MoonGoddess's Path

Wishing you a very happy almost Friday... Hope it's a great day today.

it's also be Humble day -- which personally i find silly - take a moment tobrag on your accomplishments... :)
 
Humble day? Not sure I will be participating in that. Just seems beneath me...lol. Interesting.

Yeah I'm with you. Lets celebrate the wonderfulness of ourselves! We all could use a little more of that in our lives.

Like I am amazed at how great the body is at healing & am greatful for every deep breath & can take. & the restraint I possess in being able to not rip off people's heads when I want to. I am thankful I have common sense & think before I speak!

Thanks for the well wishes.
 
ok I have to document this. The kid that runs deilvers for the bakery just came in with a big huge plate of tiramasu (new recipe that they are testing out). Wanted us to eat it & give feedback....ARGH. Whatta struggle. But I passed...even pulled out the green grapes to munch on as the office mates moaned about how good it is. Smelled danged good!

But I have a goal & I WILL lose this weight.

oh... temptation over. deep breaths.
 
YEAH finally a day off of work! I think I'm going to work out & clean the house & maybe head off to the aquarium & an outlet mall. I know its not a lot of extra cardio, but I figure any and all steps count in the end & that's why I'm working out ahead of time! :)

Weigh in day for the Taxing Challenge.

Seems to be dropping again, thankfully. I feel like I am getting lighter or thinner...by no means can I be considered thin, but my body is just feeling better. Less like a big blob. Jeans aren't fitting as tightly. Which I am just as pleased with as any drop on a scale number. Frankly I would way a ton if it were healthy & I looked like I weighed 120 lbs. Its not about the number but what I feel & see. Just sucks we can't make our bodies just poof into what we know we should be. Make the outsides match the insides.
Oh well off to work out.
 
Well today has not been what I had imagined it would have been. :mad:

Starters I ended up getting a nose bleed 16 minutes into my walk on the treadmill. So I had to stop & deal with that crap. Not sure why the heck that happened. Maybe cuz of the smoke inhation still. Sucks. Now I have a migraine. SO yeah no going to the mall or aquarium or anything. Have done some laundry & had to deal with a work drama (on my day off.... yah someone's head might have to roll when I am officially back on the clock).

I just feel really stressed out & sad. Its like my body has revolted. Not sure what to do to make me feel better. Was hoping a nice walk (maybe a run?) was going to help but that didn't work. Might have to try again later tonight. Just sucks.

I want to be healthy. Whats with all the frickin road blocks?
 
I don't know about the road blocks, but you are doing so well! Sometimes, we just need that extra time off from the workout etc. So, take it since you need it, and push yourself when you are better!!!

You are doing great!
 
not road blocks just little detours - little side trips that you can take on your way - you're still gonna get there -just maybe taking a slightly different path
 
I agree with Mal. Im sorry ur workout didnt work-out the way u wanted it too :) I will be thinkin bout ya, hope u have a great weekend :)

Ok well for starters rmember what I was going through liek a week ago - Pequin told me that is proven fact once in an exercise routine of two weeks that offically stops can trigger depression - I think she was right on target with that

also I am the queen of distractions and a life of road blocks or detours or bumps along hte way as I referre to them as - i am no quiter and havent quite yet - just plug along slowly at your pace and do what you can - maybe instead of the treadmil go for a walk with a friend or something - anyway my point is just find what you can do and make work for now - you will get there

Id offer to walk with ya but I am a littel far away - LOL
 
Aww thanks! Actually your challenge is making me get my butt in gear. Walked 2.5 miles today so far.

I see what you mean about the depression. I'm kinda prone anyway so I guess I really should be more aware, gets hard. Don't want to admit your depressed, just that everything else in the world is wrong. Hopefully admitting is a step.

So yeah. I am reading the Absolute Beginners Guide to Half Marathon Training & working on setting goals. Long term, mid term, short...helps with the focus. & I did work out today which is an improvement over the last few days... onward upward right. Figure even if I'm not entirely up to where I was at a week ago, then at least I can do my homework & learn how to get me to where I need to be.

THANKS FOR ALL THE ENCOUAGEMENT! This forum means more to me than I can even express. Helps to be in this with others who understand. I am so grateful for all of you.
 
Does feel good to have worked out & focused today. Nice not to be exhausted & stressed out from work. Was able to enjoy my day & do what I need to do.

Oh & I forgot to mention a new motivation thing I started up again. I did this in the past, but had forgotten til today. I have a pillar candle which I light when exercising. When it gets to a specified mark, I get to reward myself. Haven't made any marks but I'm thinking when it burns to the end - I deserve something good. Like a new work out outfit or running shoes or something. Anyway started that back up. Kinda motivational to be walking & feeling like quitting & look over at the candle burning & think of the fat burning off my body to let my muscles shine through & do their thing.

Got my Self magazine in the mail today & its SELF CHALLENGE TIME! This is how I lost weight a couple of years ago & it helped to get me in the habit of exercising regularly & actually doing cardio, flex, strength & nutrition work. Starts monday... I'm in!
 
Almost forgot to log in my steps today. I want to start really tracking them & hopefully hit 10,000 steps.. then increase it. Should be an easy enough goal if I am getting in more treadmill time too!

So for today 7884 steps.
 
I just have to remember to light it...erg. Just did 30 mins on treadmill & completely forgot to light it. But hopefully I am going to do another 30 minutes a little later, so maybe I will light it then.
 
Just realized by looking at my ticker that I am a quarter of the way to reaching my healthy weight! Wow. Can't wait to see it half way there.... & then of course being there would be the best.

Sorry had to celebrate!
 
Think I will log all my steps into one post. or maybe one post for each month? Dunno. Anyway....

So 7884 steps yesterday
6697 steps today for me. Did better yesterday, but hopefully even better tomorrow. Doubt it, have a LONG day full of payroll, meetings, all kinds of stupid trying to get people adjust to a new time clock system & then after the 9-5 I have to go to a board meeting for at least 3 hours. Not sure when I will be able to fit in a 30 minute workout, might have to just stick to adding a few more laps around the office & parking lot. Ug.

No matter, its going to be a great day. If I can't do perfect in the exercise department, then maybe at least I can do great in the food department! If not there is always the next day to get where I need to be.
