My trip home, finally a NSV

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.

Quick Recap

Well I am ashamed it has been this long since I posted. I got down to 306 after much not eating and too much exercising, but after the trip to Jamaica I haven't gotten back in the groove of things. I think alot of that has to do with issues with the Ex. Those may not be settled, but i am not as emotionally invested as I won't was. With IE I was able to stay at 320 or under. I am 312 now, and focused once again. I am not nearly as strict as I was, which might also explain why I haven't gotten under 300. Anyway....Thats where I am at now. Will try and write more later.

Finding Joy in the Little Changes

So it's taken me 2 months to lose 4 lbs.  I know people are are gonna ready that and be like dude you suck. There are a couple of things to note: When  I started 2 months ago I was 359 and then the week after I went up to 363. I checked my spreadsheet and I haven't been 355 or lower in 4 years.  I've been struggling in the 360s for YEARS !!!!!! I've been in the 350s for a couple of weeks with a mostly steady decline I'm not struggling with eating, and working out is doable. In terms of non scale victories.  I can eat salad. It isn't the end of the world and honestly when I'm out and about it takes the weight of having to figure out what to eat. I don't feel the need to eat EVERYTHING on my plate. I don't eat what I don't want.  ( We will ignore the cream puff I had yesterday) I have more energy.  I don't come home and veg doing nothing until bed time.  I mean I do it sometimes, but if I need to do something I am more lik...

Avoiding Vacation Sticker Shock and Rebounding

Back from Miami. I have come to realize women are awesome and can form great bonds, but they can also be full of drama for no reason.  I had a great time and definitely want to go back. The "rules" for my trip away were no pasta, rice or potoatoes.  I think I had rice or potatoes with most of my meals.  I didn't go overboard, no binging or huge portions.  Then there was the drinking.  I haven't really drank in a while...so I didn't go overboard, but I drank my fair share. Drinks at Wet Willies in Miami My ankles were not the biggest I've seen, but definitely swollen.  I decided when I got back no scale.  I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. When I got back it was a struggle to get up and workout.  It almost felt like the first couple of weeks. Also doing things that had gotten easier felt like a big of a struggle. Tuesday I got on the scale and I was 359.0.  I am stupidly happy I was in the 350s.  I'm als...
