MJ's Road To Fitness

Hey MJ :) Hope your back starts feelin better soon. When my back feels tight or sore, I like to use the exercise balls at the gym; lay on them and use them to stretch a little. It doesn't always do the trick, but it definately helps.

Thanks Jess! I am going to give that a try! I started sleeping with a pillow between my knees and that's helping. Damn, my belly is so big, it's like I'm pregnant with a food baby! Sheesh.
 
Well I think it's not only feeling down and out, but the stress of it all. Plus if you're feeling that low then your effort level/intensity can't be as high as if you're feeling positive. Man that team has such attitudes!

I haven't weighed myself yet. I picked Tues and Sat to weigh myself. I don't want to do it too often, but I feel I need a mid-week weigh in just to see if I'm on track or not and if I'm not I can boost it up the last half of the week. That's the plan anyhow, lol.
 
Friday Update:

Yeah!!! Sun came out today!! Finally I could feel the warmth and breeze during my 45 min walk in the California sun.

Feels good to get out and exercise outdoors. I took my little pups for a walk too. Put my little one is a puppy stroller since she has a cast on her from the back surgery. She looks like that dog from "There's Something About Mary."

Hope everyone is having a great week!!

I'm going to try to give it a good go this weekend and lose a few pounds by Tuesdays weigh in!

Go Pink!!!

I was glad to see the green team member get the boot. She was dreadful and I couldn't stand to watch her anymore. She was out of control and should have never been let on the show. Her mom is a real winner too with that positive attitude she exudes. I think they got a low weigh in because they both wanted to go home.

Good plan on the weigh ins, keeps you on track without having to see the daily ebb and flow of water weight. I need to do that too.

I agree! They didn't really put very much effort into it, and is it soooo hard just to be a normal person?! Taking offense at everything someone says, and making everything out to be a "they're coming to get me!" attitude is just.redic.

The green team was sooooooooo defensive. One thing I read before, which the green team is a perfect example ,is that when you are disagreeing or arguing with someone, people rarely remember who was right or wrong, but what they don't forget is who had the worst communication or attitude. I guess that could be said for the red team too! Textbook example there.

Saturday Update:

I just got back from an hour walk with my pups. My poor little girl can't walk right now, so I take her out in the puppy stroller. Our other pup is a fatty, so he walks on the leash. I call him Mr. Poop. He was so out of shape on the walk, could barely keep up. Makes me realize that I need to get him off the couch too and make him walk.

Sad that I would have probably sat on my rump today if I did not feel guilty that I needed to get my pups out of the house.

The sun and fresh air did both the pups and I good. Seriously, it is helping pull me out of my dreary funk!!

Hoping to get in some heavier cardio tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
 
Its good that you got some cardio in but it looks like you need to kick it up a bit more, have you been stretching and getting in any strength work ?
 
Hi MJ; I'm jealous of your good weather!! It's a deep freeze up here right now. Puppy stroller ... tee hee.

I'm doing some cardio today also. I'm putting Fatty on the treadmill and I know she's gonna HURT. lol

Have a great day.
 
Re: The Green team.... yeah their attitudes are just horrible. I'm interested to see how the mom is going to do by herself. She won't have someone agreeing with her and being grumpy/negative with her. I don't think it'll go well. Or maybe, she won't feed off her daughter's bad energy/attitude it may help her focus... who knows!

It's good you got out though. To be honest, everyday is a struggle for me to exercise. I'd much rather sit down and relax, so for me, everytime I exercise it's something to be proud of. So even if you would have just sat around.. you didn't! So focus on that!
 
Good Job on getting that walk in!!! :party:!! We can do this woman!!! :cheers2:!! Let's stop bullshitting shall we!!? ;) ((me included :blush5:))!!! I love yoU!!! GO PINK!!!! :D!!
 
Mr Poop... lolllllll! Love it.
I wish WE had sun and warm here! EFFF. Its snowing again out there. Christ on a cracker, I wanna be able to walk the 15ft to my car without getting snow up my pants and down my socks and shoes. grr. Hope ya got some great cardio in!

I do need to step it up A LOT more!! LOL You're right on there.

No stretching and minimal strength work. That will be my goal this week to get more of that in.

Deep freeze? Oh my goodness, I don't even know what that is!! I see some frost on the car sometimes, that's as close as I get.

Way to get that Cardio in!!

Re: Green Team, I think the mom will be the next to go. She wanted to go home last week, and I have a feeling she might throw the weigh in to get off the show. The sooner the better, then let Red hit the road next. lol

Thanks for the support! I struggle everyday too to exercise. I have to get back into the swing of things and make it my new vice.

LMAO! You called it! Time to scrape up the BS and throw it out the stall girl.

Let's make this our comeback week!!
 
I am down 1.2 lbs last week! Whoo hoo. One step at a time!!

This week I am really going to try to step it up bigtime!!! I keep saying that, but shouldn't that make it come true?? Come on law of attraction. I guess I need to do my part too.

I am not managing my stress that great. I have to hit the gym to work off some of this stress and frustration this week. Ugh

Will be back to post more later. Have a good week everyone!!
 
:party:!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!! Great Job!!!! I'm gonna go weigh in soon too!! Didn't do that great with the stress out the roof last week!! Hope it didn't make me keep the lbs on!!! Wish me luck teamie!!! I'll be back to report soon!
 
Awesome work on the weight loss!

You're doing the right thing by hitting the gym to work off stress; it's the best way to de-stress and feel great! :)
