of stuff came up, it wasn't just excuses. I'm just going to start again on Monday and just say I gave myself a week off.
Melanie, CONGRATS!!! You're more than half way to your first mini goal and that is awesome!! You've been such a motivation and said words that have really put me back where I need to be. Thank you and good luck!!!
Was wondering if anyone
