Well my modified version of the 28 day diet seems to have helped me break through into the 330s.  i'm 335 this morning.  My modification is basically atkins induction and I allow some sweets every now and again.

I am trying to stick to working out 3 days a week, but it hasn't been happened.  I usually fall off one day a week.  The upside is my workouts are harder so am going more when I do work out.

My 28 days ends Aug 6th, so my very hesitant goal is to get into the 320s by then...take a break for a week and the back for another 28 days.  My summer goal was 330.  I'm going to change that to 320 by the monday after memorial day.

Something else while I am low carbing it.  I am using Ie for the stuff I technically cant eat on the phase and it has been working.  I'm not down as much as everyone else (they're average is about 10 lbs in a week, i'm at 5), but I'm happier and it seems like something I can maintain.

I also went back to the IE group on 3fatchicks, between my friends, my weightloss group on FB and the IE group on 3 fatchicks I have a great support net.

Life is good right now.

p.s. some nsv

knees don't hurt almost at all
more energy
heels are easier to walk in
and I have ankles again. My ankles were pretty much constantly swollen and only have sleeping at night did they go down...only to go right back up again during the course of the day


In a good place.

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...
