The Law of Averages/The lesser of 2 evils

So I had a bad day at work yesterday and I ended up staying late and we get a free meal when we do that (yeah you can see where I am going with this). I was hungry but all I had in my bag was 2 grapefruits and a 100 cal snack which didn't interest me at all. So I was thinking about ordering, but ended up get a bag of chips out of the vending machine (150 cal) I was ok and then I got home and ate dinner.

So when I got home from my bad day I decided to get on the scale to see where I am at. I figured if I wasn't down no point in spoiling a good day when I had a perfectly good bad one today.

So I got down and I was 320 (5/8/2008). So since May 2 (7 days) I've lost 5 lbs and which I can't say I was a strict in my dieting it is working. I think it is more due to the addition of weight in some way with every work out. Next weigh in is May 15th so wish me luck.

So on to the averages part. I weighed myself last night and I was 320 I got up this morning and peed and passed gas (sorry I had to take it there) and I was still 320. so my scale can store 5 different weight profiles so weighed my I weighed myseld again and I was 319.8. woo hoo next time 320 (boo hiss) so 3 times I was 319.8 and the other I was 320 so we're going with 319. Woo HOO.

Another reason I got on the scale was I have to go to my parents and the downward momentum will make me more motived to stay on plan.

I did watp power mile and a new DVD the firm super sculpt. Didn't really care for it. Will write more about it another time. (30 min of excercise)

I know it is isn't alot but considering every friday I stay in bed and don't work out again until monday I think it is a good thing.

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...

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...

Still doing my thing

So I haven't posted in a bit, but I've stayed the course.  I hit my exercise goal kind of early so I kinda of slacked off. I'm back at it this week primarily because of my work out buddy at work.  She mentioned we were supposed to work out and that got me back into the swing of things.  I was thinking I should tell her I don't want to work out anymore, but seems to be a good way to make me accountable.  I've been tracking my calories half heartedly, well mostly carbs and sodium and how much water I am drinking.  My ankles swelled up which surprised me, but I think it was due to my TOM.  I also didn't get on the scale because emotionally I just couldn't deal with seeing the scale go up.  Today was interesting I left my lunch at home and thought oh I can order something now, but I ended up running to a supermarket and picking up a smart one. Which leads me to an article on who the obesity epidemic is caused by ultra processed foods, which I totally b...
