Enjoying the little victories

So things are moving right along. I get on the scale friday. I don't feel any lighter, but my body seems alot happier. Some of the issues was huffing and puffing up a small hill I have to work to work in the subway station, my ankles and feet swelling, back hurting, no energy. All of that has changed. Ankles have gone down, feet are good. Its even easier to put on sandals because they aren't so swollen. I can see the difference walking up steps. I mean I running, but I am not sitting wondering if my heart is ok or not.

Me eating for the most part has been pretty ok. My eating plan is eat like I have some damn sense.

So breakfast at home, which mean I'm not eating the really high calorie and expensive breakfasts I was. Right now there isn't anything I want to bring for lunch and I'm tired of frozen meals. So I have given myself 10 bucks a day to eat lunch, and preferably no fast food. So I think alot more about what I'm eating. I think I'll end up at the wholefoods buffet which had been the bane of my existence. I would always spend $20+. Can you say over eating...Anyway. With only $10 to spend I make better choices and it gives me to have a little more variety. I think one of my downfalls before was I stuck to eating the same things over and over again and got bored and then didn't know what to eat.

So when I get to work I guess I have it ingrained in my head that I'm supposed to eat, so I buy fruit and south beach bars to work that out. After 2 plums and a bar I'm usually satisfied enough till lunch.

There have been some bumps to the wagon. I went to the movies last night. I had a hagendaz ice cream bar and a hot dog. Also when I went to whole foods and hit $15. but since thats 10-15 less than usual AND I had chicken, and HEAL of broccolini and some macaroni.

Exercise is ok, I'm not pushing myself to goal here is to make sure I stick to a regular schedule DO something.

35 min excercise, WATP and weghts

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...

Still doing my thing

So I haven't posted in a bit, but I've stayed the course.  I hit my exercise goal kind of early so I kinda of slacked off. I'm back at it this week primarily because of my work out buddy at work.  She mentioned we were supposed to work out and that got me back into the swing of things.  I was thinking I should tell her I don't want to work out anymore, but seems to be a good way to make me accountable.  I've been tracking my calories half heartedly, well mostly carbs and sodium and how much water I am drinking.  My ankles swelled up which surprised me, but I think it was due to my TOM.  I also didn't get on the scale because emotionally I just couldn't deal with seeing the scale go up.  Today was interesting I left my lunch at home and thought oh I can order something now, but I ended up running to a supermarket and picking up a smart one. Which leads me to an article on who the obesity epidemic is caused by ultra processed foods, which I totally b...
