@janetheconquerer, I hate hearing you be so negative about yourself! Living a healthy life is a good goal. For me, I try not to focus on my weight or how my body looks, but instead give myself athletic goals (running a certain distance, or race, or completing a challenging workout). It's harder to be down on yourself when you've just run a 5k, or do the erg for longer than you have before, etc)
High: as of Wednesday I already had 3gym days down. Woohoo.
Low: I am seriously hating my body these days. My weight is good, had a health screening for insurance yesterday and my numbers came back great, been having good workouts. But my thighs and my stomach are just gross. A week ago I looked great so it's probably just bloat or something, but I hate it.
I've honestly gotten totally derailed. I think I'll be able to pick back up once I get use to school. But we're keeping to cooking at home and not going out to eat, so I guess that's a win.
@janetheconquerer I second what th3stryck3r said! You've made so many positive changes and continue to work on living a healthy life. I wish I had your drive for working out! You're doing awesome!
Highs: day 2 of spinning continues tonight. Lows : I ate terribly yesterday. Goals: Just keep spinning. Even if I only have time or energy for a 10 minute spin, I have to just DO SOMETHING.
th3stryck3r, ampaints, i hear the negativity, trust me and it drives me crazy. but i can't stop it. i try and try. I am just so disappointed with myself right now. And it stems from the fact that I have been busting my butt for over a year to lose this weight and I see very little to no change. It's disheartening honestly. BUT i do know that all this weight issue and no change can be linked to my thyroid issue. It's just frustrating. I'm sorry for being a downer. When out of town, I was just disgusted with myself.
Honestly though, MOST of the time, I try to stay positive and keep working out. Without hard work no change will ever come (that's what i tell myself).
Highs: I've lost a pound and have been carrying w in the tula a lot so I'm counting it as a workout. Lows: I'm cancelling our ymca membership at the end of the month. It doesn't seem to be getting better and we don't have time to make it a solid routine (because of clubs, aquarium, library time, etc.)., and I feel like at this age if we miss any tike at all there he completely reverts.
Goals: take walks 4 times a week and find a Barre workout on youtube that I like to workout to.
highs: Getting 7 days of the Yoga Revolution done so far (in 8 days). Getting daily exercise is making a huge impact on my mental state. I NEED it. I feel like I'm also starting to eat a little better. I hit rock bottom with sugar over the holidays. The daily exercise also helps my eating, it is like a reminder "OK, you don't really need that cake, you can eat an orange and some almonds! Think about all the work you just did."
lows: Stomach bug....although I should maybe weigh myself tomorrow b/c I had round 2 of it today it seems. I would probably finally see the number on the scale going down!
goals: Keep at the Yoga Revolution. Run at least 2x this week too.
Looks like everyone is working hard! We all have our lows but as long as we keep going back to achieving our goals, I think we are winning! Good job ladies, keep it up!
Highs: got in 4 workouts this week. Ate less sugary stuff. Lows: went jeans shopping. Still not really losing. So frustrating, I'm working out, I'm eating decently, sticking to my calories... No noticable changes in 3+months. Goals: keep up with what I'm doing, recalculate calories.
