Shhhhhhh ladies....... WTF?? (Kelly)

Okay so you saw Jenn's post yesterday about us bascially getting "yelled" at by the instructor in spinning well now i'm annoyed because not only are we not kids and I don't need to be told but it's a damn class where the music will make you go deaf.  I know you want it loud but seriously it doesn't need to be that loud....anyway i could have been asking for my damn inhaler so =P   AND really???!!! I pay to go there if I want to practically whisper and sign to Jenn who's right next to me I CAN!!!!   Besides I think I can kick the instuctor's ass!!!!   She's so proud of how she works on the bike but I'd like to see her back it up on a real bike on a real hill.   

Ok i'm done venting....

So I told you I suck at eating good and I do so I like to workout to make up for my bad habits....I know that's not the best balance but it works for me sometimes.  Spinning yesterday morning then 2 1/2 mile walk last night.  Makes me feel better if I do something a little extra when I have the time.  I'm coming to the end of my fall semester so I got some papers due so my time should be spent on them and not working out but gotta work out because it makes me feel better and besides I have two runs coming up - 5miler and  5K.

I hear Jenn's pain about stuggles and feeling bad after weigh-in. I gained this week too and that sucks but I don't get as mad when I know I wasn't perfect with eating and even working out.  I know when I cheat myself so I just try and do better next time.  When I do great all wk and gain that's why I lose it and get mad and frustrated.  Now it's Tuesday and I haven't been an angel eating but I have worked out everyday (not pyscho) so hopefully I'll stay the same this wk.   

Anway I should be working - lots to do at work and with school.....ahhhhhh!!!!!

Struggle...Jenn

Thanks to our few followers that told me that they don't know who is writing me or Kelly. I guess I didn't think of that! LOL!
Monday after the Holidays....I feel fat, sick and tired......I am starting to stress about shopping and money.  But I woke up today and went spinning! Now I didn't even think about this today till I talked to Kelly a little later on....I was talking to Kelly in the beginning of Spinning class and we were warming up,...the instructor was not talking or anything and I(we) think she yelled at us for talking......Ummmm who says I can't talk during a spinning class! She has a microphone on so it isn't like she has to talk over us and we were yelling or anything!! And I don't even remember what i said to her but they were questions it wasn't like we were having an in depth conversation about world peace or something! Any thoughts on that?!
Another thought today.....who eats more when they ovulate? I feel like I am Pms'ing when i ovulate and want to eat everything in sight....But i didn't today and figured out that if I keep the munchies foods out of the upstairs fridge I won't remember that i have it and won't eat it...and I might be too lazy to go down and get it! LOL!
I ma having a hard time getting myself out of my funk...I am not going to come on this blog and tell you that eating healthy and working out , with two kids, is easy.  It isn't! Even without kids...unless you are crazy psycho personal trainer person...working out is not always fun..I try to make it fun....I am now looking to find some other deals on Boot Camps. Nothing too far or crazy $$. I like to spin and want to keep doing that but I am afraid that I am going to get bored with it...I also have to kick my a$$ to run more now that i won't be able to do any runs this month! I know that everyone struggles with eating right and working out! I know that it is easier said then done.....I can preach a good game and then turn around and drink and eat my face off and get fat again! That is something I don't want to do.....ever...ever ever!!! It really does help to have someone tell you that you are doing a good job or that they are proud of you.  It is a HUGE help to work out and go to WW meeting with someone....And we are going to have our days where we don't want to do anything and just be lazy! Give yourself that ONE day only if you know that the next day you will get right back on track and keep going. That is one of my struggles...I had a bad day at the scale and i am now trying to get myself out of my slump......What do I do.....I don't know! Sometimes I get depressed about it and don't want to do anything but eat...Now my goal this week is to take my anger, frustration and depression out by working out! I notice that i feel good after i work out...it makes me feel better about myself!
My advice today.....don't get mad, frustrated....just get back on track and go to the gym and beat out the frustration on the treadmill, weights, pool....anything! JUST GO!!!

Christmas city my a$$.......(Kelly)

So I decided to go to xmas city in Bethlehem PA  today and guess what it sucked.  I mean I guess there was stuff to do at night but the Christkindlmarkt was a bust.  Sure there were some nice things but everything was exspensive and it wasn't big enough for the $8 per person they charged and the hour drive.  The downtown of Bethlehem looked nice but nothing spectacular.  Maybe I missed the whole charm of it because it wasn't night time and there were no lights on yet but I could  have skipped it.   I wanted to get out of the house since I spent all day yesterday inside and I accomplished that but I hoped to walk around more and get in a free workout but instead I was only there about an hour and  had hot choc, funnel cake, and fried pickels.  So much for eating good today (that goes along with the pancakes and bacon I had this morning - told you I'm bad at eating ). 

So since I didn't get in my walking workout and my calves are sore from my 5 mile run yesterday I decided to make  up for  my funnel cake I need to do a tape when I got home.  So tonight I did the Blast Metabolism by Jillian Michaels.  Let me tell you it's hard , it's 45 mins of cardio using just  your body weight so it'll make you want to lose some weight.  You sweat like crazy so it's a great workout.  I actually  like her tapes and I find the 30 day shred (3 - 20 min workouts) an awesome dvd to have if you are looking for one.  They aren't easy at all but it's only 20 mins and EVERYONE has 20 mins.  Anyway I have the combo pack so I have the Blast and trouble zones....today I felt I needed the blast.  Now i'm sitting here with my feet soaking writing this update because the blast kicked my ass which is what i needed to finish out my weekend. 

Off to sign up for some December  races - 5 miler  this upcoming weekend and Jingle Bell 5k the next weekend.  Races are the only thing keeping me running in this cold weather. 

TRy to get back on track!

OK Everyone having a bad day/morning! Yesterday after FA I was pretty down, did not except to see what I did on the scale! My husband asked me how I did and I started to cry, I didn't want to talk about it....I know that is something you shouldn't do, you need to talk about. I instead put frustration and anger out on cleaning up my house decorating and a quick run around my park..1.7 mile.  I am back on track yesterday and today with eating....We had company last ight and I did very good with not eating alot.
The week before last I had a great week, lost and was happy. So this past week I thought I did good, wasn't sure what I did wrong but wasn't happy. After all day stewing about it.....I think that i was feeling invincible(Sp).....I was working out and eating so I didn't have to worry about it. Well I guess it was time that my body said wake the hell up b/c just cause u r working out you still need to watch your portions....Now I don't know if that is what i did wrong but now I am feeling like I have to start from the beginning again!
So when u are having a bad day/week/;month/ year......don't let it get you down just remember to get your self back on track...think about a new beginning!

1,2,3,4....5!!!!!

So I ran 5miles today - only my second time running 5 miles.  It was cold and I was by myself but  I did it in 49mins.  Sometimes you gotta just go out and do it.  I didn't want to go by myself and I had a million excuses I was coming  up with once my partner skipped out on me but I just went and did it.  Sometimes you gotta just shut up and do it - no excuses just run and run I did 5 whole miles!!!!

Here's the thing I was thinking about while I was running today. First god damn it's cold, second why do people (me included) always find ways to get out of exercising when we are busy?  If we are busy we always say okay I won't work out today because I have things to do and that's not an excuse that's real - I'm too busy but WHY??  Working out should be a priority not something you do because you've done everything you wanted to do today.  This is part of the problem with Americans and being lazy or just complacent (sp) about our overall health. I think everyone should try and change the way they look at working out. Sure it's not always fun but it should be part of your day just like eating, showering, making food, cleaning, etc...  When you make a list of things to get done for your day working out should not be something at the bottom to do only if you get everything else done - it should be right up there at the top of the list.  You might have to get up a littler earlier or take a half hour at of the middle of the day but get it done - you know you'll feel better about it when you are done.

I took the rest of the day after the run to take a quick nap and clean my whole house so I could decorate tonight.  Almost everything is done , just need to decorate the tree.

Happy Black Friday!

GGood Morning Everyone I hope you all had a good thanksgiving! I had a great day! Did the gobble wobble in the morning and then it started to snow!!! WHOOO HOOOO! I was very happy! Came home to hang out with my kids an dB made me Breakfast! Watched the parade on TV with the girls and then went to my parents!
So what I want to know is How did everyone do with eating?
I kept my portions small so I could taste a little bit of everything and was full but not over full! That was my goal going into dinner....little bits of everything and then Desert! Which I had a small piece of both pies and they were yummy!!!
I was going to get up this morning and go spinnig but I was too tired b/c Marissa was up over night! But Kelly went and they cancelled all classes for today so I was glad I didn't get up and go! LOL! But we went to the gym and did lots of pool workouts about 40 mins of running and some planks and treading water! And it is tiring....I felt like a nap afterwards! But the sighte you see at the gym pool.....very interesting! I like it b/c it is a litlte mental though..OMG I HAVE TO PUT ON A BAHTING SUIT>><>> so that is a little bit of motivation for me that I put on a bahting suit I have to see myslef like that and want to work harder! I want to be that MILF everyone looks at a the pool in the summer!
Now I am off to work and maybe stop at some places to pick up some present after work. I have three places plus Giant for some munchies for tomorrow!
If anyone who reads this has any thoughts or questions or just want to make a comment please do so!
Have a great day!

Gobble Gobble....pass everything

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!  Off to start the big eating day right....Gobble Wobble 5k in Abington.  It's a big race , last year there was 1200 people and I was about 900. I'd like to do better this year because I've been running a lot more but it's cold and about to (if it's not already) sleet and rain and both my knees really hurt.  So my goal today is to finish and that's good enough.

Enjoy your turkey day!!!!!  Eat everything you want .........
