Fresh Start

ok well with jogging hills on monday followed by spinning yesterday I was SORE yesterday. I stretched last night before bed and surprisingly I am not as bad as I was yesterday when I expected to be WAY worse, like hobbled worse. So that's a big positive. I am giving myself a gold star because wednesdays are the workouts I most commonly miss because I will do good mon/tue and then wed I will feel sore and think hmmm I need a rest day and choose the extra 1.5 sleep over a workout.

sooooo I am up @ 4:30-check
breakfast and lunch ready-check (though I do need to throw some extra fruit in my bag)

I will plan to walk on treadmill today and then if things loosen up and I feel like jogging I will. The hint of a shin splin I have been battling seems to have left me for the time being as well. I am hoping to get to the running store for a new pair of shoes this week, so far the weather is not cooperating and I dont think today is a possibilty but maybe tomorrow.

oh and mr.nice scale says 162.0 and I have been working out, drinking tons water, and eating plenty so I dont think thats a ton of water or muscle mass going out the window.
 
within calories today, not full of good calories unfortunately, again excellent until after lunch and afternoon snack thing hits. Anyway I also have a mundo headache today I allowed myself a trick or treat size pack of reese pieces in afternoon then that didnt do any help with the sugar headache, on way home DH had a doughnut and I did too (dumb) anway headache still really bad (mental note sugar did not help!!!) and dont have any interest in dinner, going to bed early hoping to feel better tomorrow.

positive note: good workout, feeling good, within calorie range, 3rd day (today) of lowering my sugar is usually the worst though since I ate too much sugar this may carry over into tomorrow
 
Hey mom, if you're still following along with the challenge, Team 2 would like you to join their team. Let us know if you'd like to :).
 
Hi, okay I'm now here to publicly invite you to join team sweet cheeks. I spoke with Blancita last night by pm, and she is okay with the idea. If you want to join us (we hope!!!), go to the team 2 chat thread, click on the spreadsheet and replace the name Renda with your own username. Lena was allowed to fill in her workouts and diet points retroactive to last week, so I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to as well.

We really hope you still want to join us... you would make a great addition to the team. Cheeky avatar is not required...
 
thank you for the invite, I absolutely accept, though I refuse to have a butt avatar LOL.

I did not get up to work out this morning I am very sore but I do plan on walking on break/lunch at least 40 minutes. I also just got a toddler workout dvd from library so maybe I will do it with DD tonight depends on how these headaches go.

on positive side the scale is loving me today at down 1.5lbs more from yesterday. I realize I am not loosing true weight this quickly but it does make me happy! Hopefully I can help make up for not having alot of points the first week.
 
you can post your points retroactive to the first week in replacement of Renda's. It looks like you have been documenting your exercise and eating so its all good.
 
Yes, the intention was definitely to have the points substituted for the new players so the points start off right. We better kick it in high gear for this week's challenge week (I'm off to a terrible start LOL)!
 
Well the only sucky thing about you joining is that you will be on the opposite team...However Im friends with some them, lol:)ANd i still cheer them on.

Welcome aboard!
 
Thanks everyone, definately within calories today. I allowed myself an 80 cal sweet treat in the afternoon and no other junk today so that was good. I was not very hungry at all today, I think that had more to do with no workout than with a new trend but we shall see.

I was toward the low side of my calories. I walked for 30 minutes today and then shoveled (as excercise hubby had snowblower out) for 10 minutes but then DD got a bit needy. So 40 minutes, not too great but it gave my legs a chance to recoup and tomorrow I shall jog.

everything is in the spreadsheet, not great first week total but I didnt figure out my food for first 4 days since I wasnt in challenge so I had to give myself a zero. This week is on track so far though!

whoot whoot so I have figured out not getting all wrapped up in scale is alot harder when it is LOVING you. Anyway mostly kidding but it said 159.0 today which is down another 1.5 from yesterday--which was down 1.5 from teh day before hmmm. Well I am fine if it is back up some tomorrow but it is still a nice trend and since I have seen 159 I am pretty positive I can get there and maintain by weigh in on monday which is super awesome as being in the 150's wasnt a goal until the next week! I was in the 150's still right until about a month ago so I think that is helping here.

ok so.....
up @4:30 (despite DD sleeping with us last night=crap sleep=super bonus credit)
yesterday was in calories=bonus
lunch packed
breakfast packed
green tea made
getting my jogging bra on LOL--double bonus points

oh and points entered in thread for last week YAHOO, I was not the lowest despite starting 4 days late, and so far this week I have not flubbered
 
Calories in range and I did 60 at the gym jog/walk (jog 1.5) followed by 15 of weights (abs+inner thigh)


Did well today, I didnt spark but I did know what I was eating for calories since it was a repeat of earlier in the week, I have been writing on a post it note and jsut rounding up so I know the walnuts I had were just under 200 so I round up the oatmeal just over 300 so I round to 350, all that rounding today puts me at 1700 I know if I sparked it I would have room for a small snack but I am feeling lazy so I am eating raw spinach (whcih I actually like) spritzed with that 3 calorie dressing spray---it could use some cranberries or almonds but I dont think I have the room so this will suit for now.

I am a bit hungry--just a twinge not bad, and you know what....I think I forgot what that was!!! I am borderline diabetic, have been trending that way since I was 13. I absolutely hate having low blood sugars and so I eat frequently in small amounts to prevent it. Problem being if you let your portions get out of control or eat the wrong things you are headed to weigh disaster and that was what I had been doing I ebleive. Now I think I need to let myself get hungry once in a while to learn what that is!!!!! I always 'think' I am hungry but maybe not.
 
I dont know why but my darn sig line says my BMI is 25.9 when my tracker record says it is 25.1, I was going to post celebrating my 0.1 from being 'normal' LOL but it is fibbing to me--well one of them is. I will wait until on screen says normal just so its more 'official'.

I wish I could figure out how to do a google shot of my weight tracker, it is revealing to look at. I was doing so good last year through march then no log ins from mar-sep and it rocketed then continued to climb even iwth log ins then went down oct-nov then back up from nov-dec (thank you holiday overindulgence). Now I am back on track again but I am determined not to let it be over in march.
 
scale says 159.5 woohoo, even though that is 0.5 higher than yesterday I dont care, that is normal variance, I am excited because it confirms that I am in the 150's wahoo0000zerrrrr. Now I have enough time before TOM to ensure I dont see the 160's again---well until I have a second but I will NEVER see 200 again of that I plan to make sure. That was perhaps one of the most mortifying moments of my life is the pre-admission weigh in where she said 204 my eyes bulged even in the midst of the more important circumstances I had going on I was shocked.
 
hoping that check in frequently on weekendd will help, this is a 4 day weekend and includes my brithday so big challenge for me eating wise.

so far today 1400 calories (my raange 1500-1800) just ate nice dinner so doing good. Off for some shopping and then some couch time with hubbby. I anticipate popcorn or blueberries for a snack so should be low end calroeis today and I got in a workout so very good.
 
Hey! Wow. I posted a comment in your old journal. I was so confused because I thought my post had disappeared - but really, I was just posting in teh wrong journal. What I said to you was:

Hey! I'm super excited you're part of the team! I noticed that you said you couldn't watch Grey's Anatomy because you don't have cable. I actually watch it online at abc.com since I have class/studying to do around that time. Just hop onlien and watch it at your leisure! If you want to watch the older seasons, I go to surfthechannel.com and you can search almost any TV show you want!

Anyway hope your weekend is great! You're going to eb a great addition to our team!
