I started reading this thread from the beginning until I realized it's at 90 pages!! lol I just skipped to the end. I just started doing a 10 week learn to run program. I did it before, so I know I can do it again. I'm also doing weight training with it. I'm not a small girl at all, so I'm slightly terrified of going topless when we go! I figure if I at least lose a bit and tone up a little (especially in my midsection), I'll feel more comfortable. I just bought 3 new bathing suits though, so if they just fit a little bit nicer, I'll be happy! If I have to go out and buy 3 more because they're too big, I'll be ecstatic! I want to keep this up even after and while we're there. How is the fitness equipment at TTR? Especially the treadmill?
sounds like a great plan and welcome .. hmm, never noticed it has 90 pages!!..lol I cant help you out as far as the gym at TTR because I have never been in it... lol I see it from the window..haha! treadmill looks like it works well.. lol :liebe011:
The gym is small at TTR, but there are a couple of treadmills (I think 3?) and a couple of bikes or elliptical machines, plus a couple of Universal-type machines and some free weights. The treadmills are fine. Never gets very busy in the gym, and they keep it at a comfortable temperature. I only do week-long trips at TTR, so the last trip I didn't bother bringing gym stuff (Murphy's Law: my room was DIRECTLY across from the gym door, just to make me feel guilty!). I figure it's good for my body to have a break for a week, especially when I am working out really hard right up until I get on the plane to TTR.
Welcome to our insanity. We lose we gain, we lose. I was shy to go topless our first trip too. Took a few days and shots. I just thoughts the boobs were to small to look good topless. Now I never where the top.
Welcome back.. Like Kim/Bruce we have our fingers crossed for Oct. We had a great time, funny how fast time goes at TTR and yeah would have been nice to chat more. Well I guess there is no time like the present to get our butts in gear, and as I say butts... right now I feel like I'm carrying an extra one..LOL I've been hiding out as of late, these people on this thread are so dedicated.. and disciplined.. But there are no excuses for me now I guess.
I'd move the scale back by the window.. I have a hate relationship with my scale.. evil thing just sits there waiting for me to step on it and ruin my day.. there are days I give it the finger and the ugly stare and tell it where to go and avoid the lying piece of shit
Funny, when I was working out hard, I thought of the scale as my secret mistress. Every morning, I would quietly slip out of bed, undress and slip onto my mistress hoping that she was going to be kind to me. I would mentally beg her to be nice. One glance at her and my day was either made or was ruined. Sometimes I would have to ask what the hell did I do to deserve that! Other times, I found myself promising her that I would do better today. Whenever I knew I was bad and bound to get her disapproval, I would avoid her like the plague until I felt braver and had done enough to gain her forgiveness. Just a little insight into what goes on inside "Jim" - scary isn't it?
I am getting closer to jumping back on the bandwagon. I now have gotten a couple of workouts in and I am sprinkling some good eating decision in with all my bad choices. Today my pain was friggin' bad which killed my planned workout, but tomorrow is another day. This weekend, I will be skiing lots (which is good), but I will also be drinking lots and eating carbs (which is bad but oh so good). On Monday (January 7th), I will go very hard at the fitness thing once again and I am determine to get back on the scale on the following Monday (January 14th). Goal for this year is to get abs and definition while maintaining my Temptation weight. I hope you book again so you can judge my success (or lack there of).
Over the flu and back to the gym today. My trainer still pushed me and at this moment I feel like jello but my lungs are on fire. I hate wall balls with a passion, but I push through them. They keep telling me just get here and we will get you through the rest. It's a great group with a lot of motivation. So here is to 2013 that we all meet our workout goals.
