The Holidays are OVER, NO MORE EXCUSES, Motivational Thread Starting 1/9/12

Oh, Mary had some really good ideas about losing muscle mass.
Way to go, Mary! Sounds like you know a LOT about that stuff.
I forgot I decided that starting this week, when my goal is an AVERAGE for the week, if I go over on any given day I will put that daily number in BLUE. To me RED signifies that I did not meet my goal and my goal for the averages is a GREEN AVERAGE at the END of the week. I'm glad I remembered that this evening because it's two less RED numbers from yesterday staring me in the face; so my disappointment in myself is lessened as I can put those two otherwise red numbers behind me.
Food has been strictly on plan today, but my day got messed up with other stuff going on. Before I knew it, it was time to pick up the kids from school and I didn't have my exercise in. Here it is almost 7:30PM and I STILL don't have it done. I'm scheduled off exercise on Thursdays and Sundays, so I'm taking today off and will exercise tomorrow instead. I know I'm not required to report that (LOL) but sometimes writing stuff out here helps me with my determination to make right something I should have made time for in my day.
Amy, when you feel tense, try clenching your BUTT CHEEKS instead of your JAW. You'll have a skinny tush in no time!

Just realized I never posted my Tuesday numbers, so I'll kill 2 birds with one stone and do yesterday and today all at once
Health/Fitness
1--1200 to 1300 calories during the week, max 1500 on the weekends--1228, 1079, TBA but I know it'll be under 1300
2--at least 64 oz water a day!--oh yes I did, didn't get the full 64 but it was a close call. I'll call it a draw seeing as I only had the 1 Dew again, not even close!!!
3--exercise at least 4 times--I've GOT to nail this one this week. I start out the week so good and then the latter part rolls around and I get tired. BUT NO EXCUSES THIS WEEK!!--yes, yes, day off
4--shooting for at least a 2 lb loss--starting weight Monday morning~222.8--didn't weigh, up 0.6, down 0.2 from starting weight.....all over the place so far this week
Life/Home
1--clean out car--UGH it's driving me insane!!--didn't have to build an ark, so I got most of it done, still need to vacuum her though
2--keep up to date on paperwork--so far so good this week
3--go BACK to store and get them to take the security device off new sweater--tomorrow after work
DONE!4--clean out refridgerator--it's not pretty in there --OH YEAH BABY! Nothing too scary either, AND now I can see what is exactly in there

One of the main reasons why crash dieting is so bad (particularly without exercise) is people tend to lose muscle rather than fat which causes their metabolism to slow and then when they go back to their "normal" diet, they gain more weight than they originally had because they have less muscle...slower metabolism.
Probably more than you wanted to know, but I was on a roll

I just had a Sonic Blast, I was craving it so much. Just finished it and now I almost feel sick. It seemed like way to much, which is odd b/c I haven't been going low carb...
