What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?

Hello my lovelies,     to all of you celebrating the joys of MotherHood.  I hope that you have a wonderful weekend and that you all get a healthy breakfast in bed.  Either that or at least a few minutes of rest and relaxation in your honor.

HI Mary!

Yesterday proud:  no booze! No dessert at all.

My week's proud was no diet soda most days; the one day I had one I drank half. I'm curious to see if not drinking as much will do anything.

Neecee,  .

Good idea to get off of the diet soda.  Jillian Michaels says that they lead to metabolic syndrome and don't even get her started on the fact that they are an anti nutrient.  I'm sure if nothing else you'll feel better from not being bloated.

Good luck,

Mary 

I did nothing yesterday to be particularly proud of but nothing I regret either....just an avg day.
This morning is my "free day" and my weigh in day.
I woke up, washed up , jumped into my shorts and got on the treadmill....as I was walking I realized - HEY, today is my free day I don't have to do this.
I continued and did my full walk/run routine.  I'm proud of that

BUT, since I had drank my protein, and 3 cups of water I decided to hold off weighing myself until tomorrow.... I had a so-so avg week so I hope I don't show a gain this week.  Just staying the same will be ok this week.....I'll do better next week.

Well if I had a day off and did alla that exercise in spite of masself, I'd be damned PROUD! 

I'm not exactly proud of the fact that I have to practically beat my own arse to get me to workout...but once I get started, I really get into it.  Maybe one day I'll work my way up to your kind of enthusiasm...one day!

Mary

OH trust me......I still have to push myself EVERY day to do my workout.  I just do not naturally enjoy working out.  BUT as you said, once I get going I find I want to do the whole thing.

I just did my first Pilate's workout and man did I feel it in the butt and thighs (especially the inner thigh).  I'll try the upper Pilate's next time.  I have to be careful with the arms because I just had an arm lift 6 weeks ago and everything is still healing and sore.  but no more excuses...I have to do it.

Just be careful how much lifting and stretching you do with until your incisions are about three months old.  They may look good on the outside but they are still healing on the inside and I've seen ladies on the PS Board widen their incisions and thicken them from doing too much too soon. 

How are you arms feeling?

Mary 

I have stuck with my healthy lifestyle since I started on April 12th and as of today I have lost 17 pounds I'm very proud of that.  Today I done 45 mins this morning exercise and will do another 90 mins later this evening.  I go to curves 5 days a week then also work out generally another 60 - 90 mins a day I'm hoping all this plus the healthy eating is enough to loose the weight I want to once and for all.

Wow, 17 pounds in less than a month is amazing! What kind of a plan are you on?

Keep up the great workout ethic but don't forget to rest your muscles every once in a while.

Good job,

Mary 

Aww Mary. I don't know if I can think of any prouds for the last several days. My food intake is rediculous. I'm so stressed right now, and I'm not sure when things will get better. I havn't been able to make it to classes all week, between being knocked on my butt by this head/chest cold and dealing with my car and issues surrounding that, I just want to crawl in a hole and die. Well maybe not die, but stay there untill everything is magically better. I have been walking alot, back and forth to the bus stops that are blocks away. But I think I'm doing too much too fast (not like I have a choice to slow down)  My lower back and knees have been killing me, and once I sit down after walking for awhile, everything stiffens up and I can hardly get back up.

I'm whinning. I'm sorry for that, I'm just really frustrated and stressed right now, and I'm not sure how to resist the only thing that has always been there to comfort me in times like this...food.
