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.... det |

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

You got more baggage than a train. |

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. |

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. i 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. det |

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'. j "determined" wrote in message ... I'm recuperating from a broken heart and bad allergies...

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.

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. det |
