Finding Your Way...For the rest of my life.

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 here. My goal seemed so far away and I wasn't miserable. I had worked off enough weight so I don't have any knee pain.

I think I am better than that, I am worth more than that. I WANT to be a size 18-20 for me. I know I will exercise the rest of my life and practice IE...and eat whole foods. Will I weight myself the rest of my life. Probably once a month. I don't think of the scale as my watch dog. If I gain some weight back I know what to do work it off. More and more IE is in grained..It isn't something I have to watch or count up. It is becoming more subconscious.

I am also thinking the IE and exercise and whole foods isn't to lose weight or be a certain size, I mean it helps...but it is because I want to be healthy and live for the next 50 years. I want to be one of those old people who is active and on the go. Running laps around people 20, 30, 40 years younger than them.

Well I got back on track with the walking. 7 miles in 2 days is alot compared to where i started from and would be nice to knock out 10 miles by sunday (the end of my work out week). Well on 3fc I have noticed how bad High Frucose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is. So I had some lamb to cook and wanted some flavor. So instead of the marinade (which has HFCS) I bought I put some olive oil, rosemary and thyme in a pan and heated that then added the lamb. A little salt and pepper on both sides. It was probably the best lamb I have ever cooked. I think I am going to give the un-used stuff to my family and finish up the rest. Or we'll see. Something else that happened yesterday. I take the bus from NY to NJ to go home and there is a long escalator to get to the bus top. Easily 20-30 feet.....and the escalator wasn't working. I walked up without stoping. I didn't feel like I was going to die and at the top I didn't stop I kept moving to get to where I had to go. So I realized...

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...
