Ok Gals!!!   Let's keep up the hard work during the Holidays.  My goal is to maintain or only gain at the most 2#'s.  NO MORE.  I think that's managable since I'm balancing out the sporatic garbage eating w/ lots of veggies, oatmeal and good hard workouts.  I've changed up my lifting routine to a more intense level.  Was doing a basic 3 set of 10 to 12.  Now it's 4 sets of 6/12.  First two 6 reps hard, next two are 12 lighter.  Only one min or less rest inbetween sets. 

Hey Hard, at least you're loading some type of gun, right!!  Keep it up and let's all use the New Year as a better time to focus on dropping.  No reason to set unrealistic goals of dropping 10 lbs in December!  Right?

Have a great week!

I had to take time off, have been mild on crap though so that is good but am soft now due to time off, I did get xrays so now I wait.
I have to book treatments too, but its hard right now with timing of holidays but I am working on it and for the time being still sitting under 16% bf.

Oh, better own up today. It's my off week and there is just soo much chocolate everywhere, if it was crappy chocolat thats one thing but Godiva, yikes, I haven't had this much sugar in  long time... I'm not even a sugar girl, I'm a hardcore fat and savory weakness type.

And the boss bought Indian again, I've been to the bar (or to the booze) more than a few times in the last week, going again tonight (well I'm actuially half in the bag right now, work party). It's open bar with punk rock boys who owe me, like you have no idea how they owe me.

Yikes, I tanked quick!

Ah well, December 26th and it will all be a memory (+5 pounds to remind me). The new routine starts and I can't wait.

I messed up. I was out of town for two weeks. I would have my usual breakfast and usual and lunch/snacks. then I would go to happy hour--I had some fried fatty food with a drink. I still did some cardio (the hotel had a treadmill).
I was drinking 64oz of water a day.  

I think because I was out of town I lost control. I was not being responsible. It was almost like a vacation.  

I am fixing that now . I am getting back to my kickboxing next week--can't wait!!

Christmas is coming as well. YIKES!!

Ok, how was everyone's holiday.....  I gained 2 lbs and now need to get back on track.  I've been eating clean with some junk scattered thoughout the day.  Maybe a cookie here one day and the next day I'll nibble on something else.  Very rarely, have I had a totally "clean" day.  That's kinda tough after the "free-for-all" of the holidays.  So, I'm not beating myself up.  I'll phase in the totally clean w/ a cheat day (Saturdays) here over the next week.

After my competition, I only wanted to gain back 10 lbs...oops.  So, my long term goal is to lose 4-5 lbs.  Short term; by the end of next week, I will be posting regularly on Fitday and have a totally clean on Friday.

Hey everyone!  I think we all sorta took some time off, huh.  Sometime's that's needed.  Now's the time to get back into the mindframe of training, eating healthy and taking better care of ourselves.  We're worth it.  Bounce back from those Holiday extras and you'll feel sooo much better.  (btw, I'm telling this to myself too!!)  Hope everyone's doing great and I'm going to check in more often now.... :)

Glad to see you off time was benifical, sounds like it was.

I have nice news today.

The pants that I was going to wear New Years, that I couldn't button, thanks to a little holiday excess (was all for the best, killer mini skirt was a super hit, and a better choice anyway), are now officially back into rotation, as of last week!!!

Way to go you 2!!!!  I like hearing positive news, I need your good news to feed off right now so this is awesome!!

My latest is in my journal.........new plans to go with some chronic injury which I have learned of and now have to live with.  Its kinda stunted me a bit, shocked me and I had to rethink, got a bit down on the news.
I am back at things this week, feel very fragile which I am not used to now for a very long time so my ego has taken quite a beating more than anything but I am moving forward and the info is in my 08 journal.
prob not doing that challenge now either........I have to re learn my limitations now and how I can train, my boundaries are now going to be new and different.  I now have to use pain as a threshold, whereas before I did not - I actually have to stop pushing through pain, and train with more support / machines etc..............my core is the strongest I know but now I have to go beyond that due to this new issue.  I await a few more xrays to see if there is more.

Linda.

Hey!  How's everyone doing!  I've been posting in my journal and not paying any attention to this.....  Hope everyone's doing well.  Me, I'm trying to keep "clean".  I have a few days where I'm great and then, boom, off the wagon.  It seems like it's a weekly thing to get back onto the "clean eats' deal.  I like how I look and feel, but with this crappy weather and my mood ( crappy time finding a job...argh), I'm not putting in the effort I'd like....and it's showing.  (Not a good thing...)

My off is getting less frequent than my "on" days not at least, so we'll see how my bodyfat pinch goes here......

Take care everyone.
The WFH
