Its been long time...I shouldn't have left you...

Well I haven't posted in a while, just been busy at work, my so called relationship is having issues and just tired. This week was my first week "on program" which mean eating right and excercising and I got my period. So I think for the first time I had PMS cravings that everyone else talks about and I never noticed. I think I never noticed because whatever the craving was I would satisfy it and that would be it. Really it wasn't that bad looking back, but it was annoying being in the middle of it.

I have been checking most of the foods I don't cook against calorie king, just to get an idea of where I am. I also check what calories I need to lose. Kinda shocked me to realize I was eating 3000+ calories a day. Right now I am doing 2000 or less, and not missing anything really. If I can stay about that. I should lose a poind a week. Thats the goal anyway. I really want the dimples in my thighs to go away. Would be really nice to be comfortable enough to wear shorts again.

I finally got away to my prevention fitness walk DVDs (walk fit, walk slim respectively). They are not walking DVDs. Thank goodness I did WATP first or I would have been pretty beat up. They are more beginnger aerobics with brisk walking. I guess in higher levels they jog instead. Anyway all that WATP came in handy. When I couldn't do something I walked to the beat of the music.

I have been doing the walk strong DVDs on mon, wed, and saturday and that has given me a good leg work out (beginner) so my knees have gotten much better. Who would have thought squats would help bad knees. I really need to get better sneakers the pronation on my left foot is a real problem.

I also ordered Yoga Booty Ballet. I wanted another toning video. This will be my last one for a while. I think I have a good mix at this point I won't get bored. Also I feel like until I can truly call myself an intermediate I want to learn and this got pretty good reviews on 3fc.

Ok.....that was a long post.



Below is a post from 3fc
Ok, I am not sure whats going on I think my body is adjusting to TOM and healthy eating. I have had more cravings in the last 2 days than the last 2 months.

So I am making a stand, no more little choclate candies.

My girlfriend bought some and put them in the candy dish. Normally I eat one every 2 weeks and forget about them any other time. I have eaten 8 of them today and refuse to eat anymore. I'm not hungry, and maybe my body needs sugar,but I think I want to be able to choose. I also know if someone was in the room with me I wo uldn't be eating so there is an element of sneaking here.

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...
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...
