Enjoying the little victories

So things are moving right along. I get on the scale friday. I don't feel any lighter, but my body seems alot happier. Some of the issues was huffing and puffing up a small hill I have to work to work in the subway station, my ankles and feet swelling, back hurting, no energy. All of that has changed. Ankles have gone down, feet are good. Its even easier to put on sandals because they aren't so swollen. I can see the difference walking up steps. I mean I running, but I am not sitting wondering if my heart is ok or not.

Me eating for the most part has been pretty ok. My eating plan is eat like I have some damn sense.

So breakfast at home, which mean I'm not eating the really high calorie and expensive breakfasts I was. Right now there isn't anything I want to bring for lunch and I'm tired of frozen meals. So I have given myself 10 bucks a day to eat lunch, and preferably no fast food. So I think alot more about what I'm eating. I think I'll end up at the wholefoods buffet which had been the bane of my existence. I would always spend $20+. Can you say over eating...Anyway. With only $10 to spend I make better choices and it gives me to have a little more variety. I think one of my downfalls before was I stuck to eating the same things over and over again and got bored and then didn't know what to eat.

So when I get to work I guess I have it ingrained in my head that I'm supposed to eat, so I buy fruit and south beach bars to work that out. After 2 plums and a bar I'm usually satisfied enough till lunch.

There have been some bumps to the wagon. I went to the movies last night. I had a hagendaz ice cream bar and a hot dog. Also when I went to whole foods and hit $15. but since thats 10-15 less than usual AND I had chicken, and HEAL of broccolini and some macaroni.

Exercise is ok, I'm not pushing myself to goal here is to make sure I stick to a regular schedule DO something.

35 min excercise, WATP and weghts

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...

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...

Jan has been a good month

So I made a monthly resolution with a girlfriend to do 100 min of excercise a week. I've stuck to it and I left my debit card at home so I actually ate what I was supposed to when I was at work. Things seem to be ok I'm at my highest in a weight in a while, but I'm not beating myself up. So I was 348, as of 1/22/2010 before that I was 351 So I am doing ok and I feel like I am back on track. normally I would say ok I did 100 min I need to move it up to 120 or something else or whatever. Nope, we're going to sit a 100 min and see how I feel. Some other things have happened. My love life has settled down and my warcraft playing has cut down . So seems like I need to be in a good place to lose weight. So Monday Cardio inferno 25 min mens fitness 20 min Wednesday Cardio Over drive 41 min mens fitness 20 min Total 106 min I could stop now, but I really want to work out fri and sat. and I'll weigh in Sat and the goal is to just be lower than the previous week. So li...
