Moment of truth.....

Posted in Working Out : Feb 28, 2012 3:10pm

Had a horrible day! Horrible day...almost near tears!!! Matter of fact in honesty I did cry..... Normally at this moment I would look to something sweet and chocolate or fried and crunchy for comfort. But I want to break the cycle....I want to lose this weight so instead I am sharing here and I will work extra hard at the weights tonight. I can do this, no matter what I can do this

I just needed to share........

How to handle disappointment?!?!?......

Posted in Working Out : Feb 22, 2012 9:15am

I am about 12 days away from my first goal and I am a little afraid that I am not going to make it. Even though I know this first month was rough, filled with setbacks (some controllable, some not controllable), I can’t help feeling disappointed and I haven’t even gotten to the first goal date.

Which leads me to think…..how will I handle disappointment? Well, this is what I am going to do: Be happy for the accomplishments I did make, find my areas for improvement and move forward. I won’t wallow in self pity; eat a bunch of junk or worst…QUIT. This journey is about me and I ne

Week 1

Posted in Working Out : Feb 08, 2012 3:13am

Whew - week 1 is complete! Woo hoo! Even though it did not go as planned I am still excited and encouraged. I precooked my meals, made protein bars and tried to eat 6 times a day (I can get to five...that last one always gets me). I made a conscious effort to try and do better and I believe it is starting to pay off. I lost 1.8 pounds(I was actually at 241 at the beginning of week 1 but didn't update) and I haven't been to the gym yet.

Speaking of the gym.....I am disappointed that I have not been to the gym yet. Very disa

xmanmike22 Love seeing you making progress! Nice job! May 9, 2012 9:50am

MaryMermaid Hi- I'm doing well, still stuck around my same old numbers. I need to hit the gym harder and eat less junk.Got to get back on track! You look great, just saw your newest progress pics, I really see changes in your mid section, that's awesome! What is your 12 week plan? We do a 12 week thing for chest,we add weight each week and do four sets to failure.I'm adding 5 pounds a week to my bench, my husband adds 25 a week,we can see we are getting stronger.Is your 12/plan weights or cardio or both? May 9, 2012 4:33am

velvet5900 Thanks Shala for your prayers. She's really doing well considering. We're all really happy with her progress thus far. Thanks again! May 8, 2012 6:48am

chunkychic4now Thank You:) I worked hard for it too 7 days a week:) Apr 30, 2012 5:11pm

helenawf Welcome to Bodyspace! So glad you joined us. Hugs, Wendy Apr 27, 2012 8:10am

velvet5900 LOL!!! I know that's right Shala, "Negativity..POOF..BE GONE!" Love it! Thanks for the comment on my blog. Sorry to hear about your parents. I lost my Dad in 2004, it's nothing like losing a parent, so I feel for you. I'm finally at a place where... when I think of him, I just smile and laugh. He had the laugh ever and that rings in my head all the time. I really enjoy our convo's. You take care and Have a Great Working out day. Apr 26, 2012 11:33am

MaryMermaid Hey there- Wanted to tell you I tried the Jacked, sort of...I took a half scoop before Triceps on Friday at like 5 pm. I knew I was going to be staying up late so I thought it would be fun. I took it too close to my workout so it didn't do much for my Tricep routine but I did want to keep going after my last set which is not normal for me! It did make me a bit jittery. Hoping to try it the right way this Saturday in the am ;-) Congrats on your weight loss there, every pound counts! Apr 24, 2012 6:01am

MemphisFinest You're looking great! Keep posting photos! Apr 22, 2012 2:44am

MaryMermaid I sure will keep you posted! I read so many reviews that I want to try it but I LOVE MY SLEEP, don't want to mess that up, lol! Have you bought that stuff yet? I bought the 3-d and keep re-reading the bottle. I'm a wimp! Have a great weekend! Apr 20, 2012 7:33am

UTHOMHULB thx Apr 20, 2012 5:29am

chunkychic4now I'm doing great..Improving my cardio as well and dominating the weights:) Apr 18, 2012 8:10am

chunkychic4now How is the weight training going? Hopefully well...:) Apr 16, 2012 4:28pm

velvet5900 Thanks Gurl!! I used to be a binge weekend eater too (still difficult during our SPECIAL TIME of the month ;o), but what I found to help me in the beginning was keeping a journal of my eating and the times I'm suppose to eat (it took some getting used to eating 5-6 times a day) lol! Which program are you on? Yes, I gotta keep working on those abs.. quite exciting... TOTAL MOTIVATION to keep going! You have a good one, I'm off to the gym! Apr 16, 2012 9:27am

Drewcost22 where you been girly! Apr 16, 2012 9:26am

velvet5900 Thanks Lady! I truly appreciate it! ***wink, wink*** Apr 16, 2012 9:14am
