In the Zone...Making Progress..Life is good.

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.

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 idea why I am so obsessed with this. My TOM is coming and I am hyper aware of any changes in mood or appetite since the last 2-3 months it has thrown me for a loop. I think I am also a little more focused because I am so close to a mini goal. I haven't been under 320 in probably 8 year or so. Weigh in is Monday and i am going to my parents. So we'll see. Either way I don't think I'll be upset just a lesson learned.

I bought some knee high - high heeled boots in December, but they were super tight on my foot (I could barely walk in them) and couldn't get them zipped up all the way.

Well I haven't been losing and said hey lets see who the boots are working. Well they are comfortable, and I can zip them up (with a little work at the very top) .

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...
