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.

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...
