Hi All!
I got my good Circuit Aerobic Workout in and really pushed myself--also did 5 sets of 80 ab exercises. On the other hand the cookies took a hit--that accounts for the brunt of the fat grams above. Will power and cookies really don't go together--haha! Eating the cookies was almost as good as the workout in a weird way.
Another day ya'll, have a good one!

Sunday 7.14
Happy Wednesday!
I made and ate a bunch (7--yikes!) of chocolate chip cookies yesterday. I wanted to keep some on hand to eat one a day if I felt like it--testing again:-) I think I can do it!
I did 54 min on the NordicTrack on Sunday--didn't do anything on Monday or yesterday--was still a little sore from weight workout on Saturday and had a little catch in my shoulder blade--should be fine to get back to it today though.
I saw a little news piece on "Night Eating Syndrome" yesterday and was trying to find an article about it. It's not the one where you wake up and eat or eat in your sleep. The gist of it was a stressful day triggers it and you end up getting most of your calories after 8 p.m. I guess to deal with the stress--well it sounded just like me. The thing is that on Friday and Saturday of last week I was able to not eat late in the evening and felt great. Want to see if I can swing 3 days in a row. Even if I mess up I'm at least armed with the information that I feel better when I "do better!"
I get the quotes from a variety of websites and a few books I have on hand. I can get quite caught up in looking for good ones:-)
Hope you all have a good exercise day!

I can't make cookies or I will totally fold until I am sick and can't move. Then I lay down and get better, and make myself sick all over again. I can actually almost smell the chocolate chip cookies talking about them.

Happy Saturday!
I'm back on track with the exercise and I feel good about that. I did my Circuit Aerobic with 15 min on the Airdyne and 45 min of weights and floor exercises--Thursday. On Friday I did 64 min on the NordicTrack with 35 min at level 1 incline. I ate the soup (2 cups) in the evening on Thursday and didn't wake up hungry or feeling bad.
Just a short entry--ya'll have a good day!
Way to go on getting back into the exercise. Makes the mind and body feel so much better. I wanted to thank you for your comments today. I was so shocked when my husband said that, I almost cried. We talked a little more about it today and I can understand where he is coming from in so points. I need to keep up with what I am doing but also start spending some time with him.
Thank you also for sharing your fitday.com information each day. I love to see what others are doing. You by the way are doing awesome!
Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Thursday!
As far as fat consumption, Tuesday was the biggie with 121 grams and only 3041 calories. Okay, so I'm back to it today--plan to do my Circuit Aerobic Workout and get my chin up off the floor--COMPLETELY!
I found and made this recipe for what has turned out to be a pretty good tasting soup. It's called "All-You-Can-Eat Soup Diet" Soup and I made it without the cauliflower and used Healthy Request canned Chicken Broth for 10 cups of the liquid portion.
Hope you are having a good food choice and exercise day--stay cool and I'll see you all later!
Thank you for sharing the soup recipe. It looks good! Will have to give it a try.
Have a great day!

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

Short Entry!
Plan to get an average of Activities, Calories, Fiber, etc. for the last week on the next entry (in lieu of showing everything for each day). I have the info--just have to get it into Fitday.
I took the day off Sunday for exercising, and Tuesday was a recovery day for an extremely stressful Monday. My food choices (when I've eaten) have been screwed up and my exercise has been only lawn work for Monday. My calorie breakdown will probably show high fat--but low cal--we'll see:-)
I lost .75 inch, .25 inch, and 1 inch in my waist, bust, and Rt leg--the rest were about the same for 2.25 inches more than last week overall.
As far as Monday, I needed to be in two places at one time--all to do with my family--I have no problem saying, "NO!" to most people including friends--they understand when life unravels every now and then, but when it comes to my family--they have this special way of making me feel (at times) like I am the biggest loser who ALMOST ALWAYS lets them down.
Of course that isn't the case. Even a stopped clock shows the correct time twice a day--the law of averages, etc. So given this "reputation," I am very hard on myself when I can't be there for them and they don't help much to soothe my pain, or change plans whenever possible.
Fortunately things totally worked out, and I want a long-term solution to take better care of myself and my bruised psyche. The changes I have made up to now are serving me well--but I would like to build on these and, I hope, see myself as happier and more fulfilled. (Ask me how many books I've been able to read from cover to cover since the first of the year--Answer: zero!) And that's my fault, my plan was to read one book per week:-)--I think--maybe it was one per month--gotta look back!
Please excuse the whinefest--I'll be back a little later for me (and for you all--got a little catching up to do)!
Hugs for ya, girlfriend!

I am a complete book worm and read about 2-3 books a week - but I am travelling a lot so get to read on trains and in hotel rooms in the evenings etc. I spend so much money on books that i can't even think about it, need to get to the library more often. I love scary and gory books - what does that say about me :-)
I wanted to thank you for sending me the information on the tummy tuck page. I have looked at some of it and this is something I really need to think about and be sure of. I will wait till I am done with all the weight loss before I do anything major!
Glad to hear things worked out with the family. Learning to say NO is a great gift! Take care and have a great day!
Take care of yourself and your psyhe

I did an excellent workout on my NordicTrack of 53 min (>30 min on the first incline) and did much better on the fat intake.
I gotta go! Hope your food and exercise day is a good one!
Noticed the fat grams intake! Awesome job!!! Your fiber is also great way to go!!
Good job on the workouts!
Take care and have a wonderful day!

I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.

Happy Friday!
I had a pretty good food day; kinda high on the fat side. I took the day off from my workout because I noticed I really benefit from one day totally off when I do the "Circuit" every other day. I was going to do a little bit, but my heart just wasn't in it.
I'm feeling grateful for all my workouts today. There are so many of us who get into a workout rut and can't seem to get out--it's happened to me and I'm hoping to avoid it for now and a few weeks. I'm glad I'm able to put as much into it as I do. My neck isn't stiff, my knee isn't giving me trouble, and I just feel good about the whole thing. I'm able to push myself a little farther every day. I would like to retain this momentum for once--I'm going for six weeks of reasonable workouts.
Hope you have a good food choice day!
Way to go on taking a day off of working out. Your right our body does need the break and so does the mind. Your 6 weeks of reasonable workouts is a great idea! Good luck!
Loved your quote for today! :)
Take care and have a awesome day!

Hope you're doing well this Independence Day!
I pooped out on my good choices yesterday--but I got in a good day of exercise. NordicTrack for 40 min and a Circuit Aerobic Workout on the Airdyne for 50 min--15 on it and 35 of weights.
There's no question--when I put in alot of exercise time I tend to eat a ton more. That's okay for a day or two (should I start including a weekly cheat?) but isn't getting me as quickly to my goal. Plus there are definitely issues of overdoing it, which undermines any semblance of this whole thing to "lifestyle change." I think I can commit--so far, so good with exercise--just gotta apply that attitude to food--don't think I'm ready;-). So much for my "brainarrhea" for the day!
Digit asked about UK vs US size 10--the best I can tell (and it was a chart for swimsuits) is that a US 10 is a UK 8, so sounds like you're right. You might check out LandsEnd.com, there's a custom sizing feature they have--I haven't used it, I think Kyrin mentioned it a while back.
Beth200, thanks for the recipe in comments to me! It sounds kinda like a recipe I've made called "American Goulash."
Gotta go . . . I'll be seeing you all later!

Awesome quote as always. 400 sit up you go ab machine. I am sure we will see a six pack in no time. Excercise gives me such a high it is a wonder why I am reluctant to get started but once I finish I feel like I can conquer the world.
