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.

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...

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...

Random Thoughts

So Part of my IE is staying under 2000 calories. usually I do this without thinking about it..I think it is a hold over from my dieting days and it works, so I keep it around. So anyway. It occured to me, that there are people in countries who are so called "less advanced" than the US and they are thinner and healthier than us and they have no idea what a calorie is, how many carbs they are eating or any of other many measurements we have around. I was also thinking that there was a time in this country when people had no idea what a calories was and there didn't seem to be an obesity epidemic until we got all educated....
