NSV: Not eating out of emotion/I need a snack/

Down 2.5 lbs. I didn't do anything more than I have been, but it's less stressful and maybe I'm less prone to feel like I want a cheat meal or I want something off my plan. No workout today. I ended up baking some chicken  before it went bad.  I think I'll freeze it for next week.






So I had a bit of a falling out with the guy I'm half in love with.  We're not a couple and never will be, but we are something...blah.  Anyway, I was all emotional since I thought he wasn't speaking to me and I started thinking about going out to eat and having my version of comfort food (sushi).  I didn't mostly because work was hectic and by the time I got out I just wanted to go home.  I will say there was a relazation that I'm only wanting to go out to eat to comfort myself with food.

I watched a season of the biggest loser while I was doing dietbet and one of the things they focus on was, how did you get this big?  What habits do you have that stop you from eating normally.  So I realized from that I eat when I'm bored, when Im happy and when I'm sad.  Food is my friend...not a good friend, the kind your mother tells you is a bad influence and gives the evil eye to when you bring them over to hangout.

Anyway, by the time I got home last night I was hungry and didn't really having prepared to eat.  I did meal prep Sunday, but that was just work lunches.  Anyway I ended up with 10 nuggets from Wendy's and a bottle of water.  Its pretty much my go to when I need something quick and sort of low carb.  I've noticed that the grease is getting to me, so this isn't something I'll binge on, or buy regularly.

It would have been nice to have some kinda of quick low carb non salad snack.  I picked up some protein bars, but they aren't exactly low carb. I usually have toast in the morning, but after that I'm pretty much zero or very little carbs.  I don't count, but I don't eat  any one thing I eat has 22g of carbs in it.

The I happened across a blog review and read the comments.  Its funny comments under an article are sometimes way more helpful than the actual article.  After reading these I realized the protein shake I had tried had me bloated and I couldn't figure out why.  I thought it was me, but this might be my issue.  So I"m going to hold onto the bars, but look for something with better ingredients.




I've learned the hard way that while calories matter, my sugar intake is what really controls if I'm going to lose weight or not.  Annoyed that I spent $5.00 on these stupid things ARGH !!!

The good thing is I now have some rules to judge my snack by, no liquid sugars if possible.

Updates: I'm going to try the bars.  Today is a good day since I didnn't workout and my eating should be the same.  If I bloat or have some huge gain.  I know its the bars.  I also think I'll only eat half.

Wish me luck.

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...

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...

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...
