And the experiment continues....

So even after my last post the eating fest continued.  I did a cheat weighin (weighing in after working out and I was 350.  So I think I gained, but i have 6 days to try and get back to where I was, also my period is due any day now.


Since I did alot yesterday I went kinda of easy today 30 min kendall hogan 30 min cardio.  I worked up a sweat, but it wasn't as motivating as it once was.  I think its because I've done it so much and know the routine.  I also did just about all the 12 min abs I've been avoiding and realized its too much for me.  I'm going to switch to the chris freytag ab workout.

So I feel like my diet is a big scientific experiment.  I know after I workout I am ravenous.  So I had a carb heavy breakfast and a serving of the cabbage I made.  I was fine till i got to work then I had a napa cabbage salad (Yes to Feta, no to blue chesse).  I had 2 string cheeses and then lunch.  With lunch I had 32oz of water so I'm pretty full actually.  Usually I have something sweet after, but I'm too full.  Dinner will be no carbs.

I was reading someone's blog who works to have a correct ratio of carbs, protein and fat (I think),.  I can't see me doing that but I am starting to watch how many carbs I have everyday.

Also I am going to stick to IE, but attempt to enter what i'm eating into spark people (After I eat).  Since it tracks what I'm eating I'm going to see if I can stay about 100 carbs a day.  I know totally random, but we'll see.

Oh yeah I think the English muffins are on they're way out, but only on workout days.  I'm going to try and do without bread on non-workout days and see how I feel. 

Also the spark people website helped me realize, well that and I always felt thirsty, that I wasn't getting enough water.

So I'll be logging everything or close to it this week.  It will be guess

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...

Random Thoughts

So Part of my IE is staying under 2000 calories. usually I do this without thinking about it..I think it is a hold over from my dieting days and it works, so I keep it around. So anyway. It occured to me, that there are people in countries who are so called "less advanced" than the US and they are thinner and healthier than us and they have no idea what a calorie is, how many carbs they are eating or any of other many measurements we have around. I was also thinking that there was a time in this country when people had no idea what a calories was and there didn't seem to be an obesity epidemic until we got all educated....
