Good morning ladies!! We had a bit of a shake up this morning. I got up around 5:25 and had just sat down when my dd (the same one with the concussion) came out from her bedroom and instantly burst into tears saying she didn't feel good. She said her head hurt, her throat was on fire and she was dizzy. I put two and two together because last night she was complaining of being cold, which she typically only does when she has a fever. It was cool in the house so I'd just told her to get a blanket. Well, she runs high on fevers but it was only 102.5 when I took it. It's nothing for her to be 104-105 when she first gets up when she's sick. So I got her a couple of ibuprofen and she got some water. She was standing at the counter getting ready to take the ibuprofen and she had her hands on the counter...and her hands started to spread like she was going to stretch out her upper body onto the counter. Thank God my dh was standing there because I noticed that something wasn't right and said something to him just in time and he caught her as her knees buckled and she fainted. Her twin was freaking the hell out. I had 2 fainting episodes as a kid when I was sick so I made sure to tell my other dd that it does happen and she'll be fine she just needs some water and some meds to work on that fever. My dh got her right to the floor and I grabbed and wet a cloth and got it on her forehead to help cool her a little. She was only out for a very short time. DH carried her to the couch and we got the ibuprofen in her and she's resting now. She said she didn't sleep good last night - was awake on and off all night. Typically, if that happens she comes in and tells me that she can't sleep or she's not feeling well but for whatever reason, she didn't last night. So nothing like that craziness this morning to get my heart pumping. Obviously, my plans for the day are going to be slightly altered. I would normally work out after I take everyone to school but I don't want to leave her upstairs alone for that long. So if I workout, it'll be after the other 2 are home from school so that someone will be with her. I have some housework to do today and I have to make brownies and rice krispies treats for Valentine's parties tomorrow. This is my last year of making treats since my girls will be in middle school next year. My dd that's sick is hugely disappointed that she probably won't be going to school tomorrow and will miss her party. I told her no worries, we'd throw a little party here and she can have some treats. Breakfast: oatmeal & coffee Lunch: salad & fruit Dinner: FlatOut pizzas and salad I hope you all have a great day!!

Oh my goodness, how scary for your DD. I hope her fever comes down and she's able to sleep her way through the day and feel better later in the day.
My plan for today is to workout this am. I've been much more intentional about what I'm eating this week so hopefully I'll be able to keep on track on that as well,
Emelle

Oh gosh, that must have been so scary (and her poor sister - aaawww <3). Hope the fever drops soon I started by day with a hill training. I don't have hills in my neighbourhood, so I put on my running clothes and drove to this giant bridge over the river Amstel in Amsterdam. Stormed up (and jogged down) 8 times. Then I went to work, had a shower there, and was at my desk in a more or less presentable manner at 9 :-p Breakfast was two pancakes with peanut butter and honey. Snack was a cup of strawberry yoghurt Lunch was a cheese/cucumber sandwich on whole wheat I brought some cherry tomatoes for that 4 o clock hunger attack and I'm not sure what Dh is cooking up for dinner today

I sure hope your daughter gets better quickly!
I jumped on this thread because last spring I had a goal to lose 40 pounds by now and I saw photos of myself taken over the weekend and I can see that my holiday indulging was out of control. I knew that I was not meeting my goals and I haven't been trying, but all my hard work from May to Dec is gone. My pants aren't loose. My knee hurts. My energy sucks.
So I am starting a new day and dragging myself back onto the path of health and knowing that you all who are actually doing it will prop me up.

Well I am having issues again with the up and down. I ate chips and salty foods on Super Bowl Sunday. Had smaller portions but still had mac and cheese and buffalo chicken dip and a brownie. SO as of yesterday I lost all the weight from my splurge. I know some of it was water retention.
However, I am getting a little down that I can put on 5 lbs overnight and take 3 days to drop it. I have been eating well since Sunday. Trying to cut back on carbs and staying with protein and vegetables.
I have also been going to the gym and walking on the treadmill for two miles at like a 3.5 pace and doing 2 miles on the elliptical in a 1/2 hour and have just started trying to do some arm weights on the machines. Still pretty intimidated to go over to the weight area. Not sure how most of the machines work and pretty self conscious. However, I know I should not be. I am going to a Y and most everyone is nice and not macho gym people.
This is the first time I have added exercise to my weight loss program and apparently had unrealistic ideas of how much faster it would help me to lose weight.
Sorry for the ramble

I am very sensitive to excess carbs, sugar and salt. I can put a few lbs on quickly but it takes a lot of work to take it off. In the past I would just keep adding to it, so it is good that I am at least maintaining now. But, it would be nice to see some forward progress soon.

Not sure how most of the machines work and pretty self conscious. However, I know I should not be. I am going to a Y and most everyone is nice and not macho gym people. First, I am so with you. It's amazing how quickly we can gain, and how slowly it comes off. Just keep sticking to it. Consistency is the key! Don't let yourself get defeated. Second, about the weight area, there is nothing to be afraid of! Walk in there like you own the place. If you need assistance on weight machines, I know the Y provides a free orientation. Do not be self conscious. I lift weights 4 times a week on average, and have for years, and I can tell you that the weight area of the gym is a welcoming place and we are not staring at other people or judging. I'm just glad when I see other women in there. Building muscle is so important, and you will love the results. You got this!

Brandy - so scary! I'm glad y'all were right there with her. Poor kid. Can I vent for a minute? I HATE February when it comes to taking care of myself. Last week I was traveling, but I went to WW while I was in Florida on Saturday, and I was up .6 pounds. I was eating out most meals, so a lot more sodium than usual, so I wasn't upset by that. I applied for and was accepted into a private "Cize" challenge with Shaun T (creator of Insanity) which started on Monday. Monday I was on the road and did workout #1, then went to a client dinner and proceeded to have 2 glasses of wine AND 2 pieces of bread....because I was starving by the time our meeting was over, and not thinking. I traveled home on Tuesday and ended up working an 18.5 hour day. No workout. Then yesterday was another 13 hour day. No workout. Today will be crazy at work and running errands, then packing for an 11 day trip tonight that starts at 6am tomorrow morning.I won't be home until Feb. 22. I can do some workouts while I'm there, but I'm sharing a room with a coworker for at least the first 4 nights -and it's hard to Cize it up in front of an audience. Couple that with LONG work days, and eating out every night....and I'm just frustrated that I was doing so good but always face so many roadblocks in February. And March isn't looking a whole lot better right now! ETA: today is supposed to be my weigh in day. My scale shows me up about 1 pound. So that's almost 2 pounds in 2 weeks. But I'm not weighing in today b/c I don't have time! But I am determined to have success this time, so I promise to do my best. I HAVE to. I had to video myself doing Cize the other day and ewwww....I know what I look like, but watching myself on video dancing in a tank top and yoga pants was just....depressing. Thanks for letting me vent. I want this. I need this. I have to make it work and not gain 5 pounds in the next 2 weeks.

Wow! What a morning! I am so sorry she is feeling so crappy, and will miss her party. Hugs and prayers for a quick recovery! I will be doing Yoga tonight. DH is supposed to go with me, but he's not feeling well, either, so I may be going alone. My brother is coming to stay for a few days starting tomorrow evening, so not sure how next week will look.

Hope she is feeling better soon. I just about hurt myself on the treadmill. I was drinking with my tervis (no lid) and a little water splashed out. All of a sudden it was really slippery and I tripped. Yikes! Will use a different water bottle from now on. Any suggestions for one that actually keeps drinks cold? Love my tervis for that. I am going to get some new weights. Not sure if I should get 8 or 10 lbs?

Wow! that is super scary! I hope your dd feels better soon! My day started out crappy, but nothing like that! After getting dressed, I went downstairs to pack my lunch and also to grab a box of test strips, since I only have one left. Well, I knocked over a drink on my coffee table, so I was scrambling to get that cleaned up. I packed my lunch and then ended up forgetting to grab a new box of test strips. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but I just started a new CGM (continuous glucose monitor) sensor and it requires that I test my blood twice in a row. Well, I only have ONE with me. So I turned off my CGM, and now I have to run home during lunch to grab a new box. Oh, and my washer is broken. Well, not the washer itself, but the knob can't be pushed in or pulled out, so I can't start it and DS has no clean clothes left. Hopefully I can get someone out today to fix it. ANYWAY, vent over LOL! I have Orangetheory tonight and tomorrow is a rest day. Breakfast: egg cups + strawberries Lunch: turkey marinara with zoodles Dinner: no idea but probably leftove turkey marinara with zoodles

I hope your daughter feels better, Brandy! That would freak me out.
I joined WW last week and have my first weigh in today. I'm nervous to see what their scale says. At home in my undies it says I've lost 7 pounds this week. Yay! If I lose 10 pounds in the first 2 months, I get them free. So, I'm crossing my fingers.

And 10 pounds in your first 2 months is definitely do-able. I've had a couple of big drops and I'm not to 2 months yet!

I hope your DD feels better. Luckily you were there to help before she hurt herself by fainting.
I did Chalean extreme again. I need to go buy some heavier weights though. I have 2 & 3 kg so the most is 6.6 pounds. I need to decide if I should get a set or continue with the rubber coated women's weights. I do have a 4 & 6 kg (13 pounds) kettle balls.
My eating has been ok today Breakfast - 1 hardboiled egg plus 2 whites Lunch - BLT sandwich plus a mandarine Orange Snack - 2 mandarine oranges plus almonds Dinner - veggie soup Plus 2 pieces of chocolate

I'd like to find a dance cardio workout in which I can actually do the moves.

ExpatBackHome - I have Rockin Body as well. I do that one for fun sometimes. I would say that Rockin Body is the baby sister to Cize - Cize is a lot faster, and (in my opinion) harder - but he does spend more time breaking the dances down in segments - but once you put it all together at tempo speed it's HARD! And I grew up dancing so I like to think my rhythm is at least average. But I also get a decent sweat and heartrate going and get a few thousand steps on my fitbit in about 30 minutes, so I keep doing it!

Thanks ladies - she's doing MUCH better this afternoon. With the meds, her temp is normal and she's really perked up. She even said her headache pain from the concussion is only a 4 (it's been running 5-6 the last couple of days). And she's been able to watch tv today...something she hasn't done since before her concussion last week. She's been laying around and watching some movies and resting. I did speak with the doc's office and they confirmed what we thought and that the fainting was caused by the fever. Since the dizziness was very short lived this morning, they believe that was also due to the fever.
I've done ok today on food. The only reason it's only ok is that I caved and had a rice krispies treat with vanilla icing - not a full one though - just a half. But lemme tell you - it wasn't worth it. All of that sugar after not having it for 6 weeks did NOT sit well with me. :/
Breakfast was oatmeal. Lunch was 2 organic brown rice cakes w/pb and some blackberries and the half a rice krispies treat. I ended up not doing the salad...since I'm having it for dinner.
I REAAAAAAALLLLLYYYYY don't feel like working out - but I'm going to force myself once I get the other 2 kids from school.

I did the BBM workout with 5 lb weights today and it was much better than the 3lb. I am going to get 8lbs today and that should be good for now. I still wonder if the actual workouts are long enough but it's a good place to start. I also walked on the treadmill for 30 min.
I wasn't planning for today to be a fasting day but it might end up that way. Didn't have breakfast and just had lunch (spinach salad with some cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers, and leftover taco chicken). Will be making salmon tonight with cauliflower and muffins.

Yay! I was down 6.2 pounds at WW this morning. I know my weight loss will slow down since it was my first week, but I should definitely be able to hit a 10 pound loss in 2 months.
I can't believe how full I get eating my 1350 calories. That has never been the case before. I'm usually starving when I diet. I think the IF really helps me feel satiated. Also, giving up sugar has definitely helped, too.

My workout today sucked. I'm tired and didn't feel like doing anything. But I forced myself to go down and walk on the treadmill for 20 mins. A whopping 126 calorie burn. Yeah, I know you're all jealous.

brandy327 I'm so glad your DD is feeling better this afternoon. And good to hear about her concussion headaches improving, too. I've had a good day so far. I've been eating nice and clean today. I worked out at the gym last night and I'm a little sore, so I think I'll just do a yoga or pilates tape at home.

I'm in a little bit of a conundrum for dinner tonight...I made the kids quesadillas from leftover chicken I had from Monday's dinner. What I didn't think of ahead of time was that it has honey as one of the ingredients and I've given up all added sugar for Lent. Ugh! I think I'm going to make some eggs and toast for dinner. Overall though, a good day. Another staff/dept meeting today...another day to avoid the sugary snacks. Aye! I really didn't realize how many snacks we have when meeting. I think it's to placate us! We can't complain with full mouths now, can we? Ha!

Quick check in before dinner -- I managed to get my 10,000 steps in earlier and do an hour of yoga. The yoga is for my mental health as I pretty much suck (lol) but I spent the whole hour not thinking about all the things that stress me out so I call that a win!
I may have a grumpy husband soon when he finds out we are having spinach and feta cheese omelets for dinner. With a side of apple. Not his idea of dinner but he'll manage without meat. Tonight we lift weights!

Hey everyone! Brandy, fainting is scary but I'm glad she's feeling better! I had a hair appointment after work that took longer than I had hoped, so I missed my class at CrossFit. I'll go tomorrow. At least my hair looks fabulous. My back/hip feel a little stiff in the mornings but for the most part really good. I know the unexpected extra day of rest won't hurt me in the long run and will help me behave when it comes to rehab, lol! Someone made a comment to me today that I look too skinny. "You need an extra cookie or something." I've maintained my weight within a pound or two for the last 4 months. It's hard to hear the conflicting statements of "you look great!" and "you're too skinny". I don't want to be seen as skinny. I want to be seen as strong.

I think a lot of people think that saying you're "skinny" is a compliment. I have a friend who has always been very thin and she HATES being described as "skinny". I agree--being seen as strong is the goal--they just might not have that vocabulary.

When I started I was worried about that too. It took me about 4-6 weeks and then I was like.....ooh, this does work. Seriously transformed my body. 12/14 to a size 2/4. I have muscles. I have tone. I have increased stamina. As the 90 days challenges progress the workouts get more intense.

I did speak with the doc's office and they confirmed what we thought and that the fainting was caused by the fever. Since the dizziness was very short lived this morning, they believe that was also due to the fever. I've done ok today on food. The only reason it's only ok is that I caved and had a rice krispies treat with vanilla icing - not a full one though - just a half. But lemme tell you - it wasn't worth it. All of that sugar after not having it for 6 weeks did NOT sit well with me. :/ Breakfast was oatmeal. Lunch was 2 organic brown rice cakes w/pb and some blackberries and the half a rice krispies treat. I ended up not doing the salad...since I'm having it for dinner. I REAAAAAAALLLLLYYYYY don't feel like working out - but I'm going to force myself once I get the other 2 kids from school. So glad you consulted the doc and she seems to be doing better!
