THere we go, she's looking out for our health and welfare (I'm actually fairly sure the root of my problems is ISP related, but hehe... ).

Just did step aerobics

I wanted to do more but that wiped me out!

 

[Lizzie]

I hope everyone is doing well with their goals.
Weight loss has taken a backseat to trying to finish the semester off without passing out. It's going by so fast, it's like there's no time in the day. I did, however, take a little time to myself to dye my hair the other day. I dyed my hair a really dark (almost) black color in an attempt to get closer to my natural hair color. My roots were growing out like crazy and I just can't keep up anymore. But now I think it's too dark! Ugh. Anyway, writing in this thread is making me put down the Sundried Tomato Wheat Thins!
Goal for after finals: No late night eating, and no energy drinks!

How is everyone doing? Did you guys see the tread about the peanut butter cup cookies? Looking sinfully delicious! &Looking will have to suffice...lol

Ok, back to work...reading articles on the computer is straining my eyes. If anyone is still up post something! I'm pulling an all nighter and will be checking specktra periodically to keep my sanity!

 

[Willa]

Sorry girls, I don't write a lot here.
It's been the same ol' same ol' for a while

 

[TISH1124]

Me too...But I have started My Wii Fit program and I love the Yoga and the Gillian Michael's Core workout programs

 

[NutMeg]

I've been bad. Ok, if I don't post back here about working out by the end of the day you guys need to make me feel bad. I'm having the same problem as Lizzie, I've got a big paper due tomorrow afternoon and I'm camped out in my room in front of the computer. Except for later today when I'll head over to the music library and try to find a score from a specific psalm book published in the 1500s. Ugh.

 

[Willa]

Its normal, I think, that when you have many things to do, studying as an example, to let go a little.

Just make sure you eat good stuff when you do.

 

[Willa]

Girls, go get a lotery, I'm eating fruits right now

Bought a little basket of blackberries last night
Its gooooood

Also, I've printed a picture of Jennifer Lopez that I liked, and I put it in my desk's drawer. You know, the one where I hide food... No more food in it lol

 

[Lizzie]

NutMeg, good luck with school!
Have you ever been so sleepy that everything is funny? I think I'm delirious.

 

[NutMeg]

Yes. I do NOT fall asleep easily, I often get insomnia, or I can't sleep in a strange bed or with different pillows, but man right now I could fall asleep anywhere. My chair, at the library, on a bench... Ugh. Last exam is on the 17th and then I can go back to being a person.

I've done pretty well for good food today, a bagel and some avocado sandwiches. I kind of want to make coleslaw again, I've got some veggies I want to use up before they go bad. I must do pilates today, I keep repeating that.

 

[cupcake_x]

Wow, great thread! I'm in the process of getting healthy, firming up and trying to lose weight and I know this will be of great help to me.

I'm 5'1 and 120 pounds.. Not terrible, but I want desperately to firm up. I have a poochy tummy and my cellulite problem is terrible.

 

[TISH1124]

^^^ Welcome to my dimpled not by choice world!!!

 

[NutMeg]

I didn't do pilates. I spent the entire day in front of the computer, and no I didn't find a good version of that piece I was looking for.

The paper is due this afternoon so I'm going to be crazy busy today too.

I ate decently well yesterday, I had a baked potato, stuffed mushroom caps, and some coleslaw. Thus far today I've had greeklies. Eh, at least I'll get some walking in, I've got a doctors appointment in about half and hour across campus.

At least it's not just me!

 

[Willa]

Right now I'm fighting with myself very hard not to eat for diner because I had a greasy lunch around 2pm. I know I could eat something light, but I know my old self... and it's not what it's going to end up being.

Gotta do something else, think about something else!!!
My man isnt home, and all I can think about is eating
Bad bad bad

 

[NutMeg]

You can do it Willa, I know you can.

 

[TISH1124]

Well I have to drink a bottle of Merlot tonight and I don't drink... However Sex & Alcohol makes my dh care less about how much I spent today!!!

I did it

Actually for lunch it wasnt soooo greasy but you know...
It was a grain bread sandwich with crab salad in it, with a side of brocoli salad.

So, I did eat a little fajita bread with some onion hummus and a little bit of tomato salsa.

I had an orange juice with some banana liquor in it

 

[NutMeg]

Yay Willa!

I had another bleh day, I have an exam tomorrow. But the paper is done! And I'll actually have time to shower and be a person tomorrow after my exam (at 8:30 am, who the hell schedules an exam at 8:30 on a Saturday morning!!!!), so I'll definitely work out.

P.S. Tish I think I love you.

Love you back.....Yep the alcohol & sex did the trick...All is good in the Gadlin House!!!!

 

[NutMeg]

^Lol.

So today I had a bagel before my exam, and a cup of chai tea. I wanted coffee but I figured I'd have to pee really bad during my exam if I did that (TMI? Perhaps..

). I just had a baked potato because I love potatoes. I plan on having some coleslaw later, and maybe a scrambled egg wrap for supper. I need to go grocery shopping again tomorrow.

On the up side I just did 40 minutes of pilates, yay! I feel better now, but I could tell when I was doing it that I needed to be doing it more often. Tomorrow I want to do some wall sits throughout the day, and maybe the cardio and flexibility parts of my DVD. Heck I might even get wild and crazy and do some lunges. And just to shame myself, my walking results for the last week.
Sunday: 0 km
Monday: 2.0 km
Tuesday: 6.5 km
Wednesday: 7.2 km
Thursday: 0 km
Yesterday: 4.4 km.

On another note, I've been having waaaay too much caffeine in the past couple days. I have at least 2 or 3 cups of tea, and maybe a cup of coffee. I think I might have past the time where I can stop without getting a terrible headache, so I might just keep caffeinating myself and hope I don't get a migraine until exams are over. Then I will just stop on a day when I know I don't have anything important to do.
