Perpetual Healthy Eating and Fitness Rant & Rave thread

[diablita]

HUGE hugs for you, RA.  I wish there were something I could do to make it easier on you.  I know you don't want to talk about what's going on, but if you do, we're here for you.

How are you doing with sleep?  Are you getting some?

[Bolloxd]

Hugs to you RA. 

I have fallen off the exercise wagon.  Kids are off the nap train.  I'm off my rocker.

Training was more punishment than I expected with more to come.

[diablita]

  Bolloxd.  It takes a bit to settle back in.  And I'm sad to say that staying on the workout wagon gets a lot tougher when you go back to work, but hopefully you'll find a way to make it happen.

so i was up a few lbs this morning and was like, darn all that bread i have been eating, but then i got my period, FOUR DAYS EARLY tonight, so maybe that was all it was and why i wanted so much bread And why my boobs hurt over the weekend. And i have been really really cranky. And maybe that is why i have been nauseous, crazy hormones.

So it looks like I gained 5 pounds on vacation. Sigh...I didn't eat THAT much.

i gained almost twice that when i got married.  i was not eating that much but it was all eating out, unlike at home, where it is all cooking at home.

[diablita]

You'll take it off, MM, as long as you get back into your workout routine now that you're home.

We went out for Mexican last night to a place that has the world's best refried bean dip.  Pretty sure I put on 5 lbs just last night but am not stepping on the scale. 

[merigayle]

that sounds yum!!!

so Badwater emailed asking if people wanted to buy any additional finisher's shirts and i said yes, and i wanted a men's shirt, the RD emailed me back and basically accused me of buying the shirt for someone who was not a finisher. I was like, omg, i just do not want a tight fitting shirt!!  wtf? seriously?

[cgraz]

That's not very nice. I hope he gives you the shirt you want.

Thinking of you, RA, and hoping you're doing ok.

MM, no doubt you'll take it off once you're back in a good routine.

Bolloxd, hope the training is going well. I am always exhausted from that kind of stuff and have a hard time putting exercise into the mix when I'm jammed up in meetings, workshops, etc. It wipes me out.

Speaking of wiped out, I am tired. I mean really tired. Tired of peeing on sticks and tired of lots of things. I just found out that the couple we're vacationing with next week are preggo, like due in 2 months. It just made me feel like everyone around us is moving forward and we're stuck. I'm so tired of what we've been going through. Then I felt awful for not just being happy for our friends and for thinking about myself. The anniversary of last year's loss (right at this time) is hitting me hard. I am just out of ways to deal with it right now.

But I didn't eat junk. So there's that.

  cgraz. infertility is a cruel roller coaster.

and once again i am so uninspired w breakfast. i had left over tofu pad thai just now.

I can't relate to exactly what you're going through, but can definitely relate to feeling left behind as those around you move forward.

[Courtney]

cgraz, 

I ate nachos for dinner last night, and my fingers are swollen up like little pink sausages.  Apparently it was more salt than I needed.   

[cgraz]

Thanks, guys. I hate being a downer.

[Ice Cream]

Really?  TJMaxx is selling the adidas jackets from Boston marathon 2012. As far as I know, you can wear whatever you want.

and that is what we are here for! be a downer, you are allowed. Hang in there!

yeah. Totally accused me of buying the shirt for someone else. The woman's shirt from last year was so small i could not wear it, total disappointment (this is the first time they ever had any to sell after the race) and this year at the finish line i asked for a mens and the mens med was actually a bit snug (wtf?) so i asked him now for a mens lg. 

[debbatx]

I need to just find a bridge to hide under until I can get my shit together. I've totally backslid. Backslided? Eh, whatever. Point being, I love me some Reese's Minis.

[VP of Tea]

and that is what we are here for! be a downer, you are allowed. Hang in there!

My first thought also. And hugs to RA too, but I agree with Courtney and Debba too that you should be careful to get worn out. Easy to say, I know.

Debba! Get out from under that bridge! Hiding is no good, you need to get out in the open and forsake the Reese's whatchamacallits.

I got nothing interesting to report. No wait, I do! I had a Milky Way candy bar yesterday, first time in a long time. It was so not worth it, which I am quite happy about. I won't have any trouble skipping them. Well, until that box of Thin Mint candy bars in the freezer at work is empty, that is...

[merigayle]

i forced myself to run. and i survived.

[debbatx]

Thanks, VP. Reese's Minis and Whatchamacalits are actually two different things. Both delicious, though, LOL.

And I'd give my right arm for some of each right now.
