339 - ok...choices...slow and steady

So this week I tried to make better choices...no trying to plan the whole day just better choices. I was hungry one night going home and knew I would have about 2 hours before i got home and by the time I go home ...normally I would have picked up a crossaiant (400 calories) and i really am not a fruit person and never will be, but that is coming later. So I figured out ok I don't want fruit which would have been the asy choice but I didn't really want and I don't wanna waste of calories...So I picked out a chicken pest salad for 200 calories. I think I am going to make that for one of my meals this week.

I ate out twice this week, and it wasn't the greatest. One NSV that did happen was, whenever i go out with my girlfriend from work she never finishes her food and she offeres it for me, nad even if i've been doing good, I feel like I fall off the wagon, but then eating her food too. Well this time I was kinda lusting for what she had (chef salad) but I said no. Then the funny thing was she tried 3-4 more times. I dn't think she was trying to sabotage so much as not letting food go to waste, but I learned...I don't have to eat everything. This has been going on for years...and I know I've mentione it before so thats is cool.

So 2 lbs in 5 days. I'm happy with. I am going to try re-reading the overfed head to get me into less eating for no reason. I realize when I come home at night, even if I've eaten I wanna put something in my mouth. So I had some left over rice. Not horrible and nothing that is going to change over night, but I would like to work on it.

I didn't work out today, but again Friday seems to be my off day, pretty focused on getting something in tomorrow since I'm home. Only thing i need to do is food shop...so no pressure to get up early and rush some where.

So this week I paid more attention to when I ate and how much and when I got hungry....
So I eat 4 meals a day. the problem seems to be the gap between lunch at work and dinner when I get home (on my late days) and dinner at home at 6pm and wanting to eat again one more time by about 10 pm...I think it is because I have a weird schedule from day to day.

So I am going to make sure I have breakfast 2 lunches and dinner. I could just have 3 meals and a snack, but I've found I just end up hungry again. Blah.

So I am goin going to make
Martha stewarts chinese cabbage rolls
Spinach and pasta
salmon cakes
jambalya for dinner. over broccli
I will also pick up a 100 calories snack.

One of the other things I am trying to avoid is burning myself out by eating the same thing over and over again. I think I did that when I last the weight when I first started and could neve really commit to eating better again permanently.

Also I am going to applebess and I can have an appetizer with a salad and seltzer. I think giving up Applebees is great, but I would like ti make it manageable.

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...

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...

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...
