Yarm's No More Excuses!

Wednesday 4/9/08

I was sleeping so hard when the alarm went off, I bolted out of bed when it sounded. But even tho I was that tired, I got my exercise gear on and did a HARD 35 minutes on the NT. After watching Biggest Loser last night and seeing the transformation of those people, especially Ali, it made me wanna wish I too could see that kind of transformation.

Didn't they do great on Biggest Loser? That was my motivation today as well. If she can do it at 150.. I can do it at 160 right?? keep up the good work!!
 
Even if you don't watch the show all the time.. The finale is coming on Tuesday. You guys have to watch it to see the transformations.. It is so inspiring!! Most of them have lost over 100 lbs in 15 weeks and they are picking the winner on Tuesday night. It comes on NBC from 8-10 pm here in georgia

Friday 4/11/08

Got to bed late last night because sister Kelley called me, feeling down about missing Mom & Dad. We both cried off and on to each other for about half hour. I woke up remembering a dream with my Mom, which is good, but it made me cry again. I got on the NT for 35 min and the first 10 or so was tuff as I kept thinking about that dream, but I pushed my self even harder.

I am assuming you ahve suffered a great loss and I am so very sorry. All the more credit to you for taking control of this part of your life during such atough time. My thought goes to you
 
You are correct, mom2. It has been a rough time the past months. I joined the forum in august and was doing great, then Dad diagnosed with cancer in october and died 2 days after thanksgiving. Then the holidays came and went, and I was just back on track for about 2 weeks, then my Mom had a massive stroke and she too has died.

I am fortunate to have such a large and loving family. With their support and my determination, I am trying once again, to get back on track- Mom and Dad would want it so.

Got up earlier than I had to: thought I had 9am mass, but actually was to be 10:30. So after mass, took the girls to sunday school, and then back to church again for mass w/choir. Stopped at walmart to pick up a few things, and about to head out to inlaws for birthday thing. It's very hard to stay on track there . . they ALL eat way too much. So much food, portions out of whack and constant grazing. This is my last day before weigh in tomorrow . . I am NOT gonna mess it up!

Wow! I'm so proud of myself! I kept it under control at the party, and stayed within my calorie range. In addition, I got all of my water in both days over the weekend. I had to buy another water bottle as I left my other one at my cousins house when helping him move.

:hurray:
 
Monday 4/14/08

I'm a bit puzzled this morning. I'm up the same .06lbs I lost last week. I did 3 sessions of cardio, 2 strength training sessions and consumed under 1400 calories everyday. I won't let it get me down tho=- I remember a few weeks shortly after I joined the forums where I was slightly up and slightly down for a couple of weeks, before I was steadily and consistantly losing 1lb+ a week.

I will take the time this week to "remeasure" my portions. My estimates likely have grown up in size and weight. I will also be increasing my cardio- week 2 of the challenge is to add additional 45 minutes for the week anyway.

It's jsut after 10am- I just got of the NT after a 45 min session - I'll show that scale where to go!

Hmmm . . . I see where there is a problem: that popcorn is really a killer. I need to limit my intake both in frequency and quantity.

Yarmiah-very sorry to hear about your parents, how devastating. I am glad you have a supportive family.

WOW, you did such a great job keeping food in control in 2 difficult situations this weekend, kudos to you! PS HOW do you know you gained 0.06? wow, that small! Keep up the good work, it will pay off.
 
Stupid scale!

I stepped on it at 7am and it said 175 (+.o6 from last week) and then after I ate breakfast and worked out for 45 mon the NT it said 174.2, a .08 difference . . . *shrug*
 
Yeah i dont trust the scale.. I will weigh in the morning and be 158 and then at lunch it will say 165 then at dinner 161..I actually have no idea what my true weight is. Do you happen to know when the best time of day to weigh is for an accurate reading? I like the 158 personally! lol Good job on upping your cardio time. I bet if you do that all week you will have a good loss!

You should always weigh in the am for the most consistent measurement, before doing anything except using the bathroom :smilielol5:. You will be the lightest then so while that may not be the weight you have all throughout the day (that weight can vary 3-6lbs at any time) it will be consistent and dependable. Generally, we weigh more after excercising.
