I didn’t lose six pounds last week (lucky stiff). I didn’t gain, I didn’t lose. Apparently my body is perfectly content as is, which is…annoying. However, there is something about seeing HZ report her 6 pound loss that motivated me to go to my parent’s house (where it is actually safe to jog up and down the street at night like a demented idiot, and RUN. At 10:20 at night. Yes, I am redoing week one because I still feel unsteady but I can now say with a great deal of certainty it wasn’t a pulled muscle. That’s a good thing. For my fat butt to run at 10:20pm is a miracle. A MIRACLE. I want bonus points. Or weight loss. Or both.
I was actually pretty good this weekend. I didn’t continue my path of consuming my body weight in chocolate after Friday night. I had a lovely visit with my friend Sabrina and together we managed to hand over our board positions for a nonprofit group we had volunteered for. One down, one to go and then HELLO free time. WOOT!
I think the only challenge this weekend was sitting at home on Saturday night eating ice cream sorbet (see, baby steps people) and watching a workout video. Have you ever seen a 65 year old woman with a bikini body? That lady is AMAZING. And she also made me feel like a jerk for whining about my sore muscles.
We can do this. I can do this. Week two begins and I am going to kick some serious work out ass.
Who is with me?
I here by grant you bonus points for running at 10:20 pm. I say that was worth 50 bonus points. You are a rockstar!
I’m sure the only reason I lost weight was because I was on my period last week was probably retaining 10 lbs of water. I get bonus points for working out during last week… Usually, my greatest excuse for not working out is period-week.
your hormones and depending on what day of the month it is, will explain that. one thing i learned from BuffMother.com was hormonal timing. after charting my mood, weight, strength and lots of other things for 6 months, i now know i always bloat up on day 22. and right before that aunt flo – i’ll gain at least 4 lbs. Also, those 2 weeks before it hits are the time many women fail in their endevours. Also, take your mesuremnents! there were many times my scale did not move but i lost a half inch off my waist.
dude, you DID week 1. You accomplished it! And yeah you deserve major bonus points for working out so late. you can’t compare yourself to e/o else, jsut do your best. you are totally rockin’ it, and your momentum will come.
It’s 10:10 and I’m still in my PJ’s and I’m feeling awful today. Got the kids out and crawled back in bed. I’m much worse than any day on week one. Not much soreness just all over ache and dread of the dreadmil. I’m going to try and get my butt up and go to the gym. I’ve got tons to do today and so do not want to run. I’m now hating this plan. I just needed to vent a bit ladies. I’ll see if week 2 is a possibility for me. If not I’m repeating week 1.
Who cares WHY you lost weight HZ. You lost it WOOT!
Cinde, boy do I know that feeling *grumble*
KJ, take it easy buddy. I felt like that toward the end of last week. The day after TaeBo and Halloween morning were just baaaad. Advil gelcaps and long steamy showers will loosen you up. You are totally welcome to repeat week 1 with me!
Thanks CK. I’m just back from the gym. I did some version of the week 2 thing. 90/ 2 minute shuffle. I’m going to try it. Now I’m taking a painkiller and going to slog though the rest of the afternoon. I guess it’s just hitting me now. I did my time on the dredmill and walked right out of there. No weights, no nothing! Good luck to you and everyone this week!
Ugh! I felt that way yesterday after finishing the 12 mile training walk.
I have realized that my feet were not made for long distance walking. Poor things, but after almost a year of training, today I felt fine. So, there is total hope for improvement everyone.
Yesterday – I hurt all over. Soaked in tub with bath salts and took two extra strength Tylenol (still cannot take Ibuprofen or Asprin due to medical procedure a week and three days ago). This morning feet hurt first thing when I got out of bed, but didn’t feel as if I needed to cut them off still and whole body felt fine.
HOLD ON everyone because this will pass – just not as quickly as we’d all like!
Three weeks until my insane training schedule is OVER for the 3 Day Breast Cancer walk. Yippee! I’ll be on the sidelines for all of you.
Go – Girls – Go!
Having taken a couple of days off for no good reason I got back on the WiiFit last night. It’s funny really, I get a good case of the I don’t feel like its, but as soon as I turn the thing on, I start having fun and the next thing I know I’m grinning, sweating, and breathing hard, and there’s not a cute boy in sight! That’s the sign of a good workout to me.
I, too, am going to kick some serious workout ass this week. I got 4 happy star stickers (because I’m a child who will work out for stickers) in my date book for last week, one for each day I worked out, and I’m going to at least match that this week.
ooo! Gold Stars. This is a great idea.
