Oh I worked it real good all right ;) I do love the post workout sore muscle feeling. That's one of the reasons I like to do something "different" each week... keeps the body guessing!!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Thanks Sara!! I wouldn't be concerned AT ALL you didn't make it today. You go everyday... and you know you'll kick butt tomorrow ;)
 
Yikes... I feel lost this morning. It's Wednesday and I can't decide whether this week is flying by or dragging along. The weather is warmer today, I'm still quite sore and I'm thinking a nice walk and a yoga session might be the best idea. I just walked Emma to school and shoveled the driveway. I NEED to get laundry done and really start getting the girls stuff ready for dress rehearsal tomorrow night. AAAAHHHHH.... TOMORROW NIGHT!!! Wow... listen to me. I've got every excuse possible right now. The truth is, I really just don't want to go. There, I said it!! I'm not going to get down or feel guilty about it either. I don't need that stress!!

Time to go check on some journals :)

So yesterday was just a complete write off :p I did nothing all day but stress about everything I needed to be doing. I had a really hard time not eating every piece of crap I could get my hands on. I kept thinking that these are the moments when I would eat... now what am I suppost to do?!? The answer "EXERCISE!" kept popping in my head but I just ignored it ;) We had our last rehearsal last night and I had to stay till the end. I didn't know this at the time so I hadn't eaten any supper yet. Didn't get home untill after 10pm so I didn't eat anything then either. I was really proud of myself for not stopping at MD's (didn't even want to!!), but not eating for 8 hours is just not right either!

Today is a crazy day. Both girls have christmas parties and concerts and we have full dress rehearsal tonight. Hubbies got the afternoon off and I can hit the gym for some much needed stress relief this afternoon!!!

I cheated and stepped on the scale this morning... 135.6!!!!. I know it's not my offical weight b/c I didn't eat anything yesterday, but it was still exciting to see. If it's still down tomorrow I'll be jumping for sure ;)

Ok, off for x-mas party #1. I post my workout later if I get a chance and post some Nutcracker pics :)

Have a fabulous day :D:D:D
Marie
 
135.6!!!!!!!:party:
I am now .4lbs away from losing 15 lbs!!! I have met my christmas goal and am now only 5 lbs away from my goal of losing THELAST20!!!!

Ok, back to reality ;) Didn't have time for the gym yesterday which was SO dissapointing. It's been 3 days :p I need to have a better backup plan for times like this... although times like this don't happen THAT often (thank god!!)

Last night was the full dress rehearsal... so much fun. My husband came to video it so we can show all our family back in SK over the holidays. I ducked out early so I didn't have to stay till 10 last night, but will have to for the next 3 nights :p

I have been planning all week to get to the gym this morning, and now I have to go to Emma's school this morning and then again in the afternoon... it never ends. I'll figure it out.

Well, time to go check on everyone's weigh in's. Hope there's good news all around today :D
Marie

You better be catching up ;)

I DID make it to the gym yesterday, and it felt SOOOOO good!!! Did 30min on the treadmill - intervals

10min - incline 3.0 - 2min run @ 6.0mph - 1min walk @ 4.0
10min - incline 10.0 - 4.0mph with random 30sec sprints
6min - incline 0.0 - 1.5min run @ 6.5mph - 1.5min walk @ 4.0
4min - cool down

Total: 30min - 2.20 miles

Then did lower body workout with machines and squats, finished with abs.

TODAY... though... is a completely different story. I really thought I could get up and go to the gym but I didn't :( Had 2 shows today, with a pot luck supper in between. I ate WAYYYYYYYY to much so I decided to to go for a run outside the theatre. It felt really, but was way to cold and I was NOT dressed for it. I could have gone a lot longer but my hands were frozen. They we went to Starbuck's and had a Pumpkin Spice latte and felt like crap again. I was way up on the scale when I got home :ack2: opps!!

Another 2 shows tomorrow with the same potluck... I'll do better ;)
 
Hey nice workout!!! Props for even ATTEMPTING to run outside in this cold weather!!! It's probably sooo much colder up by you but I just cannot even think about what it's like to run out there!!! And even though you felt like crap, you desereved a little pig out session :piggy: haha we all do once and a while!!! :D

Have fun with the last 2 shows!

NUTCRACKER IS DONE... LET CHRISTMAS BEGIN!!! :cheers2:

Today is all about laundry :p We've got quite a snow storm here so I'll have a good shovel here in a bit. Both girls are home now so the gym is out now till we get back :( My parents have a full gym in their basement with a treadmill, bike and free weights so I'll be able to get some workouts in while we're there.

Isn't it funny how where NEVER happy with where we are?? Ok, maybe it's just me but I've met my goal of 135, but now I'm wishing I was under so that when I have a coulpe of days like this weekend I don't go up over. It's silly. I was so unhappy yesterday b/c I was 136.6. Today I'm back down, but it got me worried about whats going to happen over the holidays. I talked to my sister and she was making cookies... a whole bunch of cookies. I asked her why and she just said "b/c it's christmas!" I gonna need to dig deep and find some serious motivation and self discipline, b/c all I can think of right now is pie and tarts. And of course 13 hours of driving means a couple of fast food stops :p But it's Christmas right ;)

:hurray:YAY!!! LISA'S BACK!!! I missed you too. I can't wait to hear your all about your fabulous shaggy weekend ;) 2010 HERE WE COME BABY!!!

I am getting so nervous for our trip tomorrow. I had nightmares all night about every possible horrible thing that could happen to us... it was horrible :( But, I got all the laundry done and now I just need to pack it up! I didn't workout all day (well, I did shovel the driveway twice :p) but then right before bed I had an urge. It was actually kinda fun... and alittle x-rated :blush5: I did a whole bunch of squats, pushups, dips, crunches... and all naked while my hubby watched. Not sure why... but it was kinda fun. I felt so sexy and my body looked so good. That is something that would have NEVER happened before. If I even tried to do something like that I would have ended up in tears b/c I hated my body so much. It was impowering actually!! This morning I was down on the scale again... 134.8!!! Well, better finish the packing. I want to get a workout in at home here too. Maybe the Kathy Smith video that kicked my ass last week ;)

I can't believe christmas is only 3 days away!!!
Marie
 
OMG I NEED TO STOP EATING!!!!! :reddevil: There is so much food in this house and I'm eating all of it.

We left on Wed, drove 15 hours, (thru 3 provinces). Thursday was great... did a workout with my sister... was down on the scale (134.4lbs)... just plain awesome. Then came christmas!! I have been eating way more than my body is used to. I'm so tired after I eat and have been making rather frequent trips to the bathroom. I was up to 137.4 this morning (not completely naked, but close enough) :( I really need to get my shit together here!!!

Now, to change the tone completely... I went boxing day shopping today and bought 2 new pairs of jeans... SIZE 28!!!!!!! And holy crap do they look good!! If that is not motivation to stop stuffing my face, I don't know what is ;)

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas. I sure am. It's so good to be home with family :D

Marie
 
Hey Marie! I didn't even see that you posted.. I must have missed it before! Let me tell you.. I ate til I literally coudln't eat anymore.. don't feel bad... I had the shits AND threw up! I tell ya... if I didn't learn my lesson this time... I don't think I ever will! Jeez I hate party food! LOL

I was up on the scale too, 137.2 :-/ but I'm not weighing myself for a while because I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. We will get back on track no problem :D

And that is awesome about the jeans!! I also got 2 new pairs! Size 29! High five for us :hurray:

I totally know what you mean about having a 'sabateur', I am a freshman in college and before I left for college I weighed about 190 lbs, and I'm 5'6", so I was very overweight. I had been trying to lose weight for about 2 years. However, I found that my mom actually made it a lot more difficult for me to stick to a diet. I would be motivated and really making an effort but she would always ask if I wanted to go out to eat or order pizza, neither of us have healthy eating habits at all, they're awful actually. I'm glad to hear you're making an effort to show your kids good eating habits! Not that my mom did it on purpose but she actually caused me to gain weight and made it very hard to take it off due to her constant temptations even though she knew I was on a diet and she knew how badly I wanted to lose weight. I think it has a lot to do with respect, she wasn't respecting the fact that I was trying to do something healthy for my body and just wanted a partner to eat bad food with so she wouldn't feel as guilty, maybe you should sit your husband down and just say I know that you like to eat fast food sometimes but I'm really trying to do something healthy for me and to set a positive example for our kids and it would be great if you could respect that, if you want mcdonalds thats fine but try not to include me in your decision. That's what I did with my mom and she realized how much she was tempting me all the time so she changed how she acted. But my point is that I have been at college now for about 4 months and currently weigh 155 lbs.! I went on the same diet I have been trying to maintain for years, low sugar, low calorie, and overall healthy foods, and the difference was that I didn't have someone constantly tempting me, I found that I was strong enough myself to eat some fruit or a salad at the dining hall instead of the pizza or hamburgers, its empowering to find out you really are strong enough to eat healthy, sometimes its your environment or the people you are with that can hinder your diet efforts. and I still find when I come home for breaks I eat worse than I do at school, I found my experience pretty enlightening! Hope this helped, keep up the amazing work you can do it!! =)
 
Just wanted to say congrats on the awesome progress in such a short time period. I think it was gutsy of you to choose such a bold username. But you are about to pull it off! Good for you. Keep up the great work. You are making your username proud so far. :)
 
Merry Christmas! Glad to hear you enjoyed the holidays with your family!
:banghead: I have been horrible too! Words do not describe it. I got up this morning to drive my parents to the airport and made it to the gym before work - honestly if I didn't have to drive them I wouldn't have gone and continued sleeping but it felt great to get there - I went a whole week without the gym and feel like I've gained 10 pounds! I feel pretty confident about getting back into it and getting these holidays pounds off pretty fast however I have a wedding tomorrow night and then a New Years party so things will still be slow for a couple more days and then it's back to basics!
Chat with you soon - I have lots of work to catch up on!
