What am I doing for me/Scale is a Dangerous thing

This was a post on 3FC in the intuitive eating thread, but it applies

Life is going ok. I joined a thread called what I did for me. Which has helped me focus on the little choices I make through out the day. For instance I have been in training all week so I've had to get up earlier than usual and I buy an ice coffee from Star Bucks and eat some fruit. No problem. Except I have been watching the food display case like a kid eyeing Christmas presents. I am not hungry, it is just I am in starbucks so that is what I used to do without thinking about. So for me I left the display case alone, stuck to my pears and coffee and was happier for it.

Also I think the scale did something to me. I keep having this intense desire to get on it to see if I lost anything else, but I also have no desire to go through the disappointment so leaving it alone. I keep thinking I am only 5 lbs away from my first mini goal......the scale is a dangerous dangerous thing.

Something else I couldn't stop being hungry yesterday. I think i was eating too little since i was going to the movie and then didn't eat enough there and ended up eating again when I got home.

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...

Up 3 lbs.

Well I just couldn't what to weigh myself and I am up 3 lbs. Normally I would be devastated, but Everything 3fc has taught says 1. I should probably weight myself in the morning. 2. It is not the end of the world. I also have to admit i overate yesterday, and I had a big meal Saturday . So the plans is to stick to what I am supposed to do and weigh again Saturday morning. The guy I am seeing will be up Saturday morning, and it is Super bowl weekend, so eating is not going to be the greatest this weekend. Everything else is ok. Added Later I just realized I got cocky. I assumed since I had had all this great weight loss I could eat whatever. I have not been eating intuitively. So I am glad I did the weighin and will try and do better.
