Nothing To Loose - That is the goal

Well, if you change the way you think, you change the way you feel. Truthfully. You know you are haivng these feelings and you know that those excuses lead you to gaining so this is time for you to truly look into yourself and blow off those excuses, know where it will lead you and start using fitday again! if you dont write it down, it is almost like throwing in the towel and if you dont exercise, then you wont be toned like you want to. You need to recognize those thoughts (which you have) and put them somewhere where they dont affect you...

my 2 cents......
 
As always, Skyler, you have good analysis for my situation... I'm just starting with exercise, and no way I'm slowing that down, but somehow it is getting harder(mentally) to write stuff down in fitday. I am glad that I'm catching those thoughts now, and being aware of them helps, and not giving into them helps a lot! Despite what I might think, I'm not out of the woods yet with diet stuff, and if I give up now, I will most likely gain it all back. But I'm not going to let it happen. I'm going all the way this time! :) Yeah!!!
 
Ok, yesterday was almost good all the way, but by the end I did not do so well. My hubby went to the dentist and he was not feeling well, so he bought some "feel good" food for himself (cheese cake!) and made some white russians... So... I was able to resist white russian, but resisting cheesecake was beyound my will power. Thankfully he ate most of it (it was one of those small 6 inch ones), but I still ended up with about a quarter of it. It was sinfully delicious, and I enjoyed it, but it probably put me way over my calorie limit. Speaking of, I'll put yesterdays cals in FitDay and update this post.

Exercise I took a day off yesterday, but worked out this morning (got nice 20 min in). Tonight planning on biking (either stationary or real one).
 
Yep, getting on the bike is the plan for tonight! :)

Calories yesterday were about 1600 (got an estimate of the cheesecake, b/c it was hard to judge).

Tonight hoping for less calories. :) Thinking of going riding again tomorrow (horse, not the bike). I need to get stronger and fitter for the upcoming show season.
 
Ok, it seems that my plans have been derailed once again by health problems... Hubby and I got sick together yesterday. Sore throat, general malise, the usual. I have a headache since last night. On top of this, TOM is coming full force and my legs are sore from exercise yesterday. How many things can hurt in my body at the same time???? Gees! :)

So, no biking last night and no riding for today. Need to recover from this bug.

On the good note... I am running out of clothes to wear, because they're getting too big. I'm kind of in between 10 and 12 now, but I want to wait till I'm 10 to get pants. Since I'm thinking that this stage in only intermediate, I don't want to get bunch of new clothes just so that I would have to replace them in 6 month...

Anyway, it is a definitely good feeling of slimming out of big clothes...

Was bad last night and had ice cream, but I think I still was around 1450 for the day. I think I'll shoot for 1200 today, just because I've been eating kind of high lately.

Hi, hope you and hubby feel better soon. Sounds like you have being doing really well and are finaly starting to see some of the results you had been waiting for. Well done
 
Thanks, Zoila!

Unfortunately I have realized that in the last week and a half I have been going over my 1400 calorie limit too much. In fact, the average of my written down days is 1470, and the ones I did not write down are even more then that. Also, this weekend I was not able to exercise due to my cold, and generally was not very active at all. So, this week, I need to get back on that bike, do some serious weight training, and eat less! I think I will reduce my calories for this week to 1300. I need a smaller calorie goal to make sure I am watching myself very closely. No more overeating!!! My stomack is sticking out again, and my fat % went up, so might have gained a bit of fat last week. So, I need to reverse the effects of it. Yeah for the exercise!
 
sounds like you have a plan for this week. there are always weeks that will come up where life happens and your intentions get derailed (as you put it). just stick to your current plan....get some exercise in (if you are feeling better) and you'll be back on track once again! :)
 
Thanks, Skyler,

yes, I am feeling better today, and exercising is on my list of things to do.
I desperately need to feel the sence of accomplishment that comes with achieving one's daily goal both in exercise and calories, because I feel like I've been a bit off track for a while. So, I'm kind of starting anew this week.
 
You Can Do It Girlfriend You Are Rocking And Glad You Feel Better

Hello. Sorry for not posting here yesterday, I took a day off b/c of running errands and some appointments. Food yesterday was ok, although I'm slacking with fitday. Having trouble writing it all down when I'm at home.
Skyler, I'll exercise tonight on the bike just for you. :) Yesterday I had AWESOME riding lesson. I was jumping higher jumps (the highest was 2'9")for the first time since college, and it felt awesome! My horse was great, he is such a sweetheart. I'm back down to 133.5, so hopefully will stay there.
 
Skyler, I rode the bike 15 min yesterday just for you! After I get off, I did not feel like I had energy to do jump rope (I've been doing 15 min on the bike and 5 min jump rope). I felt really tired. And this morning, I did my strenth exercises, but I had no strength. Felt really tired too. I hope I'm not getting sick.

Tonight I may do the bike again, but will try to rest as much as I can.
Calories were good - I'm coming in just under 1400. I should have a light day soon(1200 cals), because I have not had one of those in a while.
 
Your Rocking Girl I Am So Proud Of You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thanks all! I'm just trying to do what I can! I know I still need to increase my exercise, but at least I'm doing what I can whenever I can, and fairly regularly. Hoping I can ride again this Friday. That would be 3 times a week, a record in last 9 months! Yeah!

I have another horse show coming up on 20th, and then another one on 29th! I need to get all the stamina and strength I can get in the next few weeks! :)
 
Good morning!

Yesterday calories - just under 1400
exercise - calisthenics 10 min in the morning
1.2 mile walk during lunch.

I think I'm feeling better today. Hope I'll feel good enough to ride tonight.
The weather should be good for that.
I got into my slightly smaller jeans today, so that means I'm continuing on the right path. I can't wait to be completely well and get in some good muscle training.
