The Law of Averages/The lesser of 2 evils

So I had a bad day at work yesterday and I ended up staying late and we get a free meal when we do that (yeah you can see where I am going with this). I was hungry but all I had in my bag was 2 grapefruits and a 100 cal snack which didn't interest me at all. So I was thinking about ordering, but ended up get a bag of chips out of the vending machine (150 cal) I was ok and then I got home and ate dinner.

So when I got home from my bad day I decided to get on the scale to see where I am at. I figured if I wasn't down no point in spoiling a good day when I had a perfectly good bad one today.

So I got down and I was 320 (5/8/2008). So since May 2 (7 days) I've lost 5 lbs and which I can't say I was a strict in my dieting it is working. I think it is more due to the addition of weight in some way with every work out. Next weigh in is May 15th so wish me luck.

So on to the averages part. I weighed myself last night and I was 320 I got up this morning and peed and passed gas (sorry I had to take it there) and I was still 320. so my scale can store 5 different weight profiles so weighed my I weighed myseld again and I was 319.8. woo hoo next time 320 (boo hiss) so 3 times I was 319.8 and the other I was 320 so we're going with 319. Woo HOO.

Another reason I got on the scale was I have to go to my parents and the downward momentum will make me more motived to stay on plan.


--Added later

I did watp power mile and a new DVD the firm super sculpt. Didn't really care for it. Will write more about it another time. (30 min of excercise)

I know it is isn't alot but considering every friday I stay in bed and don't work out again until monday I think it is a good thing.

Staying on Track even when cheating.

Usually when I post there is a overall point or idea I'm trying to express.  This is just a catchup post.  Last week I only worked out once.  Part of that was due to working late and just not being able to get it together and part was Friday waking up and being heavier than I thought I should be.  In the end I realized I'm still in the mid 350s, and didn't sky rocket up tot he 360s.  I didn't binge and totally screw my progress so I'm happy. So I do want to list my cheats this weekend. I had a party weekend and I cheated, but it was pretty controlled.  Friday I had a parfait from my usual salad spot.  Thai chili wings from the restaurant at the hotel.  Saturday Fish Tacos and Thai chili wings (yes, I really liked them, lol). Sunday Cheesy potatos and half a waffle for breakfast.  I ate in addition to this stuff, but it was on plan. I was starting to get into the mindset that I need to workout harder and longer and whenever I start doing that it work agains

Doing ok

Only did the second cheerleader video can't find belly butt and thighs, so I might do that tonight. cardio overdrive 40 min, I thought it was really only 20 something. So I'm good for right now. Eating has been pretty good. I'll get on the scale saturday morning. Something I realized I'm never going to be as focused as when I first started this journey, which is probably ok since I couldn't maintain that forever...same food over and over again ...blah... Yesterday I had a busy day and wanted to go out and buy food even though I had brough lunch. I stayed in the office and ate my rice and carrots. Something else in NY they have the calories on everything, so the choclate crossiant that I had brainwashed myself into believe it was 200 Calories is more like 400+ with a class of milk that about 600 calories for breakfast. So i realized I could have an english muffin, milk and saugage (from home) and be just as fine....so even less eating out. I don't want to kno

Some Fail, but happy

So this week I wanted to be lower than I started, but I gained a lb....I'm not beating myself up...I went out a couple times, drank , had fried, white castle, sugary drinks..and only gained a pound...even with going out twice I think I ate mostly paleo other than that. I need to stay away from the Chinese buffet and the French pastry spot. I made chunkey Monkey muffins (first paleo recipe) and they were awesome...no frankenfood and finally have an alternative to eggs everyday. I also made cauliflower rice  I linked the recipe, but I made it two ways.. 1. baked some chicken, and then sautéed the cauliflower in that and then just sautéed some onions and the sautéed the cauliflower in that....bother were good...for me I think I need 2-4 head to last me a whole week. I made cabbage and chicken sobrose from skinny taste. lasted the whole week...and now for what I'm making this week I think Imma try paleo pancakes, bacon salomon croquette Damn fine chicken from no
