Perpetual Healthy Eating and Fitness Rant & Rave thread

[triciaflower]

We had a customer go on an insane rant about czars, socialism, hitler, and anything else she could think of. It was like she printed out all the email forwards and referred to each and every one.

It was frightening to see with my own eyes that there are CRAZY people out there.

And they vote.

one of my patients told me i looked good today and asked if i lost weight (gained 5lbs since i last saw her, but made me feel less blah today )

[debbatx]

Yay for awesome patients!!! I slipped a bit the past couple of days. Back on the wagon tomorrow.

[triciaflower]

I slipped a bit the entire last WEEK!!

God I feel bloated and fat. I haven't weighed myself, but I know it's up. I have a little party tomorrow and a photo opening this weekend. But next week. BACK ON TRACK!! 

[merigayle]

well, i got on the TM yesterday and should have no issue again today, so hoping i am back on my way to the routine. Date night Sat with DH (probably thai) and then sushi buffet (MoS better come with us!!!) Sunday so i am hoping to get atleast 10 miles in Sunday before that

My biggest problem (other than my ass and boobs) is that I just really, really, really resent the hell out of the fact that the only time I can work out is at 5 AM. No matter what, I just can't seem to get over that.

I suck.

[merigayle]

I resent a lot of things! I am very bitter that I just cannot eat a treat here and there and that i must watch every calorie that goes in my mouth or i will gain. I am so super healthy and it just is not fair that i cannot get my body to cooperate

5am is tough. I am not missing those Badwater training mornings, however, i think some of my problem is i went from 70-80 miles a week to nothing, LOL. I got on the TM today ,mostly walked, but i did it. When i sleep poorly, i get this horrible nerve pain in my foot when i run, so there it was today. It is definitely directly related to my cranky back and it gets crankier if i sleep poorly.

You don't suck.  If the only time I could go was at 5 am, I don't think it would ever happen.  I'd sooner go at midnight than 5 am.

1.  Early morning working out is not my thing. 

[debbatx]

Thanks, y'all. And meri, I resent all that other stuff, too, but I think the exercise at 5 AM is the one I resent the most.

omg on Wednesdays and Fridays when I pick DD up after nap time, she is a monster, like a half asleep monster. She is laying on the couch screaming and crying for daddy. I even offered to take her out for froyo! WTF? I may start leaving her at school until afternoon snack (an hour later) because i cannot stand this crying and screaming for an hour every time  it is wayyyy too hot to go outside too, it is 94F according to my thermometer (probably closer to 90 in reality) and mega muggy, just really nasty out.

[debbatx]

If it helps at all, it's 98 here. Couldn't go out even if we wanted to.  It should top out around 102 later this afternoon.

[merigayle]

that is just nasty weather! sunday and monday look nice though! 74F!  DD finally stopped screaching, she is really a nightmare and her teachers were shocked when i told them how she acts when i bring her home. I think she is still half asleep, etc, though she does not do this when she is there until 5:30/6pm on Tues and Thurs. Ugh.

[debbatx]

Yeah, I'm pretty fired up about this weekend. Tomorrow's high is only supposed to be 90!!!

And Reid's a total pill when he first wakes up most mornings. He'll call for us, we'll open the door to his room, and we're greeted with, "NO!! GO AWAY FROM REID! I DON'T *WANT* TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!!"

[merigayle]

yep, like that. ugh. it is HORRIBLE. I am really considering keeping her at preschool/daycare an extra hour. I feel guilty cause i want to spend more time time with her, but what quality is it when all she does is scream like a banshee? i got her to watch some tv and calm down. I gotta get some cleaning done. Fun times.

[debbatx]

I'd see if you can try it for a while - if she's happier after staying an extra hour, go for it.

and then there is that mommy guilt, LOL!!

There is no need to feel guilty about your child not screaming.

True! I will see how the next couple weeks go and may consider for october.
