Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

I will.......and a side note.....I'm GONNA BE REALLY angry if this lack of beer/alcohol doesn't serve me well in the weight loss department! All it's been doing is annoying me..........

............keep your fingers crossed.............:iagree:

What about the self esteem, focus, determination, empowering,... departments? I think what you are/have been doing takes a lot to do and deserves recognition!! So...way to go!! :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:
 
I agree, Kill it Lady :coolgleamA:!

That's so awesome that you've stuck to the no drinking for so long now. Your doing awesome :) I must say, the one spin class that I did was an awesome, amazing workout but with my biscuits and man parts (lol) I just can't handle that torture seat they have on those things... I've almost looked into the padded shorts and everything but I don't know how much they would help, lol... Running seems to be my thing though, so I'll probably just stick with that :)

:smilielol5:..........OH MAN!!! That is funny!!!!! I know all too well what you are going through....;)!!! At first I would feel awful the next day, like as if my cheeks had adopted tennis balls to sit on....hahahh.....SORRRRRE :eek:....now it's better! I like running too, and I wanted to go do that, but honestly, I think I need to do them ALL!!!

I decided today, that the best way to get back into running is to run a RACE, a little 5k, nothing big..but HEY something.right?!?....there is one on Saturday, and though I know I will truck on slowly....I think I'm going to do it! Get it over with, and listen to the GOOD MUSIC at the end! ;)......

....hmmmmm.....might throw in a RUN at night...now that I think about it ;)


Thanks Sam.....:cheers2: Cheers to you killing it out there! ;)

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!! :party:......

...I really appreciate it......it's sad....and it shouldn't be that hard to quit drinking...but it is....and you are right....I am doing it.....but mmmmmmmman........do I wanna break all the time......LOL!!! ;) I was wondering how long it would actually take for me to get to the point of NO CRAVINGS?!?!? ..........I wonder..........


but all in all.........THANK YOU.......your recognition of my little baby task is WORTH it....and all the things you said as well...........that is why I keep doing it!
 
Sam, the padded seat is such a ball saver. I highly recommend a pair. It feels like you have a load in your shorts, but the man parts will thank you. I usually wear a set of real shorts over them so that I'm not advertising too much.

Alta, the OH shunning will help. Have you been weighing yourself, and have you noticed a change?

No ....I haven't weighed....I'm scarred that I'll find out my worst fear.....

...basically that ....this starvation mode is bullshit and that I gained MORE while eating more, and that I am only getting worse, and I quit drinking! :eek2:

That would terrify me....and since TOM is here....weighing is will be distorted right now...but NO......:( I look the same....I feel the same.....clothes feel kinda barely looser....almost IMAGINARY ILLUSIONS......I'm gonna weigh in though...in 7 days.....*GULP*....i'm scurrrrred!
 
Don't be scared! WOW run that race!!! Racing sucks, btw. Haha! :hug2:
it was you woman, who INSPIRED me to run a race! I wonder if you feel that racing sucks because you like to place, and the strain is that much harder?

....I actually loved the part in your diary, where you actually wrote out the "turmoils" that go on in your head while racing, because I do that too.....I always wondered if it was a piece of cake for you, running so fast and all!?!?!....now I know....;)

....I used to run races, when I was like 15....and younger,....my Grandpa was really into Marathons, and little 5ks were his way of entertaining us! :eek:....THEN, I hattttttttted running with a PASSION!!!! I can't believe I like it now!

I'm like you :) I don't like to weigh that often but I'm thinking here in the next week or so imma stand on that scale and see where I'm at. It's important to know at least once and awhile... Your being so good with all your eating and exercise and no alcohol that i would hope and think you wouldn't have anything to worry about... TOM is something I can't relate to though, and I know that throws a lot of curve balls to many women on this forum ;)

**FINGERS CROSSED**... I hope so!!!! I mean, though it does feel like a long time, no drinking, STILL NOT LONG enough for all I have drank! :( I have a lifetimes worth on this........so I guess it's gonna take me a while......

...but that is exactly why I think I have been a "YO YO" lately too, because of the FEAR of weighing in. That fear has kept me from really facing the truth about matters, and IT'S TIME.....I'm actually disappointed with myself....thinking back now......it's been 7 months almost since on this FORUM, and what do I have to show for it, but a few measly lbs........which are probably higher than what my ticker says! :(......


....I think that when I come back from Vegas too....I will QUIT TIL' this FAT QUITS, which ever one comes FIRST! ;).......I figure I can't be a FAILURE, if I never QUIT!!!!

....right?.......
 
You have done amazing things in your time on here. Just because it's not what you thought you would lose doesn't matter. I've been on here forever (about a year and a half with my diary and since i first got my trainer) and my weight hasn't gone down as much as I would have wanted but I'm still happy with results. You have to remember losing weight is a process, and during that process we live our lives... and sometimes life throws us shit that slows us down for a minute, or we have to learn some important lesson about ourselves... However, we always know (now) that we have to get back on the wagon ASAP... Our new healthy habits are too hard to walk away from after we've spent all this time developing them.

I can say, for myself, that i have lost around 40lbs in the last year and a half... sure I sometimes wish it were more but i think that's the overachiever in me, lol.... What i am most happy about is "yeah, I lost 40lbs in a 1.5years and I've kept it off and know for sure, that there is no way I'm gaining it back, ever....

YOU ARE RIGHT!!!! I would say, for me, more than the weight loss.....what I most have received out of this forum, is the PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT I have done here! The acknowledging of what drives me to do what I do when I do it, has been the most valuable for me in this understanding process! AND you are right, it is a PROCESS!!!!!

I am proud of myself for a lot of the things I have done, and I have great people around me, including you ;) that DO KEEP me motivated.....FOR THAT, I am grateful! :iagree:

Frustration does take over me sometimes.....the one thing I haven't figured out, is what the HELL causes LAZINESS in me......and WHY?!?!?....Why can't I just do as I say I will......not some of the time....but ALL of the time?!?!?!.....TRUE....TRUE....life does hit us with shit....but I find that a lot of the shit....is CREATED by ME!!! :(......pure excuses.......if I could figure out HOW TO TUNE THAT LAZY BIT&%*H out of my head....then LIFE WOULD BE DANDY!!!!!

....YOU are an amazing inspiration as well, and 40lbs is IMPRESSIVE!!! Fo'SHO! ;)
 
Like they say, a lot, or even most of weight loss is mental... If I knew what caused me to be so damned lazy sometimes, or even when I feel I self-sabotage myself with negative thinking, poor choices, etc... if I knew why I did it and how to stop it ALL, then I would probably have the body of my dreams right now... but, I'm human, and I'm still learning a lot about myself. Although I think I'm much better than I've probably ever been - mentally and physically, I still think I suffer from a little bit of that "fear of thin" or the "fear of actually being successful"... It's so weird... and aggrivating.

It's funny you say that.....I've read through that sticky thread, and there are so many things that triggered in my mind while reading it! Really made me think a LOT!!! :(
I think I have that same fear sometimes......most of the time.....RIGHT NOW though.....I want SUCCESS!!!! Hence, the lack of alcohol, the fitday log, and the exercise.......we'll see how it goes in the mental cage up there!?!?!

....You are right Sam, I guess the conflicting thoughts will never change, and I'm sure the maintenance portion of it has a whole different set of obstacles with it as well! I'll tell ya when I get there ;)! Or you tell me when YOU get there!?!?!
 
Exercise yesterday:

25 min. Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred Volume 1 w/ 10lbs weights
25 min. Jillian Michaels-Cardio Kick Box-no weights
20 min. Windsor Pilates-w/ Ball
40 min. Walk w/ Dog-1 mile...I think

...DOING it.....:gnorsi:
 
Whoot Whoot!!! Rock out lady!! You are doing great!!

I was reading the above convo with Sam and I think laziness hits all of us... including the pros. Its just part of life and I think as long as we BALANCE our laziness with activity then its not so bad. And we have to remind ourselves that we are making lifestyle changes so that we can live happier and longer... all the while looking HOT!!!

Just keep doing what you're doing and succes will find you... I PROMISE!!! :)

PS Jillians Cardio Kick Box kicked my ass last week, I was sore for days! (I used hand weights which I think is why I was sooooo sore!!)
