My own Private Biggest Loser

So yesterday I experimented with eating and I'm reminded there is no one size fits all for weight loss.  Yes at the end of the day it calories in vs calories out, but my body does different things from others and something from what I think it will do.

Anyway, so I had gained 1.6 lbs in a day after staying on plan.  I ate late in the night, so Thursday I did pretty much the same thing except I didn't eat after 4pm. I usually weight myself as soon as I get up a 4am so that is a solid 12 hours for my body to deal with everything.

I had my usual breakfast, tunafish for lunch.  I had a hunger headache again, which I thin is related to my homemade ice coffee. Its made up of 3 cups of coffee.  I think its supressing my appetite and then when it finally wears off all the hunger comes shooting back.  I am going to try and go back to the star bucks stuff I can buy at the super market.

I didn't eat lunch till 1 or 2 and then I was ravenous.  The tuna fish took the edge off, but by 4 I was still hungry.  I had 3 italian turkey sausage and after two I was satisfied, but I at the last one since I wasn't going to eat the rest of the day.

I thought about food when I got home, but wasn't actually hungry.  I might have had a minor rumble when I was dozing off, but nothing to get up out of bed for.

After 3 trips to the bathroom (1 trip was a lil more solid than the rest) I was 361.8.  Which is below my dietbet goal. I lost 2 lbs yesterday, even better I did this without working out.

So things I've learned.  I need to give my body time to process food.

I need asnack after lunch.  Even without the coffee I find myself getting hungry around 4 or 5.

I need to get out of the habit of eating when I'm supposed to and eating when I'm hungry which isn't always the same thing

I don't have to workout to lose weight, but it helps.

Since I'm  a little less than 3 lbs from my first mini goal i'm cheating today.  I have 6 days to finish dietbet and I'm going to be in the house all weekend because we're having a blizzard.  I had a donut...it was awesome.  I only had one. At point eating 3 in one sitting was normal. i had the one and was ok.  I'm going to have sushi for lunch, and then for 5 days I focus on staying under goal.

I'm 90% sure I'll be doing dietbet again next month.  This wasn't horrible and 21 day challenge will be no eating out since that is the thing that derailed me most this last 30 days.

I'm nervous, but excited to potential be in the 340s for the first time in a long while.

I'm not 355, but I think losing over 15 lbs, I'm going to do something for myself.  I can either get hammer & chisel, or join daily burn. I'm pretty sure it will be daily burn.  I want to try Bob Harper's program.  In a good place and still learning.

Also I need to do more stretching, I can feel the difference when I don't, so I'll Be adding piyo or something to my exercise schedule.

Oh yeah and since I didn't eat or drink much after 4.  Just a couple sips of water, last night was the first time in a while I wasn't up in the middle of the night to pee.  YAY !!!

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...
