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't to be ashamed, but to force myself to be accountable for what I eat. If I don't leave some kind of record of it I will sweep it under my virtual carpet and pretend it didn't happen.

Well the rest of the day was fine, had some grapes, made some fish ( I can't seem to get the hang of cooking thin slices of fish. I think I am not cooking it long enough). I had broccli and a sweet potatoe.

Kind of off topic, but I am so glad 9/11 is here. We have been in memorial mode for about a month and I am really ready to be over. I was lucky enough not to lose anyone and I was living in Philadelphia at the time. I lost my mother a few years ago and it is like reliving that all over again..over and over for a month. So I am really ready for it to be over. I have pretty much avoided the news shows today so we'll how it goes.

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...

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...

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...
