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.

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...
