Good job on being busy AND maintaining your clean diet and exercise - kudos to you woman, you have come a LONG way!! :hug:




Well you can count me in on helping jump you back on the roadmermaid said:Hey there ladies - been MIA the past couple of days...
I feel much better healthwise - it's a taken about 3 weeks or so but I'm definitely on the up. However, I've put on some weight because my diet and routine have not been so vigilant - waistbands are a little tighter and I'm just generally softer all over.
It's year-end in Australia so I will be extremely busy over the next 10 days clearing my desk so I can go on my trip without having to worry about work. I'll still be checking in every day but not logging again until I get back from the US (end July). I am hoping that the few ladies that I meet will be able to help spur me back on to the right track with my diet/training. In any case, the break will do me good.
I'm not off the wagon though - got up for AM cardio, eating reasonably well (though not measuring/checking macros) and taking all supps as previously logged. I've added 5HTP in place of the meds. And swigging my Nervatona Calm elixir straight from the bottle when necessary, much to the amusement of my co-workers.

Not long now....so cool....
Made a decision - the job has to go. Once I'm back from my trip, I'll be actively looking for another role outside this company. Quite honestly, I deserve better.
Extremely excited about getting some good tips from the people I'll meet next week as I am very keen to capitalise on what I've learned so far.
Still AM cardio-ing, healthy eating.
And smiling![]()

Wholey do I know how you feel. I got off holidays a week a go and same thing... is my scale broken?? or did I JUST break it?? I felt almost akward going back to the gym.mermaid said:I'm back and in the post holiday blues.
But I had the most fabulous time and just feel so lucky to have met some some great people.
I have some very different goals and will be starting a new journal and yes, I will be kicking some major ass! Mine. I got on the scale tonight and almost fell off in shock. I shouldn't be surprised as I consumed some serious junk - I had a list - and checked off every single one. I ate clean today except for the last bowl of chocolate ice cream I shall have for a long long time. I also went to the gym and it felt like I was training for the first time. I have a very steep hill ahead![]()
But no whining - just doing it![]()
