| Fitness | sore after workout | Jan 20 2009 02:30 (UTC) |

Oooh this is coming in the mail this week. Woohoo, sounds like a good workout. I've been sore too from working out. I did take one day off after two of working out, but I was literally so sore I couldn't even move. I took a bath and then today I jumped back into it. It was hard, but I made it through.
Great job on the exercising. I thought I was doing good with a work out video every day, but now it feels like I'm barely trying compared to your schedule. Impressive. :)

| Weight Loss | I gained it all back....really? | Jan 19 2009 02:10 (UTC) |

You are at a healthy weight already. If you want to tone up I'd suggest strength training, which will turn whatever fat you have into muscle and increase your metabolism. You're already at the low weight for your height, so you have nothing to truly worry about.
You're not eating enough calories either. I can't give any advice about that because I have trouble eating a ton of calories too, but from what I hear if your body doesn't think you're eating enough it will hang onto the food you do eat. Again, you're at an almost unhealthy weight already! I'd suggest you try maintaining it and building up your muscles.
I'm sure you look gorgeous at that weight. |

| Weight Loss | How many pounds did you lose before people noticed? | Jan 19 2009 02:06 (UTC) |

You guys are amazing. Really great inspiration for me to lose weight.
I know how you feel Ceils. I'm always being told by my soon to be mother in law how I can eat less and walk more, but once I lost 20 pounds she hasn't noticed. It's nice for people to recognize our achievements, it's positive reinforcement. Until they start using their brains and pointing out how great you look you can always remind yourself by trying on your old "fat" clothes. It always makes me realize how far I've come, and I try on the pair that don't fit me yet and see how close I am getting. |

| Weight Loss | Carbs/Fat/Protein amounts? | Jan 19 2009 01:56 (UTC) |

Thanks for the tips.
Wow that seems like a lot of protein, I had no clue that we should eat that much. I'm not sure, I don't think I could do low carb though because I'm vegan and I really eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.
I guess the numbers aren't as important as having a balance of 40/30/30 so I'll try aiming for that.
I thought that I had to eat 500 calories less than 1750. Wow I guess I was way off! |

That's a neat trick for people who have trouble spelling. Unfortunately since "loose" is a word people won't pick it up on spell check.
It doesn't irritate me, but it does at the same time. I always feel guilty that it irritates me though. haha |

I think it's smart to be concerned about what you put into your body. I'm sure you can find some organic produce in your market, but if not you can buy a special kind of wash to use on your fruit and veg.
I have a huge phobia of seafood, I can't even walk near it in the store.
Dairy and meat is gross!
Don't let yourself go crazy in either direction, being too lax or too strict. Try to enjoy your food. |

Thanks. I mostly eat things without labels, fruits and veggies. I never thought about it being in avacados'. I eat a lot of those. Yummy! I was worried I had ingested something non-vegan, since I had tater-tot's yesterday. |

1. Favorite non-dairy milk? I love all Almond Breeze, especially unsweetened since it's so much healthier. I'm not sure, I noticed that someone said something about a banana/sweet potato casserole. That sounds great, but I can't find a vegan recipe. I am waiting on the cookbook Eat, Drink & Be Vegan and will pick a few recipes from there to try.
Next time someone says to mix the flour and water first when making brownies, I won't take them literally! The rest of the dry ingredients wouldn't mix in and then when I cooked it there were chunks of dough throughout the pan.

Original Post by dreadfulpenny: This is a new profile of mine, but I've been on the site for years and I know it doesn't take hours to respond. Thanks for your suggestions.
I didn't make myself clear, but I was more wondering how other people motivated themselves to exercise, or where they would get the motivation from if they had depression.
I've had my ups' where exercise has made me feel better.
I'm in a slump right now. Social anxiety is not just as simple as going outside and facing the world. Otherwise I would have done that by now.
I can't get treatment around here, I've already been to the clinic and after a few months my therapist said I had reached the maximum number of visits.
I hope that the rest of CC isn't as rude as you. |
