Feeling Bad, need support

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

I'm not loving my outfit today, and I feel kind of fat. I didn't work out or eat particularly well last week. Even though I didn't gain weight, I feel a bit gross. I am looking forward to getting back into better habits this week. Hopefully I'll feel better physically and have more self-confidence. I need to stay resolved and push forward. I can do it, I can make habits that will make me feel healthy and strong every day.

You WILL feel better once you get back in the swing of things. Don't let an off day and an off outfit throw you through a loop.

Think about what habits you can start this afternoon that will move you toward your goal...even something very simple like choosing water over soda can get you from gross to glorious.

A workout or a walk always make me feel better! Good luck and just keep moving forward!

I am with you, I haven't had the best past week or so and am feeling a little yuck. Continue to push yourself to do well this week and forgive yourself for last week. You rock!

I hear ya. I hate those days. For me getting in one workout really changes my whole outlook. Setting goals and rewards for small things helps me. Like, if I work out 4 mornings before work then I can get a new book/cd/movie over the weekend. You can do this!

A little bit frustrated, but I'll soldier on.

I've been at this consistently for a week now and my weight has been stable. I even exercised twice, which is unusual for me, but hopefully the start of a new habit. I did make a few mistakes, though, and I haven't been getting much sleep, so maybe things will start looking up soon. I've committed myself to consistently logging exercise and food this month, and regularly checking into my SparkTeams. Consistency is king. I won't give up or lose focus.

A little bit frustrated, but I'll soldier on.

Lunch and Dinner out, but still on track.

Monday, August 30, 2010

It was a kind of challenging day, since I had lunch and dinner out of the house. I managed to stay under 1600 calories, which was pretty good.

I performed admirably. I had about half of my Thai food lunch and drank two glasses of water, and I took just one slice of pizza and had a glass of water for dinner. My downfall was randomly noshing on a few hors 'd oeuvres, when I wasn't even hungry at an event. If not for that nosh I'd have been at around 1400, which would have been amazing. My defenses were down because I had two glasses of wine. Unnecessary noshing is harder to resist after the second glass of wine, but it's something I'll need to work on. Because sometimes, I'm going to want that second glass of wine.

I'm pretty proud of myself, which is a guess an odd way to feel when you're technically over.
