IE vs Applebees..IE Wins

Well applebees is one of my favorite places to eat...I have have absolutely no idea why, but it is....so this weekend i went and I wanted the riblets and chicken platter....2000 Calories, but I wanted it and I hadn't had the boneless buffalo wings in a while, easily 700 calories if not more.

Here is the nice thing, 3/4 of the buffalo wings and all the chicken fingers are sitting in a take out bad in my living room (soon to be moved to my fridge).

I ate what I wanted of the boneless buffalo wings and left the rest. I ate the fried and riblets and left the rest. No soda just water for the whole meal. Didn't have any desire for dessert.

This is kinda of a big deal for me, because it means I've changed. I realized I was eating easily 3000-4000 calories when I went for one meal. I would have a couple glasses of some sugary drink, and appetizer, full meal, and a dessert....and eat all of it. Sometimes this was all I ate for the day, but still...

Anyway, kinda of nice to know I am ok with the IE at applebees...now if I can just conquer my parents house.

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...
One of my new year's resolutions was to post more in my blogs, particularly my intuitive eater blog. So I bought a scale yesterday because I couldn't find one that was easily accesible when I wanted to know my weight. It is a Tanita Scale . It is the best scale I've ever used. easy, no wacky changing depending on when you get on and off and the alignment of the moon and stars. So in 3 months I've only lost 2 lbs. I really am not as upset as I probably would have been because I lost it eating supposedly bad foods and not being miserable. I bought the scale to keep me a little more focused and honest.

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...
