danielle, are you drinking your 2 liters of water per day?

remember for the colonix to work properly you need to drink 2 liters!

No Maura, i've been bad with the water drinking. i have to really make sure i drink it.

Well, it sucks. Just got back from my softball game and my first up to bat I took off running and pulled my left quadriceps (I think I actually aggravated it last night in my Biggest Loser ultimate sculpt workout) So, that sucked. Then I go to catch a fly ball in the outfield last night and instead of catching it with my glove it hits my forearm so it looks like a softball burned an imprint on my forearm..ha It's going to be ugly tomorrow. Thank god I have some serious time after softball season to recuperate all my bruises. Plus, I know I won't feel like exercising with my leg very seriously for awhile. So it sucks!! I guess I'll just have to walk.

Oh Amy! I'm so sorry! I hate sports injuries - they throw such a kink in our workout plans!

 

I know I've posted about 18 million times today and I promise I'll lay off tomorrow....but I just have to say that I did not follow any of my own tips tonight and I find it hilarious that I just posted them this afternoon.

 

I went to my Pilates Jump class and had to stop halfway through because I was dizzy and thought I was going to throw up. (Seriously. This is THE. TOUGHEST. WORKOUT. EVER.)

 

I got home and my body was seriously craving water and carbs/sugar. I drank a ton of water and inhaled tortilla chips and salsa. Then I had 4 of those Amy's Pizza Snacks things with a - gasp! - diet COKE! WTH? I don't know what just happened to me! I think my body was in emergency mode and there was no stopping it! None of this - take a break, drink some water and see if you're still hungy in 10 minutes crap! I was just inhaling!

 

The good news is I'm not dizzy anymore. I'm not sure what happened. I always try to eat extra carbs for lunch on the days when I have that class because I know I'll need them. But I've been home for 1.5 hours and my clothes are still sopping wet with sweat. Blech.

 

Off to a hot shower...

 

I sure hope this doesn't affect my weigh-in tomorrow!

Its a set of extreme workout dvds, they have infomercials on tv on sunday mornings, lol! DH & I started doing it a few weeks ago and it is a great workout, but I think I need more cardio right now to get the pounds off, so I'll still do some of the workouts like kenpo and plyometrics and probably the arms workout, but I think I'll skip the others and just do the treadmill.

This morning I had a skinny vanilla latte and a reduced fat breakfast sandwich without the bacon from Starbucks. I am heading to the gym in one hour. I am also meeting my trainer. Tonight I am hosting a dinner party for my girlfriends and it's Mexican night. Ugh...margies and enchiladas.

Be good tonight yari, don't forget we weigh in tomorrow!

I have always had a problem in that area and now I drink a Danactiv every morning and I'm like clockwork. It's actually my breakfast and it's only 90 calories. I drink that and then I drink a TON of water between breakfast and lunch. (I don't subscribe to the 'eat breakfast to get your metabolism running' philosophy. I tried and it doesn't work for me. I just end up eating more throughout the day.) For those of you who are having a rough time - TODAY IS A NEW DAY!!! You can always scratch the old and start anew! Let's do this!

I'll have to look for that because I don't know what's wrong with me!

Oh, I forgot to mention too, that today I put on a pair of linen capris I had bought last summer, I couldn't even button them when I bought them and just shoved them in a drawer. Well I put them on today and they fit!! They're still a little snug in the waist, but not horrible. I was so excited, especially since I've been feeling crappy because the scale isn't moving!

thats good news!!! keep up the good work. I need to get my butt back in gear...between Mothers day and my bday, theres been too many carbs and margaritas...I know tomorrow's weigh-in will not be pretty for me :-(

[ErinB]

I'm having the worst week ever! I was up 8 pounds from my starting weight on Monday! I have no idea why or how I could gain that much in 5 days!

 

I did drink rather heavily this weekend and ate a lot of salt so I'm hoping that is all it is. I had my shower and lots of sweets and no exercise.

 

I'm guessing it is stress related but it is hard to relax when you're a COW! I have about 4 1/2 weeks to lose 20 lbs! LOL Looks likes the Chicken, Lettuce, Oatmeal diet for me!

[1elephant]

i weighed today at ww and i'm up 1.8 lbs this week. considering all i ate, that's really not bad. tonight's my junk night, and tomorrow i start fresh.

That is so good to hear. Even though the scale hasn't moved it still shows some progress!!!

Keep up the good work!
