Take U out of labour and just hang.

Sorry Cajun, in Canada we like U. It's not all about US.

 :) Agreed.

So I think I'm gonna have a BBQ at my place of some PC Mini-Chicken Burgers (so cute, and cute things taste good) and PC Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream. Nom nom.

Maybe buy some new gym pants, as my butt split on my current pair... onder how long its been there for... hmm.

Breaking off a date over e-mail?? What a flake! Guess its better that she did it before the date then the day of or just skip out on you.

I always like to do hillariously named shots. I did find this:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/holidays-and-ev ents/labor-day/drinks/main.aspx

And Beer Margaritas sounds so very very wrong. Nothing really good there.
Might just have to fall back on the G-n-T. Or some red wine.

And Pizza. Beacuse that is Sooo Labour day.
And wear all the white I have in my waredrobe. Which is... not much. Maybe a few t-shirts and undies?? maybe not a good idea.

I as well try and log every day (some days I just don't feel like it or forget) and I try and go by the little green line. My favorite is TTOTM and its like a rollercoaster all over the place.

1. do you have a mile/minute/calorie target for your workouts? Minute.

2. what % of your workout is devoted to cardio? strength? I try for 50/50

3. do you stretch? After, always or I hurt!

4. do you foam roll? I don't know what this is...

5. do you go to a gym to workout? Yeah, we have one at work!

6. whats your favorite form of cardio? Bike. I have foot issues or I'd do the treadmill. I like to walk as well.

7. what is your least favorite cardio? Jumprope, unless I have a good bra ;)

8. music or silence? Music/TV (Dragons Den reruns are on durring my work out.)

9. alone or group exercise? Prefer alone. I don't mind having someone to chat with sometimes, but I like to keep in my own head. I've done classes before, and there not for me.

10. favorite workout video? Never used one!

11: days a week you exercise? Monday to Thursday. I should add in more...

12. number of minutes logged per week? 50 x 4 = 200

13. best  benefit that you get from exercise? Energetic, happier, more stamina, feeling tonned, not having a huge guilt for eating that extra butter popcorn o Saturday

14. how do you motivate yourself on the "i dont wanna" days? I remind myself that I'll feel like crap when 3pm rolls around (as I work out at noon) and something is better than nothing

15. am or pm workouts? Noon

This was fun! I notice lots of people don't stretch! I love stretching, so much fun...

At least you ate food that sounds pretty good for you! Not like you binged on a bucket of KFC, a full bag of Doritios, a bag of Extra Butter Popcorn, a MR. Big, and ate half a jar of Nnutella with a spoon.

Not that I've done that bad before... really!

Yeah, just move on. Eat the rest of your day sensibly, and work out if you can. :)

That's it. I'm going to 'join' this group (if that's okay with you'all.) I've been reading off and on and thinking "Yea I could join..." but that's as far as I've gotten.

My screen name is Razy, Living in Montreal with my Boydriend. I'm 22, 5'4, 133.2lbs as of this morning. I work 8am to 5pm as a desk jockey doing Graphics & Marketing support (websites, advertising, catalogues, that sorta thing). I currently excersize about 4 times a weeek. We have a little gym at work (yes, I'm lucky) and I go on the bike for at least 25min, then every other day I lift weights, 15lbs, 3 different movements.

Don't know what the moves I use for lifting weights are called, but one is the "Arms straight above the head, bend elbow so they are parallel with the floor", the other is the "Make an L-Shape with your arm's on either side of your head, and push the weigths over your head" and the third is the "Arm at side of body, lift weight up to chest". Yeah, those ones. I do 3 sets of 12 reps.

My main points of improvement would be:

• Drink less on Fridays
• Cut down the Binges (which are an after work / weekend thing)
• Stay optimistic
• Start do some sort of light exercise at home
• Stay motivated
• Be realistic

Before I used to cut my Cals crazy low & I got down to 118. I wasn't happy. I was cold all the time, tired, cranky, couldn't concentrate (which is a big deal for me, as I'm Attention Deficate) and lost too much too fast.  Now I feel like I'm eating 'normal' but I've gained 10lbs since last year. *sigh* I hate it. I had to buy new pants... my shirts dont' feel the same...

Well thats my intro story. I've gotta get back to work, but I'm super glad that I've found a group of people who won't be all "But you look FINE. You haven't gained a THING." I know there just being sweet, but my pants tell a different story.

:-)

Have a super day everyone!

That is a great idea. Currently I'm reading the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I'm on book 4 right now, and I only read them at night before bed...

Maybe if I picked up my book and didn't just watch the Food network I'd not get the munchies all the time. Hrm.

Maybe get something you would "normally" get, but only eat half of it. Have a salad before going to help fill up before hand so you don't go over board. Plus, you'll have dinner for tomorrow as well! Thats what I always do when I eat out :) I like being thrifty and get two meals out of it.

Wow, I totally get the same feeling... Never hungry, never full. I guess when I'm "hungry" I get this pain in my stomach and I feel faint. If I'm full I feel bloated... Guess my body is just bad at sending proper 'food' signals... I find water, Gum, Sour things, and almonds really help with the weird 'must fill void' feelings...
