'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

sorry girls for not starting this post for a couple days!
think I'm in wedding meltdown mode, right now. I'm not exercising, not dieting, but not binging either.... The best word to describe it: subsisting

It's really bad. Haven't exercised in a while. Won't make excuses

Actually, I'd like to pass the ball of beginning this thread to another volunteer.... things are getting a bit too crazy, with the wedding so close. someone did volunteer to take over a couple weeks ago, I just can't recall who! so please re-introduce yourself, and maintain the thread starting tomorrow!

As for the rest of you, how are you doing with your diet / exercise routine?

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

Diet not so good, Ben and Jerry's on Friday and Pizza Uno on Monday, but good with going to the gym! I want to run, but serously hate it right now, SO I go to the gym and do as much as I can on the eliptical till I poop out and then hit the machines!!! I am so sore today!

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

I've been meaning to go to the gym for weeks...now that my dress is in I need to motivate myself to get there today! NO more excuse.

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

excerise4 past two days, we will see on the scale if i did any better, but i feel good. Me and fh are trying to excerise together for more moral support for him and me. So we will see .

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

I have been good with working out and I have been pretty good regarding food. I was bad on sunday.

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

I was so excited to have the day off so I could go to my favorite instructor's classes. His name is Yves, and he teaches at Syosset and East Meadow NYSC. I usually take his kickboxing, then club strength (or total body conditioning). Well, his kickboxing completely killed me that I honestly couldn't get myself to stay for the next class!

They don't kill you like this in NJ!! I can't wait for summer when I visit on LI all the time and get to go to his classes regularly so that I could actually handle them when I go!!!

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

Ahhh...I've been doing horrible with the diet lately...the days always start out good, but come 3 or 4 o'clock it goes downhill. And I have been really lazy with exercizing too.... I had bronchitis a few weeks ago and since then I have not been able to get my butt in gear. I did manage to go nordic walking for 30min today but thats not going to get me anywhere. I need motivation (you'd think the fact that I'm getting married in 2 months would do the trick)!!

I've been doing good with the diet, but haven't exercised in almost a week and lost 4 lbs! What's up w/ that?!

I'm going to start again as soon as I get my Hip Hop Abs- got bored w/ my workout!!

lol well I'm actually in Germany (just getting marrie din Austria because thats where FH is from)...but its the saaaame problem... all the yummy breads and pastries. And considering that you walk past like 1000 bakeries wherever you go it makes it kind of hard to resist! And the fact that they don't really have 'low calorie' food like in the US... there are none of those yummy weight watcher carrot cakes, or light cool whip, or Smartones meals. That makes it tough so I need to stock up whenever I go back home to visit

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

I've been pretty good on my diet, but I can't seem to get motivated to exercise. I just don't want to find the time to do it! It's horrible cause I really have to and I have less than 3 months to start toning!!!!

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

I met my goal weight so I'm excited ! I binged this weekend after my last fitting though ! But i'm back on track and back down to the weight I was. I was hoping to lose a few more pounds but it's only less than 5 so i'm not complaining. I just started doing push-ups to tone my arms but I only have a few weeks so it's probably useless but I'm still gonna try ! I walk alot with FH or walk to and from work....without that I wouldn't have been able to lose anything. I just love food too much !

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

Monday I ate really bad and did not exercise, but I don't feel that bad about it, we really had to finish our registry so that's what we did. Yesterday I did kickboxing and fitball class at the gym. I ate a really greasy gross breakfast but everything else I ate was super healthy. I am going to run today after work and my diet is going alright today (other than the one left over slice of pizza). If it weren't for pizza I'd be doing so much better!

Is anyone else doing all this work and not losing any weight at all? According to FH he can really see the difference but the scale is just not moving.

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

stressing so i've been eating some crap...but went to TKD this morning...and just got back from doing lower body with my PT...will try to run again this weekend...third dress fitting is tomorrow...so that is motivation..haha

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

i feel you. the scale isnt moving for me either. i am working out with my trainer and doing the elliptical and treadmill and stuff. i have a monstrous appetite, so i guess thats why. but i try not to indulge the beast, so eh. but yeah, i hate exercising!

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/23

Today is start kicking my *** day...I have exactly one month and I need to do something! I did tae-bo and Im not eating bread until this wedding is over
