*Tiffany*'s Diary

I've been out of twon all weekend. Man, it is so stinking hard to eat healthfully when you are out. Especially when you have to eat out in back-woods America. EVERYTHING is fried EVERYWHERE. I was able to find some things that were the lesser of the evils, but definately nothing I would choose to eat at home. Over half of our country is obese and we continue to serve up tubs of lard for meals at our restaurants. FRUSTRATING! Luckily I did not put on any weight this weeked. I stayed at 204.

I am glad to be back home and once school starts, traveling will become rare so that will help.
 
Thanks for stopping by my journal, I appreciate the effort.
I've just recently started showing my eldest daughter(3 years old this coming october) how to jump rope. It's been a load of laughs. It's so much fun watching them learn how to do new things, and even more fun when they get to do it with Mommy(though I'm sure some of the laughs I had were from tripping myself with the jump rope.:blush5:).
 
Yeah, tripping on the rope myself always provides a few laughs.


Last week was a bust. I am glad Monday is here. School has started and my oldest is now in kindergarten. I will be hanging aound the house a lot more than I have been so the diet and exercise should be much more stable and consistent. I am glad for the forced stability.

I did play about 5 hours on our 100 ft. slip-n-slide over the last two days. It was a blast and my muscles are so stinking sore that I am struggling to make the simplest movements. haha My running muscles are not sore really, but there are obviously a ton of tricky muscles that my running just does not touch. OUCH....It feels great! I need to find some more forms of exercise that are as fun as a slip-n-slide. Like I said, I did it for hours and never really thought of it as exercise. That's the way to go.
 
I am so frustrated. My life and regular schedule got pretty disrupted and my diet and exercise just seemed to fall by the wayside. You know what that tells me, that my changes were not really a lifestyle change yet. I have not stopped brushing my teeth...that is something that I naturally do everyday. SO WHY do I slack on diet and exercise??? It SHOULD be something that I do naturally everyday. ICK. I am frustrated...and my middle is softer than it has been in ages. I HATE it!
 
I'm sorry you're having a rough time of it. Ruined schedules and routines make it hard to stick with a workout plan.

to be fair, it takes a bit more time(or at least it should :) ) to workout than it does to brush your teeth. But oh wouldn't it be great if you could cram a great workout into the spare 5 minutes you have in-between running around? It sure would make life a lot easier!

Hope you get back into the swing of things. :seeya:
 
It sure would make things a lot easier..you are right. I am feeling much better today and have a new will and drive.

I have six months until my two year weight-loss anniversary. I would love to be at least 30 more pounds down by then. Well, if I am telling the truth I would love to be DONE by then! Like the saying goes: The next six months are going to pass anyway, I might as well be losing weight.

I started the "Slim in 6" DVD a couple days ago. Now, I don't go in for all the supplements and such and the DVD is even a loaner (I would never pay $80 for a workout DVD), but I have to give the workout a thumbs up. Holy smokes are my legs sore!! It is pretty basic stuff, but I like to have a "guide".

Anyways, it is nice to be feeling the motivation again...it seems to come and go so quickly these days.
 
Still here. Still here. Still here.

Tomorrow is a run day for me. My husband want me to begin training for the 5K that is coming up here in a couple months. I think that would be super since I have been running for about a year and still have not done an official 5K.

AND-- Tomorrow is the season premier of Biggest Loser. You can love it or you can hate it, but either way...I am going to be watching!

That is aesome about the 5k:) and I am excited about biggest loser!I have been lacking motivation as well lol...but I have convinsed one of my friends to go to boot camp with me once a week andif we can handle it we will go twice but I think she is gonna hate me!LOL
 
Wow. Sometimes I do not realize how long it has been since I last was here.

Cerella, did you end up doing the bootcamp thing with your friend? Here's hoping you did and are loving it!

I FINALLY found a friend here in town who is willing to work out with me on a consistent basis. She can only do it EARLY in the morning, so I am up getting ready at 5:30. Maybe that is not a big deal for some of you, BUT I am NOT a morning person! Oh well, I am really enjoying it and it has allowed me to fit in two workouts a day which seems to be helping...plus I get to help a friend. She has been wanting to lose weight for a long time, but no one was willing to get up early with her. I swear if it were not for her, I WOULD NOT get up that early. Just knowing she is going to be knowcking at my door motivated me to get out of bed.

Anyways, I will try to make around to diaries by the end of this week. Have a great day, all.
 
I've never been a morning person, so good job getting up so early to workout with your friend. Glad you were able to find someone to do that with.
Take care!
 
Hey you,


It`s great that you found someone to work out with!!! 5 : 30 is super early, but do you find that you are more energized for the rest of the day......?
