Workout Accountability: Friday
Good Morning and TGIF!
Exercise didn't go as planned because my yoga dvd was acting up - so it turned out into a 'little bit of this, little bit of that' workout between my own cardio and then some of the yoga balance and floor work.
As for today and the weekend...
Today is a rest day and a tough one not to go over calories as we're planning on going to the Phillies game tonight (rain pending.) At least I always offer to DD because it automatically helps cut down a bunch of calories, but the soft pretzels...yum.
Tomorrow is a wine tasting (again, weather pending) and then I promised FI we'd go see Batman. Tomorrow also starts day one of phase three - eep!
How are you all doing, and what's on tap for the weekend?

Re: Workout Accountability: Friday
Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.
Im feeling much less grumpy today than I was yesterday...wow that was bad!
Last night FI and I went to our first pick up baseball game..we had loads of fun!
I have not played since I was a kid (same with FI) so my goals were to catch a ball and make contact with the bat and hopefully not break or bruise any part of me....Success across the board.
This weekend FI and I do not have plans (first time in ages!) so we are going to spend our time sleeping and throwing a ball around for practise.
One other thing: :last night we saw a lot of friends that we havn't seen in ages who were blown away at how trim Fi and I are since the last time they saw us. It was almost embarrassing because they kept complimenting us. Its great motivation to keep going
p.s. does anyone find themselves always getting super hungry around that time of the month? I am freaking starving! ugh!

Wow you guys all sound to be doing so great!
Question: How many calories am I supposed to be eating once I start working out? I have been eating ~1200. One of my coworkers told me that once you start working out you need to add however many calories you will be burning to accomodate your body so it has that 1200 in your system otherwise your body will go into startvation mode. i.e. burn 600 calories by walking that day you should be eating 1800 calories.... Idk she confused me and I start my workout routine Tuesday and I don't want to go backwards!
Today is spent still with my niece and nephew. Yesterday we were going to go to the zoo to get out and move but my FI got home to late so we went to a waterfall instead! The kids went swiming and we walked up and down 350 steps! I figure its better than nothing! Tonight we will take them to the zoo so that will be extra walking and lifting (they have to see the animals somehow!)
Then this weekend is my last days off before I go back to work (school social worker) so I am super anxious and I just have to make sure not to turn to food, my OLD comfort. I looked hard for a new job this past summer but it didn't happen so now I am going back to stress. I am hoping to turn exercising into a stress relief thing b/c when I work I get so stressed I get sick. Dreading it!
Oh! I almost forgot! Sorry... I know mine get kinda long!
Weigh in!
7/13/12 -- 212 lbs
7/20/12 -- 206 lbs! SUPER EXCITED!
Today I'm heading into work for an earlier shift than my usual, so that kind of throws my day off a little but it will be fine. We have my mom's birthday supper tonight after work so perhaps just snacking at lunch to the point where I'm not hungry anymore will allow me to eat a slice of the cake I made for her! Luckily she likes it with no icing, so that helps cut down the cals!
Went on a 2 mile run last night around 9:40, and it felt great. It was the best temperature outside, and I was able to run faster than I usually do so that felt good too! Woot! Happy weekend everyone!
Weighed in an extra time this week and still have those extra mystery 2lbs hanging around. I did just get my period though, so I am hoping by next week I will head back in the right direction if I don't blow it at parties this weekend...
[QUOTE]I'm proud of myself because I actually did something yesterday :) I ran 3 miles. That's funny to me since I used to run very long runs and would have zero issue... 3 seemed like it was about 16 miles. My time was actually still pretty great so that was good, it just didn't "feel" good. My eating was also good and I felt a bit better belly-wise yesterday after not starting out the day with dairy, and same for today. I have a migraine and I'm dying for some coffee to help it.<strong> I can't drink coffee without skim milk so I'm just trying to deal with it by medicating myself every 4-6 hours lol.</strong>

I don't know why you can't have dairy but I'm lactose intolerant. Have you thought about trying almond milk? For a glass of unsweetened almond milk it is 60 calories. I use the vanilla flavor for my cereal and it is amazing. Not exactly the same consistancy but it is much better than forgoing the things I love.
Souptin- Congrats on all the compliments! Sometimes it gets weird to hear it all, but you worked hard for the recognition, enjoy it girl!
Mari- Good luck tomorrow at your race!!
This weekend will be a big workout weekend with lots of swimming and yardwork. We don't have anything planned as far as BBQ's or anything, so I'll take advantage of that and eat healthy and swim my butt off! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

<div>I have had almond milk in the past but I never go through enough of it to consider buying it. I always end up throwing it out. Also, I'm not a coffee drinker at all unless I'm incredibly tired or on the occasion that I get a headache. I just had regular tea and though not as strong as coffee I think it did the trick.</div>
