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.

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...

Darn you to Heck Indian Food.

So yesterday I had lunch with my best friend.  She's smaller than me, but still heavy.  We went out to an Indian Buffet and I should have just ordered something from the menu, but I didn't want to spend to much since we were splitting the bill and had the buffet BAD MOVE.  It was all creamy sauce stuff which really begs to be poured over rice.  I was trying to pour it over the cauliflower dish, but that had potatoes in it.  I ended up just saying eff it and eating the cauliflower with a little potatoe.  Then my flawles logic *heavy sarcasm* said well if I'mma cheat go ahead and have the rice too.  I then had like 4 glasses of water.  I don't feel like I ate alot, the problem is I ate because of self peer pressure. I think of course wanted to punish myself and was going to make myself to a really hard workout today, but thought.  Ok I don't really want to do it...and I don't want to NOT workout because I don't want to do the work out.  ...
