I only did 30 mins of exercise today. Twenty minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 mph, 60 pushups and few minutes on the stair stepper and 60 crunches. I was going to do another 30 minutes tonight but I just didnt have the energy. I got in a pretty big argument with one of the parents of the kids I watch this afternoon and it took a lot out of me. A parent was having a bad day and decided to run her mouth about me to a friend of mine (she didnt know we were friends), and it obviously got back to me. I confronted her (I'm not great at just bottling my feelings), and she suprisingly admitted her fault and apologised PROFUSELY. She even asked for a hug after and said she felt like puking because she was so upset about it. I was like, then why were you dumb and running your mouth in the first place???? Her excuse was that she was overwhelmed and having a bad day and just directed it towards me. I told her if she had an issue with me than she needed to confront me, not run her mouth to other people.. I was so pissed. Anyway, so, I did get some exercise in just not as much as I intended. I ate well but as I stated before, I am going to log on here everything that I eat for the day.Breakfast was a Fiber One Bar and a coffee w/ splendaLunch was an english muffin an egg and canadian bacon (6 grams fat total, 230 c)Dinner was a turkey burger on a whole wheat bun with FF miracle whip and lots of lettuce and shreded cabbage. A handful of baked fries. 2 Big glasses of waterSnack was a bowl of Fiber One Rainsin Bran w/ FF milk. Ive had 10 glasses of water so far. So tell me, was that bad for a day of eating? My husband thinkgs I may need to break up my exercise throughout the day because ever since I have bumped up my workout to 1 hr straight, my weight loss has stopped. My body definatly looks more tone but I have only lost two inches in my waist since NYE, and 7 pounds. I need those damn numbers to go down. I am proud of myself for being good with the eating though because usually before my monthly, all that I want is fast food.. So, I think that shows I have improved. Anyway, I would appreciate your input. Have a great night everyone!

Wow, confronting that mom really set her straight. No one likes to be caught in a situasion like that. It really snapped her back to reality. Good for you! You are so much braver in this regard than I would have been.
Well, you are certainly not eating too much and are drinking your water. The only thing I can think to add is even more healthy veggies. Dividing up the exercise into two sessions might not be a bad idea either. It really sounds like you are doing all the right things, just give it more time.
Sounds like you are doing well. I would add a snack of fruit in there.... apples are great fiber. :) I think one thing people forget... are your clothes looking better? Sometimes the scale doesnt show the total package. I have dropped 2 dress sizes just by dropped 26 pounds. Muscle does weigh more. :) You are doing great.. congrats on the weight this morning too.... HUGs!!
Sounds great to me! Do you have time to do 15 or 20 minutes in the morning? Your body might think, HEY she MEANS it! lol. You excercising is awesome, and so consistent!!
Ok. For one..go you for sticking up for yourself. Im so damn shy I usually can\'t do that sort of thing. For two..you ate awesome today. That was very disaplined. Im so happy for you:) Great job today.
P.S. Im was sick all day so I didn\'t eat..no good..but tomorrow i will track mine as well:D
