Good morning healthies

I tried very hard to come up with an excuse for not going to Curves this morning. I ran through:
  • I'm really, really tired
  • I haven't washed my hair and it looks a little icky
  • I really have soooo much work to do for work
  • I have been really good about going and I deserve a break
  • I'm already hot and sweaty and I'm gonna feel really icky after working out

...and then I kicked my own butt, went in, and did my circuit.

I feel much better about it now.

Sounds like me yesterday.
I did not see my trainer yesterday, but the
Russian was there. I have to get up the nerve to ask if he'll
take me on......we saluted each other and I went about
my circuit in silence until I almost fell off the machine
you do the pull ups on, 200 lbs of weights
came crashing down when my leg got stuck -
everyone there stopped, rushed over and asked if I was ok.....
I was sooooooooooo embarrassed......

Waist measurement is down one inch even. I'm cautiously thrilled. It seems like a lot for just 9 nine days, but I've had a VERY physical week.......sooooo.....maybe there's something there.

I'm going to ignore the scale this go-round. I got all wrapped up it last time, and it started bumming me out after a while. I really do want to drop 20 pounds, but I'm hyper-focused on my belly (could very well be a vanity thing???).

OMG I really do have this problem, so I sympathize with you. I've always thought up every excuse in the book for not getting a workout in but really we don't have any excuses, we just think we do ........... its mind over matter. I've given so many people this advice and am just not starting to take my own advice, so far so good

I know all about getting wrapped up in the numbers on the scale etc because its so widely used and everyone tells you to use that to gauge how well your doing. I'm trying to use how my clothes fit, how much better I feel as a better way of really telling if I'm doing things right

Another measurement for me is how others react to me
who have not seen me in a while.....
Jest saying.....

Ahhhh....what a stressful day!

JustJo, I have those days. A lot. I am not always successful at talking myself into doing my workout. You should be giving yourself mega kudos today!

JoSchmooze...Wow! You are okay right? I have not done that in a long time, but something similar has happened to me. The thing that embarrasses me all the time, is when I am pushing, and pushing, and pushing, and then either my left leg collapses while I'm doing an exercise or my right arm poops out. My trainer tries to catch me pushing too far, but I don't let him see my pain or exhaustion sometimes. I'm bad like that, I am mean to me sometimes.

I am generally pretty good at keeping myself from eating bad food, I don't eat because I am depressed, stressed, angry or happy. But today, Gaige was being good to her employees, and was telling me about buying them dinner tonight, some of them chose Taco Bell, and while she was telling me this, I pulled into a Taco Bell, and then went "WTF am I doing?", and drove out again. Close call!

My left leg is hurting pretty badly, as well as my right ankle and left foot. The cute new Sketchers I just bought are probably the culprit, along with about 10 hours of playing with the hacky sack at my desk and pacing the call center in the new shoes today. I have been wearing those Sketchers with the rounded bottom on them for about a year now, so it is likely that I am using different muscles in my legs and feet with the new shoes. So, the pain is not all that surprising.

I also finally gave in, and had a coritisone injection in my right wrist on Wednesday. I have had tendinitis for nearly a year now, and I'd finally just had enough of the pain. So, my blood sugar has been fluctuating, and I'm having some pretty miserable blood sugar related hot flashes. It hasn't really made much difference, a little less stiffness, but now my forearm is all jacked up. What is that about? Can't a woman just get a little relief??

Tomorrow there will be no sleeping in, I'm off to do a clean up with SOLVE and do some replanting at Dairy Creek.

Sorry about all the whining. I am just having one of those days. Thank you for listening.

No, I am okay....
Sometimes my replaced knee doesn't flex all the way
and I end up with like my leg caught up underneath
my butt......Just embarrassed, thass all......

Hang in there and KUDOS for driving right away from the Taco
Bell......I am fixating on rocky road ice cream from
Baskin Robbins right now....dammit!!
