Who's working out to counteract Thanksgiving?!

goatlady12 · November 2013

I plan on it. I'm facing the side effects of my medication and have gained about 10lbs since Halloween. Ugh, so frustrating!

@seipel12 - I've gained 5 since coming off BC. They just decided to add themselve to the 25 I've gained since the wedding. I have a doctor's appt tonight. I feel shameful I haven't lost, but gained. I'm doing better about working out, having more good weeks than bad, and eating decent. He's really nice and encouraging, but I still feel like a loser.

Oh @mana8503

I hate reading that you feel that way! Don't let it get you down and just stick with what you're doing. Be proud that you've been working out and eating well! If you stick with that plan, you'll see the results soon, I'm sure!

You can do it, Mana! I know it's easy to get discouraged, but think, even if the weight hasn't started coming off yet, you're doing your body right and trying to get it healthy.

Thanks girls! I didn't mean to be a downer. Even my doctoor is all about not looking at the scale, but how clothes feel etc. I need to refocus on the things I can control (working out and nutrition) and not what I can't - the darn scale.

@mana8503 I remember a few weeks ago you mentioning that you felt much better and your clothes were fitting better. You also said that you feel your muscles toning. That is far more important than what the scale say! Don't get discouraged. I know it's hard, those numbers are intimidating. You're exercising the best you can. Little changes make big differences in the long run

So I haven't met my step goal today (but I still have a trip to Costco in my future this evening), but I spent 45 minutes filling in the huge hole we dug over the weekend trying to fix a leak. My back is hurting and I know my arms and shoulders will be sore tomorrow!!

I went to a Pilates class this evening. I feel good after it. Wish I went to the gym, too.

@mana8503 you are in no way a downer, we've all felt like that. We are all lucky to have such a supportive group! 5lbs from going off BC sounds like water weight. Try cutting back on salt for a few days to a week, I bet all 5lbs will fall off quickly. You can use it as an excuse to not eat mountain dew ham...

@seipel12 - thanks! I've been watching soduim, and it's almost always below the amount on MFP. Well, unless H talks me into Chinese. I feel so dehydrated after eating that now, I don't like it as much as I used to. And I've been focusing on water. I've been adding lemon, mint and strawberries and it's YUMMY!

I'll just keep chugging along, something will give soon. Which is pretty much what the doctor said. I'll be the healthiest I can be at his weight! I did get the flu shot at my appt so I didn't feel like it was that much of a waste.

Thanks again girls, I love the support we have on here!

goatlady12 · November 2013

I did an abs and legs workout last night and I am SUPER sore today. Holy crap!

sjs1013 · November 2013

I went to the gym and did 45 minutes, 2.25 miles on the arch trainer. Then I went to Pilates. I had a different instructor and boy did I work out! I have one more class from the Groupon and I will definitely make sure it's with the same instructor. I won't buy more classes though, this place is incredibly over priced.
