Getting back on the WAGON Again

Well I have haven't blogged in a while because from Nov-Feb I just fell over the wagon. I was so far off the wagon I could even see the wagon. March I spent relearning and working my way back into a routine of excercise. April I was sort kinda back no the wagon and now it is May and I am hopeing to stay consistent with for one whole month. I was down to 314 in march but I am up to 325 and I notice anything over 320 and my joints start to ache. The other thing that happened was I was talking to a woman I know and she said she load 64 lbs and she was in a size 22/24. If I had stayed on plan I would be way below that....Also I want to be able to ride a rollarcoaster before the amusement park (Six Flags) closes for the year.

I think alot of the problem I had staying focused Nov-Feb was relationship issues. MY finally ending it completely with my ex, dating someone new and eating alot, and my girlfriend having issues with her boyfriend and wanting to hang out and hanging out always involves eating. So I think I am back on a routine.

So the things I am going to try and stick to.

Only water and Milk
Twice a week and I can 1 juice or soda
800 Min of excercise for the month
Only eating out 4 times a month.
No dunkin donuts
no applebees
Blog as much as possible.

So I realized one of the reasons I feel off the wagon was I was eating the same things over and over again and was bored, so we're going to try and not make myself crazy and find more of a variety of things to eat. Also I don't really have anyone to talk to in person. Using forums are ok, but I miss having someone to talk to in real life about the ups and downs of losing weight.

I don't weight myself again until the 15th so we are going back to my attitude of anything lower than where I am now is good.

25 min of excercise to (WATP)

Oh yeah I went out for Indian food last night so that counts as one of my go out times for this month.

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...
