Well I finally finished one of my weight loss goals. I walked 100 miles. I didn't do it in the time alloted (i was supposed to finish christmas day) but I think the important thing is I finished. I didn't give up. I have to say I am proud of myself. I know at around the 30 and 50 mile mark it just seemed like it was so much, but I just planned one day at a time. I am sitting here grinning like a big ole fool. So all week I have been thinking about new years resoultions. Usually i am saying I want to lose 50 lbs or workout everyday for 3 hours. Things, I think, are just no realistic. not because it isn't possible, but beause I didn't have a plan in place to accomplish those things. With the 100 miles I realize ok in order to walk to my goal I need to do at least so many miles per day or per week and this is how I am REALISTICLY going to get there. Normally I would be thing I have to lose 50lbs. Now I am thinking ok, I lost 3 lbs and I really want to lose
What am I doing for me/Scale is a Dangerous thing This was a post on 3FC in the intuitive eating thread, but it applies Life is going ok. I joined a thread called what I did for me. Which has helped me focus on the little choices I make through out the day. For instance I have been in training all week so I've had to get up earlier than usual and I buy an ice coffee from Star Bucks and eat some fruit. No problem. Except I have been watching the food display case like a kid eyeing Christmas presents. I am not hungry, it is just I am in starbucks so that is what I used to do without thinking about. So for me I left the display case alone, stuck to my pears and coffee and was happier for it. Also I think the scale did something to me. I keep having this intense desire to get on it to see if I lost anything else, but I also have no desire to go through the disappointment so leaving it alone. I keep thinking I am only 5 lbs away from my first mini goal......the scale is a dangerous dang
This will be a quick one since i'm in training and supposed to be learning stuff. There is a thread on 3FC (3fatchicks.com) called what I did for Me. I think is the best one I have posted on since I found the intuitive eating people. For me it all the little choices I make through out the day that will help me on my weight loss journey. here is what I posted. This is a little thing, but this thread is what helped me. Managed to get in and out of Starbucks with only my ice coffee. I didn't buy anything in the display cases. I think I was even a little abrupt with the cashier because I wanted to hurry and leave. LOL The other thing is at lunch went to my favorite place Mexican Chipotle Grill which is basically fast mexican food, but good and not greasy or anything. Anyway I got the Fajita Bowl (veggies instead of beans and no tortilla) and water instead of bottled juice. I figured I wanted something to drink, but it didn't have to be Juice. I also have in my head I am 5
One of my new year's resolutions was to post more in my blogs, particularly my intuitive eater blog. So I bought a scale yesterday because I couldn't find one that was easily accesible when I wanted to know my weight. It is a Tanita Scale . It is the best scale I've ever used. easy, no wacky changing depending on when you get on and off and the alignment of the moon and stars. So in 3 months I've only lost 2 lbs. I really am not as upset as I probably would have been because I lost it eating supposedly bad foods and not being miserable. I bought the scale to keep me a little more focused and honest. More later
