'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/14

so sorry I didn't post this weekend.... I was EXTREMELY busy!!!! Got a lot of wedding stuff done, but not quite so good on the diet / exercise side...

friday night I had a giant rice crispy bar as FH ate cheese cake. Afterwards, we didn't feel like cooking or eating too much, so we split nachos from salsa salsa

The rest of the weekend was filled with restaurant food and cake The only good thing to report is that my portions were at least small ....

I'm 98% over my cold, and FH is 90% over his knee injury, so we're going to re-start the exercise routine in a couple days...

please say you're doing better then us!!!!!

My ankle is doing better and I worked out Saturday and Sunday Yeah I am not as motivated as I was before, but I pushed myself. Yeasterday I had an Icecream cone, but other then that I have been pretty good.

Good to hear your over your cold, its tough when you have to get back to the swing of things.

yeah, it's rough returning to the exercise routine... especially in your (and my FH's) situation, where an ankle or knee is achy....

I expect to be a bit sore this week from exercising.... I'm sure our muscles are weaker now.... but only a little bit weaker. If we don't jump back on the routine, it will be even harder!

glad to hear your feeling better

yesterday was not so good food-wise but not horrible either. we went out to lunch and I got a crabcake sandwhich but.......I'm so proud I opted for the side salad instead of french fries. I have some sort of willpower

and today I just did weights at the gym, no time for cardio

back to eating healthy today

I hear ya ladies. I havent been to the gym since last monday, needless to say the menu did not help my figure (Lots or drinking and eating...mom and friends were in town for me shower).
Back to the grind today. Not sure what Ill end up doing (Arms or legs) but either way I hope I dont drag a$$

Did ok on Saturday, walked a fair amount. Yesterday, FH and I walked 4 miles from our building to CVS and back, but as a present he bought me my favorite chocolates from Upstate (Smidgens) so we had a couple too many of them!

I've been good today though. I'm on target for my calorie intake for the day.

Took my first pilates class today!! I was surprised how much it really worked my butt and legs- it was awesome!

Didn't get to do enough cardio - only 20 minutes on the elliptical. Got out of school late with faculty meeting and then had a school function after that. Looooong day!

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/14

I'm trying to use my elliptical machine everyday until the wedding. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get myself to work out today though because I feel like cr@p for some reason.

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/14

OK I have bypassed this post long enough. I made my appintment for my 1st fitting, it's May 31st and now it's crunch time. You ladies have definetly motivated me
I'm clearing off my elliptical, (which is used to hang clothes on ) and I am just going to do it.
