Biggest loser on CF.....

[ido]

I have been trying to walk at least 3 times a week. Last night was going to be my second walk for the week, but the oldest mancub didn't want to go. So, the youngest mancub rode his bike up and down our sidewalk (2 houses past in each direction) while I would stay behind then run to catch up to him and "chase" him. He squealed with delight over Mommy trying to get him and Mommy got some decent sprints in.

Oh - and I wore another pair of pants that I haven't fit into for a while...and got hit on twice this week.

*struts her stuff*

Eurgh, I have eaten so much this weekend. There is way too much chocolate in my house,lol.

I timed myself today. 39:28 10K

that comes out to a 6 minute, 21 second per mile pace.

First, I have to address some things here. I watch the Biggest Loser to learn how to adopt a healthy lifestyle. One of the factors of weight gain is stress. You sound stressed out that you are not losing weight. Stop. You are going to make yourself sick. Just relax.

Second, you need to eat every single day, and lots. When you don't eat, your body slows your metabolism down, because it is trying to survive on the amount of calories you put into it. So if you are not eating very much, you make it harder to lose weight.

For instance, I eat three snacks and two main meals a day. I eat a lunch of a Cup of soup and a sandwich. Just before I excercise, I eat some fresh vegetables with some dip, to provide some food in my system that is easy to digest. Then I have a regular dinner, and then I eat some pop corn, which is good for fiber, or so I have been told, and then some cereal, either when I get up or before I go to bed. Does this sound like I am not eating much. Yet, I have lost over 20 pounds in 7 months.

On the weekends, I go nuts. I eat potato chips, ice cream, candy, pop and anything else I want, because those are my high calorie days. That tricks my body into metabolizing more calories on days I restrict on my food intake.

I am posting this, sister, because what I just read alarmed me, and no child of God should be living in that kind of mind-set. You are a child of God, and he made you perfectly. You just need the knowledge on how he built your temple, so you can maintain it.

You will never lose weight, if you don't eat healthy.

You sound exactly like a friend of mine.

Is it too late to join? I have lost about 50 lbs since early may! I really want to lose more!! I think doing this would help me stay focused on something! Pleease!!

 

[Tinkerbell33]

Well done Rachel!!

 

[rachey88]

Well done Rachel!!

Thanks Becky!! I didn't do most of it by choice though... I wish I could say I had. Lol.. It just started to practically melt off of me. But I think a lot of it had to do with perscriptions and depression.

I'm getting the itch to do an Ultramarathon just to be able to complete some.

Well, I suppose I need to start again. I have learned that my weight loss claims wree inaccurate. I am 5'8, now weighing 172. It was not the 162 I had found myself to be at previously, and I believe I must have unintentionally braced myself against furniture in the bathroom when that measurement was taken. Nonetheless, it does represent an 11 pound drop from last winter.

I also have a 35" waist. Both of those figures I want to reduce. I would eventually like to be at 155 lbs. with a 33 inch waist. I virtually eliminated my intake of white flour over the past four days, and have cut back substanitailly on sweets. I am obviously still being too sedentary for the moment, but tomorrow I will be signing up for the orientation session for the weight room in the gym on campus.

ran 9 miles today, it wasn't pleasant the last three miles because I wasn't as fully hydrated as I would've liked to have been. Either way, I hauled tail and made it count.

Since wrestling season started, I am getting more exercise. I walk/jog while they are doing their warm-ups. Then, I usually jump in to the live wrestling to get the bigger kids some work. It's actually kind of fun tossing them on their head as well.

I'm down 2 more lbs since the last time I posted. I haven't been able to exercise as much lately b/c of other obligations - but my schedule should be opening up more so I can get some more cardio in. I think I'm going to buy myself some rollerblades for Christmas.

 

[.Mikha'el.]

The weight room orientation I mentioned is on Monday.

 

[GuacaMolly]

I've pretty much plateaued..... weird, I thought chasing my tail at work would be all the exercise I needed.



My friend and I are planning on joining a yoga class.....I could use more zen, not to mention, flexibility in my life.

That's awesome Petrarch.

 

[GQ Chris]

ran three miles tonight, took it easy. In the morning I will be running 12 miles before all the Thanksgiving gluttony,to ensure that I don't become rolley poley (sp.?)

A long Thanksgiving morning run has been a personal Thanksgiving tradition for me every year. go big or go home.

That's awesome Petrarch.

Bah Humbug! My junior high school weight room was better equipped than the one on my university campus. All it has for cardio exercises is a treadmill.

 

[GQ Chris]

mission accomplished today;12 miles in 1 hour 21 minutes.

Bummer. It's a start at least, until you can find someplace better equipped and affordable, yes?

wow *impressed*
I joined Ballys. My friend and I are going every Mon Wed and Fri morning after our shift. She paid extra for a trainer but I've been working a long time. I know where my trouble spots are and how to get rid of them
