TEAM SKINNY 03/01/08 (March Madness) (Page 28)

excatly why i didn't post - don't think a 3 lound loss in one day counts...sadly

Thanks Josh.

How come all (okay 3 so far) my skinny's come to Vegas and I have yet to meet one?  hmmm.....I swear I take a shower every month. 

Ideal,  It happens quite a bit here.  Weight is down and them Wed comes and whammo.  Relax and enjoy the ride.

If anyone wants to post a Monday EOM weight I will be happy to track it.  You still have to weigh in on Wed though...

That da#$ town. I went there the beginning of this month. Spent two solid days eating crap and slouched up against the mighty craps tables. Now granted it was a  very profitable trip ($3000 or so) but as a result we have traveled to the local casino a half dozen times since then.

I have been on a very good roll. Up another $2000 since then but it is not good for my eating to be playing craps and hitting the buffett.

So we went last night and said it is the final time for a while. It is tri season now and time to shed those unwanteds again.

Hang in there cead.  We were all there at one point or another.  I've never been an athlete, but now my students call me runner girl and when I see them in the gym they tell me what an inspiration I am.  So, you'll get there, keep at it!!  Baby steps... even though sometimes it seems like we'll never run more, faster or lose enough weight. 

Oh....and take a bite of the Easter egg stuff and then chuck it.  I can't keep that stuff around or I will eat it sooner or later. 

Fone:  Isn't it fricking' amazing how that happens.  I can almost guarantee that some point this weekend I will be 148, but NOT on a Wed.

Steph:  SHARE!!!  Get some friends together and share that way you are being nice and considerate WITHOUT eating it all. 

Cead - maybe runnergirl smiled at you cause she was exactly where you were 5 years ago and wanted to show encouragement (it's happened to me)  And you DID do your 29 minutes - so what if you walked some of it?  Just keep doing your best.  Not every day is going to be stellar. 

Oh - and take One Long Savoring bite of the Easter Candy and then throw the rest away.  It's really the first bite that's the best anyway.  That is seriously what I have to do.  If it's there I will eventually eat it and then feel disgusted with myself.

Trey - congrats!  Nice weigh in!

Fone  - scales are funny that way.  I think they have a conspiracy going.  And, it might just be that resting for a day let your body let go of the weight.  You need the rest as well as the working out - it's figuring that out all together that makes you insane.

Steph - Do you have a freezer?  An idea would be to stick them in there, and then you could pull them out a bit at a time.  I don't know, for me having stuff in the freezer works a lot better than just in my room or whatever.  OR as saling said  - share them out with your friends.  Eat one or two yourself and that way you can tell the people who gave them to you  that you really enjoyed them.  You don't have to tell them you didn't eat them all.

I think chocolate Easter Candy is from the devil.  I swear, you see stuff at Easter that is just not there any other time of the year and it is GOOD stuff. 

Josh,

As you're finding balanced training with effort/calories/days off is hard to do.  FWIW, I think you are doing really great.  The boot camp thing has made DEFINITE changes in your body.  I'm sorta thinking that if you want to really lose more, you might want to go get a professional BF% test done and if possible your RMR.  I'd bet you're getting close to or under 20% based on your last pix.  And, are you tracking your food at all?  Maybe food journaling for a week or so would help to nail down any trouble spots in your diet.

I'm just sorta throwing ideas out here...
