LOL, my aim was to walk for 40 minutes because it burns up to 300 calories, then i thought no you did bad today you had coke and a burger so i carried on till i got to an hour. I wouldn't have done it if i didn't put my sex and the city dvd in and watched a few episodes.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Hi everyone, I'm new to this thread and wanted to stop in and say hello. I keep my updates at Blossom's Action Plan but I don't mind sharing here too.

Today, I headed out to my 5:45 am spin class and worked out pretty hard. I think I overdid it bc my left calf has been kind of cramping. I'm hoping that it'll get better soon.

How is everyone doing now that the holidays are here? I'm motivated to work harder bc you know those coworkers are going to start bringing in those holiday treats especially with Thanksgiving just around the corner.

Re: Weight Loss Group

I guess I need to join this place too-_-. Ive been trying to lose wait for a while now. I was doing ok. When winter hits it always goes down hill. This time, I signed up for a gym membership and I try to watch what I eat. But I am always hungry. One thing Im happy about is that I dont drink soda. One less thing to worry about. I just wanna let people know that diet soda is probably worse than regular soda, so it should be avoided. Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is chemically altered and makes you crave carbs If anything, it will make you gain weight.

I hear this thing that diet soda makes it harder for your body to decompose(not the right word) fat. TOTALLY UNSURE ABOUT THAT. Im doing some research on that but nada. Might be bull. Anyways it tastes funky.

I need to stop eating so much and at odd hours. Today I had pasta at my boyfriends house and then some potatoes as a snack. Wtf. LOL Fried potatoes

Re: Weight Loss Group

4. Don't drink anymore diet drinks today (already had one this morning... needed some caf)
5. Eat 5 portions of fruit and veg
6. Don't waste any time at work because i have alot to get done to stay ahead before i go on holiday

I stuck to my points yesterday and ate very healthy... hopefully i can continue it today.

B... Bran Flakes, small box of raisins, and 1/2 pint of skimmed milk
L... WW Potato Crush, 2 clementines, and peach yogurt
D... 3-4 pork chipolatas w/ green peppers and onions, crusty roll, potatoes, mixed veg

Re: Weight Loss Group

One of my fellow climbers was in the gym last night...he and his friend brought pizza for us saturday...this guy is I guess from...not Texas...and he owns a pizza place and it was nom nom nom goooodddd.
I digress.
Anyway, he asks me, "So you like pizza then? How about pasta?"
Two things on me answering these questions:
a - he's so ridiculously hot *I* actually get momentarily tongue tied when he looks at me
and
b - Jamie likes food. As long as it's not seafood or fungus. And so that was my answer...

"Uh...Yes? I mean...uh...I don't like..y'know...um...mushrooms or like...anchovies or...weird stuff but...ummmmm...yeah...if you wanna...y'know...bring anything...uh. If I don't care for it, um...no offense is like...intended or anything...and um. John'll totally eat...y'know...anything I don't."

The whole time I'm stuttering this out I'm thinking "dear God he must think I'm a blithering idiot and if I DO eat this food how much more am I goingto have to add to my workout that day?!"

Uh.
You've probably never looked at pics of me climbing then. >.<
We're talking oversized sweats and a big t-shirt with no makeup and a Britney bun here. He wasn't looking at anything.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Hey guys! Is it cool if I join this thread even if my goal isn't weight loss? I'm very happy with my weight right now, my problem is that I have a tendency to let my fitness routine slide as soon as my life starts getting busy or stressful. I was in fantastic shape this summer but since school started in September I've been letting exercise slide, and I'm currently what you would call skinny fat. I look good, but I sure as hell don't feel good.

I normally do Pilates from a DVD I have, and I did 10 minutes of abs, 10 minutes of thighs and 10 of stretches just now and good god am I out of shape. I don't workout in gyms, it's never been my thing and I can't afford a gym membership right now. My fitness goals are to work up to doing 50 minutes of Pilates every other day within the next few weeks, and to alternate that with cardio... somehow. That's an issue for me, I have bad knees and running is so hard on them. I have to think on that one.

My diet is pretty decent right now, but there are a few things I want to tweak. I need to be eating more fresh vegetables, I have frozen veggies or in stuff I've cooked a lot, but I need more fresh stuff. I also need to cut back on sugar a bit. And I'm trying to eat less meat, so finding alternative protein sources is one of my current challenges.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Eating well is so hard for me when Im a student Today I had an exam at 8h30 pm. I studied from 10am-8pm with an hour break for lunch and coffee and mindless crap. I find im always eating when i study. Like after lunch. I had a billion snacks while i studied. not cool. Then I had fries at 10pm after my examp Sniff. It was only like 7 fries in all. Still I need to find some willpower in me somewhere.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Studying for a midterm and snacking on Chex Mix right now, actually...
must stop now.
Thanks for the reminder!

Today I had:
Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and a banana
Romaine Salad with a tiny bit of balsamic dressing (the newman's own low fat one) with half a chicken breast
an orange and a pear
Pesto and whole wheat pasta with the other half of the chicken breast
and now Chex Mix... which I will now put away.

I've had a good day food wise, but I haven't gone to the gym in a looong time. And my gym buddy is moving back to her hometown (which is soooo sad because she's my best friend) because of personal problems.

I feel like I've been in midterm time for a month and by the time they're over it'll be finals time. ARG!!

I hope everyone's doing well and HI!! to all the new people posting in the thread!

Re: Weight Loss Group

Took it too easy to day for a day off (Canadian Rememberance Day). I don't want to face the 3 days until the weekend in SUPER lazy mode, eating wasn't too horrible, just not stellar. I think I didn't gain or lose anything the past couple days. At least I'm uh, rested for tomorrows step aerobics class?
