The Intuituve Eater

Funny usually I don't post when I am doing badly, but I have been doing pretty ok. The bet with my girlfriend has been working. I am pretty conscience about what I eat and having been doing much better. I have 10 days, so I should be ok, no makor holidays or anything. This week I am eating out alot, but the key to that seems to be swapping out side dishes for salad or veggies even if it costs more and not getts really saucy stuff. I have had popyes and stuff, but rather than mash potatoes and red beans ans rice and a buscuit and 5 chicken stripes and a drink. I get 2-3 little wraps and a possible drink. I know it is n't good, but it breaks up the monotony of salad and I practice about portion control. Anyway, I seem to be doing ok.

And honestly it wasn't a big deal to get out of bed.....either way, Weigh in is tomorrow...hoping I am under 338...and that I didn't accidentally gain 10 lbs ...blah. Cardio inferno - minus last weight segment.- 21 min Jari love combo vid - squats/lunges, straight leg deadlift with lat row, step up with over head press.(????) 15 min 36 min total. I think I did more than that, but just happy I did something, LOL.

Cardio parts of maximum cardio and half workout - 24 abs advance 8 min jari love, squat/lunges,bent leg deadlift, stiff leg deadlift, overhead press = 20 min 52 min So I am going along. Eating has been on point. I realize looking back the problem wasn't my cooking, but what I was eating. The chipotle stuff was all carbs...no veggies, no fruit. the cheesecake brownie every couple day. yeah I wasn't going to lose anything with that. I think everyone has diet that works for them, for me it is going to lean towards low carb and that definitely wasn't the way I was eating. Anyway, Doing ok.....the bet is keeping me motivated.

Cardio Overdrive 30 min and back to 338. Which I have been back and forth to about 3 times, so we'll see how it goes this week.

Ok, so I have been working out, but not keeping track not sure why, but my eating has been horrible...complete comfort eating. So a friend of mine $50 I would be 329 by May 1. So'll get on the scale April one and work my ass of. I think I've become desensitized to my motivation, or discouraged. will all the ups and downs the scale isn't the motivation it once was. So we'll see how this works so warm up and strength big cut to weight loss jari love, squat/lunge,bent leg deadlift and bicep curl, strangleg deadlife, overhead press. I'll calculate the min later.

So I worked out, probably not the super workout I planned, but it is what it is. So I used the restoom and ended up at 335. So gained weight....3-4 lbs but not the 8-9 I thought it was.....so STOP USING THE SCALE AT NIGHT. Also I realized while I probably didn't think I ate badly I didn't eat anything at home...i think all my meals were eaten out, subway, baja, popeeyes, applebess..yeah I can see it now...So ONE Meal on friday and thats it. I did bootcamp firm...i didn't do the third weight section. oh yeah and I hate kickboxing...

So I gained, but not as much as I thought...so I'm ok today...

So I was feeling good, I've been working out. I wore a skirt I haven't been able to fit in a while so I said hey lets see what the scale says....339, I cried...I just wanted to give up..I still just want to say the hell with it... I could guess at what happened, and it is only 7 lbs....I can lose that in a week. I am so...unhappy right now...the yo-yoing... No eating out till I hit 329. PERIOD. no applebess no popeyes...no idea what I am going to do when I go home to visit my parents.. Weigh in everySaturday now. I can't even express my level of disappointment right now. Its 11pm at night. So the only possible good thing is I KNOW it will be lower in the morning..... I was so FUCKING close...BLAH.....

I didn't work out wed or friday of last week so I did something this weekend and worked out today..soo Saturday Cardio inferno, didn't do second weight section - 15 min. Butt and thighs 15 min Sunday Chris shortcuts -26 min MOnday Chris cellulite - 41 min Jari love - 10 Eating was ok, most of the week then as usual friday and saturday I ate out. I don't think I over ate and I didn't so that b adly. Weighin is Saturday. Something interesting. I was going to do my min from Feb 23 to Mar 23 so the Feb min wouldn't be wasted and I guess in case I feel off the wagon again, but I calculated just from March 1 and I have 145 already...which isn't usual at all. I guess doing a little everyday works rather than tryin to kill myself 3 times a week.

So since I stayed on plan last week I didn't work out this weekend AND i had popeyes on friday....Eating wasn't great....little things like I went to baja fresh and instead of the 2 taco AND a salad burrito I just had 2 tacos. So no idea if I gained or not, but I'm feeling ok. Today Cardio inferno - didn't do the second weight sections -21 belly butt and thighs- did half the abs....and not other floor work 17 min

So I glanced at my old posts and realized I've been yo-yo ing for the last 2 years...So Would like to hopefully this is a one way ride out of the 300s....

So its friday and as usual this is the day I REALLLY don't want to work out...so I said ok I won't do the really hard work out I planned...I'll do a WATP and belly butt and thighs...The sweat was pouring off of me. LOL So watp 2 mile - 20 min belly butt and thigs, no belly, and no floor work - 15 min I am going to TRY to do something easy tomorrow morning...We'll see. not getting on the scale today...still basking in the 332. So lets talk about food...yesterday I forot to pack my lunch so I had 1 english muffin glass of milk salmon salad lots of salad dressing (blah) sushi so not great but not bad either.

So I wasn't supposed to get on the scale until suday, but I jumped on anyway...332...have to say I wanted to cry...Feels nice when all the eating right and excercising pays off. Before I got on the scale my motivation was being able to go to an amusement part and get on a roller coaster. while I was in orlando. So Happy. can't wait to see the 320s You don't have to excercise for 2 hours to lose weight. I did cardio infernio...all the cardio..only one weight section Jari love slim and lean squats and biceps. I will add back next week. I haven't been builind up to my 90 min I used to do and I think those days are gone. I feel like I challenged myself and I got in a good workout which I think it more important that excercising for hours. We'll see.

I was doing so well and then I didn't work out at all next week ..well except for Monday. I didn't cook so I ate out alot and that was a mess...So Saturday I got up and cooked for the weekend and i worked out this this morning. So I did Cardio inferno - minus the second weight segment. 15min Jari love slim and lean - squat, biceps. 10 min I'll add more as time goes on, just want to stay consistent

Normally when I don't post for a while its because I havent been working out or I have been doing badly... but actually I have worked out 4-5 days this month. The rule is basically i do waht I want to do...not forcing myself to do anything to hit my goal for min every month. I think I will go back to it, but I was getting to the point where if I wasn't going to work out for 80 min I wouldn't get up and counting the min was killing me.... So I have been working out, food has been good, I think my only weakness is weekend eating out, but I'll deal with that...so today I am going to cook and life is good oh yeah 338 as of 2-11-09 I would LIKE to get out of the 330 by the end of the month..we'll see

So I didn't work out friday or saturday so I felt like I need to do something today. I just found a preventin fitness shortcuts to weight loss. 15 min short cuts to weightloss It wasn't much but i was sweating by the end. I got my period today so wondering what my weight will be when it is done. But this means that for my PMS I made pretty good choices. woo hoo and actually lost weight. I am going to have a steak and salad today. I have been craving beef quite a bit. I cooked my lunch for the week last night. I made spinach pasta salad and martha stewart asian stuffed cabbage rolls. I didn't put enough salt in the rolls, but other than that everything is ok. I'm going to make jamabalysa for dinner and put it over veggies.

So this week I tried to make better choices...no trying to plan the whole day just better choices. I was hungry one night going home and knew I would have about 2 hours before i got home and by the time I go home ...normally I would have picked up a crossaiant (400 calories) and i really am not a fruit person and never will be, but that is coming later. So I figured out ok I don't want fruit which would have been the asy choice but I didn't really want and I don't wanna waste of calories...So I picked out a chicken pest salad for 200 calories. I think I am going to make that for one of my meals this week. I ate out twice this week, and it wasn't the greatest. One NSV that did happen was, whenever i go out with my girlfriend from work she never finishes her food and she offeres it for me, nad even if i've been doing good, I feel like I fall off the wagon, but then eating her food too. Well this time I was kinda lusting for what she had (chef salad) but I said...

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...

Haven't worked out in a week, but back it. Cooked this morning. I would like to go all of Feb with not eating out at all. I think my friends are going to be a lil disappointed. I cooked this morning and so we'll see how it goes. Total body toner 25 min drop it in 30 (the hard one) =23 min total 48 min. Oh yeah and I was saturday morning so there is my motivation.

I wanted to see how I felt if I plan my workouts. I know How I feel generall so the idea is to start with a hard workout and end up easier on Fridays which is the day I usually don't work out. Monday Old Cheerleader/jair love ripped to the core Wednesday Ab, Sun Ye, total body toner Friday walk and job/belly butt and thighs
