Every Little bit helps

So I was in bed this morning thinking i did my abs, but i don't feel anything....well low and behold i got out of bed and stretched and my abs yeah thats what you think. My arms also chimed in. So I was going to do
Shortcuts to be weight loss, which is 3 10 min segments, but it seemed to have alot of weight work. I did the first one which is compound exercise without weights and felt li ke I did something....anything this one is good for the days when I don't wanna do 2 seperate DVDs, but I wanna do something.

I added the 15 I did, and now I am pretty much 2 workouts shy of my goal...woo hoo

Eating was ok, had egg weight omlets with lots of stuff, 2 fiber bars and 2 burrito from baja fresh, but I took them out of their tortillas and make it a bowl which I think probably halved the calories since I know the tortialla is about 300-500 calories. I didn't feel full afterwards, just satisfied....nice..

So something I want to try in decmber is a points system. I want to work on 1) not buying food during the week, or spending $5.00 or less on a work day 2) not eating sheilas food when we go to lunch 3) limiting myself to 4 kisses (candy) everyday. Everyday I manage to achive it would be a point and maybe the points would be yards of fabric I am allowed to buy.

so 1 pt=12inches of fabic so 1 yard would be 3 pts. so I could by 3o yards in a month.

So we'll start this December 1. Wish me Luck

Quick Recap

Well I am ashamed it has been this long since I posted. I got down to 306 after much not eating and too much exercising, but after the trip to Jamaica I haven't gotten back in the groove of things. I think alot of that has to do with issues with the Ex. Those may not be settled, but i am not as emotionally invested as I won't was. With IE I was able to stay at 320 or under. I am 312 now, and focused once again. I am not nearly as strict as I was, which might also explain why I haven't gotten under 300. Anyway....Thats where I am at now. Will try and write more later.

Finding Joy in the Little Changes

So it's taken me 2 months to lose 4 lbs. I know people are are gonna ready that and be like dude you suck. There are a couple of things to note: When I started 2 months ago I was 359 and then the week after I went up to 363. I checked my spreadsheet and I haven't been 355 or lower in 4 years. I've been struggling in the 360s for YEARS !!!!!! I've been in the 350s for a couple of weeks with a mostly steady decline I'm not struggling with eating, and working out is doable. In terms of non scale victories. I can eat salad. It isn't the end of the world and honestly when I'm out and about it takes the weight of having to figure out what to eat. I don't feel the need to eat EVERYTHING on my plate. I don't eat what I don't want. ( We will ignore the cream puff I had yesterday) I have more energy. I don't come home and veg doing nothing until bed time. I mean I do it sometimes, but if I need to do something I am more lik...

Avoiding Vacation Sticker Shock and Rebounding

Back from Miami. I have come to realize women are awesome and can form great bonds, but they can also be full of drama for no reason. I had a great time and definitely want to go back. The "rules" for my trip away were no pasta, rice or potoatoes. I think I had rice or potatoes with most of my meals. I didn't go overboard, no binging or huge portions. Then there was the drinking. I haven't really drank in a while...so I didn't go overboard, but I drank my fair share. Drinks at Wet Willies in Miami My ankles were not the biggest I've seen, but definitely swollen. I decided when I got back no scale. I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. When I got back it was a struggle to get up and workout. It almost felt like the first couple of weeks. Also doing things that had gotten easier felt like a big of a struggle. Tuesday I got on the scale and I was 359.0. I am stupidly happy I was in the 350s. I'm als...
