Fitness after 4

If you're on an antibiotic, your body is probably fighting off some nasty or another - so I'd suggest waiting to weigh in when you're free if that bacteria.
 
Missy! Sounds like a crazy life you have right now!! YIKES! Take it easy and don't overdo! As far as the whining is concerned, have no fear....I do the majority of it around here! :p
Keep it up! You can do it! (So can I!)
 
Thanks Stingo and Wendy, I hate being sick lol. It really makes me angry lol. I am sick of coughing and cranky about it lol. Oh well, I know I am whiny, but it is helping me feel better!

Wendy, great job, have some ideas on your first chapter, but if you don't want them I understand. If you do, let me know and I will send my comments your way ;-)

Let's see, ended up not getting rid of my cough and now have a nice case of bronchitits and strep throat. Been eating horribly as well. I need to get back on track. I started antibiotics yesterday for the strep and hopefully they will be working by tomorrow. I am really not impressed with myself these days. We have had so much going on I can barely think straight. I really need to make some time for myself. Hopefully will restart my diary in a day or two. Right now I am using it as a private pity party, no one else would listen :-(
 
What a week! I spent Wednesday -Friday at the hospital with my five year old for dehydration. She is thankfully much better now. To top it off, I am still sick, beginning to wonder if the antibiotics are working well. If things go well I hope to start working out on Monday. Obviously eating at the hosital didn't help me as far as eating right goes. I have lost weight, but I am thinking it may be muscle weight :-( Really could stand a break from life as I know it :(
 
Maybe you should take a break - even if for an hour or two to get a breather... Hope things let up and that you get better soon.
 
THanks Stingo,

Just woke up from a 3 hour power nap, my daughtr is still sleeping:) I am hoping this is a good sign.

Wow Missy I'm sorry you and your daughter have been sooo sick! :( Don't stress about diet and workouts right now. Just get better, and THEN you can think about all those other "extras"!
 
Well, let's see. This is the first I have posted in quite some time. I am finally feeling better and getting back into the swing of things again. I am starting over now. I don't think I have done much right in the last couple of weeks, but I am feeling better so I guess all I can do is start again.

Today I have eaten:
Breakfast bar 220 calories. It was a zone bar, not the best choice, but as I ate nothing it was better than that. I have not eaten breakfast in about 3-4 weeks. I thought that making the effort to eat was a good start.

Snack I missed do to meetings and a final exam, I plan to pack a snack tomorrow.

Lunch was fast food due to lack of planning. I had a Soft Taco Supreme, which comes in at:
Soft Beef Taco Supreme - 260 calories, 14 fat grams, 22 carb grams

Snack will be at home. Not sure what yet, but definately better than packaged food.

I am planning to workout later this afternoon. I will be making dinner here which will be healthy. My calorie goal should be around 1200, not sure I will make it today, but tomorrow for sure.

Life wise I am very busy but keeping up somehow. Now I need to catch up on everyone here, hopefully you all are doing better than I have ;-)

Yesterday went as planned until evening when I was supposed to exercise. I did do alot of cardio type activity all day. I also drank all my water Woohoo!My youngest got hit in the face accidently with the baseball bat (older sister was practicing with a batting trainer) We spent the night in the emergency room. They were concerned she may have ruptured her eye, luckily it was just a nasty shiner.


To top things off my kids school bus got side swiped by a tractor that was attemptin a tight turn. Thankfully no one was injured, but this stuff is enough to give me an ulcer.

Breakfaast: one egg, toast
Snack: Cheese and teaspoon p.butter.
Lunch: Tuna with salad, apple
Snack: light yogurt/cereal combo, they are actually quite good!
Supper: TBA...need to go to the czar
Snack slice p. butter bread

We also registered for Kindergarden last week. Here is a pic:
 
Ah the days of kindergarten. Ash loves it. She loves to ride the bus home, so she can't wait until next year so she can ride it to and from school. To her that's the best thing since sliced bread...:D What's the yogurt/cereal combo? Did you find anything off the zaar?
 
Thanks shellsy and She. I am a lttle biased when it comes to my babies.

The cereal and yogurt combo is Light and Fit by Dannon. Haven't been to the czar yet, will do this afternoon ;-)
 
I haven't been able to post. I am a little busy with work and baseball. Today I have done okay so far food wise. I am hoping to go for a run this evening when I get home. I have been very active but not exercising like I would like. I have tried to focus on my food as well, but ball games make it tough, need to start taking a cooler with me.

Weight today was 132lbs, which I am thinking is high due to some salt intake, will se tomorrow. Hoping to see 130lbs by next Monday. My goal is 125lbs by June 1st.

Food today:

breakfast bar (high protein)
coffee

fish
broccoli soup
water

apple

Supper:

Dish to pass at church (??????)

Snack, slice p. butter bread.

That's all for now.

Missy, thank you sooooo much for that email. I tried responding, but I'm not sure it went thru or not. Check your email and let me know.

Hmmm...125 for the 1st of June....I think that will be my goal as well. And then 120 for July 27th. LOL
 
Well, let's see, good new is I hit my goal of 130lbs. I am not sure how as I didn't meet my food or exercise goals, but this is a new week. I think my hec tic schedule is burning calories lol, If I would eat right and exercise I think I would be even more succesful.

Today I have done fair. I really need to pack a lunch though. I had a Detour protein bar(200 cal) for breakfast as I overslept. They look pretty good , a little more processed than I like, but made with whey protien and they taste good. Missed my snack. Had Salad with Chicken for lunch, regular salad dressing, so about 400 calories. For a snack I had 2 teaspoons of p.butter, about 200 calories. So I am at 800 going into supper. I have also been working on water intake as well.

Workout today:

Total body weight lifting I attempted to create my own routine based on reading ;-), plus abs. I was ussing the BFL guidelines, but decided to switch. It went something like this (most exercises done using two dumbells):

Squats 50X10X3
Deadlifts 50X10X3
Curls 20X10X3
Triceps (One dumbell overhead) 25X10X3
One arm rows 20X10X3 (each arm)
Bench press 40X10X3
Core exercise for lower back (looks like superman flying) 10X3

Sit-ups
Crunches 20
Crunch twist to side 12 each side
Bicycles 20
Crunches with legs straight 20

Feel free to make any suggestions I really was just trying to balance things. In a perfect world I would go to a gym and have a trainer. Instead I am on my own :) I own a set of dumbells that goes from 5-50lbs in increments of 5lbs. and a weight bench. I have to make what I have work.


Tomorrow I am going to do elliptical for 30 minutes if I can squeeze in somewher. I may have to get up at 4:30 to pull it off :-(, but that's life for a few more weeks.

Wendy,

I did get your email and will be sending a reply .
Missy
 
CONGRATS Missy!!! YAY!!! Great job! Keep staying positive and you will only get better results! :D And as Stingo said, "doing something is better than doing nothing at all." Do some kind of physical excercise and it will pay off.
