Fitness Fridays Health Club #1 - Grand Opening!

[finn's mom]

wow, buckner, i wish i knew what to say. i'm glad you came here, though, there's a lot of support for you here!


I did good today...I ate a good breakfast, a good lunch, and, I plan to do the same with dinner. I've eaten something small between breakfast and lunch, and, i'm about to eat something else here in the next hour or so. i try to eat six small meals a day, i tend to better that way. and, i worked out! yay! i feel sweaty and a little sore, but, it feels great!

[Toby's my baby]

Great job Kari!!

I'm sorry Sara, I dont know what to say either. Like Kari said, I'm glad you came here, we all care about you.

I figured out something for myself today. I keep filling an empty mountain dew can with water! It sounds stupid, I know, but, when ever I go to the fridge for something to drink, and I see my open "mountain dew" I drink that!

I can't wait till the temperature drops later, so I can go exercise. Its 90 degrees, and VERY humid right now

Sara: I am really sorry that you are having such a difficult time. Give the meds a chance. I can hardly believe that your doc would put you on a med for depression that would make you suicidial though. Seems to defeat the purpose . . . that just confuses me. Looks like an "anti-depressant" would do the trick . . . what did they put you on? Anyway, I really wish I could help more . . . I feel helpless. You know how to get in touch with me if you need me. Hang in there hon!

[Almita]

Aww i'm so sorry Sara that you are having a difficult time

Good Job Kari and nice Beth with the mountain dew water haha

today i rode my bicycle for 2 miles then later on the day i went for my 2 mile jog.


I have also been drinking a lot of water latley, but i still have a craving for coke and root beer.

[carole]

well I have come to confess my sins, i too fell off the wagon for two days, I am really annoyed at myself, i had four good days and now two bad ones, and yes it will affect my weight loss, there just won't be any, never mind i am almost back on track now, it was just temptation, my daughter's friends mother made some home-made chocolate chip cookies and peanut brownies, both my favourite and i was only going to have one, that was bad enough, one ended up being four, and well you all know the rest, it just went on from there, my mind always says well once you have blown it you better make the most of it.

Oh well I am back with it again, and hoping to not do this again in a hurry, but i Cannot say confidently i won't be nawtee again.

I don't think any of us can say we won't be naughty again. But one bad day won't hurt you in the long run. It's when you make a constant habit of having one bad day after the next....


I talked to my mom about my weight not being able to give because of my schedule - she told me to quit working. Seriously. She said she doesn't care if I work this summer; if it's the money I want, she'll give it to me. She said it's not worth gaining all this stupid weight back. But, I said I'm gonna give it a few more weeks and see what happens. Try a whole new idea - not eating when I get home from the second job. I'm going to see where that leads me.

[christa]

Sara: If that means you're going to go to bed starving, BAD IDEA!


I am worn out . . . I did a serious back workout with hubby yesterday and then rolled a paint roller all day today, LOL . . . my lats are killing me!!!

Time for a shower & some relaxing!!!

Hubby made the best salad last night!!! Love it when he does stuff like that . . . then I don't have to cook as much. It's a BIG salad. Probably will last for a week!!!

[Rachel]

Speaking of salads, I mentioned that I eat a lot of them but I get sick of them after awhile. Strangest thing though is I seem to do better on the days I DO eat them. My point being that sometimes what you do eat is as important as what you don't eat. Of course that is obvious for health and nutrition, but I'm speaking of weight control here.

Buckner, I am that last person to offer you advice after what you have achieved and I haven't, but here I go anyway. I think Vermontcat's suggestion of eating your main meal in the middle of the day and a good salad for your evening meal might be worth a try.

[Vermontcat]

Buckner, I think you would do better to eat at least a little something after your second job, maybe just a banana or a light yogurt before you go to sleep.
If you have to quit your job, maybe quitting the 2nd one would be better so then you could at least eat dinner at a more reasonable hour.

I am just wiped out today, yesterday I spent all day out in the hot sun at a horse show that my daughter was in. I love horses and spending the whole day surrounded by horses is something I just love to do. I just wish there was more shade around the riding rings, I have a bit of a sunburn today.
Toby's my baby, when are you doing your next horse show? Has your finger been feeling better? I know what you mean about horseback riding being real exercise, I rode last Sunday and my legs were sore for the next two days! You probably ride every day since you have your own horse. I hadn't ridden since last October but now that it's summer I hope to ride once a week when my daughter has her riding lesson.

Christa, it looks like the first week of Fitness Fridays is coming to an end.
I guess you will be starting a new thread for week 2 tomorrow, will you be putting a link to this thread in it?

[carole]

Well two days kinda stretched to four days off track, but I am pleased to say I am back on track again, but i really do need to stay there, I have been doing this all winter, and whereas my weight gain is only 2kgs this winter instead of putting the whole lot back on and then some, i still want to loose more and be at goal for the coming summer.

So wish me luck folks, i need it believe me, and I hope everyone has a good week,as I sure intend to.,with hopefully some results to report in.

Yes, tomorrow will start a new Fitness Friday! Week TWO!!! I think that a link is a great idea! I hadn't thought to do that.

[carole]

Well i am still on track on day two, I am really looking forward to my weight watchers chips tonight though, only two points and i get a whole 14 of them Yahoo,mind you being at the dentist today i wonder whether i will beable to chomp on them at all lol.,Oh well all good for the weight loss i suppose.

[Muddy4paws]

Right I'm joining up!!

Probably the worse thing to give up will be fizzy drinks - I've tried at least twice! and failed both times but I'm definatly determind and hopefully this will last a long time! I got a goal to get to and hopefully Pt'ers can help too
