The Intuituve Eater

WOW can't believe I have posted anything since Jan.... Well here is a quick recap. I'm not engaged and I've tried on and off half heartedly to get back on the wagon, but nothing has really stuck.... I think I'm probably 360 right now, but we'll see. I 'am going to get on the evil scale on the 1st. Anyway what got me motivated is my ankles swell if I sit too long...and I say a picture of someone much bigger than me and realized if I didn't do something it was just going to get worse. At first they would swell and then go down once I put them up like when I got in bed. Now they just stay swollen. Also I'm going to an event in a week or two and I don't want swollen ankles. So back I am So here are the rules. No eating out Mon-Fri No Soda No french fries No popeyes no white castle no burger king Count my calories. So lets start with that and see where I go I started working out and the goal is 500 min between now and Aug 1. 6/27/2010 - 20 min walk fi...

So I've been dreading getting on the scale all week and rightly so I gained a pound. Im not sure if its because of my period or what. I was thinking before that no matter what I'm not giving up. I have more energy, my house is cleaner as a result and I feel better. So maybe I'll just be this weight forever...who knows. I would like to say no eating out next month, but I have alot going on, so maybe we eat out responsibly. We'll see. Next weignin is on the 15th I think. Not working out today. Blah.

So I made a monthly resolution with a girlfriend to do 100 min of excercise a week. I've stuck to it and I left my debit card at home so I actually ate what I was supposed to when I was at work. Things seem to be ok I'm at my highest in a weight in a while, but I'm not beating myself up. So I was 348, as of 1/22/2010 before that I was 351 So I am doing ok and I feel like I am back on track. normally I would say ok I did 100 min I need to move it up to 120 or something else or whatever. Nope, we're going to sit a 100 min and see how I feel. Some other things have happened. My love life has settled down and my warcraft playing has cut down . So seems like I need to be in a good place to lose weight. So Monday Cardio inferno 25 min mens fitness 20 min Wednesday Cardio Over drive 41 min mens fitness 20 min Total 106 min I could stop now, but I really want to work out fri and sat. and I'll weigh in Sat and the goal is to just be lower than the previous week. So li...

So I've been trying to complete 100 min of exercise for a while and falling short. So today I did my work out and was at 89 min (woo hoo) so I did short cuts for weight loss ans that was another 15 min and I met my goal (yeah) which motivated me not to eat crap...Let see how it goes.

20 min wii (200 cal burned)

Funny I never stop thinking about losing weight I just stop acting on the thought. So I think I'm in the 340s, again blah.... So I am trying to do something easy to get started. 100 min of excercise. if it takes all month thats fine, but thats the goal and I'll add on 10 min when I set the next goal. 25 min today 2mi WATP.

35 min cardio over drive..

43 min on the wii. not doing the 30 day challenge, just picked a custom workout. More tomorrow.

So I am on a fitness challenage that I started and have failed to do pretty much. So I finally got off my bum and did a work out. drop it in 30 (23 min , I didn't do the cool down) get chiseled 15 min So 38 min ain't bad. I 'm supposed to do 150 min in five days and i have 4 days to do it in...so we'll see how well that works, lol. I kinda decided to do what I like and the heck with working supper hard and then being grumpy and discouraged. I do have to say it felt like much longer. Good news I went one full day eating exactly what i was supposed too....which I was nice. I went to the dr on monday and had a nasty surprise on the scale, so this has helped be more conscious. Also my blood pressure was 130/90 which is high for me. Yet another reason to do better.

LOL, so I was looking at wedding dresses and I have been feeling sluggish and I want to be able to shop in a store and buy what I want. I probably won't buy anything till decemeber, but I I didn't do much, but every little bit counts 20 min big shots at weight loss. Tomorrow is wii Thurs is weigh in. 1800 calories

25 min watp with 8lb weights 15 min belly but and thighs

Wasn't motivated but did it anyway, lol...helped that I have more variety with the wii so I did 30 min core my personal trainer (MPT) - 201 cal burned 18 min Sports active (SA) Day one of 30 days (med) - 200 cal burned. Feeling good...

so I'm back to working out. I ate my way through house and home since probably may, but thats the past can't change it...usually when I come back i have all these goals and beat myself self up. RIght now my only goal is to be consistent till 8/1/2009 and then see where I am WATP 2 mi=25 min Belly butt and thighs =15 min

Cardio overdrive 20 total body toner 20 wii ea sport day 2 - 224 calories/21 min So the wii is keeping motivatied....bascailly the excercise are short enough that I by the time I'm tired or annoyed its over. i think the only thing I won't be doing is the inline skating...I also kinda wish there was a setting for bad knees...or in the profile you could request low impact...but I just modify as I go..the inline skating was just a waste...I might see if I can modify it again....Oh yeah and the running never seem to synch with me...maybe because of the size of the thigh..which are pretty big...so I run at my pace...which brings up another point...I would be nice if I could turn off the trainer and just watch the picture or have the words on the screen....I know I am running slow, but the fact I am running at all should be ok lol... Anyway, even with all of my bellaching...it was TOTALLY word the money.

so I bought ea sports active..used it for one day and got ill from bad fish so this is day 2....LOL. I had to reset my goals....so 500 calories in 7 days and 7 hours of excersize and something else I can't remember...i wish there was a way to have the wii upload my info so I can track it online... 29 min of excercise and 300 calories burned. hoping to get in more tomorrow.

So this will be quick...I was sick so I lost 7 lbs...and coming off that I stuck to good eating and have continued to lose...so life it good drop it it in 30 and weight portion of total body toner.

I keep bouncing around in the 330...I think the lowest I got was 332. SO...I bought a wii and ea active which is a "game" to help you work out and make it interesting. I did it yesterday and liked it. So that should up my excercise time. I looked at how much I'm doing and need to up it. So we'll see... The game has a 30 day challenge so as of right now I am 339..it only goes up to 300 so blah...um...I'm at 339 because all the eating and liquor I've had over the last 5 or so days...so some of that should come off fairly quickly. My family came to visit, I had a friend over and I went to my cousin graduation party...blah...so yeah no eating out for a week except for my usual friday. Added later.... So I did about 30 min of my dvds and wasn't really feeling ot so I jumped on the wii and did another 26 min....and burned 25o calories...so I'll keep track of that.... So that puts be back in the one hour range. I'm not sure of I'll do anymore toda...

So I have been watching what I eat and not working out. The eating part is kinda easy now...The working out I realized after 3 years with the same DVDS I wasn't quite as motivated so I tried one I originally didn't like total body toner and did one of my favorites cardio infernoe and look it there...I enjoyed it...so I think we're back and I am going to pics up a few more....woo hoo.

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.
