Well I haven't posted in a while, Work has not been fun, so pretty busy.

Also I added a few links.

Eating has been ok, I think I have some left over low carb brainwashing on the brain because I have been unconciously avoiding breads. Also I think there is a difference between eating till you're not hungry, eating till you're satisfied and eating till you're full. I was unconciously doing the first only to end up walking around hungry for most of the day. So I did some adjusting and now I have something carby in the morning with milk.

Have been exploring more vegetables. I have hated spinach pretty much all my life, but after eating it with Inidian food a while ago I realized it was just the way it was prepared. I made it last night with garlic, olive oil and some cilantro (also playing with spices) and I loved it.

Someone posted a recipe for hummus so going to try it and add that with some whole wheat pita as a snack (something other than fruit would be nice).

Excercise has been ok. I added the weights. Realizing lunges and squats are actually helping my knees...thinking about buying a stability ball and need to pick up a yoga mat.

extremely tired of walk away the pounds so trying to ween myself off of them, bougt some prevention magazine DVDs and will be trying those.

So First weigh-in for the month and between now and then I have dinner with a girlfriend (the one who likes to offer me her left overs) and an overnight to my parents who seem to love to order out, and generally don't eat well....

Wish me luck.

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...
