Can I just say I pissed I am to see this number on the scale this morning! Really there are no excuses except the normal ones. I ate like crap, ate way more than I should have and didn't put in enough exercise minutes. Adding up my time last night I realized that I got NO exercise minutes in 3 of the 7 days. Totally unacceptable for me! I KNOW that for me to lose weight I MUST be consistent and put in an hour of exercise EVERY SINGLE DAY with an occasional day of "rest". Apparently this week I thought I deserved 3 days of rest. Thus, the gain AGAIN on the scale!
I could say I had a sinus infection so it's understandable to expect a gain on the scale since the antibiotics ALWAYS cause a gain in me but in all honesty I just put in the effort to lose weight. Apparently I don't want to look good when we go to San Diego in December. Apparently I expect "My Marine" to get his act together but I can continue sitting around being an
This week is once again exercise minutes which will work out for me. We have the Virtual 5K this weekend that That Other Kid and I are doing, on top of the training for the Komen 3 Day. This is our last long mileage weekend then we have a weekend of tapering before the event. This past week I only had 546 minutes which for me is really light.
This week's mini-challenge is water! This one I have in the bag. I drink a lot of water a day - at least 100 ounces (yes, I spend alot of time in the bathroom!). Last week's mini-challenge was to eat "my greens". I have to admit I did good 3 of the days but the rest of the week? NOT SO MUCH! Eating veggies are sooo hard for me but I have been improving and that is the goal, right?
Ok...so my plan for the week - TRACK my food! This works for me, WHEN I DO IT! It's just a matter of doing it. I also need to focus on the low glycemic index plan. I lost weight on this....I just need to FOLLOW IT!! I also need to move my body more intensely and more often!
So...here's to another week...I'm hoping that ALL of the Pink Tribe remains intact this week but if not we will stick together even from exile island. We are united all seeking the same goal...healthier, more fit women!

I'm right there with you Ann! I did the exact same thing as you this week..didn't exercise enough, ate to much and didn't log a thing. I'm going back to Sparkpeople to log again because I just can't do it without logging. Here's to a better week! We can do it!
Don't be so hard on yourself Ann. You had a bad week (by your standards). You just have to shake it off and get started on the new week. Just to give you some perspective...you had more than 100 minutes of exercise more than me. That should make you feel good. I have to get back to tracking my food. I do so much better when I do. I guess now is as good a time as any to start, right? Good luck with the week ahead.
stop being so hard on yourself!!! i was proud of my 424 minutes - would you critize me for that number?? then stop being upset with yourself!!
Hang in there girl! YOu have made AMAZING fitness progress. Stick with it - each week is a new one! I can't believe how much you are walking. WOW! You go! One step at a time - just refocus for this week!
