did you move today

i moved again today.. 60mins done before i went on the bus..the wii fit and i are becoming great friends.. thinking about snow shoeing into camp tomorrow if its not to cold..but i hear it is suppose to be cold..

Did ya move today??????

NOOOOO, and I'm pretty discussted with myself.  "Just do it"  says all those wonderful, supportive people.  oiyyyy, is there anyone out there who hates exercise as much as me?  how much do you hate it?  please guys, tell me some of you are like me.  Yes, I chew gum, and yes I might even have a pepsi once a week (I used to have 5 a day), and yessss, I even have drinks on weekends.  I know, your all thinking "no wonder she can't loose weight".   But, in my defense, I'm still under 1200 calories a day. and get my protein, and below 40 gr. of Carbs.  so I could be worse.  we have lurkers here that are having a hard time and are probably affraid to come out and ask for help.  affraid to get flamed or because everyone seems so perfect.  I dont' give a **** I'm here to tell you all.  I"M NOT PERFECT....!!!  so, go ahead and flame me... i'm just being honest.

I hate exercise sooo bad... I'd go a day without food to avoid it. 

It's not that I hate exercise...just always seem to have other things to do.  I'm here on my own with my two kids plus college for me. Sometimes I have good intentions but then it just doesn't work out because my kids are a priority and my school work is a priority.  I eat what I should most of the time, splurge here and there but no where near what it used to be pre op so I feel that I'm doing good.  I stay within the calorie range,  but the carb monster has crept in suddenly, need to kick it back out the door! lol.....I'm not flaming anyone because we are not perfect and we have those days when we all just want to say F*** it and do whatever.  It's ok to do that once and a while.

yup cheryl i agree with ya.. i chew gum all the time i do things i shouldnt too  thats not big deal.. i only post just to keep myself honest not to hurt anyone feeling and i sure and hell dont think im perfect far from it.. i gain 3lbs and trying to get them off.. im not judging anyone just myself.. sorry i offended u.. i did not mean too,,

no no no, i'm sorry now, I wasn't offended I was just being the old little catholic girl I grew up to be and confessed my sins.  I just want more people to admit to having bad days, and making mistakes, I feel, I screw up all the time.  I go to the Lap BAnd site and almost every 3rd post is about "confessing" bad things, and here its just me.  I TOTALLY agree, with you when i'm exercizing I want to post to help people be more motivated, and I THANK YOU.  I just want to bring out all those lurkers,  YOU DIDNT' OFFEND ME IN ANNNNYYYY WAY.  I'M SORRY I SOUNDED THAT WAY.  please forgive me, your awesome.

Hi Cheryl,

I'm a gum chewer too. I can't help myself. I have to chew it. I didn't chew gum for the first few months after surgery but that was over 2 years ago. Chewing gum helps keep me on track. I don't feel gasy chewing gum and it doesn't hurt me (that I know of, I don't swallow it) so I chew it. I don't see anything wrong with it. I still however don't use a straw, I tried and it made me so gasy, my poor pouch hurt and I'll never do it again! lol

I just had my 1st "drinks" since surgery last weekend. I had 1 drink Friday night (and didnt get sick) so I had 3 more Saturday night. I danced so much Saturday night, I know I burned off those calories, but damn it was so much fun and my legs hurt for 3 days after. I smelled like Ben Gay when I went to work on Monday lol

We all learn by trial and error. No ones perfect, if they tell you they are, they are liars!! lol

I'm sorry I don't get on as much as I'd like. But this is the greatest place I've found for support. Everyone here on the Maine board is wonderful!!!!! You are a GREAT sorce of support! We all just have to find out what works for us. We're all different. But that's what makes it exciting, it would be boring if we were all the same.

I have my "good days", where I feel great and can do anything. Then I have my "fat days" where I feel like I'm 266 pounds again and can't do a damn thing. It's all a "head" thing for me and being 2 1/2 years out from surgery you would like by now my thick head would do better, but it doesn't.

Some days are good food days for me. I try to stick to my "plan" monday through fridays, then on the weekend, if I skip meals or eat more often than I should I don't get pissed at myself. When I 1st got out of surgery I thought I had to be perfect, but no one can be. As you get to goal tho, it does get easier. I think maintaining is easier than losing, atleast it is for me. I only weigh myself every once in a while, sometimes I go months, sometimes just weeks. I use my clothes as guides to how much I can eat.

I just wanted you to know I'm not perfect either. 

~dori~

thank you all for sharing.  I also believe sharing bad things are just as important as sharing good things.  It is great to come on here and say, I lost 2, I lost 10 I lost 100 lbs.  but how about posting about ,  I can't F'n exercise, I can't stay away from chocolate, or just sharing those rough spots.  that is what I was trying to  share.  and NOT Just for me, for all those who are having a hard time and affraid to share with us.  I'll listen, I'll be honest,  "I SUCK"... at dieting.  always have.  but I'm not giving up, I get up every morning and start a new day.  I'm sorry if I insulted anyone.  please try to understand what my point was.

I am so ready for winter to be over LOL

Though I did snow shoe in the back fields the other day and I have to say I really liked it!

As far as moving today, forget it, I have been in a funk for few days it sucks! i hope to get my ass in gear

Well, I didn't meat the 1000 min challenge this month (there is no way I can do it in a week).  And yes, I hate exercise too. I hate to sweat. I hate to pant.  I hate to be in pain.  I know if I can get past it and push myself I will feel better. But oh well.

I think MamaG you are doing just fine.  You need to worry about what you are happy with and comfortable with. And lately I'm comfortable with the couch... LOL  Just kidding, but I'm sure most people (like my husband) don't think what I do is excercise, but he weighs 180 lbs, not 350.  Trust me, it might look easy but I'm sweating and panting and my hearts pounding so I know I'm TRYING.  To heck with what HE thinks.

I chew gum, and have an occassional Diet GingerAle......oh well!!  I know I feel soooo much better lighter, and yes it is in the back of my head I could put it on again if I am not careful, I am by no means perfect!!  And yes, Barb......I did run to the bathroom today, not walk.....so that counts even more!!!!hahaha
