Yesterday was a rest day gave me time to catch up on some house stuff and grocery shopping! Got a nice udner armour vest from sports chek for $12 absolute bargain!!
I pretty much always use my fitness pal to add up food etc, but i really do feel sometimes its not accuarte so i did the old fashioned way and used pen and paper, using the labels off the food i eat. WOW!!
I had my fitness pal at 2300 cals per day . Pen and paper at 2900 lol. some difference!! Next week i will cut 150 cals from my total and 100 cals every week roughly for 6 weeks and take it from there.Train hard and Think Big

Not updated for a long while!
Been playing soccer 3 nights a week, always my first love ! Sunday, Mondays and Wednesdays weights and mass machine lifting has taken a back seat while I play soccer, hopefully I will be joining a ladies team after the summer .
Gym has been going pretty good, food 85% there no crappy foods but i don't put limits on foods. Nice balance but I do still long to be 150lbs stuck at 165lbs I will see what happens with soccer on average burning 1200 calories a game!

Portia! So good to hear from you. I am doing well, fighting the good fight. How's your man doin? ........ so glad to hear your having fun and enjoying life. With all the insanity going on here in the States, Canada is looking pretty good from here too! Ha! ... Cheers ... MzJ

You made me laugh about being so serious they had to move you to another team! You wild woman. .... Yes, I too felt quite adrift after the competition. Skip really kept us in harness with the structure he provided and the motivation was exceptional. I stuck pretty close to podcasts he did for a long time to keep myself as on target as I could. It has helped me in so many ways.
Interesting point you make about feeling you could not "teach" fitness because of how you look. Yet what you are trained to do is help others be physically fit, learn to do exercise properly no matter where they are physically. I have of late been doing a lot of research into how we get stuck on focusing on the externals. The diet and fitness industry manipulates us into focusing only on externals. Constant daily judgement of how we look. Constant measuring and self criticism in pursuit of perfection ...... a standard designed by the industry. A standard just a handful ever achieve aesthetically. Big money in the failure of it all.
Do not get me wrong, I do not think there is anything wrong with wanting to be more aesthetically pleasing as long as the motivation comes from within. It is you you are pleasing. ..And then there is the whole obsession thing too........Out of this thinking I have begun to focus on what my body can do instead.
What if you, with all your knowledge of fitness and your skill in sports, were to train others from that point of view. Focusing on strength, balance, mobility, skill in the gym. The aesthetics will follow. There are thousands of women who would just like help in feeling better and learning the discipline of just getting to the gym! Ha! ...... Many of the trainers I see in the gym are fit but they do not look like they are in competiton for anything special and they help many.
anyway, just some thoughts. ...... so glad to hear from you. MzJ"Transcending strengths and weaknesses, genius guides us in the expression of our character and the discovery of our calling."

I love this post above!!
I have always believed and am believing that reaching my "ideal weight" again and looking good will be the beginning of all I want. But I have been there before and thinking on it I realize that the "war" never actually stops. Even with a 23 inch waist and size 8 clothes you are living in "fear". Fear of regaining the weight. Fear of losing control. Your life is a constant "don't eat this, eat only that". And if you slip the "judge" is there waiting. The "Critic" begins and the self abuse starts.. There is always an emotional sense of "have to" attached to food and weight and how you look. Constant stress.
this is all so true, been there 140lbs and thinking this is great except i have to exercise more to maintain and eat less, worry about everything that i eat!every day it never goes away!! been there i still do it now if i have a treat-- i think how can i burn it off and the next day eat nothing all day to compensate.
I am a lot better now but still i am thinking my rec footy on a Sunday ends next week and I am already thinking how can i burn more calories on this day?!
I have a sister in England right now lost quite a bit of weight maybe 20-25lbs but i asked her what she was eating every day 1100 calories is what she said WTF!! how is that acceptable!
20 diets in a lifetime, lol i have probably surpassed that !!
************************************************** ********************************
HaHa! Yes, me too ... I should have said 20 a year or how about starting again everyday!
You do know that when you have a treat and then starve the next day you are actually setting up the environment for the opposite result of what you want to happen. Starvation is the signal to the body to take the next food you eat and pack it on as fat!... You would have a better chance of not gaining if you just maintain your normal eating the next day.
At 1100 calories I am sure your sister was hungry a lot. I am studying this more in depth right now but you can maintain that pretty well I think as long as you have regular BIG refeeds and you have to experiment with that. There is height, weight and age,BMI all that. Otherwise she may be looking at rebound gain comin up which is usually what happens in my experience. It's biological. She is undereating.
Thanks for the feedback Portia ... I believe there are hundreds of thousands of women who are trapped in the same mindset everyday. We are not alone and ... it is not normal.
I will find a way out. And Im gonna tell everyone I can. MzJ"Transcending strengths and weaknesses, genius guides us in the expression of our character and the discovery of our calling."
