Strickland5 wants to scream

[Strickland5]

This is me right now. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I might post later but knows - sort of gotten pretty disillusioned of late ... maybe that's just me. 

[Scatterbunn]

Totally understand. Hope things get better for you.

[The Running Man]

Yeah same here - hope things get better for you as well. If you wanna vent at someone am happy to listen.

It has alot to do with my recent gain in weight - which I'm pretty sure is cause I stopped doing kettlebells cold turnkey and didn't adjust diet as much as I should've  ... so yeah good times here! X_x

Right there with you. I am on a downward trend again, but the approaching holidays frankly scare the hell out of me. >.>

The most relaxing gif on the internet.

You know, if we let disillusion take over when we find ourselves backtracking, that only means that we'll have to recover more ground later on. Best to start back on the healthy habits. <3

"Doing everything right" healthy weight, relatively healthy diet, exercising DAILY pretty much the OPPOSITE of the stereotypical T2 diabetic and yet dealing with abnormal blood sugars and my TG and LDL are up (not in danger zone yet (ldl is close) but higher than last year when I had taken 2 months off and was eating garbage) and my HDL is down a little . 90%+ of the advice for diabetics is "lose weight, move more" doesn't really apply to me. 5 foot 10 female 150lbs. Working on building muscle and cutting carbs but kind of frustrated/discouraged/confused that I decided to lose weight (down 28 lbs from heaviest) and get in shape but my "health numbers" are worse.

[Strickland5]

Goals :

• Minimize booze
• Workout consistently
• Work on list of SFO move items

I would keep in touch with your doctor, and keep in mind that just because something is healthy doesn't mean it isn't a sugar bomb. Unhealthy foods may not spike the numbers the way some healthy foods do, but that doesn't mean that losing weight was a waste. <3

SFO? That means San Francisco airport in my head. O.o 

 

I am with you on working out consistently. I'll be doing my routine in the mornings, so I will check back here and stay accountable if that's encouraging for you. :-) I know that the scouts were always a small group, but without our more talkative members it sure feels lonely around here.

That's cause that is exactly what I meant to imply

Swing on by!

 

Today the wife and I went for a walk as I had an 8AM meeting which means less time to work out  

[Koaladle]

So are move items because you're moving there, or is that a work thing? O.o

 

I did my workout, too!

We're moving / relocating to there - we've both lived in Georgia for all our lives and since we sold our house last we decided to move away.

[Koaladle]

It's like we traded places! I'm from the Bay Area, my husband's from Seattle, and we settled in Florida. The two coasts are very different. :-)

Did the yogas, and am heading out to band rehearsal (cardio). How is your day going?

I will have to remember this! My feelings exactly, some of my co workers think i'm crazy to run/ride inside when work provides us a climate controlled facility.

That phrase comes from when my wife and I had to do 12 miles and it was POURING out ... we ended up doing it on the treadmill which had a 60 minute limit, so the dreadmill stopped and we had to restart it ... ugh

[Strickland5]

5 miles knocked out this morning
