The Intuituve Eater

Good websites and Books. This is sort of an experiment on using the blog, but I also have some links I wanted to post. Intuitive Eating A good book about intuitive eating and all the little things that go with it (i.e. excercise, body images, emotional eating) 3fatchicks.com Wonferful website where I go an bond with other people who are also working on loosing weight and supporting one another. I think this is what got me motivated. You can follow whatever diet plan you want and there are a variety of forums.

A new level of workout -9/11 When I first starting excercising regularly it was just enough to get through the work out. Well I bought Walk away the Pounds DVD (walk strong) and didn't like it. I completed the workout, but missed the sweat. I am didn't like all the lunges and squats since I have bad knees from the weight. The other thing that has happened is I REALLY want to try the 3 mile workout. This is a little different from what I was before. When I did the 1 mile I would barely be able to finish and didn't even bother with the cool down. So things are getting better. One of my big dreams is to be able to get into regular boots for the winter. My calves are too big so I haven't been able to wear anything I liked. Blah One thing did happen this weekend I over ate. I knew from saturday i wanted corn beef hash, but I usually have a full breakfast so I had 3 eggs, a whole can of hash and 4 bisuits....That sucks so hard typing that....The reason I type it isn...

Well I had a taste for Corn Beef Hash, there is nothing good nurtionally I can say about it, but I wanted it. And of course since I was having corn beef hash, I had 3 eggs and 4 busicuits...Typing it even sucks. About half way thorugh it I thought all I wanted was corn beef hash, but I thought I might as well finish it...BLAH So I ate till I couldn't eat anymore....Only good thing, no more corn beef hash for a good long while. Hope everyone else is doing better.

Well I seem to be doing much better. I told my parents what I was doing and I think they're just happy I am doing something. Hopefully I can stick to this. I feel like if I don't I'll be disappointing them. Funny thing. Both of my parents have been "dieting" on and off for a year. Last week the doctor told me father he needed to lose 40 lbs. So my father is low carbing. My mother had back surgery and was told she needed to lose weight and is counting calories. So my father was making this salad yesterday and my mother was sitting there making a face like who can you eat that because it looked pretty high fat and high calorie, but it was low carb. My mother was sucking down low fat popcorn and he was giving her the same look. I was sitting there asking them are you hungry...well than don't eat it. Just found it funny 3 different "diets" at the same table and how different they worked. I was there for about 2-3 hours and my mother just kept reaching fo...

I decided to create this blog to keep track of my eating and kinda watch my progress since I think this time is a little different. Normally when Get back on the wagon I am extreme (less than 25 carbs a day) excercise 7 days a week, weights...You get the idea, but this time I said fuck it and would do it the way I felt I could do it. I would try and eat like I had some sense, excercise 3-4 days a week. I am on 3fatchicks.com and had previously been on a 21 day challenge that I could never seem to get past day 5. So I joined a thread for a 7 day challenge, but instead of consecutive days it was just pick how many days out of 7 you can do something and do it. So I did the excercise 3 days a week and I did it...LOL. The next week I added one serving of vegetables or fruit a day. During my second 7 day challenge I discovered a thread called intuitive eater. The basic premise is eat when your hungry and eat till your satisfied. You can have whatever you want, but don't eat based...
