Post on 3fc
Well I went to visit my family this weekend and much better than I had been doing. Went to the movie saturday had a soda, no popcorn, hot dog or nachos. Soda was all I wanted.
Next day went to my grandmothers and I was hungry, wanted jamaican food, but couldn't get it. We ended up getting soul food and I gave away most of my chicken (had 3 pieces only at 1) and threw away most of my yams.
Had some soup my mother made and didn't eat any of the meatloaf. I love meatloaf but wasn't in the mood for it.
So one of my biggest hurdles is past me (phew).
Back home and still on track.
NSV this weekend also
we went to the movies to see Stomp the yard and the escalator was broken. I was with my 3 cousins and sister and they of course we a little winded but ok. I managed to keep up with them and just when I thought I couldn't do it anymore it was over.
I have been doing squats which I was afraid to do because of knees pain. ALL knee pain is gone. Before it had stopped only during walking, but anything with a deep bend (getting up from a low chair, or getting out of the car) was hell on my knees. I have tested it a few times and seems like it is Finally ok.
Like I have said even though my primary goal is to lose weight all the other benefits make it worth it and if I only lose a pound a month I will continue because I love feeling the way I do.
Went food shopping today and went over what I meant to spend, but it all translates into less money eating out so much more worth it.
Since I am a computer geek I got very detailed with everything I am tracking.
Daily, Weekly, and MOnthly Miles, Minutes spent lifting weights, Minutes spent doing on WATP workouts, lbs lost and money saved eating in.
I don't keep track of how many calories because of IE and I don't wanna be paranoid about everything. I do look at the ingredients of what I buy (trying to avoid the HFCS) as well as calories content. No more muffin surprises.
