Ughhh...woke up sick this morning. I splurged on breakfast (don't ask lol) cause I was upset and feeling sorry for myself. I have a digestive disorder that causes me to randomly get sick after eating, and I got sick after breakfast, so...all that bad food didn't really count lol.

I just had a bowl of cereal for my "2nd" breakfast.

I don't plan on working out today. It seems like, every time I start a new exercise program, I get sick.

Maybe you expect too much too fast from your body when starting a new routine. Try making small changes - both in your diet and in your exercise habits, then as your body adjusts you can make more changes to stay just ahead of what your body considers "normal" without putting so much demand on it that it rebels.

Noooo, don't give me an excuse to lapse!!!! lol

Maybe you're right, though. I went from basically zero exercise to an hour a day. Hmph. Well. When I'm better, I will take it easier...promise!

Hope4today did it in increments and she has been quite successful in steadily improving all around.

I would think someone as tenacious as you wouldn't give up so easily.

 

[Inkachu]

I never give up, but I do get lazy...I have to push myself hard to keep at it.

Had another bowl of cereal a while ago. Having some chicken soup now.

Yesterday's exercise included 40 minutes of strength training, 30 minutes of walking, and 30 minutes swimming.

So far today I have had applesauce, lowfat cottage cheese, rice cakes, and a lean cuisine.

ETA: Finished up the day with a fries from McDonalds (that's it, though... Mom brought home french fries and hamburgers and I refused to eat a burger). When I got hungry later that night I ate a couple more rice cakes.

I walked/ran about 45 minutes tonight. Probably about 15 minutes running, 30 walking. I'm breathing a lot easier now, which helps! I'm going again in the morning.

Here's my new, fool proof plan: I'm going to aim to run AND do strength training for at least 30 minutes each every day.....I figure I'll get each in about 3x a week that way.

Go Molly!

Go Molly!

Thanks!

Ooh, I've also lost another pound. I think I've lost all the weight I'm going to lose by changing my diet alone, which is why I'm really determined to add in the cardio.

How're you doing on that last 5 pounds? How much time do you have left again?

Have you tried the good ole' alter your caloric intake to throw off your body method? Like one day take in 1200 calories, next 1800, next 1400 next 1600 next 1200? It's worked for me when I plateued. But you are right, it's much better to do some kind of excercise with diet for maximum results.

Dude, I'm seriously considering Weight Watchers meetings.

Opinions?

 

[scraparcs]

I've heard good things but can't say as I haven't done them myself.

Also, got any more room in this here thread?

I vote we start posting progress pics to serve as 'benchmarks' to keep ourselves accountable to.

I can say from personal experience that when a whole bunch've people have seen me at a new 'best,' it serves as a powerful incentive to keep working and not indulge in thoughts of letting myself slip...for fear of letting them down.


What do you guys think?

 

[Tink]

Lel, of course there is room.

Rob, it would be the same thing every time I posted a picture because I haven't lost any weight. lol.

 

[scraparcs]

Oh my. A photo of me? Ummm...errr....uhhh....that would help huh?

I've been stuck and not losing any weight, so I'm doing a cleansing diet this week - basically consuming a LOT of liquids and raw veggies/fruits. I have until the 31...so 10 days to lose 5lbs. I can TOTALLY do this!

I have been so busy at work I haven't been able to get any cardio in and it's too hot to do anything outdoors when I get home with the boys. I will have 5 weeks this summer to hit the gym 3-4 times a week. I'm hoping to shed more pounds then.

I think it's awesome that you've done so well so far! How much have you lost so far and how much do you want to lose in total?
