**Missgymrat** · 12-18-2010, 09:36 AM

Facing lots of challenges in the next few weeks with the holidays. Had a bad cheat day yesterday and feeling very moody because of it. Hoping to be able to control myself.
Will try to stay motivated by checking in to this thread and reading peoples' journals.
My gym will be closed for 2 weeks, when I need it the most but will do my best not to destroy all of the progress.

**Tannerus4** · 12-18-2010, 09:41 AM

**cawiau** · 12-18-2010, 05:17 PM

Wow, almost forgot to post for this week.

This week has been hard for diet and work out wise. I was not able to make it to the gym because I was so busy with work and also was sick... this cold is going around.

Weight? I don't know and honestly afraid to look. Hope everyone else is kicking ass!

Been so busy the last 2 weeks. Weight is hovering around 250 so I am down 20lbs and have put on almost 5 lbs of muscle so far!
Keep it up everyone!

thanks Angela. this contest isnt going as good as I wanted but I guess as long as I am getting a loss I should be happy.

**djz227** · 12-19-2010, 05:59 AM

Week 12 here we come! Last big push before the holiday destruction. Do not stray from your planned workouts & meals this week people, so you can enjoy next week's feasts guiltfree!
Lecture over.
Hope everyone's weekend is great. Mine is. Worked out good. Went to Maryland & ate great crap. Amazing how a University can barely serve up a decent meal, but can turn out this awesome natural homemade ice cream! Then went to great burger joint in DC! It was sooo worth it. Off to pay for it now via extra cardio session.

**tarringt** · 12-19-2010, 06:00 AM

Off to the gym to do bi's and tri's then 45 min of cardio. Next to sit in front of the TV and watch NFL football the rest of the day!

Have a great Sunday everyone!

dont worry too much about that, its that season for sickness going around and junk food being literally thrown at you. Just do you best and hang in there.

**MsClickClick** · 12-19-2010, 07:06 AM

Work that stress off in the gym![/QUOTE]

I agree work it off in the gym!!!!

**MsClickClick** · 12-19-2010, 07:11 AM

So I didnt miss any weight training this week. I initally did but I made it up Friday. I got a 12 hour over time shift need that green baby. Yesterday I went to the gym to do my cardio I planned on doing a hour but I didnt relise the hours of the gym and I had to leave after only 40 minuets of cardio.

My run is getting way way better. Last night I started off slow and every 2 laps I would encrese the speed. I at least completed my 1.5 mile run that is required for my PT test along with a bike ride.
Today Im over hauling my house and cleaning and ABS. As well preping food for the next few days.

Also I just would like to make it clear that in this challenge I wasnt really expecting huge changes but one of my major goals was to just complete the challenge and not get dropped like I did last challenge.

Keep it up guys and gals

**ms_mac** · 12-19-2010, 08:13 AM

Wow....week 12 already??? Crap, I am running out of time! LOL This past week was quite hectic as I am sure was everyone else's but I did manage to stick to my workout schedule and got it all done. Diet was great from Mon - Thurs, then Fri night was girls night in at my house.....I served lobster rolls on a scooped out baguette ( reasonably diet friendly) scallops sauted in a bit of EVOO (still good), coleslaw with Walden Farms dressing and a garden salad (dieters dream)........wine(lots and lots) and cheesecake ('nuf said) LOL.

This week will be super busy for me so I planning to cram 4 workouts in 3 days. I usually do a Mon Tues Thurs Fri split. This week will be Sun Mon and Tues. The rest of the week is jammed packed for me.....put am hoping to try and squeeze a little cardio in on Wed and Thurs. Notice I said "hoping".........Next week is looking like it will be just as busy so will probably to a similar schedule to this week...

Have a great week, everyone!

I have been ramping up my calories slowly ever since my first contest about 7 weeks ago. Right now Im sitting at around 2700 calories and will most likely bump it up to 3000 for this upcoming week. Will probably create a whole extra meal out of that lol.

I might have ramped the calories up to slow so I think this boost should provide a decent steady weight gain. Thats crazy 3500cal at 145lbs of weight lol you must have been loving it! Im jealous of all the people who eat 4000 a day to bulk lol but who knows I might be surprised with how much I can eat without gaining too much excess fat

How many calories you taking in now?

**RUTHL3SS** · 12-19-2010, 08:44 AM

Keep it up guys! These contests are an awesome motivation tool. I'm bummed that I didn't get in on this one.

I agree. Your weight loss has farther implications than this contest. Use the contest to spur you onward, but remember this is about obtaining better health and better life.

On another note, today is Sunday (my day off from exercise) and I just finished looking at "1492". It is a story about Christopher Columbus. I enjoyed the movie and found two quotes that I really like. Here they are:

"Riches don't make a man happy, they only make him busier" how true, I have observed this in my life.

"Life has more imagination than we carry in our dreams..." I found this inspirational. It's like saying, "Once you dream, stretch your imagination even more...because even more is possible."
