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

Staying on Track even when cheating.

Usually when I post there is a overall point or idea I'm trying to express.  This is just a catchup post.  Last week I only worked out once.  Part of that was due to working late and just not being able to get it together and part was Friday waking up and being heavier than I thought I should be.  In the end I realized I'm still in the mid 350s, and didn't sky rocket up tot he 360s.  I didn't binge and totally screw my progress so I'm happy. So I do want to list my cheats this weekend. I had a party weekend and I cheated, but it was pretty controlled.  Friday I had a parfait from my usual salad spot.  Thai chili wings from the restaurant at the hotel.  Saturday Fish Tacos and Thai chili wings (yes, I really liked them, lol). Sunday Cheesy potatos and half a waffle for breakfast.  I ate in addition to this stuff, but it was on plan. I was starting to get into the mindset that I need to workout harder and longer and whenever I start doing that it work agains

Doing ok

Only did the second cheerleader video can't find belly butt and thighs, so I might do that tonight. cardio overdrive 40 min, I thought it was really only 20 something. So I'm good for right now. Eating has been pretty good. I'll get on the scale saturday morning. Something I realized I'm never going to be as focused as when I first started this journey, which is probably ok since I couldn't maintain that forever...same food over and over again ...blah... Yesterday I had a busy day and wanted to go out and buy food even though I had brough lunch. I stayed in the office and ate my rice and carrots. Something else in NY they have the calories on everything, so the choclate crossiant that I had brainwashed myself into believe it was 200 Calories is more like 400+ with a class of milk that about 600 calories for breakfast. So i realized I could have an english muffin, milk and saugage (from home) and be just as fine....so even less eating out. I don't want to kno

Getting old

So yesterday was a pretty ok day, It all went down hill when I ate my salad for lunch.  In literally the last year I've become allergic to tree nuts,not peanuts.  I'm not a big nut person in general, but yesterday I had a salad with pesto checking in it.  I got itchy.  My co-worker realized the pesto probably had pine nuts in it. So they gave me some children's benedryl..I think I was better off being slightly itchy.  In fact I'm sure I was better off.  For literally the rest of the day I just couldn't seem to wake up.  I went home and at 9. I just crashed. and that was children's benedryl.  I think I've only felt like that after doing lots of shots at a dive bar.  I might need this for my next party. Anyway I woke up today, with two slightly swollen stiff knees so no workout.  I had done 2 days in a row, so I"m ok with the day off.  Tomorrow instead of whatever my hybrid schedule her I'll do 21 day fix upper fix and piyo upper bod
