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.

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...

335 Woo HOO

Posted on 3fc Well all week I have been praying for a 2lb (would put me at 339) loss which would put me in to the 330s. Weigh-in isn't until wed, but i got on the scale anyway....335...woo hoo. Make me much closer to the size I wanna be to buy summer clothes much more attainable. Well I can say it here. Next weigh in is March 14th. I would really like to be at 329 by then. My Official weigh-in isn't until Wednesday so I'll be playing the game with the scale until Wednesday morning. Also I am waiting for the time I get on the scale and nothing happens......blah...but trying to stay positive. Something else people would day the weight is falling off, but I worked this crap off. LOL

Ignoring people at work/ catching up on excercise

Well not that I look back since i last blogged I haven't been doing well, but not horrible either. I didn't work out Sun-Tues. and I have been out twice so i have one more time to go out this month and I know I am going to blow that so we'll see. I think the problem is I went away for the weekend and I wasn't carting food with me and I can't say I made good choices while I was away so I'll have to deal with that. Now that I am back home though I am doing better. I cooked last night really good curry chicken and broccoli. I ate the whole pot but I think I am only at most at 2000 for the day. I had a smartone and a danish and only water. I weight myself in eight days and really hoping I am under 325. Blah. I did Prevention 3-2-1 work out today for 35 min. I didn't do any of the ab stuff since getting up and down on the floor is a pain. I have a pain in my left knee but it seems to be better. I am 15 min from 200 min for the week which would put me back...
