Ok I'm getting bored of looking at all my posts about everyone being sick- So I suspect you all might be too... mind you that is if you're not too busy having a FUN weekend, being that most of you below the border are on a HOLIDAY day! hope everyone had a good weekend regardless..
Ok enough about that already too~ Apparently I'm in a rather restless mood...
I don't know if it's that I've been housebound for what seems like forever -or that I've been stuck at work the past couple of eves when I'd MUCH rather be out doing something.. ANYTHING !
Or maybe it's just that I feel like I've been away from school -so to speak as far as the whole working out / eating well thing is concerned & part of me really feels miserable about the fact that I seem to have gotten NOTHING done in ages.. & I'm tired of hearing my own "excuses" & "reasons" & I NEED & WANT to do something serious about it.
For a start- today I hit the Gym & had a great workout & so far have eaten really well..
gee whooo hooo one day...ok enough with the Sarcasm...
but seriously- I really wanna STAY on track... & MAKE some real changes-instead of just watching everyone else make changes.. yea -You Jim..& Stef & Lori just to name the few I can think of that I've seen FABULOUS pics of in the past few days! Rotters- (Love YOU!) But talk about incentive & inspiration!
I do-I really wanna stay focused & get somewhere!
Will you guys help me do that?? ..please?

We're here for you and we know you can do it. You know what to do, so get going. Did you make it to the gym today? How was your eating?
WATER WATER WATER WATER WATER
Thanks for the "rally words" I really appreciate it!
& YES I did hit the gym...cardio day & LOTS of it :D
Did a 20 on the bike then a 21 minute HIIT on the cross trainer & then 20 more just for good measure!
& lots of water too! ..Day 2 down ! Just off to eat a great Salmon curry & brown rice :D
Salmon curry sounds yummy! I had fish-in-a-pouch again.
YOU CAN DO IT!
Supreme Effort.
I need a rally, too.
Like JunoJen says, "No Excuses. Period."
So how was today's workout? Eating?
You can do this!
I'm with you, Pam. Let's just bust a move, darnit. Less talk, more action, right? We KNOW what needs to be done - Let's DO IT!
Hope you're doing great!
xo, Rachel
I had this conversation with my boyfriend a little over a month ago and he said the same as Kim. JUST DO IT!
He also told me to stop being so hard on myself when I would slip up because it would make me spiral out of control!
I can guarantee that MOST people doing body-for-life do it 80% of the time. The most important thing for keeping strong is working out. The most important thing for slimming down is the eating. Combine the two and you can be powerful and slimmer!
Every day I talk myself into my workouts. I remind myself where I was and where I want to be and try not to compare myself to others because their goals are different. I don't want to compete and I don't even want to be skinny. I want people to see my muscles when I'm wearing a t-shirt and go, "DAM!". So, the scale doesn't mean a lot to me. It's about how I feel when I look in the mirror. I also remind myself of the guilt I feel when I miss a workout. And, lastly, although this sounds silly, I think about a cartoon I saw recently. The doctor says to the patient, "What fits your busy schedule better, exercising one hour a day or being dead 24 hours a day?"
I WANT TO LIVE DAMMIT!!! And be healthy and strong while doing it!
So, little babysteps at a time I am moving forward. I don't think about the competition or anything like that. I just want to be able to ride my mountain bike for longer than 15 minutes on the trails!
Oh yes and buying some dumbbells and getting a weight bench literally changed my life. There were no more excuses. The dumbbells were about 50 cents/lb at fitness depot. I also bought a step so when there are no aerobic machines available I do some funky stuff with that. Now, when I have th energy (which tends to come in waves), I get a workout in. AND I have a small apartment (735 square feet with a teenager and a boyfriend!) so space shouldn't be an excuse.
Okay, as usual, I took up more space than I should.
Enjoy the sunshine!!
