Oye girls, feeling super FAT lol.
But I don't know why one of those things that you just FEEL.
I did 20 minutes on the bike
30 minutes on the eliptical
20 minutes on the treadmill
and maybe 15-20 minutes free weights
since there was no step class today.
Hilight of day a friend stopped by work (she had to ask a work related question) and we haven't seen each other in ages and she complimented my makeup. She's SUCH a sweethear, I love when people do that... most of the time its when I am wearing Auqadisiac to line my lower lash line i guess that's a really great look for me! (Thanks to Ashley the MA who taught me to do that!!)

Sitting here watching the last 10 lbs bootcamp lol, I always feel like such a cardio deficient lazybone after watching shoes like this. lol
Shopping for a target outfit, but I don't get it. I fit mostly 3x clothes from additionelle but they list a 3x
Bust 50-52 inches (I'm 55")
Waist 42-44 inches (I'm 51.5")
Hips 52 to 54... (only one that i'm matchy on... lol hips are around 54 or 55.
I want to order a 2x but that might be too much of a lofty goal? I'm mean I haven't had a 38 waist since Jr High... but the tops really cute and so I figure it would be something good to hang on my door and look at. Its suppppper cute except it shows off too much arm. But I'm learning to let go of that somewhat. I still dislike my arms but I'm learning to live with it.
Also a pair of dark jeans in 22 , (thinking of getting both a 20 and a 22, i'm TOTALLY a jeans girl so it'll be good to have something ) the jean is a TALL and pretty classic cut dark wash, not tapered, not wide leg, totally my eternal style (i've detested tapered jeans, i was so releaved when boot cuts became in style... now I just don't care what's in style, I'm a boot cut girl, and if that makes me look outdated I just .. really don't give a darn lol).

For me, I want to feel healthy, and look healthy. There's so much clothing that would love to wear, but because of my size (med-large), I can't wear it. With losing weight as well, it will help my back problems (I slipped my disc twice in the last 3 months, and had to go to the hospital, and have been in physio). Also, I just want to prove myself that I can be the weight that I have always wanted to be, and it will be an amazing boost of self esteem.
For me, my sister Jen is my inspiration. She used to always be 175-200lbs, and then in the last 4 years, shes been working out, eating right, and shes been an extremely healthy 120lbs (she did go down to 105, but then she joined rollerderby like me and got toned and some really nice muscle), and she looks AMAZING! She always gets complimented on her looks, and I know I would love to hear that about myself.

Ok, today was a weird food day for me, filled with weird cravings and oral fixation. It sounds a lot more crude than it was, I had to have something in my mouth all day. And I can't chew gum because it throws my jaw out of place and I get headaches (speaking of which I need to go to the chiropractor and get that fixed again), so basically I was snacking constantly.
I had: tea, chai latte, english muffin, oven baked chicken, french onion soup, lots of mints (argh!), and some veggie snacks... Along with lots of other random things, like olives, and crackers, and whatever I could get my hands on. I should have had a salad. I need to have more salads. And less cheese.
Tomorrow: Salad, no meat, probably peas and corn at some point, something to use up the last of my bread before it goes stale, and pilates!

Tish, I'm jealous!!!!
That's so many beautiful things for 10$!!!!!!!!!
Need to go to Texas soon!
As for me, last night I went to the VIP event at MUFE.
Got many cute little gifts, also, got offered by the manager to help her. She want's to start teaching me everything tomorrow.
I was totally freaking out, that's my dream coming true!
For diner I had a crab salad sandwich, with couscous salad and brocoli salad.
Today I don't have my lunch, so I'll go to the cafeteria but I'll take an egg salad sandwich.

Ok, I'm checking in. First off I just realised that I haven't been reporting my daily walking, so since Saturday was the last one I reported:
Sunday: 3.5 km. Not my goal, but I was pretty sick.
Monday: 2.8 km. See above.
Tuesday: 5.4 km. I was still sick, but I made myself go for a long walk.
Wednesday: 4.4 km.
So, I need to ramp up the daily steps. Today I'm at 2 km, and I wasn't intending on going out (a lot of homework), but I think I'll go for a walk later and try to get above 5 km.
Anyway, food today I had trail mix, then cream of veg soup, and a baked potato. Still need to have a salad, that's going to be my next meal. No mints thus far, yay! This morning I had two cups of coffee, and I've also had a cup of chai tea (not the latte form).
Exercise today, I did 40 minutes of pilates. Yay! I feel so freaking good now. I did 10 minutes abs, 10 buns/thighs, 10 shoulders and arms with 3 pound weights (I got them on Saturday before I got sick), and 10 minutes flexibility. It went really great, I know I've taken almost a week off what with having guests and being sick, but I think some muscle built up in that week. I'm going to see how I feel tomorrow, but I might do a smaller workout then too.
Sounds cool Willa! P.S. I'm jealous of your crab sandwich, I want one now.
Skylar, I'm sending you motivation!

Good job with the cardio snowflake, I can't do that, I get so bored.
Tish, do you want us to harass you about working out, or leave it be?
Final walking distance, 3.8 km. I wanted to go for a walk, but the sun sets at about 4:30 now and I don't feel comfortable walking around by myself in the dark here so I didn't hit 5 km. I had a spinach salad with tomatoes, a bit of onion, a hard boiled egg, and some home made honey mustard red wine vinegar dressing. Also, I know I said today was a no meat day, but I had chicken fried rice, but with fish instead of chicken. So fish, wild rice, corn, peas, green pepper, onion, garlic, etc. Really good, and I made enough for left overs.
I'm also having popcorn right now as a snack.

New struggler reporting...
I'm 17 and weigh 73kg (160.6 lbs) and I'm 172cm (5''8) and nedless to say I'm not happy with that... my BMI is closing in on the overweight, right now I'm about 24.7 and overweight is at 25.
I really want to get in shape until the next summer! I figure that's a reasonable enough time. I'm looking at trying to lose about 10 kgs but my main focus will just be to get into shape and tone up a bit, and if I'll loose some excess blubber in the process I'll just consider that the cherry ontop.
It's hard to eat healthy when you live with a single dad that only keeps beer and sausage in the fridge, but I hope I'll be able to make it. I've been saving up for months to be able to buy a gym card to the place my friends are going to, because I knew I'd never be able to kick myself and get going on my own, so hopefully training with my friends will help me.
I will say motivation and comittment are my biggest problem. Well not motivation, I really want this, but still someone I keep cheating and eating bad stuff. I don't understand myself sometimes.
My goal with this is to finally feel comfortable in my own body.

Well Tish you know where we are.
Man snowflake, you are just loosing weight like crazy!
Welcome Calhoune, motivation and commitment are everyone's problems! Lol.
Ok, I finally hit my walking goal again 6.4 km today. I may revise my previous goal of 10 km to 5 km, just because it's fall now and raining almost everyday... I don't like being out in the rain if I don't have to. No pilates as of yet, I might do the 10 minute cardio thing and 10 flexibility later. My arms are sore from yesterday, which I like in the twisted way that only a former gymnast could, lol.
Food, english muffins for breakfast, shepherd's pie, and I just woke up from a long nap and had ice cream before I could tell myself not too. And I had 4 mints earlier... Ugh. Oh well, refocus tomorrow.

There's many counters in Montreal, but the one I prefer is at The Bay, at Mc Gill station, near Ste-Catherine's street entrance on street level.
Today I did not eat a lot, but it's okay
I was stressed by my first class at the MUFE MUA's appartment. It went well but I was very nervous.
I took a Juggo Juice mini mango juice, it was soooo good <3
Hope you are doing well girls

Hey everyone! The thread's been a little quiet today...
In any case I've had a decent day as far as health. I had yogurt with nuts and honey, crackers, and cream of veggie soup thus far. I was pissed though, when I went to cut myself a slice of bread to go with my soup it was moldy! Sometimes I hate living in a humid climate. I'm probably going to have some of the fried rice I made the other day. I need some protein and carbs so it sounds good. And something else after that, I haven't decided what yet. I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow, the food situation is a little sparse.
Exercise, I think my step counter has 22 steps on it right now. I've been inside aaalllll day working on catching up on reading, doing some assignments, working on a paper, etc. However, I just finished doing 50 minutes of Pilates, and man did it kick my ass. Sometimes I love to hate the lady on my dvd, most of the time I'm so in the zone I don't even notice her, but every once in a while she says something particularly annoying and I snarl at her. Like after about 40 minutes, in the cardio section, she made some overly cheerful comment about starting to sweat. And I'm thinking, bitch please, I'm drenched and smelly so you can just shut up. And now I'm re-hydrating and cooling down, at which point I will go shower.
Good luck ladies, and let us know how things are going.
