You Go Girl That Is The Way Think Posotive And Set Yourself On That Goal!
 
Thank Goodness!

Well I think my weight gain was mostly due to salt intake because I weighed myself this morning and I am in fact back to where I was last week. What a relief. I guess drinking water is so very helpful.

Thanks for your support ladies!
 
Started Fitness Program Today

Contrary to the sad face I am actually happy about today. It won't let me change the icon. I think I accidently clicked on it.

My fitness program finally came in the mail today. I joined pushtv.com and Bob Harper the trainer from the biggest loser is my trainer. It is kinda neat. They send you a new DVD every month and it includes strength training and cardio in the form of aerobics. I'm pretty stoked. I started today and I realized how out of shape I have become. Today I changed that.

Funny Thing

I used a spray on tan product again and what a joke my legs looked like the patches on a cow. The can said to exfoliate, moisturize, spray in a circular motion and rub it in. Well I forgot to rub it in. Later that night I went for a walk and people kept looking at my lower legs ( I was wearing capri's) and looking confused. When I got home I looked at them and I started laughing. At least I can laugh at myself. Funny thing is I constantly have problems with self tanners.

One thing I liked about today

I worked out for an hour

One thing that I could have improved about today

Again my darned water. I drank a lot but just not quite enough. I still have an hour or so before bed. I will try.

That fitness programme sounds so cool...lol about the self tan, I can never get it right either, even if I follow all the steps I always end up with darker splotches!:D
 
Self tan is an evil invention, in Scotland we have have this funny milk bottle look. Where I come from we say that someone is looking "peely-waly" if they look pale. I've started using a moisturiser that has a tiny bit of self tan in it and you're meant to build it up over a few weeks and it seems to be working ok. That was one of my non-edible treats I got myself!:eek:
 
this is why I've never self-tanned before. I fear that'll happen to me.
Hell, I can't even tan regularly. The ONE time I tried, I got severely burnt. I turned red like a big apple. A tubby red apple. Yup. That was me. heh.
How long til the self-tanning stuff wears off?

good luck with the new exercise routine!

LOL! I think everyone that has used self tanners can relate!! I swear you need like 2 people applying them for you so that it goes on evenly and everywhere!!!! Thanks for the laugh.

cheers

Oh the self tanning thing will hang around for about 7 days but I buff puffed like crazy trying to rub some off but it really lingers in those dryer areas. Yes you do really need a team rubbing you down to make sure that it gets everywhere and there are no finger prints.

I never seem to learn. Every year I try a new product.

Crunchine

Crunchie what is the name of the product you use? Could I get it in Canada? It sounds like that just might work for me.

Scotland you say. My Grannie is from Kirkintilloch Scotland. I have always had a special place in my heart for Scotland probably because of the way my Grannie talked about it. I totally plan to do a Great Britian tour in the next 10 five years. My dad has cousins there and apparently my family wears the tartan of the Gunn clan. My Grannie wanted my dad to wear a kilt to my wedding but he chose to wear a full suit instead. He is kind of a shy man and didn't want any extra attention drawn to him. Just thought I would share that little tid bit with you.

I had a super day yesterday!​

One thing I liked about yesterday

I walked for an hour and then I did my strength training with my trainer Bob. My buns are sore today. I love that feeling. They are sore but I know that I've done something.

One thing that I could have improved about yesterday

Water, Water, Water.
 
Get that water in mate, im also doing the ww plan. I have started working the last few months so I haven’t been able to get to meetings. You did excellent with your exercise.
 
Hope your buns feel better soon :D lol at the tanning experience, I'm there with ya lol... have a great day tomorrow!
 
One thing I liked about yesterday

It was yucky out yesterday and I didn't feel like walking on the treadmill so I did some aerobics instead and threw my little pedometer on and went 1.2kms.

One thing that I could have improved about yesterday

I ate a big dinner steak,potato and corn. I ended up going over in my ponts today. I dont' think my exercise coundered my points.

Reflection

I am addicted to Tim Horton's butter crossants. They are 5 WW points and I have a lot of points during the day so I seem to rationalize getting a large tea with milk no sugar and a delicious, chewy, areomatic buttery crossant *smacking lips*. For right now it fits into my number of points but I really think I need to cut that silly little habit out. I'm working on it.....Somehow a nice comforting cup of tea and a bowl of grapes just doesn't feel the same.

Yes I'm a comfort, closet eater. I hate that I am a closet eater. I think that my closet eating started when I was younger. I was short and pudgy when I was around 10 or 11 and my mom really got on my case about what I ate. I was a very active kid always playing outside riding my bike etc. I don't ever rememer not wanting to do something becasue it was physical so I must have been storing up a little chunk for a growth spurt.

I remember being 5 feet and 126lbs entering grade 9 so I was 14 years old. I don't think I was overweight at all maybe a little chunky but I wasn't finished growing and I certainly had not developed fully at that time. I wish my mother didn't put the pressure on me because I pretty much am convinced that I would have grown and would have looked normal. Don't get me wrong there is some point in your life where you can no longer blame your parents.

In my mom's defence she grew up in a house with 5 sisters with a wacko for a mom. They all have horrible body images and are obsessed with weight and appearances. All sisters are thin and a couple are underweight.

One of my aunts brough on labour a month early because she didn't want to gain anymore weight. Insanity I tell ya. That same aunt use to refer to her daughter as her little chubette. Anyway I am the biggest person in my whole entire family on my mom's side and it really gets to me sometimes. My aunts are all very thin and wear nice clothing they are in ther 50's and I honestly feel like they look better than I do and I'm almost 1/2 ther age.

Ok so this turned into a bit more of a rant than a reflection. At any rate. Take from it what you will.

Blame Blame Blame all I want but I'm the one who puts the food into my body.

Hey there!
I think it is a really positive way to look at the way you eat! I think i may adopt a similar idea to you because i am quite hard on myself sometimes with my diet.
 
Sophia feel free. I pretty much started the positive and negative reflection because I am so hard on myself. I don't have a problem finding negative things to say about myself but it is so hard finding the good to say. This forces me to find the good.

One thing I liked about today.

It was my free day. I had McDonalds. I drank all of my water!!!!

One thing that I could have improved about today.

It was my free day. I ate McDonalds. I could have choose a plain chocolate bar instead and it would have been way less harmful. I could have exercised today but I didn't. I feel like a naughty child.
 
lol. today is your free day. let it be. there's always tomorrow. :)
and if u're naughty, i must be horrible. ;)
anyhoo, hope you have a better day tomorrow... and stay away from mcdonalds! :D
 
I don't think it is about blame, you understand the reasons behind some of your patterns and now you are changing them not wallowing in self pity!!! Good for you!

I am a comfort eater too, not reaching for that sweet snack at night is so hard!

don't beat yourself up over the McDonalds just know that you will make a wiser choice next time and anyway it was your free day and what are they for but to enjoy yourself anyway!

You are doing some great things, keep it up!:D
 
Thanks guys for your continued support

Yes reaching for that late night snack is so terribly hard not to do.

One thing I liked about today.

I got up and out early with my son eventhough I desparately wanted to nap while he was napping. I also have drank most of my water today and will drink the rest before bed.

One thing that I could have improved about today.

Actually I'm pretty happy with the way today went!

Reflection

My super mini goal for the rest of the month is to get out of the 70's. I am working very hard to achieve that goal.
 
"Somehow a nice comforting cup of tea and a bowl of grapes just doesn't feel the same."
