Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

Hey Alta! We are back to the same size again! You have totally motivated me to try my absolute best this week - I could try and maybe lose 1 pound but if I try my very best maybe I could lose 3! I am going for it! I am also going to change my weigh-in day to Tuesday morning so I stay honest over the weekend. Glad to be back and keeping up to date with you. How long does it take you to run 10 miles? That is awesome and totally something I can't wait to do one day. I'm ready to smash some fat with you girl!!
 
:cry:!!!!!!!! I'm having a nervous Breakdown and I can't stop crying! :banghead:!!!!! Every bill in the world FUCKED me this week $120, and My Car Tires all fucked me this week, and I got a $500 slap you in the face driving ticket in the mail today, plus a FUCK you Alta Registration $250, plus 4 different bills, $300 each...ALL IN ONE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry:!!!!!!!!!!!!!

........and I gained 1 lb! :( :cry:!!!!!!
 
Hi, i just signed up. I have been working out on and of since i was in high school. just started back up last week and need to stick with it this time because i'm a good 20 pounds over my ideal weight.
 
My workout is: Monday- Chest Tues- back Wedn- delt & shoulders Thurs- tri Friday biceps i exercise every day for 5 minutes up & down the stairs My problem is that i like fried food and i like eating late. Bad combination. I usually do good with my work out program but not my eating habits so i get frustrated and give up all together.Can anyone recommend a good fat blooker, i was going to buy Alli and then i found out people have had liver failure and died from Alli. Is there a safe fat blooker? I heard some where online the Herbalife has a great fat blocker without side effects but i live in a small town with only one nutrition store and being my luck they don't carry Herbalife.

:grouphug:Aww that's horrible! Maybe your hunny can help you out with the bills this week - or family? Don't cry - it will all work out.
About the pound - you have lost 9 pounds in 4 weeks - that is still a huge success and more than the norm! Stay consistent and next week will be better I promise. I haven't been being as good as I want to be so I need some more dedication to make this happen. Stay strong my friend :grouphug:
 
Hey Girl!

Sorry it's raining poop on you!

I hope your week gets better. We are in last place in the challenge!! Ugh!!!

I've been a nervous wreck too. I'm going to try to redeem Pink this week!!

Go Pink Team!!! We can do it!
 
Sorry to hear bout your week :( mine has been pretty similar to tell the truth! I've been putting one bill off to pay another, etc, and its hard for me to catch up... Don't let it get ya down!

That's a nightmare! I wish I could be there to give you a hug. All I can do though is say don't let it get you down too much. It's good that you're getting all your emotions out.

Just remember: If it has a solution, it's called a problem. If it has no solution, it's not called a problem. There IS a solution to everything, you just have to wait one more day and the solution will become clear. Yes, you've got some expenses, but the other side of it is that you've got a business that's getting up and going, that's probably going to take you big places. Think of it as money in, money out. Ask some people for loans, call your bank, do whatever you need to do to keep yourself on track right NOW, and forget about tomorrow. "Tomorrow will worry about itself." You don't know how many times I've crumbled with financial pressures thinking one day the world was caving in on me and I couldn't go another day.... couldn't see a way out.... You know what? From the next day, solutions started appearing... one here... one there.... from unlikely places, all this positive energy just magnetised towards me just because I wouldn't give up in despair.

You just keep doing that brilliant shit you're doing... telling yourself how strong you are, that you're ALTA, and nothing is too much for you to deal with... because you've been through way worse than this little piddly crumb of an inconvenience.... you've practically stared Death in the face girl!!! You stared the biggest F***er straight in the face and laughed at him, so this little money f***er has NO CHANCE in HELL! He can give up, pack up his boots and go home crying to his mummy!

Sorry if this is a bit over-the-top, but I can't stand to see you upset honey. You're a ray of pure sunshine on this site and we should all have more friends like you. Check in and let us know how everything goes. XX
 
Oh dear... that is a bad week!! But things will turn round. We all have em! As for the 1lb gain, I gained this week too, but usually I check in here and you're burning lbs like crazy so just remember to keep at it and you know you'll be back on track in no time.

Cheer up, things will turn round just as quickly as they've gone downhill. :) x
 
:grouphug: Thank you guys for caring so much!!!

I did get things at peace within myself , and you all are so wonderful with your comments and suggestions. Thank you!! :)

I did well this week, but unfortunately I have not been around because @ work, this lady that did all the company's shipping department QUIT and and my boss seemed to think that I am capable of doing it ALL...including running the entire Claims Department, The Shipping Department, the company's main filing system, and Customer Service calls ....WITHOUT A RAISE!!! :( I haven't even had time to click onto the internet at work. My every single second is counted now, where as before I thought I had no time, now I really have no time!!!

On the bright side: My first week that I decided to start seeing clients, I had 3 clients this week for Hypnotherapy!!!! They loved it :beating: and more importantly I LOVED IT!!!! I am still offerering pro bono hours for a series of 3 consecutive sessions. I have 3 clients set up for this coming week also!!!!!!!!
I can't believe that this is really happening!!! I'm really doing it!!!! I'm actually completing my marketing projection plans tonight and have to submit them along with the financials for a marketing class that I am taking as well.

Last session with my Hypnotherapist we worked on that, allowing for my schedule to accomodate clients...and WHALA...where before I didn't see the light, I now see the LIGHT!!!! :D!!! All of a sudden, I can find all kinds of time to see clients, in between a class here and inbetween this and inbetween that..!!!! hahaha.... !! If ye looks Ye shall find!!! (Derrick: If you are reading this,...I am SOOOO EXCITED that you went to a hypnotherapist!!!! What prompted you to go!!!?? Did you like it!!!? What did you work on? (if it's not too personal)!!...regardless I'm exstatic for you!!! I have had wonders work with me!!)....Actually, even that day that I had financial worries, it only lasted for like 3 hours....and I was able to allow myself the gift of a replacement reaction of peace and tranquility!!!! wheewwww

.....It's funny though, because no one is exempt to feeling the overflow of thoughts, anxieties, and worries. We can all learn to adjust our reaction to our situations and behaviors though, step by step ;)!!! All in all...nothing can get you really down unless you let it ....for long at least. Everyone should release when needed, and find a way to PASS IT!!!...!!....knowing that OPPORTUNITY does lie within all ...and pondering on what it is.

....FOOD WISE: I have been pretty good this week, mainly the same vegetarian small portions, with chicken chunks here and there, and a slice of pizza on Saturday...and some Wine on like 2 days. Actually lots of wine!! haha....oh well!!!....I'm telling you...this stress at work is like LEVEL 10!!! I've decided that in about 2 weeks, I am going to ask for a raise, or tell my boss that I am only one person and that the stress level is not worth taking on the task of 2 people without an adjustment in pay, and if that can not be accomodated ...then take ONE WHOLE job away....and allow for me to do one person's share of work. STOPPING IT ALL SOON!! I miss :grouphug: all of you and coming online, and I'm sure once I get the hang of it all with SPEED in like a month or two, then I will be able to make more of an effort.

I haven't been able to train for my half marathon, let alone...that doesn't STOP the fact that I'm RUNNING IT...this SUPERBOWL FEB 7th!!! That metal is mine!!!!!!

.....I am extremely PROUD of MYSELF!!! I am making good decisions for me, and building the life of my dreams...one step at a time. To handle my stress though, I find myself DAILY a bunch of times a day...stopping to take in 3 HUGE DEEP BREATHS....I leave stressed to the point of horrible upper back pain. Which is normal and indicative of body syndromes that the subconscious mind produces as a physical release through the body. NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL!!!....It's horrendous sometimes, the pain almost brings me to tears...so I GET HOME @ 10:30 pm and I do meditative yoga for like 30 mins, then some exercise. This whole transitioning positions, has taken a HUGE toll on my mental energy, physcial energy...and I'm learning how to cope with it as I go.

....All in all,....I worked out this past week...maybe only like 3 times. I plan to bike and yoga tonight as well....had no time this week to do Jillian! Thank God for Positive Affirmation Meditative yoga!!! By the time I am done, the pain in my back (level 10) usually COMPLETELY disappears!!!!!

....I want to get a recorder soon, and start to record the hyposis part of the therapy for the clients to be able to listen to during the week as well. I have so many ideas, and so little time. Step by step!!! !!

....Weigh in is still on Tuesday, and I hope to workout tonight and tomorrow morning as well as night, so that TUESDAY I can have at least done something. Not sure how the loss is going to go since my stress level has been INSANE through the roof, and it does affect your progress in weight loss. I actually have a speech that I am holding tomorrow night, and I think I will talk about that. Gonna prepare it!! Let's see how it goes!! :D!!

......I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL SMASHING WEEK!!!! :party:!!!! Thank you for stopping by!! If it wasn't for all of you, I can't imagine sometimes why take the time to write in here.!!! !! Thank you!! ! .....Swamped is an understatement these days...:)!!!

I LOVE BEING A HYPNOTHERAPIST!! I'm very blessed..... !!!...soon within my dreams...and within this next year, ...I plan to be able to do online Hypnotherapy sessions with people all over the WORLD!!! What an adventure and a dream!!!....I can't wait....STEP BY STEP ALTA!!! hahah!!! (building my dream around my full time job!!)

Its been said that in nature, the mightiest trees, even the towering oaks are those with the most flex in their trunk and limbs. When a tree or its limbs die, they become stiff and inflexible and soon break at the onslaught of the wind; simple air.

Where water may flow over all obstacles, it can only take the shape of the containers that others give it. Air may diffuse things, but is so common it is invisible. Earth may be enduring and eternal, but is also unmoving, and fire can only live on the destruction of those things it depends on.

Be the tree.
 
So glad to hear things are better Alta! I can't wait till your a crazy famous hypnotherapist. I'll be one of the first to sign up, fershur! :) I feel ya on the working like crazy thing- I had a grand total of 4 days off in January... thats better than some months, buuuttt it still blows :rolleyes: keep up the great work :)
 
Awesome Alta! It sounds like it's really happening for you. I bet you feel like you're on the crest of a giant wave right now, just riding it in to land....!

You RIDE that wave baby!!!

It's great that you're keeping positive; you're a real shining example for everyone and if I were a man your boyfriend would have some competition on his hands. :sifone: hehe... er.. hope that doesn't sound pervy or anything.... :reddevil:
 
:grouphug:I'm so happy for you!:grouphug:
Sounds like things are really turning up! An even better reason to make this your year! Don't let stress get in the way of your dreams - I know you are strong and will get past it - we all have good and bad weeks - as long as the good out weighs the bad! I miss your daily posts so I look forward to them hiring someone else - a pay increase wouldn't be bad either.
Biggest Loser tonight and this time I really want to work out along with them - no excuses this time! I changed my weigh in date back to Friday so I avoided the scale this morning - I know I haven't been good enough to make a difference yet - time to get a move on it and bust some fat!
have a good day!
 
Hey Alta,

Glad things are looking up for you :) you seem to have turned things around, with or without the work stress!! This new job I'm doing is also VERY stressful so I feel your pain! :D It's great that you finally got the hypnotherapy off the ground. :hurray:

Oh, and I need a kick for being naughty... 2 or 3 times last week the portions were too big and I think that must have led to my GAIN. I need your portion policing skills again I think . I'm back on track with them this week though... so far so good. :)

The food and exercise front looks great, good luck with your next weigh-in! x
 
Glad to hear you worked it last night!! I'm going to work it hard this week girl!!! Time to take PINK to the top!!

We can do it! I knew once the poop cloud dissipated that we would find our way back to the goal at hand.

I'm proud of you for hitting that bike girl!! Triathalon is a coming!!

Cant wait to see how we do this week!!! No more last place for us! I can feel it.
