Oooh thanks for the advice Tammy, I will! Yes, the carrot costume was well liked, the dude was eating celery and I asked him why and he said, "Irony." I don't think that is what irony really means but it was cute nonethless.

Thanks so much Elle, you too!

Exhausted! I started my other diary thread, which is basically like a public study guide to my P.T. textbook: http://weight-loss.fitness.com/weight-loss-diary/16515-diary-p-t-training.html#post345028

Man oh man it brings me right back to high school physiology class. Hmmm. The teacher was an old pervert, I remember him clearly: apparently he had left his wife for a high school chick and remarried some years before I had him as a teacher. Gross!!! Ahem, I was going to say I remember all sorts of things, especially the endoplasmic reticulum because it sounded so wacky, but in the case of muscles it is the sarcoplasmic reticulum! Geez, I'm tired, time to go to bed. That diary is gonna be a huge burden, I just can't wait! LOL!!

Good night!
 
Hey~
Just wanted to pop in and say "hi"!
Saw that you are going to take a week off from exercising. I just did the same thing. After the HC was done I figured it would be good to "rest" in between the Halloween Challenge and the new Christmas/Healthy Challenge.
Good Luck with your week. :)
 
Hey CG! Love the party pics. Looks like you all had a great time. Thanks for the compliment on the family pic. We're a really dorky bunch!

Big plans for the weekend? I'll be out til Monday. Heading to Ohio to see my stepson.

Hi Amy! No not really, although the Brazilian guy I met at a party wants to hang out, LOL! I dunno though, he was pretty aggressive :rolleyes: I'm glad you get to see your stepson, best wishes on custody!


STACY: Thanks, you too!!!


Update: DAY 1 of no exercise. We-ell, I think I may do yoga and go for forest walks on the weekend. I have an OLD ass book called "Yoga Gave Me Superior Health" written in the 70s or something, given to me by a friend. I don't think walks and yoga are going to interfere with my body's healing process, as long as its easy restorative yoga poses and not crazy Ashatanga one legged poses and stuff.

My diet plans are to consume 1600 calories, which is going to be difficult, although I suspect much easier than if I was burning 400-800 calories in exercise!

I'm going to definitely go for 5 days like this. At that point I'll decide if I want to continue for another 2 days. I suspect that if all goes well, i.e., I do yoga, rest, and eat 1600 or less calories a day, that I should lose a pound or so. I'm not weighing myself until then. After the rest period I'm going to BUMP IT UP and start training hardcore again :D HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :reddevil:

Anyway, I have to work for Peg at 10 and that means I better hop in the shower--I'll try to hit up some more diaries before this afternoon, otherwise I'll be by the diaries then. Have a fun day! :waving:
 
Howdy Curvie,
GL with studying the P.T.Textbook do shrae any good helpful tops,advice.Hope your enjoying your rest day 1 have a funyastic
weekend,Tammy
 
Take your week off exercise and don't feel guilty about it. You obviously need it. And one week isn't going to do any harm. If you gain a few lbs, you'll take them back off easily enough. Your muscles won't go soft in one week. You'll be fine. :)

Mmmm....Diogo wants to "hang" out with ya eh? :drool5::drool5:
 
curvie dont get the guilt when not exercising! just eat right and let your body heal. otherwise youre going to grind yourself into the ground and get injured and then you wont be able to exericse for a long time. you might even find you are faster/feeling fitter when you start back again as a lot of training effects take that long to come into effect. muchos loves xx!
 
Hi

Hi there,

I just read your other thread about your goal of becoming a PT. Congrats!! I hope you do well.

It is funny that you posted that today. This morning as I was attending a weight lifting class that I am takeing at my local community college, I saw a sign for a new class to be taught for this very thing. Maybe after I reach my goals I will join you as a PT.


BTW Loved the Costume this year.

:waving:

Thanks! And yes I will indeed, I suspect that the text book will accurately answer 80%+ questions posed on this forum! I'm very excited about the Chapter on Nutrition, I already peaked in there, heh heh. you have a great weekend too!

Oh I know! I'm totally intellectually aware that it's physically impossible for me to lose a bunch of muscle and cardiovascular endurance with a week off exercise! I still suffer from irrationality, thanks for the support! :hug2:

Yes on my phone messages Diogo was like, "You have such a nice phone voice," and he was like really wanting to go running with me and he mentioned, "Or we can hang out at night, and do whatever you want to do," La dee dah, Brazilians! I tell you! I really have been getting along fabulously with the BF lately, though. I forgot to mention at the Brewery the BF revealed, "I'm happy to see you every time I see you lately. I really miss you and I think we should see each other more, and work out the logistics of that." :beating: I'm getting more and more used to not seeing him very often and only certain days I get really lonely, but lately I have been REALLY enjoying my nights at home, cooking dinner, typing away at the forum and studying my text book. Hmmm actually I just did that last night! LOL! Anyway, it just warmed my heart to hear the BF say that and even if we still only see each other 2-3 days a week, I'm happy just knowing that he would like more, rather than assuming he prefers no more than that, ya know? Still, I have ultimate freedom...............

I know I know, I know! I am!! And everybody's right, especially my body, it just hasn't been performing well and it has nothing to do with anything BUT this fatigue build up! Time to hit the books instead! Thanks for the love! :hug2:

Hi Gizmo! Congrats on your weight loss journey :D Yes totally, you should study, I think EVERYBODY should study this stuff, regardless if they want to train or not, they can train themselves, the "right" way ;) Have fun at your weight lifting class! :waving:
 
Ah, it's always good when you're happy with a relationship--and I think you have "hand" to quote Seinfeld..lmao. And that's always good. ;)

Enjoy your week of rest. :)
 
ohhhhh my comment did come up!
ive forgotten how much i missed this place whilst ive been away :)
absence makes the heart grow fonder with the boyfriend situation, eh? sometimes when you see somebody all the time even the most saintly people can get a little fed up!
anyway im glad to hear you are enjoying your time off!

It is nice when they soften up and tell you how they're feeling. When Rob and I lived together we spent a lot of time apart, even when we were both home. Him in front of the computer, me in front of the tv or reading a book. Such sedentary lives! But now that he lives on his own he appreciates his time with me more. And it's nice when they admit it. He always wants me to stay over Sunday nights even though he has to get up early to catch a flight and knows that I'll be keeping him up late.;) He travels for work and is gone most days of the week. He's actually the one that got me my oh so fabulous Santa Cruz hoodie. We spend our weekends together, except this one because I'm going to a wedding.:cry: But we made dinner plans for Sunday night.

A rest from the exercise schedule sound great to me. I've done it before and when I return I feel like I'm actually 'working' my body again. You wear out the body you can wear out the mind. Have fun on your 'break'!

Thank you, I will! And yes, the BFs seem to not take their girls for granted when they don't have enough TIME with the bitch to do so, eh? Have a great weekend!
 
So....I had FUN today! Hee hee hee hee!!

Just saying that I have not been dieting, and this is Day 2 of no exercise. I better get my meal plans together! I do have a bunch of recipes I want to try....

Last night the BF and I were getting it on, and I realized (again) that darnit, the stinker sure does know exactly how to do it for me.....I HATE that he's so good, and the best kisser in the world (besides me :D) Why oh WHY does carnality hold such a high position in love???

Anyway, I'm sleepy and I have had a lot of really good wine today, I'm drinking water and waiting for the BF to show up. Good night loves!:waving:
 
Sunday Night

I am emo, now. It's pretty shitty, my mind is trying to come up with reasons why. I ate some cake today and maybe the sugar crash is contributing to it, but I know the real reason.

The BF and I went to have a sandwich after he woke up (from sleeping all day, I woke him up at 5pm) and then when we were done eating we left the market and kissed and hugged goodbye in the parking lot. Every Sunday evening when we part ways and he goes all the way home, I'm always kind of sad....and more bummed about it than him, he seems absolutely fine about it. I got that achy feeling in my core and was near tears on my way driving home :nopity: I'm disappointed that he still has this (unintentional) effect on me, and I think it had a lot to do with the fact that last week he emailed me that I was welcome to spend the night anytime, and I said before we left, "I'll come over sometime in the middle of the week," and he said "Aww right," while staring off into space like he wasn't expecting me to say that, then I said, "You said I was welcome anytime," and he said, "Yeah I said you were welcome, I didn't say I'd want you there," and he laughed in the way he usually does when he's joking and messing with me, but being honest at the same time. And it hurt, I must say, although I'm aware that for him, absence makes the heart grow fonder and the fact that we had seen each other Friday night, Sat morning, then Last night, was plenty of time for him, even though we'd basically spent very little waking hours together. Of course, when we lay together and cuddle he acts like it's the best thing in the world, to hug me and lay with me. :) Still, as much as I have fun without him and possible squabbles, when I see him I just want to see him more and it's sad to me that he doesn't appear to feel the same way at the moment, (he has expressed that he wants to see more of me recently). It's probably a mere insecurity, that I feel the need to have him positively reinforce that he wants to spend time with me by being demonstrative about it all the time, but the fact of the matter is: I thought I was over that a long time ago. :( The old, slightly broken-hearted kind of feeling persisted and I am just disappointed that I can still feel that over him. Ugh! :nopity:

Well new Simpsons are on, I'm going to try breathing exercises and probably meditate to ease this temporary pain I'm feeling. I'm thinking I might actually say something, but not sure what, to express to him, hey, I'm oddly emo/delicate Sunday evenings and I've been feeling this way lately and I was wondering if you could take it easy with me at that time......I really don't know what to say and I think it's better if I let it go and if it comes up again next week, catch it before I get stung, somehow. Eh, I feel better already, writing about it :)

I suppose I should say that in the grocery store he was really very sweet! And loving, and huggy and kissy. We tell each other we love each other several times and it's pretty gross. I think it's just the timing for me, to hear a flippant comment in response to my wishes to spend more time with my love...if he'd been really sweet at the time of departure and thrown the joke in earlier.....yeah I think that would have spared me some pain, but I would still feel achy and lonely inside. None of my girl friends are on IM so I'm just watching Simpsons and typing away, purging feelings. Ah! That's better!

Yesterday I spent the night at his house, left him in the Am to drive to Palo Alto and hung out with Trisha, her Bf and Diogo all day, then I came home and he was out with our old housemates but it was late and I was tired, so I called and wished them to have fun and was expecting the BF to come to my house late that night. He came at about 4 am and slept the day away as usual, and I made a cake in the shape of a beer growler for Kelly's b-day and Ali and I took it to her. I had two beers, and dropped her off and came here and that's when I woke the BF.

I have not been calorie counting although I should be. This is day Four I think of no exercise and my body is really enjoying it! BUT I can feel that it still needs more days to heal, so I shall definitely go 7 days! Tomorrow I'll resume calorie counting and get deficits in to counter the surpluses I'm almost certain I have accumulated in the past few days. I also have noticed that I have been eating incredibly well with meals, but have been eating very sugary junky things in the middle. This is an unconcsious but uncontrolled tendency I MUST break and I'll start NOW :rotflmao: Ok I feel better now!!!!:biggrinjester:

I'm not really in the mood to study my text book or go into a whole lot of diaries, I just want to drink water and watch TV and relax. OK, love you gals and guys!
 
Feeling better

I watched the Sunday cartoon lineup and I also Simpsonized myself--then I did the BF. Then I Photoshopped them together, and it came out pretty cute!
 
Ha that is cute...Chin up buttercup...I fond that the guys always make it seems easier but really it is just a poker face for us gals...at least in my experience...
 
I know exactly how you feel about bf, b/c I felt that way many times in the past--but not lately..lmao. I think the best thing is not to let him know how much you miss him during the week and how sad it makes you to say goodbye on Sunday pm. In fact, the more nonchalant you appear to be about it, the more likely he is to want you around more. Men are strange creatures. :biggrinjester:
