whatever I did this morning, must have worked…no back ache!! magic…
Ok, so my back feels great…but now my legs are sore from rolling them…especially in my calves. I’m thinking it’s normal?
Also, been thinking about ditching this diet(it’s been 3 weeks) I feel I have repented(suffered) enough and learned my lesson about eating too much crap I know I shouldn’t have been eating to begin with.
I was looking and FEELING my leanest May-June and thats when I was focusing on 1-2 heavy moves per session coupled with circuit-y training; before the hubby left 
Diet was moderate, no deprivation or missing food groups, lol…
I’ve said it before: I wanna WORK for these last 10! And be healthier for it.
Great vid! You can always PM the hyper vid…
ohhhhh…canned pumpkin!! oh my god, have you tried it with cinnamon, nutmeg, and some vanilla protein? or just some slenda? freakin pumkin is so good.
yep, thats the best way to eat it Brute…haven’t tried it with protein, but I bet it would make for some good protein pumpkin pancakes!
So I weighed in this morning and I haven’t lost a single oz from last week. I know I’m holding water because of you know what about to show her ugly face.
It’s been three weeks. I lost the initial 8-9lbs in the first two weeks.
I want to get down below 175 to make it the official ‘last 10lbs’…That gives me two weeks to get 4-5lbs off. I’m speaking in riddles.
Ok, atm, I weigh 179, could be less because of water weight. Because I’m stubborn(or stupid) I’ll give it til Oct 15th.
I have 165 in my head by years end, even though, IRL, I just want my pants to fit again.
My two cents: don’t quit the diet now. The name of this log is finish what you started. So finish it, if you can do so without harming yourself or others.
October 15th is a good date. We’ll cheer you on until then!
i have always hated pumpkin pie… but everyone’s always drooling over pumpkin stuff… i might have to give it another unbiased try. scared!
I don’t like pie. I just like the stuff inside! 
My pumpkin cream cheese concoction was very nom nom this morning…I love refeeds!
Kimba- I wouldn’t just STOP working towards my goals, but it’s the type of diet that I am doing. you know, the one that I said I wouldn’t do again? haha…I just figured, why continue mentally draining myself when I could take the moderate approach(more food n cardio). whats another two weeks though? heh. I’ll probably get a nice little whoosh after the witch leaves.
i think u should go a bit more moderate myself. pick some good nutritional rules and stick with them. that’s the key. ditching the junk binges.
if you’re gonna feel like a quitter than just stick with what you’re doing for two weeks. but i don’t think it’s worth feeling miserable over. losing fat doesn’t have to be torture.
well i don’t like the pie cuz i don’t like the filling. silly. =+P
squats, getting better I think…
these looked rushed, but I was trying to go for speed and stop dicking around with the weight.
I felt my butt working(literally) I think I like the ‘hip drive,’ way of doing it.

Yes, I’d feel like a quitter. I don’t feel miserable per se…
I have this irrational fear of failing at the moderate approach. But that was because in the past I wasn’t getting steady results, so I jumped from program to program and experimented with different eating styles. I didn’t give anything long enough to work. Have I learned from that? yes. BUT! I’m so close to my final ‘destination,’ that I’d rather do it the hard/fast way than risk not meeting my goals in time.
If that even makes sense.
Do I even know how to lose weight in a sensible way? haha
That’s why I was going to work for the last 10…no more crash diets…Really EARN my way.
yah i totally understand. i think i’m finally at a place where i can be totally moderate… but it took me years to get here and i still have my ups and downs. the big thing is just not having the binges. once you can master the going off the deep end shit… the rest falls into place. =+)
I’d take 5 @ 135 lbs. exactly like those, please.

With a side order of that hair.
Just a thought, maybe you could try some sort of diet cycle? Like, try a “moderate” approach for a week or two, then go hardcore for a week or two, back and forth until you train yourself into consistency, or find a happy medium? It sounds like you would function well with occasional “reminders,” rather than trying to wrap your head around doing the same thing foeva and eva!
aren’t you warm working out in long sleeves? I wear a T-shirt and soak it through by the time I’m done.
and lovely squats MIM

No shit! That’s what I look like doing just the bar! You’re so awesome, MiM!
Great Vid MIM! you are getting leaner every time I catch glimpses of you on the interwebz! You are doing great! Keep it up!
MIM, I’m just checking in to see how you’re making out. You look great. I admire your tenacity in taking off the weight.
Having said that, when are you going to put on weight… on the bar? I haven’t checked in a while but have you gone over 135? I may have missed it but that weight looks so easy for you. You could easily be pushing it a lot heavier. I may have missed whether there’s a reason you haven’t, if you haven’t.

x3! I always forget how fantastic your squatting (and hair!) is.
Seriously MiM, what’s up with all that clothes? lol! you know I just wanna see you squatting in shorts
Hmm…i got nothing for you on the diet, especially considering how wacky my eating is. The thing is, for me, I need refeed days since I got my binge eating issues. With the way I eat, its so helpful for me to know that I can eat healthfully and sensibly Sunday - Thurs and then go nutty (literally, chocolate covered peanuts are my kryptonite) over the weekends. It works for me mentally and physically. Only downside is that the leaning out process is sloooow, if at all - so i’m basically eating at maintenance.
Seriously mama, you’re almost there! Wait for the hormones to level and re-assess. Maybe instead of using a certain amount of weight as a goal, just give yourself two hard-core weeks of diet, no scale checking. After those two weeks, whatever the outcome is, just proclaim, ‘Hallelujah, i did it!’ and go into maintenance. Just a thought…
