Default took the week off...

I'm recuperating from a broken heart and bad allergies... So this week has
been gym-free and my eating habits have centered around peanut butter and
oreo cookies w/milk... I'm feeling better emotionally and physically today,
and will be ready to hit the gym full force again next week. Sometimes I
think it's ok to drop off the wagon, as long as you give yourself a deadline
to get back in gear. I'm up a couple lbs this week, no doubt from all the
carbs........but they were so good!

Off topic, the breakup hasn't been so bad, but I still have to work with
him, which is kind of like ripping a scab off every day. I imagine it will
get better with time, but right now, the knife twists every time I see or
talk to him. Even though I know this is for the best....

I think it's good to have a "time off" from the diet every once in awhile.
I think it leaves a person feeling less deprived.

Quit again just like I said you would.

My father once told me: "Don't get your pussy where you get your
paycheck."

Adjust accordingly.

Grow up.

His best that he dumped you.

Smart guy. You got more baggage than a train.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
oreos....

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Glad you are feeling better. It will get better. Especially when
youa re ready to move on. Although the next phase/hurdle to get over
is dealing with the either of your moving on and beginnign to date
again. But you will handle that just fine, I'm confident of that.

That's a total and complete lie.

let's see how "determined" is really determined... I am not so sure if
she will go back to gym next week, or that she will resume healthful
eating habits. I hope that she proves me wrong.

Difficulties of dating at work are well documented... I am sorry about
her personal situation and I sympathize. We have all been there, it
hurts for a while.

Your post alone will probably trigger the anger reflex of "I'll show
that asshole" with Determined and make her all the more determined to
get back to the gym. You may even encourage her to go today - and
then she can post tomorrow that she really didn't take the whole week
off afterall.

Your psychology is rather amusing. :-)


How ironic! I did go to the gym on my lunchbreak today... just couldn't
NOT go another day. And now I see this. Igno, how appropriate that you
should choose such a name. I've been going to the gym regularly for over a
year now. Sometimes, I take a week off - but I know the only way to
maintain success is to keep at it - so I keep going back. And I'm at goal
weight, and have been there for months, so neener neener.

I only did cardio - but got a good sweat up, and felt rejuvinated
afterwards. Not feeling terribly dedicated to my weightlifting regimen
today, but glad to have broken my gym-break early.

Breaking up is always painful and I think you deserve a week off to be
indulgent and tend to yourself. If you had a ruptured appendix, you
wouldn't go around pretending nothing hurt, would you?

Stepping back and looking at things objectively and giving yourself a
deadline was also very smart.

You deserve so much more than a relationship that isn't working for you. I
do a lot of work with my BF's company and have had to put in time with his
staff on rare occasions when we were not doing well. It was remarkably
painful. Just seeing his car in the parking lot and knowing he was there or
hearing him referenced in conversations we were having and pretending that I
was all about business was a trial in perseverance or something. I feel for
you but as Carol and Papa Hemmingway say, "The Sun Also Rises'.

Ahhhh det. I'm right there with you, my heart is absolutely broken and
theres very little I can do about it but carry on and keep my head above
water. One thing I didn't do was indulge although the milk and cookies
sounds delicious. I put extra effort into my exercise and my WOE to
counter act any insane-food-junkie thinking that might happen. It
worked. I refuse to blow my hard work and progress physically and
mentally over HIM(or anyone for that matter). He's not worth MY
relationship with MYSELF that I am trying to salvage, cultivate and
explore is how I've looked at things this last week. This is a very
me/me/me time right now and even my children sense it. And that is OK. I
have to do this for ME so I will be here for THEM later. So take the
time you need to heal, regardless of how you heal thyself. YOU are worth
it.

Yes Susan. And so are YOU. Don't forget it. And yes, this is a me me me
time for me too. Pain is a good motivator for change! And I'm doing alot
of things I didn't think I'd ever do - counseling, going to church, support
groups, etc. And it feels GOOD.
