The sacrifice we make for love; Why whining gets on my nerves!
Well well well THE PILATES CLASS KICKED MY BUTT! It’s a different instructor, different moves and man did she work me!!!! Suffice to say I did no eat enough today although I ate mainly high protein, complex carbs in the form of veggies and fruits. I’m happy with just the one class.
I’m going to go to sleep or attempt to sleep right now. Rod and I checked Fandango and Transformer II is playing at 12am at most of the theaters here. The plan was to go Wednesday evening BUT he’s so excited to see this. The sacrifices that we make for love. I just hope I can fall asleep. That means I have to get up watch this movie then go to bed and at work by 8am.
The great thing is, teeeeeheeeeeeee Blaithin, I will NOT take an exercise day off and try to get a run in. The Pilates class is mainly for core so I feel I can do cardio tomorrow and weights Thursday. I really am missing my running girl! I want it bad!
Something has been bothering me. I never blame anyone, anything for my lack of weightloss. It’s not the clothes fault, or the scale’s fault or my familie’s fault………..it’s my fault that I’m not making good decisions. I’m the one who does or does not eat the right food. I’m the one who does not exercise. I’m the one who decides that sitting and watching tv is better then taking a walk. Its’s all on me. Outside factors are excuses. Stop with the excuses and take control of your own journey.
And if someone has a problem with what I have to say, it’s not a reflection of me, these are my thoughts and my blog and my journal. MJ wrote a wonderful blog about negativity. I just get so sick and tired of the whining. Whine whine whine. I used to whine all the time. Oh pooor is me. Feel sorry for me. No - I don’t feel sorry for you! Do something about it. Do it for yourself. If you put the effort in, I’m there to cheer you on. If all you do is whine, I have no time for it. Changes are hard. It’s not easy. In fact it takes a lot of effort to change! And if I get negative comments - I’m deleting. I have no time for it!
To me, if you don’t like fruit, eat it!!! It’s good for you! Find something you can tolerate! If you don’t like veggies - try it!!! You will find something you can eat!!!
If you can’t do vigorous exercise - walk it!!!! You are not in competition with anyone. You have to do it for you!!!! NO ONE ELSE!! DON’T COMPARE YOUR JOURNEY TO ANYONE! THIS IS AN INDIVIDUAL JOURNEY. TAKE THE REIGN AND BE IN CONTROL!!!
What I respect and always respect, are those who tries!!! Give it a try. We all have good days and bad days. It’s part of the journey. At some point the BS has got to stop and be real. Then you will continue to grow and progress towards a healthier you.
ACTIONS ALWAYS SPEAKS LOUDER THEN WORDS!
BTW, WILDFIRE IS RAGING! lol
I love your honesty! I’m supposed to going to see the movie at midnight too. I dont think I will make it, I just got home from school and I still have homework. But I may let my BFF may talk me into it, LOL. I want to see this movie but I hate to not be able to hear it and the theatres are expecting to be packed. I was waiting to Thursday in the daytime but my friends have to work. I’ll see.
wow that honesty is great. I think the same way by the way. yes I have bad days and well I have abit of whine but I STILL DO IT.. if I do not who am I hurting. MYSELF>. no one is doing it for me either so well I bitch and moan sometimes I still get up and put one foot infront of the other..
I have a busy life and I still find time. if you find time to blog, watch tv you have time to exercise..
Okay I am done now.. before I get myself in trouble..
LOve it and totally agree with it.
i dont try i dont do anything i love whining lmao
I used to whine a lot. I used to blame others for the way I was. But then I woke up and realised that I was the one putting the food in my mouth now that I’m an adult. I can say “no”. Others may cause certain negative emotions to come up on me, but I control how I deal with these emotions, whether or not to drown them with food or exercise.
You’re right Nancy… time to start taking responsibility for ourselves.
Nancy - That is why YOU are a winner. You take responsibility for your own actions and don’t blame others.
I always say that you know you are doing it right if you are upsetting people !! (But that could be just me!)
I also always say (I say a lot as you might have guessed) take responsibility for your own actions but not for other people’s reactions
AS long as there are human beings there will be positive energy sappers.
Sing as you go and ignore the naysayers
Love to you

Nancy, this is NOT whining—my tummy HURTS !
Rod must really be a SUPER movie buff, huh? To the movie at midnight? That is some serious movie LOVE !
) or veggie eating or fruit eating they wanna be. I think the part to point out is that whining doesnt work and whining is not a positive quality and that positive attitudes and energies are necessary for healthy weightloss. For myself, I am very open and non whiny about my lack of regular exercise. However, I am still losing. I do agree that I find it hard to believe that the people who r shocked that they are not losing ever are “doing everything right.” I mean, I dont think all those people have metabolic d/o, do you? I think that a positive attitude and being honest with oneself are key to being a success ! Hope you get some good rest tonight after that late movie and ur workouts ~~~
I think what we can remember is that, like you said, “we can’t compare our journey to someone else’s, we have to take the reigns of our OWN journey”—this is true for no matter how someone decides they are going to lose, or not lose… Or how quickly they wanna lose or how physically fitnessy (I made that up
Love it! Love, love, love the honesty.
Well I know precsely who you’re implying here, but I’m sure she STILL won’t see it.. I try new veggies and fruit, I re-try veggies.. I keep going back and trying broccoli… just don’t like it. Who knows, maybe I will discover a new veggie that I just love, but if I don’t keep trying I’ll never know, right? You’re workouts are what you put into them. You kick ass, where as the person next to you or ‘competing’ with you says they’re doing their exercise, but we all know they aren’t. I just wish people would not only quit whining, but quit lying!!
I AM TRYING HARD NOT TO BE A WHINNER ..AND BE SOMEONE WHO PUTS EFFORT IN EVERYDAY..I THINK I AM GETTING THERE AGAIN ONLY A WALK BUT DID 4 MILES EVEN WITH MY FAMILY GETTING IN THE WAY . I WALK ON MY OLD AND LOUD VERY LOAD TREDMILL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM TRYING TO WATCH TV. MAYBE NEXT TIME THE WILL LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET ME GET MY WALK IN WHILE I AM IN TOWN!!!
I hear ya! I used to be very bad about that and then I decided that it was ridiculous and that I was in control. Love ya!
love what you said. i use to whine, but NO MORE!! NOT ME!! i have a friend that is whining. all i can say is, do what you need to do.. to lose your weight and SHUT IT UP!!
I agree. I get pissy and start with “Well, if my boyfriend did that or that, if such and such happened, if it wasn’t for blah blah blah” and then I realize I am doing exactly what I can’t stand in other people! Your life is your responsibility. Blaming others is just avoiding responsibility and adding to the problem.
Oh, I totally agree. Sometimes we whiners don’t even realize what we’re doing til later. LOL I think for some (like me!) it’s a natural tendency to whine or blame others for our mistakes, and it takes a lot of personal growth and self-acceptance to place the blame where it belongs. I’m much better now than I used to be; as a young adult, nothing was EVER *my* fault. LOL Even now though, I have to think twice before I speak when I’m in one of my “moods”.
And the foods! It’s too true! Even if you don’t like it, eat it anyway. You’re not a toddler anymore! Swallow a few bites. You’ll learn to like it, or at least tolerate it. I never ate fruits or veggies, and that’s one of the things I’m proud to say I’ve changed (complete 180) over the past year. Things that used to gag me are now tasty.
Any change takes time; don’t sell yourself short by giving up prematurely!!
“Stop with the excuses and take control of your own journey.” I want a shirt with this statement! Good lord you are right on! If we have the energy to whine, then we have the energy to change it!!
I still whine. But you bet your bottom I get my butt to the gym every single day. I eat what Im supposed to, and when I dont see the results I wanna see, yah I get bummed out. But I never quit.
Im over the excuses. Excuses are what piss me off. I was at that point in my life too many times. But we are all adults here and all taking charge of our own lives. You choose what you eat, you choose what you do or dont do for exercise, and you choose your lifestyle.
