Roll Call 3/27/09 FRIDAY!!!

Happy Friday everyone! Have a great day and an even better weekend.

This thread is so positive I love reading it! Everyone is losing, eating right, and doing cardio. I am on day 5 of induction, I ate too many carbs yesterday, and I have the never ending cold so I have not been getting out to walk. All that aside I am still down 6 pounds as of yesterday and I am feeling good today!

Holding the line, day 4 no cheats!

Felt really bad on day2, very tired, headache all day on day 3. Bit better today though.

I've decided to change my weigh in day to Fridays...my logic behind this is that all day today I've been thinking about how I will have time to do some great workouts this weekend...and then in the back of my mind I think "but it will make me gain for Monday's weigh in if I do too much"...which makes me start thinking maybe I shouldn't do anything. Clearly...not a good thing. So...If I use today as my weigh in day, then I won't have that lame excuse to fall back on going forward for not utilizing my free time over the weekends to exercise harder than I do during the week. I realize that the exercise, if done consistently, shouldn't affect my overall trend...but it's a psychological thing.

So...that said...today's weight was 279.5...I'm claiming it.

I bought a new scale! I just got it though...can't wait to try it out tomorrow. It supposedly tracks % of body fat and hydration...which would be very interesting to see next time I forget a water pill. LOL...it was only $25 at costco! Way better than the Bed Bath and Beyond deal I was waiting for.

Here. Still stuck at that +1 pound. Part of me wishes I'd checked the calendar and perhaps not started induction right before my TOM. Oh well. Probably better overall that I just started, no matter when.

Maybe it will fall off again (with a few friends) once my period starts?

I think I'm going to find some jeans that haven't fit in awhile and use that as inspiration.

Just checking in. I have been super busy.

TGIF....

I will check back in tomorrow.

Julie Lives!

I think I got over the Alaska flu also. I was able to find time for an hour and a half in the gym tonight. I doubled up with chest and abs. I'm afraid to step on the scale due to water retention. I feel all puffy because of the creatine. I finally finished the 5 day loading phase, but this is the first day I've been able to work out. I really do feel a difference. I've used it in the past and it has always led to big gains in the gym, but I've never used it and weighed in every day. If I gain too much I'll ditch it. All of this is coupled with a week off of my 3 day a week cardio classes. I've had duty this week, so no time to PT. I'll try to catch up this weekend.

I'm doing ribeyes for dinner tomorrow night. All of this talk this week about good steaks got me craving one or six.
