I no longer have hard feeling toward the subway guy

Posted on 3fc

Ok, sorry about the long title.

So I was home alone all weekend, first weekend in a while I haven't had to rush somewhere so I did alot of catch up my Tivo


Anyway, I used to get really uncomfortable and annoyed whenever I saw a commercial about weight loss like the ballys, the subway commercials, the magic weight loss pills, weight watchers. Anything that reminded me I needed to do something about my health and weight.

Anyway this weekend I watched most with a nice please detachment. I thought I've done my excercise for the week and I know my eating has been good.

I also watch the magic pill commercials (like the one anna nicole was pushing, this one pill will target and the weight will fall off) or the magic exercise equipment commercial (this equipment will target and you will lose weight while only using it 5 min a day or some non sense) I only just noticed that they add with regular diet an excercise in tiny letter (i got a bigger TV for xmas so I can see them now).

I actually chuckled a few times. For 5 payments of 19.95 plus shipping and handling I can waste my good time and money and space in my house where it collects dust. Or I can take it and buy some vegetables and fruit a good workout DVD and have change left over for the smaller jeans I'll eventually get into.

Ok, I think it is dangerous for me to be home alone. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

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...
