Activity..yay!! Welcome back FUTURE! I kind of felt the same way after my work-out yesterday, had to make myself eat and that was even after going grocery shopping first and I'm usually pretty disciplined about eating within 30 minutes of a tough work-out.
And tough it was but I loved it!! We had a few of the trainers in our class yesterday, it was my favorite one yet. And I've got the sore muscles to show for it...lol. I loved the cardio part...run as fast as you can on the treadmill for .40, then get on rower for 200...back on treadmill at full blast for .30, then 300 on rower....20 on tread, 400 rower....1 on tread, 500 rower...fun stuff! We did some strength compound moves I really like too and some weights that kind of give me a break which I need...lol!
And, lets be clear, many people eat too much too and wonder why they can't lose weight, I know a few of those people too...lol. And eat the wrong foods and it does matter. But not enough food slows your metabolism as well as what you do lose, is usually muscle so you can weigh what you think is a good number on the scale, but you have a high body-fat.
FUTURE, we're all stocked up too! I pulled a 'nomless' yesterday and cooked up a bunch of stuff and cut up a ton of fresh veggies to have on hand.
nomless and tony, what really helped me was a group of people I worked out with that were super fit, healthy and lean...they taught me not to look at food and calories as the enemy but as fuel.

Good Friday Morning!
I have caught some nasty bug - probably from all the flying - and have been sick as a dog since Tuesday afternoon. Went to the doctor yesterday and am now on antibiotics. While I still feel awful, I'm hoping by tomorrow the meds will have kicked in and I'll feel better.
Welcome to the new posters and you all are inspiring me to get going again once I feel better!
Those that live where this big snowstorm is hitting, please take care. It sounds brutal.

Morning, we didn't get any additional snow last night but it's cold. Up to 1 right now and next Monday said said our highs will be below zero...coldest winter so far since 1996 they said on the local weather. Logan still wants us to throw him snow balls though. He absolutely loves that.
Today for me was incline walking on my treadmill...my butt cheeks are sore from yesterday so that's good.
Judy sorry you are under the weather..probably worn out too from the trip, just lay low until you feel better.
tony I am counting down the days until opening day!
Pppmint great workout you had yesterday, woo hoo.....
Nomless keep up the good work!
Welcome to all the new comers
FUTURE glad it is Friday for you too. Your rice cooker sounds interesting...may have to look at one...Can you also just steam veggi's in it too?

Take a look at Lisa Robertson's blog. She's not foolin' when she talks about working out!

Nomless
WHOA! You are right about Lisa R! Went to look at her blog and wow, she really does work out! Good for her. I'm sure that has taken not only a lot of time but a lot of dedication and hard work.
I think the Q Forum is being a little weird. The last few days when I have clicked on the Wellness tab, I get a "general" listing of posts and then have to scroll down and click on Wellness again. So strange.
Anyway, still feeling pretty bad and am home from work again today. Not much to report. Just me and my kitty spending lots of time together. LOL
Take care all and stay warm!

I am sore from my weight workout yesterday. So today I did a cardio tape - too cold to walk outside.
Keeping at it.
Love the encouragement I get from seeing what the rest of you are doing.

Morning! Woke up with hives again...grrrrr! Always takes a bit of my mojo from me. I'm seeing a pattern here with my cycle too...isn't that weird?? Anyway, started off my day with Benedryl and coffee...breakfast of champs!
tony, we were watching those poor folks in MA, what a mess they have! I'm not going to even mention the measly "storm" we had and our temps...lol, so many people are so much worse off. Where I'm from(WI) might see minus 50* below wind-chill next week!
I will say Lucy wasn't digging the zero wind-chill we had, she about liked to freeze to death when a gust of wind would hit her! Tuesday we're supposed to have our coldest day here in 20 years...I'm not sure she'll be going #2 that day.
Judy, hope you are feeling better, I know a lot of people that are sick right now.
I really like the personal trainer we had yesterday but I have trouble understanding them with their headsets when they tell us what we're doing next, it sounds like she is talking through a filter. The guy next to me said he couldn't understand it either.
Anyway, remember how sore my butt cheeks were?...well, our first segment started off with 80 squats with weights and touching butt on short bench...and dead lifts up to shoulder raises. So much for not working those too much! I'm soooorrre today! Only cardio for me!
Waving to everyone!! Stay warm!!
