Fork in the road

I think when you are on a long life journey of some kind you usually come to forks in road that will decide how the rest of the journey will go. Obviously with weight loss everyday you make little decisions to eat better, exercise and so on, but then there are moments when you have to decide if your stopping your journey and getting permanently derailed.

This week I had my period and I had been craving donuts. Thursday I went ahead and ate a donut and a danish, but I was ok with it and everything returned to normal.

Last night I felt like I had one of those choices. I went to the supermarket to buy little things like eggs, milk bread. I wasn't hungry and wasn't even really thinking about food....until I got to the bakery section and saw the donuts. I know it wasn't PMS and I wasn't hungry...it wasn't even a special craving for sugar. I was just thinking i want 2 of those donuts and no one will know...its late...and in my head i was thinking they wouldn't count...its the end of the day anyway....

So with all of that I got 2....because well if it doesn't count than 2 really shouldn't matter...in my infinite wisdom.

So I put them in my cart and continued to walk around the store. I was about to leave and had to adjust some stuff and saw the donuts and then I did the calculation of how many calories. It could have been anywhere from 200-400 per donut. I don't have a problem with the calories per se, but I wasn't hungry and I wasn't eating them for any other reason than I could and no one would know.......but me...

SO I left them in the store. When I finally did get hungry I ate what I had cooked the night before and I'm ok.

I do think I have some kinda sugar craving and I am going to get a piece of carrot cake today.

1lb

Well this week end been a little wacky. I didn't eat anything I planned to eat. I didn't over eat and I think I made good choices all week. I only exercised once this week which I'm not entirely happy with, but I'm ok with that too. Back at it tomorrow (Saturday). So anyway. I know I haven't had the big 3-4 weight loss I had been having so I jumped on the scale. I'm down a pound( to 333) . Its nice because I haven't gained, but I would like to be firmly in the 320s by the end of the month. I have managed to stick to my lent goals with the exception of the 2 beef meals I've had. I will admit Applebees has been calling and it was rough avoiding the scallops with bacon but I'm ok. Funny who I can ignore the Ben and Jerry's and not the scallops. I wonder if it will get easier. Happy that I am not forming any new attachments with food. I do have a craving for hooter, but I think their salads (if you can call it that, more like salad dressi...

335 Woo HOO

Posted on 3fc Well all week I have been praying for a 2lb (would put me at 339) loss which would put me in to the 330s. Weigh-in isn't until wed, but i got on the scale anyway....335...woo hoo. Make me much closer to the size I wanna be to buy summer clothes much more attainable. Well I can say it here. Next weigh in is March 14th. I would really like to be at 329 by then. My Official weigh-in isn't until Wednesday so I'll be playing the game with the scale until Wednesday morning. Also I am waiting for the time I get on the scale and nothing happens......blah...but trying to stay positive. Something else people would day the weight is falling off, but I worked this crap off. LOL

Ignoring people at work/ catching up on excercise

Well not that I look back since i last blogged I haven't been doing well, but not horrible either. I didn't work out Sun-Tues. and I have been out twice so i have one more time to go out this month and I know I am going to blow that so we'll see. I think the problem is I went away for the weekend and I wasn't carting food with me and I can't say I made good choices while I was away so I'll have to deal with that. Now that I am back home though I am doing better. I cooked last night really good curry chicken and broccoli. I ate the whole pot but I think I am only at most at 2000 for the day. I had a smartone and a danish and only water. I weight myself in eight days and really hoping I am under 325. Blah. I did Prevention 3-2-1 work out today for 35 min. I didn't do any of the ab stuff since getting up and down on the floor is a pain. I have a pain in my left knee but it seems to be better. I am 15 min from 200 min for the week which would put me back...
