A day of non scale victories

So yesterday I didn't workout at all.  I was ok with it.  I also decided since i cook just about all my regular meals I am ok buying breakfast tue and thur on my early days at work.  Work was unremarkable(you can see I building to something here.) I went out with my girlfriend and we ended up at dinner.  I ordered the sauteed chicken, with vegetables and there was a boiled potatoe.  I had half a margarita and NO CHIPS, not one.  I picked up one during dinner to help push some food onto my fork, but I put it down thinking why have even the one.  I used my finger.  Usually I would have demolished the bowl of chips in its entirety.


Usually with this same girlfriend she eat a little bit of something and then offers me whats left and I graze off her plate(blah @human garbage can).  I didn't touch any of her stuff.  I was mildly curious, and it helped that she had ordered paella and I can't eat shrimp, but i resisted trying it out to see if I could eat some of it.

my ex was late coming in last night and didn't bother to call or pick up the phone. I HATE lateness.  When he finally got in at 2am I couldn't sleep and got up after tossing and turning for an hour.  I kept thinking I feel like i'm hungry.  So I got up and read 3fc for about an hour.  I just kept refreshing the list of new posts and read.  At the end of the hour I decided while my stomach was empty  I wasn't actually hungry.  When to bed at 4am.  I didn't workout and I had some cheese and 2 sausages with my egg white omlette, and it is comfort food.  but it comfort food for a meal I am hungry for and it isn't the ice cream and sweets or hi cal stuff I would normally have eaten.

I'm going to walk to and from the bus today so that should give me a bit of excercise.  I might do it during lunch..we'll see.

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...

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...

Well I got back on track with the walking. 7 miles in 2 days is alot compared to where i started from and would be nice to knock out 10 miles by sunday (the end of my work out week). Well on 3fc I have noticed how bad High Frucose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is. So I had some lamb to cook and wanted some flavor. So instead of the marinade (which has HFCS) I bought I put some olive oil, rosemary and thyme in a pan and heated that then added the lamb. A little salt and pepper on both sides. It was probably the best lamb I have ever cooked. I think I am going to give the un-used stuff to my family and finish up the rest. Or we'll see. Something else that happened yesterday. I take the bus from NY to NJ to go home and there is a long escalator to get to the bus top. Easily 20-30 feet.....and the escalator wasn't working. I walked up without stoping. I didn't feel like I was going to die and at the top I didn't stop I kept moving to get to where I had to go. So I realized...
