No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!

Really need some hugs.

So this weekend... Idk I thought I did good. I guess not because the scale is telling my Ive gained. This upsets me. I am sad. I have cried about it already and no I am not over it. I did work out to my weights today and I did my ab work. Tonight I should do some sort of Turbo Fire. It is honestly the last thing I want to do right now. I guess Im mostly upset because I know that if I want to keep my weight dropping I have to consume about 500 calories a day. On the weekends it is almost impossible. I guess that is going to be my next challenge trying to eat the same amount of calories on the weekend as I do during the week.

I feel like I just took all that hard work the past two weeks and gave it the huge finger. Oh hey 5 lbs its awesome that you went away now im going to sit on my cow ass and eat some girl scout cookies. Why in the fuck do I make the decisions I make. KNOWING that I cannot be doing that. Im not saying Im giving up but I am saying this is hard and it makes my heart hurt sometimes. The End.

Just an update... I did work out to Turbo Fire Sculpt 30. Only 20 minutes but still.

Also did Turbo Fire Abs 10. Great workout Damn My abs are burning. Another every other day video for sure.

Im feeling a little better. I can still see my muscles getting more defined I need to stop boo hooing about the damn scale number. Something I am going to have to work on.

I've seen the progress pics and you look FANTASTIC. How about what hubby said about seeing the hip bones? The loss of 1/2 inch off each arm? You keep up that hard work and you will be losing like crazy.

Comment by Kaki Bennett on February 5, 2013 at 8:51pm: Paula is right, I've seen the pictures, too. We all have days like this...FORGIVE yourself. What if a really close friend of yours had written this post? What would you say to her? Be kind to yourself and think about how much you've already accomplished. I know advice is easy to give...I learn the same lessons over and over again, too. It IS hard, but don't give up. Did you read Keem's comment on someone else's post? She said, "Just because you drop one egg doesnt mean you say 'screw it' and throw the other 11 in the floor." (I paraphrased) I love that!

Cheer up kido. There are going to be days like this. Get back up on the horse and ride.

Comment by Connie Peters on February 6, 2013 at 6:06am: You are probably loosing inches and gaining some muscle - you're doing great - don't beat yourself up!

Comment by Keem on February 6, 2013 at 8:48am: Please excuse my bluntness, but, You're Doing It All Wrong!!! :( 500 calories a day isn't nearly enough and then all that exercise on top of it puts you in a caloric defecit and your body is in starvation mode and is fighting you on the weight loss. Totally BTDT.

So--what are you going to do if you continue to do as you're doing now (and just ignore me) and the number on the scale still doesn't budge? Are you going to give up? Are you going to continue for months and years even if the number stays the same?

In many ways, I see the same pattern with you as far as doing extreme eating/exercising and being thrilled with the results and frustrated when they don't come fast enough. Look at the whole thing as a journey---a LONG journey--a LIFETIME journey and know that even if we get the body of a supermodel from the ways we do, if we can't maintain that eating/exercise level for the rest of our lives, the weight WILL come back....so the trick is to do something we can live with and be happy with for the rest of our lives-and the weight won't come off overnight--but it will come off and it will stay off.

One more thing--some food for thought--I understand being focused....being motivated....but, if life is so focused or too focused on weight loss/exercise/calories in vs calories out/the number on the scale, you sort of deprive yourself of some of the joys in life. (one example would be if eating too few calories made me moody, then I would be making things unpleasant for those around me and depriving me of the positive interactions with them)

My advice: Slow down with all of it---and rethink your game plan. :)

I am so sorry that you are feeling beat down about this. I am in total agreement with Keem on this one. I feel like you are running this race as a high intensity sprint. You gotta make this last another 90 years or so. You have amazing fire and attitude--you have to keep those fueled with more than 500 calories. I'd shoot for closer to 1500 or so. You will have to play around with what kinds of food will keep you satisfied and losing weight--but it is doable!

Comment by fit4life on February 6, 2013 at 1:07pm: Perhaps you meant to say 500 calories LESS a day???

Comment by Honeybun on February 6, 2013 at 6:08pm: ***Hugs*** and ***More Hugs*** We got you, don't stress it.

Comment by Jill Mace on February 7, 2013 at 8:20am: What everyone said above! HUGS!! Try not to beat yourself up. It really only makes things worse for ourselves. We are human. We move on. (remind me of this when I am beating myself up) :) xoxoxox

Really need some hugs.
