Good morning to me!
I can't believe that it's Thursday morning already and April is nearly over!
I'm having trouble typing here today. The exercise paralysis that took over my upper body has morphed into my lower biceps and triceps. I'm having trouble raising my arms. For the life of me, I don't know how I'm going to get through TKD class at noon today, I really don't. I've been stretching, stretching, stretching and it certainly helps (as does drinking water!) but some things just take time, don't they?
Fortunately, my lower body punishment bestowed upon me by Adam the Tricep Terrorist yesterday wasm't nearly as bad. I'm sore, but good sore.
Today I'm planning on swinging by my friend Trader Joe's house and getting me some yummy goodness....ww pizza crust, almond butter, mozzarella, etc. Mmmmm! I'm going to hold off on planning lunch until I get home from there.
It's going to pour here all day so I'll be in my office scrapbooking. I do a lot of freelance art work for some scrapbooking magazines and manufacturers and I have some deadlines that I've been ignoring. Now those deadlines are right here and I have got to buckle down and get it done. Rainy days are great for that.
Choir rehearsal tonight after a three week spring break hiatus.
B: Steel cut oats, 1/2 banana, hard boiled egg, tomato juice, coffee
S: ff cottage cheese
L: ??? Maybe chicken salad wrap
S: high fiber cereal and blueberries
D: grilled chicken caesar salad
E: TKD practice (75 mins, if I can do it!)
Oh, the scale likes me today...down 1.0lb. from yesterday. Lactic acid, go away!

Okay, I"m dying here today. I'm not working out today. I'm going to take three Aleve and go back to bed for an hour or so.

Aw sorry you're not feeling well, hot water and steam should help to alleviate things.
Good job on sticking with it, the stuff from Trader Joe's sounds delicious. I really must check that store out once in a while!
Hope you get to feeling better and have/had a good day!

Hey, guess what? I got my arms back! Yay! I really missed them, I even had trouble driving yesterday. Pathetic!!!!!!
I'm working from home today ~ yay! My husband has a business meeting here late this afternoon, so I have to make sure that my first floor looks presentable.
Dd fell coming home from the bus stop yesterday and hurt her bad foot, so we've got a lot of teary drama going on this morning.
I told her that she can go in at 9:30 instead of 8:30 to give the pain meds time to kick in again. I just can't take teary, whiny drama this early in the morning! When I'm hurting, I have to suck it up and get on with my day.....
Anyhow, hoping for another good food day today!
B: high fiber bread, ff cottage cheese, tomato juice, coffee
S: hard boiled egg, grape tomatoes
L: chef salad w/ ranch
S: high fiber cereal w/ berries
D: chili w/ salad, brussel sprouts, milk
E: TKD practice tonight

Good morning and a happy TGIF to you!! You're very lucky to be able to work from home. I would love to do that! But unfortunately it just isn't possible. I'm sorry to hear about DD too. That's just so awful!
I hope your day brightens a bit!

Well now....
It's a good day.
Several years ago I was fat and content at a pudgy 175lbs., which was about 25 lbs. more than my ideal weight. I looked okay, felt okay, felt okay about it. Then in 2001 circumstances in my life went a bit off kilter and I found myself having panic attacks and not managing well. I ended up on medication which helped me with the panic attacks and anxiety, but put about 60lbs. on my already overweight bod over the course of about 6 months.
I have no idea at what point I passed that 200# mark, I just know that I found myself around 240 (man, it's even hard for me to type that!). I pretty much gave up on myself. Not long after, my little brother (6 years younger than me) was diagnosed with diabetes and liver enzyme problems and that scared me. I decided to join my daughter in martial arts training and lost about 25lbs. in two years, but my weight stabilized.
Last year I started SBD in January and lost about 10lbs. right away, then got to my P2 "chill out" and got frustrated. I maintained that loss until the holidays and promptly gained it all back and a few pounds more.
Fast forward to this March. A few more family members were diagnosed with diabetes. I do NOT want it. NO NO NO! I consider myself an athlete and want to use that self-definition to help me live longer and healthier, but along with that, I knew I had to do something about my weight. So I got back on the Beach with a new "lifestyle" attitude. If I meet my goal in six months, great. If it takes me three years, that's okay too. Most likely the reality will be somewhere in the middle.
I lost 9 lbs in P1. Since I went to P2, I've kicked up my exercise and been pretty darned faithful to the SBD principles, but kept seeing the scale toss around the same three or four pounds. Occasionally I'd dip under 200, but it would always be taken away.
Well today I put on some tight jeans and they're practically falling off of me and my body is finally not sore anymore. I decided to weigh in before lunch and I'm down to 197. That's nearly a five pound drop for me this week. BAM!
For some odd reason, I think this one is going to stick. It just feels right. So it's been a good six years since I've been under 200. I still have a good 40lbs to go, but man, this feels good.
I celebrated with tuna salad, a ww pita, and some brussel sprouts.
It's a good day.

hey, way to go! you're doing great work - eating is great and you're pushing yourself with exercise. you deserve the results you see!
it's a great feeling when you're in the groove with the good habits. it's self-affirming ... you feel great and continue to do what makes you feel good. bad habits feel more and more alien and bad the more you stay away from them.
you should be proud!
