Death by Buffet, Tastless Mush, 23lb ego.

Well I am munching on bacon as I type this. Bad Venus...bad...not because it is bacon, but because it was a completely random trip to the whole food supper market to pick up sushi and ended up being my realization that I cannot be trusted around a buffet....one of those things i have learned. I also have realized if I don't have good stuff to eat I won't eat it. I will never be one of those people who is trying to lose weight and eats tasteless mush.

When I got to the buffet I just wanted to try everything, they only thing that stopped me from over doing it is I don't eat eggs and just about everything had egg in it, so I got bacon turkey and pork before of course I must taste both.... and some potatoes and baked cheesy grits....Yup the breakfast of champions. So no more wholefoods in the morning....

As for the food at home. I had one more light english muffin and I have come to realize I don't like light/low/no fat foods. Give me all the fat and I will eat it in moderation...unless its in a buffet of course then all bets are off. LOL

One other things, so I am 23 pounds down and really in the grand scheme of me losing weight it isn't alot, but I think my ego has gotten kinda big..cocky even... and I need to take it down. I haven't eaten "on plan" for most of the week, although I have stuck to IE. On plan meaning bringing food to work, not eating out and so on.

So refocusing. don't want 23 pounds to stop me from losing the rest.

Quick Recap

Well I am ashamed it has been this long since I posted. I got down to 306 after much not eating and too much exercising, but after the trip to Jamaica I haven't gotten back in the groove of things. I think alot of that has to do with issues with the Ex. Those may not be settled, but i am not as emotionally invested as I won't was. With IE I was able to stay at 320 or under. I am 312 now, and focused once again. I am not nearly as strict as I was, which might also explain why I haven't gotten under 300. Anyway....Thats where I am at now. Will try and write more later.

Finding Joy in the Little Changes

So it's taken me 2 months to lose 4 lbs. I know people are are gonna ready that and be like dude you suck. There are a couple of things to note: When I started 2 months ago I was 359 and then the week after I went up to 363. I checked my spreadsheet and I haven't been 355 or lower in 4 years. I've been struggling in the 360s for YEARS !!!!!! I've been in the 350s for a couple of weeks with a mostly steady decline I'm not struggling with eating, and working out is doable. In terms of non scale victories. I can eat salad. It isn't the end of the world and honestly when I'm out and about it takes the weight of having to figure out what to eat. I don't feel the need to eat EVERYTHING on my plate. I don't eat what I don't want. ( We will ignore the cream puff I had yesterday) I have more energy. I don't come home and veg doing nothing until bed time. I mean I do it sometimes, but if I need to do something I am more lik...

Avoiding Vacation Sticker Shock and Rebounding

Back from Miami. I have come to realize women are awesome and can form great bonds, but they can also be full of drama for no reason. I had a great time and definitely want to go back. The "rules" for my trip away were no pasta, rice or potoatoes. I think I had rice or potatoes with most of my meals. I didn't go overboard, no binging or huge portions. Then there was the drinking. I haven't really drank in a while...so I didn't go overboard, but I drank my fair share. Drinks at Wet Willies in Miami My ankles were not the biggest I've seen, but definitely swollen. I decided when I got back no scale. I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. When I got back it was a struggle to get up and workout. It almost felt like the first couple of weeks. Also doing things that had gotten easier felt like a big of a struggle. Tuesday I got on the scale and I was 359.0. I am stupidly happy I was in the 350s. I'm als...
