I find it helps to do a light workout after a hard one, it keeps me from being extra extra sore. But, I'm glad you had fun at your bootcamp! Swimming sounds awesome, I just cant afford to go to the pool all the time. :(

Keep up the great work!
 
Thanks xorie! I was a bit torn at what would be healthiest. Push past pain or take a rest. I opted for a rest day this time, next time I'll try a light workout. See if that helps.

Last night I woke up at 3am cause my legs had this awful dull ache. I couldn't sleep! And everytime I would move it was excruciating. I must have just totally overdone it!

I'm really lucky cause my gym has a pool! Am hoping swimming will burn some calories without hurting too much. Advil does not seem to be helping :(
 
Still very very sore, but went lane swimming. Felt great and I pushed hard. I'm a little ticked off because I'm just not loosing. I'm not cheating, sticking to 1600 calories every day and that 1600 is made up of healthy food! I've been working out and I've lost a pound in the last 2 weeks?

Trying not to get too concerned as I'm prob building muscle, etc. Just feels a bit crappy. I took my measurements and my body fat percentage so that will be a better indicator when I measure again in a few months. Just wanna see that scale going down, y'know?

Anyway ate well today. Went to my dads for dinner and said no to dessert! Go me!

Breakfast
Plain oatmeal
Milk
Green tea

Snack
Apple
Cottage cheese

Lunch
Veggie sub
Herbal tea

Snack
Apple w tbsp natural pb
Oolong tea

Dinner
Chicken breast
Spinach salad

As usual tons of water...

Cheers :)
 
Well I'm back into the groove of working out. My bf did the grocery shopping today while I hit the gym. He's been so supportive.

So at the gym I did one hour walk/jog combo (my legs still KILL!!) and then I did 45 mins of lane swimming.

No probs with eating today. Guess the cravings finally realized they weren't gonna win ;)

Breakfast
Oatmeal
Milk
Shot of wheatgrass juice

Snack
Protein shake (banana, berries, flaxseed oil, protein powder, milk)

Lunch
Brown Rice crackers w salsa
2 pc toast
Apple

Dinner
Homeade stir fry (veggies, chicken brst, noodles)
Fresh berries

I feel like I'm in a good place with this right now. I'm not fighting cravings and grumpy that I can't binge. God I hope this feeling lasts!

Btw - any tips for making your body stop hurting after over doing it in a workout? Been stretching and taking advil and drinking lots of water....not really helping!
 
OK, so we know bootcamp was painful, but was it at least fun while you were doing it?? I wish I had advice for getting rid of the pain. :( Glad to hear you have a nice, supportive boyfriend, though! Mine was doing grocery shopping while I ran a 5K yesterday. Congrats on getting rid of the cravings, that's a huge accomplishment!
 
Hey Laura! I have done this bootcamp with a different instructor in the past and though it was hard I had fun. This last time I did not have fun. It was too hard and I felt like i was constantly just trying to keep up with these other girls. I skipped eating before I went to I'm really hoping that being really hungry was part of the problem.

I think the last class was so fun and I expected this one to be too. But it's just beyond my workout level. I'm going to stick with it and just suck it up. It's gotta get easier eventually right??
 
I can't believe how stressed I am about going to bootcamp tomorrow :(
My legs still hurt lots from last time. On the brightside sucking at the bootcamp has given me more motivation to work out everyday so I can get in shape asap! I need this bootcamp to become do-able asap!!

Took dog for long walk, stretched.

Breakfast
Oatmeal
Skim milk

Lunch
Rice crackers w hummus
Slice cheese on rye bread

Snack
Plain low fat yogurt
Honey

Dinner
Chicken brst w homeade spinach pesto
Butternut squash
Skinny cow


Oh ps...I got a comment yesterday that my butt was looking smaller!! Wahooooo!!
 
I totally screwed up. I ate well all day and then got in a stupid argument with my bf and ended up eating some dark chocolate and a cinnamon bun. This is the only time since I started a month ago that I gave in to emotional eating. I'm so mad at myself! If I had lost a significant amnt by now I'd just tell myself to keep on going no big deal. But I've only lost SIX pounds. I have 44 pounds to go.

Really mad at myself. Not at a good place right now :( really upset. I should have been stronger.
 
Well i paid and registered for a half marathon!!! It's in May 2011 and is an all womens run to raise money for pediatric cancer. The cause is motivational as is the fact I've paid the $85 registration fee!!

I'm gonna do it!!
 
So...today went well. Back on track from yesterday's slight binge. Stuck to 1600 cals.

Breakfast
Oatmeal w skim milk
Banana
Green tea

Snack
Cottage cheese
Apple

Lunch
Plain yogurt
Homeade stir fry

Snack
Rice crackers
Hummus

Dinner
Chicken brst
Parsnip/turnip
Skinny cow

I did second night of boot camp. It was NOT any easier. Was feeling really emotional afterwards and was upset with how difficult I'm finding the class. It's discouraging.

But on the drive home I decided to take a new approach. I'm not gonna bitch about how sore I am and get nervous and stressed out about it. I'm gonna suck it up, work my butt off and whip myself into shape so it gets easier. I'm not gonna give up. I used to be in good shape, I can get back to that level with some dedication.

I'm sticking to my workout schedule no matter how sore I am:

2 days bootcamp
2 days running
2 days laps at the pool

That's it.
 
Weighed myself today. Stuck at 6 pound loss ... 194. My period is coming so i think that might have something to do with it. Oh well...teying not to get hung up on the number for now. Trying to believe if I eat healthy, stick to 1600 cals and workout most days the number will have to go down eventually right??? My clothes don't feel as tight as they used to so maybe my shape is changing and the weight will follow...?

Jogged today. I HATE the treadmill and decided I am never running on one again. So i ran outside :)

To join the half marathon training clinic I have to be able to run 7k. The training clinic starts in January. So I have about 3 months to work up to 7k...I think that's doable.

Breakfast
Plain yogurt w honey
Half Banana

Snack
Cottage cheese
Apple

Lunch
Turkey sandwich w veg
Apple

Snack
Hummus
Rice crackers

Dinner
Green pepper stuffed with extra lean ground beef, rice and veggies
Skinny cow

I feel happier. I have a long way to go but at least I'm on my way there now instead of being depressed and not doing anything about it.
 
Hmm....today I've got mad cravings!! I totally want doughnuts or muffins!! Total comfort food!! Just gonna try to stick to my cals today. I've got bootcamp tonight so if I'm still craving a treat maybe I'll let myself have a small something after bootcamp.

I just want cake or even a big coffee with cream and sugar!! Mmmm
 
I think I wanna get a digital scale. I have this ghetto old one that swings back and forth and lands on a line. It's frustrating bc is SO tiny!! Sometimes I try to bend over to see where I'm at and that sends it swinging again! Grr

Plus it's really only noticible when you've lost at least a pound. Whereas on a digi scale I can see like a .1 weightloss (though I hope it'd be more dramatic loss than that!)

Anywho...think I'm gonna check some out. I try to weigh myself once a week but am finding my 15 year old piece of crap very depressing lately.

I just realized I've resorted to blaming the scale! I think that's along the same lines as convincing yourself it was the dryer that shrunk your pants, not the fact you've been stuffing yourself with junk food the last several weeks!!

Hm.

Be strong!!! I like the idea of a small treat after bootcamp... I have been wanting donuts for quite some time and have managed to avoid them. I'm sure you can, too! Want to know how many calories is a donut? That might help :bigear:

Hey!
I just saw your diary and wow congrats on your progress, you're doing so well, and your kicking butt at keeping all the cravings away!! Power to you!
Hahahah I totally understand what you mean about the scale... mine keeps decalibrating, so one morning the line will be at 2 lbs, another day at -2lbs...and then ugh so frustrating. Seriously, a digital scale is a must! I'm considering it too...and its a big motivator too I guess, seeing those 0.1 lbs drop away....

Anyways, keep up the progress!!
