Preworkout supps - 2 grams l-carnitine/sobe
Cardio - 45 minutes / 30 minutes mountain trail / 15 misc
I was a dumb ass and forgot to eat this morning so I did my cardio on an empty stomach...at 11:30am. I am shaking like a leaf right now. I usually like to wait an hour after I do my cardio before I eat but not sure I'll do that this time.
I hurt my shoulder by coughing and forget to eat? Seriously, what kind of person does those things.

Listen Pam, I think it is important not to categorize yourself negatively. Very important. Of course you need to be aware of what's going on and to try to do your best. But calling yourself names is only counterproductive. I'm serious. Dumb ass Bad mom ??!!?? If somebody else said you were a bad mom, it would break your heart. So why would you say it ? Such a thing should not be thought, much less said. Even if you tell yourself you don't mean it, the very presence of such thoughts is poisonous. You've heard "you are what you eat" Well, you are what you think, too. Take a look at this book as well. I was directed to it by a brilliant Doctoral level neuropsycologist friend of mine. It is very very good. I did have to put a brown paper cover on it because of the title and the simpering pus on the author on the cover, but the content is really good. It addresses destructive mental habits. www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0452281326/qid=1069195857/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/002-7983566-8774418You may want to consider reducing physical stress at this time. Save your strength. Keep your hand in, to be sure, but power iron and HIIT right now ? Maybe you should be in a maintenance cycle. As though you are competing in a tough event. Come to think of it, you are. Keep the faith, fish |

.Pam,even if you have no appetite you've got to get back into the eating routine. You're putting your body in a starvation mode and it's reacting accordingly. I'd nominate you for Mom of the Year and I'd vote for you too. Nothing like a good hot dog . |

You're right fish...I shouldnt do that. I am just getting so frustrated...with myself...with this marriage, if one can call it that.....with not seeing any progress...with this marriage....
I do feel bad when I dont cook for the kids...hotdogs isnt my idea of a good meal but ya know, I guess it could be worse. I know I am hard on myself....but I feel like I have to be. I feel like I've let myself down with this weight stuff...I worked so hard to lose that 120 lbs...and now..this....I believe part of the reason for this is stress...and I know I have to get my act together if I'm going to get past this.
Jack I know I need to eat. I seriously did not try not to eat...I just simply forgot....I know that sounds so lame, and when I used to weigh 300 lbs I couldnt imagine "forgetting" to eat...but I do...I just get busy after the kids leave and before I know its lunch time.
Thanks guys...thanks for the links to the books fish.
