Accountability Mission: No Mercy and No Excuses

Its feeding time!  
Tell the whole truth and be accountable.  Are prepared for when you are away from home and HUNGRYI'm not talking appetite or head hunger.  It is legitimetly time to eat regardless of your current meal plan.  What will you eat and where will you eat it? 

-  Have a clue before you leave home. Where will you be and what is available.  Keep in mind that other peoples homes offer fewest options.   

-  Better still, carry emergency food with you and don't worry about how it looks to other people.  I did this for two years solid.  In the purse and in the car I had two to three feedings at all times.  When I'm running I still pack my just in case food.  It has repeatedly saved me from regret.  

-  Use that smart phone to pull up nutrition facts for available chain restaurants.  You'd be surprised at what foods are the better choices and what foods are not so good.  I recently discovered that double veg at Friendly's is no better than a small fries at McD's. 

An apropos cliche:  Failing to plan is planning to fail. 

...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

In my never ending saga, It has been 16 months since I gained 20 lbs in six days.  I am still bouncing within a 15 lb range in spite of eating/ exercising for a person 20 lbs lighter all this time. Frustration is far too mild a word.  

Well, I've gone back, again to my research and adopted anther plan.  Another version showed some promise once upon a time.   I've taken it further in stages overt the past week and
viola, there is a glimmer of hope.  Meal planning has become a chore and I am not thrilled with the menu.  However, If it gets me back under 140 lbs this is y new diet forever. 

I'm relying on my ketostix as an objective measure of improved metabolic activity.  For fear of becomming discouraged, my tape measure and scale are off limits for the next ten days to allow time for measurable results. 

Fingers crossed, prayers being said.    Weight loss of 15 lbs will get me back where I was; 20 lbs will bring me to ecstacy; 25 lbs will be pure nirvana. 

Fingers crossed, prayers being said.    Fingers crossed, prayers being said.    Fingers crossed, prayers being said.

I am going to walk over to subway for lunch and have a half sub and walk my fat ass home.

Hey I just discovered that that big ass cable box from comcast I have has this thing called On DEMAND, and it has a ton of tv shows and it has a exercise channel where I can do the different exercises everyday.  WHAT THE HELL......   I knew it, but I completely forgot about it and it even has all my shows on the dam thing.  LOL.

So anyway.  I hate this time of the year cause people keeps giving us our favorite foods and we keep eating them.  Becca and I are so out of control, it is like two fat chicks falling off the cliff without trying to grasp on to the ledge.   Geesz Louise.

Gonna keep working out, clean out the fridge and as soon as friday hits i'm going to Fat Smash which means i'll turn the little bit of muscle I left into fat, but it's either that or just be a fat chick with biceps.  WTF am I suppose to do.  LOL

I used to watch fitv for the workouts.  When it was dropped from my package I dropped tv period.  Without fitv it was not worth the monthly fee.  An antenna is all I need. 

Work it out girl!  I was thinking we need a good workout challenge on this board like we used to.  Throw something out there we could all do.  I was thinking 200 situps but uhm, someone is already way past ttwice that MsLee!   

You're good with this.  Ideas please?

Hi MSW and LEE!
I am in the same sinking boat!  I gained 30+ pounds with the baby.  I have 15 pounds to lose to get back to my pre-baby weight.  I am going to do Insanity again.  I asked for it for Christmas.  (I borrowed my brother's when I did it a year ago).  I did not finish the complete Insanity workout because I got pregnant.  I was not happy with my 30-day results at the time, but when I look at my pics now, I only wish I was where I was then!  LOL!  I know I will get back there...DETERMINED!!!

You know what to do.  Eat right and work it.  Insanity will burn the calories for sure. You thankfully are dealing with the "normal" weight gain  for a healthy kid.  Keep doing right and it will come off.  You are already halfway there.  Congrats on the baby.

 Well let's start with 200 sit up, even if you have to split them in the morning and evening. My belly is so freaking big from all the crap I eat I don't know how comfortable sit ups will be.  LOL.   So I will do my sit ups before my last class tonight .

Ewwwww, nasty! 

I do 100 crunches and 100 reverse crunches in four sets.  I'm going for the 200 situps.  I think at the moment I can handle it!    We're on.  This belly of mine needs it badly.

My best to all of you.  If I did half the workout you do, I would not be able to stand myself.  I can do a lot of things and will but exercise is the hardest for me.  Hope you succeed in your exercise goals.  Hope you succeed in your fat smash and your different approaches to get fit and firm.
I am doing ok right now and will do better soon.

 With  I will succeed.
