Living Intuitively.

So I haven't really posted in a while, I find I stop when I'm  not doing so well and keep going when I'm doing great.  Well I'm in a good place.  For the first time I've managed to lose weight during the summer.  I haven't pushed myself to work out, but I have been watching what I've been eating.  I am using intuitive eating /exercise.  I haven't worked out in a while because its been too hot, but with eating better I've managed to lose.  Finally my body was like we miss working out and I had to workup ALOT of stairs since an escalator on the way to work was broken.  So, today I did 15 min of cardio with weights.  I was sweating like a slave in the fields.  I'm a lil grumpy that in about a month I lost so much ...endurance..but its a process and I'll be back at it.

I'm currently PMSing which means my period is coming.  The cravings are over (blah at falling off for donuts), but i have about 7 days where I really won't be losing any weight. GRRRRR.  i'll be focused because its the end of the 28 day diet and I really wanna make sure I'm in the 320s when its all over.  I was 332 after a work out.  I only did 15 min so I don't think its that far off.


I also joined a 21 day challenge which is helping me focus on eating breakfast.  I'm finding I really need to eat breakfast to set the ton for the rest of my day.  If I don't eat it, I overeat and it never really gets right by the end of the day.  I'm still wishy washy on dinner, but we'll see. 

starting 7/28/201
-no potatoes, rice, or pasta - 3 pauses allowed.
-eat breakfast at home - 3 pauses
-no wholefoods buffet - 3 pauses
-no sweets - 3 pause days.


I'm going to check out the 90 days of exercise on on the 3fc 20 something group.  I am looking for a challenge that doesn't count minutes.  I think my exercise is the same as eating.  I don't wanna get caught up in numbers and then feel like I failed if I come in under my minutes for the month.  I get more caught up in the numbers than the actual exercise.

Well off to marinade some chicken and eat breakfast yay me :D

--added later

So just checking in.  Kinda working out what works or me with my schedule.  I work 12pm-8pm 3 days a week and 9-5 two day a week.  I'm up about 6am or 7am everyday so my meals are weird day to day.  learning I need to have breakfast or I feel like I'm always catching up because of hunger.  I bought an atkins shake for when I get to work at 12.  It means I don't have an extra meal .  It did a nice job of satisfying me.  I'm not much of a snacker so we'll see how this works.

The other side is when I eat at 4 and I don't get home till 10, so we'll see if the shack does the same thing later.

Breakfast was 2 boiled eggs with cheese and 2 sausages and water.  Did really well on filling me up and keeping me satisfied so I wasn't ravenous when I get to work at noon.  I had the shake, more to taste.  I was probably a 3 or 4 in terms of hunger.I'll take a lunch at 3:30 and I think I'll be ok till then

Well this week end been a little wacky. I didn't eat anything I planned to eat. I didn't over eat and I think I made good choices all week. I only exercised once this week which I'm not entirely happy with, but I'm ok with that too. Back at it tomorrow (Saturday). So anyway. I know I haven't had the big 3-4 weight loss I had been having so I jumped on the scale. I'm down a pound( to 333) . Its nice because I haven't gained, but I would like to be firmly in the 320s by the end of the month. I have managed to stick to my lent goals with the exception of the 2 beef meals I've had. I will admit Applebees has been calling and it was rough avoiding the scallops with bacon but I'm ok. Funny who I can ignore the Ben and Jerry's and not the scallops. I wonder if it will get easier. Happy that I am not forming any new attachments with food. I do have a craving for hooter, but I think their salads (if you can call it that, more like salad dressi...

Darn you to Heck Indian Food.

So yesterday I had lunch with my best friend.  She's smaller than me, but still heavy.  We went out to an Indian Buffet and I should have just ordered something from the menu, but I didn't want to spend to much since we were splitting the bill and had the buffet BAD MOVE.  It was all creamy sauce stuff which really begs to be poured over rice.  I was trying to pour it over the cauliflower dish, but that had potatoes in it.  I ended up just saying eff it and eating the cauliflower with a little potatoe.  Then my flawles logic *heavy sarcasm* said well if I'mma cheat go ahead and have the rice too.  I then had like 4 glasses of water.  I don't feel like I ate alot, the problem is I ate because of self peer pressure. I think of course wanted to punish myself and was going to make myself to a really hard workout today, but thought.  Ok I don't really want to do it...and I don't want to NOT workout because I don't want to do the work out.  ...

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...
