Renewing my sense of worth. Again.

I laughed pretty hard when I read about how you thought those morning people working out where crazy yet you hadn't even been to bed yet!! That's pretty funny - I could never work out at 3am despite what time I got up or what I was used to - I just wouldn't do it so good for you! Hope your cold gets better fast!

lol, TRUST me, there are so many days that I sit here and try to talk myself OUT of going, it gets a little rediculous! If I just got up and went instead of convincing myself to go, I'd get there a whole hell of a lot sooner, fershur!
 
Gym tonight- 80min cardio. Thats all :) my schedule is so nice this week that I think I can get killer workouts in every night(so long as I don't get lazy :rolleyes: ) and tonight SHOULD have been a better workout than it was, but I got lazy and didn't get to the gym as early as I should've. Psh. Lammmmmeeeee.
 
65min crosstrainer tonight. Decided to try a new program on it; efffff. It was hard, lol. I only got 4.52miles in!! But I sweat a TON, so I guess thats okay :rolleyes: I did shoulders and chest last night, and my god. I hurt so.bad. Its the 'good hurt' tho, :D but still! holy crap... workin 10-7 tomorrow; Friday's gonna be a loooong day: 8am to 1230am. Umm, definitely not going to the gym tomorrow night, and depending on how tired I am Friday night, it may not happen then either.. eesh.
 
Wow that are some very long hours you got there! What kind of work do you do?

Meh, right now my employment situation isn't the GREATEST, but I've worked at a pool hall for six years, I just do that two days a week; and I'm also a manager for a grocery store. Useta have a job that I loved, but I can DEFINITELY say now that I DON'T have it, and I make less money, I'm a heck of a lot less stressed out :) weird- work more, make less, and I'm happier than I've been in years! :D
 
Haven't been on in a few days; no worries tho, I'm still here :) didn't go to the gym on Thursday night, as Ihad a VERY long day yesterday, and after that long day yesterday, I didn't go LAST night; annnnnd tonight, lol, missing again. working 10-7 tomorrow. Its kind of annoying how they schedule me to be the closing manager, so I work till 1230am, then hafta be there the next morning at 10am... whatevv. I'll live :) it doesn't happen ALL the time, so its no biggie! Will have time to make it in to the gym tomorrow tho. After three nights off in a row, I definitely need it...
 
Gym tonight: 65min crosstrainer; 4.61miles.
Had some ice cream today :( just a SMALL amount, but I did have it... Otherwise, I've been trying really hard to eat as good as I can to get the best weigh ins that I can! I've started coming home for lunch so that I'm not tempted to eat a giant piece of cake, or donuts, or grease, etc., and I can see a difference in my checkbook already ;) When I start to see it on the scale, I'll know I made the ultimate right decision, lol.
Uggh, I'm freakishly awake right now; its almost 4am, and I gotta work at 10am... Shouldn't have taken such a long nap after work! Eff. Every time I modify ONE part of my life, theres something else that needs fixing, hahahaaa... neverending cycle, yo.
 
Glad to see that you where able to get back to the gym. In time you can get a job you love again. I am presently searching for one, but I guess since we have jobs we are still lucky!! I could be worst!
 
I read up a bit on your work situation. And I have to say that I am happy to see you are less stressed! That is great! :)

Hope you made it to the gym, and by the way, a little bit of icecream isn't all that bad! :) Perhaps getting frozen yogurt next time instead will satisfy the craving, and take you in a closer step towards healthier eating..

Also, I know how difficult it is sometimes to get away from eating all those yummy foods, like cake, and donuts, etc... I get I come full circle on this blog by trying to give you my two-cents, and to say that you just have to do your best to create habbits that allow you to avoid thsoe bad food. And also, don't feel too bad about it. We still have to live some. You may not lose all that much weight if you indulge on all your cravings, but you do work out. And i think there is a balance going..

So, keep up the good work! :) I know i'm not the best at this advice thingy, but I can definitely relate to a lot of what you are saying. Good luck till the next weigh-in! :D
 
your body NEEDS sleep, with your work and exercise routine as it is at the moment make the most of the sleep when you can get it.

Most definitely! Eventually life hasta even out, right? I'm just gonna focus on health and getting where I wanna be physically, THEN I'll try to iron out the kinks in the career world. And like ya said: We've got jobs. A lot of people are NOT so lucky. :)
Thanks so much for stoppin in :D

I think you're wrong: You're GREAT at the advice thing! Glad you're back on the forum :) You are always fun to read up on, and its always great to get your two cents, whatever it may be :)
As for fro-yo: uggh. I hate yogurt... even frozen yogurt grosses me out. NO idea why... I did find this great gelato place here in town tho, and their website has all the nutritional info; so I just need to eat THERE, if I so feel the need for the ice cream :rolleyes: easier said than done sometimes tho!

Lol, sometimes theres not really an option, haha. I sit on the couch and pass out for a few hours :rolleyes: so my body gets what it can, when it can. I can't be doing TOO horribly tho, right, if I'm relatively healthy(other than a slight cold right now) and have more energy than I've had in the past, yeah? There are definitely days where I nod off a little at work if I'm just sitting there, but for the most part, its not so bad. I realllly need to try to get a schedule fixed tho. I don't know how you do it Tru! Kids, husband, nutritionist, AND becoming the best woman in a sport that, honestly, scares me a little :) You are amazing. I've said it before, and I'll totally keep saying it!
 
This week is another one of the busy ones! Work, work, and some more work. Gotta make it to the gym earlier than normal so that I can get back into my longer workouts. lately has just been a lot of cardio, not a lotta weights... Need to get some groceries AND pay bills, but thats difficult also, sense I gots no money!! lol. Even with all the things that should and WOULD normally stress me out, I feel pretty good about it. Well, not ABOUT it, but I know that I'm going to get my bills paid, pay back my sisters for anything I've had to borrow(which, I hate hate hate borrowing...) and get back on my feet. Knowing that I WILL makes the realization that its not gonna happen RIGHT THIS INSTANT less than a death sentence. That also works for the weight loss, too, I guess... I know I'm not gonna be in a bikini by this summer. Maybe not even next summer. BUT, I DO know that working on myself, however small the amount, all equals to the bigger picture. Other than my addiction to chocolate... should be a chocanon meeting or something.. shiiiit.

Anyway! Gym tonight: crosstrainer, 100min 6.74miles. <-- I don't expect to be doing more than an hour of cardio a night like this often, but I had the time, the energy, and it helped knowing I was sorta making up for some of my slacker days...
Also did Tris and bis. Bingo wings begone!
 
It was cold today, and I think that mighta zapped some of my oomph. Eff this weather already! Its been soooo nice out,and all of a sudden we're sposeta get some light snow. Psh. Ridic. Also realized today that I will unfortunately probably not make it to the -5 goal before Butte's St. Patricks day celebration. Eff. With one pound this week, I'd hafta lose four in the next to make it. I'm not holding my breath, but I'm also not giving up. I'd be happy with -2 next week... We'll see :)
Worked till 1230am; cannot lie- was NOT feeling the gym tonight. Took me a loonngggg time to get the motivation to get my gym clothes on! Only did cardio- but I didn't get there till almost 4am, soooo yeah. I didn't really wanna stick around and fight the masses(lol, six people) for the weights. Oh, and yeah, I just didn't want to :blush5: . Cardio was 66min, 4.49miles. Yeah, not the greatest distance inthe world, but I DID make a discovery: Do NOT watch Tosh.0 while trying to go as fast as ya can. Well, if you're like me anyway... I've got this little problem with laughing out loud, HARD out loud, at anything that is really funny. I know some people who can smile and teehee a little... yeah. not me. Its like frickin diarreah(sp??) of the vocal cords when it comes to humor with me, lol! So, Tosh.0, which I personally think is one of the funniest shows ever, makes me LOL quite hard. Annnnd I got some strange looks from the people in the gym. Whatevv. :) But sometimes I think some people treat the gym a little to much like the library. lol.
 
MJ- yeahhh. That four lbs didn't happen :rolleyes:

I've been HORRIBLE the last few days! Didn't work out, didn't eat good... efffff. And tomorrow I go to THE place for St Pattys partys. Yeeeeeks! Will hafta really redeem myself when I get home..
 
This is just a quick post to say I'm still HERE! I have gained 5lbs in the last week, HORRIBLE. I have eaten like crap, haven't worked out in almost 2 weeks, and on St Pats day when my friends and I went to Butte, yeahhhh. Cracked my first beer at noon and drank till 4am. NEVER drank so much beer in my life... But. The fun is outta my system, the food, to be very blunt- has made me feel like SHIT- emotionally and physically. And not working out- crap. I'm always tired. Hate that.
Ok, gotta go get ready for work, but I WILLLLLL be back tonight to update my cals and workout. Gonna get rid of this five extra pounds FAST.
