I did good for the first half of february and then fell off the wagon because i was so super restrictive and it backfired. i am just working on not making myself go crazy.! lol.
I count calories the whole week and splurge for one meal over the weekend...it seems to keep me on the wagon

Bananas DEFINITELY help with the charlie horses - and make sure you keep yourself hydrated!! I start getting charlie horses in the beginning of the winter (When ski season started - I ski a lot). So, I started eating 1-2 bananas a day and I drink a couple bottles of water and it totally helped! I would highly recommend it!!!
As for the whole gym thing - I just joined NYSC 2 weeks ago. I had belonged to a small gym in my town for 3 years and I stopped going b/c I was bored with the place. Now I am addicted to NYSC! I had a training session though on Sunday of which I am STILL sore from (yeah, I know, its kinda pathetic) so coupled with being sore from the trainer and busting my butt shoveling snow for 3 hours the other day - I am still hurting! So I am going light on the gym this week and eating extremely healthily.... Plus, I have some extra motivation to get my butt back in shape because I am going down to the Caribbean in 3 months and I want to look my best! Hopefully I will be able to keep up the healthy lifestyle for a yr or so til after the wedding...gonne be hard - but I have faith!

Re: BRAND NEW ENCOURAGEMENT THREAD!
i've been so bad on both the diet and the exercise. i'm hoping as the weather gets nicer, it won't be a problem for me to go to the gym. as for the diet part, apparently my cousin read the book Eat to Live and lost 30 pounds in 2 months by following what the book said to do. I might give it a shot to jump start something.

Re: BRAND NEW ENCOURAGEMENT THREAD!
I am supposed to be on WW.I have been doing it for years from home (no computer or classes, just the points). I have been at my desired weight for a long time, but lately I have been slipping (5 pounds!). Last Sunday I decided to get on the ball... I am writing my meals down, planning out the next day in advanced. Hopefully, I can loose that 5 pounds.
I really have to work on toning up. I bought that 30 day shred awhile ago, but only did it the first day. Apparently I am in better shape than I thought because the Level 1 was too easy. I really want to tone those saggy grandma arms.

thanks sandra!!! i def need some encouragement i started the year off so well but now im so busy i dont know how to mae time for the gym !!!! i think im going to start waking up early and excerising at home..wish me luck!!!
I actually set the alarm to go off to give me an hour to exercise in the morning. FH is off to the train by 5am and really, I don't have to leave for work until 7:30. I wish I could get up when he leaves and DO SOMETHING. I just can't seem to get out of bed! I think I need a workout buddy again. YEARS ago when I was going to the gym on a regular basis I would feel guilty not going because someone was waiting for me there. It worked for him too.
