Workout Accountability: Thursday

Morning everyone - One day closer to the weekend!

Scale is STILL not down, even after a butt-kicking workout last night.  I have a feeling today's 'lack of loss' might have something to do with the unplanned stress of having to threaten Macy's multiple times last night while I was on the phone with them for nearly an hour.  They really are a terrible company, and even after it was resolved I was still so fuming mad and overly stressed for the entire rest of the evening.  I'm still mad at them this morning.
(very brief synopsis - second time they'e screwed up a gift card we got, and then told me there was nothing they could do about the $180 they charged to my Macy's card instead of the GC.  second time I've also found that if you start blowing a gasket on them, they're magically able to remedy the problem in about 30 seconds.  lazy arses.)

Anyway, today is kenpo and normal eating, and the scale had better drop after today or I'm going to start threatening it, too.  :)  I'm doing a morning workout in just a few minutes since FI accidently woke me up on his way out, so I figured I'd take advantage of the extra time.

Hope everyone has a great day!

  • Morning Lobsters! To answer your question from the other day, I'm probably not taking in the extra calories I'm burning off. While we get docked 30 mins for lunch, the only breaks we get are driving between houses and shoving whatever food we can down in those few minutes. We also aren't allowed to eat or drink in the customer's homes, which means I'm not even allowed to bring in water (screams OSHA violation to me but whatever...) so I'm probably not hydrating enough either. I eat when I can when I'm hungry but I'm not starving all the time and I feel wierd eating when I'm not hungry just to put more calories into my system. Scale was up 1.5 pounds this morning but we'll just blame the monthly bloat on that one ;)

  • No working out again last night.  I went out to a bar with a friend and had a few beers and tried to stay semi-healthy by choosing a veggie burger.  It was delicious.  I'm hoping to get back on track tonight but we will see how it goes.  My stomach is giving me a little bit of grief.
  • @Ibarr - sorry your stomach is still giving you issues! I hope you feel better soon.

    Last night wouldn't usually have been a gym night, but they were giving away passes for non-gym members to attend the Les Mills body combat class for free because they were going to intro a new routine. I ended up going with a co-worker of mine. I was glad to get the cardio in, because work has definitely been stressing me out the last couple of days.

    Tonight is gym night - hoping to actually drag FI along so he can get some cardio too.

  • Morning everyone!

    Yesterday was just awful all round, didn't eat super healthy and didn't exercise. Bleh, but since the weekend I've lost the 2lbs I gained from my bachelorette! Today I did a ballet sculpting video before my weekly meeting and I'm going for a walk with a friend after work. We are walking on a track though (she had bears in her yard last week and is worried about walking the road) so I'm a little worried it wont be as hard of a workout since its flat.

     I went grocery shopping yesterday so I feel like my eating will be much better because I have healthy things to eat now! Does anyone have any good zuccini recipes they want to share? My garden has more than I can possibly eat with them just sauteed.

    [QUOTE Non-scale victory:  I'm wearing a dress to work today that I haven't been able to wear in three years - even then it was a little small on me.  So I feel like a success!

    Woo hoo! Happy for you!

    @lobsters- if the threatenting works on your scale you will have to host classes ;)

    Already got a 2 mile walk in this am, hoping to get back outside later. Eating is going well! I gave up sugar just in time because today is national ice cream sandwich day lol

  • Did the treadmill thing for two miles last night, by the end of the month I want to try to be up to three miles and down an additional 7.5 pounds. (There I said it!  Now I have to do it!) 

    We are getting our engagement pictures taken next month so I would like to be able to go buy some new outfits in smaller sizes! 

    Lobsters-I have a feeling your weight will be down tomorrow!  You work too hard for it not to pay off!  (Maybe it’s just all the muscle you are gaining!) 

    KW- your non-scale victory is awesome!  I love finding stuff in the back of my closet that fits again!

    Ooooh thank you! I can't wait to try those!!
  • Yesterday I didn't feel great so the pup and I only ran/ walked a mile. I felt lame about it but I think I was just dehydrated. 

    Today the dog and I did 4.50 miles, not running the whole time, a lot of walking at the end because it's really hot out. But at least we made up for yesterday's lame-ness! :) 

    I don't check my weight because I'm trying to gain and tone, not lose, but I know I'm up about 5ish pounds (that's gotta be muscle!). Probably the most I've ever weighed so I'm both weirded out and excited.

  • finally worked out last night! i did 30 minutes on the elliptical and it felt awesome. tonight it's back to 10 minute trainer!
  • Worked out last night 30 min tredmil and tried a new machine some floating or skiing machine.  Super weird feeling while working out but today I can definitely feel it in my bum and thighs!  Other than the working out not super great but not awful.  Had noodles last night with a girlfriend but that was better than McDonalds!

    I feel like my first two weeks were amazing but then this last week I feel like I disappointed myself and didn't work out as much or eat as healthy as I could have.  Tomorrow is weigh in and so we will see how that goes!
  • Late post for me today. I went to spin class this morning. I had to leave a little early because I had my trial hair appointment this morning for the wedding which went really well. My eating has pretty much been horrible this week since I can't cook. I'll I've really been eating are veggies and sandwiches and then I find myself binging because I am so hungry. Ugh only 2 more days and I will be moved!

    [QUOTE] entropic, can you talk to me about Les Mills?  I feel like I hear about it a lot but don't even know what it is.  Also, I just realized we have the same wedding day.  Congrats on being 30 days away!

    <div>The Les Mills classes are just really structured, they train the instructors to do certain moves with certain songs so the timing is really specific and it gives you a certain level of activity. I don't know TOO much about them, I only just started going.</div><div>
    </div><div>And hooray for 30 days indeed! Are you stressing out with so little time to go? I know I am.</div>
