I’m at the point now where I don’t lose weight at all – but I love resistance and cardio and it makes me feel happy (weight loss or not).

That being said… I know I need to work on the food part…then the scale will move (at least for me)

We definitely all need our down time. I’m wiped out and exhausted from this stinking sinus and throat infection and there’s no way that I would want to push myself through a workout and nor should I.

During yesterday’s Fat Loss Quickie accountability call I mentioned that the person who wins the Transformation Contest isn’t going to be someone who didn’t miss a workout, ate nothing but incredibly healthy foods, only worked 4 hour days and spent loads of time with the family every single day, and stayed completely focused on their business tasks each and every day.

Nope… not one of us is going to get through the next 84 days perfectly. We’re all going to have some down time and that is not something to be looked down upon.

It’s all a part of this fun journey.

I love your outlook Patti, “I’ll check in tomorrow with a whole new level of zen… I’m counting on it!”

That is absolutely awesome!

Love you all

You’re right we all need our down time! I was a bit slow yesterday too. Hurt my shoulder in the morning quickie so I skipped the cardio part yesterday.

However, today is a whole new day and I’m thinking the good night’s sleep last night did me good bc it doesn’t hurt at all now.

It’s time to get back on the horse and ride! Let’s get this!

You weren’t the only one! I think Scott gave his cold some how.

You know I never thought about that! Today is TMI day I guess. I have an IUD and don’t have to deal with that monthly stuff so I forget about it.

What a day. I slugged around in my pj’s most of the day, working only on what I absolutely needed to do, then sliding over to Nicole’s to slug around some more to the tune of about 12 ounces of wine. I am so busted! Bad food all day, no exercise, no shower, and wine…

Whew! I’d better get to bed and start all over again tomorrow! What the heck happened today? Oh well… everybody needs a really d-o-w-n day once in a while. Even my cats were slugs.

I’ll check in tomorrow with a whole new level of zen… I’m counting on it!

(Maybe it’s the 350 squats???… messed with my head a bit. I don’t know. Okay Scarlett… Tomorrow is another day.)

((hugs)) to all!

I’m so glad that you shared, Erica. 🙂

Don’t forget about the effects of hormones, too. My weight fluctuates a LOT throughout the month, in different areas of my body. And, that’s all I’ll say about that. You may want to track your “fat” days on a calendar.

VERY proud of us all!

I lost 11 lbs in the first 2 weeks we were doing this and I believe that it was only because I needed to get off my butt so badly. But last Wednesday and Thursday I went to put on my jeans and noticed that they didn’t fit right. I kind of think I had the same thing (the muscle under the fat going on.) I think you are right on track with all your observations because the fit fine this morning.

I got my workout and my cardio in right after the accountability call and then found out that my dad had some Bowflex adjustable weights that he doesn’t use. I’m off to write my goals.

Hope you all had a good weekend.

Awesome suggestions.
