Exercise: 40 min bike ride w/kids; Weight training: NONE; Calories: 2100
Yes, Donkey finally got off her fat donkey and got some exercise, can you believe it??!! We had storms this morning that kept me up half the night, so no chance of me getting up early for a jog or a walk. Since my son fouled up the settings on the tv downstairs that the kids watch, there was no tv today for them. So I decided we would all go on a bike ride instead.
Good thing we went when we did, because as we were coming home, even with the breeze that comes from riding a bike, it was already starting to get hot and humid and sticky and icky.
The best news is that I got my car back!!! So I am going to the gym tomorrow that is for sure!!! (Now watch the gym be closed due to flooding or an electrical outage or something. That's what you call Donkey Luck, friends.)
I am sure by now that my weight is back up to 136 or worse. I do not know if I will start up with weight training too, right away, or just focus on cardio or what to do. I will think about this tonight and see how it goes tomorrow.
Progress as of today: 9.5 lbs lost so far, only 9.5 lbs to go!
Exercise: NONE; Weight training: NONE; Calories: 1650.
So now that it has stopped raining, it is completely hot and humid outside. Miserable, but I'll be durned if I'm turning that AC on again.
I will not get my car back until tomorrow afternoon, after Husband is done with work. So probably no gym for me tomorrow. Funny thing, now that I'm not exercising, I'm getting all these aches and pains in my hamstring (left) and in my knee (right). And this is without doing anything!
I miss the gym. Even that kinda-creepy guy at the front desk that calls me by my full name.

i think i can go observe really soon....i plan to go next week if possible to observe radiology...I'm calling up again later today.
i changed my mind on nursing because i think that radiology is a less-stressful job and, for some reason, my mom supports it 100% more than nursing. also, i see that if i work many hours, i could potentially make more money than teaching in the long run. of course, i'll need experience first. also, it would be more hours than teaching...i wouldn't be off in the summer, for example. also, i like that it's a two year educational program...and that all the schools are close by...and not very expensive. under 10,000 dollars for the two years...which really isn't bad.
you may be getting aches due to not moving around...this happens to be frequently when i take a few days off. I will start to feel tight due to lack of muscle movement!!! yuck. and, there is the opposite effect...when i start to exercise mutliple times per day, i start to feel extra flexible...which i love!

EVENING EDIT: I'm taking my car in to get fixed. I'm really nervous about doing this, for some reason. Hence the high calorie intake. Damn, I can kiss that 134.5 good-bye. :-(
Yesterday I found out that the transmission in my car is dying. I can no longer get the car into gear without playing with the clutch pedal (I have a stick-shift, so if you drive an automatic, this may seem very strange to you). I did not think it safe to go to the gym this morning with an unreliable vehicle. So even though I am feeling great now, I still cannot make it to the gym. I am taking the car to the shop this evening and will be without a vehicle tomorrow.
I fought off a binge all day yesterday until nighttime. It wasn't so bad but I'm sure I ruined my great weigh-in of 134.5 on Sunday morning. I knew I wouldn't chance it at the gym this morning and was frustrated from that.
I will do better today. Hopefully I can stay at 134.5. I'm tired of being stuck at 136.

i know what you mean by letting the stress get to you! next time, i suggest trying to read a good book...maybe meditating. just try to get the though of food out. or, go over to your husband and talk/be with him.
Exercise: NONE; Weight training: NONE; Calories: 1450 (if I eat everything I said I would eat)
Not much happening here today. Cool and rainy outside, still sick, although each day is a little better than the day before. Not much of an appetite today. This will backfire on me if I don't eat more tomorrow. But I don't want to eat too much tomorrow because I want to weigh in on Monday. Well, why don't I just weigh in tomorrow morning instead? Maybe I will do that.
Progress as of today: 8 lbs lost so far, only 11 lbs to go!
FRIDAY's Exercise: NONE; Weight Training: NONE; Calories 1890 (top end of my range)
I should be over this cold by Monday. I am really looking forward to giving it 100% when I get back into the gym. We're getting ready for the kids to go back to school. I'll be completely honest here and say that I am really anxious for my son to have a positive school experience this year. He's a great kid; I hope he can find his place in class. Luckily, he has one of the smaller classes (only 21 kids, as opposed to 26), and his teacher sounds very organized!
The heat and humidity have gone away for a while, so I am much relieved. I think turning off the AC helped my cold go away. Yuck.

I hope your son has a much, much better year this year.
I can't believe I forgot to log in yesterday!!!
THURSDAY's exercise: 65 minutes crosstrainer (hill program); weight training: NONE; calories: 1650
I don't know if I will get to the gym today. I missed my morning workout because I woke up late. And I doubt I'll get to the gym this afternoon, but I might. I'm still coughing and so tired, but I think the fatigue is just an excuse.

Slept in again because of my sinus infection. I'm sick, yet I have to drive around a couple of ungrateful kids and manage the entire household because my Husband is working 12 hour days. Do you think he could manage to throw away his own beer bottle cap for me? Or do I have to do that too?
I think Donkey is going to the gym tomorrow morning no matter what.

i know that's not all you meant, though. It's totally mentally and physically sick what i've been doing. I feel as if it's all catching up on me lately. the bad eating helped to bring on some acne. then, the left side of my body is weak from injury. LOL. i don't mean to complain to you...at all. sorry if i am.
it is good that you are resting...because when you are fully recovered you will have a better workout. these are things i'm constantly overlooking...i wish i could take my own advice sometimes!!
we are so hard on oursevles!
feel better, donkey!

Today I was too sick to do much of anything, including commenting on your diaries. So I hope to be in better form tomorrow.

i had a good day. I think i sound like a manic depressive here! It's either really good...or really bad! haha.
your calories aren't terribe for a day of rest. i hope that you are able to get moving soon.

Exercise: 65 minutes crosstrainer (interval) + 45 minutes mowing the lawn; Weight training: NONE; Calories: 1550.
I am sick. This sinus infection has moved down into my chest and yet is still in my head, so not only am I coughing (very annoying) but I still have a stuffy nose/head. This is not fun.
Hence, I have decided not to do any weight training until my cold has passed. This is so I preserve all my energy for cardio and daily activities. I felt so tired doing cardio today, and mowing the lawn was a HUGE mistake -- really wiped me out. But don't try to talk me out of doing cardio. I would feel worse for not doing it. Then I felt guilty for doing nothing all day, so I mowed the lawn. But there was a reason why I was doing nothing all day, and I should have headed that reason!
My weigh-in is accurate.

FEEL BETTER. you did great on calories. you have been doing well! yay to acccurate weight!
Exercise: NONE; Weight training: NONE; Calories: 1760 (unless I forgo my nightly ice cream, then 1460)
Well, I ended up turning the air conditioning on again last night because the humidity was just horrible. Good thing I did because we had storms last night. And we will probably have more tonight.
I really REALLY want to start running outside, on a consistent basis. Doesn't have to be a lot. Doesn't have to be very fast. But I'd like to get out there and do some kind of running 3x a week. I just can't do it in this weather though. The motivation to do so is just zilch.
I am still recovering from the sinus infection, hence no exercise today. Not even yardwork as I don't want to do anything outside that would aggravate my sinuses. Plus, it's too hot and humid out. Bleah.
Just not a lot of positives today for me.
