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...

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

Butterflies

As some of you may know I love butterflies. I've always liked them, but the fact that the butterfly was once a caterpillar is the most amazing things about them. Right now I feel like a butterfly that has finally been freed from its cocoon. This weekend I gave away another huge load of clothes that don't fit me anymore and I have several bags just waiting to be dropped off at the donation centre. It feels incredible to put on a pair of jeans that once fit snug and now be able to pull them off without unbuttoning them. I've been lucky over the past week in my search for smaller, fashionable clothes at my local Goodwill and Salvation Army. I've found some really good deals and even have a few designer brands, and all are size Au-10, most have even already been altered for someone as short as me, which is an added bonus. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I think there is no way I fit into a size 10 anything, let alone pants. It is surreal. I have been thinkin...
