Dianeeee!! Hey grl! The under 200 lb dynamo LOL!

I am sitting here avoiding my earlier workout. But I have to go downtown Detroit to pick up hubby and after laughing at Ginny, uh , I have to drive in it. SNOW that is.

Anyhoo I talked him into going to the store today to check out racks, I am not letting him back down or forget about this. My main goal is to get out of the old fogey gym. I want FFFRRREEEDDDDOOOOMMMM!

We also get to use some Red Lobster gift cards. We tell relatives who have to get us something because they just have to LOL to get us restaurant cards. They add up after a while and we can get CRAB! I just love Alaskan King CRAB! So do my kids. Which makes for a terribly cost inhibitive meal. UNLESS IT IS FREE!

Well it will probably be my last eat out for a while. I probably will put on a goal wt before I will let myself go again.

I am still avoiding the cold basement early in the morning

Okay I have to get over this.

OH hi guys in OHIO with the blizzard. From MICHIGAN who doesn't have a blizzard FOR ONCE!!

Stay warm!

Well, you have had a couple of days, huh? I can relate to the horror of someone saying that to you. When I went last month and had my BF tested, my category was "
It literally gave me the kick in the pants I needed to say to myself "I will never be in that category again. Evah. Take that craptastic day and turn it into your turning point. You have the desire, the will and the support and you are worth it. That last point is one that I think, we as women, struggle with the most. You are worth it.
Now, keep all your blizzard comments to yourself! LOL!!

I am right on the border of that BMI that puts me into "THAT" catagory so I intend to leave it BEHIND to never be seen again!

We ended up going somewhere else for food. Terrible food. My cheat meal WASTED. Oh heck. Then my DD comes down IN THE RESTAURANT with a fever. What the hey? I think she is faking. I get home and it is 101.5. Bad mommy.

Good news on the rack. The economy being down in MI makes dealer desperate for sales. We saw a Body Solid Commercial rack and things. OMG. I LOVE IT and so does DH. We saw it before the Power Tec Rack. We then went and saw the Power Tec. Wimpeh. Wimpeh, WimpAY!

DH loves big giant heavy duty item with welding and huge bolts and heavy metal. He loved it. Good for ME! Then he hesitates because he thinks I will quit. What faith BAH!

So I have to convince him. At least I have him wanting to workout down there. There will be payment tho he said, I have to help him break in the bench...

Such hardship....

Dunno when he will part with his hard earned money for the bench breakin tho

. Hopefully soon!

Workout today. Subs per trainer.
Front Squats 3/10/35# 45# 45#
Pushups 29.5" 3/10
Dumbbell bent-over row 3/10/25.75# 28.25# 28.25# wrist weights helped!
Step Ups 3/10/BW 15" bench. WOW owie.
Prone Jackknife 3/12 modified "Are we done yet?"

MuscleMom23 · 03-09-2008, 08:05 PM

I can't believe what I have just seen! Here I have been logging for 2 months but have not charted and calculated anything. So I go to do it for the trainer and lo and behold, junk.

I am good for the first half of the day and by dinner? I got lazy. Okay, I thought I did this for like um 3 days a week, nope just about everyday.

So here I am whining about weightloss when I have NO idea what I am doing, or where I have been or nothing. I mean what the heck?

I have been an emotional hormonal mess, and if not a mess on a rampage. Gee is that perimenopause hell?

Okay besides the hormones, I have GOT to get it together. I am accountable to myself first! Sheesh, I just cannot believe it. I thought I had the numbers. I wonder what I was doing and where I have been!

Earth to Kelly!

Knees aching today, probably the higher step.

So

Now this will be interesting.... This is normal behavoir for people in "That" catagory from what I know. The hardest thing is to get real honest about what you are eating. The frustrating part is not only is it the only way to weight loss but it is also the only way to sustained weight loss. Once you get honest and serious I think you'll find it pretty simple to not overeat as your body will begin to crave clean foods and those are pretty filling. So now that you realize what you have to do the question will be if you will do it. If your trainer is worth anything at all you will and then you will see some amazing results. I am looking forward to watching this journey.

Oh, Kelly, I have been going through this, too! I feel like I go through life with blinders on, at least to certain things, especially eating. I have had a horrible habit of going to the pantry and grabbing a handful of this or that! I saw an interview with Valerie Bertinelli last week and she was saying the same thing. I have been doing well this past week and am really hoping to see a nice loss for March!

I hope you get a power rack. We got one in December (Powertec) and it is the best fitness $$ we ever spent! I love it!!

This is the weirdest thing ever! I was taking to my friend this morning and wondering where else I have been belly achin' and not preforming LOL!

I cannot wait for the gym! It is more awesomer then I ever dreamed. And we will get an awesome deal. These guys need a sale. Commercial quality, whoa.

Anyhoo DH getting geeked, he has a physical job and it is hard on him. Our sons will be accountable to call Dad and tell him what they have done for the workout everyday.

Our FAM overhaul! The kids were moaning, but you can see they are starting to get excited and get a smile on their face. I am so glad.

Off to log bfast then off to the dentist. ARRGGGHHHH this taking care of yourself stuff sucks sometimes and HURTS.

MuscleMom23 · 03-11-2008, 06:45 AM

Okay, I have been on the puter all day long... ahhhhhhh my butt. I feel like @$#%. I am thinking my two sick kids coughing into my face and spewing foulness for the last week is taking it's toll

Good thing...I am getting my foods logged. WHAT A PROCESS. I have to go back quite a ways to see what is going on! It boils down to I eat too much LOL! Is it lunch time yet? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Sigh, my DD birthday party with friends on Friday and Sat with relatives. And I have NO energy...

nutbar · 03-11-2008, 11:21 AM

Ah, so you've not been tracking your food? And just started? Your "Here I have been logging for 2 months but have not charted and calculated anything." confused me. I need more coffee!

kfisherx · 03-11-2008, 11:22 AM

Kelly.... The eating thing gets infinately easier if you plan ahead. You can actually stay ahead of the cravings this way. Prepare 6 or 7 meals in the 300kcal or less range and plan when you will eat them. If you get the right macros the cravings are almost nil. A side benefit is that you don't have to go back and log later 'cause it is logged by the time you get up. I have been packing my daily meals now for 5 months.

Diane I logged everything in a tracker such as sparkpeople and fitday in January. Then I started NROL4W. I got so worked up over having to eat 250g of protein it SOOOO messed me up(I hate all the protein). So I continued to write what I ate down with the measurements in my "little black calender book" when I didn't feel like messing around with the logs. I hated them. Every dang time I went to log online, I had to enter all my "special" foods. And things seemed to be screwed up.

So I threw up my hands and just said I am going to log what I eat and calculate it later into a tracking system. And I went shopping and found some software I liked.

Well that is what went wrong. I didn't do it when I should have, going through too many emotional upheavals this month.

My son still has to have 3 month check ups for cancer. He is months out now. But I freak out at the scans. And I have had other "gunk" go on. Bad things, too many, all at once.

Meanwhile I am out of excuses for not tracking since I really believe in it. Ain't it ironic?

So did that confuse you more?

I had wanted to see what I naturally ate without planning hence just writing things down. I messed up at night. I just didn't write the measurements down. Some I didn't measure. But most I did and did not write it down!

So I was looking for trends for ME. As to how much I could eat. But I wanted to lose. So I either am not eating enough, I don't really know, or I am eating too much. Now I can't figure it out like I thought I could.

Now this post even confused me more LOL!

The last time I logged online was Jan 30th.

I agree that is the easiest way. I gotta stop flying by the seat of my pants.
