I get on the scale daily and have noticed that I take the number less seriously now...primarily because the number fluctuations are AMAZING! I can gain or lose upwards of 3 pounds OVERNIGHT (especially when PMSing so I feel your pain!). Did you know…
But I do. I wish I could have the "it's the holidays, enjoy yourself and get back on track after" attitude without the accompanying guilt. For 2 weeks now I've been struggling with overeating day after day. Today, I'm back to work after traveling fo…
Congrats! You look fantastic and I'm certain 2010 is going to be another great year for you.
Times are definitely tough, that's for sure! I'm also trying to find a balance...not as much time to work out as I'd like to put in, and lots of calorie-rich food to indulge in. I can't be perfect, but I can try to do what I can when I can. Sounds l…
I made a compromise with myself. I would eat clean this past Sunday, yesterday, today and tomorrow. Come December 24, when the celebrations with family get started, I am going to enjoy myself and not feel guilty about anything that is going in my mo…
I'm definitely really struggling everyday. I've been somewhat lax about tracking, I've missed a couple of classes at the gym, and I've been giving in to the tempting treats that seem to be EVERYWHERE! So I have to be honest and say, it will definite…
Ooh, I'm jealous of the 80 degree weather too! Enjoy the relaxing time, the good fruit, and the warm sun!
Sounds like you are getting in lots of great exercise!!! Awesome work!

I wish I didn't feel so guilty
But I do. I wish I could have the "it's the holidays, enjoy yourself and get back on track after" attitude without the accompanying guilt. For 2 weeks now I've been struggling with overeating day after day. Today, I'm back to work after traveling for 4 days. I can't even begin to tell you how much I've eaten over the last 4 days. All I know is that I feel just aweful. Bloated, puffy, sluggish, you name it. I refuse to get on the scale. It would just make me upset.
The thing is, and this might b… Continue

I'm not throwing in the towel, but......
I'm definitely really struggling everyday. I've been somewhat lax about tracking, I've missed a couple of classes at the gym, and I've been giving in to the tempting treats that seem to be EVERYWHERE! So I have to be honest and say, it will definitely be easier after the holidays. I know we're not supposed to just throw our hands up and say, "I'll start in the new year", but I have to admit, that thought is in the back of my mind.

So far so good
Today was day one of the challenging week. I did really well with not snacking at my desk. I went to Body Pump after work and I made a very, low calorie skillet for dinner. Tomorrow's the holiday pot luck at the office. My plans are to spin in the AM, make sure I don't have a morning snack (the pot luck's right at noon) and go to Tabata Training in the evening with my coworker. I'll also be sure to drink tons of water all day ( I always do, but sometimes forget when there's lots to eat). I can d… Continue

It's going to be a very challenging week
I've got my company pot luck holiday lunch on Tuesday, and now we've been invited to parties both Friday and Saturday night. Yikes! My plan is to increase my exercise because I REALLY, REALLY want to be able to enjoy yummy holiday treats. I will still try to employ tactics like having a healthy snack before I go, drink tons of water, etc., but I don't want to say no to anything that I really want to eat. My goal for the holiday season is to maintain, so I'll also need to be very careful on the d… Continue

Robyn said… - LOL...I DID in fact go to Body Pump last night! And I ran/jogged 1.5 miles before class! I was definitely pooped out when I got home! Felt SO good though! Thanks for all your encouragement! You guys are the best!

- Hey Dani! So you "like" BP 71? I HATE it! LOL It is really tough! Alot of cardio involved this time it seems! But I will continue to go, otherwise I'd never do my strength training! Plus doing it as a class pushes me much harder than if I would be out on the floor doing my "own thing" with weights! And I so agree about doing things as part of a class! There are about 6-7 of us girls that are ALWAYS at Body Pump and it gets pretty wild sometimes! All the giggling and goofing around! And if you miss a class....you'll be sure to hear about it! Another form of accountability I guess! Works for me! Have a great day hon!

- Well, I'm doing this because I've been diagnosed with Stage II Hypertension and my doctor wants me to get the weight off so I can get off the meds. This part is only for 2 weeks. If two weeks of crap makes me feel better and be healthier for the rest of my life, then I'm going to do it :)
If I had to spend two weeks in unpaid training for a job that was going to pay me $100,000.00 a year, I'd do that, too! If you ever asked someone who is pregnant, "Why go through 9 months of bloating, nausea, weight gain, (and all the other gross things that happen)?" I guarantee you they'd say, "Because the rewards are worth it."
The rewards are definitely greater than this piddly two weeks of gagginess.
