Risty's Diary (Christina)

Hey guys, I haven't had much time this weekend to come on because we had a surprise baby shower for my sis (we were pretending it was my b-day dinner) and then when we got there it really was my b-day dinner and a surprise baby shower as well. So we were both surprised! lol. So my eating was horrible on that day (sat) and it was horrible on sun too. My exercise was really lacking this week as well because with the exams I was trying to catch up on studying. So I'm going to have to improve for this 3rd week that's for sure.

I don't have time to write more because I have to go to work, but I'll come on later tonight AFTER I complete my exercise for the week, lol.
 
It really is ok to have a couple bad eating days... as long as those bad eating days don't turn into bad HABITS. I believe in you T. We can pick ourselves up for week 3. Happy belated BDAY!!!! I hope to catch you on chat sometime soon, though this week I start school as well... I'm hoping it will keep me MORE on track with exercise, rather than sabotaging my good intentions. Have a great Tuesday!!
 
Rant

Hey T thanks a lot :)

I just feel really bad and feel like I let everyone down. I didn't exercise as much as I wanted to, I ate really crappy a couple days and I didn't lose a single pound. So not only did I not get the max points I could have, I'm farther behind in my fitness (than if I had exercised) and farther behind in my nutrition (than if I had eaten well) and not any closer to my goal. Had I done what I did in week one during week 2, I'd be down another couple pounds. So I feel like I let team 2 down and myself down.

I know life happens and things don't go perfect and even though I feel really terrible I'm not going to let it get me down like I usually do. Usually I would just get upset and stay upset and then keep doing the same bad things (because in my mind I already blew it, so why not). But I will not do that anymore! If I have a bad day or a bad couple days like last week I'm not going to let that continue. I'm going to refocus and start over! I have to do that, not doing that is what gained me 20 pounds back, so I cannot let that behavior continue any longer.

Sorry about this rant :rant:, but I just needed to be honest with myself and how I feel, about my past behaviours and how I have to change it. Even though I feel bad about my efforts last week, I will improve this week.
 
Sometimes we need a break from working out and eating healthy all the time. It's ok you had that amazing CHINESEEEE buffet. Just get back into routine this week and you're going to do great! :)
 
Jeesh! T, the past is the past, and you cannot let it linger in your mind. Change it now! :) We are doing this together, you aren't letting anyone down. I stopped doing the 30 day shred last week altogether, so I need to start that back up this week. I am afraid my fitness may have weakened a little since taking my break, so i am hoping I can catch back up quickly. We both have to admit that it really worked. So lets get back on this thing together.
 
I know you're right T. It's hard to move forward when I really mess up, but I must and that's the whole point.

On other notes I caught a really bad cold so I"m just posting quickly and saying my food is on track but I definitely couldn't exercise today. Just laying still I feel like I'm gonna die!

AH! I hate being sick - but it'll totally make you appreciate being "normal" once the sickness is over! :) Get well soon!
 
Risty,

My favorite almost newly-wed friend! How are things? Hopefully you are feeling better...just checking in to see how things are going.

Don't get discouraged and focus on the future. Or do what I always do (just think your past mistakes as a refeed :p).

Take care and talk to you later

I'm sorry to hear that you are sick. Don't blame you for not exercising with a cold. I have had a head cold that has given me migraines for the last couple days, and I just want to lay in bed and SLEEEEP. Today my migraine has calmed down and turned into just a regular headache, so I think I might go outside for some exercise today!

Hope you feel better T!!!!
 
Hey, sorry I've been MIA. My computer wasn't working and it just got fixed. There goes the challenge for my part >< *sigh* I was really sick for a week anyhow and I could barely do anything. I went on walks on the better days but that was near the end of the sickness, it really was a terricle flu/cold whatever it happened to be.
 
YAY YOURE BACK! I was wondering if you had died. :( Hope everything's back to normal now and we'll be seeing you all the time! :) YAYY! WELCOME BACK, CHRISTINAAAAA!
 
Hey Christina, we're glad you're back...

BTW you gained enough points before being MIA that you have not been eliminated yet. Given the situation, I'm sure you could post to catch up, and certainly post for this week... You're still part of the team hun...
 
Really? I thought I definitely would have been eliminated! Well, I'll put my info in and hope it's enough. I didn't do enough while I was sick though, but I could barely do anything.
 
Today I did my dvd plus some extra strength exercises after it. Then I did 35 mins on the elliptical on hills level 6. I'm happy to say I didn't die and had no post-cold coughing fits! WOO! So that's a good thing.

My eating was on track, not the best food choices possible but I stayed within my calorie range. On the weekend I will need to make a healthy food plan for next week.

I wish I could post on everyone's diary today but I have no time, it's been a long day, had work and school and I need to get to bed!
 
Well, I've been doing my exercises but just barely. It's not at the intensity that I need to lose the weight I want. I'm mostly at a stand still with just walking and my strength stuff a little bit here and there. I need to do more. I'm just so stressed about work and school, money, the wedding, the honeymoon and then thinking about trying to lose weight by sept. It's just kinda driving me crazy. Plus my knee is hurting and getting worse, so that's why I've been slacking lately too. So that doesn't help anything. I can't wait until school is over. Plus then I'll be forced to exercise because when I get my new job I will not be driving, I refuse to pay for parking and park in a parkade (which I'm scared to drive in those things) or try to find a street to park on where you won't be ticketed, so I might as well just walk or bike. So that'll be decent because the walk is at least 30 mins one way. But anyways, I'm just frustrated with my lack of effort, I'm not doing what I could be doing and I'm pissing myself off. Minimal effort will only get minimal results, which is what I have so far. I just don't get what's wrong with me and my thinking. I know what I want, why am I not doing it?
