The Intuituve Eater

Well I felt fat yesterday. I think it was bloating So I got on the scale and I was 325. I was suitably traumatized and then got on again this morning and I am back to 321. I think my day/night differential is 3-4 lbs. I am also wondering if I am stuck at 321 because of the weights. Will see what happens. I don't see me being in the teens by the end of the month. I'm a little bummed about it, but I am losing inches. I can see one of my rolls receding, LOL. Also as long as I'm not gaining 1lb at a time is good for me. Second workout was yesterday and no soreness today. I am more tired than I was, but I think that is because of the increase in exercise. I was like that when I started working out in the beginning. Donut is still on the frig, not motivated to eat it, if I haven't touched it by Saturday I am going to throw it out. tomorrow my workout is kind of brutal (for me anyway) 60 min cardio, 30 min belly butt and thighs (prevention fitness) and 45 weights....

Quickie post since i haven't posted in a while. Well my eating is back to normal and I have upped the exercise to include weights. Last weigh in was 321 and goal is to be in the teens by the end of the month. I am going to weigh myself early since a friend is coming to visit and I want to see the difference before and after the visit. For the weights I have been doing Jari love get ripped and prevention fitness 3-2-1. Prevention gives me a full 10 min ab workout, jari is only 4 and I get twice the thigh workout which I think I need since with just one I don't really feel it. I also try and do at least 20-30 min of just cardio before the other stuff. I am a little more tired, but my trip to Jamaica in 2.5 months away and I set a goal for myself. I can't buy clothes for spring/summer until I am 299. I don't think it is unattainable between now and then. We'll see.

Posted on 3fc Well this weekend was probably my worst eating weekend since I started IE. A girlfriend of mine came out to visit and I threw IE out the window. Won't go into everything i ate, but i felt HORRIBLE. I can't even say I enjoyed it. I hated feeling full, and the food was crap so I am suffering for it now.....blah . I don't feel like I feel off the wagon. I feel like this was a good reminder on why I do IE in the first place. On an up note. I realized I have become more critical of my body image since I've been losing and this weekend was a nice reminder that my self image isn't tied to my weight. Posted on 3fc So My eating has been wacky since Saturday. I had that I want something, but don't know what it is and rather than waiting I was eating anyway (bad Obie). So I was heating up my lunch and standing by the vending machine. Something I used to be tempted by constantly and now I can ignore with no problem. Anyway. I settled on a candy bar and I sai...

Posted on 3FC So today I exercised for 100 min, 45 min of cardio and 55 min if weights. I also realized one year and one month ago (when I joined 3fc) I could only do 15 min (1 mile Walk away the pounds) and then I would collapse on my couch and be completely exhausted afterwards. I am a DVD person and some days I don't do every step and every knee lift, but I've kept at it and worked at it and here I am. LOL There were some hiccups. i slowed down when I bought my condo and I didn't have a real eating plan until august of last year, but as of Jan I've been pretty much ON plan. So anyway, kinda of proud of myself that I have managed to hang in there

I really believe weight loss is VERY Personal and what works for one won't works for one person may not work for someone else. I also think it is wrong to judge someone else. Having said that I was reading a post on 3fc about a woman who lost 188 lbs and gained 100 lbs back. http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=109894 Some people find her inspirational, but reading her story makes me realize 1. You have to be able to do whatever you decide for life. 2. You need some flexibility. I honestly don't have the right to judge since I haven't lost much, but Reading her plan just seemed like it was a matter of time before her mind and body said ok, we lost weight, but life isn't just about eating to live. Something else That was posted in the 300+ club and I think ties in with this is....Keeping your head in the "game". After I lost my first 20lbs I was able to fit in my clothes better and thought ok. Maybe I can ease up a little and just stay her...

I kinda feel like I am moving down the road at a slow clip. While I still love food, it doesn't control how I live. I gave up applebees for lent and while I know I want to go back at some point not really pressed about it. I keep thinking I'd like a hamburger, but will get to it at some point. This week I WANTED salad and fruit. And none of this is a chore. It just seem to be natural. I had Chinese food yesterday...It was ok. I ate it, I didn't need to eat more and no desire to have it again anytime soon. Excercise is kind of the same way. Although I probably wouldn't do it as often, but As long as I hit my three days a week I am ok. I am focused on making my 800 min this month, but if I don't hit it. I know i tried and I am ok with that too. Life is good right now. posted on 3fc Since my schedule is finally pretty normal I have gotten in all my working out this week for the first time in a while. Hoping to make up the 3 days I missed and hit my goal. No ...

Well it has been a while since I posted. Between no internet at home and being sick just haven' t been able to get a post out. Basically Last month I gained and last the same 3 pounds last month. I did end up at 329. WOO HOO. I've been sick for about a week. A direct result of kissing my ex not boyfriend (i'll explain later). I didn't make my 800 min goal...not even close. I came it at 602 min, so REALLY focused about making my goal this month. So much so that I was obsessing about it while I was sick, although I did force myself to sit out 3 days. Back at it today and while I am not a 100 percent I did ok. I ate the way I felt like eating which included ramen noodles for some reason and managed to get down to 322. Wondering if this is temporary because I was sick or will I keep it off when I feel better. We'll see. So I am 3 lbs away from a major goal of 319. Next weigh in is 4 days away. I don't see losing 3 lbs in that time,although I secretly hop...
