Starting over (and over and over)

Sorry to hear about your back Michelle - back pain is horrible, and so debilitating, so I really feel for you!

Take it easy :)

Sorry to hear you mucked your back up - make sure you rest and get better before jumping back on the exercise. Last thing you want to do is wreck it again. Don't get discouraged or frustrated - the exercise will still be there to get when you are up and about again. :)

Buffalo - it is my favourite meat these days, and pretty easy to get up here in the Cariboo. Local butcher carries it - yeah, it's more expensive, but so much leaner and tastier than beef.

Hi Cord, I am not doing my aqua fit right now, because i think it would kill me. If i do go to the pool, i will just do a little bit of swimming, but as of today, Im not going at all.
As for the buffalo, i eat it more than beef, I agree it is leaner and much tastier than beef. Out here, its not much more expensive than the extra lean beef.

So i was really hoping i could go to the pool today and at least swim, but its still a no go. My back is just in too much pain. If it keeps up, I will go back to the doctor on Monday. This really does suck though...cuz I was just getting a groove going with the aqua fit **not that I WONT get my groove back** I will for sure, im just impatient. Today I ate out all day.... *One of my goals is to eat out less...today was not a good example of achieving that goal..lol*
Breakfast: orange juice, water, 2 scrambled eggs, 2 toast with jam, fruit salad
Lunch: Caesar salad *lightly dressed* Calamari *fried big time* with yogurt dip, Diet coke, water
Then my friend and i went and had frozen yogurt and chit chatted on the beach, (was nice)
Dinner: Dan too me out to this really nice place called Cozai (so good)
Forno Roasted chicken, topped with lobster, Roasted tomatoes and asparagus, angel hair pasta, bread, gingerale
WOW,.... when its all typed out like that, kinda makes you say *holy crap*...lol
ahh well.... I did enjoy my day..*not because of the food* but because of the time with friends and Dan *ok, ok, food was pretty good too
 
Saturday: Breakfast - granola, yogurt, apple, water

Lunch: Iced cafe latte, bran muffin

Snack: mango frapp

Dinner: out with friend : chicken fajitas, 1/2 caesar, gingerale, soda water, bailey's and coffee.

Today: egg white omelet, with mushrooms and cheese, Two toast with butter, banana and yogurt

Lunch: ham sandwich potato chips

Snack: Mango

Dinner: Friends over for dinner: salmon steak, bbq peppers and zucchini, raw veggies and dip, hummus and baked pita chips.

I had a pretty nice weekend, spent some time with Lisa, which was great because between both of our busy lives, we never see each other. So we went for pedicures and out for a frappe, and then out for dinner and Karoake. Had to cram it all into one date..lol
 
Dinner was good, but i really need to put away snacks once everyone is done eating. We all kept .. nibbling at the humus and chips... was a relaxed night, our friend Kristian came over....him and Dan had worked all day together showing their art. I all of a sudden cant find Kristian and finally seeing him laying on my yoga mat, and he has put a towel over my 7 pound weights to make an unusual pillow. He was sleeping soundly on them on our deck. *most action the mat and weights have seen all week..lol Isnt that sad!
Anyways...my back is feeling a bit better, slowly getting there, so im hoping i can get some swimming in this week...I am aiming for Tuesday.

Just got home from Seattle with 3 friends and had an absolutely amazing, amazing time... so much fun. We did lots of walking but also lots of eating. My back suffered quite a bit unfortunately, but it didn't lessen my fun. Im hoping to get back to exercising normally this week, even if it is a bit later in the week.
Just like Cerella, I am getting back on track, and looking forward to it. I don't just want to feel better, I want my image to reflect me becoming a healthier person. :)
 
Hello Michelle, WHOO HOO!! Another Bubbly person added to the Accountability and Support Thread. I wouldn't call me bubbly though, more like the "cranky youngin" haha :doh::iagree:

Anyways waaaa everyone is going on such great trips and having lot's O' Fun, I guess that's why I gotta keep at it. I keep forgetting one of my major reason's for getting healthier, more energy. That just popped back into my head when I read your post about your friend falling asleep on the deck.

That's like me when I go to a Family dinner, or just out really, I end up finding a couch or something to rest my head against, doesn't usually matter where, or who is around, and I am out like a light. :leaving: I always do this after a big meal.

I've never been to Seattle yet..
 
Hey there Runninggirl.... Im thinking that you would LOVE Seattle *and im thinking Seattle would LOVE you!*
It is such a mixture of every type of person you could think of, so many interesting stores, and shops. I could have kept exploring through everything. This time, we focused on all of the tourist places, but next time i want to explore all of the shops. Well..i would have to go to the zoo too. Its 92 acres and you need a whole day to get through it.Wow, i cant stop babbling, think I am still excited..lol
Im looking forward to being part of Cerella's new Thread, hopefully we can all push each other. and...BTW....i dont look at you as a cranky youngin..lol ... Who Doesn't have stressful cranky moments!!!!
Ok, enough babbling for me

 
I slept in this morning (felt great) am still a little slow moving because of my back, but I did a lot of walking this weekend, so I did get some exercise in. I dont think i an do aqua fit tomorrow, so Im thinking I will at least try to swim. This back thing is driving me to drink, i tell ya!!!!
Will go see my doctor again tomorrow about it.

Lunch: Am planning on a salad..not sure what kind and such
Dinner, We are having BBQ salmon steaks, new potatoes, brusselsprouts, salad

So, I stayed fairly on track with what I wanted to eat today, but a few changes

Lunch: Salad with 6 prawns, raspberry vinaigrette, Club soda with lemon and a few bites of my friends cheese cake

Dinner: Salmon Steak, 3/4 cup rice, large salad with balsamic vinegar, 1 slice of toasted bread with 1 1/2 ounces smoked mozza

Snack: water melon

Managed to drink a lot of water today.
 
Ive packed up 1/2 of a cooked salmon steak, salad and 1 cup watermelon. I will probably grab a fruit and a latte in the morning on my way to work, then after I get through all of my morning work stuff, ill probably make an egg white omelet and possibly a piece of toast.
I am trying really hard to focus and not get easily swept away in the urges to eat uncontrollably.
 
Not so good for the fluid intake today... and I really feel it. Will try harder tomorrow.
Breakfast: bagel belt (good old Tim Hortons) Large, unsweetened iced latte
Snack: 1 cup watermelon
water
Lunch: Salad, salmon salad sandwich
Snack: banana
Dinner: baked cracker, smoked mozza, shrimp, veggies and dip (kind of an appy platter)
Diet pepsi
1 cup watermelon
 
Hey there! Long time, I know. Hope you are keeping well.

It's winter in South Africa, and I'm also struggling to get my water in... I started drinking more decaffienated/herbal teas... they count as water too... and taste better!

Hi, my name is Michelle and I am back again. Each time I embrace my journey towards self love, health and prolonged happiness *theory being, if I live longer, I'll be healthy enough to enjoy it* I stop. Stop the healthy eating habits I've started, the ambition I've found and the energy to get my butt in gear. WHY do I keep doing this to myself???? I think the little light in the end of my tunnel is that I also keep restarting over and I never entirely give up. A big part of my fear is that I don't know what thin is. There are no pictures to reflect upon of being thin, because I have been big since 2 years of age. Each time I see results, I (like many others) self sabotage and I believe my excuses for not exercising or eating poorly.
Well, I am back on WLF because I don't want to lie to myself anymore. I have made some healthy changes in my life, such as I am far more active. I am a member of weight watchers, which was working great, but I stopped going for a little bit and then was scared go back (rolling my eyes at myself) I am going to the meeting on Friday, no matter what the numbers say. I am making some good progress but I feel that being here with like minded people may just give me the extra support I need.
