The 21 Day Challenge/ Vending Machine monster

Note: I started a 21 day challenge to help me get in the right mind set and stop me from blindly eating stuff and really think about what I put in my mouth.

So No Donuts, no pause days. (i just can't be trusted)
No eating out for lunch at work 3 pause days.
No vending machine at work no pause days.
Under 2000 Calories 2 pause days.
So I am Day 3 of everything and I am pretty sure



I am going to have to use a pause day for under 2000 calories since I am at 1740 and still need to eat dinner, but we'll see

So I was on my way to the vending machine, had stuck the money in and was about to select my usual treat when I thought hey....something isn't right. I remembered i had joined the challenge and I was going to have to post here that I didn't do so well early on. So I pushed the change button and walked away.

I still want something, but I think it is just a a habit and I am not going to give in. I am off to suck down some water.

Even after I walked away the vending machine monster was stalking me, but I just refused to go back....so instead I am reading posts on 3fc and window shopping on macys.com. I want to be able to buy clothes from a store I couldn't shop at. The need to eat the wicked oreo's is passing, although I am still hungry I am going to hold out until I get home and eat some veggies.

The whole thing wasn't helped by the fact that I had a bottle of orange juice and starbucks today. LOL which was about 600 calories.

On the IE scale I am probably at about a 3 and will be a 6 in hr 3 hours before I get home, but I have learned being hungry for 3 hours is not the end of the world and I want to control what I put in my mouth.

1lb

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...
