To day is the DAY!

Hello hope everyone had a great weekend. I went to a camp for the weekend and with that brings naughty food and beer. I did workout hard on Fri and went snowshoeing on Sat. Got a friend to try and now she is going to buy a set. So now when my husband can't go she can. Sunday I did nothing but eat it feels like. No snacking much just bad meals until I got home.
So now that it is Monday I need to get at it. I hate the thought that I let myself go for the weekend. I feel like all my work went down the drain. It is very hard to be around all of the foods that I love are around me. So I will come up with a new plan before we head back up to camp. (Camp is on a lake in the woods of Maine.) Sunday it was snowing so we really did not get a chance to snowshoe across the lake to ice fish. So that is why although not a good excuse for not shoeing on Sunday. Like I said before I will have a better plan for the next time I go. Hope everyone have a great week. Tina
 
I had a really good workout today. I did my 40 min of treadmill and arc trainer then I lifted weights. I feel like I am doing well bumping up when I feel I the need. I wonder if I am doing enough I don't feel real sore. I know whatever I am doing is better than not doing it at all. I am going to search for guidlines and see what I can find. If anyone has suggestions let me know. Thanks Tina
 
I had another great day at the gym. This week seems so much better than last week for some reason. I now am looking forward to tomorrow! Wow never thought I would say that. Tina
 
Well it has been a great week. I have worked hard all week until today. I was very busy and could not make it to the gym. I plan on going first thing in the morning. And we are not going out to camp this weekend so no food temptations will I have. yippee! Hope every one has had a great week. Tina
 
Hi Tina

I am also thinking of taking gym membership in February.

I see you are keeping on - you are such an inspiration.

Cheers.
 
Hello good to hear from you! I hope you are doing well and really think about a membership. It has helped me keep my stress level low. It is great it is the best hour I spend on myself each day. There are days I can't make it and I feel bad. I have come to enjoy it very much. Keep of keeping on Hope you have a great week. Tina:grouphug:
 
Hello all
I wanted to write a little about my week. I have done really well this week I have pushed myself with lifting and bumping up the amount when needed to. I do about 40 min of cardio each day. I try to push myself to run harder and increase my calories burned and the distance. But I find that I have not been able to really see much difference so far. I feel like I am pushing myself but don't seem to see it getting any easier. That is on the treadmill now on the arc trainer that is different.

On the arc trainer I started at level 2 and now I am able to do level 6. So that really make me happy. But I have been keeping track of my progress. It is the best thing i started doing because you may feel like you had a bad day but when you look back no you have the same day you had yesterday. And that makes you feel good. Having the same day is better than having a lesser day. But anyway I hope everyone has a great weekend. Tina:waving:
 
Hi Tina, take courage, TODAY IS THE DAY. The past is in the past, you can only affect TODAY.

You have been here before and you have overcome - this is only a little hump, you will get back on track and all your momentum back

Cheers
 
You are so right. The past is in the past. Today I was back in the gym and I really pushed myself I feel. I increased all of my weights by 5 lbs and most by 10 lbs. So I will really feel it tomorrow but now I feel great. I must say it really does feel good to hurt from a good workout. So back at it tomorrow to feel the burn lol Take care Tina
 
Hey Tina, that is great. Wow you are really breaking a sweat there!

I also started walking yesterday and so far so good.

Lets take it one day at a time, we can do this thing.

See ya:seeya:
 
Thank you MissJellyBelly. You know it is funny how you can become to love something you never even liked before. I enjoy the weights and pushing myself.
Like this weekend we went ice fishing and there was a good amount of snow on the pond. Well, it was about 1/2 mile out from the cabin where the guys were fishing so we started walking with snowshoes toward them. Easy going due to the fact that they had made a path with the snowmobiles. So I made it all the way out there and decided I needed to go to the woods. Well, keep in mind that we were maybe 75 yards from the woods. So I started walking in the snow that had not snowmobile path (about 16 inches of snow and an inch of ice). It was very hard going and everyone said just stop there and go(had to empty my bladder). Well, I thought about it for a second and said no way will I stop now. That is how I got overweight in the first place by not pushing myself. So I made it to the woods heart a racing and wouldn't you know it I did not have to go anymore. ha ha well not at first.
My point is if I don't push myself everyday to do more work harder I will stay the same and see now results. There are days you just can't push yourself but on the days you do push even harder.

So this weekend was good for the shoeing not so much for the eating and drinking. I still want to be apart of the crowd not the one who can't enjoy the foods that other people can. I always allow myself a little of those foods so I don't feel deprived. I will work it all out I have to or I will be the same forever overweight and unhappy.

Boy I have run on today sorry guys. My plan is to go snowshoeing today I think it is going to be pretty warm. Talk more later. Have a great week everyone. Tina:hurray:
 
Hey Tina! Great stuff, keep on pushing yourself and working harder, I bet your body loves you more now.
 
Well I made it thru the weekend and was able to exercise both days. I did much better this weekend than I did the last. I hate not being able to eat the same things as my friends. But I am getting better at it. I did drink more than I should have it is so hard living in the Northeast in the winter. Can't use it for an excuse forever. Talk more later. Tina
 
I don't have too much to say today. I was sick last week and only got to workout once. It really sucks because I feel that this week I have to start all over again. But I will get back on that horse so to speak. Tina
 
I am having a hard time this week as well as last week. I am sick and have no desire to go and work out. I know I should but my whole body hurts. So as soon as I feel better I will hit it hard again. Tina

I'm sure you'll be alright, once you start feeling better. Nobody feels like doing anything when they're sick, especially when it comes to working out. Your body is tired, your heads hurt...oooh, the humanity!

Good luck.
 
Thanks you are right but man you feel like you have lost the battle. I feel like I am starting all over again 20lbs heavier. I know that is not true but I think you know what I mean. I will get over this attitude and get right back at it. We got over a foot of snow last night and it is still snowing now so don't know if I will make it out today. I love the snow but man that is allot at one time. Talk more later. Tina
