Pretty Big Milestone



For the first time ever I made my dietbet.com goal. I started at 377.6 and weighed in at 362.2.  I still have 8 days to go, so as long as I don't binge or go out to eat I should be fine.  I am hoping to finish at or below 359 which would be icing on the cake.The weekend will be kind of interesting, but I'm focused.  I wanted to cry.  It's been a while since I really was able to stick to my plan and reach a goal.

I have to say I learned alot.  I also did alot of things I have complained about or hate doing.

-Got on the scale almost everyday.  The scale is really just a tool now to tell me how I'm doing.  I used to hate it and secretly I wanted to see a big lose so I would weight a week, but getting on everyday or every other day helped me see how certain food or lack of exercise effected(sp?) me.  I knew rice, pasta and potatoes weren't great, but beans, any alcohol and eating out even on plan also are a problem.  Eating out is pretty much a no go as often as I am doing it. I'm not sure if if the processed food, or salt or whatever, but even if I stick to what I can eat it slows my weight loss.  During the week, as long as I brought lunch or had salad for lunch, I lost weight.

Also I have to exercise to lose weight.  Maybe its because I'm not counting calories (or carbs) but for me to lose siginificantly I need to workout. I am not sure if cardio or strength training is best, but either way I need to move to lose.

-Challeneges - I had stopped doing them, but I think that was more because I was failing them over and over again.  This month I did dietbet, an exercise challenege on 3fc and my 21 day challenge on 3fc.  dietbet kept me from focused and the other two helped guide me along the way.  

With all that being said,  Im on the fence about doing dietbet again. Its alot and one of my problems is constantly having to consider what I can and cannot eat. I know I'll have to do that forever, but I would like a week where I can kind of loosen up, but will I stay focused or will I fall of the wagon.

If I do another dietbet I'll probably have to lose another 15 lbs in one month, which is alot. It would put me in the 340s if I can do it, which would make me stupidly happy. SO having typed that I'll probably do another rough then take a break for March then come back in April. May I have vacation so we'll see where I am then.

1lb

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...

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...

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.  ...
