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.

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...

Reading through my Blog/ Learning more about me

So I was looking for distraction from the vending machine monster and I found a 100 calorie snack ( i need to start carrying those again) and realized I was 312 lbs back in April. :-(, but I think the good thing is I am back at 312 and will soon be lower. I also learned spring and summer are bad times for me and I need to learn to modify my exercise plan during the summer. I think I felt like if I didn't feel like working out I couldn't do anything. I should have done maybe 30 min or something...We'll see I also noticed I am slightly scale obsessed, but like I posted before the scale has been who I judge myself and right now I WANT to be under 300lbs. So between the 100 cal snack and reading 3fc and the blog I am ok. Now home to a bowl full of mixed vegetables ( lol and I am actually looking forward to it)

Repeating Mistakes/ To fibit not to fitbit

LOL once I start blogging I can't stop. So I'm in the exercise groove...I've been here before..the weight is coming off.  I'm eating right, feeling good..and then...I do too much, get frustrated and binge and then quit...sigh So I started posting on 3 fat chicks again.  I felt like I need an outlet for things I was feeling without judgement and I like reading about other people struggles so I don't feel alone.  I am avoiding any challenges and any group posts.  The posts where everyone already knows everyone so you post but no one responds because they don't really know you...blah... The reality is I don't do well on challenges and it stops becoming about weight loss and feeling good and more about "winning" nothing..because there is no actual prize.  If I win yeah..but often I "lose" and feel bad and then begins a downward spiral into feeling like a failure.  Weirdly this is also the reason I never got into counting carbs or cal...
