Insanity Workout...Day 42. Today was Max Interval Circuit - a good hour long workout. Intense, but made it through. Still can't do ALL of each interval every time, but I'm pretty happy with being able to do it at all.
Been eating a lot lately and the worst part of it is, there are probably two days that aren't recorded. Maybe more if I count when my brother was here. So much stress lately, but hopefully on the mend now. What I AM proud of, though, is that I've kept up with the workouts. I've missed one day in the last 6 weeks where I did nothing. Other than that, even on the one day off per week, I've still done the Slim in 6 routine. Today, I REALLY wasn't feeling it. In fact, it's going on 5:00 pm and I've just finished it. Kept putting it off. Then I thought I'd just do half of it, or some of it. But I thought - No! I've been doing this part consistently and well, just because I screwed up the eating part doesn't mean give up. It means I'm not perfect, and it means I still have issues to deal with, but as long as I continue to work out, I'll never be fat again. I'll have days when maybe I eat too much, but as long as I continue good, hard exercise, it won't be my downfall. And when you're healthier and stronger and more fit, it's probably easier to get right back into eating well than when you're not. Rationalization? I hope not...
So, yesterday was a wash. I didn't record food, I DID do the Max Cardio Conditioning workout, and I burned approx. 2575 calories yesterday. Let's just hope I didn't EAT that many. But you know? Right now, at this moment in time...I'm NOT going to stress about it, not going to try to figure it out. I may just let that one go. I am STILL inordinately hungry these days. I have NO idea why. I know the workouts are hard, I know I'm building muscle, but the hunger...that's sort of new. I've been doing this very consistently for nearly nine months now and it's only been in the last few weeks that I feel my hunger is not being satisfied. What's up with that?!

RWL I get like that sometimes too. I will be going along just fine and then have a week where I feel like I am not satisfied even after eating my 3 meals and two snacks. My biggest "fix" for it for me was drinking water. Yeah I know, everyone says drink drink drink water! But I put a little crystal light raspeberry ice or the fruit punch in water with a bunch of crushed ice. Drank it like a slushy of sorts. Seems to work for me. I'm sorta muchin on something and it's got a sweetness and crunchiness to it all at the same time. PLUS, it's a serving of water so double bonus. I hope you find something that works for you!

RWL, you are really kicking some serious hiney!! I read you workouts and I am amazed at the intensity of them. As for the hunger, maybe you need to eat more now that you have added so much more muscle mass to your body. And you are still losing, so I would go ahead and add something that you can eat that will satisfy your hunger without adding to much to your daily totals.

Wow, when i got on this site I never thought I'd find humor. I mean come on! Exercise and eating healthy...how fun is that?! BUT...it isn't as I had feared AND I've the added bonus of chatting with some wise and funny ladies. :) It makes things easier for sure!

Wow! No one has commented for a while, then it seemed FS has more issues again today and one time when I was able to log on - none of my buddies were on. That seemed suspicious to me. I can't be the ONLY one that logs on and walks away, right? (I'm also guilty of texting and walking away...drives my brother nuts :) Well, youngbug....I like your idea. I do try to stay away from chemicals as much as possible, but I give in for some things (coffee creamer, protein bars, celsius, the occasional frozen dinner). I might as well give THAT a try. I need to try something. And yeah, this is a riotous bunch of people on here :) I can't believe how lucky I've been to end up with such great buddies. Ctlss - thanks :) Maybe it's muscle, but it's scary when it feels out of control. Eat breakfast, then eat a plum, then I need a little something else, then it's lunch, then....you know? Like nothing is really satisfying and I HOPE it's just hunger. And klannoye - THANKS. I'm GLAD I'm still banned from the scale. There were enough things flying around here yesterday without adding a scale to the mix! I doubt I ate 2700 calories, but then...it's easier to do than you'd think. Nah...probably not. I'll still consider it a wash. And ctlss - I actually DID wonder if it was thyroid - I read somewhere that sometimes if you end up taking too much, rather than the typical symptoms of too much thyroid (rapid heart rate, insomnia, shakes, etc), in SOME people it could have the opposite effect - stop losing weight, tired, etc. I doubt if it's that, but it's something I'm going to keep in mind in case this keeps us - get some more blood work, find out what my levels are...Klannoye...You crack me up, girl! As do you, ctlss! Apparently, neither of you have MET my Shaun T (don't forget the T! HE never does... one of those people that talks about themselves in the third person...and one of the few I can forgive for that irritating pet peeve of mine). Oh, he's cute, and he's definitely built. And a commanding presence. And there IS that something-something about him that DOES seem to keep me going back for more! Oh, did I MENTION I have some masochistic tendencies??!! LOL... Oh, I could go on and on about my Shaun T....but I really need my beauty sleep. Gotta hot date in the morning :) Good thing neither one of you showed up at my door for that drink... wanna be looking my BEST for my PERSONAL trainer! Ctlss - you bring the Absinthe! I have a million bottles of wine, I have vodka, tequila, scotch, rum... you name it... EXCEPT Absinthe! I SO want to try it sometime... And youngbug...you can come sit at our table if you promise not to make us feel old!

Hey RWL! I am alive! Glad to see you are still on the wagon. I am too, work has just been crazy this past week. This week I move onto the Max, this does not excite me. Ugh.

RWL have you considered whether there is an emotional reason you are feeling so hungry?
