339 - ok...choices...slow and steady

So this week I tried to make better choices...no trying to plan the whole day just better choices. I was hungry one night going home and knew I would have about 2 hours before i got home and by the time I go home ...normally I would have picked up a crossaiant (400 calories) and i really am not a fruit person and never will be, but that is coming later. So I figured out ok I don't want fruit which would have been the asy choice but I didn't really want and I don't wanna waste of calories...So I picked out a chicken pest salad for 200 calories. I think I am going to make that for one of my meals this week.

I ate out twice this week, and it wasn't the greatest. One NSV that did happen was, whenever i go out with my girlfriend from work she never finishes her food and she offeres it for me, nad even if i've been doing good, I feel like I fall off the wagon, but then eating her food too. Well this time I was kinda lusting for what she had (chef salad) but I said no. Then the funny thing was she tried 3-4 more times. I dn't think she was trying to sabotage so much as not letting food go to waste, but I learned...I don't have to eat everything. This has been going on for years...and I know I've mentione it before so thats is cool.

So 2 lbs in 5 days. I'm happy with. I am going to try re-reading the overfed head to get me into less eating for no reason. I realize when I come home at night, even if I've eaten I wanna put something in my mouth. So I had some left over rice. Not horrible and nothing that is going to change over night, but I would like to work on it.

I didn't work out today, but again Friday seems to be my off day, pretty focused on getting something in tomorrow since I'm home. Only thing i need to do is food shop...so no pressure to get up early and rush some where.

So this week I paid more attention to when I ate and how much and when I got hungry....
So I eat 4 meals a day. the problem seems to be the gap between lunch at work and dinner when I get home (on my late days) and dinner at home at 6pm and wanting to eat again one more time by about 10 pm...I think it is because I have a weird schedule from day to day.

So I am going to make sure I have breakfast 2 lunches and dinner. I could just have 3 meals and a snack, but I've found I just end up hungry again. Blah.

So I am goin going to make
Martha stewarts chinese cabbage rolls
Spinach and pasta
salmon cakes
jambalya for dinner. over broccli
I will also pick up a 100 calories snack.

One of the other things I am trying to avoid is burning myself out by eating the same thing over and over again. I think I did that when I last the weight when I first started and could neve really commit to eating better again permanently.

Also I am going to applebess and I can have an appetizer with a salad and seltzer. I think giving up Applebees is great, but I would like ti make it manageable.

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

Getting old

So yesterday was a pretty ok day, It all went down hill when I ate my salad for lunch.  In literally the last year I've become allergic to tree nuts,not peanuts.  I'm not a big nut person in general, but yesterday I had a salad with pesto checking in it.  I got itchy.  My co-worker realized the pesto probably had pine nuts in it. So they gave me some children's benedryl..I think I was better off being slightly itchy.  In fact I'm sure I was better off.  For literally the rest of the day I just couldn't seem to wake up.  I went home and at 9. I just crashed. and that was children's benedryl.  I think I've only felt like that after doing lots of shots at a dive bar.  I might need this for my next party. Anyway I woke up today, with two slightly swollen stiff knees so no workout.  I had done 2 days in a row, so I"m ok with the day off.  Tomorrow instead of whatever my hybrid schedule her I'll do 21 day fix upper fix and piyo upper bod
