Bootcamp, What bootcamp?

I've done 2 whole workouts this week. That's right, 2. One cardio workout on Monday morning, and I did some strength exercises yesterday afternoon. My husband did ask me this afternoon if I wanted to go for a walk and I turned him down.

I am miserably tired. I feel like all of my energy is sapped from me at work at the moment and I have nothing else to give.

The good news is I've kept to my eating plan for the most part and hopefully that will enable me to still have a weight loss this week.

If I don't step it up I won't be able to reach my goal by the end of March like I so badly want to do.

I've received a few comments at work about how nice I'm looking lately, but nothing would be sweeter than reaching my goal by my anniversary.

I know that when I am this tired it wouldn't really benefit my health to push myself to exercise; I know I need to be good to my body, but I wish that it wasn't this way.

I want so badly to be able to do it all.

Don't I just understand what you say! But hang in there. Take care of yourself. And you have enough stress at work, the remaining of your day should be calm and sweet so you will regroup. I have faith in you. You will pull this one!

Listen to your body, girly girl! If you're tired, scale back and wait until you're ready for a higher level of activity. You're doing just fine.

I can relate to the anxiety... there is a certain rush that comes along with each weight loss... the more the scale drops, the more in control you feel. Let me try to give you a word of advice... keep in mind I lost a ton of weight (literally) and put lots of it back on... here's why I think that happened...
I put so much emphasis on the scale and the compliments and the appearance that I didn't focus on the internal changes. The points were a daily tool and the results became my god. If I lost, I was holy... if I gained, I was a sinner. This time around I have vowed to focus on change... physical is good, but mental is better. What food choices do I make? What activity do I participate in that makes me healthy? If you can grasp the changes and take pride in your choices, you won't become depressed over the measurments. In the long run, you want to maintain your healthy lifestyle. Not everyone gains their weight back... but the most successful people changed their habits and let their bodies follow.
As always, you inspire me and I keep my positive thoughts directed your way!

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Double your pleasure, double your fun...

Halfway through I do switch gears and talk about weight-loss once again [begin political rant] Recently I went out with one of my aussie female friends on a night where she was meeting up with a guy she had met on one of the match websites. That night I did happen to partake in a few too many drinks due to the price of one of my favorite bottled beers being only $4 compared to $7 or even $8 in some places. The man she met happened to be very nice, and I enjoyed speaking to him, but he had a friend with him who was with a female the likes of which I refer to as "granola". You know the kind. I don't like to contribute to stereotypes, but I hope the term "granola" is not in the least offensive to any of my readers. I like; it is good with some honey and milk. Anyway to get to the point the man friend and ms. granola appeared to not like me and it became increasingly clear why. With every comment I made about anything they seem to have the exact opposite opinio...

A summary of yesterday

The day started off really well because my body had somehow managed to go back to normal and I pulled out a one kilo loss for the week. I was very pleased with that, and the girls at my weight watcher's meeting had a present for me! I was soooooo surprised. I had invited them to come out for drinks with me and was pleased that they said they would come, they didn't have to buy me a present as well. But they got me a beautiful vase. I haven't photographed it yet, but it is in the plans. Friday night mr. ralph's friend that moved to Melbourne called and said he would be flying in and could come out as well to celebrate with me. It was very nice to see him. The dinner went well, except the dish I ordered was a seafood soup which consisted of seafood floating in heavy cream; not the most weight-conscious choice, but I managed to eat the seafood and bits of potato and leave the cream behind, and it took over an hour for us to get our food from when we ordered. After d...
