Kaitie's Open Diary

I seriously hope so OHD....It was such a great feeling to be so close to 180 and now I'm all annoyed. Hopefully all this water will flush it out!!

On a good note, I've met a couple really nice people at the gym...usually I'm kind of stand-off-ish with people but I think I would just be doing myself an injustice if I keep shunning people my whole life. In fact, both times that I've actually been doing cardio and talked with people I was able to do more exercise. I actually survived on the elliptical machine yesterday for an entire mile...maybe I can up my time today. Seriously though, I don't know how some people can stay on them for an hour or so...maybe it's something I have to build up to.

Ok. Prep time is over and now its time to actually start teaching.
*covers ears* Squeeky clarinets!
 
Prune juice--bleck...

rosered: Thanks! :)

Today has been good. I'm on bottle number 4 of my water which is 68 ounces of water--25 more to go! I might float away soon, but hopefully all the crap my body is holding onto will be flushed out!

I'm going to try to get to the gym early and do 1 1/2 miles on the evil elliptical machine (that'd be 240 calories!)---I can do it! I must do it...I don't want to be fat anymore!
 
Kaitie,
You really need to relax a bit about the weight fluctuations! It happens to all of us and it is normal.

I woke up yesterday at 201, I went to bed last night at 205.
Yes - big grumble...but I am on my cycle, I did over do sodium and I drank 25 oz of water less then I normally do.

The fluctuations are normal. It's the downward progession over time that we look at - not the day to day ups and downs.

You're doing great girl, just keep doing what you're doing :D
 
*takes a chill pill*

Ok...I'm trying to relax. It's really hard when on Saturday I was 2 pounds away from 180--and now I'm back up to being 4.5 pounds away from 180. It seriously bugs me--but I'll try to chill. John says my butt and boobs look smaller, so I need to remember that the number is just a number and that my body is looking better.

Thanks M2M! :) How's the elliptical machine goin?
 
I hear ya Kaitie - I've been struggling to break out of the 200's and I know your pain when it comes to the fluctuations, but it really is the big picture we have to look at - not the daily snap shots.

You're doing great, your clothes are all too big, that is a GREAT testament to how hard you're working!!
 
hey there Katie,
Yeah don't get too to upset that same exact same thing
happened to me last week I was saw 200 on tuesday and by friday I gained
water weight because I didnt cheat I exersiced and it said 203 Friday
still a 2 lb loss from latweek but 200 sounded much much better!
LOL doesn't men have a way with words"Your butt and Boobs look smaller"
What would they say if we said " Your _ _ _ _ looks much smaller today lol?
Butt is ok to say but don't mess with the boobs.
Give it a couple days and the scale should go back down mine said 199 but
no hopes up till Friday! I have been staying away from SUBWAY high
sodium sandwhiches. Good luck Tammy
 
Ok, I'm still working on the chill pill---I went and bought some of those weight watchers ice cream bars (and hid them from John) and boy oh boy, the one I had was really good!!

Exercises today:

1.5 miles on the elliptical machine (250 calories!)
150 torso twists
150 sit-ups

I'm thinking that I need to up my cardio to burn off more calories each week...although saying it is a whole lot easier than actually doing it. I so didn't want to go to the gym today....I think I'm super motivated when I am losing weight but not in the least bit motivated when the diet is going suckily. I imagine that's everyone though.
 
I totally know what you mean.

The other day, I put on a movie while I was on the elliptical, and managed to do a 20 minute program! I was so distracted by the movie that I didn't notice the fatigue as much :D

OMG Tammy! That would be hilarious!

Kaitie, the chill pill will work - you're doing fine girl, just remember, this IS a long process. It's day by day by day...

You're getting there :D
 
Heehee! That's what my husband wants me to do...I just can't stand not knowing if I'm progressing or not. :) Sometimes it is my downfall.

Ok back down to my 6 week challenge goal--so yeah for that! 1.5 more pounds to back to where I was last Saturday. And I absolutely refuse to move my ticker up....it's a one way street!
 
Today was fine...my violin brats---I mean kids were bonkers. What annoys me the most is that the biggest brat is the best player, I wish he could just hold it together for the 40 minute period.

My exercises were pretty good, I was super tired but did them anyway:

4 miles on the bike
150 sit-ups
150 torso twists
50 abductions
30 adductions
30 compound row
30 chest presses

hmm...now that I list it, I did more than I thought I did. I was thinking that I was a slacker today but I guess not.

I hope everyone else is doing really well....2 more days until our check in!!
 
I kinda like the weekly weigh ins.. they're like Christmas with the anticipation -will I get that awesome toy or socks??

aww give um a break ;) - I was in band for 4 years, played the oboe and the piccolo. Maybe he should exercise with you - burn some of the energy and help focus his attention
 
^ oooo...maybe we should do some exercises before we play.

I've managed to hold onto my 183.5 since yesterday so hopefully my body has decided to stop misbehaving. :) I'm nervous to go clothes shopping on Monday...but its really a necessity now, I have no clothes that fit me anymore. I spent 15 minutes trying to find something to wear this morning!!
 
I know how you feel - I went to put on my favorite jeans this morning and they were too baggy! Not that I'm complaining mind you ;)
