Listening to my Body, Some IE Victories.

So this week I only worked out once on Monday. I think I've figured out what the problem was. I was supposed to be doing prevention fitness personal training, the weight loss track and I didn't like it. I think my mind just said well I don't like it so I see no point in doing it. I also think I just needed a break from my routine. So I skipped the whole week. Saturday I did an old WATP 2 mile and today I did Yoga Booty Ballet all the way through. I plan my workout for the following week on Sunday so I am doing 30 min of the quick fit kick boxing (more on that later) and the toning from the PF:personal training (20 min).

Funny that I am doing the quick fit DVD. I bought it because I liked the kick boxing in the WALK kick (WATP) and thought i would try it with someone else. I bought quick fit and after reviewing it I just couldn't do it. So now 3-4 months later it looks like it will be challenging but doable...Nice..

Food wise. I have been eating intuitively. Since I started IE i had a problem with the eating will I was satisfied. To deal with that I would just eat smaller portions and if I was hungry I would go back for more. On Fridays I don't eat what I have at home. I think it is a bad habit, but I won't be changing it anytime soon. Anyway, I wanted Popeye's, but it was closed. I considered Applebees, but I am banned from their till lent is over. So I went to the supermarket near my house. I picked up boneless buffalo wings, 2 containers of sushi and a salad. I think I got the salad because I have noticed I don't like eating meals without a vegetable of some kind. anyway. when I got home. I ate the sushi and the salad and the boneless wings are in my fridge 2 days later. Not at all tempted by them. I will probably eat them for dinner.

Yesterday went to the movies. I thought about eating something while I watched the movie, but there is nothing I really wanted and now generally unless I actually want it....I don't bother with it...no more settling just to have something in my mouth.

I had Popeye's afterward, again thought about having 10 breaded strips and a large red beans and rice...because thats what I'm used. What I really wanted was the naked strips and and a smaller red beans and rice. My only issue is I had the sugar filled drink because they didn't have any water...at least I didn't ask. Also had some ice cream at the mall. Trying to avoid a repeat of the last time I wanted something sweet. I bought pudding and ended up eating the last 4 in once shoot. So ice cream and pudding are ok, but no point in brining them into the house.

So today I made whetena and only ate half the bowl and a piece of fruit.

So I say all of this to say....I think I am thinking alot less and the IE is a little more unconcious. I wasn't full through any of this. Also it is all very different from where I was 6 months ago.

lastly. I am just realized I am 14lbs from my next mini goal 319. Thats seems like alot, but I am also 4 lbs from 329 which would put me 10lbs from 319. So I am REALLY hoping to get to 329 by the end of March. I think it is possible, but I still need to get past my period so we'll see.

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...

Reading through my Blog/ Learning more about me

So I was looking for distraction from the vending machine monster and I found a 100 calorie snack ( i need to start carrying those again) and realized I was 312 lbs back in April. :-(, but I think the good thing is I am back at 312 and will soon be lower. I also learned spring and summer are bad times for me and I need to learn to modify my exercise plan during the summer. I think I felt like if I didn't feel like working out I couldn't do anything. I should have done maybe 30 min or something...We'll see I also noticed I am slightly scale obsessed, but like I posted before the scale has been who I judge myself and right now I WANT to be under 300lbs. So between the 100 cal snack and reading 3fc and the blog I am ok. Now home to a bowl full of mixed vegetables ( lol and I am actually looking forward to it)

Repeating Mistakes/ To fibit not to fitbit

LOL once I start blogging I can't stop. So I'm in the exercise groove...I've been here before..the weight is coming off.  I'm eating right, feeling good..and then...I do too much, get frustrated and binge and then quit...sigh So I started posting on 3 fat chicks again.  I felt like I need an outlet for things I was feeling without judgement and I like reading about other people struggles so I don't feel alone.  I am avoiding any challenges and any group posts.  The posts where everyone already knows everyone so you post but no one responds because they don't really know you...blah... The reality is I don't do well on challenges and it stops becoming about weight loss and feeling good and more about "winning" nothing..because there is no actual prize.  If I win yeah..but often I "lose" and feel bad and then begins a downward spiral into feeling like a failure.  Weirdly this is also the reason I never got into counting carbs or cal...
