Hey! Thanks for all the messages!

Yeah, I've been shimmying and figure of eight - ing about our place since yesterday... and I learned how to do some freaky cool snake arms by using your back muscles to roll your shoulders.

I got up early this morning and did a big clean of the house... damn, what a workout!!

This is so cool, chilling in my own place surfing the net on a Saturday. Bliss! :D

Ooooo, did you learn those back muscle snake arms from the Rachel Bryce arms & posture DVD? I love that workout!!! That Serpentine move is so killer!

That pancake sounds divine.
 
Ok, so this morning I didn't smoke weed. That's the first time in a long time.

It's actually a bit hard. Broke down and told the bf I don't kinow if I can. He came out and said he won't smoke as much either, so that I don't feel tempted.

I'm still going to smoke after hours, but not in the working hours. I don't know if that's good enough :(

Had a wave of emotions take me over this morning outta nowhere... just wanted to get swallowed up by the earth, not have to face anything. Yet here I am, still. I am fine, and I will be fine. Everything will be okay. My bf was saying maybe it's time to change up my antidepressants... I said I'll try cut down on smoking first.

I have planned to exercise again a bit this week. I need to stay accountable to someone other than myself though, so I'll be posting my commitments here.

Tonight I plan to go to my usual belly dancing class for an hour. Then I want to do:

50 crunches
50 pushups
50 squats

That's it. :waving:

Everyone says THC isn't that bad, it's not that bad, and of course, people WORSHIP the stuff, but if you're quitting or cutting back, the pleasure/rewards parts of your brain WILL be like WTF, and you might feel depressed, initially. Stay strong! Exercise may definitely help combat it.....endorphins and all...

Shandy also is a belly dancer--you should check her out! We can have a BD club :D U, just kidding...:eek:

I'm envious, I NEED to step up my game and practice--my teacher thinks I have it in me but my half marathon training and Yoga devotion took up all my time--I'm gonna buckle down and GET TO BELLY DANCING! :smash:

It's true....that happened with alcohol with me.....and when the man quit THC for over a year and a half....:) the cravings were outta control sometimes! BUT HE DID IT!!!....I was so proud of him!

You can do whatever you set your mind too Anke! ;)

You're gonna have some MASSIVE GUNS SOON! I just might give you a ticket to come join me in "my" GUN SHOW!!! :smilielol5:
 
So I gained 0.4 pounds this week... and then wondered why. (I realise it's no significant gain, but it ain't a sufficient loss either!) So I went back to my food diary I kept all week and found I had not been as good as I had somehow fooled myself into believing!!! I totally didn't count a lot of the stuff I ate and drank, even though I wrote them down... like I'm lying to myself!

Anyway, I've decided that this next week it's back to taking care of ME, and doing the things I need to do to see the results I want to see.

I want to make exercise a DAILY habit now... I figure that's the only way it'll ever become fun and automatic... I need to get that flame burning again!
 
Ok, here's some help. Read this to get perspective on weight: Why The Scale Lies

Make yourself a planner or a file on your computer where you schedule workouts and meals AHEAD of time--this is totally anti-stoner behavior but stick with me, here. No fibbing to yourself, and maybe Fitday can work for you--it doesn't work for me because I am not motivated enough to punch in the wacky tacky obscure foods I eat. Check off your workouts and configure the calories burned to the calories you ate for the day, and track your weekly progress. I use the "exercise calorie counter" on this website but I'm sure it's not THAT accurate, however, a rough estimate is better than nothing: Am I Fat? Discover the ins and outs of your body weight. Also, read about, pick and choose, and get recipies off of THIS website: The World's Healthiest Foods Always educate yourself on nutrition and vitamins and minerals needed!

There I hope that helped!

Hey Anke!!

I caught up on your diary. I am going through a similar thing. Trying to get the life in order. The slowing down on smoking will come with time. Don't beat yourself up if it doesnt work as well or as fast as you hope it will...take one day at a time... :)

I am so happy your bf said what he said. That it will work. You both believe it than you know its true :)

Derek and I have had troubles in the past, but a quick perk up, and we are apologizing and all loving toward each other. I read a mag clip from cosmo, said the grreatest way to make things work is to confront the issue and get it taken care of immediately. Sounds like you arre on pa ...

good for you hun!!
and congrats on the activity. You def inspire me and probably others hun. Keep trecking!! :)

and as far as your food intake.. I am having problems myself, been binging. don't know quite how to take care of that. I guess just stopping is the only way to go ... ugh

love yas
always

Hey ladies, thanks for stopping by.

Thanks Val, I checked those sites out, some awesome stuff.

So... I have a plan... I like numbers so I'll count calories again... without fitday though, just going on averages and sticking to clean/whole foods.

I want to cut my calories by 500 and exercise another 100 cals off per day at least. This deficit should give me consistent losses of about 0.6 kgs or just over a pound a week.

I am SICK AND TIRED of making plans for myself and just not sticking to them... what's the point!??

SELF-SABOTAGE CAN GO FIND ANOTHER HOME!!! :smash:

This week it's all about taking care of me... damnit! I can DO THIS!!!

So, this morning I had some treats, but I've counted them into my day's calories and will just continue from there.

And here is my exercise commitment... if I am not doing an official workout (I have cardio and strength ones printed out and ready to use at home) that day, I must go for either a 30 minute walk, or skip rope for 30 minutes.

I will allow one day off, but that is ALL. I can decide when to take that day off, but most days WILL contain exercise.

I CAN do this, right?? YESSSSS!!!!! Come on, rev that engine Anke!!! VrrrrrrrrOOOOOOOOOOOOmmmm :auto:

I love myself completely and unconditionally. Nothing could ever change that. Therefore I should ALSO take care of myself unconditionally. And I will. I am. NOW I am.
 
GOOD JOB!!!! I noticed too for like 3 days, I didn't write everything down, and everything got out of control! Writing it down, seeing it, not lying to oneself....that's what it's all about! Being loyal and COMMITTED to oneself!:patriot:
