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.

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...

Darn you to Heck Indian Food.

So yesterday I had lunch with my best friend.  She's smaller than me, but still heavy.  We went out to an Indian Buffet and I should have just ordered something from the menu, but I didn't want to spend to much since we were splitting the bill and had the buffet BAD MOVE.  It was all creamy sauce stuff which really begs to be poured over rice.  I was trying to pour it over the cauliflower dish, but that had potatoes in it.  I ended up just saying eff it and eating the cauliflower with a little potatoe.  Then my flawles logic *heavy sarcasm* said well if I'mma cheat go ahead and have the rice too.  I then had like 4 glasses of water.  I don't feel like I ate alot, the problem is I ate because of self peer pressure. I think of course wanted to punish myself and was going to make myself to a really hard workout today, but thought.  Ok I don't really want to do it...and I don't want to NOT workout because I don't want to do the work out.  ...
